dh-lKBaw-ZM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh-lKBaw-ZM | CANCER*3/23-3/29* TWIN FLAME TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATION* DIVINE TIMING & DESTINY | hi everybody welcome to a Crow's called Tarot this melody this video is for the star sign of cancer for this week of March 23rd through March 29th alright so we are in the New Moon energy the new moon is Aries cancer let's see what that moon's energy looks like around you this week what is the moon's energy look like around cancer this week spirit what does the moon's energy look like can I have my car keys we believe in the impossible cancer so believe in miracles is what I feel spirit is telling you cancer so I kind of feel like experiencing believe that miracles can happen if you think it's not possible believe that it is possible all right so what's going on um how is this affecting cancer spirit cancer how does this means energy affecting me this week Wow and I have just one card maybe two not 12 Oh beautiful all right so we have a spider spirit fate destiny and free will so that's why spirit is telling to believe in a possible believe that things are destined for you that there's a faded energy around you even though you do have the energy of free will and I see the spider as a feminine energy so there you go so we're gonna go ahead and pull these are Terra right [Music] we high priestess is somebody who who's able to see through the Bell who is very psychic very intuitive so yeah beautiful energy so we have the seven of Pentacles so I kind of feel like Spirit is telling you you know you need to have this essence of being patient it's also reviewing things reviewing things from perhaps your past or just reviewing things within your life in general perhaps you're reviewing emotions reviewing a self love your self esteem and you are recognizing that energy you're also in recognition of things that are destined for you and now we have the this is the night of once so it kind of feel like you know spirit is telling you that this is a dustin energy for you with this New Moon in Aries and they want you to believe in the impossible things that are destined for you are coming towards you I feel I feel that you've been patient you've been nurturing the seeds of intentions that you've been planning I kind of like spirit is saying we have recognized your patience cancer and now you're in this energy of exercising your free will to create this energy of you know it's like a I see the temperance on here as the angel of time it has taken some time for this energy it has taken some time for you to raise your self-esteem it is taking some time for you to recognize what was out of balance within your energy so that you could move forward I can't believe you had some opposing energy is within you like your head in your heart we're telling you two different things and it's like your your mind was rolling your heart space okay and it was keeping you in this energy of not being able to be receptive to things that is because you asked answers are very giving we give give give give give all right so this week I fell spirit is telling you you know you've given so much of your heart that it's time for you to get back is what I feel all right and like I said they have observed this and giving aspect of you giving your hearts all right they have as they have observed that all right and now it's like whatever seeds of intention that you have planted this is a destined energy believe that destiny is on your side that it is believe in the impossible believe that things are fading so I have spirits telling you you know what she wasn't quite seeing clearly is coming to the forefront is what they feel you are actually observing this energy alright you are recognizing things that you have you are recognizing how you have manifested and that is you know you recognizing the inner conflict that you've had within yourself things that maybe wasn't seeing clearly before you are finally seeing clearly you are recognizing that you was manifesting from more of a you were creating your reality more from the mental body versus your heart space and spirit is telling you it's time to heal that it's time to balance that it is time to exercise the right to free will and create you know a different kind of reality and move into that it's time to create something new a new adventure is when I fell it's time to create a new adventure within your reality one that is more abundant more accepting versus giving okay that's what I feel for you cancer Wow it's like you know you have given and given and given so much love out into the world that now spirit is saying it is time for you to be given all of that love back to you it's time for them to bring in things back to you um things that are positive things that you like I feel like if you've played a lot of intention you've planted a lot of seeds of intentions into your reality is what they feel and it's all came from the mental body and you know you give so much on emotionally like you are we're all emotional people I am at cancer as well so we are all emotional people okay and I feel like spirit is telling you they you know I kind of feel like you have you have visions I kind of like you're clairvoyant as a high priestess I'm looking at she's the one who has that sacred knowledge she is able to see from a higher perspective is what I feel you're observing things you're recognizing things from a higher perspective already you're recognizing them seeds of intentions that you have planted from a higher perspective all right but yet you're observing this on an internal basis it's like you're having this inner conflict like what is destiny going to bring things back to me okay I'm ready for this new adventure is what I feel all right so we're going to go ahead and pull a Lenormand card pull a Lenormand card for the star sign of cancer yeah seeing things from that higher perspective I'm the owl's coming through the owl's is being wise the owl's is that sacred wisdom that sacred knowledge and we have the seven of Pentacles coming through for the second time so there's a 12 at the top of the corner 12 to me is a three so threes to me are things that you are alignment with and what you're in alignment with is the secret knowledge the sacred wisdom being the hot priestess here okay you are in alignment with that secret knowledge that sacred wisdom of them that seeds of intention that you have planed with the seven of Pentacles seven of Pentacles is in review of that knowledge review of the inner conflict and you are actually it's like now there's a new adventure coming towards you that is part of your destiny okay so let's see if anything else wants to come out with that out part communication gossip conversation nervous social excitement curious short trips yeah new adventure meetings exchanges vocal paired couple perspectives open-mindedness and vision chitchat that is likely short-lived so what I felt is you know it's like you are having this conversation with your spirit team is what I feel okay and that is giving you it's like you're more open to the spiritual communication that is coming into you versus this inner conflict that you've been having because it's like and I do the same thing it's like you get this spiritual like you hear things coming from spirit but then you second-guess it because it's like is it my ego talking or is it spirit talking and that's what I felt well this week you are gonna recognize the difference is what I feel you're gonna recognize the difference between spirit talking to you and your ego talking to you and it's like you are gonna review is that energy right now it's like you have some sort of a new adventure that is destined for you to go on that's what II feel free to cancer so let's go ahead and pull a remnants into work part what's going on with love for cancers what's going on as far as love for cancers I also feel like you are in spiritual review it's like you're reviewing this inner conflict and you know it's like you are in this energy of balancing that energy out balancing your head and your heart so that you can't go on this spiritual trip I kind of that's what's happening you're going on a spiritual adventure worth waiting for divine timing is at work in your love life yep so the person that you um the person that you want to manifest within your reality okay is you know we have something about time so believe in the impossible there is I kind of feel like you are spiritually communicating to your other person is what they feel you're you are communicating to the person that you are destined to be with but I also feel like you are also communicating to your spirit team as well I got that both coming through all right so divine timing is at work in your love life this is a destined energy and it kind of feel like this is something you know with that Spyder spirit I see spiders as you know it's like they create their new webs I mean they could just pack up the old lab and move on to a new place and create something new so I kind of feel like that's what spirit is telling you you have the free will to create things within your reality you have that free will to you know be patient I also feel like there's an energy of patience coming through with the seven of Pentacles coming out twice so I feel like spirit is telling you to be patient because divine timing is at work within your heart space when it comes to a divine love that's what I felt and that's why you're in this energy of believing in the impossible believing that destiny you know Dustin the spirit time is different than our time so you have to believe that destiny is work within your love life and I do feel that you are telepathically communicating with your person with the two owls here you are telepathically communicating to your person and you are recognizing this all right because you are giving them messages and you are also receiving the messages back from your person that's what they feel what you wasn't quite seeing clearly this week you are waking up to things that are faded and realizing who you are as a high priestess a spiritual divine person okay so let's go ahead and pull some oracle cards oh wow twin flame the twin flame card just came out so that makes perfect sense why you have the two owls here you are telepathically communicating to your twin flame and that is exactly I mean you just can't make this stuff up cancer you just can't you are telepathically communicating to your twin flame and you're reviewing that within your reality of how you are doing that okay that's why there's two owls on here and you are understanding that you know fate destiny has everything to do with this energy so cancers unless I feel for whoever cancers that is watching this video I feel that you you're on a twin flame journey is what I feel alright and this is a Dustin partnership okay and that's why the divine is working with you to help temper the mental and emotional bodies between you two well that's what you're doing you are recognizing that this is a twin flame journey alright that you had to go through all of this you viewing things from your past and understanding why you had to go through all this conflict with this person you are in recognition of the kind of journey that you are on you're also in recognition of the communication the higher communication that you are having with your person it's like you know you know that when the time is right that you guys will be going off on a new adventure I also see the night of panic or night of once as somebody who wasn't able to plant the roots within their reality in the past is what I felt I kind of feel like we got two cards of divine timing here well the temperance means the end o of time and the romance angels are saying when the time is right you guys will come together but right now they're telling you to be patient and just to continue because I kind of feel like your twin is also hearing and understanding the things that you are communicating to them and that's why you need to be careful with what you are thinking because your twin flame is it's feeling that energy as well okay so if you watch it wasn't quite seeing clearly before you are in recognition of you are recognizing how you are mentally telepathically communicating to your twin flame and you are shifting that you are shifting that conflict on an internal level and now you are being more receptive to this communication and you are realizing that this is a destined energy cancer this is part of your faded this is the reason why you have come down here incarnated as a human all right so these are cancers new spirit new crystal cards I got them from a little shop right up the road from my house all the naughty beads so if you live in southwest Pennsylvania near where I live I I recommend that you go to ninety beads either pick up this deck which was reasonably cheap or the crystal that spirit recommends that you grab cancer if you don't live in my area go to the nearest crystal shop and get the crystal that Spirit recommends that you grab so cancer what is a crystal that you recommend that cancer grabs for this week's energy what is it crystal you recommend for cancer for this speech that they carried mmm beautiful business and this is to keep you in alignment I am complete it'll help to complete you it's for all of your chakras it's to help to bring in transformation cohesion and to change things change how you are viewing your path to help you to transform this energy beautiful so business I recommend that you get a piece of that cancer alright so if we feel the need to stop the video to break that down do so so to help you to transform this inner conflict okay to help you to bring about the changes of how you communicate how you are telepathically communicating to your person and help you to align all of your chakras and number three come into alignment with all of your chakras alright so that is your weekly reading cancer thank

m9f2G14xN0E | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9f2G14xN0E | THE NEW STRAW HAT!! | One Piece REACTION | I skipped the uh the recap and the title card and all that and we end up on on this Frame there's there were no other options it's just staring at me please and gentlemen welcome back to the beginning we have episodes 322 and 323 of our one piece watch today getting near the end of water seven the final four baby Luby really wants Frankie to join the crew and then doing so stole his swimsuit and had him chase him all the way across the city that being said Usopp is still nowhere to be found and I I don't know this this gonna resolve somehow but the new ship is absolutely boy I need to see more you need to get this off of my screen I guess it all does kind of come full circle with the whole like perv thing and how big of a problem people in water 7 have with indecency and indecent exposure it does make sense actually the more I think about it how perfect this is we're gonna run him out of town just before he's naked oh okay guys it's starting to feel mean he doesn't care come on Frankie come on no you want to oh no he's fighting back super oh my what a beautiful shot oh my well this is a scripture what is happening is this Schwan glowing behind the children's eyes what an incredible aura [Music] the more dude I I really do want them to join now get roll for them are you gonna grab them then you're gonna have to like start sailing and then like grab him oh oh it just got like like really intense oh my gosh what has happened bro no [Music] there is no way she just did that Robin grabbed Frankie's balls I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous they're gonna plot like berries [Music] stop you're killing him he's like a random Parts all over at this point replace the balls too I don't care of course he is this is the best bit in the entire show thus far by far pulling him a treasure that's so sweet Frankie can you get on board just so I can see more of the ship it hurts right now to me watching this like I have this weird feeling in my gut we'll do it then dude you can't say you're not a ship right after building something like this Dream Ship oh shoot oh shoot oh he's gonna say that like it needs love and care over time you have to travel in the Dream Ship get to know the Dream Ship like they got to know Mary I like that actually don't you dare destroy this one too and make me more than another ship you animals I think he's just grown to attached the Frankie family and just water something in general he doesn't want to leave he's real I mean we already know he really does want to go with them God I hope Tom is alive so bad man I Won't Give Up The Hope resolutely What's it gonna take man [Music] I feel like it was an inevitability even though they used the battle Frankies so is there a giant one on the side because it's not a battle Frankie but it's kind of like its own new thing it's like what it's like his ship is first I guess they were like actual just complete state-of-the-art ship [Music] he's always been protecting the all he's always been helping the island yeah he was painted as a as a villain from the beginning foreign step one uh what was that [Applause] a bag oh [Music] my God they didn't even want to say goodbye true editions he's using this to make himself feel better about going not anymore though if he leaves and they begin their next chapter too the words slid with them they are just like him yeah Billy David's honed for him a tone to him and now it's ready it's it's time for them to start their own dreams too Chopper we're down to grapes then this one is tangerines yeah go get revenge on the step hold on now I'm starting to think they're actually gonna come off no way no way did she block them oh wait what is he pretending okay [Music] dads wasn't one of them to realize that he's just crying oh my gosh oh shoot wait are they here still wait why are you teasing me oh my gosh this is when he took them in gosh they do just look like your average street thugs so he just put them all in their place inherently taking them away off the streets of water seven too kind of like reforming them foreign he could craft you like a diamond push meld pressure this is his goodbye to them how did he meet them we saw them on a train actually whenever the the pumping Thomas first made the stylish bikini told him to do their hair like that sponge booze from others he put them on the soda instead of alcohol oh my gosh he really was protecting on helping and still trying to do some part for water seven even hidden away he gave them all a second shot [Music] we're just gonna continue the cycle that he started for others got them all he just tucked them in man oh gosh they weren't even on the ship oh yeah they weren't where's USA I thought he was just gonna leave and be like oh yeah they got away what happened he just changed his mind come on Frankie it's time oh he's giving him the decision he has to he has to make it himself [Music] [Laughter] let's go he had to come around eventually got allies in water seven now just like Alabaster he's never left has he he's sort of like Chopper like just stepping onto the new world I guess all most of the new world I guess most of like usab had never left like this just new adventures for all of them he still hasn't put it on man yeah that was the shot I was talking about where we saw them originally [Music] what a freaking journey in water seven man holy the three good ones we better see these bastards again one day bro I swear son of a get more also goats of the any sloppy attack God damn I always get like the same feeling in my like my heart whenever someone's like leaving this place they've known all their lives enjoying he can't hold it anymore why is he moving that okay again I okay there's a couple questions hey I'll ask one more time where the heck is Usopp two why is GARP back episode 323 let's go to me maybe he just like forgot to tell Luffy something that's my best guess why would he come back no wait they're getting on their ship but dude what is happening there's no way he's gonna attack them right is this gonna be the first test of their new ship speaking of do we have a name for some new ship with them [Music] oh he got in trouble with the big boss boss man why would you say that Garb oh my gosh yeah why is he with them no that makes sense that probably would be a lot of work and take much longer oh gosh maybe this will be their first time dude it's so glorious it looks so good they're asking yeah the exact same question I've been asking Chopper's like crying bro oh he told them he was rehearsing wait so is this gonna explain why they had like Stern looks I'm guessing even Luffy was gung-ho about it so were they just waiting although they were looking at Zorro he zoro's told them he has to come to us and he has to ask true dude Zoro is just the rock bro he's like you have to be captain and you have to wait for him God dang dude I'll always be grounding them to the decisions made yeah [Laughter] you gotta keep a certain level of respect yeah respect there's a sort of hierarchy even if they are super close like family you have to maintain that is [Music] Zoro wants him to come back just like everyone else I think Robin would agree as well they have to maintain this sort of like rock solid foundation of the of the crew facts facts Luffy knows he's right too [Music] and now it's been several days and he still hasn't said sorry Luby's trying to hold it together man oh yeah dang I think he is cracking man and they see it too even Zoro thought he would why do I feel like usop either like slept in or he stowed away oh nope yep he's on the island still okay oh my gosh he didn't know they were leaving oh my gosh oh my goodness bro's just gonna get to the shore and the ship's gonna be gone Vice Captain he's gonna leverage this see this is bad though he's going in with the mindset that he doesn't have to apologize that they'll ask for him to join back it is kind of sadly leaving Water Seven it's so beautiful man oh my gosh CG ship holy we've entered a CG era how far we've come oh GARP oh my gosh they're actually being attacked bro they're just leaving and they've already been targeted time to see what this bad boy can do this is Grandpa I don't think he has a speaker oh my gosh this dude just goes zero to a hundred what is he gonna throw it oh my gosh bro don't mess up the ship it's new oh he's gonna miss on purpose no no there's no way so this garb's whole thing is like his fist his punching his oh my gosh choppers on the mask a thousand is Buddy gonna throw him like buddy else snowballs [Music] I still can't get over his his like design like the Terminator design oh we met a secret Flex I'm I'm guessing is he gonna mess up the ship already dude I love this and pretty nobody's just running late that's what all of them are thinking right now like where is he we we thought he was coming Chopper smell to him how is he gonna get on board bro he's realized it you better get a yogurt or something bro god dude the ship looks so good the absolute chaos around them yeah everybody did foreign thing like the fact that he technically has a bounty but doesn't I want to see what's up in that canopy type thing like the the Crow's Nest but it looks like an entire room also what's on the back end it looks like a booster [ __ ] you cannot jump to them what is the plan here they're so far from sure already you can't swim those waves either you got something new in the Arsenal he's still just chucking a man sharp is so cool I won't even lie he totally could hit them if he wanted to I guarantee it this is exactly like the end of anyth Lobby it's the cannonballs when they were all firing at them and he still has the wrong mindset bro I guarantee you they can't hear a single thing you're saying right now which is probably good he still kind of wants them to apologize in a sort of way meanwhile they're just fighting off all these cannonballs there's pretending to not hear him oh this ship hasn't suffered yet God it's such a pretty ship the colors and all just apologize Usopp please bro you left you want to rejoin you have to put your ego aside man [Music] and the entirety of any sloppy show that he could keep up with her strength he just worked as a part of them differently Let It Be I'm sorry let it they're getting like way too far like gone [Applause] oh my gosh yes baby that's what I've been waiting for they all had that discussion what's that mean so I was so proud of him man now what are they gonna turn around he finally put his ego aside man just staring at a chopper too your best never leave again you bastard oh he is just gonna grab him isn't he oh my gosh that is so far oh he can't falter [Laughter] even saw just crying so damn wholesome man he's back baby the gang's together again finally on to Fishman Island I just realized in the last shot too Frank I think that's Frankie chilling down here kind of because like the the og5 are back together so he has to be kind of where yeah wait where's Robin is she just vibing somewhere on board and there we have it our escape from water 7 began I don't think GARP is really like throwing to actually try to hit them he just kind of has to make it seem like it like it was oh yeah I used all these cannonballs they just got away which I feel like send Goku's gonna be like yeah I know you let them get away but I mean it seems like a GARP is like high up enough to where they they wouldn't they they would just like kind of let it go past even though they all have bounties now and are are worth a substantial amount Chopper not as much included but I'm really excited to see the details of this ship how it how everything works on board and I guess how Frankie starts to kind of like uh adapt to the group because I think he'll make a fine addition to the crew

Communication Mismanagement To The Public Has Contributed To The Increase In COVID-19 Cases | a new study conducted by the World Health Organization predicts they're about 83,000 to 190,000 people in Africa would die from the cuvee 19 virus an estimation of 29 million to 44 million people is likely to get infected with the virus if the Cova 19 virus is not properly contained the new study by the WH old regional office for Africa was conducted based on the assumption that no measures to properly contain the virus has been put into place fortunately that has not been the case several African countries were under lockdown from the middle of march to the beginning of May some are still under lockdown others who have called off the lockdown have implemented curfews some countries have bad public gatherings of ascetic number of people some countries by the gathering of 10 or more people in one place or the ban others about 20 or more and 50 or more now join us life is belong or lodg'd a good egg belong good day now we hear our projections 120,000 cases in Lagos by July 190,000 deaths in Africa by August how did they how do they usually arrive at these figures and how believable are they well the figures we have since revised to this I remember that sometimes in March we were has now become around 19,000 so that's a dramatic revision anyway from the numbers that we have across Africa is possible to actually project if I take the legend example we know how many fantasies confirmed infections we have we know that this charge we know the death so we can calculate the death rate that if I have a sample of this much this is the average number people that die within that sample so if I can extrapolate that Sancho how many infections am I likely to have by say June or July it is also possible for me to know how much death am I expecting within that sample space so those are the kind of novels play with we have a current situation we also have a bit of history so from February 2017 there is a pattern so we can use that to into the future and now Nigeria for one has not gotten to its peak in terms of you know death - how does publishing this projections help the average man or woman what we need to be able to use those numbers to do to use the tune of say continual citizens education so when we let this numbers to tell them how this infection is spreading and we know how diversity is by being able to turn them out of this much infection these are the number of people that are dying and then we use the opportunity to slow change what we see that the citizens can - to help us flatten the curve reduce the number of infections are reduce the number of deaths that we have so on its own the figures themselves do not help much but we can use those because you connect to citizens education for the people all right thank you very much well for the time it's always a pleasure having you on the news you're welcome thank you very much | Plus TV Africa | UCkY5L8JYwx7BT0cOXYZX_dw | 2020-05-11 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 547 | 2,866 |

C_Kl6bdbSCM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Kl6bdbSCM | Cleaning Your Motorcycle Windshield | Cruiseman's Motorcycle Detailing Series | hey everybody welcome back to cruise man's garage today i'm going to talk to you just a little bit about how i keep the windshield on my motorcycle cleaned and maintained now i'm on a 2018 honda gold wing with an f4 customs windshield but the techniques i'm going to show you today would really work with any acrylic luxan polycarbonate type windshield so the f4 customs windshield has some special properties that allow you to clean it with paper towels and windex however your typical motorcycle windshield not a good idea to do that it could damage it paper towels are actually made originally from wood so these fibers even though they're very small can actually damage these delicate plastics and polycarbonates that are used to make your motorcycle windshield so i would recommend that you avoid using paper towels again if you have an f4 customs windshield they have a proprietary coating that will allow you to use paper towels and even window cleaners i would not recommend using any product any window cleaner with vinegar alcohol anything like that on a windshield it's really unnecessary and it could damage the plastics on your windshield the first thing i'm going to do on this particular motorcycle before i start cleaning this windshield is i'm going to raise it to its fullest height and that's going to make it easier to clean the entire windshield let's turn the bike on now what i'm going to use today to clean this windshield is just basically clean water i'm actually using distilled water i don't think you have to use distilled water if you have filtered water that's better but it doesn't have to be you just want to make sure it's good clean water the best thing about this is it's available anywhere so even if you're at a gas station i always carry a small not this size but i carry a smaller pistol grip sprayer with me when i travel on a road trip and i always keep it filled with water and you can fill them up in a gas station bathroom if necessary i have never had a windshield that was so dirty that it couldn't be cleaned with just water now if you ended up with some tar or something really sticky like from tree sap or something then you might have to use a mild detergent with the water but that's a pretty extreme case but even bugs that splatter on the windshield or other mud and things like that will usually come off with just water so the first thing i'm going to do is pretty simple stuff really i'm just going to spray this real liberally i want to spray as much water as i can because i want to remove surface dust as much as i can on the surface just by spraying it with water so these are the two cloths that i use for cleaning my windshield one of them you can get on amazon i think you can get them both on amazon this one comes from the chemical guys and i've actually started using this more recently and i really really like it it's a waffle design it's very very soft it's made for soft plastics in fact that's the one i'm going to use today this is another one that i that i also use i keep these on the bike when i travel and they work well too i'll put links to both of these in the description of this video if you're interested and of course you can order those on amazon so the first thing i want to do is i want to spray this windshield as much as possible i want to get as much of the dust and the surface dirt and dust off as i can before i start using the microfiber the reason is pretty simple when you drag this cloth over those plastics you can leave micro scratches in your windshield just the surface dust alone can scratch the plastic think of it like sandpaper i mean you're basically dragging dirt and dust across that clear plastic so you want to get as much of that off as possible before you begin cleaning it off and drying it so i'm going to continue with this spray bottle now of course if you have a hose with water or a mild detergent that's fine too the key is to soak it as good as you can before you start wiping it down okay that should be good there the next thing i do is i like to go in a vertical direction i don't want to go across if i were going to get any micro scratches at all i'd much rather than them be vertical than horizontal that's just me so what i'm going to do is i'm going to take my rag it's folded up three times and i'm going to go very lightly just the weight of the rag i just want to drag that water off of the windshield and it will absorb into this microfiber towel so i'm just being very slow to get that initial water off of there i'm not bearing down at all i'm just using basically the weight of the rag now i can flip the rag over to a clean part of the and you always want to make sure you're using a brand new freshly washed clean microfiber you don't want to grab a dirty one because anything that's on that microfiber is going to contact that plastic and could potentially scratch it so you always want to make sure you're using a clean towel make sure you're using the correct microfiber like i said these are the ones i like if you buy microfiber cloths at costco those yellow ones are really great for drying off your motorcycle and other parts but things can stick to those little fibers very easily and they can scratch your windshield so use the correct one now i can come back and begin sort of polishing i'm applying a little bit more weight and i can start cleaning off that windshield and the back of the windshield is exactly the same as the front so you do the same technique on the rear or the or the back side of the windshield this technique of how i clean is also also applies to your clear dash lens if you have a gold wing like i do you have this fairly large clear dash same technique applies it's even more susceptible to scratching than the windshield so you want to make sure you soak it really really well before you begin the drying process i would not use a polish a polish is an abrasive and it can scratch the windshield it can if there is any kind of a coating on your windshield a polish could damage that coating or remove the coating altogether so i would i would be hesitant to use a polish now something like plexus or lemon pledge even though they may refer to it as a polish it's not an abrasive type of polish so plexus it's almost like a silicone spray of sorts it will give it a little bit of water shedding ability it's a good product it's a little expensive and that's why some people actually use lemon pledge because they get similar results you also have the honda all-purpose cleaner that comes in the aerosol can another good product to use on plastic but i wouldn't i wouldn't use that to remove dust and dirt i would go ahead and use straight water first rinse off the windshield first or the clear plastic first then if you want to go back with the honda polish that's fine okay so now we're going to clean the clear dash lens on this 2018 gold wing it does have some it may be hard to see now but it does have some dirt some mud spots and and dust on it surface dust after it rained the other day you can even see some of it here on the center panel now what i'm going to do on this particular application is i'm going to use a little bit of detergent in water maybe one part detergent to 10 parts water very very very mild soapy solution and i'm going to use that just so that it can kind of loosen some of that material that's on this dash lens and i don't need to let it dwell a long time i'm just going to spray it on there let it kind of wash everything off and then i'm going to come back with my distilled water and just give it a good rinse i don't want to rub it i don't want to do anything that could potentially scratch or cause those dust particles to scratch this clear lens because it is a very very soft plastic it does not have a protective coating that i'm aware of it may have a uv coating on it from honda they don't really say they don't tell us so i don't recommend using a polish on it because you wouldn't want to remove whatever coating they might have now i'm going to use my microfiber very again very very lightly i'm just going to let it drag across that lens and get some of that surface water off i'm not rubbing it i'm not putting applying any pressure i just need to get the water spots off of that lens and you can use this same technique on your center console because this piano black plastic also can scratch very easily so you can use the same technique to clean your center panel switch as you do this lens and you will get some hairline scratches on this lens it's almost impossible not to it's such a soft surface it's just almost impossible not to get some hairline scratches it's just not a very good quality coated protective plastic but this is going to help you keep from any major scratches that will be really really annoying i hope that answers some of your questions on how to maintain your windshield if you have any questions please put them in the comments down below if you

BPV68OieV4M | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPV68OieV4M | AI Generated Art is HORRIFYING | our world is getting horrifyingly advanced as far as technology goes and as far specifically as ai goes everybody obviously knows that things can be just like created things that aren't necessarily real whether it be like vfx or just like basic photoshops now with deep fakes which are becoming not only increasingly better but increasingly easier and more convincing even stuff like live uh facial tracking with snapchat filters and instagram filters and stuff it's all getting crazy and something that's getting really really crazy is ai produced images the biggest one right now that's like the most popular amongst the general public is probably this one which is dolly mini so basically what you do is you it's an 8 mm ai model generating images from any prompt so we just give it a prompt and then it uses the data that it has to create an image on its own so let's see let's do something very basic red barn with a horse standing beside it okay let's click run let's see if this actually works because most of the time dolly mini has too many users on it okay here we go so now we have different images that this made of a red barn with a horse standing beside it i mean this honestly already is extremely impressive to me that it can just take these words that i wrote and make its own image of like it's not perfect it's [ __ ] up looking obviously but you can very clearly tell that this is a red barn with a horse standing beside it it's crazy it's wacky it's kooky crazy bud let's see what happens if we just do crank gameplays dolly mini is not the only ai image generating platform out there there's a bunch of them that are coming out the most advanced one which you have to join a wait list and very few people are getting in is dolly e2 which apparently is like horrifying like just what you can make in the the reason why it's really scary is that one anybody can just sort of make any image without having like any skills at all and so things can obviously very easily be fake but two it's obviously very um it's very scary for different artists out there like specifically when i am thinking of this kind of stuff i'm thinking of storyboard artists um and people who you know start the process of like a creative collaboration you know there's so many people out there that make concept art and things like that and so this i feel like is the most scary for those kind of people in that field where it's like okay we're just trying to come up with a loose concept you know why hire somebody uh when we can just use this ai thing and it spits out an image this is awful oh my god look it's me guys so bad but yeah i feel like it's really scary for uh for like concept artists and storyboard artists and stuff like that but today we're actually not going to be looking at dolly mini uh we are going to be looking at something that is a bit more advanced than dolly mini which is mid journey so mid journey is obviously another um another ai image generation platform i guess you could call it so these are some of the images that i have uh given it prompts for and it has spat out images so those were all loose prompts that i that i gave for all of mine these are all images that are made with the same thing but people are just giving it different prompts and you can actually see what they use so like for this japanese high school girl cool beauty short hair sailor suit anime clear symmetrical face portrait dark atmospheric lighting there's a bunch more tags this ultra realistic photography close-up shot of a mid-century myth green dragon eyes within uh with thin yellow pupil like these oh my god mr bean anime dark atmospheric lighting volumetrics manga style art station black and white line art that is insane like this is a little messed up down there where the neck is but like that's very clearly rowan atkinson that's mr bean it's insane that iai made this oh it's incredible like the the detail is insane it's so damn cool oh my god kermit the frog on the front lines of normandy on d-day and so ai generated images are something that is a gray area in a in a lot of different ways um because basically the way that it works on a on a very basic level is that the ai is being fed a ton of information a ton of information as far as like different photos different drawings different blah blah blah blah so there's a ton of gray area when it comes to this as far as like how these images can be used me and mika and mark and amy went out to went out to dinner last night and we were talking about this specific thing and amy made a really really good point which is like there will be a time where ai makes something that is too similar to something else where like for example like you give it uh you give it a prompt and it just spits out like the mona lisa because you're just giving it a ton of information like that could happen and so you know it's kind of a gray area where it's like you know it's taking reference and it's taking images or information from other so many different images that at some point it could just completely remake something or make something that's close enough to something where it's weird as far as like copyright law goes but anyway i'm getting a little bit ahead of myself here i tweeted shooting prompts at ai to make horrifying slash funny art gimme prompts so basically how it works is mid journey you access it through discord and stuff um and then you just basically have dms with with the bot so let's let's try this ethan nestor trail cam footage so we just do slash imagine ethan nestor trail cam footage and so what will happen it'll start generating the image and you can see it sort of update live so it's only 12 and then the image will get clearer and clearer and clearer and so as you can see from up here it'll give you four different variations and then you can make more variations on a specific variation so it's like okay i like this third one a lot make more variations that are based off of that third image or you can uprez uh or upscale each of these and just get more and more detail i think it would probably have been more like me if i did crank gameplays because i feel like crank gameplays will have more images than ethan nestor but we'll see what happens okay so these are the images which is like weird like this is this isn't a real person these aren't real people you know it's so weird okay so v3 let's make it let's make more of v3 like isn't that odd it's like a weird thing where it's like i recognize that these are people but these aren't real people this computer just made these it's wild dude kind of looks like uh super mega's editor justin nothing but lag all right so now we'll take that we'll uprez u2 and it'll make it even bigger and again the prompt was only ethan nestor trail cam footage which is giving very little detail into what it is and so like the the ai does not have a lot to work with but let's go back to some other prompts that you guys gave me and we will get a little bit more stuff so here's that god let's see what we have here a lot of a lot of trail cam footage i want one that is more detailed let's see what this does it may or may not let me because there's knife and there's certain words that are blocked so like if i were to do like blood or something like that i think knife will work yeah so minion chasing after you with a knife through the back rooms so you can't like do blood you can't do like any like nudity or anything like that okay well god just the preview of this is horrifying oh i don't like how this one is in the back like how the back is facing us it's so ominous okay here it is oh oh see that first one oh oh there's like a tiny man damn that's cool okay let's do let's do v1 we're gonna let it do another variation and let's look through another prompt to see again what are everybody's saying in the back rooms what are back rooms oh this one's pretty good dwayne johnson playing chess with the cookie monster at the dmv that is fairly detailed god here we go oh okay let's do that i'm gonna add some more stuff here atmospheric lighting white tile floors cookie crumbs on table let's do realism yeah let's see that let's do that that gives it a fair amount of stuff to work with this is gonna be harmful look at this though yucky wait it looks like he's like on a zoom call with him what is going on oh man that's the other thing too is i think with specific people it probably has a harder time making them because if you just give it like person playing chess with the cookie monster then it can just kind of make whoever that's pretty good though honestly god oh that first one hold on let's do a v1 god this is oh that bottom one is horrifying let's up res the third one there it is baby yuck what else do you got you got your prompts are too loose give me something give me something real detailed what is the lighting like what are the textures like what art style is it in gimme deets oh yeah people are giving deets tell us i'll be ascending to heaven holding hands with the devil with lighting from the tv wow that's good that's good let's see what let's see what we got god what are some other problems we got this one is also really good pop art jesus that's all so good what the [ __ ] what is that last one there's text tell a song to heaven what the [ __ ] that's horrifying god god that is so [ __ ] horrifying what does that look like tyler hold on hold on opress you too we're gonna uprez version two why does that literally look like [ __ ] tyler what the hell is going on this is horrifying god and like the upside down cross candle what the [ __ ] when it was all blurry it like kind of looked like tyler this is a dope album cover look at the detail though the detail and the fuzz it's [ __ ] horrifying dude what the [ __ ] hey i made this that is god damn wild okay we're doing another one this one could be really good gothic godzilla with blue lightning in the background but he's wearing a black cowboy hat and in the middle of a stormy desert oh this is cool this is cool let's do the third let's do the third god damn that's pretty cool though i like the third the most again so let's uh prez number three damn dude gothic style godzilla with the cowboy hat it's genius i want to just see how good it can make me crank gameplays staring white hair even lighting small smile green sweatshirt let's see what it does i should have given it a style it's just giving me a sweatshirt it's just giving me a green sweatshirt god this looks like matt watson that looks like ninja that's so odd let's do v1 let's see if it'll do no background it's so weird looking and v2 actually as well it's just unsettling oh oh it just looks like matt watson okay i think of all of these either one or three resemble me most oh no oh no these last ones actually could have potential i think this one is the most like me what the opera is for this is weird it's going to be really weird oh i don't like it it's [ __ ] creepy dude it's just it's so creepy like it looks just enough like me that it's extremely unsettling you know where it's like this ai just made a photo of me like ugh it's super creepy super creepy okay well we have to do pop art jesus riding a bicycle at midnight we just we just have to i know i'm doing a bunch of different versions of myself now to just see what it spits out and uh it's not fun god it's like it's too good it's [ __ ] it's [ __ ] dude they made jared leto this is sick that second one hold on let's do a version two that ah how does it do it it's cool and [ __ ] horrifying it's so weird while pop art jesus gets ready justin the wonderful editor i don't know who's editing this video but uh submitted this so let's see what mid journey has for this one this will be the last prompt giving it a lot of data let's see what happens god i'm afraid there's there's two oh i didn't even see drawn by junji ito that's gonna be awful oh it might just be joe bun damn kind of cool kind of dope album cover god okay well we have to do uh this the one on the bottom let's see what we get from that because that one's easily the best he combined it kind of looks like jfk who was turned into a bicycle uh-huh uh-huh well it's number number two we're gonna uprez for sure this is horrifying here we go yep yeah that seemed about right all right friends well i am going to end this here ai can make some really cool [ __ ] and some really weird things and some stuff that makes me extremely uncomfortable but that is that is the future again mid journey is uh it is private currently you have to sort of be like invited in and then there's dolly 2 which is coming out which is also you have to like hop on a waitlist dolly mini though the one that i showed you at the beginning uh it is free and it is just like

xpUkmBQEPhM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpUkmBQEPhM | Video 6 - Stand Up Don't Stand By | [♫] One of the ways that we can all make a difference is through learning how to intervene when we witnesses a situation that makes us uncomfortable or we know is wrong. For example, you're at a party and one of your friends gets drunk and starts to leave with someone. In this situation, what you need to think about is that neither person is in a position to give or accept consent and both may regret their actions later. Now is the time to stand up, and not stand by. Use a strategy that will separate you and your friend from the situation. [♫] [party noises] So do your part and be an ally in the fight to end personal violence. Do your part and get to safety. Stand up, don't stand by. If you witness something that you know is wrong and you aren't in a position to intervene, report it. Failing to act can be just as bad as the act itself. You can contact Campus Safety or call 911. You can also come to see me to talk about your options. | Green River College | UCnnbTacAqb6p6jJcGM2pU5A | 2015-04-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 185 | 946 |

excuse me Teresa can I say this and of course because we want your conversation we want you to engage with us and we've got a new person on today Dawn welcome Dawn so glad to have you with us today thank you Jennifer for coming on as well we see you here so guess where we're on today we are on week 35 called nesso and that means to take up or to lift up and the scripture reading is numbers chapter 4 verse 21 to chapter 7 verse 89. now this week's portion is the longest single portion in the Torah and it contains 176 verses so it's a lot and the reading starts with the continuation of the levite census of the gershonites the cohathites and the marariats and they are the sons of Levi and who and they are responsible for transporting the Tabernacle in the wilderness so the number of Levites that are illegible to transport the Tabernacle was eight thousand five hundred and eighty what a great number to do work and service the Lord and transport that Tabernacle so that Moses also discusses in this portion the Tabernacle duties and we also have the laws of the Sota woman that's the woman suspected of adultery and the Nazarite laws and the portion concludes with the instructions from the kohanan on the Priestly blessing and the offerings with the tribal leaders brought in honor of the Tabernacle inauguration so glennis you're first up today as you take a sip of that drink would you like to pray Us in today oh Heavenly Father we just come before you Lord we give you all the glory and the praise Lord we just lift Teresa up to today Lord as she uh reveals uh the mother of Jesus on this Earth Lord we just thank you Lord for every woman who's here and will listen to it later Lord that um you will bless them Lord bless them and have we will receive Revelation out of this passage today in Jesus name amen amen thank you glennis and that's the thing that we want isn't it we all know about this woman we're going to share on today but we don't want to see if we can glean some more out of the scriptures in the days of ancient Israel after the Torah was given on Mount Sinai in the year 2448 after creation that's AC men and women made a covenant with God to listen and obey his instructions now the majority of women back then they did not read and they did not write yet God did not excuse them from learning listening and obeying his Torah so women we have no excuse if you cannot read or write there's always listening and T and also teaching the children of God's instructions to have a blessed life so we have no excuse don't do we not to be engaged or to busy ourselves practicing and walking in God's righteous instructions which we know as his Torah the first five books of the Bible so our women in the word today is Mary the mother of Jesus and this is part two Mary was Jewish and more than likely she did not read or write yet she followed the ways of God and she and God chose her to be the mother of Jesus Mary was a mother that lived Torah observant and certainly brought up Jesus in the ways of Torah the ways of the word of God now John 1 14 says and the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory the glory of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth Luke 2 41-52 tells that Jesus's parents Mary and Joseph now Jesus is Yeshua I'm using Jesus today but Yeshua in Hebrew but Mary and Joseph went to the Festival of Passover according to custom and on their travels home they realize that their 12 year old son Jesus was not with them this is a day later and so they went back to Jerusalem to fetch him and after three days they found him in the temple courts immersing himself in Torah with the teachers what a nice picture that is for a young man so when Mary asked Jesus why would he cause them to worry he replied didn't he know I had to be in my father's house in other words a be about my father's business now these from what I know are the first recorded words of Jesus in the Bible and as the Son of God he was busy learning and asking questions to the Torah teachers now while scripture says Joseph and Mary did not understand Jesus understood that it was necessary he has a destiny to save Mankind and we know that don't we because we read the Bible so God's Torah is the Eternal Word Free from error free from untruth it is inerrant the psalmist writes in Psalm 119 verse 6 160. all your words are true or Your Righteous laws are Eternal as the mother of Jesus Mary is better known than any other female character in our Bible and after centuries this statement still stands blessed are you among women that's in Luke 1 18 so no other female honored in the world as much as Mary as the mother of Jesus who is our Lord and savior our Messiah and so the Bible tells us in John 1 that Jesus is the Eternal Word of God John 5 31-47 Jesus makes a claims in claims about himself he claims to be the Son of God the one sent by the Father the source of all life spiritual and physical the judge of all the world all history is heading towards a confrontation with him and he is the raiser of the Dead the one who one day will empty the cemeteries on the earth people will list people listened with open mouth amazement as Jesus made these claims many of them asked how do you know he is telling the truth what evidence does he give knowing their minds and hearts Jesus proceeds to give them his credentials he reveals Witnesses three of them who back up his claims this of course was in line with the law Moses said in 1915 Moses said out of the mouth of two or three Witnesses let every word be established because we live in a fallen age when people claim things for themselves we do not know whether to believe them or not because we cannot use we cannot trust everybody can we it would be naive to do so the law prescribes it there must be Witnesses people who will cooperate another's testimony this is what our Lord is doing for these people who are listening to him and the same applies for us today Jesus is Messiah and the Living Word made make flesh born to a young Jewish peasant woman named Mary so what actions show us that Mary was a great woman of faith what would the law of Sota apply to Mary and what is the song of Mary about now Michelle has done a teach on Mary in week 27 tasria and that means she will concede and she has shared Mary's background and the genealogy in Great Lengths and she teaches on the Purity laws and for giving birth and the differences in the Purity times between boys and girls if you want the background on Mary then I would suggest you go back and you watch that video today we are going to head in another Direction about Mary so I won't be touching on that genealogy Etc good morning Pam and thank you for joining us today all right well Jennifer can I get you to read in numbers 4 verse 21 to 23 numbers 4 verse 21 to 23 and Pam could I get you to find Luke chapter 2 verses 1 to 3. and so straight after Jennifer reads numbers 4 21 to 23 Pam If You Could Read Luke 2 verses 1 to 3. all right and I said to Marsha take a census of the descendants of Gershon also by Clans and families count all those between 30 and 50 years old or who will enter the corpse using the work of serving in the tent of the meeting and pan Luke 2 verses 1 to 3. in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the entire inhabited Empire should be taxed this taxation was made when quinarius was governor of Syria and everyone everyone went to his own City to be taxed thank you girls so our link today is through the census so we're linking the senses that was done with the Levites to the senses that we've done that was done in loot to head us into Mary and the birth of Jesus so let's talk about who Caesar Augustus is now his occupation is a military commander and he's the Roman Emperor so Augustus is given a title of the room given that title by the Roman senate in 27 BCE now his birth name was Gaius Octavius he was the nephew and the adopted son and hand-picked successor to Julius Caesar who was founder of the Roman Empire Augustus was Roman Empire from 31 BC to 14 A.D and considered one of the most successful Emperors and his successor was Tiberius Julius Caesar so Octavian was given the name Augustus which means great or venerable venerable meaning worthy of reverence which is an insinuation that he was worthy of worship in 42 BC Julius Caesar was known as divers Julius or lulius which means the Divine Julius this led to his adopted son Augustus or Octavian be known as Divi Elias ophelius and that means the Son of God a title that Augustus embraced and coins were issued by Augustus featuring Caesar's image and inscriptions such as Divine Caesar Son of God so Caesar Augustus brought peace and prosperity to the Roman Empire but he's not the Son of God even though the Romans gave him that position so in many provinces they were governed with a heading home but with some local autonomy the Jews were allowed to maintain their religion and their culture while rulers like Caesars Augustus and Herod antipetus were essentially figureheads the Sanhedrin or National Council still held power over many aspects of daily life so ironically the peace and order that Augustus maintained by his um successes it actually helped with the spread of Christianity because he modernized Rome a little bit and he he made roads and so forth so when Paul was going on his journeys you know it actually helped with modernizing Christianity because the roads were easier for him so the extensive work that made it easy for those that were going to and from going to Sprint the gospel so the Gospel of Luke uses the senses to date the birth of Jesus the gospel of Matthew places the senses in the time of Herod the Great now the timeline of Jesus's birth their historians they have different theories on when Jesus was born and when you go in to investigate it they're all different so we're just going to do an approximation because we don't know exactly but some historians say 3bc or one BC however the most accepted is between four and six BCE is mostly accepted but one Jewish reference to the coming of the Messiah is is a star the coming Messiah has been associated with the appearance of a star these are the words the Pagan you may remember bellam he prophesied while the Jews were encamped in the wilderness in numbers 24 17 he says I see him but not now I behold but not near a star shall be born out of Jacob a scepter shall rise out of Israel so do you remember the story of balak when he was wanting to curse Israel instead Bellum blessed Israel it was after this event that the sages anticipated that messiah's coming would be heralded by a star a star shall appear from the East and on top of it a rod like a fire like a spear the Gentile Nation will claim this star as ours but it is not so rather it pertains to Israel a scripture forecast a star shall come out of Jacob so Luke 2 4-7 tells us that due to the senses Joseph had to return to his ancestral home in Bethlehem and he took with him Mary he was already expecting the baby Jesus to be born Matthew 2 tells us that King Harry was told by his scribes that the prophets had prophesied a ruler would come out of Bethlehem who will Shepherd Israel now why they were in Bethlehem Jesus was born we know the story as the prophet Micah had foretold but you Bethlehem Ephrata through you are small among the thousands of Judah yet out of you will come for me come from me the one who will be ruler over Israel whose Origins and from of old from ancient times so this sense its fourth Joseph and Mary to go to Bethlehem and when you look at it this was augustus's most obviously obvious impact on Biblical history through a census God's instrument to bring the birth of Messiah where the prophets of old had predicted and so and we know that the Jewish people were looking forward to the coming Messiah so Mary as the mother of Jesus in Hebrew her name is Miriam and there are about 20 variations of her name but it actually means trouble sorrow bitter disobedient or rebellious now considering Mary was a pure woman in every way she was not disobedient or rebellious we don't know her like that however you can understand sorrow or trouble as even though she was the mother of Jesus our Messiah she would have experienced great sorrow in witnessing her son being humiliated and crucified to actually understand her suffering we must think of her love also both natural and Supernatural her son whom she she not only loved but in the literal sense of the term she adored since he was her God hard to get your head around isn't it but he was and she worshiped him her grief was not diminished because she understood the reason for the crucifix crucifixion you know that it was for the Jews even the ones who hated Jesus he's chosen people her people and for the Gentiles it was for all Sinners her pain and her grief was not diminished because she understood met so when you think about that and the meaning of her name you can understand the sorrow and the trouble and the anxiety and all those things that it would have caused her so Mary did have other children as well she had Josephus James Simon Judas and several sisters I don't know exactly how many but it says several sisters so there's at least two she was born 18 BCE and died after 33 A.D Mary was Jewish and from the tribe of Judah and the line of David she was a cousin of Elizabeth wife of the priest of Zachariah sorry and who herself was the lineage of of Aaron so if you go back to Michelle's video she goes through the whole genealogy but you can look at that in Luke 1 5 or 1 36 as well so Mary resided in Nazareth in Galilee and she was betrothed to Joseph wasn't she and she what who is from the House of David and Nazarene Nazareth at that time had a population of about 400 people so it wasn't huge now during a betrothal the first stage of the Jewish marriage like we have engagement today we have engagement then we have marriage so they had a betrothal the angel Gabriel announced to her that she was to become the mother of the promised Messiah and we're going to read that so glennis would you like to start with um Luke 1 26-28 we're going to read and we're going to go through about with this and look at Mary's face 26-28 it's just the side thing is anyone seen the Galilean wedding yes yes that's yeah and that's where yeah Jesus yeah the end times and all that sort of stuff it's really really good if you've got the link to it um you might want to put it up in the chat bar so that the girls can find it yeah yeah yeah because it's different to other Jewish yeah um where are we 126 to 28 and in the six months of her pregnancy the angel Gabriel was sent down from God to a city of Galilee by the name of Nazareth to a virgin betrothed to a man by the name of Joseph out of the house of David and the name of the Virgin was Miriam and when he came to her he said hail highly favored one the Lord is with you so recalls that Mary saw the angel Gabriel she was troubled at him he's saying and considered what manner of greeting this was now Gabriel tells her not to be afraid and she has found favor with God she she shall conceive and bring forth a son and call him Jesus he then says he shall be great and called the son of the highest of God and God will give him the Throne of David of his father David he will reign over the house of Jacob forever and there'll be no end to his kingdom she says how I do not know a man now some of your Bibles may say that she was a virgin but we're going to say today I do not know a man because she didn't she was pure so in Luke 1 35 to 37 and the angel answered and said to her the holy spirit will come upon you and the power of the highest will overshadow you therefore also that the Holy One who is to be born may be called the son of God now indeed Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age and is now in the six months and for who she was called Baron for with God nothing will be impossible with that last line there is something different in your Bible have you got a different line there for God I've got for with God nothing is impossible and that's in the new Kings James version but when I was looking at this line there were some different texts has anyone got different from that what verse was it sorry verse 37. in Luke 1 37. I just got the Lord well another version that I did see was no word of God will ever fail which is true too but I really liked that no word of God will ever fail so Mary is in a very vulnerable position isn't she do you know that she is about 12 to 15 years of age which is the a the marital age in ancient Israel so she's young and she's not yet married she's betrothed can you imagine giving your daughter away from Marriage at 12 to 15. went to in today's time Norma would you have given Elizabeth away at that age at times gladly I would have I find that very funny and I think that that is quite a standard answer for mother because that at that age you know in the secular world if they're not coming under the instructions of God and they're you know they're going to school and things like that they do test their parents they become testy I know when I was that age I learned to lie I learned to do things that you know definitely was against my mother's wishes and definitely in Disobedience to her not that I understood the instructions of God at that time but one of the things I did not understand was obedience obey your parents so here we are we've got this 12 to 15 year old woman betrothed to Joseph we don't know his age we're assuming he might be a little bit older but we don't know and so here she is she's seeing this Angel she's gonna be pregnant and she's not yet married what are some of the thoughts you think that would be going through her mind you know what does this angel look like for starters you know an angel comes have you seen an angel before have you have Pam did it look like how Angel the arch Abel Gabrielle um this Angel was on guard at the corner of the um at the seating he was standing in attention but not rigid attention and he was guarding the pastor as the pastor was speaking and um he's about seven foot tall and I I guess he had wings but they were closed and he was all in white well that's amazing I've never seen an angel myself I've actually seen a picture once that was going around where a a man in Africa a pastor was pastoring and like you saw he was this angel or this transfigured person was standing next to the pastor so I remember something like that but let's have a look at what this Angel looked like um Eurasia I I just kind of just add something or it's a little bit of a side step but I'm with my other Bible study from Hobart we're studying Daniel and of course uh the angel Gabrielle um spoke to Daniel so I I find that really interesting um why am I that interesting too do you want a little bible there can you go to Daniel chapter 10 verse 5. uh you want me to change Daniel yes please because that is so good because I was leading into Daniel chapter 10 verse 5. yeah I would like you to share about what this Angel looked like sure okay um General 10 verse 5 he raised me to my hands and knees and then said Daniel your God thinks highly of you he has sent you stand up and pay close attention is this chapter 10 verse 5 yep chat oh I think about it verse 10. um Daniel 10 start at five and finish at 12. when I looked up and saw someone dressed in linen and wearing a solid gold belt his body was like a precious stone his face was lightning his face like flaming prayers his arms and legs like polish bronze and his voice at the Roar of a crowd um although the people who were with me didn't see the vision they became Prof frightened that they scattered yeah that's pretty I wonder what the word Stone means or just as a precious stone perhaps Barrel green or green yeah yeah this is no ordinary figure standing in front of her is it and you know this Angel says to Daniel he says Daniel do not fear you know from the first day your heart to understand and you've humbled yourself before God so because Daniel was trembling the angel says to her do not fear so now bring it back to Mary you know he comes presents himself in front of Mary and she would be trembling she would be scared because she's wondering who is this this is a message from God and so you know she's human like you and I now my brain would be doing cartwheels and I know that my knees would be shaking and I'd be thinking a lot of things like how is this happening I haven't yet known a man you know this is I know this is God because when an angel speaks like that that there's something Supernatural that happens the purity of the message from God goes straight into the heart into the soul doesn't it so we know it's from the holy spirit of God we've all had those experiences when someone says something you know that there's an anointing on that to receive it from God it's such a purity of words coming and so this is what's happening to Mary isn't it and you know what does she do she says she says this is an amazing this is the 12 to 15 year old girl going through this trying to work out what's happening all at once and she says I am the Lord's servant Mary Ann said may your words to me be fulfilled and then the angel left to what a response I'm not sure I would have said that she had such faith that she could trust God on his word Mary's answer to Gabriel was the perfect answer wasn't it you know I'm not sure I would have answered that but she she was offered an amazing opportunity to serve God through birthing his son and then looking after him as his mother her answer is yes Let It Be according to your word so I'm thinking about the consequences um outside of that what would have been the consequences of a woman being pregnant and unmarried what are the consequences of that girls back in that time she would have been shunned from society because you had that 12-month period you waited and you're supposed to be pure yeah went to another saying where have you been and worse than that she could have been dragged out and stoned couldn't she have because that's what they did for uh fornification back in those days you know when you were especially and not only that she was probably thinking how what am I gonna tell my family what am I gonna tell Joseph have you got something to say Norma I was going to ask if you knew anything about her parents because that would be one of the hardest things to tell her mother and father absolutely now Michelle has touched on just her father through the line of Luke they say that Matthew genealogy is the line of um Joseph and the Luke genealogy is the line of Mary and they say that Joseph's father was Hallie and so I don't know who her mother is it would be lovely to have all that background on Mary but we don't have it so if you go back to that video you can have a look at it but certainly go through do a genealogy and you can see Matthew genealogy and loot genealogy and you can see that um Pally is the father of Joseph and then there's situations on um Joseph uh having Joseph's father having two wives and all those sorts of things it's quite a deep investigation and we have discussed that um some I don't know whether it was on the Torah portion or somewhere but we've gone through different situations on discussing that but no Norma I don't have that today but go back and listen to Michelle's and you'll get a little bit there so that's what I want to do about this Angel you know he's an archangel and you know Arc means first or chief and Angelos means messenger this is in Greek so the Archangel Herald envisions messenger of God one of the angels of a higher Rack in fact in Revelation 8 2 it says that there's eight uh sorry seven seven angels here's Pat Pam's naughty sorry thanks for going we're picking seven not eight the only ones that we know the name of is Gabrielle Michael and um Raphael so yes I have a look at Revelation 8 2 and it tells about the seven trumpets were given to those seven angels so Gabriel tells Mary that she's been favored by God he's chosen you to have a baby without knowing a man and then he tells her how the holy spirit will come on you now the Hebrew word ruak is translated in three ways the wind breath or Spirit depending on the context and the Usage Now the Hebrew word Rua sorry Rua Allah him is the spirit of God and it literally means breath or wind of God so this is what's going to come upon Mary it's going to be a supernatural transference isn't it that God's going to impregnate her with Messiah from the beginning of inflammation of time the Holy Spirit was involved Genesis 1 2 records the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters in job this he says the spirit of God has made me the breath of the almighty gives me life that's job 33 4 and he recognizes also that by his Spirit he adorned the heavens and we all know that famous person Zechariah 4 6 that not by might nor by power but by his spirit so Mary accepted the fact that she's going to conceive the Savior wow the savior of mankind miraculously and maybe not even fully understanding the holy spirit because being Jewish and Torah observant she would have been you know they would have been going to the pilgrim festivals they would have been doing that they would have been following the instructions of God and they would have been doing everything that God or you know wanted them to do so maybe and they would have heard all the stories of of the you know the Exodus they would have heard all of these stories so they would have not she would have known a lot about God and about her people and about the miraculous things that God had done and so maybe she understood that by God's spirit the miraculous was done maybe she had an understanding of the holy spirit in that sense now when judges 6 I love this story and Angel appears to Gideon and the and he says the Lord is with you mighty man of Ella now Gideon starts his conversation with why Lord and where are the Miracles of our fathers speak of doesn't it he doesn't really he just says why Lord and where are all those Miracles that I've heard of and he questions God and then he says don't choose me I am the weakest in my clan God however leads him step by step and he even allows Gideon to test him and you know Gideon then starts gaining confidence that God chose him and that God was going to use him to deliver Israel that God was asking Gideon to partner with him to fulfill a plan that God had so the point here is the angel came to Mary and to Gideon with a purpose for them to participate in God's plan now Gideon was not willing at first was he and he did not trust the call at first but eventually after testing God he got on board and the story ends well it's a great story and it's miraculous story as well Mary said yes let it be so she trusted God to make it happen and whatever consequences that would come her way God would take care of the details I find that absolutely a woman of faith and young woman of faith all of those things all of those cares and anxieties that our minds would think of that she just thought okay Lord this is what you're saying I have felt it that this is from you let it be so and that can happen to us today girls I know that some things that when God tells us or he instructs us we feel it and we have all these things how can it be what's going to happen but if God says it then God's Gonna deliver it and God's going to get the credit where just his hands and feet and mouthpieces aren't we to do it like Mary so she's processed a lot so just looking at Mary at the moment we've discussed her about a little bit what are some of the character traits that you see in Mary you know some of the positive character traits I don't see any negative but what are some of the like me for example I look at her humility I look at that she's such a one of humility and humble enough to submit to the will of God from the you know from the beginning it's not going to be an easy course for her but what are some other things that you can look at Mary and see about her when she loved the Lord so much that she didn't even question why me which probably we would say well well why me Lord plenty of other people official and that's yes Norma oh you're on mute Norma I think obedience to her parents I think Joseph was chosen for her it wasn't a love match yes and for a 14 year old that would be a big thing wouldn't it yes it is you know and that's another Point as well you know in those days the parents did choose the partners for their you know for their young girls and their young their sons their sons and daughters and so thank you yes she is obedient she respected her parents enough to say well yes I will marry this man Joseph um I'm not quite sure if my mother had to pick someone from me that I would go down that path but you know what when you're walking in the ways of God I think it's a great thing for parents to find a partner for their children and and to be prayerful about it yes Dawn um I'm I'm actually just looking and taking inspiration back from Daniel 10. um if you don't mind it might just read that uh Verse 18 and 19 the angel touched me Daniel the second time and said don't be frightened God thinks highly of you and he intends this for your good so be brave and strong and I think um if God personally had spoken to me as he spoke to Mary one presume she also spoke to Mary in the same way through the Angel um sort of divine strength isn't it to to follow the path that he's put her on that he's put her on yeah yeah absolutely it wasn't symmetric human quality is God inspired her yeah so yeah he certainly did so if he said it then he also gave her everything to walk it supernaturally yes Pam I think it's no small um feat or um thing that she's in the lineage of David I feel that she would have known her lineage um and she would have known uh perhaps a responsibility I think they would have been wholly and separate in their generation having their cousin as Zachariah in the lineage of the zadok um priesthood against the pharisynical priesthood I think there's a a myriad of uh attributes around her that she would have had an idea of who she was and I absolutely agree with everything you've said there her culture and her lineage she would have been so protected in that with her family and they would have been telling her who's she is and what line she comes from so there's an expectation of responsibility and countability not just love and obedience but the responsibility and the accountability of her life and her Destiny as well so that's a great point that you've brought up there's so much in this scriptures that you know we can bring out for Mary because you know she was one that had a destiny with God and she knew it as a 12 or 15 year old girl she was probably a lot more mature because she had that very Foundation of God's words she had that very love of God and that culture in her family and Community as well and that's that does help you to be strong in self and so when the holy spirit of God has come upon her to impregnate her the hot the everything that she needs to go through pregnancy and go through the mothering and go through the marriage with Joseph it was given to her as well it's like a transference of that you know that Supernatural strength that happens and it's like our life today you know once we've accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior and we believe and then God calls us there is an ability that comes with it you know our minds may think how but then when we sit with God and wait on God things happen he directs our path his word directs us doesn't it so let's go to Matthew Pam would you like to read Matthew Matthew one verses 19 to 21. 19. Joseph her husband being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her planned to release her privately from their engagement take notice however after he had resolved to do this an angel of the Lord appeared to him by way of a dream saying Joseph son of David do not be afraid to take Miriam as your wife because the child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit wow now this would have really been hard for Joseph you know do you you know some of us girls were actually all of us you know are a little bit of age now but do you remember you know I was born in the 60s but in the 60s 50s 40s do you know how scandalous it would be if a woman was unmarried and Pregnant and back in those days you know they were caught illegitimate unfortunately and the woman deemed unfit to mother and these young women back then were told that they could best serve society and themselves if they relinquish the child to adoption they could and then they could just go and get on with their lives that's what happened back then you know and they and and this book great shame to the family back then and so you know fast forward it to now our culture is so different it's so immoral you know women are falling pregnant outside of marriage and they they're not choosing adoption but abortion so our times have changed so much women we've got a lot of work to do to disciple these young women and to get them into the things of God to realize their value and also to try to stay in the confines that God has given us about marriage and babies and all those sorts of things yes glennis just got a question um Mary and that came from the line of Judah didn't they yes yeah and Elizabeth and that came from the Levites didn't they how could they be cousins was Elizabeth's mother from Judah I did a little uh search on that myself and came up with either of our first cousins or third cover uh fourth cousins or something along those lines but a relative in any sense anyway but Elizabeth is from the line of Aaron and Zachariah is from the line of the levitical priesthood so I had I didn't get right into that but I think that it's if that's a question because I can't completely answer it maybe you could find that for me and come back to me because I do know that that that's all I research at that time because I think Michelle touched on it in last year's uh video as well glennis and I think you'll get your answer there the comment Theresa yes even just in my mother's generation so my dad's 95. so when my mum was born her mum was 40 something and her and mum's older sister was already 20. and mum's older sister moved to Sydney for about two years while her own mum had a true newborn baby for the fear that the community thought it was hers and this is in this is in 1928 so so that whole culture was still pre-World War II and we've come into post-world War II where we've just Fallen away from these values we have wow thank you Pat we have fallen so far away we've got a big job to do women we love our women and we you know that's why it's good that we don't just learn all of this and you know we find ways to connect with women we find ways to talk to them and sometimes it's not even speaking the word of God because people don't know how much you don't care how much you know until they know how much you care and sometimes it's just coming around these women you know especially when you uh you know see single women that are pregnant and that sort of thing it's good for us to go and to be mothers around them and spiritual mothers and help them not judge them but help them so that you know step by step we can get one new disciple another new disciple and start to teach the kingdom of God to our women it just takes one just takes one and the fruit of that can be amazing you know someone spoke to me so I understand what that's like when someone speaks to you about Womanhood you know I didn't have all the understandings of that until late in life unfortunately so we've got a job to do girls so here's Joseph can I just say um it's just it's a bit of Energizer but a lot of single mothers uh aren't single by accident there's a lot of single parents that's planned a lot be it because of their of age and if they don't do it now they never will and um or um the financial gain I know when I worked as a youth worker of Aboriginal girls that had children because it meant that there they could get money from the government as a single I know of another girl who was a rough girl who also um or you know had hard time back and she just wanted to have a baby because that she had something of her own so you know there's there's kind of other reasons it's not all just by Era you know because I hear some of these Hollywood people even doing things like that going out at the movies yeah but at least they can afford it you know I mean you're talking about people who are a destitute that are having babies so that they can get a bit of money for it you know and um all sorts of reasons it just shows you how far we've Fallen doesn't it and how we don't know the word of God and how we can set our own moral standards you know God loves women he cares for us women even with the Laura Sota that got that's in our portion this week it's in our actual portion it's actually a law that when you look at it with the right lens it's actually a protection for God's women do you know the Laura Soto let's have a look at it in brief we're oh we've only got 10 minutes let's do it quickly so when a husband accuses his wife of adultery or a spirit of jealousy comes on him and she's under suspicion the Bible prescribes the ritual of Sota to verify the husband's claim now the trial by bitter Waters will establish her guilt or her innocence now if we're looking at it with the right lens okay the husband can't just throw an accusation out there he's got to have good reason to suspect that his wife has done something that she shouldn't have or infidelity so this the the mixture is called the bitter purse causing Waters and this contains the oath and the curses that accompany it and ultimately it will determine the woman's fate if the husband thinks she's committed adultery so firstly once a woman is worn by her husband to stay away from a certain man she is considered suspect if she then is seen secluding with that man she's taken to trial if she does not confess at thrall she undergoes the sotar ritual now this is a little bit humiliating for a woman it really is and she's forced to drink the bitter Waters but according to the text if she is guilty the waters will cause horrible symptoms and ultimately death um chapter 5 verse one it says as the water probes her it probes him the adulterer as well so and he gets the same penalty as what she does so this whole Sota experience the visual Waters is there for the protection of the woman and you know the husband number he can't just come and say well my husband my wife's doing that he's got to have good reason because they go to trial it's a supernatural trial in the in the temple and it's before God so it's sort of there to deter the husband away from throwing out false accusations in the first place but if she has committed infidelity both of them are going to die once she takes a bit of waters so it is like a deterrent for both men and women in itself now Sota is the notes full it it's derived from the word folly and as the guilty woman you know she did not consider the results of her conduct conduct sufficiently did she so if she had been wise like Mary and had and had the fear of Hashem she would have desisted she would not have gone there at all so let me ask you a question we've had a little bit on Sota would the law of Sota apply to Mary unless her husband accuses her and she's not married so she can be accused by her husband very good I don't know that's exactly right this is not applied to Mary now we know that God intervene the angel came to Joseph and said you know this has happened I've done this you know please look after Mary but see this law does not apply to Mary because you have to be married and so they were only betrothed so the legalities of it do not apply to Mary good to know so so does not apply to women that are betrayed only if you're married and applies to divorced women not to divorce women you know in the leveright marriage and things like that there's a whole teaching on it um in if you want to go into the Jewish Encyclopedia of woman and type in Sota and you can have a look at all the um the rules and legalities of Sota oh my gosh we are traveling oh we've got five minutes all right now what I wanted to touch on we know that the Holy Spirit came on Mary it was the holy spirit of God we know that the the spirit of Prophecy came on Elizabeth and Mary we haven't got into the song of Mary we might have to have a part three next year because the song of Mary's this big as well so we haven't got their girls but that Spirit of Prophecy as we know there are different kinds of gifts but the Same Spirit distributes them there are different kinds of service but the same Lord there are different kinds of working but in every one of them it is the same God at work so you know we are giving gifts and the gifts of Prophecy is one and you can read that in one Corinthians 12. all right let's we're not going to do the song of Mary today girls I apologize that we're not going to get there we've got a great um teaching on that but we've got five minutes four minutes left let's have a look at what we're going to do let's give me two seconds and I'll work out where we're gonna go dear Jesus send me in the right direction all right the last Glimpse we have of Mary is quite a heartwarming one because she is seeing she's known to be in the upper room waiting you know praying with the disciples you know this is after the death of her son Jesus and then she goes you know later on she's waiting because Jesus has said that you know wait wait and so they then heading to Jerusalem and they're waiting what are they waiting for we're there waiting for the power of the Holy Spirit to be baptized they probably didn't recognize the fullness of what that was going to be but at this time we are actually in the process of counting the Omar this is an anniversary that's coming up on this Thursday at Sun Sundown that it's going to be day 50. if you want to know about the Omar go to Pastor Greg's teaching on it he's got two parts of it in last year's Torah portion you can learn all about the Omar and you can learn about the counting of the Omar but it is the anniversary when the the Torah or the Ten Commandments was given to Moses given to the people on Mount Sinai it's an anniversary there was like tongues of fire it was all happening there we don't have time to go into all of it but guess what it's the anniversary coming this Thursday and so Mary was there waiting to be baptized in the power of the Holy Spirit we are also coming to the anniversary this Thursday night we have an expectation that we can ask God for gifts or full capacity or for anything to fulfill the call and our lives the destiny that he has placed for us it's not about giving gifts or money or anything like that you may need money to fulfill your destiny but it's about working in the power of the Holy Spirit working in the wisdom of God and the revelation of God to fulfill our Destinies and Mary did she was baptized in the power of the Holy Spirit and she would have gone forth and made disciples she was a new creation in God and so girls we're gonna have to finish up on that I am sorry we didn't get to the song of Mary today but I had so enjoyed the engagement today and what we're learning about we've got a couple of minutes who wants to talk about anything I just want to I suppose it's a cat in a canary but uh just quickly I just think what would Mary's options have been really you know well she if she was tired she was pregnant she had really no options you know there wasn't a social security there wasn't you know she could have run away but um you know you do have a lot of options but I'm not not detracting you know everything and I think the fact that her lineage was there and that expectation would have given her quite a lot of comfort and I think she was courageous She haven't mentioned but um yeah I I don't think she had a lot of options I think I think she would have gone that's why she want went to Elizabeth because she'd heard that he was going to have the great you know the this man John you know in the wilderness and that and she would have gone over there to be reassured because she had the same experience yeah they miraculous yeah perception yes yes and and we have to give credit to Joseph now he is a godly man and he was ready to dismiss her quietly well he would not have let her go somewhere destitute onto the street he would have known somewhere that that Mary would have been looked after with this baby and who knows what he would have been doing in the background and if he wasn't if he wasn't alive to see at the end um he would have missed all the a lot of the Milestones of his of Jesus because you don't sort of see them much in the in the background yeah I agree and I do think you know Joseph was a man of God so he was wanting to do something as Pam mentioned in the confines of Torah in the confines of word of God as well there was a specialness about this man being a righteous man and he was wanting to look after her and protect her so we must bring that up as well and talking about men we had fantastic Pastor Greek this week on Saturday morning at 9 30 to 11 o'clock teaching on the Torah portion so come and join us for that and girls because we have the anniversary of Pentecost Shabba what which is what the Hebrews would call it is on this Thursday night there will be no haftura this Friday so don't go on to look for haftra this Friday at 12 30 to 1 30. it's a break because we've got the celebrations of Pentecost this Thursday night all right so we will see you on Saturday morning with our famous fantastic Pastor Greg on the tour report and Bill have a great day today come and enjoy our Pentecost with us too if you're coming to Kingdom Church we're going to eat cheesecake and dairy and color bread so God bless you girls thank you for your time it's been great God bless you Theresa thank you very much | Good News For Israel | UCGwUyhbaQv6_91wfAysvddQ | 2023-05-23 | Creative Commons

bmBD-yRjSr8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmBD-yRjSr8 | QSI National Train Show Atlanta | July 2013 | Model Railroad Hobbyist | TrainMasters TV | so i'm here with eric from tony's trains and qsi so eric what have you got to show us well today we're demonstrating the new qsi titan decoder and we've been working on new software to load into the decoder that we call q3 emulation technology and what we're trying to do is bring digital command control to the next generation of operating like the prototype that sounds cool good so what kind of things can you do well what we can do is we can have this locomotive be manipulated by any type of cad control in this instance an nce hand controller and what we're trying to do is have this locomotive operate like the real thing so you can what we're trying to do is scale the physics down of what what a real railroad engine would do so it can take off slowly quickly depending upon the load that you have behind it so for instance i have this locomotive program just to kind of creep along at a slow speed and i'm just going to move forward a little bit and you're going to hear the engine rpm hopefully idle up over the crowd noise here but you're going to see it gradually take off and then you're going to see it gradually slow down so let's just take a quick look at that so right now i've gone up about two speed notches nice and then i'm just going to simply slow down and apply the brakes very nice now part of the software features of what we're loading into this locomotive not only allow me to change the dynamics of the train but we can also change all of the sound variables that go into this locomotive so for instance you can control the overall you control all of your various controls using these sliders so it's just simply a simple mouse click use and you can just move things back and forth this is the screen that controls your uh overall sound so right now i'm just turning the overall volume of the locomotive down and then i'll just reset it back up to its max okay on this particular page you also get your automatic timeouts i can also uh manipulate doppler effects for my horn uh a different type of bell actuator sound etc etc this next screen controls the volumes for all of the locomotive sounds and we have over 30 different sounds on this decoder using this software so again slider control this particular locomotive is using has two prime movers so i can make one prime mover just a little bit quieter okay so i'm just i can change the volume of the second prime mover or the first prime mover and again i can scroll down i can control air dryer volumes alternate horn the list goes on we have 30 different over 30 different sounds very nice so as an engineer background right you told us earlier that you have an engineer background so then that is something that the user can do to actually make it feel like they're running a real locomotive more than a model yes what we're trying to do is make it easier for the user to match up the movement of the locomotive to the sounds of the locomotive so it really becomes almost like the real thing that's very nice so just to kind of give you an example of the ability to change things joe so on this particular page because this is a stereo decoder it's got two speakers located one in the front one in the rear i can change the balance of the horn so it comes out in the front of the locomotive i can also add more bell to the front of the locomotive and then on my prime movers i'm going to take my front engine and move it to the front and i'm going to take my rear engine and locate it more towards the rear i can also do that for all 30 sounds amazing let's go to uh when uh let's say for example i idle up to speed step 30 i can have the locomotive be a little bit louder underneath the mid rpm volume i can then when i'm at full maximum rpm i'm going to have maximum volume i can then go in and do the same thing for the exhaust so on my idle exhaust if the locomotive is just standing there or coasting i can turn that idle way down for if the locomotive is experiencing a medium amount of force on it i can have that exhaust turned up and again on max rpm we also have labored sound so as there's more let's say you're you're carrying a heavy train just from idle turning it down but then let's say when the locomotive first starts to pull on that train i'm gonna have it all the way up and then maybe in a coasting but at a high speed i can turn that exhaust down so really the combinations are infinite for the user to change to his own taste and desire yeah i'm sitting here thinking i've found a new hobby well i found that the more i play with it the more i learn and the more i learn the more i play with it yeah going away from the sounds for a minute we make it really easy to change both the acceleration and deceleration rates now what i use what i usually do is i save cv three and four from when i'm actually operating the locomotive and i set cv 23 and 24 before i operate meaning cv 23 and 24 will act as acceleration rates for when the locomotive is light and then using my cab held momentum button i can change the acceleration deceleration rates of three and four for when i'm out on the main so as the tonnage of my train changes up and down i can use those this button automatically and change and route it's really really uh functional and easy to use we also offer speed tables you can create your own consisting buttons for when you run locomotives and com and consist and then really an outstanding feature that we do is is you can start assigning all different functions to every part of your handheld and i'm just going to pull down a small drop down so for instance function one i can have it control all of these items from doppler to dynamic flange breaks front marker grade crossing any number of combinations and that's strictly forward and reverse we haven't even gotten into neutral wow so again it's it's a powerful program and it really lets the user design his locomotive to how he wants to set it up very nice i don't know how many people have talked to their rail fans and they say but i can't get the model to sound like the real thing like i remember i think that this particular sound file that we have in this locomotive the ge 16 fdl is superb my own experience running the dash 8 which use this locomotive or this locomotive engine i think is a dead ringer excellent excellent well thank you very much eric joe a pleasure train masters tv coming this fall only from model

t2jLUSr5FkI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2jLUSr5FkI | ROV Hercules Dive NA135 H1898 17 of 32 2021 12 12 06 51 21 610 UTC 63 | because it didn't look just like traditional sediment you know it might not be manganese coating something else might be making it black because we do see some of those dead stalks look like they're black too right that's true all right yeah someone in the chat has said we've also seen dead sponge skeletons that are darkly colored nice [Music] are you sure you're not uh i don't know look at this look there's no screen i'm not cheating i'm not cheating with this like a secret biology degree up there what you're not telling no i've never taken biology past high school all right jake you want to come up and i'm going to zoom i've just seen thousands of hours with experts telling me what everything is it's one way to learn yeah we had a viewer asking about what depth we are currently at looks like we're at 2884 meters uh 2467. oh okay i'm not sure where you can get the wrong number [Music] and just a question for you does the arm control give you any force feedback to know if you're against a hard surface we do not use force feedback on our nip it is an option but we disable it so um a lot of well all that we sample we have to visually see how it deforms and that will give us a good indicator of how much pressure we're exerting on it with the grip forces etc so it's all visually driven for us yeah for like for large objects like the like rocks you can tell when like the vehicle moves how much how much force you're applying to it explain a bit of catch up here this is what it would look like if we went 0.6 knots all the time honey i think it's your ship house that's frozen that lisa's looking at what me your depth on ship house is wrong i think it got frozen where on this here yeah see it's two eight eight four that's what i was looking at oh there it is now it's updated uh oh last 15 minutes we want this why isn't this every second i don't know now it just updated now it says 24 but it should be should be every second and adam a question these are all uh volcanic rocks correct yeah that's right all the dark stuff other than dead sponges are volcanic rocks and the light stuff is uh pelagic sediment so that's the shells and tests of dead animals that fall down from the upper ocean okay yeah there you go it's on it's now to be every second okay i don't know how that turned off i don't use that thing it's way over there the ship house data is available all through our website from what i understand i haven't tried looking at it from our live website but you can click on more data um you can get a whole bunch more of the um metadata that we're looking at here in the van and the viewer's asking about the two green laser dots those are to help assess the size of an object object because they are 10 centimeters apart why are they green are not red they used to be red green's more soothing yeah we used to have red ones but then they dissipate a lot quicker yeah it counts like a paw print so water absorbs the red color frequencies in the light yeah and that's why as we uh as we get closer to the bottom you'll see that the whites look white and that kind of stuff but as we pull further away or if you look at the uh argus camera uh that's up quite a ways uh that everything seems to be blue and that's just because the water naturally filters out the red yeah now our lasers are 500 532 nanometer lasers go ahead and fish on in there please dave center standard green color you guys looking at the worm trail is that what you're going to know yeah that's the cucumber poop oh sure that's worms or if that's looks like excrement i don't know i think it's the second one yeah all right look at that um brown patch to the just the left of this same rock brown patch yeah uh oh yeah is that all dead dead sponge that was kind of like a whole test yeah all right i think we're good all right all right please we have a viewer asking about finding new species on these exploratory dives and one of the cool things about this organization is that we collaborate with scientists all over the world and we have a science chat and so we are collecting specimens that scientists are interested in so it's a great chance that we have probably collected something that's either due to science or is yet unnamed if there's a question on that i missed it because i was typing notes sorry lisa sorry i think it was just a statement it was a statement okay just asking about asking about how likely it is that we might find new species oh oh quite that's a question yeah i mean almost anywhere you go in the deep sea you have a chance to find new species and especially so in places that haven't been visited before and especially at you know greater depths where where there's just fewer observations what i understand it takes many years to conclusively state whether it's new or not though can you explain a little bit about the levels of the ocean or one of our viewers with different depths yeah so um the upper ocean the shallowest levels are kind of dictated by how much light penetrates and let's see the names of the the mesophotic zones above that the photic zone the mesophotic zone is where light levels start to get lower than the uh bathtub zone followed by the abyssal and hadel xero pelagic zone somewhere in there as well yeah somewhere in there yeah and so these are defined by depth ranges and oftentimes you see organisms that are adapted to live in in one or some of those zones with the adaptations you know targeted towards living in very low light conditions or colder water or higher pressures and some organisms migrate between the zones especially in the upper ocean where those migrations are often triggered by changing light levels in the ocean so light levels are low some animals will will come up when they're less likely to be predated and go down when when light levels are high yeah we generally define the layers based on amount of light the amount of the temperature and then the amount of salt salinity and that ties into the next question which asks if there are seasonal variations at these in these layers um i think the layers are kind of defined or or stay pretty static in terms of their definitions i know in different oceans the amount of stratification you know how much difference there is in say the salinity uh is different so in colder polar oceans there's less stratification than here in the kind of equatorial regions and pushing their center screen please dave this is a different coloration it seems to be more active too yeah it does it is maybe it's just a thruster active activity yeah oh there it goes it's very full it doesn't leave much the imagination does it that looks like i'm not relying on steve for this one okay hansen no theria oh very nice i don't know that's true or not very nice yeah don't uh don't call the bank on that but using the noaa kind of database with pictures of each of these and come forward so flattened out here which matches our bathy generally slightly upslope and after the end of this move we will change our course to one four zero one four zero reg that'll take us more towards waypoint seven and it'll gradually get steeper does high pack um kind of calculate slope or is that just kind of eyeballing it uh yeah we have a slope layer in here that we could use but uh usually i just i prefer that just looking at the these are 10 meter contours 10 meter depth contours yeah how tight they are it just seems so it's just relative there will be but we have empirical slope data based on the resolution of the bathroom that we have but typically once we approach those areas it won't necessarily reflect that just due to like terrain and whatnot pretty that was really nice that way is that a singer or sinjid yeah it does appear that something below it a little blobbish yeah you guys are lucky that i have established the current database because before that it was a lot of that one's pink this one's blobby i think i'm still at that status if you would like to know if you think the light scares away some of the species since they live in darkness uh you know i'm channeling megan who had a monologue on this earlier that there's no evidence that it harms them that it's probably more like when someone shines a flashlight in your eyes and it kind of stuns you a lot of these animals you know don't have great vision they might be able to sense light and dark but they seem to recover after getting a little startled by by the light but without the light uh we'd have a lot of trouble working our way around this uh seamount sarah there's the slope map i just put up but you can see it matches the contours because they're both derived from the same data set thank you so the cooler colors are less slope and the hotter colors are steeper one of our scientists sure had a nice statement about the hall of thurian that we just saw that he thinks they're awesome to watch eat they take just take little fistfuls of sediment in each tentacle and just nom it down oh that's cool looks like maybe these corals are getting a little bigger as we go up so yeah branch here if you were asking if we ever come across something that shouldn't be here and i would say marine debris for sure but in terms of living organisms one again one of the cool things is that we have scientists tuning in from around the world and weighing in on our science chat and if they see something that might be a new depth record for that organism they may ask us to collect it for them there's a nice purple hall thorium see if i can identify that thing do it there's a little mushroom coral next to it oh yeah all right dave all you and the masters at the masters oh whatever i said the last one was this one looks just like it's kind of mesmerizing to watch the gelatinous layer yeah color so beautiful yeah how do holotherians reproduce uh i'm gonna have to ask google on that one that's okay i thought that there's no line to that [Laughter] very carefully slowly really interesting sponge piece sexual and asexual reproduction dave you can do a partial as we go by this guy thank you yeah what is that oh it looks like wood hollow sponge i don't remember seeing a sponge that looks anything like that yeah could be wood and then he's on wood has that little knobbler bit there lovely yeah yeah all right fuller in there please stay kind of look like dried out cactuses desert yeah yeah you have a question for the front row how are you navigating the ocean floor do you use data from the top side of the ship or you have on board radar or what i'll take that one adam could do it um yeah so we have let me just call in on a move too so we keep moving one second uh so we the ship has gps that you may be familiar with so satellite time of flight using multiples to triangulate your position but gps doesn't work underwater so we have to pair that with something that helps us locate where the vehicles are so we use acoustics sound travels well through water so um we have a usbl acoustic positioning it stands for ultra short baseline the baseline being how close together the transducers are that uh triangulate positioning so you have a unit that has a few transducers in it that can or it's essentially listening listening to sound that's emitted and we are able to because we have tethered vehicles we send an electrical trigger pulse down to both vehicles that tell transponder beacons which are basically talkers uh on either vehicle to send an acoustic pulse at a certain time so we're constantly telling them send a pulse send a pulse and a pulse and depending on our depth it's every couple seconds plus or minus so those acoustic pulses travel through the water column based on the speed of sound through water in a given body of water and depth etc and our transducer array or our listener hears that and it can triangulate uh the range and the bearing so kind of where it was based on the phase difference of the wavelength that it's receiving so then we take those ship relative positions and we pair them with the ship's mru motion reference unit so we know where the ship was in space how it was oriented if it was rolled one way or pitched one way can kind of figure out exactly where the vehicles are in relation to the ship and then we can take those relative positions and translate them to global by pairing them with the gps so that way we have latitude and longitude positions for the vehicles and we also have another means of acoustic navigation so we have an acoustic doppler current profiler an adcp that's downward facing on the back of hercules so it's facing the sea floor so it's sending out acoustic pulses and based on the doppler shift of the frequency received can sense velocity so now we have a highly it's a locally accurate system doesn't know where it's in it it is in space but it's very locally accurate we can draw a very nice line of points we then pair that to our uspl positioning so you may hear occasionally we're talking about a dvl reset is that's a doppler is dead reckoning so it's just basically telling something to move i want you to move two meters bearing west or something like that but over time you may have only stopped 1.9 meters and maybe you were slightly north of west over time that position deteriorates and uh we need to constantly uh re-fix that to our best guess of where it is based on the uspl positioning the adcp does um velocity of hercules yes it's on the back of it's mounted on the back of hercules and then there's a compass in hercules as well yeah there's a gyrocompass and backup magnetic compasses argus has two magnetic compasses it does not have a gyro and the ultra sharp baseline between the transducers is between transducers on the ship and the vehicle just on the ship itself so the head has i think for like four transducer heads on it yeah another way people navigate is by a by long baseline so there you put out the listening devices on the c4 and uh you know far apart from each other and then you pick both of them but the uspl is a great advance because it makes the whole package a lot smaller doesn't require you to put out those beacons and survey them in and okay makes it a lot easier yeah i think that's the best way to understand uspl is understanding lbl and it's just like taking those at long baseline and bringing those transistors together and triangulating from the wavelength phase shift rather than just listening and time delays what might be cool in the future is like whole ocean long baseline um but there's some real challenges one is to know the to have the same clock at the you know transmit and receive and then also to know the um how the velocity of water changes over really long distances that's right yeah that that's something that we oh look at that couldn't push on there please dave deal with regular lily when we're dealing with multi-beam sonar is constant changes of sound velocity especially near the surface i feel like you need to give that speech again with the powerpoint for me to fully understand what's that that was a great explanation of it oh yeah sure i have a powerpoint somewhere okay i don't know that i've ever seen so that fish before um the name has been said many times it that i've heard and i don't i can't remember it at all one of our scientists ashore suggested rennie bringing the usbl screen up sure um see there's usbl nav that one's probably it's a little bit messy right now but it looks very slick yeah it looks cool yeah the coolest looking one that we have but we don't typically need it too much because we pipe that to other navigation screens which one is it uh it should just be usbl nav or sonardine actually yeah yeah well they're called pc1234 in my oh i don't know if it's piped into that you might have pc i got high pack you have ipac you might have um rav nav which is the one that's right next to j yeah that's that's rough rav that's good enough so it's of course a bad time to show because it's like acting pretty you can see that there's in general these uh things oh he's putting it hold on okay that's going up over the satellite now all right so on channel three lower left of the quad you can see um one of the positioning softwares that we use um so we have the ship over here and then we have currently a dizzying array of pings the dark blue is argus and the two light the teal is hercules those are the usbl hits um they're a little bit erratic right now although you can sense the linear pattern and direction that they're generally going in obviously the vehicles are not bouncing all over the seafloor it's just the positioning we have one of the reasons being the weather that we have and how hard the thrusters are working and we tend to attempt to send a bit of water or sound in the water column which affects our positioning accuracy but that's generally um the track that we're going in and then we have a a green line here that's that doppler the dvl doppler velocity log that we're using for the more local positioning the dead reckoning great thank you that was a great sure there's a question on chat for you renny so with the adcp is that figuring out the relative motion of herc across the ground or is it measuring the movement in the water it's across it's across the ground so it's bouncing off of the um it's really close to the surface obviously because hercules is close to the surface so it's bouncing off of the substrate and with that could you profile the currents of the water under herc if there were some currents moving along um i don't know if you could tune it that way perhaps i so one of the reasons that we use it is we can actually hold position with the vehicle so if you know the velocity you can stop you can have the computer that programs the thrusters uh stop the vehicle from moving so we do see that drift over time sometimes that could be current related um but the position's drifting not the actual the reported position not the actual position i have it i've only heard adcp in terms of measuring current so you're interesting to use that as a yeah i mean that's what it's used for is upward facing and measuring current but i think because it's so close to the floor it's kind of bouncing off out there it changes the game yeah okay and sometimes on vehicles they're called dvls or doppler villa symmetry loggers yeah i think you're right that the frequency is different for purposes of positioning a vehicle versus looking at uh moving water basis it's a really cool feeding trail patterns and sediment i haven't seen those yet it's like a little maze yeah yeah must be a really full holotherian around here somewhere like a little family family of holotarians yeah that were reproduced asexually i believe that's what you said right uh they can do both sexually or asexual i don't know if that's i must be species dependent but i don't know i would imagine that they might need that because of just the sparsity the scarcity of others appears asking what are what's the most unexpected thing you have found underwater uh the flip-flop was pretty unexpected yeah that was just one where's the other one yeah for me it was a toilet although another cool uh unexpected thing was uh saw something like really white off in the distance and went to look and it was a a book and it was you could still like turn the pages off [Music] to the cover and it was um like port security regulations okay someone had just thrown it over the side something no one wanted to read anyway another nodule field here yeah there's like so much more sediment on this yeah you know traverse than we saw yesterday this is a a flat flatter patch though looks like they also they grabbed a couple more push cars previously oh no those were the ones we did oh so we have three push cars left we do okay earlier today our expedition lead was talking about finding a rice cooker and when they opened it up it had an octopus living inside kind of unexpected that's pretty cool were any of you on dives at the octopus garden yeah that's pretty unexpected that was unexpected yeah really cool just not knowing that that was going to be there or the whale fall and the whale falls oh i want to see that we saw that in the sonar actually in argus's sonar it's like let's let's go look at that let's go interrogate that and then change the course of the whole time and the course of history some might say not many people yeah who would say that well i just said it that's about it it's just like right next to this nodule field there was sediment with no nodules yeah yeah that has to mean there's like active accumulation of sediment or does that mean that there's a relative rise over there so they're rolling down to settle in this little basin yeah are they in situ here how else could you get them so evenly spaced across the surface it reminds me so much of denver desert pavement the whole process under here yeah there's some of that in rhode island i believe is known for its coastlines and deserts speaking of like crazy juxtapositions of terrains on the big island of hawaii i heard they had a blizzard on top of mauna kea yeah probably someone who skied and surfed in the same day yeah that's when we were coming into port there's some more of that like linear stuff maybe yeah that does look like a dead sponge stock there yeah to the lower left yeah interesting we have a technical question this is uh what are the operating systems used on board one second those are well not front row is discussing um positioning stuff um please do you want to repeat your question oh yeah one of our viewers wanted to know what operating systems we use on board oh you name it um operating systems for the vehicles like communication they were looking at the navigator screen oh okay hey ready yes uh can you talk about operating systems for navigation oh yeah sorry so um the we have some windows machines um we have a linux machine that we use actually several linux machines looking down the row here windows linux linux linux this is its own the dynamic positioning system is its own thing actually i think it's on it's windows based it's a windows program um we have some mac computers but not typically not anything for critical use max max on the production side uh in the studio for interactions um and then we have some embedded systems that are written specifically for uh certain functions a lot of windows machines on the production and recording side as well yep yep all good some of the nodules yeah we can look for small ones and slurp them yeah sure cool the big boss back here is interesting collecting some of those yeah raj um sure we got a bit of a swing in us so we can try to do it on the fly i think we would probably have flat for a bit so i can why don't you get ahead as far as you can i'll stop the ship roger that bridge stuff yeah right old position adam we'll get to [Music] slurp up here yeah great we'll just uh yeah if you get ahead as much as you can i think i think we'll have enough in the bank yeah looks like continues up here pretty well so yeah adam how about over here to the left of screen that's great okay all right jake you want to get them out sure i missed that is this a slurp this is a slurp yeah correct well make sure we just get the small ones yeah it's always yup what's uh what's our jar situation which three four five and six open i think then we filled our watch has filled the slurps then i don't think our watch is the sample and we're sampling fiends guys yeah we are yeah if we don't find much name something biological we'll get a piece of wood yeah oh biology sure kind of want a kind of a bad perch here jake so good you're all clear you on bubble you're good i'm okay okay i'm gonna slurp while you're doing that or uh flash flushed and sorry sarah can you repeat we have a three and four open yeah three four um also five and six oh okay let's do number six all right jake all right go for some smaller beans that's great all right maybe just like scoop along the surface you're at full 100 there good and i'll have you milk it as well once you're done trying to find smaller ones nice which jar is that i can't read them what sample number is this this is zero four zero zero four zero maybe we'll drop that one yeah i'm dropping it now zeroed yeah all right going back on i'm not seeing any going yet so some extensive milk i saw some in the tube yeah five or six rolled into see if two come through might be a little too heavy yeah we'll certainly be in the suction hose yeah bubble zoom on the hose maybe but hopefully it doesn't block anything else coming in we still oh yeah there they are there they are you can see it in bubble there keep on doing that jake you're almost there i'm up there yeah you are it's the outfit [Laughter] okay we'll have a stack like two more small ones in there and then you're already in there anyway yeah there we go yeah then we'll get out ahead and we can we can do some more hose posing over here it looks like all intact maybe to the right or the center screen center screen yeah that little one that's the big one that you almost this one yeah there you go that's a couple more all right that's perfect all right we're going to come pull right there please stay and then you keep on doing the whole milk and game for a while and i'll get out ahead and then maybe if it's not coming out and pull it out and do a shake like that seems like yeah that's on the out it brings it up yeah yeah what's it have to go through past that uh there's just one junction one a minute yeah but that that should be all right i don't know let me do that oh this one came through nice keep going i think you got about seven more to go another one nice keep going there jake yeah there's quite a few in the house bring it around town oh there you go you're doing great they're coming slow but steady let me see some more in your house there you go those are hard to get get up to the top of the tube it looks like yeah those ones don't want to go oh it's almost there you're almost there uh okay yeah so looks like those small nodules did get stuck in the uh the hose there but uh got several of them actually many many made it up oh they made it all the way through yeah yeah you can see something just a couple spare ones do we know how many are still in the hose uh at least two okay but i don't know if the heavy ones are stuck at the bottom okay thank you adam one of our viewers would like to know why they form as nodules instead of sheets before you answer that uh do you want to keep continuing here i'll just call in yeah let's make another move sure yeah the uh they they start forming around some sort of nucleus some some hard surface that the minerals start to precipitate on and eventually they will merge together into a sheet but to begin with they form on these hard bits and they're spread across the surface and that's why we see them as these separate bits i you know on some manganese nodules when you cut them open you find the nucleating is an whale ear bone evidently it's the hardest bone of a whale and that's last to dissolve and it can act as a nucleating center around which it then grows it's always fun to take nodules and cut them in half and look at what what was the nucleating agent that got them going you can cut them oven yeah you slice them in half and you'll see what who started the ball game you're going to do that here though yeah we've got us well yeah we've got a saw we got a bunch of really small ones that we can easily have got them open and see what started the game on the last cruise bob we uh we saw something similar as the rostrum of a beaked whale which apparently does not it's similar to the inner ear it doesn't uh go away as well over time so huh it was there and it was coated in manganese although much more of the shape of the bone rather than a nodule there's a question about um what's the largest pitch um and roll angle that you can get on hercules this was in reference to getting those last nodules through yeah do a tail stand takes coming online for that okay is he or not did you catch that jake what what pitch and roll of hercules what's the largest we could get i actually have it right a readout of it up here um it's i mean it's largely bound by the syntactic foam at the top okay um so it's like can't we don't we can't really barrel roll the thing although that'd be pretty cool it's very stable in the horizontal plane but i can tell you right now as we read these out uh our roll is varying between 0 and 0.5 degrees just sitting here measure to horizontal measure to horizontal and our pitch is a constant uh negative 2 degrees right now okay with a little bit of variation but thank you i think if is negative pitched forward or back uh i'm not sure on the uh how the orientation of this it's probably gonna probably back right probably pitch back the mode is a bit heavier um yes i'd assume pitch back i'm not sure what what where it's relative to but if i were a guessing person which i am zoom back we have more weights in the back as well yeah i think we have a lot of those singular weights attached to the back weights we also don't have a um like the computer is a computer isn't telling it to be unstable so i think if we were to add a bit of code in there that said try to turn you know try to really roll and we thrust down with one and up with the other something like that then maybe you could get a little bit more but we don't typically want that as it's not desired yeah there's no barrel roll functionality yeah it makes for bad visuals adam can you explain what you will do with the samples the ones we just collected yeah for example yeah so we will um take a look at them physically you know examine them in our hands and we'll cut them open and see what the inside looks like and then we can uh look at the chemistry of the the nodule in particular in particular the rare metals looking at how concentrated they are it's a lot easier to vacuum those up than to take on hard bedrock yeah it's like a placer deposit yeah it's like a mini version of some of the big nodule fields in the south east of hawaii clarion clipperton zone i was just struck by the uh extensiveness of that field we went across yeah and it seemed to be in a saddle area i mean it looked pretty pretty flat flattener area yeah is right right before you came in there was a bunch of sediment next to it with no nodules at all yeah yeah i saw that that could be just ass wasting down the hill so it could be one man the mass wasting though you know just uh oh bearing the nodules flowing down the hill you know that's what a lot of this you'll see the shooting i mean it lands and then it goes downhill and develops its own pattern we got the we got some push cores earlier and we know there are nodules on top but it'll be interesting to see if there's also nodules at various steps within it but the sediment's got to go somewhere and it goes down and develops its own distributary system so when you see a lot of just sediments that's what you're looking at the drainage pattern off the top of the hill what would cause gravity mass wasting like now recently uh yeah so it could be earthquakes it could be just kind of continued alteration um of the fast wasting of the rock of the sediment it could just be over steepening and and then even uh you know changes from weather or something like that that uh destabilizes if it's right at the kind of failure like trying to like glue it all together yeah and almost like that's sort of interesting that one's sort of more black than everyone else yeah sometimes we've seen um these feeding trails yeah that have cleaned you know really cleaned off some of these polish him almost just starting to see a little bit of that movement in argus oh so does this remind you at all of what you were seeing on the famous expedition with these big pillow ridges you know basically you know the tumor eyes basically you know it's just been painted over i mean actually in the project famous area the flows were less than ten thousand years old so you had a lot of plague and height and budding and you almost needed sunglasses so even the reflective nature of the glass and this is and it's like someone poured a pile of tar on it and so it's all smooth and used to have lots of cracked open pillows and yolk like a yolk coming out and uh you know much more uh detail in the in the breadcrust expansion of the pillow and you get the popping red crust uh texture to it right but this is like i say it looks like someone threw a blanket over uh over the dinner table has anyone ever recorded an underwater flow like that to hear the acoustics of the cracking well they've done it with scuba diving off hawaii let's go in and watch it and the problem they had with the divers is sometimes when they the pillows actually implode it's almost like a hanger need going off and it ruptures your ears oh my gosh but uh yeah a lot of people you know when it flows in on kilauea and flows down the slope and into the ocean people have gone in and and watched it it's a pretty pretty i mean this kind of lava is dry it's from deep in the earth so it's you can get you know even on land you can get really close to but in subduction volcanoes they're highly volatile lots of water was taken down in the subducting plate and those are those are the bad guys yeah explosive but yeah you can get real close to these guys yeah and i will one day at the east pacific rise they had some ocean bottom seismometers out when an eruption occurred and in fact many of them were trapped uh in the lava and they recorded a bunch of implosions uh that seemed to track where the lava was going the same thing happened actually up at uh axial volcano on the one of hugo ridge so they do make some noise yeah and if you can figure out where the noise is coming from you can kind of track the progression of the lava across the sea floor but you can actually bring up some really fresh lava and it'll pop on the deck like popcorn once you take the pressure off of it and then some cases off sicily and even if the uh steve kerry found it down south of baja where you the rocks float oh yeah they have so much vesicles so much gas in them that they literally floats like pumice it washes up on the beach they make great uh scrub brushes my favorite story was you know in heimi when it erupted in downtown haymay and they evacuated everyone and they went found every fire hose they could get and they literally drove the lava flow made it turn go down third avenue make a right-hander and the movie was basically they even even brought it out and made a new harbor a breakwater wow i mean the icelandic people have been living they call it the midgar serpent wow they've been living on top of this serpent | Nautilus Live Dive Recordings | UCfmddVwdun0pWJ8qK9XygMw | 2021-12-17 | Creative Commons Attribution

RW5jmVWojhg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW5jmVWojhg | There is MONEY in DAYAMI | Philippine Solid Waste Management | Farmer Entrepreneur | Rice Straws | [Music] yo so what is up guys welcome back to my channel if you're new here then let me twist myself first i am gabrielle manuel make videos about personal growth finance investing and crypto i also upload university vlogs and interview people from all walks of life interesting then like my videos click that subscribe button and hit that notification bell for you to stay updated alright let's begin hi my name is gabrielle manuel a 21 year old student from the university of philippines visayas taking bs chemical engineering and currently i'm on my third year now i'm the proud founder of rich farmer industries which is a technology-based startup organization our main goal is to come up solutions to agricultural problems and needs in forms of inventions and low-cost technology one of our initiatives is the mani india project where and we buy rice straws from our local filipino farmers you know after harvest rice straws are either piled up and left in the field to compost or being burned by the farmers both ways are harmful in the environment and to us human beings as well this is because when rye straws are left it emits mething which is a harmful chemical and on the other hand fine particles that could harm the environment and could harm the nearby communities and the people living in it as well so what we do is that we buy the the army and the farmers for around two to three pesos per kilo no and i'm happy to say that other farmers you know what they're generous enough to just give the the yummy to us you know they say nah circulation project in between with the farmers and say we are the ones who needs the diamond for this project and you know what the farmers really wants to get rid of the diami as soon as possible since like it takes so much pace in their farmlands ever since i was a kid i really loved to watch documentaries especially in related to agricultural technologies i also grew up in a rural community wherein farming is the main source of living so fast forward today so i'm not a third year college student taking chemical engineering so my mind is like parana laga with this amazing thoughts that you know involves about chemicals and engineering technologies so i uh uh the money in the yummy project was born it all started with this indian ad that i come across with while browsing the internet i really love to watch videos cases on youtube during my free time so so i said wait technology [Music] so i searched the web and did some research like about this technology and i found out promising technology wait um first of all it's not your no um i just improved it and make it available here in the philippines especially in my community so basically what we do is to buy rice straws which is the by-product of rice production so you nano farmers really wants to get rid of this dayami as soon as possible because it takes so much space you know a one kilo milk rice is equivalent to 1.2 kilos of the yummy so by product anyway after buying the dayami for two to three pesos per kilo dadda linen amino summit processing unit which is major isolated shock in the processing unit this diamonds are being chopped into very small pieces and then again it's not too big in our processing unit we really try our best to avoid putting chemicals we let it boil for about four to five hours so after five hours of boiling this um the yummy lining is nothing at all to get this the yummy pulp so we usually hire the same farmer farmers if not them then usually [Music] we conduct free seminars and trainings for them to share our knowledge about this technology with that case we're not just helping the environment we're not just helping the farmers in getting rid of this um they are me anila but we also help them by providing additional work panasonic especially deepa planting seasonal pilot actually this pulp this the yummy pulp is one of the raw materials in making biodegradable packages however this machines that are used in making this packages are quite expensive and as of now independent afford so what we do is like we export this the yami pal to india and to other neighboring countries [Music] maybe in the next five years i'd say sanam machineries you know sana working to make this biodegradable packages now we don't need to export our daiyami pub to india to other neighboring countries and um i don't know it's a dream [Music] proudly made in the philippines 100 biodegradable environment friendly but you know think of it this way [Music] biodegradable materials especially the yummy like dude [Music] that's our goal and so [Music] for letting me share this knowledge it's a lot of viewers nothing so if you guys know a farmer and uh puedonating to lumen or if you guys want to you know help fund our money in the yummy project then feel free to email me at inquired.gov gmail.com or directly message me with my official facebook account which is gabriel manuel and [Music] yo guys just to clarify things up that um this video is a requirements a major kind of subject and why i upload it here in my um official channels for like um an entrepreneur you know and making money so yeah that's it anyway if you learn or if you enjoy this video then leave a thumbs up comment something or like and i don't know hindi | Gabreal Manuel | UCwUS11-kDxJ4AwEnpQwvIAA | 2021-06-11 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en

22__xlhQyUE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22__xlhQyUE | NSN Webinar Series: Lunar Landing Sites, Past and Future | hello everyone and welcome to the April NASA night sky network member webinar we're hosting tonight's webinar from the offices of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in San Francisco California we're very excited to finally get him you know audible and visible present this webinar with our guest speaker Brian day from NASA Ames Research Center and we also want to welcome everyone who is joining us on the live stream we're very happy to have you with us these webinars are monthly events for members of the NASA night sky network though we look forward to live streaming these into the future for more information about the nasa night sky network and the Astronomical Society at the Pacific please check the links in the chat and I think that Dave Prospero will put some things in there and so before we get to Brian day Dave prosper had I think one announcement so Dave I'm you that helps okay I've got several quick announcements here a few of you have asked if you did the work to get the handouts sent your way around March maybe wondering where the handouts and outs are in our office and we are waiting so we can get back to our office to ship them your way it's looking like it might be around our early to mid May hopefully I'm so hope so we will hopefully get your awesome handouts your way soon this also includes new tool kits and stuff like that so yeah everything is pending with everything else right now we also have I just want to let y'all know too if you want to add some events to the calendars if you're doing a hosting an online event or a virtual event like a virtual star party a presentation add them to the calendar just go right ahead and out into the night sky network calendar that'd be awesome and if you want to just do it locally select your own clubs usual location or you can uncheck the option and have selected location as a no location online or regional event and it will also show up just to everyone on the nice can Network calendar if that's something you're comfortable with so yeah it's still add events to the calendar if they're uh you know virtual or not what's the other thing oh and we will be hosting an online webinar about basically kind of doing some online uh outreach in webinars as well and that's gonna come out of and believe is it May 12th Brian I think so okay link will be in the chat and it will also be a way more information will be in our newsletter which will be out in about a week so you have plenty of time once that newsletter comes out to get prepared for that and that's all I've got so let's get started or check it out of the moon right thanks Dave so for those of you who are on zoom' you can find the chat window please feel free to greet each other in the chat window when you're in there please make sure you go down there's a little pull down menu usually down at the bottom on my computer anyway it's blue apparently it's other colors on other computers if you click on that select the one that says all panelists and attendees it defaults to just panelists and the only people they can see your comments are me Dave Vivian and Brian so if you want to greet some of your friends make sure that you select all panelists and attendees there's also a Q&A window any questions that you have for Brian this evening please put your questions into the Q&A if they end up in the chat we're gonna lose them and there's a few people that set questions in earlier the questions that we asked for in in that are more logistical questions having to do with the webinar itself and so if you happen to have sent a content question in earlier hopefully you can find that and add it to the Q&A window so that we can ask Brian at some point during the webinar and I think that that got us so we're very happy to come Bryan day to our webinar who's going to share with us a little bit about the geography of the moon lunar landings past and future and a really cool tool that you can use to share the moon with visitors to your events Bryan a currently serves as the lead for the lunar and planetary mapping and modeling of nasa's solar system exploration research virtual Institute or serving serving he oversees the development of the solar system treks one of which you're going to see in a little bit it's a suite of really great online tools facilitating data visualization and analysis Bryan and I have been working together off and on for since right around 2004 that are there abouts and where he used to develop a whole lot of online resources and basically game-type resources for for schools and other educators so it's been an absolute delight to work with Bryan for such a long time so without further ado please welcome Brian day all right so with any luck you are now seeing my title slide is that correct Houston future ok so we are at the 50th anniversary of the Apollo missions and we've already had the 50th of 11 and 12 last year we've got we just had the 50th of 13 and so it seems like a good time to look back at where we have been on the moon and why we went to those particular places and then look ahead to where we are planning to go in the future as we look at Apollo and the landing sites there we see that we went to a number of diverse locations for a number of diverse region or reasons so we can see we started out in bari areas and then progressed to more and more challenging areas and into the lunar Highlands and one thing you will notice though is that all of the sites that we landed on are on the near side of the Moon and they tend to be low latitude sites so keep that limitation and in mind even though there was some diversity there were also some significant limitations our first Apollo mission to the land on the surface of the Moon was Apollo 11 and we have Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins and they went to the Sea of Tranquility specifically along the southwest shore of the Sea of Tranquility as we zoom in using the moon Trek tool you can see that the lunar Highlands are very rough and rugged compared to the smooth texture of the lowland Mauri Plains and this is exactly why Mari tranquility audist was chosen as a site not because it is particularly scientifically interesting because it is flat and safe this was a technology demonstration mission primarily and they wanted to make the landing safely zooming down closer again you can see the fairly smooth nature of the terrain but the flight computer of the lunar module as it was coming down well it brought them in a little bit long the fair bit long as a matter of fact and so the flight computer actually ended up bringing him down toward this crater West crater with boulders in it and surrounding it these boulders are about the size of cars and Neil Armstrong looked out the window of the landing module and he saw what they were descending toward and realized very quickly that they could not land there and so he took manual control and continued to fly I'm hoping you can see my cursor here continue to fly on to the west and with only seconds remaining landed here just to the west of what has been called little West crater you can actually still to this day see the descent stage of the lunar module looking a little more closely this is a view from the Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter you can see the descent stage here you can see some of the equipment left out including a lunar laser ranging retroreflector and if you look very closely you may see some dark lines across the surface and these are actually the footprints of the astronauts this one path going here to the edge of little West crater these are actually the footprints of Neil Armstrong only he walked actually out to the edge of that crater Apollo 12 got a little more ambitious this is with Pete Conrad Alan bean and Charles Gordon toward the end of 1969 and they went to the region of Oceanus Procellarum again a nice flat area but one of the key things to note was this crater here the crater Copernicus and their landing site was to the south of Copernicus there one of the goals of this mission was to actually measure material sample material that had been excavated from Copernicus so that we could get a good handle on the actual age of Copernicus Copernicus is one of the key mile posts in our estimation of lunar chronology now Copernicus itself was too rough a place to land but it sent ejecta streaming out across the surface and if you land in one of these flat Mauri areas here in Oceanus Procellarum that has material from Copernicus draped over it it was reason that we could safely sample and determine the age of Copernicus so here's the landing site and you can see again the lunar module now with Apollo 11 they deliberately try to avoid credence this time they deliberately tried the target crater and the astronauts actually walked around and sampled these craters the craters were used as natural excavations to retrieve material from various layers of the lunar regolith as we zoom in we can also see the footprints of the astronauts as they were going along here and here's the lunar descent stage but we also see an area here that garnered their attention quite a bit and this is actually the surveyor three spacecraft that had landed on the moon over two years previously and so they actually demonstrated that they could now pinpoint a landing landing right next to surveyor and they were able to go and actually retrieve equipment off of surveyor and bring it back so that we could see how electronic equipment fared under long exposure to the extreme environment of the moon Apollo 14 was led by America's first astronaut Alan Shepard he went to the surface of the Moon with Edgar Mitchell with Stuart Roosa remaining in orbit and this time the target was the FRA moral formation and what we're looking for here something similar to what we did in Apollo 12 here this is the Mari Imbrium the embryo impact basin right here and again this is one of the major signposts we have in lunar chronology we wanted to figure out how old this structure was now landing in Mari embryo wouldn't help because at some time after it was formed it was flooded by this basaltic lava so we would sample the age of the lava rather than the age of the impact patient so instead the idea was to go south to where a bunch of the ejecta from the impact was still lying on the surface and this ejecta took the form of the floral formation this rolling hummocky terrain of material that had been blasted out of that large impact Basin so here is the actual landing site you can see the lunar module down here in the lower left and in the upper right we have cone crater and cone cleaner was going to be one of their big objectives because again it was going to excavate multiple layers material but from their landing spot they were not able to see cone crater because it's actually up on a ridge above them so as they set out they were unable to see the crater and they ended up going a little too far south they got up to the top of the ridge we're unable to see the crater wandered around for a bit finally made the assumption that they were too far south continued north for a bit but their oxygen was running low so they had to turn back without ever standing on the edge of the crater fortunately they got close enough that even though they were denied that spectacular view down into the crater they were able to collect material that had been excavated from the creek one of the samples they excavate are that they retrieved was this a rock about the size and shape of a football it got nicknamed Big Bertha and recently Big Bertha has been in the news because last year was studied in some detail actually a little over a year ago and this is a lunar Brett jet different types of rock that have been fused together by the heat of a meteorite impact but one of those clasts within Big Bertha one of those rocks in Big Bertha really stood out for being very very different different than any moon rock we had ever seen and as they analyzed that carefully it started telling them a rather amazing story it told them a story how it was not actually a moon rock at all but apparently it is a rock from Earth and it was a rock from Earth that formed several miles down beneath the surface between 4 and 4.1 billion years ago back then the solar system was a very violent place with lots of impacts happening and a large impact happened asteroid struck the earth excavated a lot of material including this rock and blasted on into space and landed on the surface of the Moon but did not get to rest there very long just 3.9 billion years ago another asteroid slammed into the moon forming the Embree omim pact basin and from the standpoint of our rock it saw this giant tsunami of hot molten material come roaring over the northern horizon and barrier and fuse it to the local moon rock and there it should have remained buried for the rest of time except for 26 million years ago a smaller asteroid theme slammed into the ground formed cone crater excavated the rock again and left it lying on the surface for Ellen Shepard to come along pick up put in his bag and bring back to the earth as a result we now apparently have the oldest earth rock we have ever seen and it was kept and preserved for us on the moon a neat story Apollo 15 commanded by David Scott the journey to the surface of the Moon with James Irwin and Alfred worden remained in orbit and the command module and this time well Mary Imbrium was a Gambas center of interest and he was actually the destination actually the edge of Mari embryo and as we look at the edge of Mari embryo and we see that at least on the southeastern section that border that rim of Mari embryo is formed by the Apennine mountains a mountain range that is about as tall the Alps here on earth as we look at the northern extent of the Apennine mountains we see this interesting in bait and a singer' thrill a feature that looks like a river valley but no water ever flowed here this is card by flowing lava erupting from the elongated bench you see down at the lower left end of the rail and then this glowing lava carved the sinuous pattern stretching for about a hundred thirty kilometers Apollo 15 was notable for taking the first of the lunar Rovers greatly extending the range that they were able to explore they of course explored Hadley rail this wonderful channel that had been carved by flowing lava and they also drove up this toward the lower slopes and onto the lower slopes of Mount Hadley Delta you see there in the distance the idea here was to be able to now actually collect some of that light Highland rock that was believed to be far older than the lunar basalt and so this would be their first chance to actually get some of this apparently much older rock and they actually succeeded retreated being a rock called the genesis rock that until that time was the oldest rock yet recovered but another rock kind of stole the show and this is a wonderful piece of the sickle ated basalt that they picked up on their way back from Mount Hadley Delta now on their way back they were informed as they were driving back that they were informed by Mission Control that they were behind schedule and they were going to have to skip their last remaining collection stops in order to get back to the lunar module and time and have plenty of oxygen to spare well Dave Scott realized there was plenty of margin built into this so he wasn't really worried and as they were driving along all the sudden he saw this rock off there's life and he realized he really wanted this luck but he also realized if he called Mission Control and asked for permission to stuff they tell him no to keep on going so instead he called Mission Control and said hey I'm having a problem with my seatbelt here at which point they told him well then stop that's a safety issue stop and fix it so he stopped unclipped jumped out ran got the rock put it back in his bag jumped in clipped in and said okay all good drove back to the lunar module and so that is why this rock is now known as speed belt rock Apollo 16 finally took us to the actual Highlands themselves we've gotten good enough at precision target landings that we were really reasonably certain we could risk landing in the far more rugged terrain of the lunar Highlands and so Apollo 16 did that with the idea that we wanted to better understand the highlands we knew that there are very rugged areas but then there are these smooth areas in between and I thought perhaps this was some kind of different type of volcanism some sort of Highland volcanic deposit and we wanted to sample that but landing there and you see this wonderful bright and North acidic terrain as they started exploring they realized that in fact this was not at all volcanic but it was crustal breccia broken up rock it was a regolith of began just the Highland terrain that had been battered there was no sign of volcanism here at all and they were able to sample number of strata by looking at material that had been excavated from north ray crater which they drove right up to the edge of Apollo 17 was the last of the missions to go to the surface of the Moon in the Apollo program and with Eugene Cernan and his commander and taking along to the surface of the Moon Harrison Schmitt the first and so far only scientists to actually walk on the surface of the Moon dr. Schmidt has his doctorate in geology and it turned out to be very useful in this case the destination was on the edge of the sea of serenity and this is the taurus littrow valley and we can see it right here sticking out as this imbalance out of the sea of serenity here it's really a pretty remarkable location this valley is deeper than the Grand Canyon here on earth it has these marvelous mountains to the south here this is South Massif here you have North messy and well I'm going to back up a little bit as we look here at the landing site one of the really interesting ideas that went along here you can see where they landed way down here you can see in the lower left you can see Tycho crater and if you've looked at Tycho crater through your binoculars or telescopes you'll see the bright rays streaking across much of the surface of the Moon and it had been noticed earlier that enough there was ejecta within this area that had there was aligned with Tycho crater so apparently material from Tycho crater had been blasted all the way up here and as people looked at South massif Mountain here they saw this white area extending out onto the floor of the valley and this appeared to be a landslide coming down from the face of South Messi and so what people reasoned was that ejecta from Tycho crater slammed into South Massif and caused this landslide to come down the face of the mountain here and so it was reason that for a number of reasons we'd want to go to this valley I mean you've got again a mixture of highland terrain Bari terrain you have a wonderful beautiful fault scarp here the lead Lincoln fault and you have this landslide and if you collect material from the landslide and date it then you could get a good handle on how old Tycho crater was too lots of good reasons to take a geologist in this fascinating area but even more so when you look at this puted landslide area people had noticed in earlier Apollo missions looking down they saw these dark payload craters and we've seen dark halo craters on the moon before as volcanic craters that had sent out clouds of pyroclastic ash volcanic ash and seeing a potential volcanic crater with an ash deposit that was overlying this landslide that apparently came from a very very young crater Tycho is one of the younger craters on the moon then that led people to believe that this could be very young fresh volcanism my god we've got to send a geologist there so imagine if you will descending into this incredible Canyon got pretty good at bull's-eye landings now and landing here toward the foot of North massive so here's the actual site of the lunar module you can see the tracks extending out in either direction and from this vantage point looking looking forward at North massif we can see something really amazing we see Boulder tracks we see tracks of boulders that have rolled down from the heights here so this could be that again that wonderful Highland ancient or North acidic material now we're not going to be able to drive all the way up the mountain to get to these patches but they're rolling down to us and the beautiful thing is is if you can drive up to one of these boulders you can by tracing its path back you can see exactly where it came from so you know its context but you can get through it easily and so this particular Boulder right here they actually drove up to and sample they then of course drove out across the Lee Lincoln Fault and on to the landslide and up to the base of South massive mountain and they van drove here to shorty crater that crater with the dark deposit around it the people had believed to be a fresh volcanic crater and when they got there Jack Schmitt realized right away that this was not a volcanic crater it was in fact just an impact crater an impact crater that had excavated the dark Mauri material beneath the landslide and overlaid it on top of that lighter landslide material so that it first seemed like a great disappointment until they started kicking around in that material that had been excavated and they saw beneath their feet this wonderful orange soil and this orange soil is in fact beads of volcanic glass that had been erupted long ago in an ancient fire fountain and had then been excavated by this impact the form shorty crater looking out from South Massif this is a view they never had but with our Moon Trek portal we can place ourselves in a location that they would have loved to observe from and with from the top of the mountain we can see the landslide going out but we see something interesting there appeared to be actually two separate units here a lighter younger unit and a older more faded unit there seem to be two different land slides separated by a large amount of time and that right there is inconsistent with this having come from Tycho Tycho would have formed one event in time and so the question is what would have caused these landslides if it wasn't the impact of Tycho and the answer goes back to this Lee Lincoln fault here and this is an example of what we would call a lobate scarps and many of these types of scarps can be found across the surface of the Moon they are formed by the fact that the moon over time is shrinking as it cools and as it shrinks that rigid crust buckles and forms these faults and this is going on today with seismometers left behind on the surface of the Moon by the Apollo astronauts we were able to see earthquake activity continuing along these faults including this area here of the Lee Lincoln fault so we got a pretty good picture of the moon from Apollo but after Apollo we had a series of robotic missions that radically changed our view of the moon Apollo gave us this view of the moon as being an utterly dry arid location but in the 1990s two probes clementine and lunar prospector gave us hints that in fact there might be water ice at the lunar poles the evidence was equivocal though and it was interpreted in different ways but how could there be water ice atmo well at the lunar pole the sunlight comes in at a very very very low angle hitting the surface and as a result the rims of craters near the poles and be permanently shadowed there are craters near the poles of the moon whose floors have not seen sunlight and well over a billion years and because of that they've remained very very dark and very very cold for the long time and so is reason that this could be great places for water ice accumulate so to test this upon the hypothesis out the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the lunar crater observation and sensing satellite El cross were both launched to the moon in 2009 they launched together aboard an Atlas 5 rocket and I'll talk first about the El cross mission it was designed to actually excavate one of those permanently shadowed craters near the South Pole of the moon the shepherding spacecraft held all the instrumentation and it carried with it the upper stage of the Atlas 5 rocket the Centaur upper stage something about the size of a school bus weighing two metric tons and the idea was as we were approaching the South Pole of the moon to let go of that upper stage and it's flying down into the shadows of that crater slamming to the ground at 5,600 miles an hour blasting hundreds of tons of materials up out of the shadows into the sunlight I into the sky of the moon then our little spacecraft would dive down through that debris sense it sniff it analyze it and see if in fact there was any water ice there and in fact there was the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter or LRO remained in orbit around the moon and mapped the moon in great detail and was able to sample through remote sensing and you're using Neutron spectrometry we're looking for deposits of hydrogen that L cross told us now we're in many cases in the form of water ice and one of the things that LRO was also able to do is tell us these permanently shadowed craters are indeed really cold they are the coldest places we've yet found in the solar system even colder than the surface of Pluto and we have found good indication that there are hundreds of millions of tons of water ice at the poles of the moment that could be an incredibly valuable resource for us from the future and there could even be a water cycle on the moon thanks to the loons tenuous atmosphere and our understanding of the lunar atmosphere came about through the ladee mission the lunar atmosphere and dust environment Explorer it was developed at NASA Ames launched in 2013 a very successful mission so with a new understanding of the moon the moon having an active atmosphere having abundant water ice and actually being geologically active in 2018 that's a plan a workshop to look at where do we want to go as we return to the moon and future missions report from that meeting is available to you you can download it from the URL that you see here but what we'll do is we'll take a look a brief look at some of these really exciting sites we'll start out with the lunar swirls that is that are best characterized by the object reiner gamma so as you look at the face of the moon that we see here from Earth reiner gamma is off toward the western limb it is best seen during the full moon phase with flat lighting it's an albedo feature and you get this tadpole shaped object here looking more closely at it we see it has a very intricate pattern of swirls and this actually corresponds to an area of a localized magnetic field on the moon the moon no longer has a global magnetic field like the earth does but it does have areas with Relic localized magnetic fields and so what we think is happening here is that the localized magnetic field is diverting incoming particle radiation and the particle radiation then flows along the field lines of this localized area and causes differential space weathering of the cereal on the ground here now this is actually a very flat area there's no relief here and if you look at this under low lighting the albedo features go away and you see this is flat what we're seeing here is just the difference in reflectivity and again apparently related to this localized magnetic field what caused that magnetic field we don't know that's one of the reasons why we want to go there nearby we have the Mariusz hills and so again looking at the moon as we see it from here on earth the Maurya chills are essentially right next door to rain or gamma as a matter of fact here you can see Reina or gamma right here again if you go to the end of the tail of the tadpole and here's the crater Marius right here are the Marius Hills this is one of the most spectacular collections of volcanic Peaks and cones you will find anywhere on the moon you separate doesn't look very spectacular here the only time you'll really see it through your telescopes to any advantage is when it is right on the Terminator and you've got very very low angles of sun coming in along the horizon there and we can simulate that here by changing in moon trek through a laser altimetry view and we can see all these peaks and cones stand out very readily zooming in we can see there are several hundred or well over a hundred close to two hundred breaths of these cones and peaks and being this erupted over a long period of time and so this will help us understand the chemical and internal evolution of them we can see a variety of flow features across here now the reason that these Peaks is so hard to see is again they are very low relief lunar basalt typically when it erupts has about the viscosity of olive oil at room temperature there's a very low silica content there as a very low viscosity and pretty hard to build mountains out of this very low viscosity material even so the Marius Hills are actually steeper than your typical lunar volcano but you can see evidence of flowing lava across the surface here amongst these bums in beaks continuing north from there we have the Aristarchus plateau and the p60 basaltic in so here we have the Mariusz hills in the foreground where we just were but looking north we have this wonderful area showing up on the horizon we'll zoom in a little closer to it you'll see that here it is in our earth typical earth view zooming in we see the craters Aristarchus and a lot itis and this wonderful plateau around them the plateau has dark stains of lunar ash deposits and it has this magnificent feature here Schroders Valley the largest sinuous rill on the surface of the Moon ten kilometers across at its widest it is magnificent flows 180 kilometers long as we look to the south and west of the Aristarchus plateau we have this very smooth bland volcanic basaltic plain this is the p60 unit and this apparently represents the youngest Mari basaltic flow that we find anywhere on the moon about only about a billion years we estimate from the rate of impact craters but we'd love to actually retrieve some sample material and precisely data because again this appears to be the youngest of the moon's basaltic flows looking for the north end of the Aristarchus plateau again you can see plenty of evidence of clothes and other sinuous rills the sites Schroeder's valley there's a lot here to explore but and as we look north across the plains of Oceanus Procellarum i'm the far limb of the moon we see something interesting catching our eye and those would be the guru toys and don't so looking again at our earth view of the moon the Guru toes and domes occur on the western edge of the embryo impact basin they're located here at the bottom of this plummet aureum or beneath sinus iridium here you can see these features right here these also are lunar volcanoes but we don't need laser altimetry or low at light angles to see them these are big steep mountains they differ from your typical lunar volcano and that these are highly silicic in comparison to the other volcanoes thick pasty lava able to build up these large mountain edifices here close to 2,000 meters so significantly different than typical lunar volcanism why would the lava here be so much richer and silica we don't know but we'd like to find out another really intriguing volcanic area is the ina D caldera and we'll zoom in here on it we can see this small feature right here looking more closely we see this it is a bulk basaltic volcanic material but this vault this caldera has a very strange morphology you have these pillow-like features that are lightly cratered but then you have this strange terrain between them there you will find no impact craters and virtually no impact craters at all which indicates that this is really young material and based on crater counts we're seeing that this would be less than a hundred million years old that's hard to reconcile with our understanding of the thermal model of the moon we can't see how volcanism could have continued that late so is our understanding of the lunar interior that wrong where's there perhaps something different about this material that causes crater counting here to misrepresent the age we don't really know what's going on in ina and ina is just one of a number of these what we call irregular Mauri patches across the surface of the Moon so again this is an area that really calls to Rhema bode is this very one an example of a very dark patch here this is again a pyroclastic the positive positive ash from fire fountains that erupted across rifts and some indications from orbit are that the ash here could be uniquely are especially enriched in water content there is a possibility that perhaps this kind of ash could also be a resource for us so we might not be limited to the very high latitude locations to retrieve water is this is this an or grade deposit is this water that could be used is that water really there we don't know but it's certainly worth exploring across the surface of the Seas the basaltic sees the Mauri patches we have a number of features like these pits that seemed to be holes in the ground that opened up into voids beneath these appear to be skylights and to subterranean lava tubes and so some people have even proposed that these could be good areas for us to establish habitats it would be protected from micro meteorite impacts that would be protected from the harsh radiation and there would be protected from the extreme thermal swings going from day to night now I'm trying to take just a quick time check where we know that we lost a little bit of time at the beginning we're at about 10 - and we're accumulating quite a few questions - okay I'll meet up here so Compton Belka on the just on the far side of the Moon is actually an area where we have again solicit volcanism and high enrichment of thorium Mari Muscovy Enza is one of the very rare examples of Mari terrain on the far side of the Moon it includes pyroclastic ash deposits and even some of those enigmatic swirls the South Pole it can Basin is an actual is the largest impact basin on the surface of the Moon 2500 kilometers across it's very ancient and it's been battered but it may excavate all the way down into the lunar mantle the schrodinger Basin on the edge of the South Pole Aiken Basin seen here has wonderful rock outcrops has permanently shadowed areas and has volcanic pits the South Pole of the Moon where we plan to go with Artemis again very thick shadows but with the moon Trek portal we can Pierce those shadows by switching to laser altimetry we can generate slope maps we can overlay the permanently shadowed areas we can look at average temperatures maximum temperatures this is a lamp albedo actually perhaps showing us frost deposits hydrogen abundance and even this is looking at eye stability of depth how deep would you have to dig in order to get ice so this is the site this is the area where we are planning to send astronauts right now we're targeting 2024 would the Artemis mission so I think we'll call it quits from there except for I will just actually encourage you to go to Trek nasa.gov where you can use the moon Trek portal that I've been generating these images with tonight and you can do so much more and you can also use our portals for a number of other worlds so with that I'll bail out and let's take some questions all right thank you so much Brian this is fantastic and Dawn did ask and I'm glad that you brought that up right there that where can you get these lunar images and it looks like the other than the ones on the surface from the missions you too can generate these images whichever ones he wants yes and you're not limited to stills you can actually take normally if I was in a higher bandwidth if I you know had a little bit of a higher bandwidth environment like doing this out of the office rather than my home I'd show you how you can actually interactively fly across the surface of the Moon down into the craters up over the mountains you can create your own virtual reality experiences you can measure the heights of mountains the depths of valleys you can draw bounding boxes over terrain that you find interesting and generate 3d print pots so there's a whole lot you can do with it all right I know it's a really powerful program and we might have to have you back just to do something with the in and outs of it I think that people would be really interested in that so very good feeling we're gonna ask all right so Barry asked a question back when we had when they had the orange soil he said that it looked like there was a three-legged device with a multicolored strip do you know what the strip was yeah that's actually that multicolored strip is actually for color calibration in the photography there so basically as you know when you this was all that was taken with a Hasselblad camera using I forget this way if it was a variant of ektachrome I believe that was used but if you remember back to film you can always get interesting cast and so in terms of color balancing so that was a set of known colors that we you could use then to calibrate the photograph and so we could actually accurately reproduce that the true color of that orange soil okay so Cooke was wondering when the water race was ejected presumably with the autocross impactor would it sublimate similar to what it does on Mars so yes over time it certainly would so as that ice got out into the sunlight then it was it would turn to water vapour now fortunately as we came down as well across shepherding spacecraft came down through that cloud of debris we were able to see both water vapor as well as still water ice and material that had not yet sublimated Gregory asks can you what's the significance of creep on the moon and has creep rock ever been found on the earth so the creep rock is enriched in a number of elements that the thing that really catches people's attention with a creep rock is that the re e stands for rare earth and this is apparently enriched in rare earth elements and as you know here on earth the rare earth elements are in very high demand these are used for creating the strong magnets that are used well in your phone in all kinds of electronics and this could be potentially a valuable source now we do have rare earth deposits here on earth is it yet economically feasible to go mined them on the moon that's probably to be determined but it is fascinating that we do see these deposits there on the moon alright John asks a question and sites such as the Marius Hills were once considered for Apollo landings giving given all the survey data collected since then or any of the old landing site candidates still valid and I know that that certainly one of the plans was one of the finalists for going Mars 2020 was you know where spirit had been right so so again so the question is was is there a desire to go back to some of the previous landing sites that's what that's how I'm not right now no at this point we're looking at really expanding to two other areas we want to we want to see some terrain that is fairly diverse from what we have already experienced the thing that makes the pole so especially attractive is again the potential for Institue resource utilization a resource that could make the poll of the moon a place that we could live sustainably if there's an abundance of water ice that is accessible and we've yet to determine that we know there's ice there how accessible is it well that's yet to be determined but if it is in fact accessible and useful then that becomes not only water for us to drink but that can be used to make hydrogen for fuel oxygen for breathing it can be used mixing with regolith to make essentially a lunar concrete that we could use as a building material there are lots of really good reasons to do that plus at the poles you don't have necessarily that nasty problem of the two-week-long lunar night that's a real logistical issue surviving the lunar night is a challenge but at the poles of moon especially the South Pole which is relatively rugged compared to the north you have Peaks that stick up into almost constant sunlight so imagine having areas with near constant sunlight right next to areas that are in permanent shadow so you have the resources of water plus the resources of solar energy Wow that makes especially the South Pole look pretty irresistible to us right now so David Evans asked how did they determine that Big Bertha originally came from Earth or at least the class to in it and you know that was a pretty complicated history it's been rather eventful and so how did they determine those various events very good so basically the mineralogy of the class within Big Bertha is distinctly non lunar but it does in terms of some of the mineralogical components at courts and the zircons and also the oxidizing environment that it formed in again distinctly non lunar and so it you can come up with ways to maybe make that happen at a great depth in that early lunar environment but there's no evidence that this could have been excavated from that great depth whereas it would be a relatively shallow and accessible depth here on earth and it represents mineralogy and an oxidation state that would be entirely consistent with terrestrial origin okay and thinking about the the evidence within the rocks there so Mike asks the question is the caption fission or accretion theory still held as the top theories for how the moon was formed or is there a new leading theory did any of the lunar samples give us a better understanding of how the moon came to be yeah we still our best candidate is still an impact and then accretion of ejected material that that still is by far the best model that we have for the formation of the mound okay so we have a couple of questions and we're going to apologize right up front that we're not going to get to all of these at some point Brian's going to need to go home but kind of combining a couple here so we had one person inquire about whether or not there's any plans to explore on the far side and then we had another one so as you know what would the far side offer that the near side doesn't definitely were to go to the far side okay so are there plans to explore the yes as a matter of fact that it's being explored right now the Chinese actually landed in the South Pole it can basin recently with one of their chunghae probes and so they actually had deployed a rover into the south fully convey --scent now again what does that have to offer we would like to understand the geophysics the structure of the moon very more intimately one of the things that here on earth you do when you want to understand the interior structure in geophysics is you drill deep holes we'd love to do that on the moon too but there are logistical challenges to doing that in the environment at the moment but nature is already taking care of that for us in making this 13 kilometer deep hole these far side of the moon and the South bully kin basin and so there is you know we can get down to certainly lower crust and perhaps into a mantle material by exploring the South Pole Aitken Batian also the from an astronomy standpoint since we're dealing with a lot of astronomers here this is a really good point to make is that the far side of the Moon is the one place in the solar system that is always protected from the earth by miles and miles and miles and miles and miles of rock and the earth has become annoyingly radio loud and some of the really really sensitive radio astronomy programs that you would love to be able to do will be overwhelmed by the noise from the earth but if we were to put a radio array on the far side of the Moon we would have that protection of all that Rock we'd be in the shadow the radio shadow formed by the moon and with that we could do studies of the dark ages of the universe when the first stars started turning on and so there are active plans afoot Jack burns out of University of Colorado at Boulder has put together intricate plans to put together a wonderful radio telescope installation on the far side of the moon to do really profound astrophysics so we have another I'm gonna do two more questions here so Andy asks a question and I'm gonna kind of expand and there she was wondering what it would you know what do you think about mining on the moon and maybe you know just maybe turn that into a more general question about in any potential for commercial development or what it would take to do that or if it's feasible if it's even some things that should be done so one of the resources right now but is most caught our interest on the moon is that water ice if it is accessible if it is usable if it is as abundant as it appears to be and we can actually get it if it is or grade in nature then that becomes an incredibly valuable resource because that could end up being used as fuel to take us throughout the rest of the solar system getting out of the Earth's gravity well and through that thick atmosphere is a real encumbrance but the moon with it's almost complete lack of an atmosphere and with its relatively shallow gravity well this could become a great launching spot to go throughout the rest of the solar system and we could have the fuel right there rather than having to bring it expensively from the surface of the earth is that feasible I mean a lot of companies are looking at this as a business model but are we ready for that yet and the answer is we don't know how usable how accessible that ice is we have to go through the absolutely critical stage of prospecting that's what you do and resources here on earth and that's what we'll have to do on the moon and so there is a mission being planned right now by NASA called Viper and Viper will be a robotic rover that will go to the South Pole of the moon and it will prospect the lunar ice resource it will map it out it will see how its distributed how accessible it is how usable of resources this is this something that really could be done on an economical basis and so until we have that information we are right now just speculating all right in the last question and I know that you're very enthusiastic about the moon and you you know you're always excited about but what excites you the most what's your favorite thing oh my god favorite thing about the moon oh there's so many you're asking me you like to choose among children I I am fascinated by lunar volcanism I back as you know I first started doing amateur astronomy of the Moon and hunting though there was a wonderful book that came out on lunar domes and searching for lunar domes is a wonderful challenging thing to do as an amateur astronomer you have to get the lighting just right but then there are those really abnormal volcanoes too so that that for me is that's always been something I have found really fascinating is the lunar volcanic environment You certainly have pointed out a number of those that I think that NASA in general is seems to be really interested in going to visiting those two that's very good it's very good all right well that's all for tonight thank you very much for Brian I'm sorry that we had some technical difficulties at the beginning but I think that we managed to make up for it just a little bit thank you everyone for tuning in you'll be able to find this webinar along with many others on the night-sky Network website in the outreach resources section each webinars page also features additional resources and activities we will post tonight's presentation on the night sky network YouTube channel probably I think that YouTube since we're streaming it it automatically puts it up there but we will put an edited version of it by the end of the day tomorrow we'll edit out some of the glitches and you can also join us for our next webinar on May 27th I believe that's also a Tuesday when we feature some of the science NASA is doing from the international space station and so keep looking up and we will see you next month good night everyone | NASA

OnZePLee_Po | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnZePLee_Po | Making Sense of BOSH Links Through Visualization - Jamil Shamy & Saman Alvi, Pivotal | thank you for joining us today my name is summon and this is Jamil Jameel has been an engineer on the Bosch team for more than two years now and I've worked across a variety of cloud foundry projects as well as a few core components of Bosch so we want to talk to you today about an interesting problem that exists in the Bosch universe imagine the following you have multiple massive deployments properties variables and links being shared all over the place property is being shared through links variables being generated left and right certificates being presented and flying everywhere and in the midst of all of this an error occurs and you are the one person that they have decided is responsible for fixing this problem it's all on you the question is how are you going to do this so we are here today to help you solve this problem ideally by the end of this presentation through the visualization of Bosch links and other Bosch components you will be able to solve this problem but before we get started let's talk a little bit about the history of links links were originally created to solve the problem of sharing data across components in the Bosch manifests they were also created because static IPS had to be assigned to all the components in the manifest so for example if you consider the case where you have an app client a server and a database the client needs to know the address of the server the server needs to know the address and port of the database and the database needs to expose the username and password to the server originally all these components were defined in the manifest and there was a lot of duplicate information and static IPS were assigned to every single component tools like spiff and spruce were created to help reduce that so that they would automatically generate that data and insert it into the templates and the man of but they created dependencies and large deployments were still tricky and hard to manage so even with these so these are some of the problems that Lynx are hoping to solve but what is a link and quite simply a link is a connection between two components a provider and a consumer a provider and consumer both to find the type of link that they are consuming and Bosch at runtime resolves the connection between the two creating a link so in the so an example to understand this is when you try to understand the connection when a database is providing a link to a server so a database is providing a link connection of name and type con and it's exposing the property port and the server is consuming it at runtime in the job spec bosh will resolve that property for you during deployment they also solve the problem of sharing addresses between links because when the link is provided again in this example the database is providing the con link to the server the job spec resolves it because the link itself contains the instance provider the provider instance address so the job spec is able to resolve it so now that we have a basic understanding of why links are created and what they are we want to get a little bit into the latest features that we have developed around links the first of which is the links API so if you have a deployment that looks kind of like this you have a provider that's being provided the links API provides a way to get all the entities that are being provided in a deployment so this is the response you get and this will be able to define like hey there is this link is in this case it's defined in the release spec with name and type peers and zookeeper peers it lives in the zookeeper job in the server's instance group its alias to custom peers and it's shared across multiple deployments so on the left you have the actual definition of a link provider like this is how it exists the link consumers endpoint lists all the entities in a deployment that are able to consume a link and the entities which can consume a link are a job a variable and a custom and a custom external consumer which we will get into in the next few slides so again querying the links consumer endpoint gives you is able to give you the definition of the link in the release spec for this example and it defines hey I live in the ng next job in the app server instance group we have also created the ability for you to create a link so now when you create a link you are going to be creating a link as a third party entity so you specify the provider that you are going to that you specify your provider and you set your type as external so when bosh resolves this link it will find the provider with type external and then be able to resolve it so it's very important that you set your type is external for this example the response of this request gives you back little generated links ID which you can use to query and get the link address this becomes super useful in the case of service brokers when they're trying to resolve the links networking interpret information to generate the boss DNS address for their service instances that they're creating so super handy for that use case we've also created for you custom providers and a custom provider is only really different from any other provider in the sense that it only exists in the deployment manifest and not in the release spec a custom provider can still be aliased it can still expose properties it can still be shared the only difference is that it only exists purely in your deployment manifest the purpose or the reason for this existence comes in handy in the next slide when we talk about variables because now we've added the ability for variables of type certificate to consume links of type address so in this example we have the address job providing a custom link of server app address of type address this will be consumed in the alternative name down below in the variable so when this variable is generated the sands of that certificate will actually contain the Bosch DNS address job of the Bosch DNS address of that job it's really cool it solves a very important problem so taking a step back for a moment we now understand what links are why they came to be and a little bit about the latest features that we've developed but we still have that same problem we still have that massive deployment we still have properties links and variables flying all over the place but does it still have to be a headache I'm going to let Jamil do a demo of the links visualizations tool and give you more information thank you summon hello everyone my name is Jamil as someone have mentioned I've been the boss team since almost two years and a half right now you probably if you're interacting on the Bosch channel you'll probably see me as Gargamel avatar from time to time so that would be me yep so hopefully today we're going to demo this tool and can I just get maybe a quick survey who uses links here or like just on daily basis just can you raise your hand okay who have some times trouble understanding whatever you have like a big deployment that says you have deployment or any other deployment who's consuming what who's providing what cool ok hopefully this will happen so let's go to them before we start let's actually take a look at maybe a real problem let's take a look at the CF deployment manifest just that stop in source 1 probably most of you are familiar with and surprisingly or maybe not surprisingly that's so many links has so many things so many variables it has 17 instance groups 90 variables between certificates and passwords that gets generated 29 releases and you know just good luck figuring things out sometimes it gets a bit challenging if there's no if you don't have previous understanding of the internal components before you even look at it so this tool was created like a few years ago just did the one we look at it it's a static analyzer of the Bosch manifest it's just a website just some JavaScript it will try to pass it and then display few components for the Bosch manifest but still it's gonna tell you a few things on it let's say the variables releases instance groups but it doesn't really tell you let's say you have this job and it's consuming this thing from another deployment or from this deployment which currently actually there's nowhere you can tell that in Bosch it's just like basically you're running blind so that we're going to experiment with today as it started as something called the Bosch extension CLI it initially started by the previous Bosch p.m. Dmitry Callahan so he created that tool it's just a go tool created so that it can help him debug different posh environments and parse some bugs so what we did is we took it a step forward and we added a web component to that tool so we forked it and we added the web component of that - what does what what does it really do is we made it very simple for any kind of dependency just to work for for dispatch extensive CLI if you're using Bosch then you probably use the bar CLI and you have let's say all the environment variables already in your shell you just run that tool in the same shell and it will automatically shell out to the boss CLI and it will use those exported variables so it would be very simple if you're using the past year like just to add to use this tool so for example I'm gonna just start now I'm gonna stop it and let's run it I'm gonna just build it I run it and then I'm gonna it's the command is visualized for dispatch extension what it will do is that it will create a local HTTP server and everything is contained in that binary and we're gonna just serve that some content locally and I want to just mention one thing everything that you see is on your local network it's not going outside of your machine so that would be helpful later on whenever we're dealing with variables from a security perspective so let's go ahead and then click it so initially when we created this we added as even at the beginning a quick way to visualize some components of marsh and then links came over and then we added them so at the beginning we let's say it will have let's see how many deployments you have how many running tasks how many releases just basic stuff so if you look here it will just have all the list of deployments if you click on it just usually this is what the boss CLI will show you and then you can't really quickly see all the releases let's say used by this deployment 1cf or let's say by cloud cache so just a quick thing just let's say if you're new to the environment I want to just quickly debug something what kind of deployments without typing too many box commands so this still till now it's it's not that different from the actual bar CLI so let's take it to the next to the next time this one is the Barsha releases and if you use Bosch you know that whenever you list their releases to tell you it's being used but it will not tell you by which the planet you need to do some gymnastics to find that out so this one actually behind the scene it's doing some aggregation it will list all the versions of the partially diseased you're using and let's say we have binary built back it's used by CF deployment and Bosch DNS is used by all those super deployments let's say it's you spying on deployments this way whenever you have a big environments and then you want to quickly just glance over old version of releases and then you want to see which deployments are using those you can just quickly find out and this is mostly to help the operator and we added a couple of more before we get to the links which is the meat of the stock I'm gonna just go through them quickly so here we click on the tasks we are displaying all the tasks of the director just whatever you get from the Bosch tasks you man and some helpful information from it and then here you can see there's two links for every tax there's ten events and there's an ID so if we click an ID it will go fetch the actual debug logs further and then it will try to colorize them so if you have a medium to small size deployment if there's any error I can just go and then quickly see it without just with some color at least so that you can distinguish what's really happening and this is also happening in the background you don't really need to type so many posh commands here so for example in this deployment this was successful I can just if something went wrong I can see the debug logs here now if I go back to the tasks I can also flam the tasks if probably if your worship writer you have used the boss events which is very could be very helpful in tracing exactly what happened if something want that so here from each task if you click on it it will take you directly to another page which will filter all the tasks and the boss directed by that ID so here we can see that it's creating deployments yeah for updating Surrey deployments yes and then here you can just start to see the actual linear time of linear events what's really happening and even myself on it like I was involved for two years sometimes it's not easy for me to know like what really happens at this point what's boss doing by just following this it will quickly tell you like to put in your head some kind of a flow of what's really posh director does and it has some some interesting features were if any event has a context if it's an error or not we're gonna see the error you can click on it and then it's going to show you the actual context for this event so here we are updating the deployment from here and then this is sorry this is the after state and this is the before state this is could be helpful actually whenever let's say let me clear the filters and whenever there's a problem in your deployment so let me go here and then I wanna and I will also mention that bashed events will give you only 200 by default so you need to do before ID to get the last 200 so again it can get messy with this one you can just copy this one and then put it before ID here and then it will directly filter the previous IDs so you don't really need to type that 17 - - that's something intimacy Ally and here for example quickly let's say we know like line fifty-fifty is task 59 there's an error in this event if you click on it you can just directly get it this is whatever you are dealing with so many deployments in the Bosch director it's quickly easy just to figure things out without pulling your hair out hopefully so this is the Bosch events tasks releases deployment so this is just the quick things we added to this - and sorry one more thing is the config and now probably maybe if you're aware or that Bosch supports different kinds of conflicts before we had the runtime config and cloud config now we have we have a resurrection config there's also CPI configs and potentially it could be expanded to anything so with the addition of all those configs let's say I want to see which version I'm using what's the content of that we added this quick tool which will aggregate a few things together it will list all the configs in the real world scenario you will have so many of them but in this one it's only two and let's say I want to see the clock if you click on it it's gonna go fetch directly the clock effect and then it's kind of displayed for you so to quickly visualize it this call this can also have like hopefully be helpful whenever an operator dealing with multiple conflicts now let's go to the actual - the big part of this presentation about the links so you have the CF deployment we have I don't know X number of deployments and you have shared links between those deployments so maybe sometimes let's say if you are updating a provider and by some by some chance whenever you're updating a consumer is going to start or date something that you'd never even imagined before how did did you know that before probably not maybe as an operator sometimes you don't really know like its disappointment consuming from that or what's really the topology of the deployment so with the help of Link's API with some aggregation what we did is we separated the concerns of links into to the providers and consumers we sell choose the deployment and we're going to tell you all the providers that this deployment has for example here let's go to the providers for deployment I'm going to choose a deployment this is the CF deployment it will give me all the actual providers of this deployment that all the entities it could be a job it could be another thing they can provide something additionally it's also doing some aggregation it's telling you how many times this provider is being consumed so for example here Nats the link Nats of type nuts which is shirt it's coming from a job and that job belongs to the instance group nuts and it's called nuts it's consumed eight times and to know who is really consuming that we just opened this one it's behind the scenes also doing so many aggregations it will give you the actual provider definition and a database which could be very useful also it will tell you the list of all the consumers that are consuming this for example we know nuts is consumed eight times by nuts itself by the router job in instance group UAE and deployments EF and the list goes on this before link CPI before this there's no way actually you can know that unless you go to the database and then do some queries even with that actually it was not if links were not a first-class citizen citizen of the database it was put in JSON so it was not I don't think it was even possible so this one for the providers and one thing for example you can see here you can start to see some patterns is let's say you can see that some of the providers there consume zero times which is expected some of them and you can quickly let's say I'll be interested in multi and a huge deployment I want to see like the providers that are consumed the most amount of time so here we have like dopler if I open it I can see the Doppler link from the Doppler job in instance your top it's being consumed by all of these and it will this one will tell you now it's you it will only see see one deployment if you have multiple deployments consuming this provider it will show you here so if you are just having so many dependencies and then you want to make sure whenever you're doing some update on the deployment I want to don't want to trigger something or I want to I want to really know what I'm expecting this hopefully will help you just predict that by whenever if I pleading a provider maybe I want to also update the consumer deployment as well so that I will not face any interesting facts later so this is the Bosch deployment this is the Bosch share so this is the list of providers for a link for a specific the plug now if you flip it around and then we're going to see let's say the consumers per deployment I want to see I have a deployment and interested in seeing were all the consumers in this deployment where they are coming from let me choose the CF diplomat one more time and here it will give you some statistics so we have 78 total number of consumers and this deployment we have 72 fulfilled consumers because the consumer could be optional so could be nothing actually really it's not consuming anything and we have 70 most of them all of them actually are consumer of type job we're gonna see the variable later and then we're going to talk about it and in the consumer here you choose any consumer let's say if I'm interested in the UA a let's see the disc let's say in this consumer the database consumer coming from the you a job if I click on the plus sign to expand it I see the consumer I see the link and I see the provider I know exactly this job where it's consuming things from and the reason this is helpful is because this kind of link could be provided by I don't know maybe 20 providers and at the ploy time you don't really know which one unless you really coded that link or to your operator even if you go to that link are you sure it's that one behind the scene you like many things anything can happen so this is from a link consumer perspective I'm gonna choose actually now another deployment and I'll talk about the variables so now with the ability of before let's say which cloud hub you can define the variable section in the manifest and then it's going to go generate the variables for you but probably most aware of is that you need to put the common name and the sense subject authoritative names to the Boche dns aliases like things here internal or something so you need to hard-coded so what we did is we had now we said a variable can consume a link from a job let's say it's the you a job for let's it's a you a job this variable whenever it's ooming that's linked of type others from that job whenever it gets generated before we send it to crud hub we are adding automatically adding the posh DNS record for the instance group that this job belongs to and injecting it in the common name or subject alternative names so that you don't really need to deal with it and it will automatically be Santa Clara signed a created sign and sent back to you here we imagine let's say you have one ninety variables and was like okay like I'm consuming something from a job as a variable but what this thing ended up doing I don't know you generated the variable did it really have the correct sense or not it's a big questions here in this deployment we can see that we have twelve own we have twelve consumer of type variables all of them and then we can see they are fulfilled by which is job exactly the same thing as a consumer so the consumer link and the provider and one thing let's say if I want to investigate this specific variable what is it I can just take the name of it let's say observer two and then I want to go to the variables tab which we don't we didn't talk about I'll click on this deployment it will list all the variable used by this deployment using the posh voice command additionally it will shell out to create hub and it will fetch that variable for you so for example if I am interested in this one it will open it and it will automatically fetch that now this one might seem a bit scary but everything is local with shelling out to cloud hub the same way that all the environment variables are ready in the shell and then you can quickly take the certificate and decode one last thing I want to show is the deployment dependency if I want to quickly glance I have the CF deployment who are the other deployments consuming links from the CF deployment I can choose it and I can just quickly see let's say here I have to provide a deployment which is the CF I can quickly see all the deployments that have links consumed from the CF deployment this way if I'm updating CF maybe you want to update the other ones it depends of what you really updated this is I think this is the last thing I want to show here and to go back this is hopefully it was introduced to help to bridge all this gap off I have those many links many providers many consumers and now it's getting more confusing with the variables of guessing more confusing with the custom provider definitions and imagine you're facing a manifest with around 3,000 lines of code okay just tell me what's really happening this is a prototype that we started doing there's one limitation there's a couple of limitations with the API that Bosch is exposing we are doing many queries behind the scenes so that our next step if this one like is found to be helpful is to submit requests to Bosch director PR sorry to the Bosch director to help us visualize more and it is much quicker and understand that apology of links and always think I would always think about it with one person actually like on slack messaging like hey I have 500 deployments on my director and he's a bit scared he was a bit scared like what is being what's happening with the links between those deployments it's just basically like click and just wait hopefully nothing breaks hopefully this will at least start to to make things easier and basically basically that's it thank you [Applause] you said that this was the yell at forked bar chi-x TCL I is this still on a four cores that been merged back into the main line of bosch EXT CLI it's still four but eventually which will it will go back I would be curious at least to know what the name of the fork is if maybe I just missed that but was that in the was that in one of the slides it should be a dent of the slides there's anything for the actual github yet awesome quicken question I have is I I was expecting some graphical representation I'm guessing that you have something like this maybe you were thinking of a bunch of packages for this right yeah only only only thing with that is that whenever we started to do the presentation for the graph in d3 it got very messy very quickly because there's so many things there's around a hundred links any deployment let's say or even more that's the BCF deployment and it will look bunch of lines all together so at the beginning it's not that helpful actually as it seems it's only the basically we only left it at this point I see yep any other questions Oh Tommy yeah all right no that's a different question from the first question how old does this work when you're I assume y'all are currently offices admin locally how does it work like if I'm a user like I'm on a team and I've got like some teams coke configs kicking around and stuff like that how old is this to work if I don't have full admin privileges to the director it will show you whatever the partial I can show you so all the deployments that the BA CLI show you all the conflicts that will show you so everything that technically this tool is only shelling out to the CLI and whatever permissions that the client that you are logging in with it will has it will show you so if there was weird behavior it's really more a question of like that would be weird behavior in the CLI because this thing just uses the CLI take exaggerate all the venom or maybe some of the business logic whenever we're aggregating all those endpoints together okay cool thank you thank you [Applause] | Cloud Foundry | UC0ZYS0Y7b5oiVLvxGf4magw | 2018-10-16 | Creative Commons Attribution

neY4wcNwPaA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neY4wcNwPaA | Rook and Queen on the board for both sides, 1 extra pawn - Advantage of 5.4! Can you believe that? | hs lovers welcome back to the chess yard this is the bhaga and today i'll be taking you through one of the interesting chess games that i played and now i was playing as black in this and i played the karo khan defense it was very instructive i felt and i thought i'd show it to you guys so let's begin with the game it started with d4 i responded with c6 knight f3 by operand and striking the center d5 now open plays e3 i developed the bishop over to g4 pinning the knight temporarily because of queen behind it and open goes for early c4 now c4 generally means that open a pawn break eventually and get the rook on the c file and then continue attacking so i played e6 just trying to solidify the center so that if my opponent now takes i can take back with the e pawn as well sovereign develops the knight on c3 and i tried to pin the other knight as well by bishop uh on to b4 open tries to kick that away by playing a3 so i had to take the knight rather than retrieving it and then operand pushes the pawn forward i place my bishop backwards so i'll be just wasting my time moving the bishop only so i took on the knight opponent does take back and then i go with knight d7 developing my knight open tries to kick the bishop away i tried to retain the pin for as long as possible open place c5 and that is weakening already now i went ahead with knight to f6 first and then knight i played a b6 straight away now the idea behind b6 is simple if you take i can take back with the knight i can take back with the pawn anything is fine and then i can proceed with my attack from the queen side because i'll be casting kingside and queenside will be opened up so a lot of activity expected on the queen side my opponent plays queen to c2 here uh a dubious move i would say because that spoils his pawn structure as well and uh and then he just followed up with pawn to g4 trying to kick my bishop backwards and that helps me in a way because once i place my bishop backwards i'll be hitting the queen as well so not a good move at all and here my opponent tries to defend the situation by asking me to exchange the light squad bishops so i did that up and takes back with the queen now i have a move pawn forward with two c4 which pushes my open queen backwards again to some square and i'll be gaining the control of the center soon with knight coming to e4 and that would hit a pawn to upon c3 as well so knight over to e4 would be a very tough piece to maneuver from there as well yes knight can go back and then try to exchange but who knows uh i can also get my other knight onto f6 connecting both of them so eventually my knight will replace my knight so this is already better for black and that's why the evaluation bar also says 2.8 in favor of my side now queen goes back here and i went with 94 trying to gain access to the center and then a5 i can go with uh queen f6 as the best move uh but i was thinking if open plays king up straight away then he gets a good access to the center as well with the king he can develop the bishop later the rooks will be connected and i don't have any further attack going into hitting the knight maybe uh maybe there was a move which could have got my knight backwards and then my opponent can also take that's another possibility so uh i thought it was a bit tricky so i didn't went ahead with it and here i played a5 open tries to now prevent me from castling by placing the bishop over to a3 now this controls the f8 square so i cannot cancel it would be an illegal move so rook comes on to the open file always place your rooks on the open files that's a simple funder that you should always remember and now open castles finally now that's a weak castle i would say because pawns are hanging uh the knight is also pretty much not defended so can we take an advantage now here was one another in another instructive move here rook to b3 now rook b3 does is takes control of the third rank now i'm trying to attack the pawn on c3 as well with my rook and once i take you cannot take back because knight defends the c3 as well so this pressurizes the c3 square further here my operand uh tries to defend that by placing bishop onto b2 and then i just castle first on the king side open and tries to exchange rooks and i got my queen into the picture as well now queen to b6 so that if opponent takes i have a choice to take with the queen and exchange maybe get my rook behind my pawn and then just push forward uh here my opponent does take best move is to take with the queen but i decided to take with the pawn instead because i wanted this pawn to be a big pain to him in future and i thought this would be a nice way to proceed also i had ideas of pawn break on the c5 legs so that my knight also my second night also comes into the picture hitting the pawn as well and then suddenly i'm pushing both the pawns the rook will also come into the picture defending them so i thought this would be a good position to play from here my opponent plays queen d3 and i went with c5 as my plan was operand tries to exchange knights here which was the right move but i first played pawn forward which was actually bad i should have first taken on the knight this can be tricky because open can take the pawn here first and after if i now decide to take i lose my knight and the center pawn as well so my pawn structure is kind of uh still okay it is just making sure that the bishop is inactive through the rest of his life whatever is remaining uh so that's why still black is ahead but i lost a bit of advantage there if my opponent does take but he doesn't take and uh so in the in the game open goes back with the knight and i after i play pawn forward queen moves back on to e2 i take on the knight open does take back and then i just place my queen over to c6 now queen c6 does couple of things it hits the bishop it hits the pawn on a4 and then also it prepares the open file for rook to be active also the square b6 can now be attacked with the knight so that i'll be hitting the pawn again with couple of pieces that's what happens opponent tries to defend the pawn and i went with knight to b6 here my operand tries to play bishop over to a3 and i get my rook over to b8 and in this position my opponent resigns understanding that a lot of threats are coming on his way if he does go to bishop if he does places bishop backwards which is the best move in the situation as the computer i can take back and open cannot take because queen defends it and if he moves the bishop back again it would be bad news so the best move is to do back on with queen over to c2 now i can choose to take the knight as well that would not even worsen my situation because after queen takes i'm pushing this pawn forward and all i need to do is now exchange the queens and i'll be winning comfortably because of this amazing pawn chain if you see from seventh to third rank all everything is of my pawns controlling the light squares and as computer would say this soon i would say let's see what computer best moves are pawn over here you can go for a pawn break straight away because after opening that stick you go here trying to attack the pawn if tries to save the pawn you take this one and suddenly you are just going to gobble all the pawns of course queen cannot move if queen moves you are just pushing away with the pawn and it would be tough to control it from queening so that is not an option for the opponent operant can take here but then again i'm coming in with the queen that would be tough to maintain control as well because meanwhile i'll take all the pawns and then eventually i'm going for a queen exchange soon because after a few moves queen here is a winning move as well because after queen takes i take back and operand has to go back on the last rank and then once he does of course rook can also come in between and then of course not before saving the last rank weakness which can be troublesome so just first defend that and then yeah you can go ahead with the situation maybe move the king may push the pawns something can be done out of it definitely and it's completely winning so i hope you like the video do let me know your feedback keep watching and sharing do subscribe to the channel if you haven't already by now and i shall see you again tomorrow with another interesting video of mine thank you so much for your time take care bye | Chessyard | UC4U5yCEV7tlv-pHS3yz6fdQ | 2021-01-29 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en |

IXa3yb0Q5QM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXa3yb0Q5QM | Quantum Statistics 32 a : Scalar Speed - Maxwell Boltzmann Distribution 1/3 | okay in this video i'd like to continue on with my tutorials on quantum statistics this is tutorial number 32 and i'm going to discuss the maxwell boltzmann scalar speed displays distribution and actually a few other things other few other maxwell and distribution functions so just to point out i have a new website it's university physics tutorials.com the previous videos to this one are density of states number density occupancy i did quite a few videos on the density of states in scalar and velocity space i discussed the meaning of alpha and beta and i also discussed max of boltzmann distribution function and i'll be proving any of these again i'm just going to be using all of these results in order to do the maxwell boltzmann formula so a quick bit of recap we saw in a previous video that in general for discrete states the number of particles in a particular macro box or the s max macro box n sub s is equal to the number of states in the s macro box multiplied by the probability of occupancy now if you want to understand that more look at my video density of states number density occupancy in order to calculate the total number of particles we then need to sum all of these answer bases problem is of course that it is the sum and sums are difficult to perform so because the numbers are quite large we're able to generalize this or kind of make an assumption that we're able to go from a sum to an integral in fact that means we no longer talk about n sub s we talk instead about n a function of something whether it be energy or n a function of momentum and a function of velocity so what we're saying here this is for example this would be the number of particles with energy e the number of particles with momentum p the number of particles with the velocity v okay and if we go to this integral or this continuum uh style then we no longer talk about g we talk about rho and we say it's a function of energy and we still have the occupancy function all right great stuff so how do we get the total number of particles the total number of particles is the integral of n of epsilon d epsilon okay and the energy of course is equal to the integral of epsilon n of epsilon d epsilon something i'm sure you've seen quite a few times in actual fact that's what we use in order to calculate alpha and beta speaking of an alpha beta [Applause] we know that the max boltzmann function for classical particles is equal to e 1 over e to the alpha plus beta epsilon i showed that beta for all particles is 1 over kt but i also have this strange functional form here for e to the minus alpha and we see that it is dependent on the particle it's dependent on things like the volume and the mass number of particles and of course temperature even though at temperature in terms of beta it's a constant for the uh the um for the situation being investigated so what i'm going to do is i'm going to plug both of these straight into my formula so when i have n of e is g times rho v excuse me rho v times f v so we now have f of e what about rho v what about the density of states in energy space now i showed i proved this in a previous video as well the density of states in energy space okay so where do we start with the density of states in energy space well the one that i showed anyway was the volume divided by twice pi h bar cubed square root of 2 m cubed root epsilon so i'm going to put in is this multiplied by all of this together and i'm going to get the number density or the number density energy space or the number of particles in with energy epsilon okay so let's go ahead and do that you're just gonna like it's only a small bit of algebra so we get the number of particles of energy epsilon d epsilon is equal to twice pi n 1 over pi k t to the 3 divided by 2 root epsilon if then the boltzmann factor e to the minus epsilon over kt and then we have d epsilon okay so we'll find here that there is the uh simplified version of ether minus alpha times the density of states okay just just a small bit of algebra so this uh this is the density of states or the in energy space and if you plot that it looks something like this and in units of kt so would say this would be about this is about one kt this is about three kt so you find in actual fact very few particles ever have energy above three kt okay but that's beside the point so now we have the number density in energy space or the amount of particles with energy epsilon so where do we go from here well we need next i want to scale to scalar momentum or we go off the scale to scalar velocity well how do we scale to momentum well we know that e is equal to p squared over two m okay so that means that uh p is equal to square root of two m e as well okay so what we're able to do is really get a functional form for d e so let's go ahead and do it so d e or d epsilon is equal to del epsilon del p dp is equal to one half one over two m times p is equal to p over m times dp so that means that del epsilon is equal to p over m dp or we could say that dp is equal to m over p d e uh sorry pdp is mde would say that as well all of those are pretty much the same thing so what we need to do is plug this into the following we have up top and rearrange so let's go ahead and do it once again it's just pretty simple algebra okay so if we go ahead and do that we're going to get the following formula we're going to get n this time as a function of momentum dp is equal to 4 pi n i'm going to get 1 over 2 pi m kt to the 3 over 2 p squared e to the minus p squared over 2 mkt dp and that is the density of states in scalar momentum space and finally let's go get this density of states in scalar velocity so we know that p is equal to m v dp is equal to m dv so we see there is actually a factor of m in the difference so it should be pretty straightforward and pretty obvious that the next density of states in the scalar at in scalar velocity space okay is 4 pi n 1 over 2 pi m k t to the 3 over 2 mv squared e to that minus mv squared over 2kt dv okay and this is known as the maxwell boltzmann distribution formula for the distribution of velocities in a gas and believe it or not this is around since about 1860 so these guys were these were these guys are pretty damn smart so they were so just to plot that and see it see the difference so this time we're plotting in a function of the velocity and we have velocity on the x-axis and it looks something like this sometimes it's actually not quite that small like this okay and that's really all i've got to say about that so not as difficult as people i think make out so thanks for watching please pass it on to your friends subscribe to my channel and you might also check out universityphysicstutorials.com thank you | Adam

guess I haven't um used YouTube live since I got a few updates so like a lot of the buttons and what the presses I don't know y'all I don't know anyway I was talking to y'all about my lock Journey right and I guess I had it where is that I guess y'all can comment or nobody could say nothing or something I don't know but y'all I just want to show y'all my lock Journey right this what I was saying on the last video I just got these retwists like maybe five days ago okay and this how they look y'all I started this in December this starting in December I hope I'm holding the camera right y'all cuz I don't know how to ro this camera I hope y'all can see him cuz I don't really know how to work the camera like that yeah I don't know how to R the camera like that y'all but I hope y'all see him I hope everybody is having a wonderful Sunday um y'all I just been home today preparing my house for this work week cleaning up organizing stuff cooking scrubbing walls scrubbing floors washing folding clothes um lighting smudge incense just doing everything I got to do for this work week you know far as getting my house together cuz y'all I I'm telling y'all I don't have time to clean up I can't clean up every day you know I clean up real good about three times a week and this was one of these days when I just did a real deep deep deep cleaning you know so uh maybe like in a couple days the only thing I probably got to do is like wash dishes do my toilets I do my toilets once a day now let all just Cal down but I'm talking about just like clean up every every everything y'all like I just did it all like y'all look I'm burnt out y'all probably think I got off a gummy or something like I ain't did no gummy or nothing like I'm just tired like I just did everything y'all I was on the floor like in your mama like I've been scrubbing walls toilets everything I got three bathrooms y'all I have three bathrooms so I got to do three toilets of two full bedrooms and one half so I'm kind of like burnt out but I want to come on here and do live on YouTube because um I want to start doing my country Wang lives on YouTube too and I might be getting two new devices this week so we can start doing our lives on there because I ain't hi behind nobody camera okay y'all know trip this trip Laugh In the Flesh right here okay but yeah I promise y'all to see my locks and my journey and stuff so now y'all can see it I hope y'all got a real good look if I got to I'll just take some pictures and upload hey arriel hey Sis hey sh enough tell my niece I said hey hey y'all shout out to my M hey beautiful Essence hey y'all I ain't doing nothing thank you I ain't doing nothing y'all just I'm chilling now I'm waiting on all my linens I washed all my linens all my blankets everything I'm just waiting on that stuff to get dry and um I'm about to hop in shower and I'm about to just chill y'all I got to be at work in the morning and some days I like to try to get a workout in before I go to work and this is one of those days like if I don't get the workout in tomorrow before I go to work I won't be able to get to the gym until Wednesday so this one of those days I got to get at the gym at about 8:30 in the morning and um we got to do a couple computer classes at my job that starts at 10:30 a.m. in the morning so I'm not I ain't been smoking I promise y'all I'm just tired let me turn my light up I ain't been smoking nothing I ain't been smoking I don't smoke I don't smoke but we got computer classes that we need to complete at my job they start at 10:30 so I want to get to the gym about 8:00 and stay there till about 9:30 in the morning get me another shower and then go to work and do these computer classes the the computer classes are for four hours okay so I don't work a full day at work we can leave after we do these Compu computer classes but yeah y'all look at my the dreads and stuff okay I got to clean my ears out with these piercings y'all I be sleeping on them I done messed them up this one won't this one won't just heal for for some reason this one won't heal I got to clean it with some peroxide but yeah y'all this my little um my lock journey and stuff my sister how life right I promise you ain't High hey y'all I'm not high I would make I would tell y'all like I'm grown if I listen if I was high I tell y'all trip not high I would have told y'all like I always tell y'all like if I had me a drink or something I'll be like y'all just have me a cocktail or something if I ate a gummy I'll tell y'all but I ain't had nothing thank you Bona but yeah y'all I just want to come on um YouTube live because I don't be on here and U I want to show y'all my locks but I promise y'all next time the same day I get them retwist I'mma come on here and I'mma show them to [Music] y'all and um I don't know y'all I be scared to like I be scared to buy Electronics Electronics off Facebook Market because you just you just don't never know what somebody is selling you right you just never know right you just never know but I got to trust it because I don't listen I I mean I'm not g to say I can't afford it but um I don't have to get all my electronics brand new so I might buy some off somebody and I might buy some brand new with a warranty because right now I'm just working with one device y'all I don't know what happened but I didn't use my laptop pop for about a whole year and now and now my laptop it won't come on or it won't charge and I don't know why I don't know I don't know why y'all I don't know it won't charge up it won't come on now the light the light on the um battery charge when I put it in the wall but it won't charge my laptop up it won't come on it won't do nothing so yeah and that's I when I especially when I do country Wayne reactions I want to be able to see his slids I want to be able to see his slids and stuff so we can have two devices but yeah y'all my birthday coming up too y'all it's about to be tour season but wait a minute hold on shout out to all the Aries though first we not about to do these Aries like that okay cuz dorine okay she been my A1 since day one we not about to do that two stronger Aries now we not about to do these Aries like that be Love's life just had a birthday happy birthday be Love's life girl if I didn't tell you already but we not about to do these Aries like that because I love me some Aries okay I love me some Aries so shout out to all the Aries on YouTube okay if y'all kids Aries tell everybody I say happy birthday any of y'all loved ones or whatever whoever y'all know whoever y'all mess with um happy birthday to all the Aries what's going on S be respectful in the chat to avoid from being blocked okay who who being disrespectful I ain't even said nothing I ain't even did [Music] nothing I a said nothing I did nothing y'all look at all the dreads can't believe I little hell locking up y'all some of them done locked up already some of them started I just can't I don't know how to control my camera y'all I am so lame like y'all listen y'all think I'm this and that like I am so lame in real life like for real like for real like y'all know me in real life y'all like trip is so lame like I don't even know how to control my camera are you streaming on two platforms I have no dots I'm not I wish I knew how get I thought I needed a whole another device to do that see that's what I'm saying I'm about to this I'm about to do my research and look some stuff up cuz I don't I I don't know I don't even I just didn't even know how to control YouTube live I just know how to control stream yard so oh oh no where you see three dots hey Cena shout out to my mod and my sisters that's in here supporting me hey y'all hey everybody in the chat hey Raven y'all I'm not talking about nothing I'm just over on here rambling I'm just rambling I just rambling talking girl y'all ain't talking about nothing hey Melissa M y'all ain't talking about nothing and I saw how they tried to do Jasmine last night I saw they tried to do jasm way last night shout out to Jasmine Way for standing her ground in these YouTube streets girl I ain't stud them people over there because if Jasmine was coming out here bashing feel they'll be all up on her tip right now all on her tip but the fact that she didn't bash Philly Phil at all even if she would have said just one bad word about Philly Phil you know what I'm saying she she wouldn't got all that done how they was trying to do and it's like you know you got to be a real life weak or just not weak though but you got to be some see when a woman know who they are they don't let what other people say to them Define who they are or what people say about them you know all them [ __ ] and hoes and stuff some some women that don't move them and Jasmine say she one of them and I'm one of them too that's that [ __ ] don't bother me you can sit up and call me a [ __ ] a hoe a [ __ ] uh all the names in the world and it would not bother me at all period that stuff don't move every woman all that [ __ ] and ho and all that stuff that stuff don't bother everybody you know I wasn't bothered about it like even though it wasn't said you know one said towards me but when I was listening to the live last night I'm like this [ __ ] you know like I know for a fact I can feel it in my soul that that was not bother than Jasmine when he was saying all that I knew it wasn't cuz it is it go over your head he said he do that for the people in his in his chat that do something for them so you say [ __ ] and ho and all that other stuff CU it do something for people in your [Music] chat no ain't nobody stutting him I'm just sitting right here I'm like oh my God God that live last night y'all that live last night was so pathetic right and so I just I put myself in Jasmine shoes you know I'm like this is pathetic I know dang going well this girl not going to wake up feeling no way about this at all un bothered like that laugh was just stupid it was stupid and it's just because I know if she would have came out here and she would have just you know if she would have just put all this on Philly field right that laugh wouldn't even went like that it wouldn't went like that so hey Tyler yeah you got to be ignorant you got to be bashing Philly Phil they wouldn't even did a live on that girl they just admitted that they not they didn't say nothing about her since January and now she came out here voiced her opinion about be Nicole and she didn't say anything wrong you know she didn't say nothing wrong about being you know and so yeah that's crazy but Jas way girl finish over there doing your thing you know do your thing big sis you big sis do your thing girl okay say what you want to say come on these platforms and voice your opinion and react to whatever you want to react like you told they ass period you know that's why I like about Jasmine jine say she go talk about what she want to on her platform regardless what the next person got to say that she don't care you don't supposed to care you don't supposed to keep it bottled in either and if somebody don't come out here and and do a video like um uh that girl did not the mama did if you just see some of these YouTube streets and you want to voice your opinion on the dude know I'm going to do it I'm definitely going to do it I might priv with the video after the words to take it down but I'mma do it cuz sometimes my stuff don't come out the right way you know I ain't on these YouTube streets and don't see myself if I do it live and I private or take it down because it came out the wrong way some days I know how to get my words out some days my mouth is very Reckless and gutter and it comes out the wrong way okay and it might give out the wrong message so but yeah this ain't one of those days this one of them days I'm just chilling right now I a it can come out the right way but I said what I had to say already and um yeah so what is these people coming from with these um go ahead so cute s it's getting long and looking healthy thank you yeah it grew some y'all I could really stretch it all way down here and stuff now I already had drapes before I got the dreads well I'm just waiting on my the ends and stuff to lock up because this stuff right here at the top done start locking up some of these unlocked up y'all for real real and then y'all my retwist $85 I be like dang I don't know why maybe because I got a lot of hair um I do got some real thick hair y'all I got a whole lot of hair y'all see my real hair already I had a whole whole lot of hair I a whole lot of hair and um my retwist be um yeah my twist me $85 every time I go hey n father my squad hey Aiden hey fighting the evil hey y'all what's going on I ain't doing nothing here but chitchatting talking about my girl Jasmine Way okay jasine way is not playing these YouTube streets leave that lady alone did y'all hear truth her call her a peasant last night oh my God girl she called J ping last night I'm like wait a minute now you call that girl peasant last night and you look came out here in these streets out there in them streets or wherever you from whever city and state you from you call that girl a peasant and you done appli for social security like 30 times baby that's crazy how that girl peasant last night at least that's who I thought she was talking about thought she was talking about um thought she was talking about Jas way but whoever she was talking about girl you can't call nobody no peasant and and you done tried to fill out for Social Security three or four times girl girl you claim the can't pissing like you can't piss or stand up or wash your ass or wash dishes or none of that girl B that was the wrong word to use to me yeah we got M Squad in here the locks going to get thick and and pretty though there he is Melissa thank you I can go for little chitchat in Detroit okay all this um tattoo say Egypt I gotta go watch um n father he did a um he did a tour for y'all last night I got to go watch it y'all I be forgetting sometimes I watch y'all stuff and I be forgetting to share it out I barely share my stuff out y'all don't take it personal cuz I don't I don't take I don't take it personal when people don't share me out you know um I watch and support everybody I just I I do lives and forget to share my own lives out like I I got so many lives on my Channel right now that I probably didn't even share out on my own Community post I'll don't be sharing stuff at I be forgetting I'll be watching it and um hitting the like button or I comenting if I can comment in there and then I be forgetting share out but yeah y'all I want talk about nothing just talking about that bum ass laugh they did last night okay all them Bombs over there bom me as a [ __ ] [ __ ] I want to come on here and show y'all my lock process they they are thick though I got some thick ass hair come on they thick y'all I'mma keep y'all updated y'all see my little Grays in the front see little stuff in the back so y'all can see stuff trying to show y'all I want to give y'all the good view so y'all can see the progress next time I come back and show y'all I be forgetting to show y'all y'all my man be all over the place I work two jobs and be doing all this stuff to try to stay busy I be forgetting stuff best night of my YouTube life [Music] yeah yeah yeah y'all CH y'all I'm up out of here y'all thanks to everybody that came in the live hope y'all have a nice blessed Sunday everybody make sure y'all stay positive stay prayed up shout out to all mys and everybody that commented shout out to Abel s and show enough mys I love y'all everybody that commented make sure y'all thumbs up the live shout out to Jasmine's way okay you feel me make sure y'all go check out Jasmine Way um videos and um live streams and um up went live too y'all I got to go watch it make sure y'all go check out up live I think she um probably responding to the events that happened here the last couple days on you YouTube and make sure if y'all having go check out chub's live cuz we was over there um Friday cutting up make sure y'all support everybody and subscribe everybody name that I mentioned and if I mention your name don't don't take it personal it's just that I I probably forgot and and don't remember oh make sure y'all go check out n father too and subscribe to his channel and who else in here got a channel thank you everyone for stopping by supporting our s

qtkfkqo4TFQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtkfkqo4TFQ | College Admissions News! New UK visa law, Varsity Blues, SCOTUS, and esports! | it's welcome to the score channel it has been a couple of weeks since i went live for you guys we had the thrilling conclusion to the discover university series and i took a week off to celebrate my virtual graduation what can i say you know i need a little bit of time for number one and we got some interesting stuff coming up and i also want to talk about some news that's hitting the world of college admissions that i've been seeing over the last couple weeks and i want to talk to you guys about a little bit and share some thoughts as well as some plans for what's coming up on the channel related to some of this news actually so we're going to get into all that today uh next week the plan is to do a little q a as well like an open q a week you know this is like a really good time to kind of check some stuff out because like we got a whole bunch of people that have just finished deciding which colors they're going to go to and they're getting ready to move and then you got a whole bunch of people that just finished school and they're going to be starting to think about this whole topic so like this is kind of that moment where it's the down season like the off season but there's a lot going on so i want to talk to you guys about some of the stuff that's happening in the world of college admissions today um interesting news coming out of the uk that i want to start by talking about because i think it's pretty interesting uh i'll show you guys this a little bit um there's actually this article came out very recently about the united kingdom having a new work visa rule and it is tied to the universities that people go to and i think this is like a really interesting case right it's actually gotten a lot of criticism and a lot of controversy just because of who it works for like who it benefits and who it completely ignores so um i think it's good like i've talked on this channel before about how the uk has become a much more difficult channel a difficult country to study in for international students like international students have been getting blocked and blocked to the uk ever since brexit you know you have lost a whole bunch of easy access for europeans prices have gone up and then you look at like the way that the uk handled the visa scandal with the toeic test and everything it's really just been a bad run of problems for international students looking to go to the uk and so this rule is sort of like the next move from that now they even quoted this phrase attract the best and brightest workers and that is something that theresa may has really emphasized a lot like this current government has really emphasized this idea of bringing in the best and the brightest like we don't want the crappy ones we only want the good ones and this law is actually one of the most significant visa changes in the uk by far so the way it works is that if you have a bachelor's or master's then you can apply directly for a two-year work visa and bring your family this is like a full-blown immigrant visa no questions asked there's just one condition and the one condition is that you must have graduated from a top 50 university and that is really the controversial part of this topic because the vast majority of these top 50 universities are in the united states and the majority of them are very technical schools um you know they they establish actually down here some of the more like specific requirements i'll zoom in on that a little bit for you so it actually says that you have to appear in the top 50 rankings of two different rankings right so for you to qualify and get this easy access work visa to the uk you first have to have graduated from one of these top 50 schools and your school must be in the top 50 in at least two rankings now they only have a authorized three different rankings uh that would be the times higher education world university rankings and then there's the qs world rankings and then there's these guys the academic ranking of world universities which is also known as the shanghai rankings they're the main rankings that are used in china so basically if your university is in the top 50 on two of these then you can get a work visa to the uk and you can bring your family bring your wife bring your kids bring everybody um as long as you graduate in the last five years so they're gonna publish the list online as far as like their analysis um and and again most of these again two dozen u.s universities a handful you know in a few other countries but the controversy kind of comes into play where they talk about how like no african university there's a lot of countries that won't have a single university on this list and i mean yeah that's what happens because rankings are generally very biased towards english-speaking locations and the reason for that is that like english-speaking universities tend to collaborate more on an international scale they tend to publish more research in english and that is one of the biggest drivers for rankings i've talked about why rankings are a load of crap on this channel before i've said it many many times rankings suck and the biggest factor for rankings is that they all they got to do is really pump a lot of money into science and publishing papers and having a lot of like tenured professors and they can really boost their rankings very quickly so you know that's great maybe for the doctoral candidates you know then you can say well okay they participated in research and it was really significant but like for the guy at the bachelor's level that doesn't really matter and i can tell you right now that like yeah university of michigan probably appears on this list but there's a ton of other good universities in michigan that would prepare you very well for a successful life in the uk and unfortunately the uk is just doing this whole best and brightest thing and it's it's basically gotten to the point where like the only immigration that they want is this like top tier s-tier immigration and i just feel like they're leaving so many good talented people on the outside looking in but that seems to be what they want and you know when you look at the countries that most of these universities are from it just feels like they're very specifically targeting you know a certain range a certain area um yeah here's actually the list of the universities you can check this out here so these are the ones that like if you graduated uh qualifications awarded between november 2021 and october 2022. so if you graduated just recently from school uh from university then you can get in so we're talking about caltech columbia cornell duke harvard johns hopkins mit nyu and northwestern princeton and stanford it's like all the ivy leagues and like then the best hits you know uh cal all like three of the ucs i mean there's a ton of great universities here but like they're leaving out so many good ones i mean ut austin pennsylvania and michigan again we're talking about ivy leagues or like near ivy league level but then you got places like purdue for engineering that our top 10 engineering schools they're not going to show up here you know and i just think it's kind of ridiculous that the uk is basically saying yeah we'll let people come in and move in if they've graduated basically from the most elite of the united states uh outside the united states you see there's a handful of options from switzerland um you got what here kyodo university from japan a couple from singapore uh you know psl from france uh ubc from canada and university of toronto for canada i think those are the only two oh and mcgill so like your top three canadian universities are here too but yeah it's it's just very very elitist to say the least um and i'm not a fan honestly of this whole system i think it's kind of ridiculous that also because you have to have graduated in the last five years like it seems to me to be a strange policy because you could have a very accomplished adult who graduated six or seven years ago from an ivy league school and now they can't immigrate to the uk but like a fresh graduate who hasn't even gotten a job yet could theoretically go to the uk and like work there like i'm not it's not clear to me who they're trying to attract or who they're trying to benefit with this um but this high potential individual visa it's definitely code for like we want wealthy successful individuals we don't want anybody else i'm not a fan honestly of this decision but that's what's going on in the uk right now a lot of people talking about this um you know we may have to revise some of our guidance for students looking to study abroad especially people looking to study in the uk we've had a lot of issues regarding that um so you know here at scoreboard we're trying to give people good recommendations for places they can go and also succeed in and honestly we've been recommending the uk less and less because as much as a lot of people want to go there it's just not the best option for a lot of students these days so i got to say if you think about the uk you might want to think twice you might want to look at some other options so that's that's the latest uk news i want to get into uh some more american news now that pretty much everything else here i got is related to the united states i want to give a shout out to northwood university northwood university your rocket league collegiate rocket league champions uh congratulations to northwood from midland michigan i've been out that way i haven't had the chance yet to do a university episode at northwood but uh i hope to uh i was watching rocket league collegiate series over the weekend and i saw that these guys won and super proud of michigan boys um interesting like these guys their esports they not only do they actually have an esports program for you know competing in all these different games like league of legends and overwatch and madden and all that stuff and fortnite but they also have a major in esports management so you could actually learn esports while you play esports here these guys just won the rocket league championships and i'm working on some ideas for some content related to esports because i have been in contact with some esports players uh and in particular i'm really looking for like rocket league because that's my game of choice um but i want to interview some of these guys i want to talk to some of these guys i want to know what it's like to play uh for an esports team at the college level and some of these guys get scholarships some of them get you know because like northwood's a division 2 ncaa school and if you're division 2 that means that you can give scholarships to your student athletes and there are more universities now considering their you know students to be student athletes uh even if they're just playing esports like the the term athlete has really been expanded in recent years and i think it's awesome like i think this is a great shift a great change for you know people who are looking to get into that scene maybe they want to be involved in the athletic scene a little bit but they don't have the physical athletic skills to get them onto like a normal traditional sports team the fact that esports now has that kind of potential is awesome i think it opens up the doors for so many people and it's definitely the way forward like i i'm firmly believing that like esports is going to grow it is going to explode in popularity it already has uh but i think it's just going to keep growing from here and while it always takes you know the old people at the university a little bit of time to kind of catch up i'm already seeing trends that tell me that we're getting there soon um you know when i was at milwaukee school of engineering i went to their new athletic facility that they built a couple years ago it's a it's a whole city block it's a massive structure it's got like a soccer field on top of the building like on the roof and then like below that there's the gym and the track and doors there's the swimming pools there's a hockey stadium down below in the basement and then they also had a bunch of computer labs and i was like what's up with these and they're like that's msoe esports and they had their own section a whole part of the building dedicated to esports so that they're in the same spaces as the athletes like they can go down the hall and use the same showers use the same facilities as the rest of the athletes and i think it's cool that they're not you know separating the esports guys and saying no no you're not really athletes like you go over here no it's it's more like the esports guys are being treated exactly the same as everybody else and i think that's awesome um you know i was even tracking a little bit of the collegiate rocket league qualifiers before the tournament and uh our guys at siena heights almost made it in they were actually like semi-finalists they were this close to knocking out the other team and getting in which would have been super cool uh so i i love seeing that there are scholarships now for esports for all these different types of activities i think it's super cool that you have this option and if you're good at a game like if you legitimately can play comp at a high level you should let us know and like talk to us about the possibility of getting esports scholarships because it is possible and i think that there's a lot of people that would think it's not possible right they would assume no way i mean if you had told me even 10 years ago you could get a scholarship for playing video games i would have thought you were crazy that would never have entered my mind five years ago i would have said maybe maybe soon but i don't know tell me that today and i'm blown away i'm honestly blown away by the number of possibilities that are out there for esports athletes so i think it's cool we're seeing a a growth in this college esports scene in general like collegiate leagues growing i think is an important step for the professional scene as well having that sort of you know middle space just like we do in american sports like we have you know all these college players that go from basketball or and you know football into the nfl or the nba that is a very formative league and i think we could start to see the same kind of thing happen on university campuses where you know very talented individuals develop their talent at the college level and then we might even eventually someday see a draft i mean can you imagine the day where there's like the esports draft and you're drafting fortnite players from different universities or like whatever the game is right i think it's super cool that those possibilities are starting to emerge and i for one am a big fan i hope we get to see a lot more of this and kudos to northwood for getting their win on so hopefully i can go visit some more of these guys and on that note of rocket league i'm gonna be going to texas soon i got some texas news to tell you guys about too but uh i'm gonna be going to texas in about two months and i'm going for the rocket league world championships uh that are going to be held in dallas texas so i have always wanted to go see an esports event live and it's something that just seems really interesting to me so i'm gonna go and check it out over there in dallas however while i'm there i also want to visit you know some universities and i want to try to talk to some of these esports players like i have a feeling that some of the college esports guys will be there since you know it's still the world championship and if you're a big fan of the sport you might come down there for that uh so i'm gonna try to meet up with some of them try to talk to some of those guys i'll definitely be bringing my kit and we're also going to be trying to visit some universities in texas as they wrap up their summer semesters you know so it's kind of a nice window because if i get in there like at the beginning of august it's summertime there's still people on campus for summer semesters i should have no problem meeting people and talking to people on the campuses and uh you know texas it's a huge place we got a ton of possible places i'll show you a little bit of just you know what i'm thinking about right now we got i'm gonna be doing my initial outreach pretty soon to talk to different universities i'm looking at maybe flying into houston because there's a lot of low flights uh low-cost flights straight from peru to houston so i might start out there and then drive my way up to dallas for the event and if i can get in maybe a couple days earlier hit up some universities in dallas as well obviously like big hitters like texas a m are high on my list because like they're on the way college station uh if i could get access into one of these awesome universities in texas that would be just amazing and i really hope so i really hope i can pull that off uh so we're gonna be talking and reaching out to universities in the state of texas if there's any universities in texas that you really want to see like tell me about them let me know uh i like to use your comments as evidence of why i should go visit a university like i have sent screenshots to aos and been like yo i got like four or five people that really want to check out your university i make videos let's go and uh hopefully maybe someone will say yes you know that's that's the idea and i think they will um you know i've been doing this these university tours now i've done a couple and um i've gotten to the point where i you know i always get a few and now that i've done a few it's a lot easier to get more so i'm looking forward to reaching out to texas finding out what's over there you know hitting up some universities in texas and maybe we'll take a little trip out there and see what's going on and get some rocket league content made because that's what i want and and while we're on the subject of texas there's actually a university that i would really like to check out because i saw this news today and it got my attention so the university of saint thomas houston i'm going to be talking to these guys if i go there i'm i want to talk to these guys because they're doing something that you never see in the united states which is an online it's an associate degree program taught entirely in spanish i think this is fascinating um so it is online and it is only associate's degree so it's only a two-year degree but it's a start you know it's a this is like a pilot project i think that may grow into something more so a lot of people don't realize that like the united states actually doesn't have an official language like the us does not legally ever say that english is the official language of the country you can check the constitution you can go through every single law in the united states while there have been movements to codify that into law and say that english is the official language it has never been approved or anything so in the united states there is no law that requires universities to put out content in english and therefore there's also no law that prohibits them from creating material in spanish and you know you look at areas like los angeles miami texas places with a high percentage of hispanics you know a lot of latinos it makes sense that there would be some education in spanish especially at the higher level because you've got a lot of families that have immigrated maybe they didn't finish their studies back home so this could be a good opportunity for them even if their english isn't that strong and while there are always some people that kind of push back against this because they feel like hey this is america and you should speak american we speak english here go back to your country uh most people i think don't feel that way and i think most people appreciate the linguistic diversity that we have in the united states so i think it's very cool to see a university trying to do this because think of what this opens up like okay right now it's one university saying hey let's try it out they said they're gonna try to cap it at like a hundred students here i think they said around uh yeah they said they hope to attract up to 100 students the program but there's no limit so they're hoping to get more um but think about where this could start right you get you get 100 students right now in spanish well maybe pretty soon another university opens up and offers a program in another language maybe there's a university that does like a program in french right so if you want to immerse yourself in the french language and really learn and master french you could do that while living in the united states i could see very easily like having you know university programs that teach in other languages as well right other languages i mean we could start learning chinese better because we're going to need to when they take over the world uh you know german maybe you want to get your german on and get a little better at another language from europe like i think there could be programs in specific languages that would give you a really strong foundation in that language and would also benefit those large immigrant communities because like in the united states we have some very large immigrant communities and you know not all of those people learn english fluently and i think they should still have an option for higher education so it could serve two purposes it could help people who come to the u.s don't know a lot of english still want to get a degree still want to learn still want to improve their situation you know but also people who maybe want to immerse themselves in that language like i could totally see you know maybe a young american person who wants to practice in spanish taking this degree program and you know studying all in spanish i think that would be an amazing opportunity for somebody right now you do it through spanish language classes and maybe a couple of spanish literature classes and at the at best it'll be a minor you know for your for your degree but like you're probably not going to get a full 100 study experience in spanish and that's something that these guys are trying to do so i think it's very interesting and you know it also makes a lot of sense for the location obviously they say here like the area is 42 latino at this university uh which is similar to the population of the city so obviously yeah this area is ripe for this type of option but i think it is a super interesting program that they're gonna put out there um and so like they say it's you know might be people who don't speak fluent english or students fluent in english who want to strengthen their spanish skills the fact that they're offering this i think is super cool i hope that this grows i i would like to go see it and talk about it i know it's an online program you know but i would still like to go in there and just talk to these guys about this program and learn a little bit more you know this is where small universities can do big things like university of saint thomas houston i i honestly don't know much about these guys like how big are they how many how many students they got they probably don't have a lot i'm willing to bet let's uh let's see what the wikipedia says yeah there you go 2 000 undergraduates small university right small university but this is the kind of university that can afford to experiment with these things they can try some of this stuff out and that is what i think makes it very cool like you have a small university that you wouldn't normally think of as being a like progressive leader on language programs but here they are doing something big so they're gonna be one of the first ones that i reach out to if i go visit houston and uh make some visits over there because i'm really interested in what they got going on i think that this is a cool idea and it's the kind of thing that can maybe catch on and become a trend you know i would love to personally see more classes offered in multiple languages especially you know in those areas where it's justified like you could easily see a ucla offering courses that don't have to do with spanish language and culture right like just other courses like a sociology course or psychology course like business course if you just had a couple a handful of courses from different you know faculties that were offered in spanish in addition to english i think that would be super interesting i i personally if i were trying to learn another language i would love to have the opportunity to learn another you know a full course in that language that's something i did here when i studied in peru i you know took both english and spanish courses my program was bilingual and like having the opportunity to practice in both languages and study in both languages and learn in both languages really strengthened my understanding of the material especially because like sometimes you'd have a course in spanish and then another course in english and you had to take the information you learned from the spanish course bring it over to the english course and vice versa and that that really like forces your brain to process it forces your brain to learn a lot so it's it's very cool very very interesting idea so i'm down with that i think that would be cool so yeah that's that's possibly our next university tour if uh all goes well and we get you know we get where we want to go then uh we're gonna be going to houston we're gonna be doing some cool things in houston i'm looking forward to it i'm hoping that it works out i'm going to do houston and dallas we'll see i doubt that i'm going to be able to make it to austin because texas is huge man if you take a look at the map on texas it is massive it is a big state and so while they do drive super fast over there which is awesome uh it is it does take a while to get places i mean literally like driving around texas is like the whole last tour that i did the last tour that i did where i went from like michigan to milwaukee chicago purdue and back that travel distance is very similar to what it's like to drive around texas like it's texas is several states packed together so i don't know that i'll be able to visit every city in texas and visit all these universities but i want to at least get a few and if i can queue up you know two or three in those first days and then go see the rocket league event i will be a very happy person so that's what we're looking forward to now staying in the united states there's two other stories i want to talk to you all about because i think they're both very interesting uh one has to do with the varsity blues scandal if you don't know about the varsity blues scandal that was where rich people paid other people to help get their kids into colleges like super elite schools through large donations and like a lot of money under the table in most cases the parents would pretend that their child was a student athlete and they would get large scholarship money right so they could get in uh of course with the agreement being that the parents would put a lot of money into the university to help them out so essentially you know mom and dad pretend that you play high lie and you get a scholarship for high lie and then there's a magic donation the next day at the university that makes the university very happy so a lot of those cases have already been wrapped up but this is like one of the last ones and this one also i think is kind of interesting um so this one is about a guy who tried to get his child into georgetown university through the tennis program and he's about to go to trial and this is one of the last ones this guy amen curry um you know they say that he wasn't the like you know main character he didn't work with this mastermind that you know i like how they call them a mastermind uh it's not that you're not a mastermind all you did was contact people and offer to bribe them there's really really no masterminding going on there that's just you had a bunch of money in your pocket and people will fall for money i mean you know if i was an admissions officer making 50 60k a year and someone came up to me and was like listen here's a hundred grand here's 50 grand if you just help this person get in i might think about it okay not saying i would do it but i might think about it um but this guy here basically was doing the exact same thing um and you know this is there's other evidence right there's they've looked up some other evidence there's other cases involving georgetown all these universities were like very top schools very high-end universities you know like the ones that the uk would give you a visa to ironically a lot of these kids who got into these universities under false pretenses could very easily go ahead and uh you know get a visa in the uk because that's the kind of people that the uk wants right um but yeah they um you know the coach has already uh pled guilty in this probe so the coach was tied to the varsity blues probe um but this particular student case is not because this guy rick singer was like the main one and you know the coach is already under investigation like apparently he was a michelle obama's tennis coach so talk about connections man if you're teaching michelle obama how to swing a racket uh you're doing pretty good which is which is pretty cool and the coach has already been you know put uh to jail and so yeah no more than four years gotta love how they get no more than four years for like this um this kind of you know white-collar crime right you never really get um major punishments range from probation to 15 months behind bars that's the part that really bothers me is like how none of these people will actually do serious hard time and and it's i mean look it's kind of a victimless crime it's not like they hurt people physically but they didn't mess with other people's opportunities i mean directly they're getting admitted and in these schools if somebody gets admitted that means somebody else doesn't so there's definitely somebody who you know might have gotten in the ditton because of these people's cheating and bribery and it just goes to show how much shady stuff is going on in the background of a lot of these elite college admissions and i see so many people that are interested in applying to these colleges and i stop and i say why like why do you want to be in that environment man it's there's some toxicity there that you should watch out for i i understand that you can get an amazing education in some of these places and i understand that prestige might seem to have some value but it's not really that important and honestly um even if i were super rich i wouldn't pay 200 grand to get my kid to go to one of these schools i was like all right look if you're stupid then you can go to a lesser school and it'll be fine i don't care i'm not gonna like i'm not gonna force you into an ivy league school that you're just gonna be miserable at because you can't bribe people forever and that's the thing people don't realize is like you can't do this forever this this pay your way through is not sustainable don't recommend it um but that's you know this scandal continues to unfold they continue to find more and more cases of these things and so i don't know if any of you guys have seen the like netflix documentary but they did the whole like varsity blues thing on netflix about it it really goes deep into like everything they've been covered so far but like this kind of stuff happens much more frequently i think than we realize there's there's the you know the cases we hear about right there's the case that we hear about and they get blown open because they get a little too greedy a little too big and before you know it people find out but there's also other cases that we probably have never heard of there's probably cases that we've never seen and and that's the thing whenever you get into these hyper competitive environments people are more willing to do cutthroat things people are more willing to do stuff that they shouldn't do they're not as interested in ethics anymore and so just something to keep in mind like as you apply to colleges as you think about your list remember that if you are looking at these very top universities these very elite schools you're going to run into some bad people and there's bad people everywhere but there's bad people with a lot of power with a lot of money who don't care about how their actions affect other people they are just in it for themselves and i think that is a systematic problem right now in the united states talking about you know inequalities talking about the difficulties and elitism in these college admissions levels it's you know they're not all getting there the honest way like you applying honestly with our help or not you're not getting the same opportunity as someone who comes in from a wealthy family who has the ability to afford all kinds of support and care who can influence people you know and really make something that is easier for them you know make it easier for them compared to what we have to deal with so i would just say keep that in mind when you apply to these schools you're entering a race and some people are driving ferraris and you're probably not so don't be shocked when you don't get in there's a reason there's a low low low acceptance rate and there's also a reason why they're allowing everyone to apply test optional because it can make them even more money these big colleges are big business you got to understand that last case i want to talk about today uh last story this is also related to the united states and it also involves uh one of our ivy league universities uh harvard in particular is the case that i want to talk about um this i think is a very interesting topic and it's one that is poorly understood by international students but i also want to talk about it in relation to how it affects domestic students like nationals in the united states so um the united states is going to hear a case probably soon this year on the topic of affirmative action now affirmative action if you don't know is a doctrine in the united states that has existed basically since the time of integration when we had to go back to segregation when you know black and white schools were separate swimming pools were separate drinking fountains bathrooms it was all separate right and they had the separate but equal doctrine which was basically saying hey it's okay if they're separate as long as they're equal which in practice they never were it was a terrible arrangement it was horrible we then integrated and there were still many places that were reluctant to integrate they set up barriers that made it difficult for people to enter those spaces that's our jim crow era now affirmative action is meant to try to undo that it's sort of meant to encourage schools universities you know governments jobs to give chances to underrepresented groups okay underrepresented is the key word uh it oftentimes those are groups that had a history of discrimination you know like african americans in the united states but these are primarily underrepresented groups so you take a look at the data and you say well historically this place has always you know had a large percentage of white people well how do we fix that we encourage them to you know bring in more candidates from other backgrounds and universities have since embraced these policies and they are seemingly very much in favor of affirmative action and they are they want a diverse campus they're willing to bring in uni students from other backgrounds from other countries from all around the world and so they they produce this very diverse campus you know where 50 to 100 to 150 countries are represented and they are of the opinion that that is better for the campus and better for the student body i personally tend to agree i think that diversity is a good thing i think it's nice to be exposed to people from different backgrounds to not just be surrounded by a bunch of people like yourselves and um that's one of the reasons i moved to peru you know was to get away from the same kind of people to like go and experience what other people think and feel and this is where we kind of run into now a modern-day issue with this affirmative action because some people argue that it has done its job it has run its course like we have solved a lot of the inequalities we've seen the rates of admission for you know latino black asian whatever minority group you want they've all risen so some people think it's unnecessary but there's a there's a more insidious take on this that i think is important to talk about there are everybody who's against affirmative action in terms of political activism uh i mean i shouldn't say everybody i'm sure there's always people on both sides but the vast majority of the money and efforts and campaigns against affirmative action come from conservative groups and these conservative groups typically want to repeal laws that allow affirmative action to take place their argument is that it essentially is a different form of racism that uh you are essentially acting in a reverse racist way so if harvard admits a student let's say who is a pacific islander like i don't know from samoa and they're not as good on paper as a white student who has a better gpa a better sat score well affirmative action would say well take a look at the history and should you maybe give that spot to that pacific islander person because they deserve an opportunity and their family historically has not had that opportunity maybe this is a first generation student maybe this is like somebody who simply wouldn't have had the opportunity to attend here otherwise or do you just say well the white guy has better grades so i want to go with him and that's where this affirmative action topic really gets debated because the thing is they are now pushing against affirmative action precisely because they want to make it a meritocracy they say they want only merit to determine who gets into college and on paper that sounds really nice on paper when you say oh meritocracy i get in because i have good grades this person doesn't get in because they don't have good grades that sounds perfect but there's a huge problem with that and the problem with it is that those grades and that performance are often determined by socio-economic factors and i talked about this when i did a video about the history of the sat the sat was created to perpetuate the racist notion that black people were inferior the actual guy that wrote the s.a.t straight up said that if we make this test really hard and use a lot of complex vocabulary only white people will be able to answer it and black people will stay in the back like he literally said that he wrote a book where he said that i i made a video about it um and then the issue there is like okay so if testing is not totally neutral then can we really have a merit-based admission system like because the fact is if you grow up in an inner city school a mostly black school in a poor part of an inner city like in detroit where i'm from if you grow up in one of those schools you have unfortunately inferior facilities inferior infrastructure you have typically inferior teachers because most teachers just don't want to work there they would rather go to a better school and work in a better place like the whole system is not supporting those students it's not that those students are dumb it's not that they're inferior it is that the system around them is inferior those students are statistically much less likely to get a good sat score they are more likely to have disciplinary problems which will prevent them from ever applying to college in some cases so you have these people who are in a disadvantaged system and these people who hate affirmative action are coming out and saying well it should be a meritocracy we should just look at gpa and sat scores but like how are we getting those scores and that right there is the problem so what affirmative action says is like well look knowing that some people have some disadvantages we will encourage admission to those groups we'll evaluate them a little bit differently you know maybe okay maybe we'll take a look at just this group this particular racial or ethnic group and say well what's their best act score okay well it's a little lower all right let's adjust like it's fair is what i'm trying to say in my opinion it's fair these people are not taking anything away from the successful people and this is where so what are the lawsuits coming up against the supreme court the supreme court of the united states will hear two cases this year on this topic of affirmative action and if it decides that affirmative action is unconstitutional then it will be prohibited for all universities in the united states to even look at the topic of race when considering admissions they cannot use it as a factor ever again now already there are a couple of states in the united states there are several actually that have already banned this practice uh michigan did so not too long ago actually was one of the most recent ones but there are mostly most states still have affirmative action and they still allow it at the university level and most universities want it this is the interesting thing so one of the one of the lawsuits is against harvard university harvard is defending affirmative action to the court and the allegations against harvard are brought on by a conservative funded group that is representing a large number of asian americans their argument is basically that these asian americans were discriminated against because the university already had too many asians and was not going to admit more asians but they should admit more asians because these asians are more qualified than the other students that the university admits now here's the thing what i can't understand about this topic and what drives me crazy about this topic is like think about what you're crying about okay group of people that are suing harvard like i would love to sue harvard don't get me wrong i'm proud of you for sue and harvard but like you're complaining that you didn't get into harvard do you know how much of a spoiled baby you sound like i didn't get into harvard i'm only gonna get to go to a really good university like it's not like harvard is the only good university on the planet there's a bunch of other good universities if you're good enough to get into harvard you're good enough to get into almost anywhere so like why are you trying to destroy an advantage for some people who really need it just because you didn't get into harvard like what you couldn't go to a really good public school like uc berkeley or university of michigan where they already don't practice affirmative action like you could have you could have gone there but no you need to have harvard and because harvard rejected you because harvard wants diversity because harvard supports affirmative action you're going to sue them and it's gonna go to the supreme court that's insane to me that's literally what's going on right now so i share this story with you because i also want you to understand how this affects not only admissions of the united states but abroad if you're coming from abroad like they are looking for diversity in these universities and your location your i actually am doing a video that's going to come out soon on the common data set and how you can increase your chances of getting in to elite colleges like the ivy leagues in the top tens and one of the factors they take into consideration at these schools is your geographic location like where you are from and that and also race and ethnic status if that is removed then they have no way to really like treat internationals differently i feel like they will end up having to treat them all the same as all of the other domestic applicants which then maybe creates problems for the internationals because the fact is international students are oftentimes at a disadvantage if you present an sat score as an international it is so much harder for you to get a really high score how do you get a really high score in a test that's not in your first language like the s.a.t is just harder because you speak spanish as your first language because you speak you know gujarati because you speak chinese and so we're now going to have a problem where universities aren't going to be able to go well he's international i can treat him differently because i want diversity the government's about to say no you're not allowed to consider his ethnicity or race because that's racism you can't help someone who comes from a disadvantaged background if that disadvantage background is because of race never mind that we broke the system and that we made it racist in the first place and that's why they're disadvantaged you can't fix that because fixing it would be racist doing something good for somebody on the basis of race is racism essentially is what they're arguing and it's it's absurd to me now will this actually change will the law actually change when the supreme court hears this decision i don't know because i don't know what the supreme court is thinking but i will say this this supreme court is an extremely conservative supreme court and as i said this affirmative action resistance comes from conservative parties and conservative groups it stands to reason that this supreme court is likely to say no more affirmative action and when the supreme court of the united states makes a decision it applies everywhere it applies to all the states and all the counties all the king's horses and all the king's men it is everybody so that is a risk and that could have a major impact on college admissions going forward this year i am not sure yet how that's going to affect our stuff and our cases that we're helping right now we're helping a bunch of people get ready for their applications that are going to open up in like august september we're going to try to apply early because that's what you do but i i'm not sure we'll we'll have to see like if this decision comes down in the next couple of months it could literally change everything for college admissions this year it could completely up disrupt this year's application process could have a massive impact on the admission class of next year now you know then it becomes a question of well how will they evaluate students entirely obviously they're gonna have to focus more on gpa they're gonna have to focus more on things like class rank things like the sat scores and that puts us right back in the problem that we started with the problem where we have these tests you know these standardized tests that favor wealthy people people who went to good schools because their parents were born with more money people who speak english as a first language it does not promote a diverse environment it promotes a very standardized environment that's why it's called a standardized test and and we're heading back in that direction and that's what concerns me i would like to see them have full freedom i believe university should have full freedom to admit whoever they want for whatever reason they want honestly and if if a university says i want to pick all these people from this particular group they should be allowed to because that's what makes each university different if if a university says i want to be a university where only asians can study cool do it if it works great if not you go bankrupt like i don't see why we should say no you have to treat every single person exactly the same at the public level sure public universities should not be able i think to discriminate but private universities too because that thing harvard's a private university so this applies to private and public schools this is not just a decision that will only affect the public sector because that's often what happens with these things like it's often just limited to oh public universities in this state well now we're talking about the federal level and the reason that matters is because the private universities also get federal funding right they get money from the federal government when they get students who get fafsa loans so or fafsa grants so you apply for financial aid in the united states you get admitted to harvard harvard gives you a full ride scholarship but a little part of that full ride scholarship came from the government in the form of fafsa and that is how they help pay for these things so because those private universities also take federal money then they also have to follow federal rules there could possibly be some situations where maybe some private universities could continue to do affirmative action but then they wouldn't have access to federal funding that is technically maybe possible in fact the opposite of that actually happens already at hillsdale college uh i i visited hillsdale college and one of the things that i thought was interesting from my interview with alexander uh was that hillsdale has not been a fan of affirmative action and they want freedom to choose people as they please so what they have done is uh they they refuse to accept federal funding because that gives them permission to do whatever they want now that's how it currently works hillsdale can i don't know if the opposite will be true i don't know if because right now hillsdale says no affirmative action we do what we want but we don't take money i don't know if it'll go the other way around where you can because if scotus prohibits affirmative action that could be a full hard prohibition across the board with no room for freedom there i'm not sure that to be honest is a little bit above my pay grade i'm curious to see how that goes but this is you know this is kind of what the issue boils down to now is like what other factors will they use and i want to share a little bit of this article because like i saw this on higher ed dive examining some of the arguments against affirmative action and and some of the arguments saying well like look like one of them was that you know colleges and states that have blocked affirmative action have no problem creating diverse classes and they've actually found that it made very little change like it was sticking to trends that were already happening and also i thought something was interesting is like what did texas do then so when texas killed affirmative action which by the way they brought it back they killed it and brought it back so we have this like little window to study what they did was they said okay you get guaranteed admission to public colleges if you're in the top 10 of your graduating class like but notice in the state not in your school in the state it didn't help anybody you could be top 10 in a mostly hispanic school or a mostly black school but if you still weren't top 10 in the state you didn't go up and again this does not address the fact that some schools have more resources some schools have better teachers some schools and and it's not just some schools it's oftentimes the schools that are located in predominantly wealthy white neighborhoods i went to one of those schools i saw that difference myself my dad did not i went by my dad's school my dad grew up in a downtown urban environment went to a mostly black school unfortunately in the united states because of many years of segregation and practices that prohibited you know black families from accumulating wealth in the city and policies that encouraged white families to leave the city the wealth is outside of the city it's in the suburbs the nicest schools are in the suburbs the crappy schools are in the city and that's why my dad can't spell that's why i can my dad doesn't know how to spell i used to have to correct all his emails i was 10 years old corrected my dad's emails and he was a manager all right that's how it went straight up so he went to a school that you know none of those people would have cracked that top ten percent in the state and gotten in instant admission my school did madonna went to my school she turned out okay i guess so like the that's the big difference if you look at these different schools just where you live will determine how good of a school you go to as far as public schools in the united states and so where you live is now going to have a direct impact on whether you are successful i think it's ridiculous to me that like a handful of you know qualified asian american students and i and i understand the frustration i understand the feeling of like i'm i should be going to harvard i'm good enough for harvard but i didn't get in because of my race and i think at the same time it's like yeah but you realize you have every choice in front of you some people have very few choices they could it would radically change a person's life if they were from a lower class or from an underrepresented minority you take them and put them in harvard completely changes their life i think for as much crap as i talk about ivy league schools i will admit if you come from nothing and go to one of those places it will have a transformative effect on your life pretty asian-american person that was already good enough to get in there instead of going to caltech or mit they get to go to georgia tech they still get to go to one of the top five schools in the nation for their career and they still get to have an amazing job and have an amazing life like they're not losing that much but they're these groups are willing to use these people and that's the thing i think a lot of these people don't realize there the conservative group is using these asian groups to like basically flip the script right there they're using these people and instead of saying hey be grateful okay you got all the options in the world congratulations they're saying no no you were discriminated against this is racism we got to fight this racism and we're going to do it through the courts and we're going to sue the hell out of harvard and we're going to take it all back and it's looking bad honestly it's looking bad i i think that affirmative action is probably gonna die with this supreme court and i think that when that happens then we are gonna see problems for domestic students from you know the traditionally underrepresented minorities but then also we're gonna see you know international students struggle to you know make their way in and and it just goes back to why i keep saying you as an international student need to take the sat because they're gonna keep focusing on this stuff even even if they go test optional right if they can't use any other factors if all they can do is focus on like academics and merit then forget test optional sat is coming back full swing definitely and and i'm sure they'll still keep a test optional so they can make some more money because by the way acceptance rates are at an all-time low all across the country more and more people are applying to college and applying to more colleges because of test optional because they think oh i'll apply here i wouldn't have i would never have applied to harvard with my 1350 test score but let me go ahead and try now that i have i'm test optional and yeah maybe one or two people will get in but um i did the numbers i'll actually show you a little a little preview of my numbers because i was doing some research recently uh let me let me pull that up for you so um for this video that i'm working on give you a little sneak preview of this uh it's actually i shouldn't say i'm working on it it's done i just gotta make the thumbnail but uh the let me zoom in on this a little bit it's it's not very pretty i don't usually get pretty with my numbers um but anyway on the left here let me slide that over a little so you can see that yeah so these are all publicly available numbers i didn't hack any computers or anything uh we got harvard yale princeton stanford brown cornell columbia upenn dartmouth caltech i just picked like some of the top ten right all of these are ones that have data available well you got your acceptance rates here right so this is like four percent acceptance rate for harvard this is from the people that applied in 2020 to get in for 2021 right so this is the latest data available we obviously don't have any data on the 2022 entry yet because they're not there yet we'll get that data next year uh but 21 entry right 57 786 people applied to harvard 2 318 got admitted 4 acceptance rate now that is an astonishingly low acceptance rate even for harvard a few years ago that was like 7 or 8 percent um that's because test optional right but okay you would think well all right thousands of people are now applying test optional i bet the students that get in didn't put a test right they didn't provide a test result well look at this what percent of the enrolled of these guys right of these uh admitted mind you only some of them enroll right not all of them enroll right so of the percentage that enrolled from this group but everybody in this was admitted right 54 brought an sat score 31 brought an act score that's if we add those together that's 85 of these people that were admitted to harvard and enrolled presented a test score and you're telling me it's test optional like same numbers for yale 54 and 35. princeton similar 5056 35 uh again ninety-one percent nineteen uh sorry eighty-nine percent i'm bad at math um wait that's yeah that's 91 right yeah there we go again over 80 some percent though for these numbers like these universities are admitting far more of the students that bring a good test score so this idea that like oh i can just uh not take the sat and get into harvard and yell that's a lie man that was never true these are the people from the test optional year they applied in 2020 that was the year that everything got cancelled where they couldn't take the test in march they couldn't take the test in may they had to wait all the way to like june or even maybe like august november to take their sats when they finally started opening up in some parts of the country these people still went and got their sats still went and did their acts sent them to harvard and got in with their test scores and yeah some of these people okay hey 85 percent that means 15 we're test optional i'm happy for that's better than before but still it's not like test optional is what's test optional doing it's adding 20 000 applications over here and it's not really translating to a bunch of successes over here so why are they doing it money because you got to pay an application fee for each one of these they're going to make hundreds of thousands of dollars just because of test optional most of those are going to go in the garbage um there are some exceptions to this i want to give credit where it's due stanford interesting case very low acceptance rate lower than harvard but curiously their sat and act scores do reflect a very strong test optional bias like here we see only about 21 percent presented an sat or a ct score so that's a good sign that would suggest that you know they are legitimately a test optional school where you can get in test optional because 80 of this class is test optional so that is a good sign right and it varies from place to place you look at brown it's 81 again if we add these two numbers uh cornell is 41 and 20 61 pretty fair split you pen 65 35 100 percent hundred percent if you wanna get into upend you better bring a test score like this is the stuff they don't tell you they don't want to talk about the data's out there but they're not happy about sharing this i can tell you right now and my proof is in the fact that dartmouth and caltech by the way did not publish this data um these now of all these universities one of them does not publish the cds that is columbia they do not do a cds on their website they do share admission data so we have this nothing else uh the common data set though all these other universities publish it the whole thing though is optional so they can choose what they share and what they don't and they chose not to share this data about the sat and act dartmouth and caltech just left it blank pretended like that part was never even on the test why to me it says that this data probably looks pretty similar to pen because if i were this school right if i were dartmouth and i saw that my numbers look like stanford's i would want to publish those numbers i would want to say look guys look how many test optional cases we took totally changed the game brand new emissions methods for us we're so proud of our test optionals caltech 2 you would think they would say the same thing right but no no data all right now caltech said they didn't consider that's why they're nc they said they didn't consider them this year but they were accepting them so makes you wonder um but again yeah if like if dartmouth looked like stanford you think they would share it i'm guessing they look a lot more like penn what if it's even higher than 100 percent and you might think that that's crazy but it actually is possible now something that i don't know about this data i do have to say this honestly um we don't know if any of these people are double counted like what if somebody presents an sat and an act score they count for both and we don't know exactly what the distribution is i mean because hypothetically we could say 100 of the sat students also did the sat or sorry act and so the number is 65 percent right in reality that's not usually how it works it's a handful of trihards that do both tests but the point is i don't have perfect data but i can tell you that pretty much everybody at upenn brought a test result before the pandemic before this year all of these universities had over a hundred percent combined i went and did that math i was actually working on this uh investigation i started this back in the united states uh around like december when i went up there i was doing the research on the previous cdss and i saw that like most of those universities had over a hundred percent if you combine the act and sat and it got me thinking like i wonder how it's going to change so now that i'm looking at this data we're going to start drawing some connections i got my research assistants shout out to mika and kamoch working on this to gather some data and we're going to put out some deeper analysis on the channel of whether test optional is real or not how much of a lie is it where should you apply test optional where shouldn't you apply test optional like where are the universities that actually mean it when they say test optional where are the universities where if you don't bring a test score you're not getting it um this test optional thing has really made it harder to analyze the situation it's becoming more difficult to read you know the circumstances but i do believe we can figure it out i do believe we can get it done so that is my goal going forward is to do some more research into this topic uh the video that's going to come out in a couple of weeks talks about how to increase your chances to get into ivy league schools so if that's something you want to check out i would encourage you to uh you know it's we're going to talk about not just ivy leagues but like these same top universities that you saw in this excel here we're going to look at you know just what factors can increase your chances of getting in without you know paying a coach like 200 000 to bribe your way into the university we're not going to do that we're going to discourage bribery but that's basically our rundown for today in terms of like our different topics so again we covered the uh united kingdom news with the new visa rule at the very beginning uh talked a little bit about esports shout outs to the winners of the rocket league uh tournament we're gonna be doing rocket league i'm going to texas and yeah we're talking about texas universities too because we're going to go to texas in a couple of months uh yeah and you know supreme court ruling big deal i will obviously do some more follow-up news live streams in the future when maybe some big news breaks on some of this stuff uh we'll cover it again in more detail we'll talk about it the um the the mission stuff the affirmative action is really what i want to keep an eye on i think that's a big deal that has major potential impacts for our work going forward so i'm gonna keep an eye on that for you guys and let you know if that changes how that affects everything maybe make a video about it we'll talk about it it's complex topic you know anytime you get into things like race things like discrimination things like equal opportunity it's complex you know but i do believe that we should be making decisions that benefit the largest number of people who need the most benefit that is my personal approach i believe that is the right way for score to operate as well what decisions can we make that benefit more people who need benefits the way i see these lawsuits against affirmative action they don't benefit people that need benefits they benefit people who already have benefits at the expense of people who need benefits and to me while you can argue that maybe in in a perfect world i would totally agree that a meritocracy is fair right in a perfect world where everything else is equal sat scores in gpa let's do it but we don't live in that world we live in a much more complex world and we need to have complex solutions sometimes to those problems so that's my take if you care uh thank you anyway for watching and hanging out that's gonna be all for me tonight uh next week i'm gonna do a um another q a stream it's been a while since i've done a q a stream we're gonna do a q a next week and then the week after that my peruvian birthday is coming up so i'm not going to do a live stream on monday i'm actually going to do a longer thursday live stream to kind of replace my usual video content i'm going to be ranking peruvian foods and doing some other fun peruvian things so uh that should be a fun day i hope you can make that for that that'll be a good time um so i will see you next week my people thank you very much for watching have a good one | SCORE: Your College Counselor | UCBajKqR5a7m4BHy0D3kL48Q | 2022-06-07 | Creative Commons

Q4ICKncs8Q0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4ICKncs8Q0 | Leadership Lessons: Growing Sustainable Companies | DAVOS 2020 | January 24th | so welcome glad to have here my name is avi Schwab and managing director at the forum this is a short session with two of our of the forms Board of Trustees members and the way we're going to conduct this there's no moderation it's a dialogue between the two of you and you know certainly feel free to take questions from the audience if you want but the way I propose to get started is you know we have on the stage we have Andre Hoffmann Andre your chairman of masala but you're also vice-chair of rush and fourth generation business owner and fight Casey Basma CEO and chairman of royal DSM both of you if I can Andre you are known for championing and leading your organizations with purpose and we talked a lot during annual meeting about this notion of stakeholder capitalism we talked about es G's but I want to dig a little bit into the notion of purpose in turn the notion of values in a previous conversation somebody aventures that you know for the sustainability of businesses the culture may change but the values stay the same and then maybe dig a little bit into leadership what kind of leaders do we need and what needs to change today so I'll let you conduct this dialogue I will start with an opening question which is what personal experience has led you to you know to take on this very strong approach and and positioning of driving your organization's driving your business with purpose thank you well I don't think this one particular moment one particular experience which has started the process is just a realization or what's happening around the planet we have been using a business model since the beginning of the invention of the company 150 years ago accounting system system since 200 years ago we have created wealth to to grow the the planet to be not to call the planetary so mama to go to go the humanity and this system is obviously not working we're getting to a point where it is at clicking point we have environmental damages and my focus is much more on environmental on biological environmental then social or human and we're getting to a point where we need to invent a new system to continue to create the wealth we will need to increase prosperity for the planet and so part of the problem is the the the business and I hope that part of the solution will be the business as well so we need to define what what all business can play in the future so that we can help them so that so that these businesses can help humanity to go to the next stage of growth which is in front of us especially in terms of demographics so not to answer the question to the person who's not moderating so perhaps I should answer to you we need to invent something new as a coexistence among humans corporations in particular business cooperation have a great role to play in this of course not completely disconnected from the regulatory environment but as a great contributor to environment in fact if you want to avert the systemic crisis which is coming towards us we need creativity and nothing has demonstrated more creativity in the in in the past than the cooperation in the cooperation of companies working together but for me it was quite a new situation because I came in it as an owner and I think that family businesses have an edge on this you took on a publicly listed company which is a much more challenging situation so it would be interesting to hear you answer to the same question yeah thank you Andre and I and we know it's sort of well and and we have the same philosophy about that we should drive companies with a purpose for stakeholders for multi-dimensions etc but we come from a different situation because he is a company which also has a private ownership and our company is totally publicly quoted on on the stock exchange and what happened with me I was 33 coming in the Executive Committee of the company and so I made fast career in the beginning of my professional life and if I'm honest and when I made fast career I liked it at all going well with me and and then I said hey what does that mean it had more more responsibilities that more more bigger job you can impact more people not only in your company but even outside your company and I thought hey if I have more impact what do I do with the responsibility which goes together with that for our own people for the planet which we influence with our products and operations for society and mankind etc and then I start more reading about what is the role of business in the world how did the economy ever start and yet the economy ever started very simple aspired to trade one find out that he was better in catching buffaloes and the other was better in growing crops and that if you do the crops I do the puffles and then we exchanged at the end of the day and then number three four five came and then became too complicated and then we said that invent something to trade can we all agree gold is worse a lot and we exchanged with gold ok we do so you do this I do this we exchange which go and then later on this became too complicated that we said can we agree that the goals we put in the bank later on also not anymore and we have paper and we do as the paper is gold and we exchanged with paper and we call that money and we did that and later on we said this too complicated we write it down in a computer and we believe that the money is there the money is not there but only 10 percent of the money which is there is really there the rest is not secret nobody supposed to know so but the economy is just you do this I do this we exchange goods and we live all here happily here together it's not more complicated than that and the last couple of decades we derailed a little bit thinking I think that making money is to go and making money is it's not to go and and therefore I introduced in our company when I became CEO 13 years ago listen we really want to of course we need to make money and of course the company need to be successful it's not the charity foundation but equally equally we need to take care of society equally we need to take care of our planet now like Andrei is saying we are hundred percent perfect for the company when I became CEO some people said oops equally take care of society equally take care of the planet that's not a good CEO why did we nominated him this is not good for our share price now there are certain years it went very well for Drupal so today people say ok the company is successful and to pay off the planet and society so those these things can go hunting them together and our philosophy is no those two things making profit and running company successful take care of society cannot go hand in hand together they must go hand in hand together and otherwise people don't work for your company anymore they don't buy your product you lose correctly so your license to operate and it's not the philosophy now I don't know how this in in Russia but I need to say only that that from time to time we get pressure from our shareholders some loft that we take care of all the different stakeholders but often I need to say when I'm a road shows I can only differential questions nobody else all are now climate initiatives or our societal initiatives and we get pressure on all the things which we do what we do and I don't know you have a partly you have a mix infecting your company because you are partly privately owned but you're also publicly quoted do you see the difference in those group of shareholders opening absolutely there are two parts to the answer I could make one is yes being a company that is privately controlled and you had to make the distinction because we only control the company with nine percent of the issued paper the last is quoted on the stock exchange does not give the voting right is a dividend certificate and that sort of hybrid structures allows us to be family control business while being in on the market quoted on the market and under the scrutiny of financial analysts I mean thousands of analysts follow every move and we need to sort of talk to them about this quite regularly but the point I wanted to make early on is this point about the incredible restrictive nature of financial accounting you know we have chosen finance to communicate about companies with committee and that is it's it's a it's convenient it's it's useful we all know that you know a Frank is a Frank a dollar is a dollar but it is not the way society functions this is not this is not humanity humanity has a lot to do with all sorts of other phenomenon for instance there's yo-yo ma playing in the corridor which explains by all these are these empty seats anyway so the you know this is art art is not something that's linked to to to to to material goods and yet we choose to identify business opportunities only based on the profit you can make out of them that does not correspond to reality and so what our shareholding has allowed us to do at all is to bring that a part of enlightening situation we are not interested at just of an iterator we're also interested in to the contribution of our company to its purpose which is to do today what the patient means next it's easier to explain that to shareholders in the pharmaceutical business because our purpose is is health you know we the patient is in the middle we passed here 21 million people to count drugs we did not succeed with all of them but a lot of them went better thanks to us we deal with life and death and that's of course a purpose which is eminently more measurable then then than others so I think that's partly the answer but for me being able to to move between the world of MgO and the sum of the world of civil society I've been for a long time on boards of several non-governmental organisations and the board of big corporations there is a mission there there is a bridge to be built we are whole simple single humanity we're all people and we should work together for far too long we have this dichotomy where we say business is bad business makes money and on the other side NGOs and goods because they spend the money and they do something positive of it it's too simple you know we are we are cleverer than this collectively I give us the gift of offer of cleverness let's bring the two together corporations can achieve their goals can execute the purpose can come closer to what they want to do without destroying natural system or social system or or human relationships and NGOs can contemplate your notion of long term and you hability if there generates on positive cash flows so profit is not a swear word it's something we need to add to to to prove it's something we need to support but profit at all cost so I I totally agree and it's funny you say this is sometimes perceived as bad or bad people you see here two business people and NGOs who governmental media are good say the same it is not that after high school all the people without the heart went to business and all the people with a heart went to government or NGOs I mean most people have four heart by the way and and I don't believe in good guys and bad guys good ladies and bad ladies but life is much more complicated than that and when I get the question yeah but why do you really want to take care of the planet that said what is secretly behind that is a secret business model to make money fire those narratives no because I have kids because I think about the world because I would like to transfer the world when we leave to another generation that is what we want building on that it helped me under where did we went wrong if I go back to my philosophy that the economy should help to live over here happily together that's basically the model you do this I do this we exchange we all the family here together and money it's just good to exchange and not more than that there's only one country in the world tiny little country Bhutan who said basically what we should do is happiness for the people and if we achieve that if everybody in the country is happy we achieved what we want to achieve there's only one tiny little country did the others measure their success GDP grows loose dirt and state deficit and run it beloved groans move that is how he and your philosophy how come there's only one tiny little country who sticked to how we ever started all the other countries in the world a little bit I think humanity in general and humans in the group have a tendency of behaving a little bit like lemmings we just follow the same and we just have this notion here but being a proper businessman is taking hard decision you know you have this conversation with friends I mean this sort of quasi she's offending grab this conversation we're friends and in the evening we could drink a glass of wine perhaps two and we have a discussion about what about what the world is all about and the same guy the next morning goes interested office closes the door and the only thing that matters is the margin boom boom and it's not because he's a bad guy it's not because he's somebody who has inherently evil or he or she but but but it's just because that's the societal norm you know we reward money with success I mean keep listening to me because I happen to own your company otherwise they you know would be somebody in the street and so this notion of money representing power this money this notion of money being the best measure we have of success is something we need to change so you can see it societal be quite difficult to do but but to start with as I'm prior what we should be saying to people is it's okay to be nice you don't have to be a bastard to be successful office bring your values with you and when you take a decision in a business context take it in the same context that you would in your private life you know talk to you employees like you go to your friends talk to your boss like you route to your wife I mean there is something to be built there and and and it starts with values it starts with a capacity to be yourself in the office and I think that has any office it's a conceptual office of course but but it's it's important to be able to be yourself she's Affinia is a disease and if you cannot leave your value into your daily life you're going to end up a little bit screwed up and there are no floods of people around here who can demonstrate that thing is by the way and then maybe some questions from you but it is a reason why we are in a board of trustees here to form and be active here what we try to compute can we not but the form represents go build further on this whole stakeholder model take care of all the interest of all the in volved groups whether this business or governments or academia NGOs take care of the planet take care of society take care that we continue to run our companies etc take care of all those interests that is the team this year also stakeholder model for cohesive everybody in the boat and sustainable society and and we find out every single day that are also factors working against it to do not one to move yet okay and step by step we hope to make progress in the right direction I remain also saying and said that this week a few times the elite in the world is ho here and you we are privileged to be here with more or less the top of the world if you look in the dictionary on the elite and you find a very strange description people who earns the most people had upper layer of society people with the most power in society that is what the dictionary writes about elite those who are privileged and I add to the dictionary but I don't write dictionaries but I add to the dictionary those who take responsibility for people who maybe do not have the power to influence the world in that direction if you have the privilege to be here you better take up the responsibility to do something which influence also the people who cannot be here if you don't do that now you belong to the elite in the old way of the world to be the upper layer the best income the most powerful people in the world who cares I care more about the people who take the responsibility to improve the world that that is for me a little okay we have and that brings us back to this notion of purpose you are working for a company so I assume that the majority of us have an activity at home an activity in the office in the office we work for a course the course is not to make money the course is to contribute to the purpose of the employer that we happen to work will be the government be the company being whatever and so the this notion of working for something else than just material satisfaction is a very important notion if there is one that you that you should take home with you it's this one how can you find you your your daily activity how can you frame it into something that fulfills you you your values not necessary the values of society that you own and I think that that that's a very important key to to to to to to moving forward you know you talked about brush making dimensions and making people the house here that that's what he is doing we are providing food ingredients making food housing etc I was in a session two days ago and somebody said yeah you have an easy story because you make sustainable energy in your company and you make healthy food ingredients so of course you have a purpose and he could say that they may be tendre also our company that person said is not contributing anything to society so we found it much more difficult to define their purpose and I said could you repeat that sentence but yeah you have an easy story mr. Sibbett right it's abuse at your company is not contributing anything to society and I said exactly that is that please repeat that sentence for the mirror next evening and see how long you will exist because if you don't contribute anything to society I don't want to be rude but why are you here in society I think we made our point just Krishna and when did it go wrong right so those are the two questions because it's so sort of obvious what we are discussing here yeah that you are just you know as a leader like one person at home your personal life and you you know your professional life you know there is no difference and of course you use of your family and your professional family as well so and and we might if we go back in history after like that into in the golden age after Second World War you know leadership was a little different and and there are a few inflection points since then and we discuss a lot about you know the 1970 the Friedman Chicago School of Economics and shareholder value concept so where and when did it go wrong and what can we do to undo it we have to undo it we have to go back to this very natural kind of leadership that existed at some point at least and isn't it sort of the leadership sort of selection and education isn't isn't it that that we need to actually look at sort of what are the leaders that we select to run the business the business has to heal society politics is not able to really heal society so the business world has to do it by bringing you know more together I don't the philosophy of back-to-basics I like the idea of forward to basics you know we need to you know need to bounce back we need to bounce forward and and and and for me this can-do attitude this attitude that we do have issues in front of us we can solve them is something we need to submit to move I completely agree we need a new brand of managers I mean your new brand of leaders who are trying to not only propose a financial data but also social and environmental data so we need to change the way we teach business education and III think that the major of business schools in the planet should take notice and some of them are and I have some examples if you want later total change in the way we assess people in our organizations today a guy who is achieving the targets the hook or by crook he's the guy he gets assessed as a very hard taskmaster a guy who goes up in the ladder and we never checked the real core values of that person so unless we do that unless the performance matrix is kept lightly aside we will never have this change it'll only remain a discussion point because we always want a guy will perform who delivers at whatever cost and he is like voted in the industry so I think the basic assessment by which the leaders are assessed and brought up in the ladder that needs a change I know it's very difficult but then that's the way I think it is mmm I totally agree with you and Andre is helping busy schools to develop a different level of MBA education and a different level of of Future Leaders by the way most PC schools still in the world teach finance marketing technology and innovation management at the general management and then if you're ba you can lead the business and and maybe in the cider is one course if you want own values and other stuff etc but this is the core of you being a leader and an Andre is helping to change that with which I like and you add to that in the companies assess whether you represent the failures and I agree the most dangerous species in any company are people who do not really stand for the values of the company but very successful and normally if they're very successful in their business goals they have a lot of power in the company and if they do not represent the values of the company but are very impactful because they get their results it's a very dangerous species in us in a company I mean the people do not respect the values and not perform well most like they get a health of the company so I agree with you it's very important to see that I'm building on your also I see I'm an optimist I see a little bit of a change but your point is right 30 years ago we had an economic economists like Milton Friedman etc said it's all about shelters really where GE OS like Jack Wales who said all about shareholders value we had code of conducts in countries he said you should take care of your shareholders that's your fiduciary duty and that shift really nothing in the last 30 years you see in the climate you see in the hunger you see the inequalities we see people who were angry enough protesting we are step by step to forward one back to forward moving hopefully to a new area with developing people and differently but the question that is is we agree that we need leadership and then you come back to this definition of a lease what is the elites what happens so if you measure it against purpose if you measure it about outcome against purpose I think you are likely to get a much clearer answer than if you only look at the salary level I think it's going to be the last one because room is occupied afterwards so that's going to be the last question sorry so I'm trying to build one of those different business schools great the question is around leadership if we we give our children rules and then they become pretty religious about following these rules we are animals built for simple stories and both of you talked about very nuanced stories it's not just dis KPI it's it's two of those KPIs what for the two of you was the thing that made you able to hold these multiple perspectives leadership or wisdom is the ability to hold multiple perspectives what made you able to do so because most of us can't 75% of adults can't and what do you do to install that in your in your people well it was a bit at the beginning question you know how do you how do you sort of wake up to the notion that purpose for companies as important as profitability in my case it's my history I grew up in a natural in a natural world apartment my father was a conservationist an ecologist non ethology especially songbirds I always work I always grew up with this notion of nature and got got involved into NGOs quite early and then at a later age went into the family business so you know the the to experience it to do two tracks were in parallel so that that that that allows me to have different perspective in fact it forces me to have different perspectives I don't know if you want to yeah it's maybe strange answer and then we get too close but I close them with a little bit strange I think I realized that one day I believe this planet in and we all know that and we don't like it but we all know that one day will be the last day and already for quite some decades I realized there will be a last day then I will leave the movie last week at last month's and at the end of your life you will reflect a little bit and look back and I will discuss with my kids and my wife how was my life and I predict that a little bit for myself what what kind of description do I want to have and what kind of discussion will I have and I want to have the discussion that I inherited the planet in a nice status from our parents we lived well and I want to finish that sentence and I realized also that we borrowed the planet from you and we entered over in a good state that you the next generation can continue and since I predict that I want to have that discussion at that moment in time I need to do now different things and different perspectives like you said if I don't do that now then I won't be able to have that discussion at that moment in time and I will regret it then and then it is too late it's a little bit maybe it's a little bit philosophical but that is what I put in my mind why I do the things what I do having very very powerful remarks I'm not sure I can add anything to that but but some you know I would like to say since it is the closing statement how incredibly excited I am about what has happening what has been happening over the past four days the the issue that there is a limit to growth the issue that we live in a one Talent system and that we are not going to be able to continue on the current path is becoming apparent to a lot of people I see new models I see new thinking I see people who I never knew would articulate the world environment to biodiversity talking about it and that is really exciting so you know we are making an impact on the rest of the planet we are realizing it and now we're going to take control to do that better in the future you | World Economic Forum | UCw-kH-Od73XDAt7qtH9uBYA | 2020-05-27 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

frontier this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by bridget gage woman on the american frontier a valuable and authentic history of the heroism adventures privations captivities trials and noble lives and deaths of the pioneer mothers of the republic by william w fowler preface the history of our race is the record mainly of men's achievements in war in statecraft and diplomacy if mention is made of woman it is of queens and intriguing beauties who ruled and schemed for power and riches and often worked mischief and ruined by their wiles the story of woman's work in great migrations has been told only in lines and passages where all instead to fill volumes here and there incidents and anecdotes scattered through a thousand tomes give us glimpses of the wife the mother or the daughter as a heroine or as an angel of kindness and goodness but most of her story is a blank which never will be filled up and yet it is precisely in her position as a pioneer and colonizer that her influence is the most potent and her life story most interesting the glory of a nation consists in its migrations and the colonies it plants as well as in its wars of conquest the warrior who wins a battle deserves a laurel no more rightfully than the pioneer who leads his race into the wilderness and builds there a new empire the movement which has carried our people from the atlantic to the pacific ocean and in the short space of two centuries and a half has founded the greatest republic which the world ever saw has already taken its place in history as one of the grandest achievements of humanity since the world began it is a moral as well as a physical triumph and forms an epoch in the advance of civilization in this grand achievement in this triumph of physical and moral endurance woman must be allowed her share of the honor it would be a truism if we were to say that our republic would not have been founded without her aid we need not enlarge on the necessary position which she fills in human society everywhere we are to speak of her now as a soldier and laborer a heroine and comforter and a peculiar set of dangers and difficulties such as are met with in our american wilderness the crossing of a stormy ocean the reclamation of the soil from nature the fighting with savage men are mere generalities wherein some vague idea may be gained of true pioneer life but it is only by following woman in her wanderings and standing beside her in the forest or in the cabin and by marking in detail the thousand trials and perils which surround her in such a position that we can obtain the true picture of the heroine in so many unmentioned battles the recorded sum total of an observation like this would be a noble history of human effort it would show us the latent causes from which have come extraordinary effects it would teach us how much this republic owes to its pioneer mothers and would fill us with gratitude and self-congratulation gratitude for their inestimable services to our country and to mankind self-congratulation and that we are the lawful inheritors of their work and as americans are partakers in their glory in the preparation of this work particular pains have been taken to avoid what was trite and hackneyed and at the same time preserve historic truth and accuracy use has been made to a limited extent of the ancient border books selecting the most noteworthy incidents which never grow old because they illustrate a heroism that like renown and grace cannot die thanks are due to mrs elliott from whose interesting book entitled woman of the revolution a few passages have been called the stories of mrs van elstein of mrs slocum mrs mccalla and dicey langston and of debra sampson are condensed from her accounts of those heroines a large portion of the work is however composed of incidents which will be new to the reader the eyewitnesses of scenes which have been lately enacted upon the border have furnished the writer with materials for many of the most thrilling stories of frontier life and which it has been his aim to spread before the reader in this work end of preface chapter 1 of woman on the american frontier this librivox recording is in the public domain recording by bridget gage woman on the american frontier by william w fowler chapter one woman as a pioneer every battle has its unnamed heroes the common soldier enters the stormed fortress and falling in the breach which his valor has made sleeps in a nameless grave the subaltern whose surname is scarcely heard beyond the roll call on parade bears the colors of his company where the fight is hottest and the corporal who heads his file in the final charge is forgotten in the earthquake shout of the victory which he has helped to win the victory may be due as much or more to the patriot courage of him who is content to do his duty in the rank and file as to the daesh and colonel who heads the regiment or even to the general who plans a campaign and yet unobserved unknown and unrewarded the former passes into oblivion while the leader's name is on every tongue and perhaps goes down in history as that of one who deserved well of his country our comparison is a familiar one there are other battles and armies besides those where thousands of disciplined men move over the ground to the sounds of the drum and fife life itself is a battle and no grander army has ever been set in motion since the world began then that which for more than two centuries and a half has been moving across our continent from the atlantic to the pacific fighting its way through countless hardships and dangers bearing the banner of civilization and building a new republic in the wilderness in this army woman has been too often the unnamed heroine let us not forget her now her patience her courage her fortitude her tact her presence of mind in trying hours these are the shining virtues which we have to record woman as a pioneer standing beside her rougher stronger companion man first on the voyage across a stormy ocean from england to america then at plymouth and jamestown and all the settlements first planted by europeans on our coast then through the trackless wilderness onward across the continent till every river has been forted and every chain of mountains has been scaled the peaceful ocean has been reached and fifty thousand cities towns and hamlets all over the land have been formed from those aggregations of household life where women's work has been raw out to its fullness among all the characteristics of woman there is none more marked than the self-devotion which she displays and what she believes is a righteous cause or wherefore her loved ones she sacrifices herself in india we see her wrapped in flames and burned to ashes with the corpse of her husband under the muslim her highest condition is a lifelong incarceration she patiently places her shoulders under the burden which the aboriginal lord of the american forest lays upon them calmly and in silence she submits to the honoris duties imposed upon her by social and religious laws throughout the whole heathen world she remained in the words of an elegant french writer anonymous indifferent to herself and leaving no trace of her passage upon earth the benign spirit of christianity has lifted woman from the position she held under other religious systems and elevated her to a higher sphere she is brought forward as a teacher she displays a murders courage in the presence of pestilence or ascends the deck of the mission ship to take her part in perils among the heathen she endures the hardships and faces the dangers of colonial life with a new sense of her responsibility as a wife and mother in all these capacities whether teaching ministering to the sick or carrying the gospel to the heathen she shows the same self-devotion as in the brave days of old it is this quality which peculiarly fits her to be the pioneer's companion in the new world and by her works in that capacity she must be judged if all true greatness should be estimated by the good it performs it is peculiarly desirable that woman's claims to distinction should thus be estimated and awarded in america her presence has been acknowledged and her aid faithfully rendered from the beginning in the era of colonial life in the cruel wars were the aborigines and the struggle of the revolution in the western march of the army of exploration and settlement a grateful people must now recognize her services there is a beautiful tradition that the first foot which pressed the snow-clad rock of plymouth was that of mary chilton a fair young maiden and that the last survivor of those heroic pioneers was mary ellerton who lived to see the planting of 12 out of the thirteen colonies which formed the nucleus of these united states in the mayflower nineteen wives accompanied their husbands to a wasteland and uninhabited saved by the wily and vengeful savage on the unfloored hut she who had been nurtured amid the rich carpets and curtains of the motherland rocked her newborn babe and complained not she who in the home of her youth had arranged the gorgeous shades of embroidery or perchance had compounded the rich venison pasty as her share in the housekeeping now pounded the coarse indian corn for her children's bread and made them ask god's blessing air they took their scanty portion when the snows sifted through the miserable roof tree upon her little ones she gathered them closer to her bosom she taught them the bible and the catechism and the holy hymn though the war whoop of the indian rang through the wild amid the untold hardships of colonial life she infused new strength into her husband by her firmness and solaced his weary hours by her love she was to him an undergoing spirit to bear up against what air ensued the names of these 19 pioneer matrons should be engraved in letters of gold on the pillars of american history the wives of the pilgrims mrs catherine carver mrs dorothy bradford mrs elizabeth winslow mrs mary brewster mrs mary ellerton mrs elizabeth hopkins mrs tilly mrs ticker mrs ridgedale mrs rose standish mrs martin mrs mullins mrs susanna white mrs eaton mrs chilton mrs fuller mrs helen billington mrs lucretia brewster nor should the names of the daughters of these heroic women be forgotten who with their mothers and fathers shared the perils of that winter's voyage and bore with their parents the toils and hardships and changes of the infant colony the daughters of the pilgrim mothers elizabeth carver remember ellerton mary allerton sarah ellerton constant hopkins mary chilton priscilla mullins the voyage of the mayflower the landing upon a desolate coast in the dead of winter the building of those ten small houses with oiled paper for windows the suffering of that first winter and spring in which woman bore her whole share these were the first steps in the grand movement which has carried the anglo-saxon race across the american continent the next steps were the penetration of the wilderness westward from the sea by the immigrant pioneers and their wives fighting their way through dense forests building cabins black houses and churches in the clearings which they had made ward against by cruel savages woman was ever present to guard to comfort to work the annals of colonial history team with her deeds of love and heroism and what are those recorded instances to those which had no chronicler she loaded the flintlock in the blockhouse while it was surrounded by yelling savages she exposed herself to the scalping knife to save her babe in her forest home she worked and watched far from the loved ones in old england and by discharging a thousand duties in the household and the field did her share in a silent way towards building up the young republic of the west sometimes she arranged herself in battle beside her husband or brother and fought with the steadiness and bravery of a veteran but her heroism never shown so brightly as an undergoing danger in defense of her children in the early days of the settlement of royalton vermont a sudden attack was made upon it by the indians mrs hendy the wife of one of the settlers was working alone in the field her husband being absent on military duty when the indians entered her house and capturing her children carried them across the white river at that place a hundred yards wide and quite deep for fording and placed them under keepers who had some other persons 30 or 40 in number in charge returning from the field mrs hendy discovered the fate of her children her first outburst of grief was heart-rending to behold but this was only transient she ceased her lamentations and like the lioness who has been robbed of her litter she bounded on the trail of her plunderers resolutely dashing into the river she stemmed the current planting her feet firmly on the bottom and pushed across with pallid face flashing eyes and lips compressed maternal love dominating every fear she strode into the indian camp regardless of the tomahawks menacingly flourished around her head boldly demanded the release of her little ones and persevered in her alternate upratings and supplications till her request was granted she then carried her children back through the river and landed them in safety on the other bank not content with what she had done like a patriot as she was she immediately returned begged for the release of the children of others again was rewarded with success and brought two or three more away again returned and again succeeded till she had rescued the whole 15 of her neighbor's children who had been thus snatched away from their distracted parents on her last visit to the camp of the enemy the indians were so struck with her conduct that one of them declared that so brave a deserved to be carried across the river and offered to take her on his back and carry her over she in the same spirit accepted the offer mounted the back of the gallant savage was carried to the opposite bank where she collected her rescued troop of children and hastened away to restore them to their overjoyed parents during the memorable wyoming massacre mrs mary gold wife of james gold with the other woman remaining in the village of wyoming sought safety in the fort in the haste and confusion attending this act she left her boy about four years old behind obeying the instincts of a mother and turning a deaf ear to the admonitions of friends she started off on a perilous search for the missing one it was dark she was alone and the foe was lurking around but the agonies of death could not exceed her agonies of suspense so she hastened on she traversed the fields which but a few hours before were trampled by the hurrying crowd where fiery hearts and armed hands encountered in the battle cloud and where unarmed hands were now resting on cold and motionless hearts after a search of between one and two hours she found her child on the bank of the river sporting with a little band of playmates clasping her treasure in her arms she hurried back and reached the fore in safety during the struggles of the revolution the privation sustained and the efforts made by women were neither few nor of short duration many of them are delineated in the present volume yet innumerable instances of faithful toil and patient endurance must have been covered with oblivion in how many a lone home from which the father was long sundered by a soldier's destiny did the mother labor to perform to their little ones both his duties and her own having no witness of the extent of her heavy burdens and sleepless anxieties saved the hearer of prayer a good and whorey-headed man who had passed the limits of four score once said to me my father was in the army during the whole eight years of the revolutionary war at first as a common soldier afterwards as an officer my mother had the sole charge of us four little ones our house was a poor one and far from neighbors i have a keen remembrance of the terrible cold of some of those winters the snow lay so deep and long that it was difficult to cut or draw fuel from the woods or to get our corn to the mill when we had any my mother was the possessor of a coffee mill and that she ground wheat and made coarse bread which we ate and were thankful it was not always we could be allowed as much even of this as our keen appetites craved many is the time that we have gone to bed with only a drink of water for our supper and which a little molasses had been mingled we patiently received it for we knew our mother did as well for us as she could and we hope to have something better in the morning she was never heard to repine and young as we were we tried to make her loving spirit and heavenly trust our example when my father was permitted to come home his stay was short and he had not much to leave us for the pay of those who achieved our liberties was slight and irregularly given yet when he went my mother ever made him farewell with a cheerful face and told him not to be anxious about his children for she would watch over them night and day and god would take care of the families of those who went forth to defend the righteous cause of their country sometimes we wondered that she did not mention the cold weather or our short meals or her hard work that we little ones might be clothed and fed and taught but she would not weaken his hands or sadden his heart for she said a soldier's life was harder than all we saw that she never complained but always kept in her heart a sweet hope like a well of water every night air we slept and every morning when we arose we lifted our little hands for god's blessing on our absent father and our endangered country how deeply the prayers from such solitary homes and faithful hearts were mingled with the infant liberties of our dear native land we may not know until we enter where we see no more through a glass darkly but face to face incidents repeatedly occurred during this contest of eight years between the feeble colonies and the strong motherland of a courage that ancient sparta would have applauded in a thinly settled part of virginia the quiet of the sabbath eve was once broken by the loud hurried role of the drum volunteers were invoked to go forth and prevent the british troops under the pitiless turtle on from forcing their way through an important mountain pass in an old fort resided a family all of whose elder sons were absent with our army which at the north opposed the foe the father lay enfeebled and sick by his bedside the mother called their three sons of the ages of 13 15 and 17. go forth children said she to the defense of your native climb go each and all of you i spare not my youngest my fair-haired boy the light of my declining years go forth my sons repel the foot of the invader or see my face no more in order to get a proper estimate of the greatness of the part which woman has acted in the mighty onward moving drama of civilization on this continent we must remember too her peculiar physical constitution her highly strong nervous organization and her softness of fiber make labor more severe and suffering keener it is an instinct with her to tremble at danger her training from girlhood unfits her to cope with the difficulties of outdoor life men said the poet must work and women must weep but the pioneer woman must both work and weep the toils and hardships of frontier life write early wrinkles upon her brow and bow her delicate frame with care we do not expect to subject our little ones to the toils or dangers that belong to adults labor is pain to the soft fibers and unknit limbs of childhood and to the impressible minds of the young danger conveys a thousand fears not felt by the firmer natures of older persons hence it is that all mankind admire youthful heroism the story of casa bianca on the deck of the burning ship or of the little wounded drummer born on the shoulders of a musketeer and still beating the repel while the bullets are flying around him throw the heart of man because these were great and heroic deeds performed by striplings it is the bravery and firmness of the weak that challenges the highest admiration this is woman's case and when we see her matching her strength and courage against those of man in the same cause with equal results what can we do but applaud a european traveler lately visited the territory of montana abandoning the beaten trail and company only with an indian guide for he was a bold and fearless explorer he struck across the mountains traveling for two days without seeing the sign of a human being just at dusk on the evening of the second day he drew rain on the summit of one of those lofty hills which formed the spurs of the rocky mountains the solitude was awful as far as the eye could see stretched an unbroken secession of mountain peaks bear a forest a wilderness of rocks with stunted trees at their base and deep ravines where no streams were running in all this desolate scene there was no sign of a living thing while they were tethering their horses and preparing for the night the sharp eyes of the indian guide caught sight of a gleam of light at the bottom of a deep gorge beneath them descending the declivity they reached a cabin rudely built of dead wood which seemed to have been brought down by the spring rains from the hillsides to the west knocking at the door it was opened by a woman holding in her arms a child of six months the woman appeared to be fifty years of age but she was in reality only 30. casting a searching look upon the traveler and his companion she asked them to enter the cabin was divided into two apartments a kitchen which also served for a storeroom dining room and sitting room the other was the chamber or rather bunk room where the family slept five children came tumbling out from this letter apartment as the traveler entered and greeted him with a stare of childlike curiosity the woman asked them to be seated on blocks of wood which served for chairs and soon threw off her reserve and told them her story while they awaited the return of her husband from the nearest village some 30 miles distant whether he had gone the day before to dispose of the gold dust which he had panned out from a gulch nearby he was a miner four years before he had come with his family from the east and pushing on in advance of the main movement of emigration in the territory had discovered a rich gold placer and this lonely gorge while he had been working in this placer his wife had with her own hands turned up the soil in the valley below and raised all the corn and potatoes required for the support of the family she had done the housework and made all the clothes for the family once when her husband was sick she had ridden 30 miles for medicine it was a dreary ride she said for the road or rather trail was very rough and her husband was in a burning fever she left him in charge of her oldest child a girl of 11 years but she was a bright helpful little creature able to wait upon the sick man and feed the other children during the two days absence of her mother next summer they were to build a house lower down in the valley and would be joined by three other families of their kindred from the east have you never been attacked by the indians and acquired the traveler only three times she replied once three prowling redskins came to the door in the night and asked for food my husband handed them a loaf of bread through the window but they refused to go away and lurked in the bushes all night they were stragglers from a war party and wanted more scalps i saw them in the moonlight armed with rifles and tomahawks and frightfully painted they kindled a fire a hundred yards below our cabin and stayed there all night as if they were watching for us to come out but early in the morning they disappeared and we saw them no more another time a large war party of indians and camped a mile below us and a dozen of them came up and surrounded the house then we thought we were lost they amused themselves aiming up marks in the logs or at the chimneys and windows we could hear their bullets rattle against the rafters and you can see the holes they made in the doors one big brave took a large stone and was about to dash against the door when my husband pointed his rifle at him through the window and he turned and ran away we should have all been killed and scalped if a company of soldiers had not come up with the valley that day with an exploring party and driven the redskins away one afternoon as my husband was at work in the diggings two redskins came up to him and wounded him with arrows but he caught up with his rifle and soon made an end of them when we first came there was no end of bears and wolves and we could hear them howling all night long winter nights the wolves would come and drum on the door with their paws and wine as if they wanted to eat up the children husband shot ten and i shot six and after that we were troubled no more with them we have no schools here as you see continued she but i have taught my three oldest children to read since we came here and every sunday we have family prayers husband reads a verse in the bible and then i and the children read a verse in turn till we finish a whole chapter then i make the children all but baby repeat a verse over and over till they have it by heart the scripture promises to comfort us all even the littlest one who can only lisp them sometimes on sunday morning i take all the children to the top of that hill yonder and look at the sun as it comes up over the mountains and i think of the old folks at home and all our friends in the east the hardest thing to bear is the solitude we are awful lonesome once for 18 months i never saw the face of a white person except those of my husband and children it makes me laugh and cry too when i see a strange face but i am too busy to think much about it day times i must wash and boil and bake or look after the cows which wander off in search of pasture or go into the valley and hoe the corn and potatoes or cut the wood for husband makes his 10 or 15 dollars a day panning out dust up the mountain and i know that whenever i want him i have only to blow the horn and he will come down to me so i tend to business here and let him get gold in five or six years we shall have a nice house farther down and shall want for nothing we shall have a sawmill next spring started on the run below and folks are going to join us from the states the woman who told the story of dangers and hardships amid the rocky mountains was of a slight frail figure she had evidently been once possessed of more than ordinary attractions but the cares of maternity and the toils of frontier life had bowed her delicate frame and engraved premature wrinkles upon her face she was old before her time but her spirit was as dauntless and her will to do and dare for her loved ones was as firm as that of any of the heroines whom history has made so famous she had been reared in luxury in one of the towns of central new york and till she was 18 years old had never known what toil and trouble were her husband was a true type of the american explorer and possessed in his wife a fit companion and when he determined to push his fortune among the western wilds she accompanied him cheerfully already they had accumulated five thousand dollars which was safely deposited in the bank they were rearing a band of sturdy little pioneers they had planted an outpost and a region teeming with mineral wealth and around them is now growing up a thriving village of which this heroic couple are soon to be the patriarchs all honor to the names of mr mrs james manning the pioneers of montana the traveler and his guide declining the hospitality which this brave matron tendered them soon returned to their camp on the hilltop but the englishman made notes of the pioneer woman's story and pondered over it for he saw in it an epitome of frontier life if a tourist were to pass today beyond the mississippi river and journey over the wagon roads which lead westward towards the rocky mountains he would see moving towards the setting sun innumerable caravans of emigrants canvas covered wagons bound for the frontier in each of these wagons is a man one or two women with children agricultural tools and household gear at night the horses or oxen are tethered or turned loose on the prairie a fire is kindled with buffalo chips or such fuel as can be had and supper is prepared a bed of prairie grass suffices for the man while the woman and children rest in the covered wagon when the morning dawns they resume their westward journey weeks months sometimes roll by before the wagon reaches its destination but it reaches it at last then begin the struggle the pains the labors and dangers of border life in all of which woman bears her part while the primaval forest falls before the stroke of the man pioneer his companion does the duty of both man and woman at home the hearthstone is laid and the root cabin rises the virgin soil is vexed by the plowshare driven by the man the garden and house the dairy and barns are tended by the woman who clasps her babe while she melts and fodders and weeds danger comes when the man is away the woman must meet it alone famine comes and the woman must eke out the slender store scrumping and pinching for the little ones sickness comes and the woman must nurse and watch alone and without the sympathy of any of her sex 50 miles from a doctor or a friend except her weary and perhaps morose husband she must keep strong under labor and be patient under suffering till death and thus the household the hamlet the village the town the city the state rise out of her homely toils and destiny obscure truly she is one of the founders of the republic end of chapter one chapter two of women on the american frontier this librivox recording is in the public domain recording by bridget gage woman on the american frontier by william w fowler chapter 2 the frontier line woman's work in floods and storms the american frontier has for more than two centuries been a vague and variable term in 1620-21 it was a line of forest which bounded the infant colony at plymouth a few scattered settlements on the james river in virginia and the stockade on manhattan island where holland had established a trading post destined to become one day the great commercial city of the continent seventy years later in 1690 the frontier line had become greatly extended in new england it was the forest which still hemmed in the coast and river settlements far to the north stretched the wilderness covering that tract of country which now comprises the states of maine new hampshire and vermont in new york the frontier was just beyond the posts on the hudson river and in virginia life outside of the oldest settlements was strictly life on the border the james the rappahannock and the potomac rivers made the virginia frontier a series of long lines approaching to a parallel but the european settlements were still sparse as compared with the area of uninhabited country the villages hamlets and single homesteads were like little islands in a wild green waste mere specks in a vast expanse of wilderness every line beyond musket shot was a frontier line every settlement small or large was surrounded by a dark circle outside of which lurked starvation fear and danger the sea and the great rivers were perilous avenues of escape for those who dwelt thereby but the interior settlements were almost completely isolated and gert around as if with a wall built by hostile forces to forbid access or egress the grand exodus of european immigrants from their native land to these shores had vastly diminished by the year 1690 but the westward movement from the sea and the rivers in america still went forward with scarcely diminished impetus and as the pioneers advanced and established their outposts farther and farther to the west woman was as she has been from the landing their companion on the march their ally in the presence of danger and their efficient co-worker in establishing homes in the wilderness the heroic enterprises recorded in the history of man have generally been remarkable in proportion to their apparent original weakness this is true in an eminent degree of the settlement of european colonies on the western continent this way which women's influence exercised in these colonial enterprises is all the more wonderful when we contemplate them from this point of view three feeble bands of men and women the first at jamestown virginia in 1609-1612 the second at plymouth in 1620 the third on the island of manhattan in 1624 these were the dim nuclei from which radiated those long lines of light which stretch today across a continent and strike the pacific ocean this is a simile borrowed from astronomy to adopt the language of the naturalist those three little colonies were the puny germs which bore within themselves a vital force vastly more potent and wonderful than that which dwells in the heart of the gourd seed and the acorn whose nascent swelling energies will lift huge boulders and split the living rock asunder vastly more potent because it was not the blind motions of nature merely but a force at once physical moral and intellectual these feeble bands of men and women took foothold and held themselves firmly like a hard-pressed garrison waiting for reinforcements reinforcements came and then they went out from their works and setting their faces westward moved slowly forward the vanguard were men with pikes and musketoons and axes the rear guard were women who kept watch and ward over the household treasures sometimes in trying hours their rear guard ranged itself and fought in the front ranks falling back to its old position when the crisis was passed in order to appreciate the actual value of woman as a component part of that mighty impulse which set in motion and still impels the pioneers of our country we must remember that she is really the cohesive power which cements society together that when the outward pressure is greatest the cohesive power is strongest that in times of sore trial women's native traits of character are intensified that she has greater tact quicker perceptions more enduring patience and greater capacity for suffering than man that motherly and wifely and sisterly love are strongest and brightest when trials labors and dangers impend over the loved ones we must bear in mind too that woman and man were possessed of the same convictions and impulses in their heroic enterprise the sense of duty the spirit of liberty the desire to worship god after their own ideas of truth the desire to possess though in a wilderness homes where no one could improve or call them vassals and deep down below all this the instincts the gifts and mode of power of the most energetic race the world has ever seen the anglo-saxon thus we come to see how in each band of pioneers and in each household we're centered that solid and constant moving force which made each man a hero and each woman a heroine in the struggle with hostile nature would savage man more cruel than the storm or the wild beasts with solitude which makes a desert in the soul with famine with pestilence that wasted that noon day a struggle which has finally been victorious over all antagonisms and has made us what we are in this centennial year of our existence as an independent republic another powerful influence exercised by woman as a pioneer was the influence of religion the whole nature certainly of the puritan woman was transfused with a deep glowing unwavering religious faith we picture those wives mothers and daughters of the new england pioneers as the saints described by the poet their eyes are homes of silent prayer how the prayers of these good and honorable women were answered events have proved hardly had the plymouth colony landed before they were called upon to battle with their first foes the cold the wind and the storms on the bleak new england coast famine came next and finally pestilence the blast from the sea shook their frail cabins the frost sealed the earth and the snow drifted on the pillow of the sick and dying five kernels of corn a day were doled out to such as were in health by those appointed to this duty woman's heart was full then but it kept strong though it swelled to bursting within five months from the landing on the rock 46 men women and children or nearly one half of the mayflower's passengers had perished of disease and hardships and the survivors saw the vessel that brought them sail away to the land of their birth to the surviving woman of that devoted pilgrim band this departure of the mayflower must have added a new pain to the grief that was already rending their hearts after the loss of so many dear ones during that fearful winter as the vessel dropped down plymouth harbor they watched it with tearful eyes and when they could see it no more they turned calmly back to their heroic labors mrs bradford rose standish and their companions were the original types of woman on our american frontier nobly too were they seconded by the matrons and daughters and the other infant colonies who can read the letters of margaret winthrop of the massachusetts colony without recognizing the loving devoted woman sharing with her noble husband the toils and privations of the wilderness in order that god's promise might be justified and an empire built on this western continent in her we have a noble type of the puritan woman of the 17th century representing as she did a numerous class of her sex in the same condition reared in luxury and surrounded by the allurements of the superior social circle in which she moved in her native england she nevertheless preferred a life of self-denial with her husband on the bleak shores where the puritans were struggling for existence she had fully prepared her mind for the heroic undertaking she did not overlook the trials discouragements and difficulties of the course she was about to take for years she had been habituated to look forward to it as one of the eventualities of her life she was now beyond the age of romance and cherished no golden dreams of earthly happiness to be realized in that far-off western climb two traits are most prominent in her letters her religious faith and her love for and trust in her husband she placed a high estimate on the wisdom the energy and the talents of her husband and felt that he could best serve god and man by helping to lay broad and deep the foundations of a new state and to secure the present and future prosperity both temporal and spiritual of the colony with admiration and esteem she blended the ardent but balanced fondness of the loving wife and the sedate matron in no less degree do her letters show the power and attractiveness of genuine religion the sanctity of conjugal affection tallies with and is hallowed by the spirit of grace the sense of duty is harmoniously mingled with the impulses of the heart that religion was the dominant principle of thaw and action with margaret winthrop no one can doubt who reflects how severely it was tested in the trying enterprise of her life a sincere deep and healthy piety formed in her a spring of energy to great and noble actions there are glimpses in the correspondence between her and her husband of a kind of prophetic vision that the planting of that colony was the laying of one of the foundation stones of a great empire may we not suppose that by the contemplation of such a vision she was buoyed up and soothed amid the many trials and privations perils and uncertainties that surrounded her in that rugged colonial life the influence of puritanism to inspire with unconquerable principle to infuse public spirit to purify the character from frivolity and feebleness to lift the soul to an all-enduring heroism and to exalt it to a lofty standard of christian excellence is grandly illustrated by the life of margaret winthrop one of the pioneer matrons of the massachusetts colony the narrations which we set forth in this book must of course be largely concerning families and individuals the outposts of the advancing army of settlement were most exposed to the dangers and hardships of frontier life every town or village as soon as it was settled became a garrison against attack and a mutual benefit aid society league together against every enemy that threatened the infant settlement it was also a place of refuge for the boulder pioneers who had pushed farther out into the forest but as time rolled on many of these more adventurous settlers found themselves isolated from the villages and stockades every hostile influence they had to meet alone and unaided cold and storm fire and flood hunger and sickness savage man and savage beast these were the foes with which they had to contend the battle was going on all the time while the pioneer and his wife were subjugating the forest breaking the soil and gaining shelter and food for themselves and their children it is easy to see what were the added pains privations and hardships of such a situation to the mind and heart of women craving as she does companionship and sympathy from her own sex it is a consoling reflection to us who are reaping the fruits of her self-sacrifice that the very multiplicity of her toils and cares gave her less time for brooding over her hard and lonely lot and that she found in her religious faith and hope a constant fountain of comfort and joy one of the greatest hardships endured by the first settlers in new england was the rigorous and changeable climate which bore most severely of course on the weaker sex this makes the fortitude of mrs shoot all the more admirable her story is only one of innumerable instances in early colonial life where wives were the preservers of their husbands in the spring of 1676 james chute with his wife and two small children set out from dorchester for the purpose of settling themselves on a tract of land in the southern part of what is now new hampshire but which then was an unbroken forest the tract where they purposed making their home was a meadow on a small affluent of the connecticut taking their household goods and farming tools in an ox cart drawn by four oxen and driving two cows before them they reached their destination after a toilsome journey of ten days the summer was spent in building their cabin and outhouses planting and tending the crop of indian corn which was to be their winter's food and in cutting the coarse meadow grass for hay late in october they found themselves destitute of many articles which even in those days of primitive housewifery and husbandry were considered of prime necessity accordingly the husband started on foot for a small trading post on the connecticut river about 10 miles distant at which point he expected to find some trading shallop or skiff to take him to springfield 38 miles further south the weather was fine and at nightfall chute had reached the stream and before sunrise the next morning was floating down the stream on an indian trader's skiff within two days he made his purchases and hiring a skiff rode slowly up the river against the sluggish current on his return in 12 hours he reached the trading post it was now late in the evening the sky had been lowering all day and by dusk it began to snow disregarding the admonitions of the traders he left his goods under their care and struck out boldly through the forest over the trail by which he came trusting to be able to find his way as the moon had risen and the clouds seemed to be breaking the trail lay along the stream on which his farm was situated and four hours at an easy gate would he thought bring him home the snow when he started from the river was already nearly a foot deep and before he had proceeded a mile on his way the storm redoubled in violence and the snow fell faster and faster at midnight he had only made five miles and the snow was two feet deep after trying in vain to kindle a fire by the aid of flint and steel he prayed fervently to god and resuming his journey struggled slowly on through the storm it had been agreed between his wife and himself that on the evening of this day on which he told her he should return he would kindle a fire on the null about two miles from his cabin as a beacon to assure his wife of his safety and announce his approach suddenly he saw a glare in the sky during his absence his wife had tended the cattle milked the cows cut the firewood and fed the children when night came she barricaded the door and saying a prayer folded her little ones in her arms and lay down to rest three sons had risen and set since she saw her husband with gun on his shoulder disappear through the clearing into the dense undergrowth which fringed the bank of the stream and when the appointed evening came she seated herself at the narrow window or more properly opening in the logs of which a cabin was built and watched for the beacon which her husband was to kindle she looked through the falling snow but could see no light little drifts sifted through the chinks in the roof upon the bed where her children lay asleep the night grew darker and now and then the howling of wolves could be heard from the woods to the north seven o'clock struck eight nine by the old dutch clock which ticked in the corner then her woman's instinct told her that her husband must have started and been overtaken by the storm if she could reach the knoll and kindle the fire it would light him on his way she quickly collected a small bundle of dry wood in her apron and taking flint steel and tinder started for the knoll in an hour after i toil some march floundering through the snow she reached the spot a large pile of dry wood had already been collected by her husband and was ready for lighting and in a few moments the heroic woman was warming her shivering limbs before a fire which blazed far up through the crackling branches and lighted the forest around it for more than two hours the devoted woman watched beside the fire straining her eyes into the gloom and catching every sound wading through the snow she brought branches and logs to replenish the flames at last her patience was rewarded she heard a cry to which she responded it was the voice of her husband which she heard shouting in a few moments he came up staggering through the drifts and fell exhausted before the fire the snow soon ceased to fall and after resting till morning the rescued pioneer and his brave wife returned in safety to their cabin mrs frank noble in 1664 proved herself worthy of her surname she and her husband with four small children had established themselves in a log cabin eight miles from a settlement in new hampshire and now known as the town of dover their crops having turned out poorly that autumn they were constrained to put themselves on shore allowance owing to the depths of the snow and the distance from the settlement as long as mr noble was well he was able to procure game and kept their larder tolerably well stocked but in midwinter being naturally of a delicate habit of body he sickened and in two weeks in spite of the nursing and tireless care of his devoted wife he died the snow was six feet deep and only a peck of musty corn and a bushel of potatoes were left as their winter supply the fuel also was short and most of the time mrs noble could only keep herself and her children warm by huddling in the bed clothes on bundles of straw in the loft which served them for a sleeping room below lay the corpse of mr noble frozen stiff famine and death stared them in the face two weeks passed and the supply of provisions was half gone the heroic woman had tried to eke out her slender store but the cries of her children were so piteous with hunger that while she denied herself she gave her own portion to her babes lulled them to sleep and then sent up her petitions to him who keeps the widow and the fatherless she prayed we may suppose from her heart for deliverance from her sore straights for food for warmth for the spring to come and the snow to melt so that she might lay away the remains of her husband beneath the sod of the little clearing every morning when she awoke she looked out from the window of the loft nothing was to be seen but the white surface of the snow stretching away into the forest one day the sun shone down warmly on the snow and melted its surface and the next morning there was a crust which would bear her weight she stepped out upon it and looked around her she would then have walked eight miles to the settlement but she was worn out with anxiety and watching and was weak from want of food as she gazed wistfully toward the east her ears caught the sound of a crashing among the bows of the forest she looked toward the spot from which it came and saw a dark object floundering in the snow looking more closely she saw it was a moose with its horns entangled in the branches of a hemlock and buried to its flanks in the snow hastening back to the cabin she seized her husband's gun and loading it with buckshot hurried out and killed the monstrous brute skilled in woodcraft like most pioneer women she skinned the animal and cutting it up bore the pieces to the cabin her first thought then was of her children and after she had given them a hearty meal of the tender moose flesh she partook of it herself and then refreshed and strengthened she took the axe and caught a fresh supply of fuel during the day a party came out from the settlement and supplied the wants of the stricken household the body of the dead husband was born to the settlement and laid in the graveyard beneath the snow nothing daunted by this terrible experience this heroic woman kept her frontier cabin and with friendly aid from the settlers continued to till her farm in ten years when her oldest boy had become a man he and his brothers tilled 200 acres of meadowland most of it redeemed from the wilderness by the skill strength and industry of their noble mother the spring season must have been to the early settlers particularly to the woman even more trying than the winter in the latter season except after extraordinary falls of snow transit from place to place was made by means of sludges over the snow or on ox carts over the frozen ground traveling could also be done across or up and down rivers on the ice and as bridges were rare in those days the crossing of rivers on the ice was much to be preferred to fording them in other seasons of the year fuel too was more easily obtained in the winter than in the spring and as roads were generally little more than passageways or cow paths through the meadows or the woods the depth of the mud was often such as to form a barrier to the locomotion of the heavy vehicles of the period or even to prevent travel on horseback or on foot other dangers and hardships in the spring of the year were the freshets and floods to which the river dwellers were exposed woman be it remembered is naturally as alien to water as a mountain fowl which flies over a stream for fear of wetting its feet we can't imagine the discomfort to which a family of women and children were exposed who lived for example on the banks of the connecticut in the olden time in some seasons families were as they now are driven to the upper stories of their houses by the overflow of the river but it should be remembered that the houses of those days were not the firm well-built structures of modern times sometimes a settler found himself and his family floating slowly downstream cabin and all born along by the freshet caused by a sudden thaw as long as his cabin held together the family had always hopes of grounding as the flood subsided and saving their lives though with much loss of property besides the discomfort if not positive danger to which they had been exposed but sometimes the flood was so sudden and violent that the cabin would be submerged or break to pieces and float away drowning some or all of the family it might be supposed that the married portion of the pioneers would select other sites than on the borders of a large river subject every year to overflow but the richness of the alluvial soil on the banks of the connecticut was so tempting that other considerations were overlooked and to no part of new england was the tide of emigration turned so strongly as to the connecticut valley in the year 1643 an adventurous family of eight persons embarked on a shallow from hartford to which place they had come shortly before from watertown massachusetts and sailing or rowing up the river made a landing on a beautiful meadow near the modern town of hatfield the family consisted of peter nash and hannah his wife david their son a youth of 17. deborah and mahitabel their two daughters aged respectively 19 and 14. mrs elizabeth nash the mother of peter age 64 and mr and mrs jacob nash they found the land all ready for plowing and after building a spacious cabin and barns they had nothing to do but to plant and harvest their crops and stock their farm with cattle which they brought from springfield driving them up along the river for four years everything went on prosperously they harvested large crops added to their barns and had a great increase in stock although the wolves and wildcats had made an occasional foray in their stock and poultry yard and the spring freshits had made inroads into their finest meadow their general course had been only one of prosperity their house and barns were built upon a tongue of land where the river made a bend and were on higher ground than the surrounding meadow which every spring was submerged by the freshits year after year the force of the waters had washed an angle into this tongue of land and threatened some time to break through and leave the houses and barns of the pioneers upon an island but the inroads of the water were gradual and the nashes flattered themselves that it would be at least two generations before the river would break through mrs peter nash and her daughter were women of almost masculine courage and firmness they all handled axe and gun as skillfully as the men of the household they could row a boat ride horseback swim and drag a scene for shad and mahitabel the younger daughter though only 14 years old was already a woman of more than ordinary size and strength these three women accompanied the men on their hunting and fishing excursions and assisted them in hoeing corn and felling trees and dragging home fuel and timber the winter of 1647 to 8 was memorable for the amount of snow that fell and the spring for its lateness the sun made some impression on the snow in march but it was not till early in april that a decided change came in the temperature one morning the wind shifted to the southwest the sun was as hot as in june before night it came on to rain and before the following night nearly the whole vast body of snow had been dissolved into water which had swelled all the streams to an unprecedented height the streams poured down into the great river which rose with fearful rapidity converting all the alluvial meadows into a vast lake all this took place so suddenly that the nash family had scarcely a warning till they found themselves in the midst of perils when the rain ceased on the evening of the second day the water had flooded the surrounding meadows and risen high up into the first story of the house the force of the current had already torn a channel across the tongue of land on which their house stood and had washed away the barns and livestock one of their two boats had been floated off but had struck broadside against a clump of bushes and was kept in its place by the force of the current the other boat had been fastened by a short rope to a stout sapling but this ladder boat was 10 feet under water held down by the rope the water had now risen to the upper story and the family were driven to the roof if the house would stand they might yet be saved it was firmly built but it shook with the force and weight of the waters if either of the boats could be secured they might reach dry land by rowing out of the current and over the meadows where the water was stiller the oars of the submerged boat had been floated away but in the other boat they could be seen from the roof of the house lying safely on the bottom it was decided that jacob nash should swim out and row the boat up to the house he was a strong swimmer and though the water was icy cold it was thought the swift current would soon enable him to reach the skiff which lay only a few rods below the house accordingly he struck boldly out and in a moment had reached the boat when he suddenly threw up his hands and sank the current rolling him out of sight in an instant amid the shrieks of his young wife who was then a nursing mother and holding her babe in her arms as her husband went down mrs nash the elder gazed for a moment speechless at the spot where her son had sunk and then fell upon her knees the whole family following her example and prayed fervently to almighty god for deliverance from their awful danger then rising from her kneeling posture she paid her other son make one more trial to reach the boat peter nash and his son daniel then plunged into the water reached the boat and took the oars but the force of the current was such that they could make by rowing but little headway against it the two daughters then leaped into the flood and in a few strokes reached and entered the boat by their united force it was brought up and safely moored to the chimney of the cabin in two trips the family were conveyed to the hillside then the brave girls returned and brought away a boatload of household gear not content with that they rode to the submerged boat and diving down cut the rope bailed out the water and in company with their mother father and brother brought away all the movables in the upper stories of the house their courage appeared to have been rewarded in another way since the house stood through the flood and in ten days they were assisting to tear down the house and build another on a hill where the floods never came as soldiers fall in battle so in the struggles and hardships of border life the delicate frame of woman often succumbs leaving the partner of her toils to mourn her loss and meet the onset of life alone such a loss necessarily implies more than when it occurs in the comfortable homes of refined life since it removes at once a loving wife a companion in solitude and an efficient co-worker and the severe tasks incident to life and frontier settlements sometimes the husband's career is broken off when he loses his wife under such circumstances and he gives up both hope and effort about 60 years since and while the rich prairies of indiana began to be viewed as a promised land of the adventurous pioneer among the immigrants who were attracted thither by the golden dreams of happiness and fortune was a mr h a young man from an eastern city who came accompanied by his newly married wife a dark-eyed girl of 19. leaving his bride at one of the westernmost frontier settlements he pushed on in search of a favorable location for their new home near the present town of lafayette he found a tract which pleased his eye and promised abundant harvest and after his wife had been brought to view it and expressed her satisfaction and delight at the happy choice he had made the site was selected and the house was built they moved into their prairie home in the first flush of summer their cabin was built upon a knoll and faced the south sitting at the door at eventide they contemplated a prospect of unrivaled beauty the sun bright soil remained still in its primeval greatness and magnificence unchecked by human hands covered with flowers protected and watched by the eye of the sun the days were glorious the sky of the brightest blue the sun of the purest gold and the air full of vitality but calm and the air full of vitality but calm and there in that brilliant light stretched itself far far out into the infinite as far as the eye could see an ocean-like extent the waves of which were sunflowers asters and gentians nodding and beckoning in the wind as if inviting millions of beings to the festival set out on the rich table of the earth mrs h was an impressible woman with poetic tastes and a strong admiration for the beauty in nature and as she gazed upon the glorious expanse her whole face lighted up and glowed with pleasure here she thought was the paradise of which she had long dreamed as the summer advanced a plenteous harvest promised to reward the labors of her husband nature was bountious and smiling in all her aspects and the young wife toiled faithfully and patiently to make her rough house a pleasant home for her husband she had been reared like him amid the luxuries of an eastern city and her hands had never been trained to work but the influences of nature around her and the almost idolatrous love which she cherished for her husband cheered and sweetened the homely toils of her prairie life eight months sped happily and prosperously away the winter had been mild and open and spring had come with its temperate breezes telling of another summer of brightness and beauty soon after the middle of april on that year commenced an extraordinary series of storms they occurred daily and sometimes twice a day accompanied by the most vivid lightning and awful peels of thunder the rain poured down in a deluge until it seemed as if another flood was coming to purify the earth for more than 60 days those terrible scenes recurred and blighted the whole face of the country for miles around the lonely cabin the prairies saturated with moisture refused any longer to drink up the showers every hollow and even the slightest depression became a stagnant pool and when the rain ceased and the sun came out with the heat of the summer solstice it engendered pestilence which rose from the green plain that smiled beneath him and stalked resistless among the dwellers throughout that vast expanse of all the widely isolated and remote cabins which sent their smoke curling into the dank morning air of the region thereabouts there was not one in which disease was not already raging with fearful malignancy doctors or hired nurses there were none each stricken household was forced to battle single-handed with a destroyer who dealt his blows stealthily suddenly and alas too often effectually the news of the dreadful visitation soon reached the family of mr h and for a period they were in a fearful suspense they were surrounded by the same malarial influences that had made such havoc among their neighbors and why should they escape they were living directly over a noisome cesspool their cellar was filled with water which could not be drained away nor would the saturated earth drink it up centuries of vegetable accumulations forming the rich mold in which the cellar was dug gave out their emanations to the water and the fiery rays of the sun made the mixture a decoction whose steams were laden with death there was no escape unless they abandoned their house and this they were reluctant to do hoping that the disease would pass by them but this was a vain hope in a few days mr h was prostrated by the fever mrs h had preserved her courage and energy till now but her impressible nature began to yield before the onset of this new danger her life had been sunny and carefree from a child her new home had till recently been the realization of her dreams of happiness but the loss of her husband would destroy at once every fair prospect for the future all that a loving wife could do as a nurse or watcher or doctors was done by her but long before her husband had turned the sharp corner between death and life mrs h was attacked and both lay helpless dependent upon the care of their only hired man neighbors whose hearts had been made tender and sympathetic by their own bereavements came from their far-off cabins and for several weeks watched beside their bedside the attack of the wife commenced with a fever which continued till after the birth of her child for three days longer she lingered in pain sinking slowly till the last great change came and mr h now convalescent saw her eyes closed forever the first time he left the house was to follow the remains of his wife and child to their last resting place beneath an arbor of boughs which her own hands had tended we cannot describe the grief of that bereaved husband his very appearance was that of one who had emerged from the tomb sickness had blanched his dark face to a ghastly hue and drawn great furrows in his cheeks which were immovable and as if chiseled in granite during his sickness he had seen little of her before she was stricken down for his mind was clouded when the light of reason dawned he was faintly conscious that she lay near him suffering first from the fever and then from woman's greatest pain and trial but that he was unable to soothe and comfort her and finally that her last hours were hours of intense agony which she could not alleviate he was as one in a trance a confused consciousness of his terrible loss slowly took possession of him when at length his weakened intellect comprehended the truth with all its sad surrounding a great cloud of desolation settled down over his whole life that cloud sad to say never lifted as he stood by the open grave he lifted the lid gazed long and intently on that sweet pale face bent and kissed the marble brow and as the mother and child were lowered into the grave he turned away a broken-hearted man end of chapter two chapter three of women on the american frontier this librivox recording is in the public domain recording by bridget gage woman on the american frontier by william w fowler chapter 3 early pioneers women's adventures and heroism for nearly 100 years after the settlement of plymouth the whole of the territory now known as the state of maine was with the exception of a few settlements on the coast and rivers a howling wilderness from the sea to canada extended a vast forest intersected with rapid streams and dotted with numerous lakes while the larger number of settlers were disinclined to attempt to penetrate this trackless waste some few hardy pioneers dared to advance far into the unknown land tempted by the abundance of fish in the streams and lakes or by the variety of game which was to be found in the forests it was the land for hunters rather than for tillers of the soil and most of its early explorers were men who were skillful marksmen and versed in forest lore but occasionally women joined these predatory expeditions against the denizens of the woods and waters in the history of american settlements too little credit has been given to the hunter he is often the first to penetrate the wilderness he notes the general features of the country as he passes on his swift course he ascertains the fertility of the soil and the capabilities of different regions he reconnoiters the indian tribes and learns their habits and how they are affected toward the white man when he returns to the settlements he makes his report concerning the region which he has explored and by means of the knowledge thus obtained the permanent settlers were and are enabled to push forward and establish themselves in the wilderness in the glory and usefulness of these discoveries women not on frequently shared some of the most interesting narratives are those in which she was the companion and co-editor of the hunter in his explorations of the trackless mazes of our american forests in the year 1672 a small party of hunters arrived at the mouth of the kennebec in two canoes the larger one of the canoes was paddled upstream by three men the other was propelled swiftly forward by a man and woman both were dressed in hunter's costume the woman in a close-fitting tunic of dear skin reaching to the knees with leggings to match and the man in hunting shirt and trousers of the same material edward pantry for this was the name of the man was a stellbert cornish man who had spent 10 years in hunting and exploring the american wilderness mrs pentry his wife was a french extraction and had passed most of her life in the settlements in canada where she had met her adventurous husband on one of his hunting expeditions she was of manly stature and strength and like her husband was a splendid shot and skillful fisher both were passionately fond of forest life and perfectly fearless of its dangers whether from savage man or beast it was their purpose to explore thoroughly the region watered by the upper kennebec and to establish a trading post which would serve as the headquarters of fur traders and ultimately open the country for settlement their outfit was extremely simple guns traps axes fishing gear powder and bullets etc with an assorted cargo of such trinkets and other articles as the indians desired in return for paltry in three weeks they reached the headwaters of the kennebec at moosehead lake there they built a large cabin divided into two compartments one of which was occupied by three of the men the other by mr and mrs pantry all of the party reversed in the indian dialect of the region and as mrs pantry could speak french no trouble was anticipated from the indians who in that part of the country were generally friendly to the french the labors of the men in felling trees and shaping logs for the cabin as well as in framing the structure were shared in by mrs pentre who in addition did all the necessary cooking and other culinary offices they decided to explore the surrounding country for the purpose of discovering the lay of the land and the haunts of the game no signs of any indians had yet been seen and it was thought best that the four men should start each in a different direction and having explored the neighboring region returned to the cabin at night mrs pentry meanwhile being left alone a situation which she did not in the least dread accordingly early in the morning after eating a hunter's breakfast of salt pork fried fish and parched corn the quartet selected their several roots and started taking good care to mark their trail as they went that they could the more readily find the way back it was agreed that they should return by sunset which would give them 12 good hours for exploration as it was the month of july and the days were long after their departure mrs p put things to rights about the house and barring the door against intruders whether biped or a quadruped took her gun and fishing tackle and went out for a little sport in the woods the cabin stood on the border of moosehead lake unloosing the canoes she embarked in one and toeing the other behind her rode across a part of the lake which jutted inshore to the southwest she soon reached a dense piece of woods which skirted the lake and there mooring her canoe watched for the deer which came down to that place to drink a fat buck before long made his appearance and as he bent down his head to quaff the water abrasive buckshot planted behind his left fore leg laid him low and his carcass was speedily deposited in the canoe the sun was now well up and as mrs p had provided for the wants of the party by her lucky shot and no more deer made their appearance she lay down in the bottom of the boat and soon fell fast asleep hunters and soldiers should be light sleepers as was mrs pantry upon this occasion how long she slept she never exactly knew but she was awakened by a splash lifting her head above the edge of the boat she saw nothing but a muddy spot on the water some 30 feet away near the shore this was a suspicious sign looking more closely she saw a slight motion beneath the lily pads which covered closely like a broad green carpet the surface of the lake her hand was on her gun and as she leveled the barrel toward the turbid spot she saw a head suddenly lifted and at the same moment a huge indian sprang from the water and struggled up through the dense undergrowth that lined the edge of the lake it was a sudden impulse rather than a thought which made mrs p level the gun at his broad back and pull the trigger the indian leaped into the air and fell back into the water dead with half a dozen buckshot through his heart at the same moment she felt a strong grasp on her shoulder and heard a deep guttural ugg turning her head she saw the malignant face of another indian standing waist deep in the water with one hand on the boat which he was dragging towards the shore a swift side blow from the gun barrel and he tumbled into the water and before he could recover the brave woman had snatched the paddle and sent the canoe spinning out into the lake then dropping the paddle and seizing her gun she dashed in a heavy charge of powder dropped a dozen buckshot down the muzzle rammed in some dry grass primed the pan and leveled it again at the savage who having recovered from the blow was floundering towards the shore turning and shaking his tomahawk at her meanwhile with a ferocious grin again the report of her gun awakened the forest echoes and before the echoes had died away the savage's corpse was floating on the water she dared not immediately approach the shore fearing that other savages might be lying in ambush but after closely scrutinizing the bushes she saw no signs of others besides the two whom she had shot she then caught long strips of rawhide from the dead buck and toeing the bodies of the indians far out into the lake sunk them with the stones that served to anchor the canoes returning to the shore she took their guns which lay upon the shelving bank and rapidly paddled the canoe homeward it was now high noon she reached the cabin entered and sat down to rest she supposed that the savages she had just killed were stragglers from a war party who had lagged behind their comrades and attracted by the sound made by her gun when she shot the buck had come to see what it was the thought that a larger body might be in the vicinity and that they would capture and perhaps kill her beloved husband and his companions was a torture to her she sat a few minutes to collect her thoughts and resolve what course to pursue her resolution was soon taken she could not sit longer there while her husband and friends were exposed to danger or death again she entered the canoe and paddled across the arm of the lake to the spot where the waters were still stained with the blood of the indians hastily effacing this bloody trace she moored the canoes and followed the trail of the savages for four miles to the northwest there she found in a ravine the embers of a fire where from appearances as many as 20 redskins had spent the preceding night their trail led to the northwest and by certain signs known to hunters she inferred that they had started at daybreak and were now far on their way northward when her four male associates selected their respective routes in the morning her husband had she now remembered selected one which led directly in the trail of the indian war party and by good calculation he would have been about six miles in the rear not being joined by the two savages whose bodies lay at the bottom of the lake what was more likely than that they would send back a detachment to look after the safety of their missing comrades the first thing to be done was to strike her husband's trail and then follow it till she overtook him or met him in returning swiftly and yet cautiously she struck out into the forest in a direction at right angles with the indian camp being clad in trousers of deer skin and a short tunic and moccasins of the same material she made her way through the woods as easily as a man and fortunately in a few moments discovered a trail which she concluded was that of her husband her opinion was soon verified by finding a piece of leather which she recognized as part of his accouterments for two hours she strode swiftly on through the forest treading literally in her husband's tracks the sun was now three hours above the western horizon so taking her seat upon a fallen tree she waited expecting to see him soon returning on his trail when she heard faintly in the distance the report of a gun a moment after another and still another report followed in quick succession guided by the sound she hurried through the tangled thicket from which she soon emerged into a grove of tall pine trees and in the distance saw two indians with their backs turned toward her and shielding themselves from someone in front by standing behind large trees without being seen by them she stole up and sheltered herself in a similar manner while her eye ranged the forest in search of her husband who she feared was under the fire of the redskins at length she described the object of their hostility behind the trunk of a fallen tree it was clearly a white man who crouched there and he seemed to be wounded she immediately took aim at the nearest indian and sent two bullets through his lungs the other indian at the same instant had fired at the white man and then sprang forward to finish him with his tomahawk mrs pentree flew to the rescue and just as the savage lifted his arm to brain his foe she drove her hunting knife to the half into his spine her husband lay prostrate before her and senseless with loss of blood from a bullet wound in the right shoulder staunching the flow of blood with styptics which she gathered among the forest shrubs she brought water and the wounded man soon revived after a slow and weary march she brought him back to the cabin carrying him part of the way upon her shoulders under her careful nursing he at length recovered his strength though he always carried the bullet in his shoulder it appears he had met three indians who told him they were in search of their two missing companions one of them afterwards treacherously shot him from behind through the shoulder and in return pantry sent a ball through his heart then becoming weak from loss of blood he could only point his gun barrel at the remaining indians and this was his situation when his wife came up and saved his life after receiving such an admonition it is natural to suppose the whole party were content to remain near their forest home for a season extending their rambles only far enough to enable them to procure game and fish for their table and this was not far for the lake was alive with fish and wild turkeys deer and other game could be shot sometimes even from the cabin door the party were also deterred by this experience from attempting to drive any trade with the indians until the following spring when they expected to be joined by a large party of hunters the summer soon passed away and the cold nights of september and october admonished our hardy pioneers that they must prepare for a rigorous winter mrs pentry made winter clothing for the men and for herself out of the skins of animals which they had shot and snowshoes from the sinews of deer stretched on a frame composed of strips of hardwood she also felled trees for fuel and mined the walls of the cabin with deer and bare skins she was the most skillful mechanic of the party and having fitted runners of hickory to one of the boats she rigged a sail of soft skin sewed together and once in november after the river was frozen and when the wind blew strongly from the northwest the whole party undertook to reach the mouth of the river by sailing down in their boat upon the ice a boat of this kind when the ice is smooth and the wind strong will make 15 miles an hour they were interrupted frequently in their course by the falls and rapids making portages necessary nevertheless in three days and two nights they reached the mouth of the river here they bartered their paltry for powder bullets and various other articles most needed by frontiersmen and catching a southeast wind started on their return in a few hours they had made 70 miles and at night as the sky threatened snow they prepared a shelter in a hollow in the bank of the river before morning a snowstorm had covered the river ice and blocked their passage for three days the snow fell continuously they were therefore forced to abandon all hopes of reaching their cabin at the headwaters of the kennebec the hollow or cave in the bank where they were sheltered they covered with saplings and branches cut from the bluff and banked up the snow around it their supply of food was soon exhausted but by cutting holes in the ice they caught fish for their subsistence the depth of the snow prevented them from going far from their place of shelter and the nights were bitter cold the ice on the river was two feet in thickness and one day in cutting through it to fish their only axe was broken no worse calamity could have befallen them since they were now unable to cut fuel or to procure fish mr pantry who was still suffering from the effects of his wound contracted a cold which settled in his lame shoulder and he was obliged to stay indoors carefully nursed and tended by his devoted wife the privations endured by these unfortunates are scarcely to be paralleled short of food ill-supplied with clothing and exposed to the howling severity of the climate the escape of any one of the number appears almost a miracle a number of bear skins removed from the boat to the cave served them for bedding some days when there was nothing to eat and no means of making a fire they passed the whole time huddled up in the skins daily they became weaker and less capable of exertion wading through the snow up to the waist they were able now and then to shoot enough small game to barely keep them alive after the lapse of a fortnight there came a thaw succeeded by a cold rain which froze as it fell the snow became crusted over to the depth of two inches with ice that was strong enough to bear their weight they extricated their icebow and prepared for departure one of the party had gone out that morning on the crust hoping to secure some larger game to stock their larder before starting the rest awaited his return for two hours and then fearing some casualty had happened to him followed his trail for half a mile from the river and found him engaged in a desperate struggle with a large black she-bear which he had wounded the ferocious animal immediately left its prey and rushed at mrs pantry with open mouth seizing her left arm in its jaws crunched it and then rising on its hind legs gave her a terrible hug the rest of the party dared not fire for fear of hitting the woman twice she drove her hunting knife into the beast's vitals and it fell on the crust breaking through into the snow beneath where the two rolled over in a death struggle the heroic woman at length arose victorious and the carcass of the bear was dragged forth skinned and caught up a fire was speedily kindled mrs pantry's wounds were dressed and after refreshing themselves with a hearty meal of bear steak the remainder of the meat was packed in the boat the party then embarked and by the aid of a stiff easterly breeze were enabled in three days to reach their cabin on the headwaters of the kennebec the explorations made along the kennebec by mrs pantry and her companions attracted thither an adventurous class of settlers and ultimately led to the important settlements on the line of that river the remainder of mrs pentree's life was spent mainly on the northern frontier she literally lived and died in the woods reaching the advanced age of 96 years and seeing three generations of her descendants grow up around her possessing the strength and courage of a man she had also all a woman's kindness and appears to have been an estimable person in all the relations of life a good wife and mother a warm friend and a generous neighbor in fact she was a representative woman of the times in which she lived the toils of a severe nature such as properly belong to man often fall upon woman from the necessities of life in remote and isolated settlements she is seen plying strange vocations and undertaking tasks that bear hardly on the soft and gentle sex sometimes a hunter and trapper and again a mariner now we see her performing the rugged work of a farm and again a fighter stoutly defending her home the fact that habit and necessity a customer and frontierlife to those employments which in older and more conventional communities are deemed unfitting and ungraceful for women to engage in makes it nonetheless striking and admirable because in doing so she serves a great and useful purpose she is thereby doing her part in forming new communities in the places that are uninhabited and waste was largely settled by the soldiers who had served in the army of the revolution the settlers both men and women were hardy and intrepid and seemed to have been peculiarly adapted to subjugate that rugged region in our new england wilderness the women were especially noted for the strength and courage with which they shared the labors of the men and encountered the hardships and dangers of frontier life when sickness or death visited the men of the family the mothers wives or widows filled their places in the woods or on the farm or among the cattle often side by side with the men women could be seen emulating their husbands in the severe task of felling timber and making a clearing in the forest in the words of daniel p thompson author of the green mountain boys the women of the green mountains deserve as much credit for their various displays of courage endurance and patriotism in the early settlement of their state as was ever awarded to their sex for similar exhibitions in any part of the world in the controversy with new york and new hampshire which took the form of war in many instances in the predatory indian incursions and in the war of the revolution they often displayed a capacity for labor and endurance a spirit and firmness in the hour of danger a resolution and hearty hood in defending their families and their threatened land against all enemies whether domestic or foreign that would have done honor to the dames of sparta the first man who commenced a settlement in the town of salisbury vermont on the outer creek was amos story who in making an opening in the heart of the wilderness on the right of land to which the first settler was entitled was killed by the fall of a tree his widow who had been left in connecticut immediately resolved to push into the wilderness with her ten small children to take his place and preserve and clear up his farm this bold resolution she carried out to the letter in spite of every difficulty hardship and danger which for years constantly beset her in her solitary location in the woods acre after acre of the dense and dark forest melted away before her ex which she handled with the dexterity of the most experienced chopper the logs and bushes were piled and burnt by her own strong and untiring hand crops were raised by which with the fruit of her fishing and unerring rifle she supported herself and her hearty brood of children as a place of refuge from the assaults of indians or dangerous wild beasts she dug out an underground room into which through a small entrance made to open over an underhanging thicket on the bank of the stream she nightly retreated with her children frequently during the dreary winter nights she was kept awake by the howling of the wolves and sometimes looking through the chinks in the logs she could see them loping in circles around the cabin whining and snuffing the air as if they yearned for human blood they were gaunt fierce looking creatures and in the winter time their hunger made them so bold that they would come up to the door and scratch against it the barking of her mastiff would soon drive the cowardly beasts away but only a few rods to the edge of the clearing where sitting on their haunches they frequently watched the house all night galloping away into the woods when day broke here she continued to reside thus living thus laboring unassisted till by her own hand and the help which her boys soon began to afford her she cleared up a valuable farm and placed herself in independent circumstances miss hannah fox tells the following thrilling story of an adventure that befell her while engaged in felling trees in her mother's woods in rhode island and the early colonial days we were making fine progress with our clearing and getting ready to build a house in the spring my brother and i worked early and late often going without our dinner when the bread and meat which we brought with us was frozen so hard that our teeth could make no impression upon it without taking too much of our time my brother plied his axe on the largest trees while i worked at the smaller ones or trimmed the boughs from the trunks of such as had been felled the last day of our chopping was colder than ever the ground was covered by a deep snow which had crusted over hard enough to bear our weight which was a great convenience in moving from spot to spot in the forest as well as in walking to and from our cabin which was a mile away my brother had gone to the nearest settlement that day leaving me to do my work alone as a storm was threatening i toiled as long as i could see and after twilight felled a sizable tree which in its descent lodged against another not liking to leave the job half finished i mounted the almost prostrate trunk to cut away a limb and let it down the bowl of the tree was forked about 20 feet from the ground and one of the divisions of the fork would have to be cut asunder a few blows of my axe and the tree began to settle but as i was about to descend the forks split and the first joints of my left hand fingers slid into the crack so that for the moment i could not extricate them the pressure was not severe and as i believed i could soon relieve myself by cutting away the remaining portion i felt no alarm but at the first blow of the axe which i held in my right hand the trunk changed its position rolling over and closing the split with the whole force of its tough oak and fibers crushing my fingers like pipe stems at the same time my body was dislodged from the trunk and i slid slowly down till i hung suspended with the points of my feet just brushing the snow the air was freezing and every moment growing colder no prospect of any relief that night the nearest house a mile away no friends to feel alarmed at my absence for my mother would suppose that i was safe with my brother while the latter would suppose i was by this time at home the first thought was of my mother it will kill her to know that i died in this death trap so near home almost within hearing of her voice there must be some escape but how my axe had fallen below me and my feet could almost touch it it was impossible to imagine how i could cut myself loose unless i could reach it my only hope of life rested on that keen blade which lay glittering on the snow within reach of my hand was a dead bush which towered some eight feet above me and by a great exertion of strength i managed to break it holding it between my teeth i stripped it of its twigs leaving two projecting a few inches at the lower end to form a hook with this i managed to draw towards me the head of the axe until my fingers touched it when it slipped from the hook and fell again upon the snow breaking through the crust and burying itself so that only the upper end of the health could be seen up to that moment the recollection of my mother and the first excitement engendered by hope had almost made me unconscious of the excruciating pain in my crushed fingers and the sharp thrills that shot through my nerves as my body swung and twisted in my efforts to reach the axe but now as the axe fell beyond my reach the reaction came hope fled and i shuddered with the thought that i must die there alone like some wild thing caught in a snare i thought of my widowed mother my brother the home which we had toiled to make comfortable and happy i prayed earnestly to god for forgiveness of my sins and then calmly resigned myself to death which i now believed to be inevitable for a time which i afterwards found to be only five minutes but which then seemed to me like hours i hung motionless the pain had ceased for the intense cold blunted my sense of feeling a numbness stole over me and i seemed to be falling into a trance from which i was roused by a sound of bells born to me as a from a great distance hope again awoke and i screamed loud and long the woods echoed my cries but no voice replied the bells grew fainter and fainter and at last died away but the sound of my voice had broken the spell which cold and despair were fast throwing over me a hundred devices ran swiftly through my mind and each device was dismissed as impracticable the health of the axe caught my eye and in an instant by an association of ideas it flashed across me that in the pocket of my dress there was a small knife another sharp instrument by which i could extricate myself with some difficulty i contrived to open the blade and then withdrawing the knife from my pocket and gripping it as one who clings to the last hope of life i strove to cut away the wood that held my fingers in its terrible vice in vain the wood was like iron the motion of my arm and body brought back the pain which the cold had lulled and i feared that i should faint after a moment's pause i adopted a last expedient nerving myself to the dreadful necessity i disjointed my fingers and fell exhausted to the ground my life was saved but my left hand was a bleeding stump the intensity of the cold stopped the flow of blood i tore off a piece of my dress bound up my fingers and started for home my complete exhaustion and the bitter cold made that the longest mile i had ever traveled by nine o'clock that evening i had managed to drag myself more dead than alive to my mother's door but it was more than a week before i could again leave the house the difficulties encountered by the first immigrant bands from massachusetts on their journey to connecticut may be understood best when we consider the face of the country between massachusetts bay and hartford it was a succession of ridges and deep valleys with swamps and rapid streams and covered with forests and thickets where bears wolves and catamounts prowled the journey which occupies now but a few hours then generally required two weeks to perform the early settlers men women and children pursued their toilsome march over this rough country picking their way through morasses wading through rivers and streams and climbing mountains driving their cattle sheep and swine before them some came on horseback the older and feebler in ox carts but most of them traveled on foot at night aged and delicate women slept under the trees in the forest with no covering but the foliage and the cope of heaven the winter was near at hand and the nights were already cold and frosty many of the women had been delicately reared and yet were obliged to travel on foot for the whole distance reaching their destination in a condition of exhaustion the ill prepared them for the hardships of the ensuing winter some were nursing mothers who sheltered themselves and their babes in rude huts where the wind rain and snow drove in through yawning fissures which there was no means to close others were aged women who in sore distress sent up their prayers and rolled their quavering hymns to the wintry skies their only canopy the story of these hapless families is told in the simple but effective language of the old historian on the 15th of october 1632 about 60 men women and children with their horses cattle and swine commenced their journey from massachusetts through the wilderness to connecticut river after a tedious and difficult journey through swamps and rivers over mountains and rough grounds which were passed with great difficulty and fatigue they arrived safely at their respective destinations they were so long on their journey and so much time and pains were spent in passing the river and in getting over their cattle that after all their exertions winter came upon them before they were prepared this was an occasion of great distress and damage to the plantation the same autumn several other parties came from the east including a large number of women and children by different routes and settled on the banks of the connecticut river the winter set in this year much sooner than usual and the weather was stormy and severe by the 15th of november the connecticut river was frozen over and the snow was so deep and the season so tempestuous that a considerable number of the cattle which had been driven on from the massachusetts could not be brought across the river the people had so little time to prepare their huts and houses and to erect sheds and shelter for their cattle that the sufferings of man and beast were extreme indeed the hardships and distresses of the first planters of connecticut scarcely admit of a description to carry much provision or furniture through a pathless wilderness was impracticable their principal provisions and household furniture were therefore put on several small vessels which by reason of delays and the tempestuousness of the season were cast away several vessels were wrecked on the coast of new england by the violence of the storms two shallops laden with goods from boston to connecticut were cast away in october on brown's island near the garnet's nose and the men with everything on board were lost a vessel with six of the connecticut people on board which sailed from the river for boston early in november was about the middle of the month castaway and manomet bay the men and women got on shore and after wandering 10 days in deep snow and a severe season without meeting any human being arrived nearly spent with cold and fatigue at new plymouth by the last of november or beginning of december provisions generally failed in the settlements on the river and famine and death looked the inhabitants sternly in the face some of them driven by hunger attempted their way and that severe season through the wilderness from connecticut to massachusetts of 13 in one company who made this attempt one in passing the river fell through the ice and was drowned the other twelve were ten days on their journey and would all have perished had it not been for the assistance of the indians indeed such was the distress in general that by the 3rd and 4th of december a considerable part of the new settlers were obliged to abandon their habitations 70 persons men women and children were compelled in the extremity of winter to go down to the mouth of the river to meet their provisions as the only expedient to preserve their lives not meeting with the vessels which they expected they all went on board the rebecca a vessel of about 60 tons this two days before was frozen in 20 miles up the river but by the falling of a small rain and the influence of the tide the ice became so broken and was so far removed that she made a shift to get out she ran however upon the bar and the people were forced to unlead her to get off she was released and in five days reached boston had it not been for these providential circumstances the people must have perished with famine the people who kept their stations on the river suffered in an extreme degree after all the help they were able to obtain by hunting and from the indians they were obliged to subsist on acorns malt and greens numbers of the cattle which could not be got over the river before winter lived through without anything but what they found in the woods and meadows they wintered as well or better than those which were brought over and for which all the provision was made and pains taken of which the owners were capable however a great number of cattle perished the dorchester or windsor people lost in this way alone about 200 pounds sterling their other losses were very considerable it is difficult to describe or even to conceive the apprehensions or distresses of a people in the circumstances of our venerable ancestors during this doleful winter all the horrors of a dreary wilderness spread themselves around them they were compassed with numerous fierce and cruel tribes of wild and savage men who could have swallowed up parents and children at pleasure in their feeble and distressed condition they had neither bread for themselves nor children neither habitation nor clothing convenient for them whatever emergency might happen they were cut off both by land and water from any sucker or retreat what self-denial firmness and magnanimity are necessary for such enterprises how distressing in the beginning was the condition of those now fair and opulent towns on connecticut river under the most favorable circumstances the lives of the pioneer woman must have been one long ordeal of hardship and suffering the fertile valleys were scenes of the bloodiest indian raids while the remote and sterile hill country if it escaped the attention of the hostile savage was liable to be visited by other ills famine in such regions was always imminent and the remoteness and isolation of those frontier cabins often made relief impossible a failure in the little crop of corn which the thin soil of the hillside scantily furnished and the family were driven to the front for game and to the streams for fish to supply their wants then came the winter and the cabin was often blockaded with snow for weeks the fuel and food consumed nothing seemed left to the doomed household but to struggle on for a season and then lie down and die fortunately the last sad catastrophe was of rare occurrence owing to the extraordinary resolution and hardy hood of the settlers it is a striking fact that in all the records chronicles and letters of the early settlers that have come down to us there are scarcely to be found any complaining word from woman she simply stated her sufferings the dangers she encountered the hardships she endured and that was all no queerless or peevish complaints no meanings over her hard thought she bore her pains and sorrows and privations in silence looking forward to her reward and knowing that she was making homes in the wilderness and that future generations would rise up and call her blessed end of chapter three | Priceless Audiobooks | UCly1zcKPGzGW9wZMCZodWOA | 2019-02-02 |

forestry and agriculture during a typical semester when we haven't been moved online this lab would be conducted along the Angelina River bottom in a couple different hardwood stands today we'll discuss three different regeneration survey methodologies stock quadrat plots a couple different options to use in planted stands and finally a system design for bottomland hardwoods for red oak and ash bible i at AU today we're discussing regeneration surveys we're here near Boykin Springs in deep East Texas in a longleaf pine forest right beside me we have a small longleaf pine seedling and so with regeneration surveys you're going to use them a number of different times within a rotation you may use them prior to a harvest to determine if you have enough for generation potential seedlings like this possibly that you would release if you remove the overstory in a clear-cut you may use a regeneration survey to determine if you have enough advanced regeneration again seedlings there before the harvest to do an establishment cut or a seed tree cut if you're using even aged silviculture but are removing part of the overstory first to grow that lower cohort or help establish that lower cohort that will become your future stand finally you might do a regeneration survey after a harvest operation or even after planting trees in an attempt to determine if your regeneration method was actually successful or whether it failed regeneration surveys may be necessary for a variety of different reasons if we're generation is unsuccessful that may be information that you need to go and interplay it or even completely replant that forest if you are certified or have some sort of certification for your forest you may need regeneration survey to document that your regeneration methods were successful you may also need regeneration surveys in order to help you predict how that stand will go in the future by knowing how many trees per acre that you are starting with there are two things we can look at with regeneration surveys we can look at them on a stocking basis how many trees per acre we have or we can look at them on a percentage basis so if you've planted 500 pine trees per acre or hardwood trees per acre you can go count and find out what your percent mortality is and what your percent survival is that percent survival is going to be a lot more difficult to obtain on a naturally regenerated stand because you may not have data on how many trees actually established and how many have died versus how many have survived one simple method to use for regeneration survey then applies to any species any cover type or any desired stocking level will be a stock quadrat approach and the stock quadrat is extremely simple you need to know how many trees per acre that you want so for a longleaf if we think that we want 300 per acre or 500 per acre we need to make that determination in advanced if we wanted 500 longleaf pines per acre to determine that our regeneration attempt was successful all we then do is figure out the radius of a circular plot that is one five hundredth of an acre and so you can use simple equipment like a loggers tape and once you know that radius you'll be able to go out and assess your different plots right now we're gonna calculate the radius of a plot if we know the acreage so let's start with the fact that we know there are 43,560 square feet per one acre okay so I just mentioned a 1 500 acre plot is what we want to look at so this is pretty straightforward if I take 43 560 and I divide it by 500 that's gonna equal the area of the plot in square feet and it's because we knew that it was a 500 acre plot we knew there were 43 560 square feet in an acre and so the units cancel out to the point that we get one plot per so many square feet okay and so that's the first step to learn your area and then once you learn your area in this case I know area equals 87 point for you in zoom here there we go 87 point 1/2 square feet for a 500 acre plot so now what we need after this is our formula for a circle area equals PI R squared so let me do it like you would code it into Excel so the PI with the open and close parentheses is how Excel accepts 3.14159 etc times the radius squared okay and so when I just want to start solving this equation algebraically I know PI it's a constant I know area eighty seven point one two square feet in this example so I want to calculate R so the first thing I need to do is put our on its own side of the equation so I'll divide both sides of this equation by PI so I have area over pi equals R squared okay so now I need to get R by itself without it being squared so what I'll do is I'll take the square root of both sides of the equation so I'm going to put brackets in here area over PI and have a handy square root symbol on here so let me just raise this to the point five power raising something to the half power is the same as taking the square root of it we've gone over that or earlier this semester already equals R well now I have my equation and so when I put all this together let me just copy up for you here and show you what it would look like for your calculator you can of course use the PI button this PI function in Excel but I have my eighty-seven point one two or you can just enter it manually equals 3.14159265 etc etc and so I'll do this math first and when I do that I get twenty seven point seven three if I'm doing this on a calculator and then I take the square root of twenty seven point seven three and that equals five point two six six if I do this very precisely here's the thing well you're measuring this out on a loggers tape in the woods so do you think you can be precise to the thousandth of an inch or the thousandth of a foot absolutely not we may be able to do a hundredth of a foot that's stretching really a tenth of a foot is all we really need so for the purposes of a stop quadrat plot if you just went through there and did five point three feet that's gonna be pretty darn close that's not gonna introduce any more error then you're gonna do just by missing a seedling here there something along those lines and so now we have the radius of our plot for a 500-acre it equals five point three feet so remember that is a radius that is not a diameter and so if you want to go and actually put this plot in there here's our circular plot and just remember that the radius is only half of it okay so it's actually gonna be ten point six feet or if we want to be more precise ten point five feet all the way across in diameter because the diameter is two radii you once you know the radius of your plot a very simple way to implement a stock quadrat is to find a stick on your sight measure and break it to the radius of your plot then you can use this simple stick as a measurement device if you decide your plot centers here you can set up your plot systematically where you're walking so many chains on a grid creating that grid and putting a plot in and each grid point or you could distribute them randomly using GIS software but once you locate one of your plots you simply put your stick at plot Center you rotate it completely around to form that circle here's where stock quadrat is very simple if I determine that this is a free to grow seedling of a desirable species in my plot that plot of stock you check market okay so the plot is stocked or not stocked I have one long leaf pine seedling in here that makes this plot stocked if I had dozens right here the plot would still be stocked if this is my plot Center for another plot right here I use my handy stick again I look at the full radius of my plot and as I look throughout that entire circular plot I'm not seeing any long leaf pine seedlings for species like longleaf you may need to be careful it has a grass stage it can be very difficult to observe but if you know what to look for and you've defined what that free to grow seedling is I'm not seeing one here this plot is unstuck one more thing that we need to know when we're doing any regeneration survey is what a free to grow seedling is okay so a free to grow seedling is a tree that can make it into a dominant or codon in a crown position in your stand depending on what your management regime is going to be so a seedling that's over topped by higher competing vegetation or that's very close to a larger tree that you don't plan to remove and future harvests would not be considered a free to grow seedling you also need to know what species are desirable in your stand so if you've planted trees you know what species those are those are your desirable species in natural regeneration you may need to make a list of the species that you want based on your management objectives in a stand like this we may just want longleaf pine so we might have one species on our list if you're managing a bottom land hardwood stand you might have dozens of species on your list that you find desirable to meet your management objective sometimes we may consider saplings trees in the sapling size class even larger than seedlings but smaller than pulp wood we may consider those in a regeneration survey even trees up to 4 or 5 inches in diameter at breast height there are other considerations there for example if you're managing for timber in this longleaf pine stand the sweep we're seeing on this would cause you to discount it as regeneration this isn't a tree that's ever gonna make a good dominate or codominant tree so there's no reason to count this as a free to grow seedling you might have seedlings of other species like this sweet gum here if this sweet gum is undesirable for our management objective as it may be in this longleaf pine forest we're not going to count it it's not the right species however if you have a nicely formed sapling that like this longleaf pine here that may be a tree that you count in a regeneration survey even though it's not a small seedling it's much larger some trees of some species now longleaf pine does not sprout but many hardwood trees will Reese Prout from the stump so you may actually count on that as a major source of advanced regeneration in a stand where if you cut the tree the sprouts will come out and that's going to be your next dominant or Co dominant tree so in some cases you're actually counting on the stump or even the root sprouting potential in species like Aspen for your regeneration in the next stand and so you go and you do all your different plots and by the time you get to the end of your survey you just divide the total number of stock plots like this one by total plots and you get a percentage if 85 or 90 percent of your plots were stocked you may not have any problem with regeneration that's a good indication if you've done a systematic grid that you probably have regeneration well distributed throughout your site there are two downsides to this approach one you don't get stocking we have no idea how many trees per acre we have out here because I counted this plot stock with this one longleaf pine and I may have countered another one right over there is stocked if it had 20 long youth in it we have no idea how many trees per acre we have in the younger cohort the other disadvantage is if all you're using is that percent number you have no idea where they are so if I tell you that this stand is 85 percent stocked with longleaf pine regeneration that sounds good but what happens if 85 percent of my area on one side of the stand is well stocked almost 100 percent stocked but I have this corner where regeneration failed maybe different soil conditions different light conditions something different over there well then I don't know that I do have 15 percent area of my stand in one general location that may be under stock where I would have an opportunity to enter plan or replant that potentially to fix this problem with regeneration there's a simple fix for that second problem all you need to do is bring a map with you this could be in digital form on a tablet this could be an old-fashioned paper map and you simply mark which plots are stocked and which aren't on that map and at the end of your survey you'll be very easily able to look at this map and you'll be able to see oh this is the area where I have unstack plots that area may need further attention so you can see a major advantage to the stock plot approach is that it is very quick you spend more time walking between plots than you actually spend in plots collecting data because it's either yes they're stocked or no they are not it's a very quick approach to use unless of course you have a very thick site that's difficult to move through and then any survey method you're going to use is going to be difficult in the first year or two after planting a pine plantation you may want to go through into a regeneration survey so you can see if you need to enter plant that stand these trees honestly might be a little too big by this point it appears they're in about their third year if you inter planted seedlings and in amongst these you can see they would probably get out competed by these older trees so you might be wasting money but if you had smaller younger Pines first year to post planning you do have any opportunity to inter plant of course if you've got much more substantial mortality you know then you might need to replant the whole stand even if you didn't catch it until two or three years following the initial planting now the advantage of doing a regeneration survey and a pine plantation you could do stop quadrat that we've just gone over already that works in natural stands or planted stands but the advantage you have here is I can see the tree rose they planted them right down this way and so I know about the spacing they're supposed to planted a mat and I can go through and I can count on that spacing I can pick a fifty tree interval or I can pick a hundred trees whatever I want and I can go count how many are there how many are missing and very quickly get an estimate of percent survival then I can go pick a row somewhere else in the stand and get random locations with some simple little row plots that'll give me a good indication of survival of course in a pine plantation the other thing you may run into you may not want percent survival sometimes we have an adjacent pine stand over here that's mature it may be blowing seed in we may get a lot of volunteer seedlings and at that point you may want to put in some you may have too many volunteer Pines and if you have too many say more than eight hundred you may consider coming out and doing a pre commercial thin to drop your planing density or your current density back to closer what you intended to as a planting density we're here in a bottomland hardwoods stand we're in a back slough off of the Atoyac Bayou here in beep East Texas and so this is an example of a stand where you could use the Balai at al regeneration survey method so this is a regeneration survey method that's been parameterised specifically for red oaks and ash which are some of our higher timber value species in our southern bottom lands that being said you may not want to manage for ash anymore since the emerald ash borer is extra paiting it across much of its native range many folks managing hardwood ecosystems are now simply removing ash while they can before the insect comes in and kills it but it still works well for red oak and when I say red oak I'm not speaking of southern red oak quercus falcata specifically we're talking about red oak group Oaks so I have a small willow oak right here beside me quickest fellows it'll have the on the little bristle sticking out the tip of each lobe and that's how you morphologically tell that you have an oak that is in the red oak group so this system will apply for willow oak water oak laurel oak which are some of our most common bottomland oaks in the southern coastal plain and it also applies to higher value species that we would like to manage like cherry bark Oh Nuttall oak Shumard oak and others this was designed for minor bottoms in Mississippi we can't apply it here in East Texas it may be a little inaccurate because we're at the fringe of the range of many of these species but it's that one of the best tools that we've got for this approach you set up a 100th of an acre circular plot for this system I'll let you calculate the radius on that and in that 100 acre plot what you're going to do is you're going to survey everything in that plot and you're gonna tally red oaks and ash species by size within your hundredth acre plot what you're gonna do is tally seedlings my size class our smallest size classes trees less than a foot tall so very small seedlings then we move up two trees between one foot tall and three feet tall slightly larger seedlings the next size class is trees that are between three feet in height and one inch in diameter at breast height and that doesn't make sense at first right how can you sample a tree where it's got this category that's made up of both the diameter and a height but when we look at how you do that so say I had a tree that was only three feet tall well I measured evh at four and a half feet that tree would not have a DBH yet because it's not four and a half feet tall as it grows taller taller taller it eventually ends up having a DBH and once it gets tall enough like this tree we don't want to bother measuring the height anymore I don't want to carry a height Pole around down here and estimate height on lots of these trees on a stand so now I just measure DBH it's right here it's accessible it's easy and eventually a tree will get up to a DBH of one inch so that's how greater than three feet but less than one inch DBH makes sense as a discrete size class this willow Keir is clearly in the one to five inch DBH category looks like it's about three and a half inches in BBH so that's where we would tallow this as a red oak one to 5 inches DBH this tree you may cut down in that logging operation potentially but you would anticipate an oak this young and small in diameter to have a high probability to stump sprout because of its small size it probably wouldn't get too many sprouts so they would probably have decent form as a co dominant and dominant tree later in that rotation and the advantage in growth rate of having the root system of this larger tree to start with so that would give them a competitive advantage this is one of those small ash trees that would be in the greater than three feet tall but less than one inch in DBH category so that's where you would score this if it were in our hundred acre plot this is an example of how you would measure one of these hundredths acre plots I'm standing in the middle one that I have measured out right here and so right off the bat I have an ash tree and so I'm gonna score this as slightly more than one inch DBH so it's gonna go in our 1 to 5 inch DBH category right here so this has a lot of regeneration potential for this plot if you're counting ash your dendera skills have to be pretty good to do this because I look at this tree many students I've seen in tundra can easily mistake this for an ash if you're not paying attention to opposite or alternate this is pinnately compound it's alternate however it has serrated leaf margins this is a Hickory so this isn't going to count towards our tally because remember this system works solely for red oak and ash now as I look around in this baxlo I can see a lot of damage that Auguste have done that's probably disturbed some of the seedlings I might otherwise find here this is being filmed in April 2020 we've had a pretty wet winter in East Texas so this back Slough definitely takes on some water over winter I'm standing in some pretty thick mud right now but as I look around I'm seeing a lot of grass I'm seeing a lot of poison ivy but honestly I'm not seeing any small tree seedlings of really any species there's some rubus in here some blackberry but you know no real small tree seedlings that makes my job easy for this system if I had dozens of little seedlings of red oak and ash species you're gonna be counting them for this system now while you're counting them once you have enough points you know looking at your tally sheet that you're gonna be over 95% stocking for that plot if you need the data for something else you could continue counting seedlings but once you realize the plot has a greater than 95% probability of being stocked if you don't need that data that that may be all you need to know you can move along to the next plot save yourself a little bit of time I've got another tree back in here that would be in my 1 to 5 inch size class which is in my plot but it's another Hickory so again you have to be able to tell ash apart from Hickory you need to be able to tell your red oaks apart from your white Oaks and other species that may appear similar to them so that's how this plot would score out now let me score it out for you on the sheet so you can see how that works all right here is our tally sheet for the balai a towel method and so you can see a column right here for our counts the easiest way to tally counts in there remember is gonna be our dot box tally system where the first four trees you tally our dots in the corners of a box the next four are lines creating the side of the box and then the final two are lines creating necks in the middle of the Box you can see spaces a little tight so that'll help you get all your trees in there okay so let's look at the scenario the plot that we just broke down in the field and so what we saw is we had a single ash so you can see right here are my ash this top box up here's four red oaks they're similar in a lot of regards they each have our three size classes less than a foot one two three feet greater than three feet to one inch DBH we went over that a couple times and then one to five inches and so what we observed on that plot out near the Alice am Bayou was a single ash in our plot greater than three feet but less than one inch DBH when we put a tally mark there okay so that was the only tree this one's gonna be easy to work up my count was one each of these ash trees is worth twelve points so that gives me 12 total points here okay I'm gonna switch over to the textbox that may work a little easier so our total red oak points for the whole plot zero we didn't observe any our total ash points off that one tree twelve we only saw the one tree it had twelve points total red oak and ash points for the whole plot well it was just that one ash tree that gave us 12 points probability of red oak stocking what I do now is I look at this table on my right and you add up your total points and get to your probability well if you have zero we can just go ahead and put in zero it's not even on the table but there you go probability of a stocking let me look up 12 and I can see with that single ash tree in my plot yielded a 65% probability of ash all stocking finally I want the probability of either red oak or ash stocking and so what I need to do there I don't want to sum the zero in the 65 in this particular case it comes out the same but say for example I had a a little bit different scenario here let's pretend instead I also had one point four oaks let's say I got a count of one of these little oak seedlings I had one oak seedling less than a foot in the pot that would have given me one total point so here I would have got instead of zero there I would have ended up with one point let me change that to one for us and then my points here in total would have been thirteen not twelve for all of them well if I do that then my probability of red oak stocking becomes eight percent I can look up that one point is worth eight percent so here's where you go wrong with that eight plus 65 would make me think that I needed to just add those together and down here I would put in seventy-three eight plus 65 equals 73 I put that right there for either red oak or Ash stocking however what I need to do is look at the points thirteen I look up thirteen right here on my table and it's not 73 and sixty-eight so I would have overestimated that by about five percent now is that five percent meaningful when you're taking hardwood seedlings and projecting their growth ten or twenty years into the future there's gonna be a lot of error around that but we'll still do the best that we can okay so let's look at a few other possible scenarios you might run into on this tool and so let me erase some of the stuff I put on here for us so from a practical standpoint when you get to 35 points we can see even 34 we're at 95% probability of that cloth stocking meaning that plot eventually produces Kodama her dominant trees of red oaks or ash that's plenty good that's you know nothing's really ninety-five percent in forestry right that's that's more certainly than we can really fact in the real world so if you end up with 60 point 70 points let's just call it 95 percent that's good a good enough estimate so as you're in the field doing this if you start you know tallying up seedlings and you see hey I've got four ash trees that are in the one to three foot size class you're done you know it's 95 percent you don't have to worry about everything else unless you want that data for some other purpose here let's let's do another example for you and let's say we got two seedlings here let's go with three seedlings here and so I had a count of two in the one to three foot class let me let me add in one more here for the count let's say we got this one little local seedling less than a foot tall so let me work this up for you as an example here's my type three that should be one it fits that so I had one seedling times one point per seedling that gave me one total point now I have two of these seedlings in the one to three foot class three and a half points each and so two times three and a half is gonna give me seven and so I'll enter that there you can put zeros in here if you want I'm just gonna leave them blank and so now I add up my total points here and I arrived at eight for the red oaks let's go down here to ash three seedlings less than one foot tall one point apiece that easily gives me three points total points for ash three okay so that's pretty easy now total red oak and ash points I'm gonna add my three in my eight up so I just add up all the total points off the whole diagram but I'm already done subtotal so I'll just use those makings so I'm sitting there looking at eleven now let me look up the probability of red oak stocking I have eight red oak points right here in this row on our table that's fifty percent let me look at ash three total points that's twenty three percent so again remember don't just add the fifty in the twenty three and assume that it's seventy three percent probability of stopping either instead I'm gonna look up eleven sixty two percent and so there I've worked this up so then you can start making decisions on 62% good enough that you'd be willing to do say an establishment cut a shelter would and that's a little bit where the heart of silviculture starts coming in you have to look at what's going on across all your plots on the landscape um one more scenario you can run into that I haven't really gone over here let's say you end up with seventeen and a half points so let me circle that right here so seventeen and a half points is halfway between 17 and 18 it's possible to get that because you can see some of these and interpolate five and so we could linearly interpolate basically 17 to 18 goes from 77 to 79 percent we could just call that 78% because it is halfway and that's how you use the data sheet for the Bly @al stocking method for minor River bottoms in Mississippi but we'll apply this here in East Texas thanks for watching the SFA silviculture regeneration survey lab we went over regeneration surveys in general and then looked at three specific methodologies the stock quadrat approach some suggestions for pine plantations and other plantations and finally the blyat al meth inappropriate for bottomland hardwoods in the u.s.

nKfFrLwFE7U | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKfFrLwFE7U | Only The Valiant 1951- Gregory Peck/Barbara Payton | you my name is Joe harmony this is my stamping ground I'm a scout for the army had my work cut out for me for a long time behind that pass there's the whole patchy nation they used to come swarming out of that pass killing everything in sight then we built a fort fort invincible plugged up the pass just like a cork in a bottle things was fine for a while but then patchi's is pretty smart one day the bottle blew the cork plumb apart you No ah just as I figure that's two soos boss all Apaches fella latestarter this whole business is step aside corporal the army doesn't shoot prisoners Joe I'm a civilian take him back to Fort Winston with us you crazy this ain't no common engine he's just about as near to of God as a fella can get it shoot him now things aquire down without to so sternum up the rest of them Injuns would get reasonable just as fast as they can but you take him in alive you'll have every Apache in the territory coming after him we had three years of this you can stop it right now we'll take him back to Winston Joe suit yourself dick all right lieutenant Underwood yes it detail a man to return to Fort Winston having a told Colonel Drummond we're bringing two so said yes sir I put a burial detail the words I want this place looking like a cavalry post before we leave yes that's all he ever cares about it leave it looking neat and the prison over to the guard and dismissed the detail yes sir detail dismount I tell you I never saw the likes of a nice record up for me there were 16 million in years 16 million Michael yeah and they're running through that pass like a bunch of crazy Jackrabbits or stop that noise right there stands this fellow to sauce waiting to be shot just waiting to be shot and what is our captain do he says men I want this place cleaned up and looking like a cavalry post that first thing you do and that's all he said hey collies enough to drive a man to drink that's the last time I ever go anyplace without this do you have any orders to go through the pass or to shoot to Soze how do I know well if he didn't he wouldn't orders was made to be properly not with Captain Lance I ought to know that better than anybody what's the matter what Saxton how that he's tired of Tooting his bugle wants a carbine you should have seen the poor lad up there shaking in his boots II was I was his first time first time yeah I know all about that listen you either got it or you ain't got it and he ain't got sir hmm are you did you want to say something no good two cards please Oh captain from the Colonel's in his room sit down captain argue soon so you got him Richard and they're all dead up there seldom all of them yes it's hard it can be worse there been a few times in my life Richard when I regretted having to obey orders this is one of them I almost wish you'd kill two souls up there instead of bringing him in as it is you saw these settlers on the parade ground they've been coming in for three or four days now looking for protection but it's blast a little protection they've got we're under strength the relief column won't be here for at least 10 days they're sending 400 men which is enough to handle anything but if the Apaches make a sari too free to sauce as they undoubtedly will this can be another for invincible we've got to get to suss up to Fort grant right away the first thing tomorrow morning yes sir have the adjutant write out orders for a detail I'll I leave it in your hands to choose an officer and I'm heavy please go now captain dad oh thank you dear yeah no thanks I'll that's it hello dick come in I was wondering where you were I got the same treatment dick so don't feel too proud I guess it was pretty grim with invincible that's pretty grim what do you think happened Seldon forget to put on Pickett's one's too often no two souls cut off their water supply all he had to do then was wait that's a smart one that Apache bottle the whiskey dick follow thanks ed right now I command a cab when a real action besides it tastes mighty good I'll bet it does but I got work to do tonight that's the trouble with you Richard Lance you're always working do this do that ten thousand things to do it and when you finally get around to me it's for three minutes if bill treated me like that Oh bill was a captain I was lieutenant he could make out the reports and I could get here first thanks I like everything just the way it is not that you can't come and visit us from Kathy and I'm married but Jeff how haven't I told you I'm gonna propose to you tonight Oh seeing I got here first I asked for the pleasure of the company the beautiful daughter of Captain Everson hello and behold I got it so I'll thank you not to make any overtures don't worry dick I'll see that they don't stay out too late I will tell you the truth ed I've gotta get a lot of sleep tonight anyway what I'm taking two says after Fort grant first thing in the morning no wish that on you the army what do you think that's a mighty dangerous detail the way things are keeping him around here now the beautiful daughter of captain efficient little I have to sleep tonight right Kathy my building good night dick I miss you before I go if you get up real early to drive a woman insane running off like that show me how much you're gonna miss me I'm taking a lot of showing you know try that's how much I'm gonna miss you better stop or I'll go over there and mm I believe it all like that hey Simpson yeah cowboy right you're on a patrol tomorrow 5:30 tonight I thought you'd like where's caboose probably tagging along after lieutenant Holloway I suppose you thanks Gilchrist I've done nothing for you Murdock you brought two souls back Lance is taking you back to Fort grant tomorrow you going with him what do you think well the country's beautiful this time of year mr. Murdock he just does easy if the whole patrol committed suicide tonight see the catching a lot of trouble and if Lance don't want to shoot himself I'll be glad to do it for him I wouldn't mind having that pleasure myself but I'll say one thing if there's anybody can take to social up to Fort grant his captain Lance I hate his black heart too but he's still the best officer I ever served under didn't the captain really want to shoot him well he's sure but he wants to do it all neat and proper according to regulations the way should have shot you on stud except deserters get hung unless

I certainly did Richard what do you think you're doing sir I told you to assign an officer to the detail it is taking to those back I didn't say assign yourself you didn't say not to sir I thought you had more sense the land you know we've got nothing but a cat ray here and you should know if you don't that you're the only officer I have any faith in I'm a sick man Richard despite what Jennings tells me I'm in no position to handle the post you're the only person here I can depend on I don't want you taking to source up to Fort grant too many lives depend on your being here we're orders are out sir you can't change I can change any orders I ever gave and I'm changing those right now I want you to wake up the adjutant and tell him to put lieutenant Holloway in charge of the detail that is taking to sauce back all the way he's a good man isn't he yes sir he's one of the best but then he's the officer commanding the detail I've never argued with you but don't argue with me now captain that's the way I want it yes sir anything else that's all Richard Lance stater the minute they started we knew we had him and it was a slaughter high-water mark of the Confederacy they called it come in hello dick not asleep yet you're taking over the to SOSE detail bill I'm sorry they're joking I wouldn't joke about a thing like that no of course you wouldn't looks like tonight's man lucky night that's funny first time I remembered order being changed around here like rewriting the Bible well it's one time I don't mind making it easy on the captain do I Cathy and I guess I'm the one who needs sleep now good night Kevin Big Mac oh good night dick that was a cruel thing to do cruel why did you do it why I know what you're talking about kid you're not fooling me I've lived in an army post all my life dad's right orders don't get changed unless someone goes to an awful lot of trouble to change you Kathy believe me it's just the way things are I was planning to go myself until you saw bill kissing me and then you went directly to Colonel drum I never Kathy I don't know what it's all about dictums whatever it is I'm gonna do prepare to mount mom good luck no thanks dick good luck Joe that you dick forward Oh you've been standing at that wall the last three nights wonder when he sleeps what makes you think he can Oh who goes there I brought back a friend of yours Phil Holloway what's left put him in the garden get done a wrong thing dick want to take a look just as well well you Joe take care of them soldier yes sir what you gonna tell me how it happened yeah I guess you got a right to know they jumped us about three hours after he left here mean I'm two soldiers only got away cuz who was riding rear garden they took bill alive man the two soldiers wrote circles the next three days trying to catch up with him was heading back here at the south tone we found him was he still alive I guess you might call it alive they were sending him back delivered as a warning well those 400 men covered another week that's what I figured I didn't think to socity sent us a war unless he was dead certain he could wipe us out now he's got to get even with us for captured my guess is air a flare behind a pass beating their war drums right now better guessers that is sure thing I live with the Chiricahuas for 10 years you can learn a lot about engines in 10 years what do you think he's coming and sorry to say might be three days might be less I think she ain't gonna wait for that relief column they get here and nothing's for sure - so Scott a look at this place right this minute he knows our strengths better than the Sargent made you wanna know what you decided Baxter captain Lance they want you back at the gates I'm sorry about the town Holloway say it wasn't a finer office we know what he was to you thank you he was a good officer and a good man I say the army ain't got too many like that give me a hand with these boots rubbish it wasn't for Lance Holloway to still be alive and he'd be dead that's what's wrong with the army wrong guys always get killed Oh first time in four days those toes have seen daylight yeah I'm gonna miss lieutenant Holloway ah that's a lot of talk Murdoch if the truth were known you're probably glad that Holloway got killed it just gives you another chance to apply for a commission huh I'll never get a commission as long as lances around and would you say that was his fault or your fault well maybe they were afraid they might not find another sergeant shut your mouth you dirty rebel well I'll say this much for the captain he can tell the difference between a soldier in a trap and if you can do that you're a good officer I'll leave it up to you or that you went to Westport and Lance had him kicked out well is it Lance's fault if Rutledge does something and is foolish enough to get caught at it Rutledge must love me come way out here to serve endure sure that's what it is love now you're all sore because he knows you for what you really are a bunch of flea-bitten Bella Akers you talk about belly what did you do when the captain took away your liquor rice what did I do oh but drinking I just want to ask you one question suppose you found yourself in a dark alley one night with captain Lance what would you do but what I do I'll tell you what I'd do I'd sneak up behind them they put out my hand and grab him by the throat and I'd hurt him around and I'd say captain have you got a drink on you ah spitting polish that's all he is brain the butcher's wrong get even a bad spot need run yeah run just like a dirty rep you no-good dirty son of a Yankee mule come on down rebel I came out here to fight engines not sergeant you come out here because you were sent from a union prison but what about Lennie deserted after you got here you'd still be running if Lance Aetna caution brought you back that's right I would are you coming down rebel I've got no call to fight with you sergeant well I got a dragon leave me up on my feet why don't you get up on start Murdock you want to twist somebody's leg ain't occupied for the next few minutes here's mine dance it honky I could forgive him I can use him where's that a red eye the captain threw him in the guardhouse ain't you heard him yelling no I ain't the crazy gorilla he can't stand the guardhouse just makes him crazy burial formations will attend it Holloway in 40 minutes any man Missy gets three hours latrine Duty you got it oh yeah rooster all right I'll do it man dire and wasted the way yes man give it up the ghost and where is he though the route there of blacks old in the earth and the stock thereof die in the ground yet through the scent of water it will fight and bring forth powers like a plant as the waters fall from the sea and the flood decay it and dry it up so man lieth down and rise it not till the heavens be no more they shall not awake I'll be raised out of their sleep all right let's take harmonies word for it let's assume toothless is going to attack that means he'll do it before the relief column gets here and that way we don't stand a chance before he attacks he'll have to assemble West to the Flint heads that means you'll have to come through the pass to get here I'd like to take a patrol out to fort invincible I'm trying to hold him off up there no I can't spare you Richard I can't spare the man I mean a small patrol six or seven men six or seven men to sossel have hundreds we can still only get through that pass a few at a time it didn't look so invincible last time you were up there did it all the way I figured you can hold invincible with a small party but only for a short time if I can hold to saw us off up there until the relief column gets here we'll be out of trouble I'll bet the water supply up there I wouldn't carry enough to last two or three days if we're up there any longer than that there won't be needing any and would you want to leave right away tomorrow morning all right Richard I guess it's that or nothing I'll give you the best men left on the pole oh I'd rather pick them out myself certainly take anyone you want have the adjutant write out the orders thank you sir I am I want to apologize for my attitude last time we spoke I wasn't myself I'm glad to see you looking better sir it's many the calm before the storm I'm afraid lad would you good night

listen you remember that something couldn't catch her I finally got a hole to source knows everything he's in no hurry dick it makes no difference if the relief column does come it's John because he knows the whole relief column is made up of only 31 men just 31 men all right commission the moment I think we can assume that by this time tomorrow some of us will be dead I never permitted men to risk death in a combat detail under my command without explaining why also I'd like to straighten out any misapprehensions you may have as to why you were picked for this detail in each case my only consideration was the defense of fort Winston the fort is under man and I picked the men that I thought could best be spared I'm prepared to give you my individual reasons if you want them if not the Detailers dismissed very well sergeant Murdoch as for you your record is an on commas full of nothing but bullying and brutality that's why you haven't been offered your Commission the result is you're a malcontent your absence from fort winston is no loss yes trooper onstott a man who will desert once as a man who will desert again given the slightest opportunity here there won't be any opportunity the desert would be a much worse enemy for you than any of pachi you might have to face trooper FH you came 2,000 miles to serve under my command with only one motive revenge but your intelligence and your training you should have been promoted many times but your record shows nothing good or bad at Winston they need men who are more than adequate yes sir to Picabo check the reason for your presence on this detail won't be found on any record book impossible to transcribe the feelings that a man carries in his soul here the dark thoughts that you carry will be less harm I don't think any other explanation is necessary no sir trumpeter Sexton you have long and publicly made known your wish to trade your trumpet for a carbine last night I gave you one however both you and I know that you're a coward and have no such wish no sir corporal Gilchrist yours is a record of drunkenness brawls and destruction of army property that is unequaled in the United States cavalry somehow you've managed to keep your stripes but in the event of an attack on Winston the proximity of the fort's whiskey would see you end up inevitably in front of the firing squad you've omitted me in your analysis captain your rank entitles you to privacy lieutenant I wish to know why I was included in the detail very well you're here lieutenant because you're an extremely ill man I needed an officer there was nothing to lose by selecting enough you see what I mean any questions yes sir what is I'm sure we all appreciate having our little faults and weaknesses pointed out to us sir but I imagine the captain has a reason for being here too do you think so yes sir I think so we all think so and just even things up a little bit I'd like to have the pleasure of telling the captain what I think that reason is your head you were supposed to take two sus up to Fort grant but you had the orders changed the lieutenant Holloway went out and got himself conveniently killed in your place then you began to feel guilty about it so you figured out a suicide mission and fixed it so you could take every one of us that you'll hate it along with you that's all captain that's the way it is so that's the way it is yes detail 10 this Mitch neurotics yes cap you disappeared for a while last night where were you I went down to the corral to take a look at the horses you're lying aren't you that's an enlisted man's privilege captain it's sign from Homestuck Nelson hasn't showed himself for about 15 minutes you better go out there see if he's alright yes you think you can handle a carbine now about getting careless I think so sir Hey thank you captain don't I get any no do you want to know why no the Indians are on the other side of the wall Cobra why did you shoot your fool I thought better of it shoot him would all be done for the only man can keep this outfit gone where are you on stunt ass Murdock five years I've been in the air and I get captured on account of a dirty breath captain what is it there's Murdock coming back wait a minute captain let's Murdoch no trooper ever carried a carbine that way they'll be coming now fired will okay back there wounded what does he know the trails were Rafa waarom I do yeah as I know it why those knows I can figure it relief column oughta be at the rim sometime tomorrow I want you to ride out there and tell captain comprehend to get here as fast as you can do you really mean that I just said it tonight you might be dead when I get back I'll take my chances on that how do you know I tried to calm her hand how do you know I wouldn't ride for the fort itself all my troubles you know ya know I also know that whatever your faults are you still an army man you can take my horse if you wanna no thanks I got a good one good luck dick good luck to you Jerry I'll bake a column of Kandra ham got 400 men nice round number you already happen pushing open the gate you all right Sexton yes sir fine sir I'd like to try to get

the Seaguar got to do it you just go and get it and you'll find out oh and take that pistol off your belt yes charge of dynamite is under the rocks all you have to do is light the fuse with your cigar when I give the signal yes you have any trouble call my name out once and get back to the floor immediately yes I'm short hard one why you come out under pale flag I came to offer you a chance to surrender you have strange courage dog soldier do you command my tea party that you can speak such words or is it because you think no army but your army no warriors but yours by weight and half-day I kept you your men with beg of water your warriors have great thirst odd one my terms are simple your men will lay down their arms and come through the pass on foot Scout I send back to you he able to speak before he died he spoke still you make turns to true souls you heard help you have send for will do no good one in 30 men our chieftains have promised 400 men it is not their way to promise much and send little I know what I say is true you're a liar there is no more to hear I do not speak foolishly of surrender I have brought with me strong medicine medicine it will make these mountains tremble and leap from the earth I can destroy this pass and all of your warriors with it watch you will see all right corporal captain Lance very well corporal go back to the fort this medicine is controlled from the fort soon you will see you lie hard one your medicine failed you who know all things no nothing to sauce is growing old and foolish no more time for toppdogg soldier returned to fort soldier with no water you will soon be as dust under hooves of our horses what happened I don't know captain the fuse was gone in that little cat thing - somebody tampered that's what I'd say looks like the fuse was gone out of that demonstration charge it's funny could have sworn I put it in makes me wonder about to charge up in the past maybe the fuse has gone out of that one too will captain why don't you take a run up there and see why did you do it Rutledge for all of us caught up here together where did you expect to go with You captain and just remember this I'm not committing suicide I'm killing you no Rutledge you are committing suicide because I'm going back up in that pass with a new fuse the first chance I get from blow it sky-high and whatever you think I didn't bring this patrol up here to get every man killed I'm gonna get out everyone alive that I can and especially you Rutledge I'm gonna get you back to Winston and have you court-martialed I'm gonna have you hung with a strongest length of rope in the whole New Mexico Territory you miss advantage by quarters this was wanted captain luckily this pocket that's exactly what I wanted I can reset these fuses this mission may still be a success judging from the ruckus I hear out there our red brothers are too busy at the moment to pay much attention to us I'll leave somebody to cover me how don't cap I am ready Effendi no you can't go with that shoulder push it I will not let anyone else go all right come on Volta TV burn up get up fat man look good before they kill me I'd like to get my hands loose by

you try to shoot me didn't you sir aimed your carbine at me the other night well I I guess I got nothing to lose now if I admit that that idea might have flitted through my head of it why didn't you do it I can't rightly answer that captain unless unless maybe I got the sudden notion that might kind of spoil things for you not going down the line of duty which is so fond of so to speak no you're a soldier Gilchrist a professional you may be creations worst new son of a soldier but that's what you are that's why you couldn't do it I knew that that's why I didn't have you shot five minutes after I saw you point the muzzle that thing at me you could have had me shot for what I did to them canteens yeah both cases I didn't have enough men for a firing squad anyway I knew that captain meanwhile I wonder if you do something for me anything you say sir I doubt my quarters you'll find my loose tobacco cigarette papers I'm not quite certain where I left him that might have been under

3i3z8xzYQ44 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i3z8xzYQ44 | From Brokers to Leading Brands, Elevating Your Mortgage Business with Therese Oneill | my name's Therese O'Neill I am a speaker and business coach I am delighted this week to be a special guest on prosper's online Prosperity show [Music] and welcome to the online Prosperity show where we bring you insights and strategies to help you achieve success and grow your mortgage brokering practice I'm your host prosper tarawinga and today I have a very special guest Therese how are you doing today very well thank you hello everybody fantastic now Therese comes with over 25 years of experience in the banking Finance commercial lending and mortgage broking industry enter racism as an expert in the field of business coaching and mentoring and she successfully mentored over 200 Fresh Faces into the industry and many of her past clients have become award-winning Brokers today you've probably used some of them to get your home loan or your investment loans and it's all been through the work of a Terrace so today we just invited her so she could share with us her knowledge and proven Frameworks that help mortgage brokers level up their business I want you to get ready to gain valuable insights and so that you can be able to take your practice to new heights now welcome once again to race tell us a little bit um about your journey into the mortgage broking industry and what actually LED you to become a business coach and mentor excellent question Prosper so my career started in banking and finance before there was a mortgage broking industry in Australia so I'm that old I had my first experience I met a mortgage working couple when I was living in Cairns in Far North Queensland I thought it sounded too good to be true and I resigned my position as a mobile lender on the Easter long weekend and begged for a job with them so and that so that was and then that was in the mid 90s and for any mortgage brokers that are listening today um I got paid 150 flat fee for every loan that I wrote back in the day there was no trailing commission so no ongoing trailing commission and what you got paid was um it was no um percentage share of commissions like there is today fantastic so you had to literally earn your keep whatever mortgage that you're putting across is what you are taking home and that was it correct so um so a good uh so it would be a not a typical not an untypical month for me to do 20 or 30 home loan applications fantastic and yeah yeah so that was my entree into the industry that was in its early days and I had access to a panel of four lenders at that time today a mortgage broker would have access to 50. on their lending panel yes so very different times so I did that and then I moved from um um Cairns to Townsville still in Far North Queensland that was during the time of um the timaris war and so Townsville became our got inundated with defense Personnel so the culture of the Town shifted dramatically so there was a whole bunch of money invested in the town of Townsville it had the largest public service Workforce outside of Canberra and those soldiers so anybody not just soldiers but also Army so also Navy Townsville became a base so those soldiers were coming back or doing their tour of 12 months and coming back with a cash gift that in today's dollars would probably be equivalent to 100K tax-free glass or payment for going and doing 12 months in Timor they were spending that money in Townsville so I ran a broken business there we went nuts um so it's interesting working in different markets then moved to Adelaide where I then had two um children and so didn't practice as a broker then but I worked for a national brokerage chain there as their National um sales manager so now I'm working with Brokers all around Australia in very very different conditions and historical fact fun fact for people to know so eight months pregnant seven months pregnant with my first son 911. so I had flown from at like seven months pregnant first pregnancy flown from Adelaide to Sydney because we had a number of brokers in Sydney I go and do appointments that day I'm getting up the next morning my husband called me I'm staying in City apartments and he said have you seen the news and that's when I actually watched it all unfold so that was um so that was not long before I then took maternity leave from the industry and out of Interest also took the last and set flight ever to leave the ground was a return flight from Sydney to Adelaide was how I got home from that so I've experienced some amazing things in my career in this industry absolutely I mean including including parenting young children and also wanting to have a career so navigating that landscape as well um and my children are young adults now but um the challenges that Focus today face as well so that's my um experience in the career being broken being mentoring and coaching Brokers for the last 15. fantastic that's such a you know wealth of knowledge and really um you know deep experience especially um this um Escapade that you just mentioned that you had to fly yeah during 9 11 and I can imagine Everybody's scared during that time and everything was up in the air so you know while you were concluding your question your answer you did mention that there are a few challenges that mortgage brokers are also facing and you alluded to kids what are what what what what are some of these challenges that these Brokers are facing today and especially this competitive market and how do they overcome them yeah so it is a competitive market and but I don't know that mortgage broking real estate agents um accountants trying to crush into new grounds and be more aggressive everybody faces the same challenge which is how to like I'm I'm doing well through efficiencies and that's the stuff I'm managing really well the business I've got um so how do I get more business how so I still need to grow my business so where is that growth going to come from and at the moment it's a contractionary market it's difficult for clients to be able to demonstrate the capacity to afford the loan that they want let alone that they've let alone that they probably already have that technically they can no longer afford so it's a contracted pool of my contracted pool and that's and that extends across all of those Industries as well everybody's impacted by a shrinking Market real estate agents are conveyances are um probably family lawyers are upright because divorce has gone up so they're probably doing okay but a lot of Industries now have changed or contracted so it's a problem so what you need to do is actually extend your network prosper that's where the growth's going to come from absolutely and part of your coaching and teaching everyone's got the same problem absolutely and part of your coaching and teaching has to do a lot with personal branding can we just maybe touch up on personal branding and leveraging uh social media and how they are important aspects of growing um your business and especially how can mortgage brokers effectively use these strategies to stand out from the competition based on what you've mentioned that this is now a um you know a difficult time for for them to to really stand out uh yeah well I oh look on hold so I'm not in uh retail and I'm not an influencer and I don't work in the create a digital space so because I follow Brokers and people in financial services I'd probably have the dullest feed of anybody that owns a mobile phone um so content is poor because the board is not very um it's lacking an emotion it's very safe which is great so there's a lot of content that's absolutely inoffensive and is beautifully created and the feed is wonderful so it's all color coordinated and it all looks amazing but there's it's it's still no matter what channel nowhere no matter whether it's tick tock or Instagram or you still old time on Facebook with groups or LinkedIn it's still a social Channel so unless you're showing me some sort of social um I don't think that your any of your social media is going to necessarily touch my heart if I'm your target if I'm the one whose attention that you're seeking are you doing anything to get my attention and if you don't then you should be listening to me I'm leaving footprints in the snow fantastic I I really love it and and that's the reason why we're connected today because um you know your content is really out there and thought provoking and um one thing that maybe a lot of people find is yes you're right you know they would want to stay on the safer side um you know and this because there's so many different um you know things going on in in the marketplace right now all they just really want is to get more clients and to um you know not Ali and Nate people around them but you've got a mantra you know and I think it's coming from the Taylor Swift song Haters Gonna Hate um can you just touch up a little bit about that and you know like seriously an arena ticket I think okay um but it but it's very true and I think that so um that's a huge fear that people have um that if you do too much or you're too loud or you're too controversial or I'm just far too personal or I put a photo on of my kid and they go what are you doing exploiting your children that we're hugely worried um or a lot of people are hugely worried that that's going to cause some sort of backlash and then there'll be an impact on them but you know what is so first of all if I look like your ex-wife and you're going to hate on me there is nothing that I'm going to be able to do to get change your irrational mind it's an emotional connection you see me you see her and you see the fella that she left you for there is nothing that I'm going to be able to do to dissuade you and you won't like me you will look for reasons to not like me that's your bias so I think I actually think I'm a pretty nice person I'm flawed absolutely um and I've got as I said two young adult children who let me know that all the time um and I'm okay with that and so and if people are going to hate on me and I think like fall bad on you because you don't know me um and so therefore your hate doesn't matter but I I could count on one hand so sort of that hate that I get gas sliding's a bit more prevalent but I I accept that that's um a cost of being loud in my industry where they like you to tone it down and be a bit more respectful fantastic now obviously he's still talking about your industry um and you know how people can really approach the social media there um I've seen a lot of mortgage brokers or people in the financial sector really saying that I'm gonna tell you this but my information is only for advice only uh or general purpose only then what sort of advice or what sort of strategy then can you give someone to say you can still be within the red tape but at least have some sort of um you know personality there because with what you're saying and and what the industry expects of them I'm not seeing some sort of gel going on there and maybe that might leave a lot of people in the industry confused it's not what people are searching social media for they're not there seeking actually professional personalized tailored advice so I wouldn't even you what you want to say shouldn't require all of those disclaimers so that's not necessarily going to get my attention so so right at the moment cost of living is an issue yeah Rising inflation is an issue so those things are going to be an issue for quite some time what about people jumping on online and what are they searching for so on Tick Tock I think it's the second highest search so there's there is a because like this is Tick Tock Australia there is a heap of there is a huge cohort on tick tock tick tock that is searching and they're searching for um a better rate on my home loan so that's what they're searching for on Tick Tock you don't need to then advertise the cheapest right in the market that but what's what people are searching for so put it on your hashtags put on your captions um but make your video entertaining give something away for free and get them following you and then keep them entertained yeah and keep them informed in a way that matters to them and then when they're ready they will find you because they like you because you're socially aware now that makes sense that makes sense because you're speaking the language that they're already speaking and already you know you know participating in the conversation they're already having in there Tick Tock generation can go on to chat GPT and find the cheapest freaking rate and then jump on the website absolutely that generation can do that so bring something to the table um where they want to keep listening to you fantastic I think that's that's a really good um piece of advice there and put off you know your coaching involves building a supportive sort of network and you say that is very crucial for Success now what sort of advice do you have for mortgage brokers to find first of all their tribe and actually start creating those meaningful connections within um you know the industry for them to actually be successful who first of all get started and secondly it's up to you no one's going to jump out because Glenn Ira Council shut down their business networking organization during covert and haven't restarted it um so get out and find the next Council over and see if they've reactivated theirs and if not the next Council over or Google networking groups in or around me get out and make a start and then you'll find so if you're getting out and and popping in and seeing one networking group a week you'll find one or two where you really connect with those people that's what so just get out and do it and also um what are you going to do to be exciting to be memorable so think about that before you um your templated 999.9 website that has no image of you whatsoever that's not also not secure so the first time you send me a follow-up email I'm going to get my Annie spam telling me not to open it because it hasn't come from a secure network so think about that in advance too so what are you doing to stand out and be memorable and probably it's something where you're playing one layer out I'm a mortgage broker gosh I ran into one of those last Tuesday nights so annoying gonna run the other way so same accountant right yeah great unless you're a dolphin trainer at SeaWorld I don't know like what's a really cool exciting occupation at a networking event so um I think to think about being prepared for that absolutely I I believe that because with mortgage brokers they facilitate dreams they actually you know help people uh live their life or Lifestyles that they um want in their life so there's so much to choose from there with how they can introduce themselves now you also um obviously are coaching people and you've got your broker to broker uh coaching sort of program can you tell us a little bit about that and how you know mortgage brokers are actually benefiting at different stages of their career so I've been coaching um face to face and one-on-one via Zoom that we're going back to just just pre-covered so broker to broker is really taking that online so it enables more people to be able to get access to experts so not just myself but um Melissa so one of the co-founders is a multi award-winning mortgage broker set on our Industries Peak board for a number of years and has runs a very successful team of Brokers nearly 20 years so access to her on running teams process systems um entrepreneur mindset and then the lovely hearer who's in her 20s is our digital and social media manager and Coach to Brokers so that they understand and can navigate social channels and also understand the content they need to be planning and executing to be able to get the attention of Millennials and gen Zeds absolutely and me I'm doing I'm doing personality and bold and corporate social responsibility oh fantastic and brand personal brand personality and personal branding is is what you get me coaching you on fantastic I'd love to be a fly on the wall in those classes because it you really know how to first of all brand yourself and a second of all really stand out in a sea of need two people there now you did mention uh Melissa as part of your team and you alluded to the fact that she's an award-winning uh person now with what you have done you've also won quite a lot of awards and Industry Awards can actually provide maybe significant recognition and credibility what are some of the reasons that you believe that mortgage brokers should actually enter industry Awards well I think all business owners should um very strongly consider entering Awards um our industry like a number of others is largely self-nominated so first of all you need to get over yourself nobody's going to nominate you you need to nominate yourself that's just the way it works so that's the first thing secondly by going through the criteria so it's not an easy process there are it depends on the award but there is depending on the award so there are typically um you need to provide evidence of claims around sales and profitability so let's say that that just needs to be compiled and uploaded so that needs to be verifiable independently so that's all fine in addition to that most Awards will have anywhere from five to ten questions and so it's a good opportunity for any business owner to revisit their strategy revisit their plan and to ask themselves in addition to my I know my sales and profits are meet the required minimum standard have I done anything exceptional this year and do I plan on doing anything exceptional in the next 12 months does my business yeah really stand up to um scrutiny so I think it's a good opportunity to do that and to re-articulate what you've done well re-look at your business Vision uh so I think that framework for revisiting your business and benchmarking it against your peers against last year's winners against last year's finest and saying is my business good enough so I spoke to one of my clients today I go the difference between you and the business that you think is going to win the national award in the in the next next month is the fact yeah that they have invested in this key person and you have not so once you do that then you'll you can take them on so it's a good opportunity to Benchmark your because that's where they want to be and this is where they are now so it's now them having the balls or the brave to do what now needs to be done if they're serious about getting there so that's another good thing with industry Awards it does lift your profile no one reads the fine print if you've made if you're one of five National finalists you may as well be the winner because out of 18 000 Brokers you're one of five who cares if you win or not and if you've prepared if you've used chap GPT to prepare your acceptance speech repurpose it to a post the next day yeah because you put some good emotive thoughts yeah right into whatever it is that you've been acknowledged for and then in writing your submissions because that needs to be relayed so you do you write it down you bashed all that you throw it through chat GPT to rewrite it so it's grammatically perfect and then you can repurpose that for social content interesting so not only are you putting yourself in in the realm of winning or giving yourself an opportunity to win but you can also use that as a way to really connect with your audience um you know utilizing the you know the tools that we now have right now this is the second time you've mentioned chat TPT Teresa and I'm definitely gonna maybe ask you know some of the other use cases that you reckon mortgage brokers can actually uh delve into it because so many people are very skeptical and afraid of this tool but you've mentioned it twice so it warrants the question um you know how else can mortgage brokers um utilize this tool so they can literally uh Elevate their branding and their own business if you're sitting if you're sitting around yeah for now what's good being a good 30 minutes because you can't get started on what you think you're going to post on your social media this week or you can't get started replying to that email from that client where the templated one doesn't work then you would then jump on chat GPT seriously if you if you're sitting there for 30 minutes you haven't done anything what it what type of GPT will do is get you started that's all you need right fantastic you know coming from another industry it's it's really uh interesting speaking to chat GPT you go can you send Harry an email um we spoke on Monday he wanted to search some coaching he does he settles to Mel he wants his son works in the thing um he needs referrers he needs this he hasn't got any networks he doesn't use social media except for LinkedIn so yeah send him a response and tell him he can start in September these are the fees this is the minimum tenure if you're interested we'll have a 30 minute Zoom or go to your website or go to your LinkedIn let you know what I think let me know if you want to go ahead so chat GPT can do all of that look at that and they would have sent that off and I'd look fabulous and there'd be no grammar mistakes in there whatsoever fantastic I mean obviously with what you've just told me there's so many use cases that a lot of people can uh utilize um you know especially in their day-to-day um live them understandable and you've been um you know teaching people for quite a while uh in this space do you reckon the Advent of chat GPT is going to make things so much simpler for mortgage brokers because when you started like you said technology was at like almost a standstill you only had access to full um you know lenders like you mentioned and now they've got 50 lenders so you know does their communication uh you know does chat GPT really streamline their communication with all the you know interested stakeholders that need you know their their time the brokerages the brokerages I work through work with that have embraced GPT for their um for their social media so for their content planning for their script writing for their video production that are using it to write credit submission papers for complex lending in excess of a million dollars to credit assessors using chat chip UT to craft their emails um so that by the time they get to the office they've made three phone calls chat GPT has crafted and sent those emails so they get to the office at 8 30 A.M inbound male done so um it's saving and a huge amount of time but what you need to be careful of is chat GPT is also very boring and very beige so your prompts need to you need to get understand what you need to put into the prompts um you need to appreciate it depending on what chat GPT program you're using that the content like bad is current but um chat gpg4 is not current so it's two years old so you need to be mindful of that it won't Give opinions so what it actually is so there's still I'm very creative Prosper I think that's my superpower so when a broker brokerage goes I need to expand my network I will give them a very creative way to do that um based on their strengths and what they're actually capable of doing um so there's still a space for Creative but I can use chat GPT for my building blocks right so I've got it we've got a new strategy for a new business like literally double their business if they just invest in this for six months no problems and good um business where it doesn't you don't have to exert a lot of effort in storyboarding the social media story to go with to accompany this to actually promote this um I'll use chat GPT for that great stuff now I now I see why you've been voted we want 20 posts a month a month yep get that is a really feel good viral story right so you can connect with the people that you're going to be uh dealing with in the future and obviously create that because it's it's fun and it's cool and it'll go well on video um and it's playing one layer out so it's a social connection absolutely and it involves kids it ticks all the boxes oh absolutely and this now explains why Therese you have been recognized as uh fbaa National mentor of the year you always obviously showcasing that you are above you know the rest and you are ahead of the curve especially when it comes to um you know using technology and you have the experience to back it all up so I think that's like a whole big Fireball that a lot of people just need to uh experience there now like I mentioned you've been recognized um you know as the uh fbaa National Mentor Award of the year now what else besides you being creative like you mentioned and um obviously you know caring for the needs of your clients really sets your mentoring and coaching approach uh apart from others in the industry yeah they're creative so I don't um and we all have we hope we all have uh ideal clients yes so my my ideal client base if you work with me that you know you're probably going to be challenged to probably get out there and be challenged to put yourself out so if that's not your natural state so some people will will accelerate performance really well if they just go to a routine so um refine the process do the routine and that's absolutely perfect that's no problem at all but you probably wouldn't engage me so I'm there to add the personality I think to the brand so and that starts with so I would do refined process I look at it from the point of view of humanity so your so 50 of your last clients were on average 31 and you're calling them like is that the best way people 31 year olds have like severe anxiety about an incoming phone call from a number that they do not recognize so you're actually not connecting with them so so it's the fine tuning nothing wrong with the message but there's a problem with the delivery it means you don't understand what matters to them and what they absolutely hate so every time you're calling them you're annoying them fantastic so so it's more that refinement so younger you're dealing with High income young professionals they work hard they work 60 hours a week they go to the gym when they get home they're cooking a dinner at 10 o'clock that's when they've got the time they want to sit down and book a home loan interview because they want to go to auction next weekend don't bother me with any like anything else that's what I want to do so have you made that easy for them to do that without friction other because otherwise you're going to lose that business so my Lincoln Brokers if you're dealing in the um like the Gen X that generation so in the Lincoln Community so they want to speak to you so if you're not the first to pick up that call the problems are that you'll lose that opportunity so I've got a business s that they've got an an eight Bank of one 300 so you get so those you they don't list miss an opportunity of an inbound call and that's so that so that refinement of process for them what matters to their their target market they want to call they don't leave messages they don't text they wanna they'll just keep calling somebody until somebody answers the phone so it's that sort of refinement that you would work with me for and then by extension then I'm going to look at your social media and go people are going to vomit all over your content to be honest yeah women my age don't like being man's played too don't do it all you're doing is putting me off fantastic unfollow you absolutely absolutely and while we're still in the in the realm of people vomiting over content and things like that experience what are some of the common pitfalls or mistakes that mortgage brokers are making or should avoid to ensure long-term success in their business uh yeah and again I'm gonna go out on the limb here prosper and say it's not just mortgage brokers so first of all um in addition to posting whatever it is that you've got to say how about before you do that why don't you pay it forward and support other people's content that they're putting out on their feed so consider doing that first it's almost like um there are some people that are of a religion where they you say grace before you eat your food and you uh yeah out loud give thanks for all of the things that you are grateful for before you satisfy your own thirst so I think number one that's a really big thing if you want to grow your followers organically and grow them with people that are likely to engage actually with your content which is going to help you grow followers then help them out so I usually I try to like 30 posts in my speed avoiding anything that's sponsored and then commenting on six of those 30 so bait is sort of one in five is my sort of kind of rule and I start with Instagram and then I go to LinkedIn then I go to Facebook that's my order fantastic so there is so much to be gained from doing that and do that at least for three months and you watch the difference in your engagement and also in your growth of followers the second thing is Prosper this is an aside if you actually do that mindfully you actually get to listen to what people are talking about which should inspire you to tailor your content accordingly fantastic and obviously you actually learn that's like an extra gift free absolutely well thank you so much for that I mean like you say um the more you give to others the more you also receive its reciprocity wherever you go um it usually works and I think it was um Zig Ziglar that mentioned that help enough people get what they want and you will in turn uh get that which you want now in the interest of obviously giving I wanted to maybe find out from you to write um you know as a leading expert in this industry what sort of um Trends or maybe changes I know you've already touched up on chat GPT but obviously there could be new things that are coming in and I know you're on the um you know on the leading curve of um you know technology and things that are coming in this industry what do you sort of foresee especially for mortgage brokers say in the coming years and how can they adopt and thrive in this Dynamic environment okay that's a lot to unpack philosopher um I think that we there's a couple of things so a big shifts again affecting all Industries so it is going to be young Millennials and gen Zeds by 2030 you're going to outnumber Us in the workforce they're also going to outnumber us as consumers and they are a very different hat so I think that's going to impact all Industries yeah so uh recruiting them into my team onboarding them into my team dealing with them as a client their honesty um what they value so I think that's a big big shift and they'll all over Tech mate um and they're also there um and they see through so that's going to be a big challenge for Brands and it's going to be a big challenge for mortgage brokers because if all I am seeing is boasting and yelling sales at me then I will mute you so uh so in the in the marketing space process so prosperous so they're going there's going to be a big impact there they want authenticity they want brands that stand for something um and it's hard to stand for everything all at once Prosper so at I choose a couple of causes myself so one is women supporting women which means a whole lot of things so we have a low female representation of qualified brokers in our industry it's less than 30 percent so why is that what what can we do um part of that is um understanding the way women connect and what women want to see and what they really hate so women supporting women has evolved over the last two years in US delivering events on and having conversation about things that matter um to women in our industry and showcasing women that otherwise never get a voice that's across all Industries it certainly across real estate um it's and I think it's a really big thing across a lot of Industries is looking at that equality so that then lends into equality versus equity that goes beyond the male female ratio right but it's anybody in a Workforce then you start talking about um so that's a big deal for me women supporting women then goes into women's Women's Health their mental and physical health so um their conversations that women will actually have out loud and men don't um but men are starting to so I think having those conversations are all is also really important so those for me that's what I do what I have given up is movember I did that I supported that for five years by drawing a mustache on my top lip every single day for the month of November even if I was going to the Melbourne cup because it provoked a conversation my dad died at 63 when he shouldn't have if he just got his health checked instead he leaves everybody bereft of a heart attack like taken out three minutes so I've got that and also I had postnatal depression with my children and so and so I have had it and recovered from depression three times in my life so those things matter to me and I'm happy to have conversations about it and every time I do huge impact I my daughter has endometriosis I wrote a piece on that and Linkedin had 45 000 views and then I wrote an article for the maroon depress um group that are basically do the math tests for all of regional Australia as well as Metro Melbourne wow so stand for something people will buy from you um because they're like what you stand for they follow you because of what you stand for and they keep following you because of that and then one day they may or may not buy from you but they'll probably advocate for you absolutely I mean obviously I I like your conclusion to this because from what I'm gathering you know there's a lot of people that are just spraying and praying with their marketing or their branding out there and they're not literally staying for anything so if you stand for nothing obviously nobody's going to know like and trust you and as you eloquently are putting it across people do business with those they know like and trust no interest I am really really grateful for the time that we've spent today and I really really would like to thank you for sharing

you can make them aqua or white or yellow or red so you can change all those colors and then you obviously just change the intensity with the toggle switch right there or you can just turn them off

I'm not even sure why we're doing this maybe there's something underneath there seems to be nothing of value here and the portal which is broken I don't get it is that my way home is broken are you

don't even look at anymore yep nothing yet all right Next Step guys is to make the Scotty mother actually yes calcium organic matter which needs calcium organic fluid which is made from improved organic fluid and an ancient skull underneath the bottle so basically we need one some lava some lava going into a barrel a barrel with a bronze block underneath and then that goes into the second barrel with a skulking matter underneath and that is transformed into the Skull King what do you call it I forget it's calculated fluid how about lava guys how about lava do we have any better ways of making lava and we make a magma Crucible here we have a leg room oh I see I see nice this thing the silver we will soon have guys Rose silver this is basically what we need to get now and you know what that means fourth Tower but where do I build it do I build it here or do I build it that way I might build it that way let's do that guys the building Gadget absolutely amazing absolutely amazing if you haven't tested it tried it uh definitely do definitely do it is absolutely fantastic guys I don't know which one you like more you won't really see it but I don't know I like this one I'll go with borderstone but I guess there's something I need to test out perfect it works okay that's all I needed to test um I think I'm going with some white zone actually yeah um to cover up these large areas all right let's see oh no oh no about we go we do it like in sections I don't know maybe but we'll go like this no no I'm not fast enough outside guys uh do you remember Pikachu well we have Mickey Mouse now I like this very much now these are gonna be our third and fourth Tower third fourth and yep I see a slight discrepancy I didn't put Blackstone right here I'll fix that right now oh all right it has been fixed alright guys next thing I'm doing I'm actually sorting out my storage problems because I'm running around looking for things in different chests and what I've done is basically I went through this questline which is called simple storage I've done everything I've created the crafting remote and I've also made the network route which is the first thing you need the storage Network route and I placed it in the center of our new build now you shift right click with your remote on the network route and now you're connected to the network now I've got two things inside here copper and thin dust if this was just a test I've connected these drawers to the network route using a very large cable there you go that's how it looks right now and this cable is going all the way to the center and I'm going to do the same for our second tower third Tower fourth Tower and as well as my storages to link an inventory to the system you need link cables which are easily made using network cable and a chest and you just place them wherever you want them and then you can use the regular network cable and yep it works like a charm that's absolutely fantastic does it block water does it block water yes it does Perfection Perfection and now we should see these dusts in our Network nice very nice all right guys everything has been moved to the storage room doesn't see you most of the items more most of the miscellaneous items are in these gold chests now and I'll be storing everything inside here which is amazing and then items such as dusts and idiots have

Seward promised to open all channels of Commerce series of measures adopted by the United States act of Congress his provisions its operation unconstitutional measures President Lincoln an accomplice not authorized by state of war case before Chief Justice Taney his decision expedition sent by the United States government to seize localities an act providing for the appointment of special agents to seize abandoned or captured property the views of General Grant weakening his strength one-third our country divided into districts and federal agents appointed continued to the close of the war a class of measures was adopted by the government of the United States the object of which was practically and effectively to plunder us of a large portion of our crop of cotton and secured transportation to the manufacturers of Europe the foreign necessity for our cotton is represented in these words of Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on May 6 1862 when speaking of the blockade of our ports thousands are now obliged to resort to the poor rates for subsistence owing to this blockade yet Her Majesty's Government have not sought to take advantage of the obvious imperfections of this blockade in order to declare it ineffective they have to the loss and detriment of the British nation scrupulously observe the duties of Great Britain to a friendly state the severity of the distress the saluted to was such both in Great Britain and France as to produce an intervention of the governments of those countries to alleviate it instead however of adopting those measures required in the exercise of justice to the Confederacy and which would have been sustained by the law of nations by declaring the blockade ineffective as it really was they sought through informal applications to mr. Seward the Secretary of State for the United States to obtain opportunities for an increased exportation of cotton from the Confederacy this is explained by mr. Seward in a letter to mr. Adams the Minister of London dated July 28 1862 in which he writes as follows the president has given respectful consideration to the desire informally expressed to me by the governments of Great Britain and France for some father relaxation of the blockade in favour of that trade they are not rejected but are yet held under consideration with a view to ascertain more satisfactorily whether they are really necessary and whether they can be adopted without such serious detriment to our military operations as we render them injurious rather than beneficial to the interest of all concerned in the same letter mr. Seward had previously said we shall speedily open all the channels of Commerce and free them from military embarrassments and cotton so much desired by all nations will flow forth as freely as heretofore we have ascertained that there are three and a half millions of bales yet remaining in the region where it was produced though large quantities of it are yet unjammed and otherwise unprepared for market we have instructed the military authorities to favour so far as they can consistently with the public safety its preparation for and dispatched to the markets where it is so much wanted it has been stated elsewhere in these pages that it became apparent that by some understanding express or tacit Europe had decided to leave the initiative and all actions touching the contest on this continent so the two powers just named Great Britain and France who were recognized to have the largest interest involved by the preceding extracts the demands of the governments of Great Britain and France for increased facilities but wish to obtain a greater supply of cotton or evident at the same time the determination of the government of the United States to fulfil those demands apparent although it placed itself under the necessity of fitting out some military expeditions against those portions of our territory where it was supposed the foraging for cotton would be likely to meet with the greatest success by reference to the series of measures adopted by the government of the United States to secure possession of our cotton it will be seen that it was inaugurated as early as July 13 1861 this was within ten days after the commencement of the first and extra session of Congress under the administration of President Lincoln it is scarcely credible that that government had so early a day for solve the pressing demand from Europe for cotton which would ensue a year later yet it would seem that we must suppose such who have been it's poor sight are else concluded that the first of these measures was the inauguration of a grand scheme for the plunder of our cotton crop to enrich whomsoever it might concern the act of the United States Congress of July 13 1861 above-mentioned was entitled an act to provide of the collection of duties on imports and for other purposes under the other purposes the important features of the Act are contained section 5 provides that when said insurgents claimed to act under the authority of any state or States and such claim is not disclaimed or repudiated by the persons exercising the functions of government in such state or States or in part or parts thereof in which said combination exists or such insurrection suppressed by said state or States then and in such case it may be and shall be lawful for the president by Proclamation to declare that the inhabitants of any such state or any section of part thereof we're such insurrection exists or in a state of insurrection against the United States and thereupon all commercial intercourse by in between the same and the citizens thereof and the citizens of the rest of the United States shall see some be unlawful so long as such condition of hostilities shall continue and all goods and chattels whereas in merchandise coming from said state or section into the other parts of the United States and all preceding to such state or section by land under water shell together with the vest vehicle conveying the same or conveying persons to a front such state or section be forfeited to the United States provided however that the president may in his discretion license and permit commercial intercourse with any such part of said state or section the inhabitants of which are so declared in the state of insurrection in such articles and for such time and by such persons as he and his discretion may think most conducive to the public interest and such intercourse so FAR's by him license shall be conducted and carried on only in for sentence of rules and regulations prescribed by the secretary of the Treasury in the Secretary of the Treasury may appoint such officers at places where officers of the customs are not now authorized by law as may be needed to carry into effect such licenses rules and regulations it was provided in Section nine as follows proceedings on seizures for forfeiture under this act may be pursued in the courts of the United States in any district into which the property so seized may be taken and proceedings instituted it will be seen by reference to the provisions of this section that the President of the United States was authorized to issue his proclamation declaring the inhabitants of any of our states or of a portion of any one of them to be in insurrection and thereupon how commercial intercourse became unlawful and was required to cease and all goods and chattels whereas in merchandise on the way to or from the state or part of a state were forfeited to the United States together with a vessel or vehicle in which they were conveyed to affects follow this Proclamation first a cessation of all commercial intercourse with the citizens of the United States second the forfeiture of all goods intransitive when this condition has been reached the act in authorizes the president and his discretion by license to reopen trade in such articles and for such time and by such persons as he may think most conductive to the public interest the articles of trade were to be chiefly cotton and tobacco the time during which it might be continued was evidently so long as it could be used for the purpose in view the persons were those who would most kill Polly advanced the end to be accomplished and public interest was a collection and transportation of the cotton to the European manufacturers when they searched the Constitution of the United States in vain to find any grant of power to Congress by which it could be authorized to pass this Act much less to find any authority conferred upon the President to approve the Act or to justify him in a violation of the oath he had taken to support and maintain the provisions of the Constitution Congress was guilty of a most flagrant Ursa patient by the passage of this act and the president instead of being a check upon their unconstitutional measures for which object to veto power was granted to him became by his approval an accomplice in their so patient for nothing is more evident than that it is one of the powers reserved to the states to regulate the commercial intercourse between their citizens to the extent even of establishment of inspection and quarantine regulations the former of these is a benefit to commerce in the latter in some special cases only retards it temporarily to secure the health of a community neither did a state of war authorize the government of the United States to interfere with the commercial intercourse between the citizens of the states all the ones in the law of nations it might be so justified with regard to foreign enemies but this relation it persistently refused to concede to the Confederate States or to their citizens he consistently asserted that they were at so cheeks in a state of insurrection and if so they were equally entitled to the provisions of the Constitution as for their protection as well as to its penalties still less could the government make an absolute forfeiture of the goods seized as has already been shown when treating of the confiscation act but that a state of war did not enlarge the powers of the government as was assumed by this act was expressly decided by Chief Justice Taney in a case that arose under this act the secretary of the Treasury issued the regulations for trade as the Act assumed the power to authorize him to do in the section presented on a previous page one carpenter neglected or refused to obtain the permit required and his viewers were seized he contested the right of seizure and the Chief Justice gave a decision at Baltimore in May 1863 he said if these regulations have been made directly about Congress they could not be sustained by a court of justice whose Duty it is to administer the law according to the Constitution of the United States for from the commencement of the government to this date it has been admitted on all hands that repeatedly decided by the supreme court that the United States have no right to interfere with the internal and domestic trade of a state they have no right to compel it to pass through their custom houses nor to tax it this is so plainly set forth in the Constitution that it has never been supposed to be open to controversy or question undoubtedly the United States authorities may take proper measures to prevent trade or intercourse with the enemy but it does not by any means follow that they disregard the limits of all their own powers as prescribed by the Constitution or the rights and powers reserved to the states and the people a civil war or any other does not enlarge the powers of the federal government over the states or the people beyond what the compact has given to it in time of war a state of war does not annul the tenth article of the amendment to the Constitution which declares that the power is not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the States respectively or to the people nor does a civil war or any of the war absolved the judicial department from the duty of maintaining with an even infirm hand the rights and powers of the federal government and of the states and of the citizens as they are written in the Constitution which every judge is formed to support upon the whole the court is of opinion that the regulations in question are illegal and void and that the seizure of the goods of carpenter because he refused to comply with them cannot be sustained the judgment of the district court must therefore be reversed and the goods delivered to the claimant his agent or Proctor the proclamation of the precedent required by the Act was issued on August 16 1861 declaring certain states in parts of certain states to be an insurrection etc under it some licenses were issued to places in Kentucky and Missouri where the United States forces were located without any fruitful results some strong military and naval expeditions were fitted out to invade us and occupy the ports where cotton and other valuable products were usually shipped and advance was made at the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers and down the Mississippi as has been stated elsewhere the ports of Beaufort North Carolina Port Royal South Carolina in New Orleans Louisiana were declared by proclamation of the President of the United States to be open for trade under the new system licenses were granted to foreign vessels by United States consuls and to coasting vessels by the Treasury Department and the blockade was relaxed so far as related to those courts except as to persons property and information contraband of war collectors were appointed at the above-mentioned ports in a circular was addressed to the foreign ministers at Washington announcing the reopening of communication with Concord southern localities again on March 3rd 1863 an Act was passed which authorized the secretary of the Treasury to appoint special agents to receive and collect all abandoned or captured property in any state or portion of a state designated as in insurrection under this act a paper division of the whole of our territory was made into five special districts and to each a special agent was appointed with numerous assistants abandoned property was defined to be that which had been deserted by the owners or that which had been voluntarily abandoned by them to the civil or military authorities of the United States property which had been seized are taken from hostile possessions by the military or naval forces was also to be turned over to the special agents to be sold all property not transported in accordance with the Treasury regulations was forfeitable all expenses incurred in relation to the property were charged upon it the views of General Grant on the operation of the system of measures as tending to the success of subjugation which was the object of the war were presented to the secretary of the United States Treasury and a letter dated at Vicksburg on July 21st 1863 he writes my experience in West Tennessee has convinced me that any trade whatever with her rebellious States is weakening to us at least 33 percent of our force no matter what restrictions were thrown around trade if any whatever is allowed will be made the means as lying to the enemy what they want restrictions have lived up to make trade unprofitable and hence numbered dishonest men will go into it I will venture to say that no honest man has made money in West Tennessee in the last year while many fortunes have been made there during the time the people in the Mississippi Valley are now nearly subjugated keep trade out for a few months and I doubt not but that the work of subjugation will be so complete that trade can be opened freely with the states of Arkansas Louisiana and Mississippi on September 11 1863 revised regulations were issued by the secretary which divided the country into 13 districts from Wheeling West Virginia to Natchez on the Mississippi and a complete system of trade and transportation was organized in December 1864 new regulations were issued which authorized the purchase of our products at certain points from any persons was bonds furnished by the Treasury the products were sold transportation was allowed and the proceeds were made to constitute a fund for further purchases a vigorous traffic sprang up under these regulations which were suspended by an order of General Grant he should have March 10 1865 in revoked on April 11th by himself on April 29 1865 all restrictions upon internal domestic and coastwise commercial intercourse with all country east of the Mississippi River were discontinued end of section 22 section 23 of the rise and fall of the Confederate

renewed Fredericksburg reoccupied attack on the heights repulse of the enemy the enemy withdraws in the night our strength losses death of General Jackson another account about the middle of October 1862 general McClellan crossed the Potomac east of the Blue Ridge and advanced southward seizing the passes of the mountains as he progressed in the latter part of the month he began to incline eastward leaf from the mountains moving in the direction of Warrenton about which he finally concentrated his cavalry being thrown forward beyond the Rappahannock in the direction of Culpepper courthouse on November 15th the enemy was in motion the indications were that Fredericksburg was again to be occupied Sumner's core had marched in the direction of falleth and gunboats and transports had entered Acquia creek McLaws and ransoms divisions were ordered to proceed to that city and on the 21st it became apparent that the whole army under general Burnside who had succeeded general McClellan was concentrating on the north side of the Rappahannock about November 26th Jackson was directed to advance toward Fredericksburg and as some of the enemy's gunboats had appeared in the river at Port Royal and it was possible that an attempt might be made to cross in that vicinity D H Hill's division was stationed near that place and the rest of Jackson's Corps so disposed as to support hill or Longstreet as occasion might require the Fords of the Rappahannock above Fredericksburg were closely guarded by our cavalry and the brigade of general wh F Lee was stationed near Port Royal to watch the river above and below the interval before the advance of the foe was employed in strengthening our lines extending from the river about a mile and a half above Fredericksburg along the range of Hills in the rear of the city to the Richmond Railroad as these hills were commanded by the opposite heights in possession of general Burnside's force earthworks were constructed on their crest at the most eligible positions for all artillery to prevent gunboats ascending the river a battery protected by if Hallman's was placed on the bank four miles below the city the plain of Fredericksburg is so completely commanded by the Stafford Heights that no effectual opposition could be made to the passage of the river without exposing our troops to the destructive fire of the numerous batteries on the opposite heights at the same time the narrowness of the Rappahannock and its winding course presented opportunities for laying down pontoon bridges at points secure from the fire of our artillery our position was therefore selected with a view to resist in advance after crossing and the river was guarded by detachments of sharpshooters to impede the laying of pontoons until our army could be prepared for action before dawn on December 11th general Burnside was in motion about 2:00 a.m. he commenced preparations to throw two bridges over the Rappahannock opposite Fredericksburg and one about a mile and a quarter below near the mouth of deep run from a break until 4:00 p.m. the troops sheltered behind the houses on the riverbank repel his repeated efforts to lay bridges opposite the town driving back his working parties and their supports with great slaughter at the lower point where there was no such protection he was successfully resisted until nearly noon when being exposed to the severe fire of the batteries on the opposite Heights and a superior force of infantry on the riverbanks our troops were withdrawn and about 1 p.m. the bridge was completed soon afterward 150 pieces of artillery opened a furious fire upon the city causing our troops to retire from the riverbank about 4:00 p.m. the enemy then crossed in boats and proceeded rapidly to lay down the bridges his advance into the town was bravely contested until dark when our troops were recalled the necessary time for concentration having been gained Brigadier General William Barksdale who commanded the force placed in Fredericksburg to resist the crossing performed to that service with his well-known gallantry the enemy was prevented from constructing bridges and his attempts to cross in boats under the cover of artillery and musketry fire were repelled until late in the afternoon when General Barksdale was ordered to retire he had directed Lieutenant Colonel pfizer commanding the 17th Mississippi regiment of Barksdale's Brigade to select some skillful marksmen and proceeded to check the operations of the pioneers who had commenced to lay pontoons above the city Colonel pfizer described to me the novel and bold expedient to which he successfully resorted he said his sharpshooters were placed in rifle pits on the bank opposite to that from which the bridge was started that his men were instructed to aim only at the bridge builders at dawn the workmen came forward to lay the cover on the bridge fire was opened somewhere killed and the rest of the party driven ashore then the enemy's batteries in riflemen opened a heavy fire on his position when his men would sit down in the rifle pits and remain quiet until the cannonade ceased probably under the supposition that our sharpshooters had been driven off the workmen would return our sharpshooters would arise and repeat the lesson lately given this he said with intervals of about an hour during which a continuous and heavy fire of artillery was kept up occurred nine times with the same result a repulse was severe loss and that for 12 hours every attempt to construct a bridge at that point was defeated then under orders they withdrew during the night in the succeeding day the enemy crossed in large numbers at and below the town secured from material interruption by a dense of fog Longstreet's Corps constituted our left with Anderson's division resting on the river and those of McLaws pickets and hood extending to the right ap Hill of Jackson's Corps was posted between hoods right and Hamilton's crossing on the railroad his front line occupied the edge of a wood early and thalia Pharaohs divisions constituted Jackson's second line th Hill's division his reserve his artillery was distributed along his line in the most eligible position so as to command at the open ground in front shortly after 9:00 a.m. the partial rising of the mist disclosed a large force moving in line of battle against Jackson dense masses appeared in front of ap Hill stretching far up the river in the direction of Fredericksburg as they advanced Maj Pelham of Stewart's Horse Artillery opened a rapid and wild erected in falada fire which arrested their progress for batteries immediately turned upon him and upon his withdraw the enemy extended his left down the Port Royal Road and his numerous batteries opened with vigor upon Jackson's line eliciting no response his infantry moved forward to seize the position occupied by Lieutenant Colonel Walker the latter reserving the fire of his 14 pieces until their line had approached within less than 800 yards opened upon it with such destructive effect as to cause it to waver and soon retreat and confusion about 1:00 p.m. the main attack on the right began by a furious cannonade under cover of which three compact lines of infantry advanced against Hill's front they were received as before and momentarily checked but soon recovering they pressed forward until coming within range of our infantry the contest became fierce and bloody Archer and lane who occupied the edge of a wood repulsed those portions of the line immediately in front of them but before the interval between these commands could be closed the assailants pressed through in overwhelming numbers and turned the left of Archer and the right of Lane attacked in front and flank two regiments of the former and a brigade of the latter after a brave resistance gave way Archer held his line until the arrival of reinforcements Thomas came to the relief of Layne and repulsed the column that had broken his line and drove it back to the railroad in the meantime a large force had penetrated the wood as far as Hills reserve where it was met by a fire for which it was not unprepared General Hill says the advancing columns of the enemy encountered an obstacle at the Military Road which they little expected Gregg's Brigade of South Carolinians stood in the way the advancing Federals were allowed to approach quite near when that Brigade poured a withering fire into the faces of Meade's men an early division from the second line swept forward and the contest in the woods was short and decisive the enemy was quickly routed and driven out with very heavy loss and though largely reinforced was pressed back and pursued to the shelter of the railroad embankment here he was gallantly charged by the brigades of Hoke and Atkinson and driven across the plain to his batteries the attack on Hills left was repulsed by the artillery on that part of the line against which a hot fire from 24 guns was directed the repulse of the foe on our right was decisive and the attack was not renewed but his batteries kept up an active fire at intervals and sharpshooters skirmished along the front during the afternoon while these events were transpiring on our right the enemy and formidable numbers made repeated and desperate assaults upon the left of our line about 11 a.m. having masked his troops under cover of the houses of Fredericksburg he moved forward in strong columns to seize Mary's and Willis's Hills all his batteries on the stafford heights directed their fire upon the positions occupied by our artillery with a view to silence it and cover the movement of the infantry without replying to this furious cannonade our batteries poured a rapid and destructive fire into the dense lines of the infantry as they advanced to the attack frequently breaking their ranks and forcing them to retreat to the shelter of the houses six times did he not withstanding the havoc inflicted by our batteries press on with great determination to within 100 yards of the foot of the hill but here encountering the deadly fire of our infantry his columns were broken and fled in confusion to the town the last assault was made shortly before dark this effort met the fate of those that preceded it and when night closed in his masses had disappeared in the town leaving the field covered with his dead and wounded during the night our lines were strengthened by the construction of earthworks @ exposed points and preparations made to receive the enemy on the next day the 14th passed however without a renewal of the attack the hostile batteries on both sides of the river played upon our lines at intervals our own firing but little on the 15th general burn site still retained his position apparently ready for battle but the day passed as the preceding but on the morning of the 16th it was discovered that he had availed himself of the darkness of the night and the prevalence of a violent storm of wind and rain to re-cross the river the town was immediately reoccupied in our positions on the riverbank resumed in the engagement we captured more than 900 prisoners and 9,000 stand of arms a large quantity of ammunition was found in Fredericksburg on our side 458 were killed and 3743 wounded total 4201 the loss of the enemy was 1152 killed 9,000 101 wounded and 3234 missing total 13,000 771 general Burnside testified before the committee on the conduct of the war that he had about 100,000 men on the south side of the river and every single man of them was under artillery fire and about half of them were at different times formed in columns of attack Lee's then 20,000 Confederate troops were actively engaged this number composed about 1/4 of the army under General Lee the returns of the Army of Northern Virginia show that on the 10th of December 1862 generally had present for duty 78228 and on December 20th 75,000 524 of all arms upon being asked what causes he assigned for the failure of his attack general Burnside replied to the Committee on the conduct of the war it was found impossible to get the men up to the works the enemy's fire was too hot for them after the Battle of Fredericksburg the Army of Northern Virginia remained encamped on the south side of the Rappahannock until the latter part of April 1863 the Federal Army occupied the north side of the river opposite Fredericksburg extending to the Potomac two brigades of Anderson's division those of Mahone and Posey were stationed near United States mine or Bank Millford the cavalry was distributed on both flanks Fitz hughley's Brigade picketing the Rappahannock above the mouth of the Rapidan and WH F Lee's near Port Royal general Longstreet with two divisions of his Corps was detached for service south of the James River in February and did not rejoin the army until after the Battle of Chancellorsville accepting a cavalry engagement near Kelly's Ford on March 17th nothing of interest transpired during this a period of inactivity on April 14th 1863 the enemy's cavalry was concentrating on the upper Rappahannock but his efforts to establish himself on the south side of the river were successfully resisted about the 21st small bodies of infantry appeared at Kelly's Ford and the Rappahannock bridge at the same time a demonstration was made opposite Port Royal these movements indicated that the army now commanded by Major General hooker was about to resume active operations on the 28th early in the morning the enemy crossed the river in boats near Fredericksburg laid upon Thun bridge and built another about a mile below a considerable force crossed on these bridges during the day and was masked under the high banks of the river which afforded protection from our artillery while the batteries on the opposite heights completely commanded the wide plain between our lines and the narrow River as in the first battle at Fredericksburg our dispositions were made with a view to resist a direct advance against us but the indications were that the principal effort would be made in some other quarter on the 29th it was reported that he had crossed enforce near Kelly's Ford and that a heavy column was moving from Kelly's toward Germania Ford on the Rapidan and another toward Elise Ford the routes they were pursuing after crossing the Rapidan converged near Chancellorsville when several roads led to the rear of our position at Fredericksburg general Anderson proceeded to cover these roads on the 29th but learning that the enemy had crossed the Rapidan and was approaching in strong force he retired early on the next morning to the intersection of the mine and plank roads near Tabernacle Church and began to entrench himself his rearguard as he left Chancellorsville was attacked by cavalry but being vigorously repulsed offered no further opposition to his march the enemy on our front near fredericksburg continued inactive and it was now apparent that the main attack would be made upon our flank and rear it was therefore determined to leave sufficient troops to hold our lines and with the main body of the army to give battle to the approaching column Early's division of Jackson's core and Barksdale's brigade of McLaws division with part of the reserve artillery under general Pendleton were entrusted with the defense of our position at Fredericksburg and at midnight on the 30th general McLaws marched with the rest of his command toward Chancellorsville General Jackson followed at dawn next morning with remaining divisions of his Corps he reached the position occupied by General Anderson at 8 a.m. and immediately began to make preparations to advance at 11 a.m. the troops moved forward on the plank and old Turnpike roads the enemy was soon encountered on both roads and heavy skirmishing with infantry and artillery ensued our troop suppressing steadily forward a strong attack upon McLaws was repulsed with spirit by semies Brigade and general rights by direction of general Anderson diverging to the left of the plank road marched by way of the unfinished railroad from Fredericksburg to Gordonsville and turned the federal right his whole line thereupon retreated rapidly vigorously pursued by our troops until they arrived within about one mile of Chancellorsville here the enemy had assumed a position of great natural strength surrounded on all sides by dense forests filled with a tangled undergrowth in the midst of which breastworks of logs had been constructed with trees felled in front so as to form and almost impenetrable ibadis his artillery swept the few narrow roads by which his position could be approached from the front and commanded the adjacent woods the left of his line extended from Chancellorsville toward the Rappahannock covering the bank Millford where he communicated with the north bank of the river by a pontoon bridge his right stretched westward along the Germania Ford Road more than two miles darkness was approaching before the strength and the extent of his line could be ascertained and as the nature of the country rendered it hazardous to attack by night our troops were halted and formed in line of battle in front of Chancellorsville at right angles to the plank road extending on the right to the mine road and to the left in the direction of the furnace it was evident that a direct attack by us would be attended with great difficulty and loss in view of the strength of his position and his superiority of numbers it was therefore resolved to endeavor to turn his right flank and gain his rear leaving a force in front to hold him in check and conceal the movement the execution of this plan was entrusted to Lieutenant General Jackson with his three divisions the commands of generals McLaws and Anderson with the exception of Wilcox's brigade which during the night had been ordered back to Banks's Ford remained in front of the enemy early on the morning of the 2nd General Jackson marched by the furnace and Brock Rhodes his movement being effectually covered by Fitz Hugh Lee's cavalry under general Stuart in person as the rear of his train was passing the furnace a large force of the enemy advanced from Chancellorsville and attempted its capture but this advance was arrested after a long and fatiguing March general Jackson's leading division under general Rhodes reached the old Turnpike about three miles in rear of Chancellorsville at 4:00 p.m. as the different divisions arrived they were formed at right angles to the road roads in front Trimble's under brigadier general Colston in the second and ap Hills in the third line at 6:00 p.m. the advance was ordered the enemy was taken by surprise and fled after a brief resistance general Rhodes his men pushed forward with great vigor and enthusiasm followed closely by the second and third lines position after position was carried the guns captured in every effort of the foe to rally defeated by the impetuous rush of our troops in the ardor of pursuit through the thick and tangled woods the first and second lines at last became mingled and moved on together as one the fugitives made a stand at a line of breastworks across the road but the troops of Rhodes and Colston dashed over the entrenchments together and the flight and pursuit were resumed and continued until our advance was arrested by the abate asst in front of the line of works near the central position at Chancellorsville it was now dark and General Jackson ordered the third line under General Hill to advance to the front and relieve the troops of Rhodes and Colston who were completely blended and in such disorder from their advance through intricate woods and over broken ground that it was necessary to reform them as Hill's men moved forward General Jackson with his staff and escort returning from the extreme front met the skirmishers advancing and in the obscurity of the night were mistaken for the enemy and fired upon Captain Boswell chief engineer of the Corps and several others killed and a number wounded among whom was general Jackson who was born from the field the command devolved under Major General Hill whose division under general Heath was advanced to the line of entrenchments which had been reached by roads and Colston a furious fire of artillery was opened upon them under cover of which infantry advanced to the attack but were handsomely repulsed general Hill soon afterward disabled and the command was turned over to general Stuart he immediately proceeded to recognize the ground and make himself acquainted with the disposition of the troops the darkness of the night and the difficulty of moving through the woods and undergrowth rendered it advisable to defer further operations until morning and the troops rested on their arms in line of battle as soon as the sound of cannon gave notice of Jackson's attack on the enemy's right the troops in front began to press strongly on the left to prevent reinforcements being sent to the point of sailed they advanced up to the entrenchments while several batteries played with good effect until prevented by the increasing darkness early in the morning of May 3rd general Stuart renewed the attack upon general hooker who had strengthened his right wing during the night with additional breastworks while a large number of guns protected by entrenchments were posted so as to sweep the woods through which our troops had to advance Hill's division was in front with Colston in the second line and roads in the third the second and third lines soon advanced to the support of the first and the hole became hotly engaged the breastworks at which the attack was suspended on the preceding evening were carried by assault under a terrible fire of musketry and artillery in the rear of these breastworks was a barricade from which the enemy was quickly driven the troops on the left of the plank road pressing through the woods attacked and broke the next two line while those on the right bravely assailed the extensive earthworks behind which general hookers artillery was posted three times were these works carried and is often where the brave assailants compelled to abandon them twice by the retirement of the troops on their left who fell back after a gallant struggle with superior numbers and once by a movement of the enemy on the right caused by the advance of general Anderson the laughte being reinforced finally succeeded in driving back the enemy and the artillery under Lieutenant Colonel Carter and Jones being thrown forward to occupy favorable positions secured by the advance of the infantry began to play with great in effect Anderson in the meantime pressed a gallantly forward directly upon Chancellorsville his right resting upon the plank road and his left extending around the furnace while McLaws made a strong demonstration to the right of the road as the troops advancing upon the enemy's front and right converged upon his central position anderson effected a junction with jackson's core and the whole line pressed irresistible general hookers army was driven from all its fortified positions with heavy loss and killed wounded and prisoners and retreated toward the Rappahannock by 10 a.m. we were in full possession of the field the troops having become somewhat scattered by the difficulties of the ground and the ardor of the contest were immediately reformed preparatory to renewing the attack the enemy had withdrawn to a strong position nearer to the Rappahannock which he had fortified his superiority of numbers the unfavorable nature of the ground which was densely wooded and the condition of our troops after the arduous and sanguinary conflict in which they had been engaged rendered great caution necessary our operations were just completed when further movements were arrested by intelligence received from Fredericksburg before dawn on the morning of the 3rd it was known that the enemy had occupied Fredericksburg in large force and lay down a bridge at the town he made a demonstration against the extreme right of the force left to hold our lines which was easily repulsed by general early soon afterward a column moved from Fredericksburg along the river banks as if to gain the heights on the extreme left which commanded those immediately in rear of the town this attempt was foiled very soon the enemy advanced in large force against Marys and the hills to the right and left of it two assaults were gallantly repulsed after the second a flag of truce was sent from the town to obtain permission to provide for the wounded three heavy lines advanced immediately upon the return of the flag and renewed the attack they were bravely repulsed on the right and left but the small force at the foot of Mary's Hill overpowered by more than ten times their numbers was captured after an heroic resistance and the hill carried the success of the enemy enabled him to threaten our communications by moving down the Telegraph Road were to come upon our rear at transverse ville by the plank road he began to advance on the plank road his progress being gallantly disputed by the brigade of General Wilcox who fell back slowly until he reached Salem Church on the plank road about five miles from Fredericksburg in this state of affairs in our rear General Lee led General McLaws with his three brigades to reinforce General Wilcox he arrived at Salem Church early in the afternoon where he found General Wilcox in line of battle with a large force of the enemy consisting as it was reported of one Army Corps and part of another in his front the enemy's artillery played vigorously upon our position for some time when his infantry advanced in three strong lines the attack being directed mainly against general Wilcox but partially involving the brigades on his left the assault was met with the utmost firmness and after a fierce struggle the first line was repulsed with great slaughter the second then came forward but immediately broke under the close and deadly fire which had encountered and the whole mass fled in confusion to the rear they were pursued by the brigades of Wilcox and semeth which advanced nearly a mile when they were halted to reform in the presence of the hostile reserve which now appeared in large force it being quite dark general Wilcox deemed it imprudent to push the attack with his small numbers and retired to his original position the enemy making no attempt to follow the next morning general early advanced along the Telegraph Road and recaptured marys and the adjacent Hills without difficulty thus gaining the rear of the enemy's left in the meantime general hooker had so strengthened his position near Chancellorsville that it was deemed in expedient to assail it with less than our whole force which had been reduced by the detachment led to Fredericksburg to relieve us from the danger that menaced our rear it has been heretofore stated that general Longstreet had been sent with two divisions of Lee's array to cooperate with general French on the south side of the James River in the capture of Suffolk the occupation of which by the enemy interrupted our collection of supplies in eastern counties of North Carolina and Virginia when the advance of hooker threatened to General Lee's front instructions were sent to general Longstreet to hasten his return to the army with a large force detached with him these instructions were repeated with urgent insistence his movements were so delayed that though the Battle of Chancellorsville did not occur until many days after he was expected to join his force was absent when it occurred how do you rejoined his command in due time li need not have diminished his force in front of hooker so as to delay the renewal of the attack and force him to a precipitate retreat involving the loss of his artillery and trains it was accordingly resolved still further to reinforce the troops in front in order if possible to drive hooker across the Rappahannock some delay occurred in getting the troops into position owing to the broken in your regular nature of the ground the difficulty of ascertaining the disposition of the opposing forces the attack did not begin until 6:00 p.m. when the enemy's troops were rapidly driven across the plank road in the direction of the Rappahannock this media approach of Darkness prevented general McLaws from perceiving the success of the attack until the foe began to recross the river a short distance below banks is Ford where he had laid one of his pontoon bridges his right brigades advanced through the woods in the direction of the firing but the retreat was so rapid that they could only join in the pursuit a dense fog settled over the field increasing the obscurity and rendering great caution necessary to avoid collision between our own troops their movements were consequently slow the next morning it was found that the enemy had made good his escape and removed his bridges Fredericksburg was evacuated and our rear no longer threatened but as general hooker had it in his power to recross it was deemed best to leave a force to hold our lines as before McLaws and anderson being directed to return to Chancellorsville they reached their destination during the afternoon in the midst of a violent storm which continued throughout the night and most of the following day the preparations were made to assail the enemy's works at daylight on the 6th but on advancing our skirmishers it was found that under the cover of the storm and darkness of the night he had retreated over the river a detachment was left to guard the battlefield while the wounded were removed and they captured properly collected the rest of the army returned to its former position the loss of the enemy according to his own statement was 1512 killed and 9,500 18 wounded total 11030 his dead and a large number of wounded were left on the field about five thousand prisoners exclusive of the wounded were taken and 13 pieces of artillery 19500 stand of arms 17 colors and a large quantity of ammunition fell into our hands our loss was much lessened killed and wounded than that of the enemy but of the number was one a host in himself Lieutenant General Jackson who was wounded and died on May 10th of this great captain General Lee in his anguish at his death justly said I have lost my right arm as an executive officer he had no superior and war has seldom shown an equal to devoted to the cause he served to have any personal motive he shared the toils privations and dangers of his troops when in chief command an insubordinate position his aim was to understand the purpose of his commander and faithfully to promote its success he was the complement of Lee United they had achieved such results that the public felt secure under their shield to us his place was never filled the official return of the Army of Northern Virginia on March 31st 1863 shows us present for duty fifty seven thousand one hundred twelve of which six thousand five hundred nine were cavalry and 1621 reserve artillery on May 20th two weeks after the battle and when pickets and hoods divisions had rejoined to the army the total infantry force numbered about 55 thousand two hundred sixty one effective men from which if the strength of hoods and Pickett's divisions is deducted there would remain forty 1358 as the strength of the commands that participated in the battles of Chancellorsville the Army of the Potomac had numbered 120,000 men infantry and artillery with a body of 12,000 well-equipped cavalry and an artillery force of 400 guns a brief and forcible account of this battle is given by Taylor a formidable force under general Sedgwick was thrown across the river below Fredericksburg and made demonstrations of an intention to assail the Confederate front meanwhile with great celerity and secrecy general hooker with the bulk of his array crossed at the upper forts and in an able manner and wonderfully short time had concentrated four of his seven army corps numbering 56,000 men at Chancellorsville about ten miles west of Fredericksburg his purpose was now fully developed General Lee who instead of awaiting its further prosecution immediately determined on the movement the least expected by his opponent him either proceeded to make strong his left against an attack from direction of Chancellorsville nor did he move southward so as to put his army between that of general hooker and the Confederate capital but leaving general early with about 9,000 men to take care of general Sedgwick he moved with a remainder of his army numbering 48,000 men toward Chancellorsville as soon as the advance of the enemy was encountered it was attacked with vigor and very soon the Federal Army was on the defensive in it's apparently impregnable position it was not the part of wisdom to attempt to storm this stronghold but Sedgwick would certainly soon be at work in the rear and early with his inadequate force could not do more than delay and harass him it was therefore imperative Lee necessary to strike to strike boldly effectively and at once there could be no delay meanwhile two more Army Corps had joined general hooker who now had about Chancellorsville 91 thousand men 6 Corps except one division of the 2nd Corps conks which had been left with Sedgwick at Federalsburg it was a critical position for the Confederate commander but his confidence in his trusted lieutenant and brave men was such that he did not long hesitate encouraged by the council and confidence of General Jackson he determined to still further divide his army and while he with the divisions of Anderson and McLaws less than 14,000 men should hold the enemy in his front he would hurl Jackson upon his flank and rear and crush and crumble him as between the upper and nether millstone the very boldness of the movement contributed much to ensure its success the flank movement of Jackson's wing was attended with extraordinary success on the afternoon of the second day of May he struck such a blow to the enemy on their extreme right as to cause dismay and demoralisation to their entire army this advantage was promptly and vigorously followed up the next day when generals Lee and Stewart the latter then in command of Jackson's wing joined elbows and after most heroic and determined effort there now United forces finally succeeded in storming and capturing the works of the enemy meantime Sedgwick had forced early out of the heights at Fredericksburg and had advanced toward Chancellorsville thus threatening the Confederate rear generally having defeated the greater force and driven it from its stronghold now gathered up a few of the most available of his victorious brigades and turned upon the lesser on May 3rd Sedgewick's force was encountered near Salem and it's further progress checked by general McLaws with the fiber grades detached by General Lee for this service including Wilcox's which had been stationed at banks's afford on the next day general Anderson was sent to reinforce McLaws with three additional brigades meanwhile general early had connected with these troops and in the afternoon so soon as dispositions could be made for attack Sedgewick's lines were promptly assailed and broken the main assault being made on the enemy's left Byerly's troops the situation was now a critical one for the federal lieutenant darkness came to his rescue and on the night of the 4th he crossed to the north side of the river on the 5th generally concentrated for another assault on the new line taken out by general hooker but on the morning of the 6th it was ascertained that the enemy in General Lee's language had sought safety beyond the Rappahannock and the river flowed again between the hostile hosts end of section 23 section 24 of the rise and the fall of the Confederate government vol 2 this is a librivox recording all librivox

offensive actions of the British government encouraging to the United States hallo profession of neutrality the public questions arising out of our foreign relations were too important to be overlooked at the end of the first year of the war the Confederate States had been recognized by the leading governments of Europe as a belligerent power this continued unchanged to the close mr. Mason became our representative in London mr. Slidell in Paris mr. Ross in Spain and mr. man in Belgium they performed with energy and skill the positions but were unsuccessful in obtaining our recognition as an independent power the usages of intercourse between nations require that official communication be made to friendly powers of all organic changes in the Constitution of States to those who are familiar with the principles upon which the states known as the United States were originally constituted as well as those upon which the Union was formed the organic changes made by the success and Confederation of the southern states are very apparent but to others an explanation may be necessary each of the states was originally declared to be sovereign and independent in this condition at a former period all of those then-existing were severally recognized by name by the only one of the powers which had denied their right to independence this gave to each a recognized national sovereignty subsequently they formed a compact of voluntary Union whereby a new organization was constituted which was made the representative of the individual states in all general intercourse with other nations so long as the compact continued to enforce this agent represented merely the sovereignty of the states but when a portion of the states withdrew from the compact informed a new one under the name of the Confederate States they had made such organic changes in their constitution as to require official notice in compliance with the usages of Nations for this purpose the provisional government took early measures for sending to Europe commissioners charged with the duty of visiting the capitals of the different powers and making arrangements for the opening of more formal diplomatic intercourse prior however to the arrival of broad of these commissioners the government of the United States had addressed communications to the different cabinets of Europe in which it assumed the attitude of being sovereign over the Confederate states and alleged that these independent states were in rebellion against the remaining states of the Union and threatened Europe with manifestations of its displeasure if it should treat the Confederate States as having an independent existence it soon became known that these pretensions were not considered abroad to be as absurd as they were known to be at home nor had Europe yet learned what reliance was to be placed in the official statements of the cabinet at Washington the delegation of power granted by the states to the general government to represent them in foreign intercourse had led European nations into the grave error of supposing that their separate sovereignty and independence had been merged into one common sovereignty and had ceased to have a distinct existence under the influence of this error which all appeals to reason in historical fact were vainly used to dispel our commissioners were met by the declaration that foreign governments could not assume to judge between the conflicting representations of the two parties as to the true nature of their previous relations the governments of Great Britain and France accordingly signified their determination to confine themselves to recognizing the self-evident fact of the existence of a war and to maintaining strict neutrality during its progress some of the other powers of Europe pursued the same course of policy and it became apparent that by some understanding express or tacit Europe had decided to leave the initiative in all action touching the contest on this continent to the two powers just named who are recognized to have the largest interests involved both by reason of proximity to and of the extent of intimacy of their commercial relations with the states engaged in war it was manifest that the course of action adopted by Europe while based on an apparent refusal to determine the question or to side with either party was in point of fact an actual decision against our rights and in favor of the groundless pretensions of the United States it was a refusal to treat us as an independent government if we were independent states the refusal to entertain with us the same international intercourse which was maintained with our enemy was unjust and was injurious in its effects whatever might have been the motive which prompted it neither was it in accordance with the high moral obligations of that international code whose chief sanction is the conscience of sovereigns and the public opinion of mankind that those eminent powers should have declined the performance of a duty peculiarly incumbent upon them from any apprehension of the consequences to themselves one immediate and necessary result of their declining the responsibility of a decision which must have been adverse to the extravagant pretensions of the United States was the prolongation of hostilities to which our enemies were thereby encouraged and which resulted in scenes of carnage and devastation on this continent and of misery and suffering on the other such as have scarcely a parallel in history had those powers promptly admitted our right to be treated as all other independent nations 9 and can doubt that the moral effects of such action would have been to dispel the pretension under which the United States persisted in their efforts to accomplish our subjugation there were other matters in which less than justice was rendered to the Confederacy by neutral Europe an undue advantage conferred on the aggressors in a wicked war at the inception of hostilities the inhabitants of the Confederate States were almost exclusively agriculturists those of United States were also to a large extent mechanics merchants and navigators we had no commercial marine while their merchants vast covered the ocean we were without a navy while they had powerful fleets built by the money we had in full share contributed the power which they possessed for inflicting injury on our coasts and harbors was thus counterbalanced in some measure by the exposure of their commerce to attack by private armed vessels it was known to Europe that within a very few years past the United States had preempt orally refused to accede proposals for the abolition of privateering on the ground as alleged by them that nations owning powerful fleets would thereby obtain undue advantage over those possessing inferior naval force yet no sooner was war flagrant between the Confederacy in the United States than the maritime powers of Europe issued orders prohibiting either party from bringing prizes into their ports this prohibition directed with apparent impartiality against both belligerents was in reality effective against the Confederate States only for they alone could find a hostile commerce on the ocean merely nominal against the United States the prohibition operated with intense severity on the Confederacy by depriving it of the only means of maintaining its struggle on the ocean against the crushing superiority of naval force possessed by its enemies the value and efficiency of the weapon which was thus rested from our grasp by the combined action of neutral European powers in favor of a power which professes openly its intention of ravaging their commerce by privateers in any future war is strikingly illustrated by the terror inspired among commercial classes of the United States by a single Cruiser of the Confederacy one small steamer commanded by officers in manned by a crew who were debarred by the closure of neutral ports from the opportunity of causing captured vessels to be condemned in their favor as prizes sufficed to double the rates of maritime insurance in northern ports and consign it to forced inaction numbers of northern vessels in addition to the direct damage inflicted by captures at sea but it was especially in relation to the so called blockade that the policy of European powers was so shaped as to cause the greatest injury to the Confederacy and to confer signal advantages on the United States a few words an explanation may here be necessary prior to the Year 1856 the principles regulating this subject were to be gathered from the writings of eminent publicists the decisions of Admiralty courts international treaties and the usages of nation's the uncertainty in doubt which prevailed in reference to the true rules of maritime law in time of war resulting from the discordant and often conflicting principles announced from such varied and independent sources had become a grievous evil to mankind whether a blockade was allowable against a port not invested by land as well as by sea whether a blockade was valid by see if the investing fleet was merely sufficient to render ingress to the blockaded port evidently dangerous or whether it was further required for its legality that it should be sufficient really to prevent access and numerous other similar questions had remained doubtful and undecided animated by the highly honorable desire to put an end to differences of opinion between neutrals and belligerents which may occasion serious difficulties in even conflicts such was the official language the five great powers of Europe together with Sardinia and Turkey adapted in 1856 the following Declaration of Principles one privateering is and remains abolished to the neutral flag covers enemies goods with the exception of contraband of war three neutral goods with the exception of contraband of war are not liable to capture under enemy's flag for blockades in order to be binding must be effective that is to say maintained by a force sufficient really to prevent access to the coast of the enemy not only did this solemn declaration announce to the world the principles to which the signing powers agreed to conform in future Wars but it contained a clause to which these powers gave immediate effect and which provided that the states not parties to the Congress of Paris should be invited to accede to the declaration under this invitation every independent state in Europe yielded its ascent at least no instance is known to me of a refusal and the United States while declining to assent to the proposition which prohibited privateering declared that the three remaining principles were in accordance with their own views of international law no instance is known in history of the adoption of rules of public law under circumstances of like solemnity with like unanimity and pledging the faith of nations with a sanctity so peculiar when therefore this Confederacy was formed and when neutral powers while deferring action on its demand for admission into the family of Nations recognized it as a belligerent power Great Britain and France made informal proposals about the same time that their own rights as neutrals should be guaranteed by our a seating as belligerents to the Declaration of Principles made by the Congress of Paris the request was addressed to our sense of justice and therefore met immediate and favorable response in the resolutions of the provisional Congress of the 13th of August 1861 by which all the principles announced by the Congress of Paris were adopted as the guide of our conduct during the war with the sole exception of that relative to privateering as the right to make use of privateers was one in which neutral nations had as to the then-existing war no interest as it was a right which the United States had refused to abandon and which they remained at liberty to employ against us as it was a right of which we were already in actual enjoyment and which we could not be expected to renounce flagrante bellow against an adversary possessing an overwhelming superiority of naval forces it was reserved with the entire confidence that neutral nations could not fail to perceive that just reason existed for the reservation nor was this confidence misplaced for the original documents published by the british government contained the expression of that satisfaction of that government with the conduct of officials who conducted successfully the delicate transaction confided to their charge these solemn declarations of principle this implied agreement between the Confederacy and the two powers just named were suffered to remain inoperative against the menaces and outrages on neutral rights committed by the United States with unceasing and progressing arrogance during the whole period of the war neutral Europe remained passive when the United States with a naval force insufficient to blockade effectively the coast of a single state proclaimed a paper blockade of thousands of miles of coast extending from the capes of the Chesapeake to those of Florida and circling the Gulf of Mexico from Key West to the mouth of the Rio Grande compared with this monstrous pretension of the United States the blockades known in history under the names of the Berlin in Milan decrees and the British orders in Council in the years 1806 and 1807 sink into insignificance those blockades were justified by the powers that declared them on the sole ground that they were retaliatory that they have since been condemned by the publicist of those very powers as violations of international law it will be remembered that those blockades evoked angry remonstrances from neutral powers among which the United States were the most conspicuous and we're in their consequences the chief cause of the war between Great Britain and the United States and 1812 also that they formed one of the principal motives that led to the Declaration of the Congress of Paris in 1856 in the fond hope of imposing an enduring check on the very abuse of maritime power which was renewed by the United States in 1861 in 1862 under circumstances and with features of aggravated wrong without precedent in history repeated informal remonstrances were made by the Confederate government to neutral powers against the recognition of that blockade it was shown by evidence not capable of contradiction and which was furnished in part by the officials of neutral nations that the few ports of the Confederacy before which any naval forces at all were stationed were invested so inefficiently that hundreds of entries were effected into them after the Declaration of the blockade that our enemies admitted the inefficiency of their blockade in the most forcible manner by repeated official complaints of the sale to us of goods contraband of war a sale which could not possibly have affected their interests if their pretended blockade had been sufficient really to prevent access to our coasts repeated informal remonstrances were made by the Confederate government to neutral powers against the recognition of that blockade it was shown by evidence not capable of contradiction and which was furnished in part by the officials of neutral nations that the few ports of the Confederacy before which any naval forces at all were stationed were invested so efficiently that hundreds of entries were effected into them after the declaration of the blockade that our enemies admitted the inefficiency of their blockade in the most forcible manner by repeated official complaints of the sale to us of goods contraband of war a sale which could not possibly have affected their interests if their pretended blockade had been sufficient really to prevent access to our coasts that they alleged their inability to render their paper blockade effective as the excuse for the odious barbarity of destroying the entrance to one of the harbors by sinking vessels loaded with stone in the channel that our commerce with foreign nations was interrupted not by the effective investment of our ports but by watching the ports of the West Indies not only by the seizure of ships in the attempt to enter the Confederate ports but by the capture on the high seas of neutral vessels by the cruisers of our enemies whenever supposed to be bound to any point on our extensive coast without inquiry whether a single blockading vessel was to be found at such a point that blockading vessels had left the ports at which they were stationed for distant expeditions were absent for many days and returned without notice either of the cessation or renewal of the blockade in a word that every prescription of maritime law and every write of neutral nations to trade with a belligerent under the sanctioned of principles heretofore universally respected were systematically and persistently violated by the United States neutral Europe received our remonstrances and submitted in almost unbroken silence to all the wrongs that the United States chose to inflict on its commerce the Cabinet of Great Britain however did not confine itself to such implied acquiescence in these breaches of international law which resulted from simple inaction but in a published dispatch of the Minister for Foreign Affairs assumed to make a change in the principle enunciated by the Congress of Paris to which the faith of the British government was considered to be pledged the change was so important and so prejudicial to the interests of the Confederacy that after a vain attempt to obtain satisfactory explanations from that government I directed a solemn protest to be made in a published dispatch from Her Majesty's Foreign Office to her Minister at Washington under the date of February 11th 1862 occurred the following passage Her Majesty's Government however are of the opinion that assuming that the blockade was duly notified and also that a number of ships is stationed and remains at the entrance of a port sufficient really to prevent access to it or to create an evident danger of entering it or leaving it and that these ships do not voluntarily permit ingress or egress the fact that various ships may have successfully escaped through it as in the particular instance here referred to will not of itself prevent the blockade from being an effectual one by international law the words which I have italicized where an addition made by the British government of its own authority to a principle the exact terms of which were settled with the deliberation by the common consent of civilized nations and by implied convention with our government as already explained and their effect was clearly to reopen to the prejudice of the Confederacy one of the very disputed questions of the law of blockade which the Congress of Paris proposed to settle the importance of this change was readily illustrated by taking one of our ports as an example there was evident danger in entering the port of Wilmington from the presence of a blockading force and by this test the blockade was effective access is not really prevented by the blockading fleet to the same port for steamers were continually arriving and departing so that tried by this test the blockade was ineffective and invalid thus while every energy of our country was evoked in the struggle for maintaining its existence the neutral nations of Europe pursued a policy which nominally impartial was practically most favorable to our enemies and most detrimental to us the exercise of the neutral right of refusing entry into their ports two prizes taken by both the belligerents was especially hurtful to the Confederacy it was sternly adhered to and enforced the assertion of the neutral right of commerce with a belligerent whose ports are not blockaded by fleets sufficient really to prevent access to them would have been eminently beneficial to the Confederate States and only thus hurtful to the United States it was complacently abandoned the duty of neutral states to receive with cordiality and recognize with respect and a new Confederation that independent states may think proper to form was too clear to admit of denial but it's postponement was equally beneficial to the United States and dentro mental to the Confederacy it was postponed in this statement of our relations with the nations of Europe it has been my purpose to point out distinctly that the Confederacy had no complaint to make that those nations declared their neutrality they could neither expect nor desire more the complaint was that the declared neutrality was delusive not real that recognized neutral rights were alternately asserted and waved in such manner as to bear with great severity on us while conferring signal advantages on our enemy perhaps it may not be out of place here to notice a correspondence between the cabinets of France Great Britain and Russia relative to a mediation between the Confederacy and the United States on October 30th 1862 the French Minister of Foreign Affairs Drouin de la hues addressed a note to the ambassadors of France at London and st. Petersburg in this dispatch he stated that the Emperor had followed with painful interest the struggle which had then been going on for more than a year on this he observed that the proofs of energy perseverance and courage on both sides had been given at the expense of innumerable calamities in immense bloodshed to the accompaniments of civil conflict was to be added at the apprehension of servile war which would be the climax of so many irreparable misfortunes if these calamities affected America only the sufferings of a friendly nation would be enough to excite the anxiety and sympathy of the Emperor but Europe also had suffered in one of the principal branches of her industry and her artisans had been subjected to most cruel trials France and the maritime powers had during the struggle maintained the strictest neutrality but the sentiments by which they were animated far from imposing on them anything like indifference seemed on the contrary to require that they should assist the two belligerent parties in an endeavor to escape from position which appeared to have no issue the forces of the two sides had hitherto fought with balanced success and the latest accounts did not show any prospect of a speedy termination of the war these circumstances taken together seemed to favour for the adoption of measures which might bring about a truce the Emperor of the French therefore was of the opinion that there was now an opportunity of offering to the belligerents the good offices of the maritime powers he therefore proposed to her majesty as well as to the emperor of Russia that the three courts should endeavour both at Washington and in communication with the Confederate States to bring about a suspension of arms for six months during which time every act of hostility direct or indirect should cease at sea as well as on land this armistice might if necessary be renewed for a further period this proposal he proceeded to say would not imply on the part of the three powers any judgment on the origin of the war or any pressure on the negotiations for peace which it was hoped would take place during the Armistice the three powers would only interfere to smooth the obstacles and only within the limits which the two interested parties would prescribe the French government was of the opinion that even in the event of a failure of immediate success those overtures might have proved useful in leading the minds of men heated by passion to consider the advantages of conciliation and peace the reply of Great Britain through Lord John Russell on November 13th 1862 is really contained in this extract after weighing on the information which has been received from America Her Majesty government are led to the conclusion that there is no ground at the present moment to hope that the federal government would accept the proposal suggested and a refusal from Washington at the present time would prevent any speedy renewal of the offer the Russian government in reply said according to the information we have hitherto received we are inclined to believe that a combined step between France England and Russia no matter how conciliatory and how cautiously made if it were taken with an official and collective character would run the risk of causing precisely the very opposite of the object of pacification which is the aim of the wishes of the three courts the unfavourable reception of the proposal was communicated by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs to the representative of France at Washington in this communication he said convinced as we were that an understanding between the three powers in the sense presented by us would answer as much the interests of the American people as our own that even that understanding was in the existing circumstances a duty of humanity you will easily form an idea of our regret at seeing the initiative we have taken after mature reflection remains without results being also desirous of informing mr. Dayton the United States Minister of our project I confidentially communicated it to him and even read in his presence the dispatch sent to London and st. Petersburg I could not but be surprised that the Minister of the United States should oppose his objections to the project I communicated to him and to hear him express personally some doubts as to the reception which would be given by the Cabinet at Washington to the joint offers of the good offices of France Russia and Great Britain it has already been stated that by common understanding the initiative in all action touching the contest on this continent had been left by foreign powers to the two great maritime nations of Western Europe and that the governments of these two nations had agreed to take no measures without previous concert the result of these arrangements therefore placed it in the power of either France or England to obstruct at pleasure the recognition to which the Confederacy was justly entitled were even to prolong the continuance of hostilities on this side of the Atlantic if the policy of either could be promoted by the postponement of peace each to thus became possessed of great influence in so shaping the general exercise of neutral rights in Europe as to render them subservient to the purpose of aiding one of the belligerents to the detriment of the other perhaps it may not be out of place to present a few examples by which to show the true nature of the neutrality professed in this war in May 1861 the government of her Britannic majesty assured our enemies that the sympathies of this country Great Britain were rather with the north than with the south on June 1st 1861 the British government interdicted the use of its ports to arm ships and privateers both of the United States and the so called Confederate states with their prizes the secretary of state of the United States fully appreciated the character and motive of this interdiction when he observed to lord lyons who communicated it that this measure and that of the same character which had been adopted by france would probably prove a death blow to southern privateering a means it will be remembered which the United States had refused to abandon for themselves on the 12th of June 1861 the United States Minister in London informed Her Majesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs that the fact of his having held interviews with the commissioners of our government had given great dissatisfaction and that a protraction of this would be viewed by the United States at hostel in spirits and to require some corresponding action accordingly in response to this imitation Her Majesty's Minister gave assurance that he had no expectation of seeing them any more further extracts will show the marked encouragement to the United States to persevere in its paper blockade and unmistakable imitations that Her Majesty's government would not contest its validity on May 21st 1801 Earl Russell pointed out to the United States Minister in London that the blockade might no doubt be made effective considering the small number of harbours on the southern coast even though the extent of 3,000 miles were comprehended in the terms of that blockade On January 14th 1862 Her Majesty's Minister in Washington communicated to his government that an extenuation of the barbarous attempt to destroy the port of Charleston by sinking a stone fleet in the harbor mr. Seward had explained that the government of the United States had last spring with a navy very little prepared for so extensive and operation undertaken to blockade upward of 3,000 miles of coast the Secretary of the Navy had reported that he could stop up the large holes by means of his ships but that he could not stop up the small ones it has been found necessary therefore to close some of the numerous small inlets by sinking vessels in the channel on May 6th 1862 so far from claiming the right of British subjects as neutrals to trade with us as belligerent and to disregard the blockade on the grounds of this explicit confession by our enemy of his inability to render it effective Her Majesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs claimed credit with the United States for friendly action in respecting it his lordship stated that the United States government on the allegation of a rebellion pervading from 9 to 11 states of the Union have now for more than 12 months endeavored to maintain a blockade of 3,000 miles of coast this blockade kept up irregularly but when enforced enforced severely has seriously injured the trade and manufacturers of the United Kingdom thousands are now obliged to resort to the poor rates for subsistence owing to this blockade yet Her Majesty's Government has never sought to take advantage of the obvious imperfections of this blockade in order to declare it ineffective they have to the loss and detriment of the British nation scrupulously observed the duties of Great Britain toward a friendly state it is not necessary to pursue the subject further suffice it to say that the British government when called upon to redeem its pledge made at Paris in 1856 and renewed to the Confederacy in 1861 replied that it could not regard the blockade of southern ports as having been otherwise than practically effective in February 1862 and that the manner in which it has since been enforced gives to neutral governments no excuse for asserting that the blockade had not been effectively maintained the partiality of Her Majesty's Government in favour of our enemies was further evinced in the marked difference of its conduct on the subject of the purchase of supplies by the two belligerents this difference was conspicuous from the very commencement of the war as early as May 1st 1861 the British Minister in Washington was informed by the secretary of state of the United States that he had sent agents to England and that others would go to France to purchase arms and this fact was communicated to the British Foreign Office which interposed no objection yet in October of the same year Earl Russell entertained the complaint of the United States Minister in London that the Confederate states were importing contraband of war from the island of Nassau directed inquiry into the matter and obtained a report from the authorities of the island denying the allegations which report was enclosed to mr. and received by him as satisfactory evidence to dissipate the suspicion thrown upon the authorities by that unwarrantable act so to when the Confederate government purchased in Great Britain as a neutral country with strict observance both of the law of nations and the municipal law of Great Britain vessels which are subsequently armed and commissioned as vessels of war after they had been far removed from English waters the British government in violation of its own laws and in deference to the in opportune demands of the United States may be an ineffectual attempt to seize one vessel and did actually season detain another which touched at the island of Nassau on her way to a Confederate port and subjected her to all unfounded prosecution at the very time when cargoes of munitions of war were openly shipped from British ports to New York to be used in warfare against us further instances need not be adduced to show how detrimental to us and advantageous to our enemy was the manner in which the leading European power observed its Hollow profession of neutrality toward the belligerents end of section 24 | Priceless Audiobooks | UCly1zcKPGzGW9wZMCZodWOA | 2017-11-16 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 14,833 | 87,450 |
Zsvn6UmT4Xo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsvn6UmT4Xo | Webinars Worth Watching W^3 Graduate Student Competition Finals | Oh so welcome to the first cover at UNCG and I was just saying to the audience maybe the first ever in the world that we know of webinars worth watching so we'll start out with introductions and how this kind of competition came to be so Greg is out there waiting for one of our judges who's about to come in and so maybe he'll say something in a second but right now my name is Sam Harlow I'm the online learning librarian at even City Libraries which means I work with a lot of our online students particularly I work a lot with our online graduate students so the reason why we started this competition if some of y'all might have heard of three-minute thesis this idea of quickly efficiently presenting about your research for a broad audience can make it clear to understand I've always loved that competition and I also a lot of helping graduate students online graduate students too so I thought would it be cool we can include our online graduate students in this kind of competition so we are trying this so the idea of it that you can go to that website right there go UNCG edu /ww if you want to learn more but the rules of the competition that we developed are that you need to have a PowerPoint or a good apply presentation if you don't have to but all of our contestants do but with no more than 10 slides including your title slide and your credit quad so webinars are limited to 10 minutes maximum I will be timing me and I will cut it off right at 10 minutes so keep that in mind and then webinars are spoken word so you can't like seeing your webinars and the minute that they you start speaking when you're clean you're clear that this is a computer that you are starting your presentation is when I start my timer so we have a group of judges here which I'll introduce in a second but they are using this rubric so you can link out to that later it's on that website that I mentioned but basically it's looking at engagement and how clear the contestants name is the research to up so they will be grading it and then we'll add it up and we will have a first place a second place winners and a People's Choice so I'll release that form at the end of this as well so these are preliminary judges I just want to thank them in case they're in the virtual room I know this was in a busy week I think bond actually might be good wife might be having a baby right now but just to thank them for all the hard work that they did on this we've had three rounds of preliminaries where we picked contestants out of that to pick these final four contestants so thank you to April black Amy Harris help and Vaughn Stewart and you can see their titles they're there from the library their instructional technology consultants and the Javan is the director of the digital axis to do so our finalist judges are here in the room maybe you want more becoming so here we have you can't see it we I decide not from Cameron's not distract you but we have Karen bull the Dean of UNCG online here with us and we have Lee Phillips the director of research and engagement and we might have Andrew Campbell can enjoy Nia the associate vice provost of Student Success so um Greg do you want to say anything before I introduce the contestant just say something briefly um so welcome everybody you know I think Sam said it all I want to get special thanks to her for organizing all of this and making it happen realizing it um as she may have mentioned when I was outside just now this video with presentations is becoming more and more common and what's exciting about this day has global reach so it's vital to our students have the opportunity and the training to make the best use of it and today you're going to be seeing the presentation from the or finalists of this composition that they really are the best of the best and the same mention there's a People's Choice so we're all paying close attention and getting to our favorite okay thank you so first up again I did this by alphabetical order of last name is Elvis Foley from kinesiology and he will be talking about biomechanics birth control and biochemistry examining a risk factor for ACL injury using a multidisciplinary approach if the judges want to take a second and write on other things we name so Elvis are you ready for me to hand you the prepetition yes I am okay here come and take your time remember that from the preliminaries the minute it is clear that you are ready to go is when we start judging you okay I'm ready thank you everyone for taking the time out of your day to come and watch these webinars and my presentation here my name is Elvis Foley and I'm a master's student in the kinesiology department currently working on my master's thesis and I'm going to present all exactly what I'm studying part of my master's studies so please keep your chat box open and available since I'll be asking questions in the chat so my presentation title is a bit long but I'd like you to focus on the first three words biomechanics birth control and biochemistry I promise before the end of this slideshow you'll see how these on-disc inning Li disparate fields are actually connected to each other and can help solve a problem that faces athletic women so getting started here on the biomechanics side um we're going to consider the ACL which is the anterior cruciate ligament and it's a ligament that prevents excessive forward motion of the lower leg relative to the upper leg female athletes are at an increased risk of injuring their ACL and compared to male athletes who play the same sport at the same level of competition and even though this such base disparity in ACL injury rates is multifactorial sex hormones have been implicated in that risk so my first question before I move on is does anyone have a friend or a relative who has experienced an ACL tear and I'll take just a few minutes or just a few seconds to like you all respond and I'll address the first two questions that come in through the chat you I see so from mark multiple athletes multiple sports and a friend from high school so moving on to our next slide here arm we're going to examine the effect of sex woman's on the looseness of ACL so did any of you know that hormones can affect the ACL go ahead and answer that question in the chat you okay seems most people did not know well hormones are perform a number of functions but the research has shown that hormones such as estrogen or estrogen as lows relax in appear to increase the looseness of the ACL while other hormones such as testosterone and progesterone seem to of oppose the effects of estradiol and relaxin and lead to a stiffer ACL what complicates matters is the fact that a number of athletic emails use hormonal birth control pills which contain two different hormones one of which is similar to estrogen it's called ethinyl estradiol and it may loosen the ACL and then a class of compounds called progestin which mimic the effects of testosterone and progesterone of the extent to which they mimic these hormones is known in biochemistry speak as antigenicity its ability to mimic testosterone as well as potency one type of progestin called lebanon jestro is very potent and very antigenic and thus may fit in the ACL on to a greater extent than another progestin that's common in birth control pills called nora indra you can see at the right side of your screen potency and antigenicity greatly vary among birth control pill brands depending on the type of progestin that's used as well as the dosage of the projections that are used in the pills so how does one measure the looseness of the HCL that's a very good question um we're going to consider an Tierney laxity which is a clinical measurement of the looseness of the ACL and it's a risk factor for ACL tears so increase in E laxity um puts a woman at greater risk of tearing her ACL as you can see in this first video here the clinician is pulling on the leg of participant here and the ACL restrains the upward movement of that leg in the second video you can see me performing are the same tests except using a device called an ER trauma tur which puts numbers on to this measurement so I'm able to measure the amount of movement that's restrained by the ACL so the purpose of my project is to examine the effect of the progestin compounds in birth control pills on anterior knee laxity we hypothesize that females who are on birth control pills that have greater potency and antigenicity due to their progestins will have stiffer ACL or less knee laxity than females who are on birth control pills with a lower potency and antigenicity balance so this is what our subjects look like of course um they are young adult females and use combination birth control pills we placed them into four different subject groups depending on the chemical characteristics of their birth control pills I'm using one of my research assistants here as a model additionally they need to be physically active and they need to have at least one healthy knee that we can measure a very relaxing so when our participants come to visit us we perform a blood draw in order to assess their hormone levels we test their general joint laxity which is the least niche of a number of joints such as their pinky their thumb in their alga and then we assess their internal laxity as I had shown in a previous slide using an ER kilometer we have our subjects come in at two points during their pillow cycles once when we predict their hormone levels to be the highest on the hormones contained in their birth control pills then once when we predict those same hormones to be at their lowest levels so here is a novel piece of this exam this whole experimental process we're using a technique called mass spectrometry which comes from analytical chemistry and before I explain this would all of you just quickly tell me which skittles flavor is your favorite ooh we have a lot you love green and let's see great and red so the way I can best explain mass spectrometry is to use a bowl of skittles imagine you are trying to figure out how many red green and purple skills are in a bowl so the bowl of unsorted skittles might represent a sample of human serum mass spectrometry is able to detect the color or the molecular weight of the progestin or a different hormone and separate those hormones by their molecular weight so I'm able to know what hormone levels a certain person serum contains to show you what this looks like without the skittles here I am in one of the labs here on campus examining some actual serum and calibrating the mass spectrometer so what we expect to find as I said before is that females who are on birth control pills with the higher antigenicity and potency value will have stiffer knees and perhaps a lower risk of tearing their ACL than females who take birth control pills with less potency and antigenicity one thing that we want to do is provide information to parents clinicians and physicians about the chemical composition of their birth control of birth control pills so that they can empower themselves and make an own decisions of regarding our birth control use on especially if they're athletes we also hope to provide new research techniques to on future researchers in the field of kinesiology as well as other fields on so that they see we'll be able to look at the effects of hormones um on ACL injury rates thank you very much for listening to my presentation and here are my references and acknowledge perfect you were right at my hips like one second before ten o'clock ten minutes so thank you we are going to take a second to have the judges to be able to fill out their rubric that would elephant um then we will go [Music] you okay Jessica are you ready for me to hand you the reins I'm going to share first your screen for how did finish half their we're brick so we're going to go take a minute I just gave my dog a treat that will hopefully last 10 minutes first time who has a very anxious dog Russia a dog would not be cool with me not paying attention yeah I have extra treats in the top bed just thinking I appreciated you Oh you super-fun okay so I think Jessica is getting set up okay Jessica I'm just gonna start introduced to you and then I'll hand you to I just got some human development and family studies and she will be talking about divine things are religious people more grateful you ready yeah I'm ready I'm hoping that I'll work this time the preliminaries Thanks okay I'm going to share a plea yes ah yeah the poor thing today right yes ex-wife okay meet myself and take a second and the minute it's being clear you start I will start the timer home and all my windows lined up Oh all right I think I'm ready to begin as Sam said my name is Jess tomorrow I'm a PhD student in Human Development and Family Studies and this is my master's thesis it was entitled divine thanks an examination of religiosity and gratitude and this kind of came out of research that my research lab had done for several years working at the development of gratitude in children and a lot of the children and particularly their parents and the interview had talked about their gratitude to God and it was something we hadn't really looked into yet in our lab and I was really interested particular to parent know does this matter and so the big question sort of around the features that I was asking was our religious people weren't grateful and we know that gratitude is featured in so many different religious texts in the Quran and the Bible and all sorts of different pictures and hymns and they're giving thanks as a daily part of religious life from many people and so when I looked over the literature I found that yes the literature really does say it looks like religious people are more grateful and this lined up with what our participants had talked about they had said talked a lot about their strategy to God and how important God was in their life and how great they were to him when I looked a little bit closer into literature though I found that gratitude and religiosity were conceptualized and measured differently in all the different studies and so it made it really really really difficult to make any generalization so before we're going to move on and talk about the the research itself I'd like to clarify what we're talking about so real quickly in the chat window if y'all could throw in how would you define gratitude looks like the first thing that pops into your mind when you think about it and have anybody giving thanks yes definitely thankfulness appreciation yeah these are all constructs we see in the literature so real quickly I'm going to break down the different types of attitude and I think there's a Byzantine right here from The Princess Bride and Diego Montoya says at the clips of Doom's says you keep using that word I do not think it means what you can get me and keeps talking about inconceivable but I think a lot of times ratatouille researchers are talking about gratitude so I'm going to break it down into three different types of data tude the first type being two-part and I'm going to give you a little story just to kind of help give a context for it but my sister sent me flowers for my birthday and they're peonies my favorite why they had them at my wedding she me that's right and so thoughtful with her so in the first type of gratitude which I'm going to call two-part I might have said I'm so grateful for these flowers so the benefit is the flowers I'm a beneficiary the second type is called three parts that might have said I'm so grateful to my sister so she would be the benefactor for the flowers on my birthday how did that benefit benefactor benefit and beneficiary then the third type is something called four part and it's automatic said like I'm so grateful to my sister for thinking of me she just had a baby week night it was pretty special I'm an offender conclude from my favorite restaurant I want to think about what she would want so that type of situation we've got the benefactor the benefit the beneficiary and this reciprocation or at least its intent to reciprocate and into the conscious of gratitude that I looked at in my research I looked at those two and three part and four parts alright so let's move on to talk about religiosity in the chatbox to notice throw in how you think this might be defined in the literature what you think it is to go to a place of faith gas is definitely religious attendance frequency of Prayer all those types of things are seeing a literature giving thanks yes that's another line so there's many different ways let's look that I use the measure that looked at in two dimensions I looked at it in transcendence which is really this belief in God but also in this interpretation and today we're really going to focus on transcendence which is this y-axis that looks at the inclusion of transcendence at the top being a higher belief in God or a higher power and making exclusion of transcendence to be a lower faith or perhaps even not not a belief in God okay so let's move on to next one these are the research this is a big research question that I asked related to trans women so is the belief in God or a higher power associated with the expression of either 2 part 3 part gratitudes or four part what do you guys think do you think it was associated with these types of RAD a few and my findings we need to stir that a chat box too if you want you can take us apart or part or both as a matter for Carter okay that makes sense right so a lot of times we think well maybe were just people you know the really practicing us a lot for part well right before I jump into that I want to give you a quick look at who I asked this question to so while we looked at the development of attitudes and children I decided to you initially beautiful college students so thank you all the 211 students at UNCG that was it really appreciated your participation noticed a Christian sample mostly female and surprising in an undergraduate HDFS class and I use three measures first critical belief scale which looks at religiosity and then two dimensions and then also two measures of gratitude this gratitude questionnaire six which contains items that are two part and three parts so looking at the three benefits beneficiary benefactor and benefit as well as just the benefit and the benefactor and in the four part and the four part was a qualitatively coded survey publish your data to survey and we have what is your greatest wish and what would you do for the person to grant achieve your greatest wish and we're coding to look for reciprocity in that so interesting part the results was really fascinating to me I found that fourth card gratitude the degree of transcendence a group degree of belief was not a significant predictor of gratitude for the fourth card gratitude but the degree of transcendence the belief significantly predicts predicted is two to three part measure and it wasn't a huge effect size but it was significant and so it's fascinating to me you can see that here on the diagram on my model the logician sentence predicted this type of gratitude but not the other type that really illuminated to me what I was seeing in the literature there's a real difference between these different constructs even though we're all talking about them using the same words so the big questions came out of this you know to me how can we giggles grateful and I'm grateful why are these results are contradictory and of course the answer is Diego mentally oh right we're all using different concepts with the same name we don't think it means what we think it needs and so this disparate definition really really reckons with literature it's hard to the Builder literature and really make any types of generalizations or to learn from one intervention to another the other question I get a lot about this is well which approach reflects true gratitude you know what do you think and from our perspective and our research group we really believe that this 4-part virtuous gratitude is what we should be aiming for this is a type of gratitude that creates where we reciprocating to another person and then that reciprocation happens again it's we're building a cycle of gratitude and that's what builds connections and families and communities and schools right in society at large and it's this gratitude as a virtue that really connects people in binds our society I love this quote by Gertrude fine she said that finally gratitude isn't doing much to anyone I think that couldn't be more true it's not an opposite so thank you it's not an asked us to acknowledge I think that when we can we should be trying to suffocate so some future direction that we've been taking this work we have completed some pilot interventions at the Greensboro Montessori School and the experiencer school of Greensboro and in that one we actually concluded a treatment control in those situations we saw a significant increase is a movement from children who had we're not expressing this type of for plug gratitude with reciprocity to expressiveness reciprocity I'm in prison if extent ways of your point of this and of course where there's four week intervention so that was really really exciting to us there's some possibilities there for including it in intervention from the future that we can have to put into curriculums for schools we also created a grant to do something similar at Camp Weaver but instead of working directly with the children we would be working with the ten counselors and talking to them about ways to encourage the development of this gratitude and children in their cabins that's a really cool situation because there's different cabins which provides up for Communities for controls and a really fun in a really neat way so that's pretty exciting the other thing that we're doing probably one of the things that I'm most excited about right now is the particle that my adviser John and I've been writing personal development the working title is what is gratitude the answer is in gratitude as described upon but and really what that saying is that if we think about what in gratitude me gratitude is this kind of lack of reciprocity right something does something for you and you have an opportunity to repay them you don't well that would be ungrateful or in gratitude what's the opposite doing something so that's what the article is about and it's really trying to push the field to embrace this four part instruction of gratitude in the literature these are my references if anybody has any questions I would love to answer them I'm really excited and passionate about this I'm sure you can tell so thank you very much next a mile past right over you so it is you're at nine minutes and 35 seconds okay the judges will um take a second everyone you oh okay Andrew I just unmuted you um while the judges are doing it do you have any questions or have a rubric or are you good I'm good I'm filling out the rubric and I'm being very kind great perfect okay I'm gonna meet you again nice so okay and you're up next so I'm going to slowly start kicking it back from you Jessica and share and final constant while the judges finish off can you still hear me okay I can action you okay so I'm gonna show it introduced and the judges are finishing up that rubric so and is also from kinesiology and she'll be talking about the differences and brain function and structure between various degree of knee laxity individuals so and are you ready yes I am you okay can you see come into my powerpoint slide yes so take your time and you can get them into present mode I'm going to meet myself now and again when it is clear you know start you have started your presentation I will start the timer exactly thank you today I'll discuss about brain activation individuals with a high risk of a star injury considering how many people have ever heard about ACL injury before who are know someone who turn their ACL ACL injury is most common from an injury in sports related field ostendo say yes yeah it is really common of injuries in sports will related field the initial major injury is also increases the early onset of osteoarthritis the evidence shows an 80 percent of likelihood of developing osteoarthritis within 15 years of a cylinder also a phil injury often these patients can unable to go back to their previous activity level and also unfortunately it carries it with a high risk of secondary injury let me take a quick poll right now if you think female or higher Dinos or are at a higher risk of injury please click the green check box using the participant or participant screen if you want to participant screen you will be able to click the green check swing yes I can see that some people think that emails are and if you've seen males are at a higher risk of a surgery then please click this red X button in the participant bar the most people think females are at a higher risk of injury yes ACL intensive aids are two to four times higher in females and males then why don't women are at a higher risk of a surgery so previous researchers have studied these factors of a lethal injury in female among the multiple risk factors such as anatomical hormonal and neuromuscular control new laxity is known as one of the most significant risk factor of ACL injury Wheelock sedate is commonly known as you lose enjoyed and is also refer to as hypermobile joints or slope to me and it is also known that individual we lose we don't have to create sensory input from their needs to the brain and in my call temps have altered movement pattern now let's talk about why both an individual with loosely don't have less central information there are sensory receptor innervated in our needle as you can see there's mr. receptor in the knee and this those receptors are stimulated the knee joint is loaded or before and then you can enter is the most flower brain and their brain processes is sensory signal and sending back to execute movement and also stabilize the joint however in the loose knee joint as you can see in this picture indicating sloppy need the receptors innervated in this you see joint may be stimulated red due to their lower tension of the ligament what is then messenger information to the brain you may cause a whole turtle movement pattern so does everyone understand why individual with loosely joint that sensory information if you do please click the smiley emoji and off in the participant box that Evette yet people understand on or if you don't understand please create all interface in the in the pocket stand back things like a lot of people understand why individually loosely don't have that sensory information due to their sensory receptors innovated in their needs less stimulated and they sell messenger information to our brains in the process of doing stabilization we learned the important role of the brain our brain integrates and processes the sensory signals arising from the peripheral area and then they transmit it back to stabilize the joint moreover our brain is unique ability to reorganize its function and structure depending on the environment for example individual reads on ankle immobilization patients with ankle immobilization sold less brain activation the brain region related to physical movement oh I hate this research question since individual with Lucy don't have lot sensory information from their knee to the brain and our brain has unique ability to reorganize its function and what are the differences in brain equation between those results and tightness on individuals if we can identify these differences you may help us to fully understand how to me communicate with the brain in individual for at high risk of a surgery you may help us to develop brain way to be able to infer them so the purpose of this study is to determine how new business impacts renovations for immediate loading which is designed to stretch ACL to send sensory signals to our brain so in my study I examined eight email participants who are healthy and physically active and then they are signed in to either the loose knee joint group or tight-knit group based on Neulasta value using this clinical guide if I can use this clinical device inside of MRI to perform and clearly downloading to be perfect however any kind of metal materials or contraindication undergoing MRI scanner so I designed and developed this MRA promoting device while participant lay down the mRNA table aircraft is placed underneath air test the air cop is hard to see in this picture like color d3 and during the functional MRI scanning the researcher inflate and deflate this aircraft at the 80s into a different opera room using the bicycle pump and then this illustration of aircraft performs interior medium model and also stretches a CL needle moving tasks start with 30 seconds of relax followed by 30 seconds promoting for total off or cycles then I compare the brain activation it to enjoy loading faces and relaxed faces for each individual frame and then I compare the brain activation or between loose knee joint group and tiny joint group but we don't we go that smoothly Wentworth has the last separation in brain region related to sensory input a red area in this picture represents the brain area which is less activated in both we don't route this brain region also plays an important role in awareness of body depredation you may indicate that in video with loosely don't they let may of may less aware of their bodies predation during physical movement not there are some may be less sensitive to stabilize their joint then potential damage force is applied to the knee joint also we need some brain base or sexy brain based rehabilitation will be needed when we do with a goose we don't to improve their ability so they're aware of their bodies predation one of the examples will be vulture we already training without visual feedback from their body in this training patients will be able to see their environment but not they will not be able to see either body so they have to concentrate hard where their hands and where their feet to complete the test this may help them attain better awareness of their body's position during physical movement throughout this study we learn that there are fundamental differences in brain activation between loose knee joint and tight mr. needles loosely don't individual demonstrated less brain activation brain region the latest awareness of the body was a brain-based rehabilitation for those individuals will be needed however this study is included only 8 participant so we need to view this study as giving that approach or the research goal to fully understand how the new communicate to the brain individual for at high risk of a cell injury thank you for listening my presentation this is what I have to pass until great thank you you were at nine minutes and forty nine seven eight times great so again this is the part where the judges are going to take a second and [Music] tally their vote you so they're finishing up I'm going to take the reins back from you and okay and Mark are you going to be ready after I introduce you you bet and Mark is our last contestant people have to go right at to finish up please remember we're going to ever roll into our last contestant there is a People's Choice Award and that I will send out right after mark so stay to vote for that just so that I have a heads up while people are finishing grading this class contestant is that you do have to log in with in some kind of gmail account to access this form or be in a browser you are logged in but it is anonymous like when I show the results it won't show your name and that is so that we don't have multiple votes it's just that each of you boat one time the path in line so our last contestant is mark snow from kinesiology ABB he is a fully online student and he is talking about the creation of online active learning faculty development page so mark are you ready yep more people in the room so it's taking me a little bit to get to you okay so like all the others mark I'm gonna eat myself and I will start timing you once it is clear when you have started hello everyone thank you so much for being a part of this webinar if you I do have my video on so you can kind of see me but if you need to to get away from the presentation you can move that or you can just hit the reduce button we will be doing some polling within this particular option we're using a different website called poll everywhere so if you're available to use your web browser or your phones it to go to poll Evie comm backslash marks no oa2 it would be greatly appreciated you can we also will be using some QR codes I wanted to be able to provide you guys some information if you wanted to take this a piece further going forward and this QR code actually goes directly to the poll com Poli decom I'm going to speak a little bit about my dissertation practice that I've been working through that actually led into my practice experience that I did this semester on creating an active learning learning management system page for our faculty at my university so this should be populating pretty soon it just takes a little bit of time to upload but I'm just going to speak for a little bit is there was a study done by Patrick Howell and whisk usin in 2016 where they asked faculty and students perception of learning within that poll that you're able to get into my first question is is what did you identify as what faculty stated was best practice in the accomplishment of students learning outcome is it problem-solving lecture educational games and activities or group and collaborative learning and again the instructions are at the top if you need to take a look that's available you can even text message if you want to as well just give it a second to upload and what was identified as best practice was actually a it was problem-solving then next followed by a group and collaborative learning then followed by lecture and then educational games and activities so I'm going to clear this out and ask you another question is what did faculty identify that they used the most often in the classroom per activity and it's the same answers going forward right and actually that is correct they I did identify that lecture was what they used most often so there was a little bit of a difference in between what they figured was best practice versus what they felt that they used most often I'm going to ask one more quick question in here and what did you think that student I dentists identified from the floor that was the activity that helped them to learn best in the classroom very good and actually the number one answer was educational games and activities which is kind of it's funny because they identified as that as their number one but faculty within this study they identified it as last so I'm going to move on to the next slide it might take a couple seconds to upload so basically what I wanted to be able to do is provide a resource that would allow our faculty to have multiple resources to pursue the opportunity of using active learning in the classroom so within that learning management system page we use canvas is to be able to define active learning so evidence-based practice that active learning works talk about how active learning wraps into assessment of learning outcomes provide many examples of different types of active learning activities and to provide solutions to those faculty that may see that active learning being a barrier so this gives you here's a QR code actually to the canvas page itself if you wanted to scan it feel free to do so also I just put some snippet of what the learning page looks like I couldn't do the full canvas page because it's actually quite large but I did a couple of pictures of the first point and you can see that there's an introduction and then kind of working into the actual examples as well so I'm going to go a little bit into explanation of that going forward and I wanted to be able to define active learning so I provided multiple definitions but most bond well and is and and 91 did the umbrella me turn of active learning and showed the importance of multiple students doing and engaging in things and thinking about what they're doing some research that I was able to put up that I found through my literature review is that in Cavallo & West students that volunteered to perform active learning duties actually found that at the assessment at the end of the year the students in the act of learning voluntary activities were eight percent better on the multiple choice questions but 31 percent better on short answer and essay questions so these students are actually achieving higher order thinking skills by just being incorporated in voluntary activity Fremen at all in 2014 they did a meta-analysis of 225 studies and what they found was that the failure withdrawal rate was reduced by 55% for those students that are in active learning they also found that exam scores increased by about 6% for exam which overtime meant to be a half a letter grade better in an active learning classroom Eddy in Hogan looked at learning gaps between socio-economic ethnic groups and first-generation student versus other generation students and they found that active learning classroom helps to shrink that knowledge gap by half so I'm going to let this populate again but I wanted to see what you guys if you guys can get into the activity is what do you think is the biggest barrier for students doing active learning in the classroom is it class size is it done faster isn't actively for this on less is it the they're unfamiliar with active learning is it that they are comfortable with lecture methods or is it time Andy you can come up with it sometimes may be so kind to please mute your microphone it would be appreciated please I will just see there we go its population and actually the number one piece that came up was was was time but these were actually different by department so that's very interesting is that one particular department thought that they were unfamiliar active learning which is another department saw that time was an issue move on to the next slide so what I tried to do is as this uploading I'm just going to talk a little bit more is I wanted to be able to explain the process and try to work towards those barriers as much as I could and then try to wrap that into by providing them several examples okay see here why it's not changing the next page I apologize you there goes sorry I'm going to back up a little bit you okay so I took a lot of information from Berkeley a major it's a wonderful book if you're looking into learning assessment techniques but basically it really wraps into you really have to understand the goals or the objectives of the course to determine the active learning activity and then be able to assess the outcomes and this they basically they met they're matched the activity based on learning taxonomy done by Fink this is a learning goals inventory that can be scanned by the university Alabama that allows our faculty to kind of do a quick survey and to determine where they kind of fall to help them determine what activity works best oh and then basically we're just filling content so Kay Patricia Cross Academy is a phenomenal website that has videos and templates that they can do and they are organized activity type teaching problem addressed and then think's learning taxonomy direction and then we're an iPad University so I created a bunch of different videos using the iPad that showed them different ways that they can use that within the classroom and so the QR code below is actually to my youtube page if you're ever interested in seeing that as well thank you if you have any questions please email me at MH No - at UNCG edu and there are my references great thank you Mark so as the judges are scoring and as we're figuring it out I'm going to drop the link to the forum for people choice if you're in the room it is go UNCG edu /ww people and to take you to a Google forum again if you need to log into some kind of gmail account or be logged into one it's still anonymous don't learn and that is how we will Kali the People's Choice winner please virtual attending students so that we have a good number for people to go vote all right I'm going to take it back from you and if you are willing to wait a couple minutes we will start talent tallying the winners myself while we figure this out so I'm going to meet myself while we're tally Colleen and again be sure to go to go you in Fujita edu /ww people take this as well it's in the chat you okay so here we are someone recent the voting link so hopefully all boudic we're wrapping this up I know people have to go so here we are people Choice winner is mark so with creation of online active learning faculty development page congratulations mark so um from now we're going to announce the first and the second place winner so the first place winner is let me pull up my things like okay sorry we're so we're doing this so the second-place winner is and with differences in the brain function and structure between various degree of knee laxity individuals congratulations and you won second place thank you thank you thank you and now for our first place winner it is Jessica with divine thanks are religious people more thankful so Thank You Jessica congratulations until then I think I needed you because haha you guys I have the power so Jessica step first I just underneath is hey angel he's worse downtown just uh I don't think I said this by the beginning and I know we're kind of doing the end just to pay myself what the prizes are I put some Ellen here first place is going to win three hundred dollars second place is two hundred dollars and people choices one hundred thank you so much Elvis it was really close everyone did great and I must stress we had nine to the preliminary

features a wide variety of individual sessions led by more than 30 presenters from Sam Houston State University's faculty and staff and from many other educational professionals from around the nation in the world all committed to sharing Innovative exciting and practical pedagogical strategies we appreciate the participation and insights of everyone attending this year's event together we will explore the ever-changing world of online education discovering the tools we will need to meet the challenges of today and of the years to come thank you for being here today please join me in welcoming Phil Hill as he helps us explore the emerging New Normal of digital education and how it Compares and contrasts with pre-pandemic learning including the role of key Technologies such as the learning management system and video conferencing Phil Hill is the publisher of a technology blog and as a partner and Market Analyst at mine wires LLC previously Phil was an independent consultant and has worked with numerous clients including Western Governors University California community college system UCLA Lumen learning and Coursera once more welcome to the 2022 digital education Summit well thank you I appreciate the introduction and it's looking forward to speaking with you guys today um the way I start out one of my favorite phrases and it comes from software product design is eating your own dog food and the idea obviously getting into it's it's good to actually try out your own product or your service for your own usage so you get an idea of what other people are doing and with a topic like let's not romanticize 2019 it certainly seems appropriate for me to actually apply that to myself as well and not just talk about the concept but uh you know see where it goes um so with that in mind you're going to get a slightly different uh keynote than I've provided in different scenarios before but I think that it's uh worth doing now my business is I do Consulting I do market analysis but I sort of don't fit into categories and the blog is really where most people know me that was mentioned in the intro video and in my head this blog originally on e-literate but then more recently it's still on edtech is you know it's a website it's provided for free but we always uh had added a newsletter option as you see on the top right at our newsletter but that was really just to notify people when a blog post came out so they can go to the site and read the blog of course what was uh much more useful for me was the RSS feed uh that's the way I you know I felt that it would be good uh for people to consume this content if you will and um as we moved over time I started noticing that a lot of occasionally I would meet people and I'd say hey it's great to meet you I read your newsletter and I was what are you talking about I have a Blog yes there's a sign up for it but I don't have a newsletter per se I hadn't joined the uh sub stack generation actually didn't exist back then and of course with RSS that became a little bit outdated as well not as many people use it outside of podcasting but it just it started getting to me where I started looking at data which I don't do a whole lot and in the data I would say it got to the point where up to four to five times the number of people actually get the uh get the blog through the newsletter so we send out a full feed of the newsletter um so that means the entire blog post is there and people are reading it and then the way they share it is they just forward that email to other people for them to read and it just got to the point that was the dominant version you know for me some of the things I have uh some high high resolution graphics and I initially was thinking well that doesn't fit within a newsletter that's 600 pixels wide you need to be able to you know do more than that and they even had some interactive stuff but I really needed to check my assumptions and look at what the feedback was telling me which is I actually do have a newsletter it's not just a Blog with an email notification actually have a newsletter and that sort of is forcing me to rethink of how things are distributed and what how people would like to be able to get the content now that's not the only uh issue I would point out um I'd like to do Graphics to tell stories as well and that applies to Keynotes it applies to some of the market analysis so the one you're looking at right now is one that I've done about the OPM Market I was trying to point the story that you read about the OPM Market growing and you know just going gangbusters and I was trying to point out it's actually a really dangerous messy Market with a lot of challenges in the market and this is even before this year's Tech downturn so I've created this Mad Max diagram to liken the market to people pursuing online college uh program Revenue and all the pitfalls and dangers that are there so I've done this type of graphic well another thing I'm trying to say is well are there other ways to tell stories and not take which is sort of a rule-based very time consuming way to come up with these graphics so one thing I started looking at was mid-journey and mid-journey is this new artificial intelligence-based system to create paintings or images digital images just using a prompt on Discord so it's a little bit hard for me to wrap my head around but it's it's a system that would allow me to more quickly generate images that tell a story and use them more often so for example in this view on the left side I one of my initial prompts was I have an Australian Shepherd so I typed in a blue merle uh Australian Shepherd in a Picasso style and of course uh it's quite good looking like a blue merle Australian shepherd with the exception of the system didn't understand blue merle so it added blue splotches onto the dog which wasn't correct and the Picasso didn't add too much except for maybe in the background but so I'd like to actually apply this and try to use some of these stories and it's one thing I'm learning about it and how to think differently using tools that are available today that didn't used to be available today now on the right you can see it actually can produce some perfectly you know some amazing imagery if you know how to do the prompts and how to apply them so you see the prompt on the bottom and this isn't for me it's from somebody else on the system that produced this very interesting image on the right so it's pretty remarkable what the AI can produce on imagery and it opens up possibilities to do things so I'm trying it out I'm not 100 sure where it's going to go but I want to keep pushing forward and trying to learn as I move forward and so as I do it I you know like I said I'm not quite sure how much these newsletter and this mid-journey is going to affect what I do in the future but it is causing me to not Look Backwards but sort of move forward now where are we in terms of digital education one of the things that uh you know we shared this early on was uh that covid and the response to covid was going to come in uh phases it wasn't just going to be one big change and the thing I'd point out phase one this originally did this graphic April 1st 2020 but uh phase one was at rapid shift online that happened in a matter of weeks which is remarkable phase two we described it as well most people are online that summer but we need to re-add the basics like there's a lot that we already know how to do with quality education we need to put it back into the system that didn't necessarily work well obviously it didn't work perfectly but there was a phase of how do we do things around accessibility understanding students needs and put them back in Beyond just that initial shift to remote teaching and then we predicted some other phases on how the transitions getting back to this emerging New Normal there's a lot we don't know about the emerging new normal but we certainly know the digital education infrastructure is it's critical it's Mission critical as far as what you do so as you look at these Basics uh there's a question about what that means um there was a lot of feedback that we've seen that says online learning was a disaster and in a lot of cases what they're really talking about is emergency remote where people just through their classes onto Zoom or Microsoft teams and there was a lot of negative pushback and this is sort of a common view that we've seen online learning was a disaster this is not the only place that's doing it and I think that's sort of built into a story that we talk about um and it's the assumptions and so a lot of the view right now is how can we go back to what we know how to do much better but it's interesting because if you look at some data it challenges that assumption now this is coming from a survey from Wiley University Services it used to be given through Learning House and they have a very good survey where they look at online students or recent graduates of online programs to get their direct perceptions and it's been a valuable resource over time well it turns out from their reporting that prior to the pandemic if you said now that you've done an online program do you have a positive or negative view of it 86 and currently it's actually increased to 94 even with all the turmoil all the remote teaching all the things are happening good and bad it turns out that people's view students View of online learning is actually increased and that's interesting because it sort of challenges our assumption about this notion of let's go back to what we know how to do there's more things going on beautiful so what are you know if we look deeper what are some of the other implications as we look at this well we saw what I consider a remarkable movement if you will where people are saying hey emergency remote learning is not online learning and there was this mantra pointing out hey what you're going through with zoom that's not what online learning is it was actually very successful I mean I could I've heard this phrase so many times over and over and it's a remarkably successful thing by the way uh this gets back to the mid-journey usage it's it's got some interesting texture to the things I don't know what happened to her hands and it's interesting that even though I gave it a prompt of emergency remote teaching it's not online learning it couldn't get the sign right now to me that's I'm realizing it that I'm very used to looking at things as a rule-based system and AI is a different way to think about it and so I'm learning what it can and can't do but in any case you had this pretty much a protest that's sort of Taken hold and that's absolutely true there's a lot of things that happened that did not take advantage of what the community already knows how to do well but there's a risk in that view as well there was even a uh members of the National Council for online education came out and they strongly said emergency same phrase emergency remote is not quality online learning you know where the risk ways is in this but when done correctly which has almost a subtle implication that we already know the right way to do online learning and it it negates some of this hey we need things are changing and we need to learn from others as we move forward so that's where the risk is and we have to be careful that we don't view this as let's go back to pre-pandemic when we knew what was happening and let's move forward quite often this got phrased in a way that was in the asynchronous versus synchronous teaching you know and uh if you you know as people phrased it they said well Zoom you know we don't want to associate teaching with a synchronous session on Zoom just lecturing moving the classroom online which is a great point well another note uh you'll see here that actually Zoom is not school when I tried that out the AI was able to get that and I think it has a much bigger database that it's trained on that includes those words zoom and school and just something interesting to note that I'm trying to understand as well all right well going back to that same survey you can see that people aren't wrong look at the bottom it basically which type of program would you prefer it's asking online students and if given the binary choice of asynchronous versus synchronous um 69 a strong majority of students would prefer asynchronous over synchronous but of course this is worded in a way that implies the choice is purely asynchronous versus purely synchronous uh Zoom it it doesn't explicitly do it but there's sort of an underlying assumption that happens there but that's not necessarily the choice of a pure either or and and we have a lot of experience with this now if we look forward so if you did have if when asked the question well how often would you be willing to log in at a specific time basically to get into a synchronous session that's a discussion or a lecture for each class how often would you do it within a term well it's interesting 79 of Learners would take at least one synchronous session per course only 21 said I don't want anything synchronous within my course and that if you think about it challenges it doesn't say that it's wrong but it causes should cause us to say there's some Nuance to this anywhere anytime approach to online learning that maybe students don't always want purely anywhere anytime asynchronous versus synchronous there's some Nuance we need to understand by looking at their preferences now uh in our Consulting work we've worked with a Statewide community college system and we asked the question and it's independent of that survey but we ask these students across the state if you were selecting a program section how important are the following attributes and one of the attributes was availability of live online meetings with the instructor and or other students and the results were remarkably similar roughly seven to nine percent 79 of students who said it was very important or important that that would influence which section that they actually take so it's another data point saying that this is uh interesting and I think we need to think about this now why is it important it's not just the technology hey we should use synchronous one of the uh what I consider the Achilles heel of online learning over the years has been engagement that there's a lot of good teaching and learning but if you look at student feedback one of the biggest complaints if not the biggest complaint is a lack of Engagement between them and the instructor or between and among students and there's a strong you know that's been a weakness hey I like the fact I could do this from home but I feel disengaged I need more opportunities and one way to look at this is the choice is not necessarily do you if you're talking synchronous do you now do all lectures on Zoom it's do you use what tools are available to increase the availability for engagement and it might be student to student group work it might be discussions so the point is I'm as we look at this data it's not that people are clamoring for Zoom lectures however there's permission being given by the majority of students saying we can explore synchronous along with asynchronous in our classes and there may be better ways to do things and it might be a way to increase engagement and really address one of the weaknesses of online learning this is one of the biggest examples in my mind of where we need to be careful and not romanticize 2019 and the idea of when done correctly and that we know how to do us and don't look at sync too often I see people saying don't look at synchronous we can't use it as a tool because students want this with new students and new data there's some challenges to those assumptions now what other area that I would say is important when we say let's not romanticize 2019 really comes down to adoption how people adopt technology Everett Rogers was a professor Ohio State University Iowa State and sociology and he had done what I consider it's like the Bible of social adoption of Technology diffusion of Innovations and he looked originally at the idea of why are there certain innovations that work in some cases they don't work in others this is where you get technology adoption curves is from his work so for example that there are different groups of people types uh innovators technology enthusiasts early adopters and Visionaries on the left side and these tend to be the people who initially adopt technology and they're willing to put up with like 80 Solutions and we'll fill it in but we want to push the envelope and try things don't hold us back but then you also have a majority and that's where people tend to be much more conservative okay if I'm going to use technology well it better work don't make it my life more difficult and you know I need something consistent all the way down into what you can call laggarts or Skeptics and these people have different needs at different stages of the adoption curve Jeffrey Moore wrote in crossing the chasm he sort of augmented this model of how Innovations are adopted and he said that's true but there's a real Chasm between the left side and then the majority of the right side and this is where a lot of technology-based adoptions fail where people you know make bad assumptions is because there's such a big difference between these groups this Chasm is where it's difficult to sort of cross over now why is that relevant here this is a chart looking at iped's data and it's basically the green line is showing the percentage of students taking at least one fully online course in the US higher education and it was already increasing 26 27 28 moving up gradually and over time you know even before the pandemic we had more than one-third of students who were taking at least one online courses well this also implies that one more than one-third of courses and therefore one-third of Faculty members have direct involvement in online learning and in digital education even if there's a mixed mode what the pandemic did is it through almost everybody online so now even faculty members and students who had no desire for an online course they actually did experience digital education in a much stronger way for the past two years and this has a big impact on the adoption issue that we're looking for so one of the reasons uh to avoid looking backwards to 2019 is because we're in a different environment now we're in a world where the majority of Faculty members in particular and staff and students when they talk about online learning they're not just talking about what they read what they assume what they've seen of somebody down the hallway and the majority cases they've actually experienced it for better or worse and that changes a lot of the Dynamics one of the things that we've sort of pointed out is when you're supporting online programs whether you're a vendor whether you're a support staff whether you're a faculty so you can apply this to students to faculty different ways but you no longer get to choose which side of the chasm that you're going to serve we've always had a digital education these edtech enthusiasts the people who are taking as I said they're taking something they want to move forward they want to try things out they want you to give enough of the solution that they can be adventurous but now you have this other group that is fully involved in digital education that are much more mainstream they want guard rails they want safety and so part of what we need to look at with digital education is we've got to fully take into account both sides of this Chasm with the solutions that we provide and with the designs and going back to the synchronous asynchronous a lot of these mainstream really experienced education if you will by synchronous learning and not all of it was bad there are a lot of things that could be applied such as I we've talked to some schools where they it's a remote campus and it allows people to feel connected with each other so it might be group discussions might be office hours it might be interactions with the faculty and not just hey we're going to throw do a lecture live at the same time and we've we can learn a lot from these groups and what they've experienced and the feedback they're giving us on digital education and where it can go so there's a lot of possibilities that we could learn from based on just purely the adoption and the involvement in this moving forward a lot of courses obviously and a lot of Education it's going to go back to face to face we'll have greater involvement online than we did before but one of the impacts most likely in the digital world is that even I think there's going to be a greater adoption of hybrid type of choices hey I have a classroom component but I'm going to apply what I learned online into my face-to-face course and so the field of people practice you know practitioners is really greatly increased because of the pandemic we need to think about that what it means and how to move forward now this was uh looking at uh success rates the California community colleges and one of the things they've been working on for a long time is saying in this case it's course success rates in our percentage of students who or number of students um who are doing this face-to-face versus online and what the rate of success so the on the left the 50 to 70 percent is how many students on average were getting Beyond a DF or W uh and that's it there is a gap and one thing we obviously need to acknowledge is there is a gap in performance where online success rates have not equaled face to face that gets overplayed some it doesn't take into account the non-traditional student and part-time but there is a gap now over time they've been closing that Gap um not just in California there are many areas that have done it so this is also a good way to look at progress but again like with the previous things we have to be careful about the assumptions behind here and that it causes us to look backwards in this case it gets into the binary choice of face-to-face versus online which is not how people are experiencing digital education right now and there's a lot more variation if you will and one of the another reason to say let's not romanticize 2019 is we need to be honest it's not as if face-to-face education was really the gold standard of quality education even before this so there's a lot of pushback that you know we're trying to replicate face to face and we want to equal that success well there are many cases not all obviously but many cases were face-to-face quality was quite questionable it really rate you know how much engagement do you really get in a large lecture um you can if you really redesign it but not always so there's some assumptions and even on the face-to-face side we shouldn't be looking back to the way things used to be and there's some real quality that we should question and uh move forward on Kevin Kelly works with me uh this is uh from his chart but he was you know showing how over time we're moving from a either or to a both and situation and in this case we're looking at asynchronous versus synchronous and on campus versus online and it's not just a binary choice of are you face to face or are you online and if you're online is the answer oh that means it's fully online and asynchronous we have a lot of things that are fully online but they combine synchronous and asynchronous we saw emergency remote which was mostly in the top right fully online but synchronous but you're seeing a lot of blending between on-campus and online programs as well that's growing and this is going to be one of the impacts of the pandemic is the amount of learning we can take from both sides and apply to richer educational experiences in the center uh one thing that a lot of schools have tried is a high Flex idea where you do in class uh synchronous lectures available you know online synchronous but you also have recorded to do it offline um but the point is there's many different options now to us and a lot of it is based on mixing modalities together and we need to be careful that we're not just looking back to a face-to-face versus online binary and doing our data analysis or assumptions based on that likewise we have we need to look at the can be portion of the quality online education can be as good or more effective than face-to-face education I believe in that statement but I think that we also have to be honest that you know there's far too many online courses that really have not been designed well and need to improve and so we need to expand or increase the percentage of courses that truly are well supported have a good pedagogical design and support online learning so in this case this is from uh George Washington University there was a lawsuit based on this pre-pandemic a graduate program that was online and some students actually sued after the fact and this is one of the court documents showing what was presented online and you can see that what was done is they simply took the overhead transparencies that they would typically use in a lecture they scanned them in didn't even do a good job with scanning the men and then threw them online well it lost all of the content messages is all it says under communication transaction now face to face I assumed there was a good discussion from the instructor and this just was an organizing principle but they it was a form of emergency remote for them they just threw things online and didn't rethink the quality design and how things were organized but the point is that if we're looking you know the tendency might be we know how to do things correctly that we know how to do things quite well but we need to acknowledge that in too many cases things were not done well and if you look at feedback there are a lot of poor quality online courses we need to focus on how do we move forward now to get a greater percentage of these courses that have effective pedagogical designs behind them and try to move forward that way we need to avoid this type of approach which uh was too common uh to be quite honest and you know we're making improvements but we need to be much more aggressive and how we improve online learning just same with face-to-face and and combining them now what I'd like to show is this is an example of I did some interviews and this was a hybrid example it was adaptive courseware at a community college um and they were it's interesting to listen to what the students um how they perceived it so let's play this and I'll talk a little bit about it most of the students we talked to seem to have internalized the lessons of self-regulated learning and feel empowered to learn it's really good because like for example say I'm doing a topic and I'm storing PBS faster than I am I could work by my own pace and then it's a professor there that I could raise my hand excuse me I don't understand this could you help me with it because everybody learns at their own pace um yeah we are typically just sitting down on the computer screen but we're spending next to our classmates so if there's a problem on it I could ask my classmate like that's the that's actually the best thing about Alex is that there's an explain button right there like as many times as you want you can hit it you can ask a friend you could call the professor you could ask the um sub Professor you could even watch a video like it's whatever you want if you don't get at that point then it's it's your fault okay the new approach does Place new demands on the faculty for me I would say to my colleague this is hard work um you cannot again sit back and think that it's going to happen by itself your job is to ensure that you speak to each student every day and when they leave launch them for the next day or the next class your job is to observe that data look at it closely and be proactive in what's going to happen to that student next because you can almost always tell from the data and student Behavior if you're observing students what's going to happen next and I love this video even though it was done several years ago and it's in a hybrid format they're talking about not just in terms of uh fully online but I think so many of the principles apply here um I love listening to how the students react to the various help options I have somebody over my shoulder I can hit a help button I can talk to my colleagues he's Khalid is describing engagement that what they've I could engage with my instructor I can engage with other students I can engage with the technology and there's so many different ways to keep me engaged and I'm not just sitting alone doing work very rotely and not connected to anybody it just found that fascinating and they applied it to the self-regulated learning like the point wasn't the help button the point was I can now manage my own education and it means so much to me another one is what the faculty members were talking about this is a lot of work I'd like to tie this I see a lot of comments in the chat right now that are really going along the same lines it takes a lot of time for faculty to be involved in a different more effective way with digital education part of that time is the amount of communication to be done so for example the teacher was talking about you need to be talking to them every day so the interactions being available that's time consuming it's also time consuming to sort of learn a new approach understand how your past assumptions need to change and you need to start to see a new way of working with this type of adaptive learning consistently when we interviewed faculty they would say take a full academic term and then the second academic term it's like they would start to have epiphanies now I get it now I get out my roles changing and how I can be more effective so a lot of the points coming in on the chat are talking about yeah this gets to professional development opportunities and support for faculty and the ability to really help people go through this process and that is a very important aspect of this so one way to look at this you know fully resourced teaching and learning is really the most effective in the modalities almost secondary so that's that's a big part of the way to look at this um I think there was another student talking about students uh having access for them we talk a lot about the digital divide and whether students have broadband connection that's absolutely an issue but just as much and you heard this from the students in the interview they need to think about things differently they become in a lot of course designs much more accountable and responsible for their own learning success and they need help to Think Through different ways of doing things so there's a we need to have greater support for digital education moving forward part of that is ensuring that we have quality course design part of it is improving the ability to help faculty members experience things and get over past assumptions and move forward part of it's even helping students deal with this as well so obviously we have constrained environments of budget but we really need to be moving forward and looking at how to do things you know how to increase the effectiveness of what we do so one way to look at this is to say this for so long there's been a discussion of uh you know should we do online learning I think that was probably one of the most common discussions and well the mooc age but up through 2019 is it there was too much discussion of is online education a viable option or is it a shortcut is it quality and there were this type of of discussions happening right now one way to look at this is for people directly involved in digital education is this we won it's it's really no longer disputed that there is a significant argument for online education for a great percentage of students not all of them but for so many of them and that it can there's a growing recognition that done properly and supported properly it can be as effective or even more effective and we need to get a lot more but and there's so many more people who now have had experience doing this that are we're past that argument we don't need to justify a lot of the work that we do right now for those in the community and we need to recognize we're at the next stage of the evolution and we need to look forward and say how do we improve the percentage of courses that are well designed and successful how do we increase the ability to support students and move forward and so a lot of this is where I think that we actually are at this stage and we need to think more in terms of not how do we get past the mooc era and I mean the zoom era actually you could argue both um of education and remote and how can we get back to what we know we need to really shift that thinking and there's an opportunity and I think this Summit is a great way of doing this of saying okay how do we move forward what assumptions have we made in the past that we need to move Beyond and how do we increase the support of students and the in the success moving forward so let me actually uh make sure there's some time to ask some uh questions out there um so are there are there specific questions on this topic or points that people would like to to add and there's some great chat within the great discussions happening within the chat but any questions that we should pop up well I just wanted to surface a few questions that have been coming up in the chat for you um so there's a few different themes in the chat that um that I'm following uh one of which is the idea one instructor said that selecting technology amongst the plethora of choices that are out there has always been a challenge and along that theme there was some discussion about the the difference between students being quote unquote digital Natives and being familiar with things like an LMS and online learning but Paul had a specific question for you um he mentions about integrating new technologies new instructional Technologies in your class that it can impact teaching evaluations and he asked if you integrate new technologies that might not always work right away and how do we account for that in faculty reward structures uh if you want me to pretend that I can improve uh HR applications around faculty I want to be very careful that I know the solutions there actually I would my main comment is to agree that this is a major issue um yeah as we enter a lot of the interviews I've done for video and else otherwise this subject that that was brought up is a huge thing um teachers for the most part you don't like getting embarrassed in class by trying something out it doesn't work uh and it can affect the evaluations whether it's student evaluation so it is risky so first of all I'd like to acknowledge I think that's a very valid point and a very big risk now how does it get solved I mean you are seeing more more of a movement where there's like a tenure track line for teaching positions and there's a much richer definition of what is teaching quality or instruction quality so quite honestly I don't have an easy answer to that other than acknowledging it's an excellent point and I think it holds back adoption because of how evaluations are done I've seen some schools and systems that have definitely improved it and I think there's a understanding we need to improve it but I don't have a quick answer on how to do it another Trend in the chat early on Phil when you were speaking was talking about um the the need for adding synchronous sessions and opportunities to connect synchronously to uh the learning experiences and uh one of the questions that came up there's a lot of sharing but one of the questions came up was you know if you have any advice for perhaps how to go about scheduling those in a way that's accessible to most or all of your students who you know may have been expecting a more perhaps asynchronous schedule um well for the first thing I would do and I tried to tie these two subjects together keep in mind I think that one of the greatest values or potentials for synchronous sessions is to increase engagement and so think in terms of Engagement don't yes I'm not completely discounting lectures and the value of people hearing you talk and be able to do the chat like we're doing right now that chat is increasing engagement it's allowing a q a so if it's going to be a lecture you need to have a very well thought out ability to have students uh interacting with each other and with you but having said that don't limit yourself to just official times and official lectures uh keep in mind that from the survey data students didn't say hey I'd be willing to do 79 said I'd be willing to do this every week or multiple times a week they said up to five times based on the way the survey question so carefully choosing an area where there could be a lot of interaction between students and between uh faculty members is the key way to think about it and usually that's going to be a special lecture or not a lecture at all it's going to be office hours it's going to be group discussions something that's very interactive in nature so how to schedule it the first thing I would uh I would look at two areas one is where is it most appropriate within the course design to really get students involved and make sure they're not just sitting back going through things by Road where is it most appropriate to help them with engagement so scheduling it that way the second is time zone and working hours is look at you know you need to understand if you're in a fully online program that might have international students or people you've got to look at the time zone issue and you might have to do multiple sessions at different times just to try to capture everybody the survey data tends to say that evenings are much better than during the day because there's a bias of online students to be working adults or you know students with children they have to deal with so typically it's the evenings but it might be across multiple timeline time zones that causes you to have to do multiple sessions and the other thing is don't forget the value of group discussions hey I'm going to get a group of I'm going to enable a group of students to do a synchronous session where they're working together and I as an instructor I'm either helping them monitoring them or maybe not even directly involved and what those students grouped by time zone or the hours available let them choose so I guess part of the point is time of day and time of week you need to be flexible and provide multiple options so if I just follow the data don't do it every week do it and select you know places within your course and then really give options to try to handle the time of day in the time zone issue and typically for working adults non-traditional students you're talking in the evening so um those are some of the piece of advice that I might say excellent and uh just say in case there are any other questions that anyone wants to post into the chat or I'm not sure if attendees might be able to unmute their microphones now I'm not sure but if not we can certainly see it in the chat yeah I think there's some great ideas getting shared as well I was just going to tell you while people are typing perhaps a little bit I'm also a big fan of Med journey and uh I've been amazed of what you can do and see how the AI generates images and while you were talking I actually asked it to create one of you in your hotel room hosting this session I'll send it to you later because it's it's it's pretty darn spot on you don't want to pop it up right now oh I could hold on as long as we're doing interactive stuff let's push ourselves out of our comfort zone now now I feel bad because I said that it was pretty spot-on you might not agree uh let's see all right here's here is what uh mid-journey imagine do you look like in your hotel room hosting this session so I like it I like that I need to I'm going to do a robe next time I do this that's the robot I think the sunglasses give it a definitely again yeah sunglasses in the hotel room yeah that is a funny thing but you know to to close it out you know part of what I've learned and I'm not trying to say hey what is based on what I've learned I know how to do this but it's just it's interesting for me to go through this exercise as well choosing the right technology I'm not convinced that I'm going to use mid-journey long term but I have thought through like what's the purpose of it and conveying a story and being able to do it in a quicker way that could be appropriate just for that context such as what you just shared that's very valuable and I'm learning but when I do it I can't think the old way that's very rule-based I need to go through my assumptions and move it forward likewise hearing feedback from people the just going back to that original point that people view the fill on edtech as a newsletter probably more often than they view it as a Blog that I need to react to that feedback and deal with it and likewise we have a lot of opportunities and hopefully we've listed some here where we can really not Look Backwards but look forward and take advantage of the new feedback and the new people involved in digital education as a way to improve what we're doing and improve student for uh support moving forward so it's difficult work takes a lot of time but I think we're in a very exciting point of time in the edtech world and what the possibilities are and looking forward to the rest of the conference and the ability to share people to share ideas on what we could do moving forward so thank you very much I've enjoyed this time and the discussion online I'd like to turn it back to you excellent yeah thank you guys for joining uh obviously this was a fantastic session Phil Hill thank you for making that happen also thank you everyone for joining us thank you uh Patrick for including that awesome photo and JT for uh you know putting the video through and all of the everything in the background I encourage everyone to check out some of the the sessions today uh we have a few that are about to begin so again thank you from everyone at shsu online and we will be seeing you again shortly thank you | Phil Hill | UCrWPDEV_AXhPS6eSVRYVNHA | 2022-10-21 | Creative

f4NVRhAhhM8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4NVRhAhhM8 | West Virginia Disavows False Flag Rumors | welcome to the Infowars Nightly News today's date is July 18 2013. it's a Thursday I'm your host Rob Dew and here's a look at some of our top stories on the Infowars Nightly News Russian war games include simulated attacks against the United States then a domestic drone crash lands in Florida a zombie virus is used to scare boy scouts about bio attacks all that and more coming up on the info walls Nightly News the government climbed on top my mother and that's how you got Alex Jones I am the son of Obama so we've got Russia doing War exercises we've got the IRS singling at the Tea Party and we also have our top story the state of West Virginia is saying hey no false flag here and this stems from a lot of things that have been going around the internet the last few months um one coming from a guy named David Vander Beek who said that he had information there was going to be a false flag at the Jamboree well we reported on that that he put that on his post and then he was getting it from government sources now the state of West Virginia I guess from all the hoopla and all the people calling into public radio stations and TV stations and asking there are people going on we have the article now from Infowars West Virginia dismisses false flag allegations West Virginia Public Broadcasting has issued a statement on the community's beckley's best Facebook page assuring the public and conspiracy theorists that the National Guard training exercise taking place at the same time and location as the national Boy Scout Jamboree are not indicative of a false flag event we go now to the West Virginia Public Broadcasting and they even have a statement from a major general James Horner West Virginia's adjunct General says there's no truth to the rumor that the guard and Department of Homeland Security plan the training to disguise an attempt by the government to use the Jamboree as a vehicle to expand his power but it's not just rumors on somebody's Facebook page or on the Internet we also have government documents things that we take Bonafide here at infowars.com we have a proclamation that was signed by the governor and that was of this year July 2013. that's going to start from the 14th of July to the 26th um the Jamboree will bring approximately 40 000 use and adult Scout leaders as well as thousands of visitors to the state of West Virginia and we moved on a little bit more whereas in keeping with the Boy Scout motto be prepared in preparation for the Jamboree it is necessary to activate the resources of the West Virginia National Guard and to implement Emergency Management assistance moving on to the second page of this Proclamation order the implementation of the state Emergency Operations plan the activation of the state Emergency Operations Center and a manner and location to be established by the director of the division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the implementation of provisions of section 6 Article 5 chapter 15 the code of West Virginia so basically they're mobilizing their Emergency Management apparatus and materials and facilities in order to take into account you know the 50 000 plus people that are going to be descending on this remote area of West West Virginia and it's near the New River Gorge Bridge they bought a site um near a army base and we also have an executive order signed by the governor this it was done last year and getting preparation for this and they talk about the summit Bechtel family National Scout Reserve where the the Boy Scouts are moving their Jamboree to on the third page here the West Virginia division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is hereby designated as principal agency to coordinate all state agency planning and response for activities and events of the Boy Scouts of America at the summit you want to hear the last page the West Virginia division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management show coordinate with key agencies that will have major roles in support of the national Scout Jamboree and shall provide the governor within 60 days of the sort of a financial impact statement outlining the needs that such agencies will have in order to provide proper support for a successful event so nothing nothing innocuous there they're activating some emergency sources they're getting a lot of things together but what's interesting is that these executive orders and proclamations also coincide with several um exercises that are going on and I'm going to go to the exercises then I want to show you something else that appeared on a on the Beckley Facebook page and this is reported by a local news agency you have the air guard exercise Century storm and army exercise Ridge Runner and a disaster training and response exercise that we haven't given a specific name that is going on at the tunnel at Camp Dawson and that was done by a National Guard member who gave us that uh named Hoyer he also expressed the state's main objective is to showcase the state's ability to provide military and National Security Training according to a news release from the National Guard training events for Century storm began on Monday and will run through Friday and will include Air National Guard units from five states and the Army National Guard and Army Reserve units but all this is taking place in an area where you're gonna have about 50 000 Boy Scouts and their dads and other Scout Masters and auxiliary Personnel descending on this mountain you also have these major military exercises going on so it could be used as cover for that which is why you have people speaking out now here's another interesting thing that came out on the Beckley uh beckley's best Facebook page there's a public health notice 2013 national Boy Scout Jamboree at the summit Bechtel Reserve uh July 15th through the 24th 2013. down at the bottom it says local businesses situations to report reports of possible foodborne illnesses among your customers or guests multiple complaints of any similar illnesses by customers or guests for example five guests of rashes or four people complaining of vomiting and if you look at what uh David Vander Beek was saying he was saying it was going to be a communicable disease that was passed around or some kind of Bio attack that was that's what he was getting from his source now we don't know if any of this is is happening or if it is has happened we mostly surely we have you know people in that area that we've been in contact with uh they've been talking about lots of helicopters and lots of uh air you know airplanes and stuff flying around the area lots of army activity um setting up you know tunneling operations going on all kinds of stuff going on there I can tell you this I've been to West Virginia I've family my family Roots actually come from West Virginia uh many years ago I was involved in a production at The Greenbrier hotel which is maybe about 40 miles east of this area and this was a location that in the event of a nuclear attack the entire president United States cabinet members were going to be evacuated to this hotel which has a giant bomb shelter in the basement so West Virginia being involved in these government operations is not anything new they've been doing this for a long time now is anything going to happen well here's another interesting thing this is out of Virginia Tech thank you zombie virus to be Unleashed at national Boy Scout Jamboree to teach kids about contagious diseases okay there you go and there it is from the Virginia Tech news uh 50 000 Boy Scouts might just turn into zombies as part of an educational game called virus tracker the data collected by applying viral structure can be used to understand how social contact networks are Pathways for transmissions of infectious diseases a virus tracker allows participants to use scannable barcodes to infect other players they'll get points for infecting one another but they will also strive to become and stay human from the data collected at the Jamboree researchers will create an infection tree to show how individual Scouts spread zombie viruses within their population we are very excited about deploying virus tracker and other educational applications developed by Network Dynamics and the simulation science laboratory at the forthcoming Boy Scout Jamboree not only will the scouts find these applications interesting but scientists will be able to learn about epidemics in important new ways and that was from madif mahreth the deputy director of laboratory and professor of computer science at the College of Engineering so you have this exercise going on of a zombie virus and we've seen the government in many ways DHS most notably was doing zombie outbreaks and practicing of mowing down multiple zombies shooting people in the head stuff like that on the name of good clean fun now what does the Boy Scouts have to do with the Army and all and DHS and all those other things well back in 2009 the New York Times published an article called Scouts trained to fight terrorists in the morning we've covered this many times there you had the Boy Scouts with guns they were training Scouts as young as 14 to go and take down veterans they were going on drug drills based uh helping with border agents this was all done through Homeland Security well this is done in 2009 the youngest being a 14. flat fast forward four years later these kids are now 18 are of now of age to participate in these things on a real time spans so what have you got you've got the Boy Scouts once again doing exercises with the National Guard I was actually on hand for some of these exercises back in 2010 in Chicago and we can roll this footage now the Boy Scouts and they're some of their shirts as they were all their troop shirts they were all at actually being victims of a terrorist attack they were being used as hostages in a bio situation here it is going towards there there you have the National Guard kicking in the doors this police training but they were also using polish soldiers which will see some of that footage later they kill the two terrorists then they order everyone else to get their hands up get on the ground there they are forcing them on the ground and this white powder that you see in the screen that was supposedly the biological agent which I thought that was very interesting that they're having the people put their hands and faces into the biological agent then they would lead them over to areas and count them off they were shouting orders at them ordering them to cover their faces later on they go through a whole decontamination procedure but there we go there's a patch right there it says boa that is the Bureau of anti-terrorism in Poland that is their actual patch so these guys were on hand for this exercise and I have on tape you can go watch operation Vigilant guard um on the Alex Jones Channel just do a search for that and we have officials Emergency Management officials in Chicago saying the Polish are only there as observers they're not participating well there they are participating they were ordering students around at gunpoint uh these Boy Scouts um using them guarding them they're actively participating in these exercises throwing flashbang grenades and other such things they were active participants and for the Chicago Emergency Management official to lie directly to my face and I asked him the question twice I said are you sure because we saw them participating in exercises earlier in in the day and he said oh no no no they're just merely observers so that's what you get you get there it is Operation Vigilant guard and that was in 2010 it's in several parts because back then we can only upload uh 15 minutes of a time up to you our YouTube channel but there you can see that's actually major lesiac there with one of our Army National Guard units and they were doing all kinds of things and at the very end which is very interesting because we always hear people talk about these crisis actors well our the last exercise we went was a bio attack at a chemical plant and it was uh funny enough it was the chemical manufacturer that made the dispersant that they used in the BP oil disaster they made lots of it and they had people lined up they had five three well three or four makeup artists there putting on wounds on people and lots of different areas fake blood using all this stuff and then they were put out in various locations and then they did search and rescue and decontamination exercises with those people but they had wounds so that they could doctor the wound and and then bring these people out but this kind of stuff does exist they do these exercises ongoing this is nothing new but it just it's just an interesting dichotomy of the Boy Scouts being absorbed into the state and it kind of has to go back to it goes back to President Obama's remarks at the time where he said we need a civilian National Security Force just as powerful just as strong as our military forces to get through uh with the objectives that they've set which is mainly go around and be a minder be a communist set up communist minder brown shirt units which is where we're going at this point and so that is definitely something to be on the lookout for um it'll be interesting to see if anything happens or if anything doesn't happen one thing is for certain uh info horse has done its due diligence looking at this situation we've brought out all the facts that we've seen at this point the government documents the proclamations by different public officials so now it's waiting to see what will happen if there was anything planned I think by us Shining Light on it and others out there they probably will have backed down on any plan so let's hope nothing happens because the Boy Scouts is I think a good organization I was an eagle scout actually so I went through the whole thing many years and I learned a lot I learned a lot about how to take care of myself and how to be an asset instead of a liability that was one thing we always talked about is by learning different skills whether it's first aid or how to read a compass or how to build a fire you want to be an asset to your group not a liability and so that's all we're going to say on that we'll see what happens moving on to drone news Air Force drone crash closes remote Florida Highway and this is out of the AP air force closed Highway 98 West of Panama City and east of Mexico Beach because of possible fires from a crash of a drone officials said the Drone has a limited 24-hour battery life and will be inactive after the battery was depleted so we don't have that many drones flying the skies and we've already got them crashing but by the year 2020 just a mere seven years away CNS news reported back in March that the FAA predicts 10 000 drones are going to be in the skies by that time so they are making plans to have 10 000 of these drones flying overhead and you could rest assured there will be many more drone crashes hopefully not in populated areas but we know that's going to be the case because that's where the drones are going to be flying they're going to be flying in populated areas and last it was two weeks ago we brought you the story where we had the what looked like an unmanned drone craft or a spycraft from the Air Force and E6 that was flying around really low next to the buildings in Austin Texas doing Touch and Go Landings off the Austin Airport and then we go to the website from the local newscast and they show a picture of the plane but then they added in the date stamp which Jacari Jackson pointed out you can see the two different layers there where and if y'all can bring that up that would be really interesting to see here it is off the KXAN website you can see the picture of the plane and then we're going to zoom into that and you can actually see scroll up a little bit there you go you can see exactly where they cut and pasted the 7 3 2013 time stamp on it to make it look like they were creating a legitimate piece of news and that somebody took that picture that day and they didn't do that that's not the case so there's another case of the media just lying to you like it's no big deal saw and Katrina and as we are watching now in New York and New Jersey the federal government can't and

hey i just put the dog we've got all of our outdoor furniture inside our whole back deck is completely ready for the storm it's weird it's like the calm before the storm right now it's like actually sunny but the storm's on the way we've been watching the radar downstairs we brought all of our kayaks in all of our outer furniture is right there you just have to be so much more careful here because it's just crazy my dad set up these things we're so thankful that we have all these amazing resources we have these great hurricane shutters that come down so like the glass doesn't break from the wind or whatever dad do you have any comments on this storm and all the other windows are hurricane proof impact resistant there you go these aren't so we're going to blow down he's thriving not actually i put the golf cart in the garage freddy wants to pull his truck underneath if you want later today you could bring your car into my garage oh thank you finley is like what is going on things

clothes that i'm going to show you guys i'm so excited about these selects i picked out like shoes yeah princess paulie is great i just know i can always count on them because they ship from the united states and they have free express shipping which is like three to four days if your order's over fifty dollars u.s so it's pretty great in that regard and they just have a really good shipping system i've always admired them for that and they also offer after pay and shop pay to all u.s customers so that's really great to know too so yeah let's get into the try on haul because i'm sorry i'm just i'm just really excited you know when you get a package in and it's closed that you really were excited about that's how i feel right now this is one of the most flattering tops i've ever put on in my entire life and that is saying a lot this is so perfect for going out or if you want to make it more of a daytime vibe oh my gosh this is such a great basic white tank i love ribbed white tanks it also has this black seam along the edges which i think is really unique um but it is so comfy and it's just perfect to wear with jeans or whatever you want but love this tank also along the same lines i have this super sporty tank it's a little more fitted it's a racer bag i love it it says sportif and relax co i love it it's such good quality again goes the jeans so great for summer this corset top is seriously gorgeous it's giving me like i feel like this is a pattern you would see on a t-mug or something it's oh it is so beautiful oh my goodness i feel like a beautiful ballerina this screams walking in the park in new york city am i right you could go cowgirl boots you could go sneakers which is probably what i would do a little wrinkly right now but i love the cutouts it's such a fun take on like a fun little dress then it's like oh oh she's cute though ta-da i loved the dress so much i got it in black and i do not regret it this i just this is everyone needs this dress everyone needs this dress you can get 20 off code caroline i mean the cut it's so comfortable i feel like i'm wearing nothing so put together i just want to wear it right now i feel as though something elwoods would wear which just makes me love it even more this is a beautiful ribbed pink dress i love the halter actually i think you're supposed to wear it crossed hold on yeah wait that's even cuter i think that's how the model was wearing it but i guess you could do either way like a daytime situation oh this is beautiful i love it found this beautiful midi dress you guys know i'm into midi skirts mini dresses right now so cute with just some white sneakers or sandals or wedges whatever you want to do with some gold layer necklaces i think would be absolutely gorgeous for reference i get a size six in dresses unless it's depending on the style sometimes i might go down to four depending on this is another perfect summer dress i absolutely love it again this would be really really cute with some cowgirl boots if that's your vibe or sandal sneakers again really whatever i love this material it's so light but it's like thick so you can't see anything under your dress for example this dress i got in a size four so it just kind of depends i just know my body and i know fabric and i know what goes with what so for this i knew the four would be perfect it depends if it's like more of a slim fit dress sometimes my butt doesn't do the us4 it needs a us6 so just kind of depends but i would love it another one of those dresses i just want to wear right now i want to go do something right now this is so beautiful the colors in this dress the neckline very similar to the last dress this also i got us in a size four the back is so beautiful it's got some fun uniqueness to it okay so now i'm gonna show you guys a couple of the sets that i got this first one screams like summer nights to me like you've been out on vacation all day coming in going to dinner you're all tanned up ready this is it like this is so comfortable so this is a set i got it in a us4 um it comes with this beautiful zebra halter top and then also the mini skirt and you can wear them separately if you want so it's kind of perfect as i was putting this set on my jaw dropped like i don't say that lightly this set is so flattering one two so cute i feel i feel like a boss it's like next meeting please like obviously you wouldn't wear this in the corporate world because so much skin but you know what i mean ah so here's an example of a set i got in a size six because of the pants they fit absolutely perfect top is so cute i love this light purple color i wish i had this for miami this would have been so perfect i don't want to take this off i'm obsessed and again you can wear them separately we love that for sets you guys all need this set i feel like they also had different colors but i picked the light purple but now i think i need every color like if it's your birthday yes friend's birthday yes ah this is so cute everyone needs this princess polly you've done it again this pink set is so beautiful i would so wear this top on its own with some really high-waisted jeans or this skirt i was in need of a new pink midi skirt my last one was just not really good quality at all and this one the waistband is just so nice oh this is so amazing i love it again a birthday summer dinner so perfect all right next up we have some bottoms i want to show you guys first pair are these white pants they're perfect for summer because they're nice and light they're kind of a cargo vibe i would say i love them these look so great with a super crop top just like this so the back looks like i got these in a size six so cute i'm wearing them with some heels right now a great dinner look like honestly this whole look is a vibe so i have this skirt in orange already and i literally purchased it in two more colors this is the first color i got this beautiful like flamingo pink color i just love these mini skirts hugs your curves rock what you got it's ribbed it's comfortable it's perfect just to wear with like a tank top of some sort and you're good to go so yes i also got the skirt in blue because i love it so much because i wore the orange one a lot and i also got this blue top from princess polly like i don't know a month and a half ago and it's the exact same blue and the same material pretty much that i could wear this as a set and it's so so cute also got this longer black uh i guess this is a maxi skirt yeah super soft almost jersey material very very comfortable looks great just with a black top to match a slit you could add heels if you want some strappy sandals for a dinner look or you could wear during the day maybe with more of a casual top i don't really know but it is so comfortable such good quality love it last but not least these asymmetrical denim jeans are it like these are great i love how they fit i can't really describe them i guess they're straight leg yeah i guess straight leg boyfriend vibes um got a size six so they're just asymmetrical all the way up the top and i really like how they distress the knees it's just i don't know i like how they did it's not too messy if that makes sense and then the back just looks like this i'm gonna be wearing these pants all the time just different crop tops just different crop tops like those white tops i showed you guys would go great because they had that black seam so it would match with the black and some snakes or some heels at night yes that is the princess polly hall hope you guys enjoyed i know i did use code caroline for 20 off so you can join in on the fun of some of these clothes okay i've definitely decided i'm gonna go for another walk i think i'm gonna take finley if he's down literally putting on these sneakers makes me excited to go for a walk they're so comfortable i will also link them below nike super reps and they kind of go with my little set here i am seriously obsessed with this set you guys from amazon 28 i will link it down below and it's perfect for summer because biker shorts are just better for the hot weather i'm wearing dark blue underwear which i understand was just a mistake and then i also got this bright green one it looks the same except the shirt is like a cap sleeve amazon killing it i'll link both below but yeah about to go for my hawker walk i'm going to put in my ear pods i'm going to bring finley along for this hawker walk usually i like to do it on my own but i know he's not going to get as many walks in when the storm comes i know i keep saying when the storm comes but we're like assuming it's gonna start raining soon and then it's supposed to come in tonight i guess is the new word the sky is so weird right now it's blue and it's gray i'm a little nervous back from my hot girl walk it ended shortly because the clouds started to get darker and darker and our neighbors are out of town and need help moving stuff my mom was like okay i'm going to the grocery store does anyone need anything i go two kombuchas into green juice immediately and she delivered thank you i'm gonna drink this green juice now thank you so much this one has kale spinach celery cucumber parsley cilantro romaine lemon ginger and turmeric yeah straw because i'm a slow drinker alrighty gang we are all orange today i am about to head to the post office it's so funny i really have never done a big shipment like this not even big it's literally like five things but i printed all the shipping labels and i didn't want to get them all unorganized so each bag has a different person's order with the shipping label on top i'm pretty proud of myself and i'll bring the bags back and we'll recycle them we always use these so i think it's pretty smart on my part so i'm not scrambling when i'm there and i also told my brother i'd ship something out for him too so big shipping day i'm so excited for you guys to get your pieces that you ordered from me this is so much fun um yeah we're gonna go do that okay that was literally the easiest thing in the entire world i just brought in the shipping labels that poshmark provided and the ups guys just i just had to pay for like the bags obviously that i put on and then they were off that was so easy i'm thankful so yeah feeling successful love a good errand now we're gonna head back and actually stay in probably for the rest of the day and get lots of computer stuff done i want to edit my pack with me for miami video i'm trying to think of like while i'm out if there's anything else i need to do i have like so many pairs of jeans to get altered but i feel like right now it's not a time to go do that my dad wants me to stop by his house he lives down the road um and put my car in his garage so it's safe because obviously not all of our cars can fit under our carport the rain's coming and tropical storm dad is fully unlocked he got me a portable charger in case the power goes out or brought me one and he got us ice cream from the hospital no they're not from the house oh they're not going to go oh you bought it [Music] so i just dropped my car up at his house he's also working from home right now like this man is like killing it saving lives and saving cars you guys my mom's in like this women empowerment group and one of their assignments is to like dance and so i hear music coming from downstairs i want to go see what's up [Music] all right got a lot of work done and now i just changed into a t-shirt so i'm nice and comfy i'm about to spray on this dirty spray if you guys have been following me for a long time you know how much i love this stuff i don't talk about it as much anymore but i still use it this is from lush and it's called dirty body spray i discovered this in high school it became my known scent people would say danielle there's this thing you smell like and i would show them this and they'd say it was me like i'd walk by people and they said it's just like you smell it so it's described as a sophisticated invigorating body spray that smells of spearmint and tarragon basically the goal of this spray is to smell like you just got out of the shower so i bring this to my high school pe class we just it's like it didn't have time to shower whatever kind of gross but i'd spray this on and it smells so good so refreshing people are always like what is that because it's just it literally just smells like you took a shower like it's so refreshing dinner has been served i heard we're having blt's which i'm really excited about and sweet potato fries the calm before the storm it seriously is coming in i swear this looks absolutely magical and then we got the fries in need of a lacroix i love drinking like a sparkling water around dinner time just soothes me after a long day cheers we just got word that the storm has been upgraded to a hurricane again just category one but it's so weird out right now finley is so confused what's going on right now but he does so well in the storms which is great miley used to get really scared of thunder and so we were expecting finley to kind of just be the same and he's a champ he doesn't even flinch at the sound of thunder so he's gonna be good tonight now we are finally unpacking for miami these are the clothes i tried on from princess paulie earlier i just need to put them in my closet now yay but i need to unpack from miami and probably need to go through my closet and organize it because when new things come in we have to make sure it's nice and organized and ready so i'm probably gonna put a good old tv show on i'm watching cruel summer on hulu what else am i watching a couple more episodes with the bold type on hulu shit's creek always i'm just gonna put something on while i kind of go through this [Music] all right just made some sleepy time tea the storm is coming on in we've got our hurricane shutters down in preparation so i guess that's that still working on unpacking drinking my sleepy time tea then i'm gonna get in bed and read and go to bed so i'll see you guys in the morning everybody so it seems that our power's still on let's go see what the storm did if anything hello good morning oh do the wiggles do the wiggle thank you for the morning hubs all right we're braving it just so i can show you guys what's going on out here i feel like one of those weather men yeah sally it's raging winds out here pool is really high but everything looks like it stayed right

much fun it put me in the best mood it woke me up victoria was so sweet she said she's been watching me on youtube since the preppy days which is insane that means she's been around for a while and it

continued protection [Music] um ginger shot delivery no we do not chase we know i can't oh yeah you can chase it we just put all the patio furniture back out us two girls girl power and it's still definitely really windy but obviously the storm is headed up north or i think it weakened obviously all right we are gonna look at today's quote i always i literally always look at what the quote is on camera so i really don't know what i'm getting never apologize for being you ah what a great message i always like love the quotes i'm like wait i picked these out but it's just so funny alrighty all the computer work is done for the day so that means my mom and i are gonna go to nordstrom rack i'm excited why not it's something to do she has like a gift card and has to i don't really know i don't really know where i'm going but i'm going i don't need anything here's my little outfit i'm really digging it it's so comfortable but it's so chic at the same time um both items are from princess polly these are the baggy asymmetrical jeans that i just got so they're amazing again use code caroline 20 off this i've had forever it's from princess polish it's like a boxy tee it's so cute but it's like perfectly cropped daily jewels i'm not wearing air force ones what is going on um these are my new all saints sneakers i'll link them below for you guys they are also platform not as platform as the nike air forces but this is my first time wearing them i just want to see how i feel they're really comfy so far they're just good if i don't want to always be wearing the nike one pull out my balenciaga bag for the day claw clip as always no makeup let's do this one of us has to change i know i've never even been all black this is crazy going to drop some donations off at the thrift store in the nordstrom baby and some cops and tags all right so i'm hungry she's hungry we're gonna stop and get a couple tacos or some guac at our favorite little restaurant i literally get my burrito bowls there all the time so we're gonna go but i'm not like hungry enough to get a burrito bowl i don't think i could change my mind in two minutes knowing me but a couple tacos sounds like we got tacos and lots of chips i wanted queso we'll bring whatever back that we don't finish be good snack does anyone else's mom take forever to do everything she's like are you offended no i'm me i'm trying to consider and i think i know she was literally in walgreens getting samples of products you guys working with the lady to like i don't know what was she giving you samples of miniatures of the bigger tinted sunscreen that i bought which is awesome because it's like you're at a department store she was so helpful and then there was other things i needed and she walked me around the store to show me where they were meanwhile i'm like outside thinking she's checking out that's funny but it's funny i i'm glad i didn't stay in the car i got some good finds i wasn't even gonna buy anything i got a new wet brush because i've been using mine for probably over a year and a lot of my friends have this one it's the go green one it's eco-friendly and i don't know it just looks like it's going to be really nice to my hair a nice little i love walgreens and cvs socks weird fact but i like how they're not super thick so if you're wearing sneakers they don't like bunch up at the ankle and then i've heard really good things about the biology shampoo and conditioner right now i'm switching off between hair food shampoo and conditioner olaf black shampoo conditioner and then purple shampoo but apparently it's good to switch up your shampoo and conditioner that's what i've heard so i'm going to change these into the rotation when i'm done with the hair food because i always use purple shampoo and i always use olaplex but it's like every third wash i use just normal shampoo conditioner so this is the violage color last line they're pretty expensive they're like 20 each but i've heard really really good things there's no parabens in them it's orchid scented and it's it's nice shampoo so i switched around because i just used it she just yeah so this is a haul for you too because i fun fact i don't have my own bathroom at home headed to nordstrom rack she needs like a birthday gift or something yes and maybe an another a new luggage oh yes a new suitcase that could be fun i'm going on a girls trip girls trip that'll be really fun and i just think nordstrom rack is so fun i wish like they have they have lots of really great home stuff but i won't buy anything i just like looking at what they have this girl has a list for nordstrom rack not groceries a list for nordstrom wait why are these all so adorable i cannot wait to shop for my apartment but it makes no sense to do it here like this is so cute a little scrub the barefoot dreams blankets wow this is a dream these are the yeah they're such good prices here okay i actually do need candles like i literally don't have any i have one more in my room at home and i love burning them so i'm gonna smell some all right doing a little nordstrom rack haul i got two candles because i forgot that my capri blue candle is actually done i love this sentence the volcano scent and then i all i have left is this little wood wick i saw this and it looks like a capri blue candle so i was like i wonder if it smells like it indeed it smells exactly like a capri blue candle it's called if you go to nordstrom rock you need this i will link it down below for you guys it's the tangerine guava candle from loft number seven it's huge compared to like the normal size compared to the normal size cabrini blue this was 24 this was probably either 25 or it could have been 40 honestly and this is so much bigger arguably double the size and i got a 10 foot um phone charger and then i got this candle which is also pretty big and it's called rosewood vanilla it really just smells like rose and i love the

UeeS_bKVXlo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeeS_bKVXlo | The Complete Movie - Destiny 2: Season of Defiance (All Cutscenes, Dialogue, Story Gameplay, Misc) | may this transmission reach you wherever you find yourself the scepter will rest true in the hands of its wielder but a message comes with no such guarantee in the aftermath of the witnesses attack the Vanguard called for Aid on behalf of the awoken people I answered we now face a war on two fronts one on the far reaches of the system and the other at your home Earth continue your fight against the voice in the darkness I will assist as best I can in your absence but even my Powers have their limits return when you are able your people need their Heroes [Music] hello Guardian good to see you again wish it were under better circumstances I don't believe we've met devram k velasque I'll ask I am beastrax girl of the House of light I'd heard the Vanguard had Elixir allies in the city good to have you here yes many have come to the Vanguard seat Laura Kell is using her light to protect us kill there is no need for honorifics and my power is not of the light afraid we must cut the pleasantries short in the aftermath of the attack on the traveler the shadow Legion has begun taking captives to the pyramids Amanda holidays and we cannot reach her on any frequency holiday is out there of that I'm certain I'll continue scanning the comms knowing her she's up to something the only question is what precisely give me a moment to prepare the LZ and I'll brief you until then together we will save the captives and Amanda the light provides you will need more than the light to stand against the witness but I can provide now go and I will focus on the battles to come all right Guardian I'll keep it brief the witness took a swing at the traveler and when we tried to intervene our Pilots went down Amanda holiday among them the survivors what there were of them went to ground near trossland and old Russia now the Damned Shadow Legion is picking through the wreckage and capturing prisoners we're running rescue Ops in the EDC now Crow has gone ahead to scout the defenses he's reporting that pyramid Outpost is utterly impenetrable fortunately the queen is on our side Mara is imbuing you with otherworldly power awoken Magics and all that I'm not sure how it works myself but if she believes you can make it through I'm not about to disagree I'm glad you're here Guardian I'll see you in the field emergency transmission this is Amanda holiday my ship was disabled during combat and I was forced down in the EDC while I was waiting for Evac I saw a shadow Legion Patrol leading a group of captives to a pyramid I'm sneaking into the facility with the prisoners I'll bring my comms along as a beacon whoever hears this tell the guardian to gear up and follow my signal I'll be waiting a paid emergency transmission this is Amanda holiday does anyone read me there she is I'm so glad to hear your voice hey Debra good to hear you too I was starting to worry I'd snuck in here for nothing quite clever of you a bit risky though can't say I condone it risky ain't you the fella who once ran a cabal blockade just for fresh eggs guilty as charged just hold tight my dear reinforcements are on their way we're in the facility are you Amanda I'm in the cell block with the Prisoners the guardian can follow my calm signal right to us they've hit a bit of a roadblock at the moment but fear not they're on route we will breach the pyramid not through its walls but through the very fabric of reality harness my power and enter the ascendant plane [Music] I must admit I had several good ideas for this jailbreak but traversing an alternate reality was not among them Guardians doing what now I swear the longer I know y'all the stranger things get Strangers still now that the witness has arrived taken blight and summon a bail fire in its place it will consecrate this place and drive the darkness out before it Guardian you got base security chasing their tails looks like they're deploying some heavy Firepower to stop you though there's something up ahead it's bringing back a memory or aldrin's memory I guess a familiar voice be careful Guardian banish these taken defilers they are but empty shells filled with the desires of a greater will trust in your light and they cannot stop you I tested the perimeter of that pyramid for hours but couldn't find any entry points and now the guardian just walks in it depends on one's point of view the walls of the prison may be impenetrable but the walls between worlds are not you never did have much respect for boundaries did you I see you on my radar Guardian the prison cell should be just ahead the head guard's a real piece of work though so watch yourself extraction confirmed the hostages are on their way back to the farm good work everyone Guardian my ship's nearby but she took a beating I could use your help getting her out of here foreign thanks for your help back there just need to clear out this ow [Music] nice shot right through the heart thanks sorry we thought you were Shadow Legion easy mistake I'm just so beefy you're leaving again don't you ever slow down nope not when there's work to be done Amanda [Music] when your ship I thought I might never see you again no time for that kind of talk I'm here now let's get moving [Music] foreign I sensed your Triumph through the choke of the pyramid suppression with the scepter in hand you were able to move through the depths of the ascendant plane it is as I hoped your light sings with the incantations I send forth strengthening you in ways not seen since the seven paladins since the Queen's guard powerful as I am I cannot be everywhere at once but the Guardians can so I entrust you with my favor take it breach the ascendant plane walk the Ley Lines within and banish those who would oppose you I do not ask for fealty in return I would not kneel in your place as favor with condition remains a shackle no claim this power freely as your strength serves my kingdom and your own let it flow through you Queen's guard and I shall Knight you myself [Music] when the last city called for Aid I pledged the awoken to the cause without hesitation the Vanguard has helped my people many times in the past but what you face now is no simple endless curse or vengeful god king we awoken were first struck when we came between the traveler and its Hunter and I chose my people above either one the choice has come again and my answer is no different I do not blindly defend the light and I do not listen to The Voice in the Darkness instead I choose that which holds light and dark together in hands and heart I Choose You now humans exos cousins all detach fall forward number among the first awaken as Queen's God [Music] foreign [Music] Amanda I need to talk to you what before it's too late yes Crow don't I thought I'd lost you don't talk to me like that [Music] look I know you're sorry I know it wasn't really you I want to forgive you I really do I I'm trying to pull Crow and Aldrin save apart I tried to and it wasn't right I wish I could see you another way but I don't I can't not yet tell me what to do and I'll do it it's not like that I know it ain't fair to you and maybe I'll feel different someday but not now I understand there's tough times ahead of us we gotta work together it's like y'all's ghosts always say eyes up Guardian are you deceiving me Guardian this is misrex there is a great conflux of vexed energies near your location are you able to investigate [Music] it's open to you you did not splice your way inside how is this possible you went to the digitized core of the Vex Network you are in great danger again detective within masking no demanding that you explode further signal comes from the radial area flowing around us truly through the entire Vex Network itself it's not a voice only minute fluctuations in a radiolarian micro lattice if it speaks again I will attempt to translate foreign thank you the Hostile of excellent Network itself Arts this is most unusual they should be in perfect alignment a single that beckons you if I am interpreting it correctly it calls out for assistance no that is incorrect the signal is unclear but quite persistent the network will tear you apart foreign but there is also incredible pain suffering deeper than I thought possible we should do all we can to help tread carefully across the shifting Network Guardian a powerful Vex mind looks ahead a terrible Destroyer created to purge the system signal Heights itself away in the network but you must prepare to fight foreign [Music] draws near [Music] foreign hey Guardian I've been meaning to thank you for busting us all out of prison earlier I heard you came back from Neptune just to help us out near enough to make a girl tear up you want to know what really got to me at the farm I heard some of the folks I was locked up with asking when they could get back out and look for more survivors I mean I expect it from guardians and the other Pilots but these were civvies just folks who got caught up in the shadow Legion sweep I still wanted to help I asked mythrax to talk some sense into him but he Shrugged like three of his arms and said the witness created Heroes instead of victims ah I couldn't have said it better myself anyway Shadow legion's been cited in the cosmodrome probably trying to pick up new prisoners come on let's go be heroes [Music] this is the first time the cabal have deployed in the cosmodrome since kaido went after the hive I wonder what changed we must not assume that strategies are tactics they do not fight for Honor Or Glory they fight only for the witness I thought the cosmodrome was dreary enough but compared to this it looks positively cheerful that's saying a lot for someone who hangs out of the edz oh I don't know Jocelyn has a certain old world charm to it we need to get you out more devram after all this is over how about I take you for a joyride we'll see the sides good idea I'll bring Mark we'll make a double date I never thought I'd see the inside of a pyramid much less as a prisoner but when I was inside I felt calm maybe I've been flying around with my hair on fire for too long the path for Discovery is filled with peril this is a sign of Bravery oh I don't know about that I still get plenty scared just not by Danger it's an ambush how did they locate our portal so quickly hardly matters now people look out for traps and push through Guardian looks like the guardian's back outside did you pull them out Queen Maura I did not this was the will of the Defenders that ain't good must have been one of their Scions those little guys are sharp this setback is auspicious the stronger the defense here the weaker the attack on Neptune get to those bail fires they're the key to turning this fight targets are taking a leadership and return their Essences to the bail fires I think I preferred fighting goal did you find Alice's Shadow Legion to be a more formidable enemy too early to say but I understood the Reds look one of gaul's soldiers in the eyes you'd at least see a soul behind them [Music] hello Guardian though I suppose I should hail you as a fellow Queen's guard now when Mara performed her ritual she knighted all of us with and without the light you light bearers are the only ones who can draw on her power of course but for the rest of us like Ms holiday and Mr mithrax it's nice to be included sir devram k queensguard hmm quite like the sun that I think when the witness did whatever it did to The Traveler it sought to destroy our hope at the source that didn't happen humans and elix name officers and civilians we banded together stronger than before that's what our enemies don't understand when things are at their worst that's when we are at our best I'm looking forward to the battles ahead [Music] I had heard of you before our first meeting oh good things I hope [Music] you were feared as well if my reputation is for keeping the people of the EDC safe then I don't regret it but I hope we can work alongside one another now we have one life and our lives are not for us alone mine is for my daughter and my house yours is for your partner and your people are we share much outside the city we can't always depend on the Guardians and The Traveler uh has been somewhat inscrutable I once believed that the great machine had brought the light to race and to the Guardians because they were worthy of it then I I questioned this understanding my belief became Hollow I felt a great loss but I have found new purpose there is worth in our actions and in our spirit it is in how we use our one life we must let that be our light our people protect one another and do what they must to ensure their safety now we can do so for each other human and elixir yes I do not know the great machines will let the light provides it does Guardian we've received Intel that barca-san is supplying weapons to the shadow Legion a Scions have already attempted their onslaught of Zan's base but I miscalculated the strength of this operation you miscalculated yes do you have uh the questions right let's get them free it seems this new Zan has done some redecorating although I don't think I can call this an upgrade in terms of taste but perhaps the Cannons could be of use earlier I informed the empress we had already dealt with Zan or at least I thought we had but he's returned somehow names hold power it is not unlikely this new Zahn is a successor who has taken up the mantle regardless he must be stopped thank you Guardian I've instructed the Scions to Aid you free the others and you will have a formidable team to face Broca's son we'll take all the help we can get well thought Guardian cut another head off the proverbial Hydra Hydra have but one head defram um yes Vex Hydra do there's an old Earth mythological creature that never mind you would do well to leave your hindsight to better understand our enemies I'll do that ah Guardian ghost lovely to see you at my doorstep again devrin we have a taken infestation I'd very much appreciate your help with how bad is this infestation you'll see soon enough all right that's a lot of blight it certainly is we're trying something new courtesy of our cabal allies using pyramid Tech precisely protect that device and it'll clear out the blight and how much has this been tested it's being tested right now by you of course it's actually working see nothing to worry about I mirror a head when you kick a hornet's nest surely one of them is bound to be a bit bigger than the rest and fleshy with tentacles debram have you seen a hornet recently all right well out it goes and that's the last of them Guardian you have my thanks especially for continuing to keep the edz safe amongst all the hubbub going on so far from home is where the taken are eh hail Queen's God I felt you reaching out you shine as a beacon of ascendant power maintaining my connection is demanding but by observing your astral wake I am discovering ways through the Ley lines that have never been shot in before As you move through the ascendant plane you consecrate it on a pericosal level its Waters Fray and yield to your touch the corruption within Withers as you approach for someone of your ability One Step through that Darkness can equal a thousand on this plane ten thousand ten million a shadow Legion prison ship drifts above us amidst the Stars far beyond our range or so they believe come to me and I shall open a path show them nothing is outside your reach the newest shadow in orbit that's too hard to drop even for me distance is no obstacle for one traversing the ascendant plane show them Guardian I feel real lucky to know y'all who else would show me these other realities quite right even now there's people in the outskirts who think the material plane is the only one sometimes I envy them yeah sometimes ignorance is bliss especially when it comes to the taken taken I've been dealing with them in the EDC for years only one way to be rid of them burn away the corruption with the power of your light I've never seen anyone get that high up without a ship before helped the guardian doesn't get vertigo the thoughts of jumping those chasms puts me right off my Belfry is plenty high enough thank you didn't she used to be a paratrooper Devon I was and I'm not keen to repeat the experience no ghosts can spice the local security system but he will require your protection some of the response forces might have Intel to speed up the hack keep your eyes open Scouts report increased activity in the hangar perhaps they're trying to evacuate the captives more likely they're falling back to an area with air support so what I would do you Pilots are all the same air support is your answer to everything damn right otherwise we wouldn't have any infantry left to buy us drinks towards you ignite the veil fires to dispel their Darkness a recall order just went out to nearby ships so keep an eye open for Airborne reinforcements [Music] if you ever take a step back and think how did I end up fighting an ancient evil um not often this fight has been going on for long before we came along it's just our turn you never did meet a friendly face you wouldn't stick your neck out for and Mark would hate us if I let anything happen to the Peregrine opera house no way around it then guess we better save the day hey guardian we were just grabbing a little down time gotta celebrate your successes you know and that told me we must not forget you kick it back oh we have accomplished much and saved many lies that's right there's no I in team but there is an A and an m please don't tell folks I said that but yeah we're a team any door I can't hack open you splice through we are in this together [Music] you and the Vanguard welcomed us as honored guests in your city guests the city is your home when I first showed up at the gates I felt like I belonged that's how it should be for everyone I thought no I got there later same as you Amanda you know our story but [Music] I grew up on the road long as I could remember my family had been walking toward the last City my mama told me we'd be safe there said that was all that mattered but at the time all that mattered to me were the jump ships in the sky above I thought they were the greatest thing I'd ever seen [Music] my folks tried their best but the road's a dangerous place and the house of winter attacked my mama fought him off best she could even killed a captain before they shot her pneumonia got my daddy and not long after I'd heard Tales of people Resurrected chosen for immortality and not them they were just gone when I finally reached the last City I knew my mama was right be safe there I was finally home [Music] I learned to fly as soon as I could reach the stick I never had powers like the guardians or a ghost to resurrect me but in the cockpit come every inch is tough now every time I fly I remember where I came from and who I'm fighting for [Music] and that's all that matters [Music] when was the last time you can remember we were at peace thank you Amanda for your story and your spirit yeah well we've come a long way huh yes we have hell of a time on that shadow Legion ship wouldn't it of course I joined for other reasons too when you heard the story I needed a home a family some place to belong just like mythrax he's amazing to work with he's always so gentle around the tower I forget he's an Elixir War Captain but man I learned quick when we started tackling those prison transports and once he got jumped by two legionaries and when I turned to help he just shouted you need not waste your shells man he's a tough old bastard and I absolutely love it bringing the fight to them for a change that's the kind of thing I joined the Vanguard for he's the best Patrol partner I've had in years but I gotta keep our comms closed last week to everyone heard me call him crawdaddy nearly laughed himself unconscious [Music] girls I have nothing to say to you I spared your life that you used it to return to your hate and violence I will not thank you for your mercy or ask for your forgiveness but I am not your enemy you spoke this way before I don't know not too so now I saved your daughter's life I know she is the future of the elixir the machine spawn will never allow us that future again and again they cut us down when we seek to unify our houses when we seek power for ourselves they will never see you as they equal do you believe that we are because we are the leaders of our people and we must find power when we can you did the same when you chose to live amongst those who have slaughtered us for centuries I have entered that violence it has not ended you just live behind our enemies walls your house relies on Hope as much as mine does I want us to be free to be gentle and care for each other I want us to be Weavers and dancers again is why you did not kill me because you want this as well but until we control our own future The Elixir will never be these things again just gonna take [Music] this real signal from earlier has resumed it has been awaiting your return it says the weapon it offered will give you increased access but the path remains treacherous trust your weapons and your wits May the light provide foreign the Vex encounter a variable whose Behavior intrigues them cannot be simulated or predicted its actions are at times fiercely irrational the variable draws close it becomes part of the equation it demands quadratic reciprocity and then there is total effects the variable is no more were these obstacles placed by the mysterious signal or as a response to its intrusion I can sense Furious activity from the signal it does not speak but turns its attentions inward it is not attacking the network but digging within it decrypting you capturingivex's attention seems to be a great help [Music] the signal thanks you is to reclaimed data and draws it deep into a secure corner of the network to Delight in study and says I should stop bothering it the voice is Vex in origin which contains an echo of humanity might even sense traces of the light there are logs in the Deep networks about such anomalies but I never dared imagine I would encounter one all there is much we can learn from it a massive encrypted data I will try to make sense of that please appear to be notes compiled after countless simulations a hypothesizing on the true nature of the pyramids ah this this is a schematic for a receiver that could override a Vex Harvey you are personal messages letters composed but unable to be sent but there are there are names here and yours is among them I've seen Gallant ah they must be icora and Eris who is voodoo sailor I'm a single abruptly revoked by access ah regrettable thank you the signal or a burst of irritability a garden art is no simple signal it is the Great designation means nothing to me are you someone from your many travels perhaps be cautious the next mind refines improves and reforms foreign I won't say we got the shadow Legion on the ropes just yet but we're making progress I meant to ask how are you handling all this Queen's guard stuff only thing that's changed for me is that Crow bowed and asked if he should call me lady Amanda of holiday I told him to call me whatever he wants I'm just glad he's finally recognizing my natural Authority anyway I like how things have been shaking out lately tearing through magic planes to bust into a shadow Legion ship uninvited that's the kind of entrance Cade would elect enough talk let's get back out there Guardian I'm glad I caught you mythrax and Amanda are out on patrol and called for a touch of backup seems they picked up another distress signal and The Outpost is absolutely crawling with Shadow Legion I was surprised they called it in makes me think the odds are worse than they're letting on usually those two can take care of themselves I'm sending you this signal now head over and back them up won't you [Music] our scanners picked up a distress signal coming from a prison facility in the EDC we reckon it's a new bunch of captives mythrax and I are fixing to break them out I can splice the base security but we will need a route for escape that's where you come in Guardian clear all opposition that we may lead the prisoners to safety and do not engage your Sparrow the signal will alert our enemies everyone's solid then let's go get our people back [Music] foreign kick down their front door while we slip in the back we'll meet you inside these rocks my muscles speak with haste turn back now this is not a fight you can win you cannot share fear with our ceramus for the night provides leave these captives and live to see your great machine again pursue this Quest and you will die mythrax the ships but she does not speak lies perhaps there is something here we do not yet see there's always something I'm not leaving our people behind no matter what and I am with you [Music] think I found us an LZ Guardian we're going in through the roof this was not the plan I'm at the holiday are you searching the ship will fit the only one way to find out that's why I hated when I did things like this no I see why and we're in next round's on you myth Rex Amanda and I will now locate the security terminal deal with those armored units and we'll meet you on the other side I see you Guardian I'm in the surveillance room above placing the security network now soon locate the captives oh boy taking energy readings are spiking looks like you ain't done yet this is a tactic of desperation Guardian glad we called you in for this one we'd have been goners without you I have located the prisoners we are nearly ready for extraction gotcha as soon as the guardian secures the hatch we'll get everyone the hell out of here I'm here in position s come with me quickly it's gone into lockdown [Music] tracked I'm on it [Music] come on go now you're through ah my heart sleeps outside safe that's all that matters [Music] thank you I want you [Music] where's Amanda Amanda coming Amanda devotion bravery sacrifice devotion bravery sacrifice Guardian Zavala Grieves and mesrax is recovering in the Infirmary how do you want to proceed we have to regroup bury Amanda put her killers in the ground they'll be expecting you good think with your head not your heart grief is poor counsel yours is better make arrangements for Amanda the guardian and I will handle it from here if that's your wish it is I know you want it too Vengeance you'll be the first to know when it's time I have lived for centuries upon centuries Guardian though death has not lost its sting it is a ritual whose movements are familiar to me [Music] to bear seeing loss twist the faces of those around me Zavala my brother that is not Amanda's absence will be felt deeply by those of us who knew her despair will be at our side where a friend once done so while it does not lighten the burden let us hold this pain together and when you lift your eyes you look only upon kind faces I need to focus on the Queen's guard now when the time comes to strike back we must all be strong as Amanda holiday and rules far more would have died Amanda knew this as did you you were not her protector I know that this is true but this loss it is Kelvin you dishonor holiday's memory rhyming no dishonor she sacrificed herself so that I could live it is a great guilt her death was no sacrifice holiday died for her own convictions not ours Amanda could not be counseled otherwise nor would she have been this was her choice and we must remember it with respect her death rings they feel her loss greatly holiday did not die for your grief the empress is indelicate that is her grief and this is mine As Leaders we feel lost too often I will not tell you not to mourn where your sorrow means racks but set aside your guilt let her memory inspire let her conviction light our way well said Queen of the awoken cabal carved our tusks with our victories and they are recounted at our funeral rights holidays victories will be remembered always my first Dawn and I didn't know anyone in the city I was just a little kid but Kade brought me up to the tower to hang out with the Guardians it was the first time I felt home here the best network reforms its defenses it protects knowledge earned through endless simulations must work together once more attacking the leap inside and out The Works cannot stand against you both identity consumed by radiolaria would find themselves converted into raw resources their cells would be Rewritten by the vex but not even that fate would explain ashramir's ability to exist within the network itself foreign such as yourself every match you destroy gives ashimir more time might Marvel at the tenacity of a rogue signal to retain a distinct identity even when consumed by the vex this actually it must have been the greatest of Warriors and the most distinguished of Mines the most beautiful of Souls Asheville confirms that indeed it was examining the reclaimed data is the life it says the conclusion awaits something a lake my apologies this this must be a metaphor oh Mastermind assures me it is not a metaphor more words than within the network urging caution as you ascend this inscrutable nostril forgive me Daddy and I cannot interpret these messages as clearly as I thought Guardian I despair somewhere among the Vex radial area is a brilliant consciousness how does one rescue a single drop from an Endless Sea this is defeats last through all simulations your foes like slain come join us what I don't know how to ashramir does not desire rescue only access and it will use the data you recovered to open a path to the deepest core of the Nexus there it will immerse itself in infinite knowledge it seeks to become one with the truth great gentle voice you will lose yourself and the answers Beyond ashramir will be no more it responds to my warning and calls me up over an anatomical creatures it says ashramir will not become the truth the truth will become burnished into the network I no longer feel its presence May the light guide you on your journey Brave One which was an honor to know you what is this Andrew's research confirmed the existence of this fantastic object pyramids examined the vex the vaccine turn and served the pyramids and basmia studied both but the power of causal cannot be predicted did assemiah perform these simulations manually for one mortal intelligence to create this would be impossible this is why ashrami emerged with the Vex they study demanded its sacrifice everything we must not forget what we have been shown Guardian I woke up this morning and looked out across the gray Mists of trustland and I've got to tell you my heart just wasn't in it I didn't want Justice or Revenge it wouldn't bring her back you felt tired I didn't want to fight anymore but then out in the distance I spotted a deployment of Shadow Legion moving through the fog pushing a group of prisoners before them it's not about me it's about them so I picked up my rifle and I got to work we've got to fight on not just because we're in the Vanguard or Queen's guard or because we're heroes are all that rot because it's what Amanda would have done that's good enough for me my Hunters are tracking the orbital path of the Shadow Legion prison ship should be overhead soon you have mastered the intricacies of my power Guardian this Ascent is yours alone to make pains me to remember Amanda I would give much to tear the shadow Legion Fleet from the sky I sympathize but we can't risk the few resources we have our first responsibility is to the captives still up there I'm saddened to see such strategies for our enemies but not surprised this is the way of the darkness an oversimplification many atrocities were committed by the Light bearers of old just as well it is the wielder not the tool that determines its use just look to the awoken we use light and darkness in equal measure and we have always found our way well not always we've all died countless deaths but we still only feel lost from the outside in holiday she died doing what was necessary to protect the people of the city he didn't do it out of obligation or circumstance she knew it had to be done and she believed in it to the end she had one life and she used it to save us she set an example for us all I don't know what else to say [Music] Amanda I would give my light my last life if it would bring her back I've begged before it's a false hope a lie that every loss The Traveler is silent each path I take leads me to a grave keyed Sophia Hakeem I feel them all I love you Amanda I am so proud of you forgive me foreign words and remain unmoved that man has borne suffering enough for many lifetimes that is the price we pay for opening our hearts and as the voice in the darkness extends its reach we know only that few will finish this journey with us for the path is long as the nebulae world and Billow above us we remain we endure this is our privilege our duty and our curse take Heart Guard him know that we will endure together [Music] Crow what do you want I wish to speak with you I don't have time for this or for you we've all lost someone dear to us you mean me you don't show it I wanted to but I held my heart so closely that I smothered it I don't want to see you do the same you don't know me stop talking like you do I know how we grieve it is raw and violent I know we believe that keeping others away from it will protect them but we don't do it to protect them we do it to protect ourselves we do it because it is easy nothing about this is easy then tell me who she was she was she was a sunrise grieve it setting do not turn your grief to armor let us spare you through it I'll try I know you will bickering is a point we need to cut through the noise Mara and I have been talking and we came to the same conclusion it's time to act the witness sees our connection to each other as a weakness to exploit it's counting on us not risking more lives in another attack but if Amanda were here I think she'd tell us it's time to play some offense Mara is focusing all her energy directly through you Guardian we need you to blaze through the ascendant plane one last time but it won't be without backup we're all going Mara says your power is strong enough to sweep us up in your astral wake when you come out on the shadow Legion flagship

Traverse it at will we are poised for a victory it is time to strike the shadow Legion Flagship is a stain on your sky and destroy it and find joy in its destruction [Music] we will travel the ascendant plane by Mara Kells Grace and Aid you in your attack you'll follow your lead get inside that ship and we'll all take it down together never fear Guardian will be your support as you find a path to the ship's engine go find your retribution deliver justice as Queen's God in all my years fighting back the taken I never thought I'd set foot in the ascendant plane oracle's power is considerable but it is not boundless we must use this opportunity wisely that's right we have our breach points make this count find a way through that Guardian Crow mythrax and I will bring down the shadow Legions commanders one by one I'm going to enjoy this likewise mythrax I am ready to cut them down we will break their ship and watch it fall from the sky [Music] remember what they took from

them in my sights don't worry Guardian we've got things handled on our end accept my power guardian and tear down their defenses with your light those cooling fans are the only thing stopping the engine from going critical you'll have to destroy those generators first earlier I took out the legionary with the biggest helmet and to be their leader they're headless now so to speak you're clear to bring down those engineers then that engine is all yours destroy the engine and take down this ship Morocco will bring us back safely complete your mission Guardian and have a little fun with it oh no there are many battles to come but we have this Victory today every civilian in the EDC can see what we've done they know we're keeping them safe from whatever the witness wants with them well done Guardian you too lads we made quite the team up there we made the shadow Legion hurt we showed them that we can Strike Back in this we honor Amanda's memory you did it Guardian and thanks for taking us along for the ride felt good to get a few shots in you make one hell of a queen's guard wish it didn't have to end but Mara won't be able to channel her energy out forever she deny it but she's getting tired even if the power of the awoken fades you'll always have their gratitude at Mars and mine there are still pockets of prisoners out there Deborah and mizrax will keep running rescue efforts as long as it takes I'll be here too we can't protect everyone but helping who we can there's nothing more important than that see you around Guardian holiday I know the traveler won't bring

ifOXJXFEYvM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifOXJXFEYvM | Pakistani Hindu Teacher Sentenced To Life In Prison For Blasphemy | pakistani hindu teacher sentenced to life in prison for blasphemy on february 8 naoton lal a hindu college teacher in the sindh province of southern pakistan received a life sentence for blasphemy the court order also included a fine of 50 000 rupees or close to 300 usd he has been in jail for more than two years since arrest his arrest in september 2019 after his request for bail was denied twice a video of a secondary level student claiming that he saw the teacher commit blasphemy against the prophet muhammad had gone viral after watching the video jamaat uh jamaat e alei sunat a muslim religious organization in pakistan and mufti abdul karim a local cleric filed a report against him local muslim groups pressured the court to impose a life sentence for lol lol's cousin told radio free europe that other than the one student's claims there was no other eyewitness account what so you could just settle scores or just like hey you got a bad grade you could just accuse your teacher of blasphemy and that's about it and then they're getting sentenced to life in prison they know okay it's ridiculous we've been knowing this armin yes i'm i refuse not to get shocked by this okay people are like oh this is pakistan why are you shocked i will be shocked every time every goddamn time you just a student can just come and be like oh i saw him do blasphemy and now he's sentenced like with nothing else and now he's sentenced to prison you know the levit the levels of absurdity is crazy because us like we're atheists okay and we're very much against blasphemy laws but even us we're like looking at like where's the evidence as if if as if there was like this is the new standard that we like that even us are like getting being forced to submit to because when every time we're like oh he's like for in jail for no with no evidence for blasphemy we're all we're almost suggesting as if if there was evidence for blasphemy like this would be better okay yeah but i mean but we cannot not i mean it's ridiculous that we're even looking for evidence but it is more absurd that no evidence is needed like i don't i don't think like we're it's too outrageous for us to be like point out that there is no evidence like you could just randomly come and be like like every single hand every single non-muslim in pakistan every single non-sunni muslim in pakistan it's just a sitting duck just waiting for a accusation you're you're you could be eliminated by any random sunni man just why we're like i saw him do blasphemy okay you better not lend anybody any money if you're a goddamn teacher you better give everybody a's or whatever they give in pakistan just make sure you're like submit to everybody and every time at all time and you're 100 percent polite and make sure you don't look at anybody the wrong way make sure you don't piss off anybody because all they have to do like i saw him do blasphemy and your entire life is ruined this guy got sentenced like he went through the process like it's now like this is official he's got sentence there there's still the opportunity for appeal and so he's legal oh great he's going to try to appeal it but he still received this sentence unbelievable so even if you don't get the sentence by the way guys let me tell you even if you don't get sentenced okay so way before the level of this guy your life is still ruined if you get the accusation right let's say for example they will come arrest you they will everything in your life would get beyond a pause okay and even if you don't get a sentence there will be mobs always believing that you did blasphemy okay it will get covered in the news people know where you live it's it's you you live in hell pakistan is like hell now it's like the closest thing to hell is you're under complete constant stress and for people who might say like why would they just leave leave where like you guys like people who are americans or europeans or canadians they they have these passports that lets them go anywhere they want and they don't understand that the rest of the world doesn't have that option okay the rest of the world doesn't have the mobility that you have with your first world passports okay so it's not like that they can't just leave you can't just go and live like oh i'm gonna live in this country now it's not that it's impossible for most people to just go leave and go to to another country and just stay there it's impossible um anyway sorry yeah i want to read a little bit more information from uh the hindustan times saying um so what's interesting is he actually owns this college that um he worked at and so the student made this claim and then um it this got to the local islamic clerics and then they filed a police report and then after the as the news spread a protest erupted in the town and a violent mob attacked the sacho assatram dam uh temple and damaged its isle i idols in uh go go go um the caretaker of the satra satram temple jayakumar later said that around 50 masked men had attacked the temple but some 500 muslims later came and guarded the temple the whole night um and i just think this is so crazy that there is basically no evidence um against him and that they denied him bail so many times besides just like this one student's claim and then the um it just went viral um but the authorities were under such pressure from the uh muslim community surrounding them that they basically had no other choice in many ways it may have been a more responsible thing to do to take him in given the pressure from the community and the fact that they attacked the temple they might have gone in to just go attack and kill him instead unfortunately is it just me or is armand frozen wait let me check oh wait a minute he's coming hello nixon is bad today sorry oh wait we accidentally talk off your screen share yeah i'll bring it back okay thank you um one thing else that i learned today was as i said this happened in sin province and um we a lot of times when we're talking about these kinds of news stories that come out of pakistan particularly in regards to violence against minorities and um forced conversions of uh minority community girls they're almost always happening in sin province and i kind of like had a hard time figuring out why that was well i learned today that the majority of pakistan's hindu minority actually um reside in sindh so i was like oh that makes so much more sense why we get so much news about the religious violence coming out of this province since this is where so much of the religious minority um is centered oh no he's frozen again oh my goodness hello you just keep speaking i'm figuring i'm don't worry about me just just keep speaking yeah don't worry okay sorry it's uh distracting i'll try um but uh yes that was the end of my commentary on this news do you have anything else you'd like to add no sorry about the technical issues i've had um i had connection issues but i think it should be fixed now in case every time i get disconnected like this just like don't just act like nothing is happening because like there's no traffic okay okay okay all right um anything in the live chat you want to highlight before we go to the next news ghost bunny is very pleased that for a second there were two armins [Laughter] thank you ghostbunny that's very sweet i appreciate that costume is saying i think poochie is chewing on the wires like my dog is chewing on the wi-fi cable oh actually they sometimes do that good this way this is why they can't be here when we go live in there atheist republic needs your help we've been the target of many legal attacks by hindu nationalists ever since our founder armand avabi blasphemed against hindu deities we have retained legal counsel to help us defend our access to our community in india we have started a fundraiser that will help us afford to tackle many legal issues including judicial harassment and censorship whatever you can contribute will go a long ways

librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org after dark by Wilkie Collins the professor's story of the yellow mask part ii chapter 3 before the servant could get to the priest's lodgings a visitor had applied there for admission and had been immediately received by father broco himself this favored guest was a little man very spruce lien neatly dressed and oppressively polite in his manner he bowed when he first sat down he bowed when he answered the usual inquiries about his health and he bowed for the third time when Father Rocco asked what had brought him from Florence rather an awkward business replied the little man recovering himself uneasily after his third bow the dressmaker named no Nina whom you placed under my wife's protection about a year ago what of her inquired the priest eagerly I regret to say she has left us with her child sister and they're very disagreeable dog that growls at everybody when did they go only yesterday I came here at once to tell you as you were so very particular in recommending us to take care of her it is not our fault that she has gone my wife was kindness itself to her and I always treated her like a duchess I bought dinner mats of her sister I even put up with the thieving and growling of the disagreeable dog where have they gone to have you found out that I have found out my application at the passport office that they have not left Florence but what particular part of the city they have removed - I have not yet had time to discover and pray why did they leave you in the first place naina is not a girl to do anything without a reason she must have had some cause for going away what was it the little man hesitated and made a fourth bow you remember your private instructions - my wife and myself when you first brought Manini to our house he said looking away rather uneasily while he spoke yes you were to watch her but to take care that she did not suspect you it was just possible at that time that she might try to get it back to Pisa without my knowing it and everything depended on her remaining at Florence I think now that I did wrong to distrust her but it was of the last importance to provide against all possibilities and to abstain from putting too much faith in my own good opinion of the girl for these reasons I certainly did instruct you to watch her privately so far you are quite right and I have nothing to complain of go on you remember resume the little man that the first consequence of our following your instructions was a discovery which we immediately communicated to you that she was secretly learning to write yes and I also remember sending you word not to show that you knew what she was doing but to wait and see if she turned her knowledge of writing to account and took or sent any letters to the post you informed me in your regular monthly report that she never did anything of the kind never until three days ago and then she was traced from her room in my house to the post office with a letter which he dropped into the box and the address of which you discovered before she took it from your house unfortunately I did not answer the little man reddening and looking askance at the priest as if he expected to receive a severe reprimand but father Roco said nothing he was thinking who could she have written to if death OBO why should she have waited for months and months after she had learned how to use her pen before sending him a letter if not to Fabio - what other person could she have written I regret not discovering the address regretted most deeply said the little man with a low bow of apology it is too late for regret said father Roco coldly tell me how she came to leave your I have not heard that yet be as brief as you can I expect to be called every moment to the bedside of a near and dear relation who is suffering from a severe illness you shall have all my attention but you must ask it for a shorter time as possible I will be brief miss itself in the first place you must know that I have or rather had an idle unscrupulous rascal of an apprentice in my business two priests pursed up his mouth contemptuously in the second place this same good-for-nothing fellow had the impertinence to fall in love with naina other Roco started and listened eagerly but I must do the girl the justice to say that she never gave him the slightest encouragement and that whenever he ventured to speak to her she always quietly but very decidedly repelled him a good girl said bother Roco I have always said she was a good girl it was a mistake on my part ever to have distrusted her among the other offences continued the little man which I now find my scandal of an apprentice to have been guilty was the enormity of picking the lock of my desk and prying into my private papers you want not to have had any private papers should always be burned papers they shall be for the future I will take good care of that where any of my letters to you about naina among these private papers unfortunately they were pray pray excuse my want of caution this time it shall never happen again go on such imprudence as yours can never be excused it can only be provided against for the future I suppose the apprentice showed my letters to the girl high and for as much though why he should do so simpleton did you not say that he was in love with her as you term it and that he got no encouragement yes I said that and I know it to be true well was it not his interest being unable to make any impression on the girls fancy to establish some claim to her gratitude and try if he could not win her that way by showing her my letters he would make her indebted to him for knowing that she was watched in your house but this is not the matter in question now you say you infer that she had seen my letters on what grounds on the strength of this bit of paper answered the little man ruefully producing a note from his pocket she must have had your letter shown to her soon after putting her own letter into the post for on the evening of the same day when I went up into her room I found that she and her sister and the disagreeable dog had all gone and observed this note laid on the table father Roco took the note and read these lines I have just discovered that I have been watched and suspected ever since my stay under your roof it is impossible that I can remain another night in the house of a spy I go with my sister we owe you nothing and we are free to live honestly where we please if you see father OCO tell him that I can forgive his distrust of me but that I can never forget it I who had full faith in him had a right to expect that he should have full faith in me it was always an encouragement to me to think of him as a father and a friend I have lost that encouragement forever and it was the last I had left to me monena the priest rose from his seat as he handed the note back and the visitor immediately followed his example we must remedy this misfortune as best we may he said with a sigh are you ready to go back to Florence tomorrow the little man bowed again I note where she is and ascertain if she wants for anything and if she is living in a safe place say nothing about me and make no attempt to induce her to return to your house simply let me know what you discover the poor child has a spirit that no ordinary people would suspect in her she must be soothed and treated tenderly and we shall manage her yet no mistakes mind this time do just what I tell you and do no more have you anything else to say to me the little man shook his head and shrugged his shoulders good night then said the priest good night said the little man slipping through the door that was held open for him with Apple lightest alacrity this is Dex Asus said father Rocco taking a turn or two in the study after his visitor had gone it was bad to have done the child in injustice it is worse to have been found out there is nothing for it now but to wait I know where she is I like her and I like that don't she left behind her it is bravely delicately and honestly written a good girl a very good girl indeed he walked to the window breathed the fresh air for a few moments and quietly dismissed the subject from his mind when he returned to the table he had no thoughts for anyone but his sick niece it seemed strange he said that I have had no message about her yet perhaps Luca has heard something it may be well if I go to the studio at once to find out he took up his hat and went to the door just as he opened it Fabio's servant confronted him on the threshold I am sent to summon you to the palace said the man the doctors have given up all hope father Roco turned to deadly pale and drew back a step have you told my brother of this he asked I was just on my way to the studio answered the servant I will go there instead of you and break the bad news to him said the priest they descended the stairs in silence just as they were about to separate at the street door father Rocco stopped the servant how is the child he asked with a sudden eagerness and impatience that the man looked quite startled as he answered that the child was perfectly well there is some consolation in that said father OCO walking away and speaking partly to the servant partly to himself my caution has misled me he continued pausing thoughtfully when he was left alone in the roadway I should have risked using the mother's influence sooner to procure the righteous restitution all hope of compassing it now rests on the life of the child infant as she is her father's ill-gotten wealth may yet be gathered back to the church by her hands he proceeded rapidly on his way to the studio until he reached the Riverside and drew close to the bridge which it was necessary to cross in order to get to his brother's house here he stopped abruptly as if struck by a sudden idea the moon had just risen and her light streaming across the river they´ll full upon his face as he stood by the parapet wall that led up to the bridge he was so lost in thought that he did not hear the conversation of two ladies who were advancing along the pathway close behind him as they brushed by him the taller of the two turned round had looked back at his face father Roco exclaimed the lady stopping Donna bridge EDA cried the priest looking surprised at first but recovering himself directly and vowing with his usual quiet politeness pardon me if I thank you for honoring me by renewing our acquaintance and then pass on to my brother studio a heavy affliction is likely to befall us and I go to prepare him for it you refer to the dangerous illness of your niece said Regina I heard of it this evening let us hope that your fears are exaggerated and that we may yet meet under less distressing circumstances I have no present intention of leaving Pisa for some time and I shall always be glad to thank father Rocco for the politeness and consideration which he showed to me under delicate circumstances a year ago with these words she curtsied deferentially and moved away to rejoin her friend the priest observed that Mademoiselle Virginie lingered rather near as if anxious to catch a few words of the conversation between Brigitta and himself seeing this he in his turn listened as the two women slowly walked away together and heard the Italian say to her companion Virginie I will lay you the price of a new dress that fabio de scole e marries again father Rocco started when she said those words as if he had trodden on fire my thought he whispered nervously to himself my thought at the moment when she spoke to me marry again another wife over whom I should have no influence other children whose education would not be confided to me what would become then of the restitution that I have hoped for rot for parade for he stopped and looked fixedly at the sky above him the bridge was deserted his black figure rose up erect motionless and spectral with the white still light falling solemnly all around it standing so for some minutes his first movement was to drop his hand angrily on the parapet of the bridge he then turned round slowly in the direction by which the two women had walked away donna Brigido he said i will lay you the price of fifty new dresses that fabio de scole ii never marries again he said his face once more toward the studio and walked on without stopping until he arrived at the master sculptors door marry again he thought to himself as he rang the bell donna pujita was your first failure not enough for you are you going to try a second time Luca looming himself opened the door he drew father Roco hurriedly into the studio toward a single lamp burning on a stand near the partition between the two rooms have you heard anything of our poor child he asked tell me the truth tell me the truth at once hush compose yourself I have heard said father Roco in low mournful tones Luca tightened his hold on the priests arm and looked into his face with breathless speechless eagerness compose yourself repeated father oak Oh compose yourself to hear the worst my poor Luca the doctors had given up all hope luca dropped his brother's arm with a groan of despair Oh Madalena my child my only child reiterating these words again and again he leaned his head against the partition of burst into tears sorted and course as his nature was he really loved his daughter all the Harkey had was in his statues and in her after the first burst of his grief was exhausted he was recalled to himself by a sensation as if some change had taken place in the lighting of the studio he looked up directly and dimly discerned the priest standing far down at the end of the room nearest the door for the lamp in his hand eagerly looking at something roko he exclaimed roko why have you taken the lamp away what do you doing there there was no movement and no answer Luca advanced a step or two and called again roko what are you doing there the priest heard this time and came suddenly toward his brother with a laugh at his hand so suddenly that Lucas started what is it he asked in astonishment gracious God Rocco how pale you are still the priest had never said a word he put the lamp down on the nearest table Luca observed that his hand shook he had never seen his brother violently agitated before when Rocco had announced but a few minutes ago that mad Elena's life was spared of he was in a voice which though sorrowful was perfectly calm what was the meaning of this sudden panic this strange silent terror the priest observed that his brother was looking at emerges Lea come he said in a faint whisper come to her bedside we have no time to lose get your hat and leave it to me to put out the lamp he hurriedly extinguished the light while he spoke they went down the studio side by side toward the door the moonlight streamed through the window full on the place where the priest had been standing alone with the lamp in his hand as they passed it Luca felt his brother tremble and saw him turn away his head two hours later fabio de scole II and his wife were separated in this world forever and the servants of the palace were anticipating in whispers the order of their mistress's funeral procession

countess de scole II had been laid in her grave at the compost honto two reports were circulated through the gay world of Pisa which excited curiosity and awakened expectation everywhere the first report announced that a grand mask ball was to be given at the Milani Palace to celebrate the day on which the heir of the house attained his majority all the friends of the family were delighted at the prospect of this festival for the old Marquess Melanie had the reputation of being one of the most hospitable and at the same time one of the most eccentric men in Pisa everyone expected therefore that he would secure for the entertainment of his guests if he really gave the ball the most whimsical novelties in the way of masks dances and amusements generally that had ever been seen the second report was that the rich widower Fabio Deus Kohli was on the point of returning to Pisa after having improved his health and spirits by traveling in foreign countries and that he might be expected to appear again in society for the first time since the death of his wife at the mask ball which was to be given in the Milani palace this announcement excited special interest among the young ladies of Pisa Fabio had only reached his 30th year and it was universally agreed that his return to society in his native city could indicate nothing more certainly than his desire to find a second mother for his infant child all the single ladies would now have been ready to bet as confidently as Brigitta had offered to bet eight months before that Fabio Dias Goldie would marry again for once in a way report turned out to be true in both of the cases just mentioned invitations were actually issued from the Melanie palace and Fabia returned from a to his home on the Arno in settling all the arrangements connected with his masked ball the Marquess Melanie showed that he was determined not only to deserve but to increase his reputation for oddity he invented the most extravagant disguises to be worn by some of his more intimate friends he arranged grotesque dances to be performed at stated periods of the evening by professional buffoons hired from Florence he composed a toy symphony which included solos on every noisy plaything at that time manufactured for children's use and not content with thus avoiding the beaten track in preparing the entertainments at the ball he determined also to show decided originality even in selecting the attendants who were to wait on the company other people in his rank of life were accustomed to employ their own and hired footmen for this purpose the Marquess resolved that his attendants should be composed of young women only that two of his rooms should be fitted up as Arcadian Bowers and that all the prettiest girls in pieces should be placed in them to preside over the refreshments dressed in accordance with the mock classical taste of the period as shepherdesses of the time of Virgil the only defect of this brilliantly new idea was the difficulty of executing it the Marquess had expressly ordered that not fewer than 30 shepherdesses were to be engaged 15 for each Bower it would have been easy to find double this number in Pisa if Beauty had been the only quality required in the attendant damsels but it was also absolutely necessary for the security of the Marquess as gold and silver plate that the shepherdesses should possess besides good looks the very homely recommendation of a fair character this last qualification proved it is sad to say to be the one small merit which the majority of the ladies willing to accept engagements that the palace did not possess day after day passed on and the Marcus's steward only found more and more difficulty in obtaining the appointed number of trustworthy beauties at last his resources failed him altogether and he appeared in his master's presence about a week before the night of the ball to make the humiliating acknowledgment that he was entirely at his wits end the total number of fair shepherdesses with fair characters whom he had been able to engage amounted only to 23 nonsense cried the Marquess irritably as soon as the steward had made his confession I told you to get thirty girls and thirty I mean to have what's the use of shaking your head when all their dresses are ordered 30 tunics 30 Reis 30 pairs of sandals and silk stockings 30 crooks you scoundrel and you have the impedance to offer me only 23 hands to hold them not a word I won't hear a word get me 30 girls or lose your place the Marquess roared out this last terrible sentence at the top of his voice and pointed peremptorily to the door the steward knew his master too well to remonstrate he took his hat and cane and went out it was useless to look through the ranks of rejected volunteers again there was not the slightest hope in that quarter the only chance left was to call on all his friends in Pisa who had daughters out at service and to try what he could accomplish by bribery and persuasion that way after a whole day occupied in solicitations promises and patience smoothing down of innumerable difficulties the result of his efforts in the new direction was an accession of six more shepherdesses this brought him on bravely from 23 to 29 and left him at last with only one anxiety where was he now to find shepherdess number 30 he mentally asked himself that important question as he entered a shady by Street in the neighbourhood of the compost honto on his way back to the Melanie palace sauntering slowly along in the middle of the road and fanning himself with his handkerchief after the oppressive exertions of the day he passed a young girl who was standing at the street door of one of the houses apparently waiting for somebody to join her before she entered the building body of Bacchus exclaimed the steward using one of those old pagan ejaculations which survived in Italy even to the present day there stands the prettiest girl I have seen yet if she would only be shepherdess number 30 I should go home to supper with my mind at ease I'll ask her at any rate nothing can be lost by asking and everything may be gained stop My dear he continued seeing the girl turned to go into the house as he approached her don't be afraid of me I am steward to the Marquess Melanie and well known in Pisa as an eminently respectable man I have something to say to you which may be greatly for your benefits don't look surprised I am coming to the point at once do you want to earn a little money honestly of course you don't look as if you were very rich my child I am very poor and very much in want of some honest work to do answer the girl sadly then we shall suit each other to a nicety for I have work of the pleasantest kind to give you and plenty of money to pay for it but before we say anything more about that suppose you tell me first something about yourself who you are and so forth you know who I am already I am only a poor work girl in my name is naina I have nothing more sir to say about myself than that do you belong to Pisa yes sir at least I did but I have been away for some time I was a year at Florence employed in needlework all by yourself no sir with my little sister I was waiting for her when you came up have you ever done anything else but needlework never been out at service yes sir for the last eight months I have had a situation to wait on a lady at Florence and my sister who has turned 11 sir and can make herself very useful was allowed to help in the nursery how came you to leave this situation the lady and her family were going to Rome sir they would have taken me with them but they could not take my sister we are alone in the world and we never have been parted from each other and never shall be so I was obliged to leave the situation and here you are back at Pisa with nothing to do I suppose nothing yet sir we only came back yesterday only yesterday you are a lucky girl let me tell you two have met with me I suppose you have somebody in the town who can speak to your character the landlady of the house cancer and who is she pray Marta angrist Ani sir what the well-known sick nurse you could not possibly have a better recommendation child I remember her being employed at the Melanie Palace at the time of the Marcus's last attack of gout but I never knew that she kept a lodging house she and her daughter sir have owned this house longer than I can recollect my sister and I have lived in it since I was quite a little child and I had hoped we might be able to live here again but the top room we used to have is taken and the room to let lower down is far more I am afraid than we can afford how much is it the Nina mentioned the weekly rent of the room in fear and trembling the steward burst out laughing suppose I offered you money enough to be able to take that room for a whole year at once he said the Nina looked at him in speechless amazement suppose I offered you that continued the steward and suppose I only ask you in return to put on a fine dress and serve refreshments in a beautiful room to the company at the Marquess Milan ease grandbo what should you say to that the Nina said nothing she drew back a step or two and looked more bewildered than before you must have heard of the ball said the steward pompously the poorest people in Pisa have heard of it it is the talk of the whole city still no Nina made no answer to have replied truthfully she must have confessed that the talk of the whole city had now no interest for her the last news from Pisa that had appealed to her sympathies was the news of the countess Dias Coley's death and ah Fabio's departure to travel in foreign countries since then she had heard nothing more of him she was as ignorant of his return to his native city as of all the reports connected with the Marcus's ball something in her own heart some feeling which she had neither the desire nor the capacity to analyze had brought her back to Pisa into the old home which now connected itself with her tenderest recollections believing that Fabio was still absent she felt that no ill motive could now be attributed to her return and she had not been able to resist the temptation of revisiting the scene that had been associated with the first great happiness as well as the first great sorrow of her life among all the poor people of Pisa she was perhaps the very last whose curiosity could be awakened or whose attention could be attracted by the rumor of gaiety zat the Melonie palace but she could not confess all this she could only listen with great humility and no small surprise while the steward in compassion for her ignorance and with the hope of tempting her into accepting his offered engagement described the arrangements of the approaching festival and dwelt fondly on the magnificence of the Arcadian Bowers and the beauty of the shepherdesses tunics as soon as he had done the Nina ventured on the confession that she should feel rather nervous in a grand dress that did not belong to her and that she doubted very much her own capability of waiting properly on the great people at the ball the steward however would hear of no objections and called peremptorily for Marta Unger Sahni to make the necessary statement as tuna Nina's character while this formality was being complied with to the stewards perfect satisfaction Lobby and Ella came in unaccompanied on this occasion by the usual companion of all her walks the Larned poodle Scarra machiya this is nanine his sister said the good-natured sick nurse taking the first opportunity of introducing Lobby and Ella to the great Marcus's great man a very good industrious little girl and very clever at plating dinner mats encase his Excellency should ever want any what have you done with a dog my dear I couldn't get him past the pork butchers three streets off replied lobby on della he would sit down and look at the sausages I am more than half afraid he means to steal some of them a very pretty child said the steward patting Lobby on della on the cheek we ought to have her at the hall if his Excellency should want a cupid or a youthful nymph or anything small and light in that way I shall come back and let you know in the meantime the Nina consider yourself shepherdess number 30 and come to the housekeeper's room at the palace to try on your dress tomorrow nonsense don't talk to me about being afraid and awkward all your wanted to do is to look pretty and your glass must have told you you could do that long ago remember the rent of the room my dear and don't stand in your light and your sisters does the little girl like sweetmeats of course she does well I promised you a whole box of sugarplums to take home for her if you will come and wait at the ball oh go to the ball no Nina go to the ball cried lobby on della clapping her hands of course she will go to the ball said the nurse she would be mad to throw away such an excellent chance 'no nina looked perplexed she hesitated a little then drew marta anger son aside into a corner and whispered this question to her do you think there will be any priest at the palace where the Marquess lives heavens child what a thing to ask returned the nurse priests at a masked ball you might as well expect to find Turks performing high mass in the cathedral but supposing you did meet with priests at the palace but then nothing said the Nena constrainted Lea she turned pale and walked away she spoke her great dread in returning to Pisa was the dread of meeting with Father Rocco again she had never forgotten her first discovery at Florence of his distrust of her the bare thought of seeing him anymore after her faith in him had been shaken forever made her feel faint and sick at heart tomorrow in the housekeeper's room said the steward putting on his hat you will find your new dress all ready for you the Nina Curtis Eden ventured on no more objections the prospect of securing a home for a whole year to come among people whom she knew reconciled her influence as she was also by Marta angrist honest advice and by her sister's anxiety for the promised present to brave the trial of appearing at the ball what a comfort to have it all settled at last said the steward as soon as he was out again in the street we shall see what the Marquess says now if he doesn't apologize for calling me a scoundrel the moment he sets eyes on number 30 he is the most ungrateful nobleman that ever existed arriving in front of the palace the steward found workmen engaged in planning the external decorations and illuminations for the night of the ball a little crowd had already assembled to see the ladders raised and the scaffoldings put up he observed among them standing near the outskirts of the throng a lady who attracted his attention he was an ardent admirer of the fair sex by the beauty and symmetry of her figure while he lingered for a moment to look at her a Shaggy poodle dog licking his chops as if he had just had something to eat trotted by stops suddenly close to the lady sniffed suspiciously for an instant and then began to growl at her without the slightest apparent provocation the steward advanced politely with his stick to dry the dog away saw the lady start and hurt her exclaimed to herself amazingly you hear you Beast can the Nina have come back to Pisa the last exclamation gave the steward as a gallant man an excuse for speaking to the elegant stranger excuse me madam he said but I heard you mention the name of the Nina may I ask whether you mean a pretty little work girl who lives near the campus on toe the same said the lady looking very much surprised and interested immediately it may be a gratification to you madam to know that she has just returned to Pisa continued the steward politely and moreover that she is in a fairway to rise in the world I have just engaged her to wait at the Marcus's grand ball and I need hardly to say under those circumstances that if she plays her cards properly her fortune is made the lady bowed looked at her informants very intensely and thoughtfully for a moment then suddenly walked away without uttering a word a curious woman thought the steward entering the palace I must ask number 30 about her tomorrow end of section 42 recording by Warren kadhi Gurnee

her uncle after the first shock of the bereavement was over Luka lomi declared that it would be impossible for him to work in his studio again for some time to come at least after the death of the beloved daughter with whom every corner of it was now so sadly and closely associated he accordingly accepted an engagement to assist in restoring several newly discovered works of ancient sculpture at Naples and set forth for that city leaving the care of his work rooms at pisa entirely to his brother on the master sculptors departure father Rocco caused the statues and busts to be carefully enveloped in linen cloths locked the studio doors and to the astonishment of all who knew of his former industry and dexterity as a sculptor never approached the place again his clerical duties he performed with the same assiduity as ever but he went out less than had been his custom hitherto to the houses of his friends his most regular visits were to the ascoli palace to inquire at the porters Lodge after the health of mad Elena's child who was always reported to be thriving admirably under the care of the best nurses that could be found in Pisa as for any communications with his polite little friend from Florence they had ceased months ago the information speedily conveyed to him that the Nina was in the service of one of the most respectable ladies in the city seemed to relieve any anxieties which he might otherwise have felt on her account he made no attempt to justify himself to her and only required that his over courteous little visitor of former days should let him know whenever the girl might happen to leave her new situation the admirer years of father Rocco seeing the alteration in his life and the increased quietness of his manner said that as he was growing older he was getting more and more above the things of this world his enemies for even father Rocco had them did not scruple to assert that the change in him was decidedly for the worse and that he belonged to the order of men who are most to be distrusted when they become most subdued the priest himself paid no attention either to his eulogists or to his depreciate errs nothing disturbed the regularity and discipline of his daily habits and vigilance scandal though she sought often to surprise him thoughts always in vain such was father Rocco's life from the period of his niece's death - Fabio's return to Pisa as a matter of course the priest was one of the first to call it the palace and welcome the young nobleman back what passed between them at this interview never was precisely known but it was surmised readily enough that some misunderstanding had taken place for father Rocco did not repeat his visit he made no complaints of Fabio but simply stated that he had said something intended for the young man's good which had not been received in a right spirit and that he thought it desirable to avoid the painful chance of any further collision by not presenting himself at the palace again for some little time people were rather amazed at this they would have been still more surprised if the subject of the masked ball had not just then occupied all their attention and prevented their noticing it by another strange event in connection with the priest father Rocco some weeks after the cessation of his intercourse with Fabio returned one morning to his old way of life as a sculptor and opened the long closed doors of his brother's studio luke'll amis former workman discovering this applied to him immediately for employment but were informed that their services would not be needed visitors called at the studio but were always sent away again by the disappointing announcement that there was nothing new to show them so the days passed on until the Nina left her situation and returned to Pisa this circumstance was duly reported to father Rocco by his correspondent at Florence but whether he was too much occupied among the statues or whether it was one result of his cautious resolution never to expose himself unnecessarily to so much as the breath of detraction he made no attempt to see Nina or even to justify himself toward her by writing her a letter all his mornings continued to be spent alone in the studio and all his afternoons to be occupied by his clerical duties until the day before the masked ball at the melanie palace early on that day he covered over the statues and locked the doors of the work rooms once more then returned to his own lodgings and did not go out again one or two of his friends who wanted to see him were informed that he was not well enough to be able to receive them if they had penetrated into his little study and had seen him they would have been easily satisfied that this was no mere excuse they would have noticed that his face was startling ly pale and that the ordinary composure of his manner was singularly disturbed toward evening this restlessness increased and his old housekeeper on pressing him to take some nourishment was astonished to hear him answer her sharply and irritably for the first time since she had been in his service a little later her surprise was increased by his sending her with a note to the Ascoli palace and by the quick return of an answer brought ceremoniously by one of Fabio's servants it is a long since he has had any communication with that quarter are they going to be friends again thought the housekeeper as she took the answer upstairs to her master I feel better tonight he said as he read it well enough indeed to venture out if anyone inquires for me tell them that I am gone to the Scully palace saying this he walked to the door then returned and trying the lock of his cabinet satisfied himself that it was properly secured then went out he found Fabio in one of the large drawing rooms of the palace walking irritably backward and forward with several little notes crumpled together in his hands and a plain black Domino dress for the masquerade of the ensuing night spread out on one of the tables I was just going to write to you said the young man abruptly when I received your letter you offer me a renewal of our friendship and I accept the offer I have no doubt those references of yours when we last met to the subject of second marriages were well meant but they irritated me and speaking under that irritation I said words that I had better not have spoken if I pained you I'm sorry for it wait pardon me for one moment I have not quite done yet it seems that you were by no means the only person in Pisa to whom the question of my possibly marrying again appears to have presented itself ever since it was known that I intended to renew my intercourse with society at the ball tomorrow night I have been persecuted by anonymous letters infamous letters written from some motive which it is impossible for me to understand I want your advice on the best means of discovering the writers and I also have a very important question to ask you but read one of the letters first yourself anyone will do is a sample of the rest fixing his eyes searching Leon the priest he handed him one of the notes still a little paler than usual father Rocco sat down by the nearest lamp and shading his eyes read these lines count Fabio it is the common talk of Pisa that you are likely as young man left with a motherless child to marry again your having accepted an invitation to the Melanie palace gives the color of truth through this report widowers who are true to the departed do not go among the handsomest single women in a city at a masked ball reconsider your determination and remain at home I know you and I knew your wife and I say to you solemnly avoid temptation for you must never marry again neglect my advice and you will repent it to the end of your life I have reasons for what I say serious fatal reasons which I cannot divulge if you would let your wife lie easy in her grave if you would avoid a terrible warning go not to the mask ball I ask you and I ask any man if that is not infamous exclaimed Papio passionately as the priest handed him back the letter an attempt to work on my fears through the memory of my poor dead wife an insolent assumption that I want to marry again when I myself have not even so much as thought of the subject at all what is the secret object of this letter and of the rest here that resemble it whose interest is it to keep me away from the ball what is the meaning of such a phrase as if you would let your wife lie easy in her grave have you no advice to give me no plan to propose for discovering the vile hand that traced these lines speak to me why in heaven's name don't you speak the priest leaned his head on his hand and turning his face from the light as if it dazzled his eyes replied in his lowest and quietest tones I cannot speak to I have had time to think the mystery of that letter is not to be solved in a moment there are things in it that are enough to perplex and amaze any man what things it is impossible for me to go into details at least at the present moment you speak with a strange air of secrecy have you nothing definite to say no advice to give me I should advise you not to go to the ball you would why if I gave you my reasons I am afraid I should only be irritating you to no purpose Father Rocco neither your words nor your manner satisfy me you speak in riddles and you sit there in the dark with your face hidden from me the priest instantly started up and turned his face to the light I recommend you to control your temper and to treat me with common courtesy he said in his quietest firmest tones looking at Fabio's steadily while he spoke we will not prolong this interview said the young man calming himself by an evident effort I have one question to ask you and then no more to say the priest bowed his head and token that he was ready to listen he still stood up calm pale and firm in the full light of the lamp it is just possible continued fabio that these letters may refer to some incautious words which my late wife might have spoken I ask you as her spiritual director and as a near relation who enjoyed her confidence if you ever heard her express a wish in the event of my surviving her that I should abstained from marrying again did she never express such a wish to you never but why do you even by asking me another it is impossible for me to reply to your question for what reason because it is impossible for me to give answers which must refer whether they are affirmative or negative to what I have heard in confession we have spoken enough said fabio turning angrily from the priest I expected you to help me in clearing up these mysteries and you do your best to thicken them what your motives are what your conduct means it is impossible for me to know but I say to you what I would say in far other terms if they were here to the villains who have written these letters no menaces no mysteries no conspiracies will prevent me from being at the ball tomorrow I can listen to persuasion but I scorn threats there lies my dress for the masquerade no power on earth shall prevent me from wearing it tomorrow night he pointed as he spoke to the black Domino and half mask lying on the table no power on earth repeated father Rocco with a smile and an emphasis on the last word superstitious still count Fabio do you suspect the powers of the other world of interfering with mortals at masquerades Fabio started and turning from the table fixed his eyes intently on the priests pace you suggested just now that we had better not prolong this interview said Father Rocco's still smiling I think you were right if we part at once we may still part friends you have had my advise not to go to the ball and you declined following it I have nothing more to say good night before Fabio could utter the angry rejoinder that rose to his lips the door of the room had opened and closed again and the priest was gone end of section 43 recording by Warren kadhi Gurnee Illinois section 44 of after dark this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by Warren Cody Gurnee Illinois after dark by Wilkie Collins the professor's story of the yellow mask parts 3rd chapter 3 the next night at the time of assembling specified in the invitations to the masked ball Oh Fabio was still lingering in his palace and still allowing the black Domino to lie untouched and unheeded on his dressing table this delay was not produced by any change in his resolution to go to the Melonie palace his determination to be present at the ball remained unshaken and yet at the last moment he lingered and lingered on without knowing why some strange influence seemed to be keeping him within the walls of his lonely home It was as if the great empty silent palace had almost recovered on that night the charm which it had lost when its mistress died he left his own apartments and went to the bedroom where his infant child lay asleep in her little crib he sat watching her in thinking quietly and tenderly of many past events in his life for a long time then returned to his room a sudden sense of loneliness came upon him after his visit to the child's bedside but he did not attempt to raise his spirits even then by going to the ball he descended instead to his study blighted his reading lamp and then opening a bureau took from one of the drawers in it the letter which Lenina had written to him this was not the first time that a sudden sense of his solitude had connected itself inexplicably with the remembrance of the work girls letter he read it through slowly and when he had done kept it open in his hand I have youth titles wealth he thought to himself sadly everything that is sought after in this world and yet if I tried to think of any human being who really and truly loves me I can remember but one the poor faithful girl who wrote these lines old recollections of the first day when he met with naina of the first sitting she had given him in lucca lomi studio of the first visit to the neat little room in the by-street began to rise more and more vividly in his mind entirely absorbed by them he sat absently drawing with pen and ink on some sheets of letter paper lying under his hand lines and circles and fragments of decorations and vague remembrances of old ideas for statues until the sudden sinking of the flame of his lamp awoke his attention abruptly to present things he looked at his watch it was closed on midnight this discovery at last aroused him to the necessity of immediate departure in a few minutes he had put on his Domino and mask and was on his way to the ball before he reached the Melonie palace the first part of the entertainment had come to an end the toy Symphony had been played the grotesque dance performed amid universal laughter and now the guests were for the most part fortifying themselves in the Arcadian bowers for new dances in which all persons present were expected to take part the Marquess Mulaney he had with characteristic oddity divided his to classical refreshment rooms into what he termed the light and heavy departments fruit pastry sweet meats salads and harmless drinks were included under the first head and all the stimulating liquors and solid eatables under the last the thirty shepherdesses had been according to the Marcoses order equally divided at the outset of the evening between the two rooms but as the company began to crowd more and more resolutely in the direction of the heavy department 10 of the shepherdesses attached to the light department were told off to assist in attending on the hungry and thirsty majority of guests who were not to be appeased by pastry and lemonade among the five girls who were left behind in the room for the light refreshments was Lenina the steward soon discovered that the novelty of her situation made her really nervous and he wisely concluded that if he trusted her where the crowd was greatest in the noise loudest she would not only be utterly useless but also very much in the way of her more confident inexperienced companions when Fabio arrived at the palace the jovial uproar in the heavy department was at its height and several gentlemen fired by the classical costumes of the shepherdesses were beginning to speak Latin to them with a thick utterance and a valorous contempt for all restrictions of gender number and case as soon as he could escape from the congratulations on his return to his friends which poured on him from all sides Fabia withdrew to seek some quieter room the heat noise and confusion had so bewildered him after the tranquil life he had been leading for many months past that it was quite a relief to stroll through the half deserted dancing rooms to the opposite extremity of the great suite of apartments and there to find himself in a second Arcadian bower which seemed peaceful enough to deserve its name a few guests were in this room when he first entered it but the distant sound of some first notes of dance music drew them all away after a careless look at the quaint decorations about him he sat down alone on a divan near the door and beginning already to feel the heat and discomfort of his mask took it off he had not removed it more than a moment before he heard a faint cry in the direction of a long refreshment table behind which the five waiting girls were standing he started up directly and could hardly believe his senses when he found himself standing face to face with the Nina her cheeks had turned perfectly colorless her astonishment at seeing the young nobleman appeared to have some sensation of Terror mingled with it the waiting woman who happened to stand by her side instinctively stretched out an arm to support her absorbing that she caught at the edge of the table as Fabio hurried round to get behind it and speak to her when he drew near her head drooped on her breast and she said faintly I never knew you were at pisa I never thought you would be here oh I am true to what I said in my letter though I seemed so false to it I want to speak to you about the letter to tell you how carefully I've kept it how often I have read it said Fabio she turned away her head and tried hard to repress the tears that would force their way into her eyes we should never have met she said never never have met again before Fabio could reply the waiting woman by naina side interposed for heaven's sake don't stop speaking to her here she exclaimed impatiently if the steward are one of the upper servants was to come in he would get her into dreadful trouble wait till tomorrow and find some fitter place than this Fabio felt the justice of the reproof immediately he tore a leaf out of his pocketbook and wrote on it I must tell you how I honor and thank you for that letter tomorrow 10:00 o clock the wicked gate at the back of the ascoli gardens believe in my truth and honour and Annina for I believe implicitly in yours having written these lines he took from among his bunch of watch seals a little key wrapped it up in the note and pressed it into her hand in spite of himself his fingers lingered round hers and he was on the point of speaking to her again when he saw the waiting woman's hand which was just raised to motion him away suddenly drop her colour changed at the same moment and she looked fixedly across the table he turned round immediately and saw a masked woman standing alone in the room dressed entirely in yellow from head to foot she had a yellow hood a yellow half mask with deep fringe hanging down over her mouth and a yellow Domino cut at the sleeves and edges into long flame-shaped points which waved backward and forward tremulously in the light air wafted through the doorway the woman's black eyes seemed to gleam with an evil brightness through the slight holes of the mask and a tawny fringe hanging before her mouth fluttered slowly with every breath she drew without a word or a gesture she stood before the table and her gleaming black eyes fixed steadily on Fabio the instant he confronted her a sudden chill struck through him as he observed that the yellow of the strangers Domino and mask was of precisely the same shade as the yellow of the hangings and furniture which his wife had chosen after their marriage for the decoration of her favorite sitting-room the yellow mask whispered the waiting girls nervously crowding together behind the table the yellow mask again make her speak ask her to have something this gentleman will ask her speak to her sir do speak to her she glides about in that fearful yellow dress like a ghost Fabio looked around mechanically at the girl who was whispering to him he saw at the same time that nanine estill kept her head turned away and that she had her handkerchief at her eyes she was evidently struggling yet with the agitation produced by their unexpected meeting and was most probably for that reason the only person in the room not conscious of the presence of the yellow mask speak to her sir do speak to her whispered two of the waiting girls together Fabio turned again toward the table the black eyes were still gleaming at him from behind the tawny yellow of the mask he nodded to the girls who had just spoken cast one farewell look at nanine ax and moved down the room to get round to the side of the table at which the yellow mask was standing step by step as he moved the bright eyes followed him steadily and more steadily their evil white seemed to shine through and through him as he turned the corner of the table and approached the still spectral figure he came close up to the woman but she never moved her eyes never wavered for an instant he stopped and tried to speak but the chill struck through him again an overpowering dread and not Herbal loathing seized on him all sense of outer things the whispering of the waiting girls behind the table the gentle cadence of the dance music the distant hum of joyous talk suddenly left him he turned away shuddering and quitted the room following the sound of the music and desiring before all things now to join the crowd wherever it was largest he was stopped in one of the smaller apartments by a gentleman who had just risen from the card-table and who held out his hand with the cordiality of an old friend welcome back to the world count Fabio he began gaily then suddenly checked himself why you look pale and your hand feels cold not ill I hope no no I've been rather startled I can't say why by a very strangely dressed woman who fairly stared me out of countenance you don't mean the yellow mask yes I do have you seen her everybody has seen her but nobody can make her unmask or get her to speak our host has not the slightest notion who she is and our hostess is horribly frightened at her for my part I think she has given us quite enough of her mystery and her grim dress and of my name instead of being nothing but plain aundrea DRB no was Marquess Melanie I would say to her Madame we are here to laugh and amuse ourselves suppose you open your lips and charm us by appearing in a prettier dress during this conversation they had sat down together with their backs toward the door by the side of one of the card tables well DRB no was speaking phobia suddenly felt himself shuddering again and became conscious of a sound of low breathing behind him he turned around instantly and there standing between them and peering down at them was the yellow mask Fabio started up and his friend followed his example again the gleaming black eyes rested steadily on the young nobleman's face and again their look chilled to the heart yellow lady do you know my friend exclaimed the Urbino with mock solemnity there was no answer the fatal eyes never moved from Fabio's face yellow lady continued to the other listen to the music will you dance with me the eyes looked away and the figure glided slowly from the room my dear Count said the Urbino that woman seems to have quite an effect on you I declare she has left you paler than ever come into the supper room with me and have some wine you really look as if you wanted it they went at once to the large refreshment room nearly all the guests had by this time begun to dance again they had the whole apartment therefore almost entirely to themselves among the decorations of the room which were not strictly in accordance with genuine Arcadian simplicity was a large looking glass placed over a well furnished sideboard DRB no LED fabio in this direction exchanging greetings as he advanced with the gentlemen who stood near the glass looking into it and carelessly Fanning himself with his mask my dear friend cried DRB no you are the very man to lead us straight to the best bottle of wine in the palace count fabio let me present to you my intimate and good friend the Cavalleri Finnell Oh with whose family I know you are well acquainted Finnell oh the count is a little out of spirits and I have prescribed a good dose of wine I see a whole row of bottles at your side and I leave it to you to apply the remedy glasses there three glasses my lovely shepherdess with the black eyes the three largest you have got the glasses were brought the Cavalieri Finnell Oh chose a particular bottle and filled them all three gentleman turned round to the sideboard to use it as a table and thus necessarily faced the looking-glass now let us drink the toast of toasts said dr Beno Finnell Oh Fabio the ladies of Pisa Fabio raised the wine to his lips and was on the point of drinking it when he saw reflected in the glass the figure of the yellow mask the glittering eyes were again fixed on him and the yellow hooded head bowed slowly as if in acknowledgment of the toast he was about to drink for the third time the strange chill seized him and he set down his glass of wine untasted what is the matter asked the Urbino have you any dislike count to that particular wine inquired the capillary the yellow mask whispered fabio the yellow mask again they all three turned round directly toward the door but it was too late the figure had disappeared does anyone know who this yellow mask is asked Finnell oh one may guess by the walk that the figure is a woman's perhaps it may be the strange color she has chosen for her dress or perhaps her stealthy way of moving from room to room but there is certainly something mysterious and startling about her startling enough as the counts would tell you said DRB no the yellow mask has been responsible for his loss of spirits and change of complexion and now she has prevented him even from drinking his wine I can't account for it said fabio looking round him uneasily but this is the third room into which she has followed me the third time she has seemed to fix her eyes on me alone I suppose my nerves are hardly in a fit state yet four masked balls and adventures the sight of her seems to chill me who can she be if she followed me for a fourth time said Finnell oh I should insist on her unmasking and suppose she refused ask his friend then I should take her mask off for her it is impossible to do that with a woman said papi oh I prefer trying to lose her in the crowd excuse me gentlemen if I leave you to finish the wine and then to meet you if you like in the great ballroom he retired as he spoke put on his mask and joined the dancers immediately taking care to keep always in the most crowded corner of the apartment for some time this plan of action proved successful and he saw no more of the mysterious yellow Domino ere long however some new dances were arranged in which the great majority of the persons in the ballroom took part the figures resembling the old english country dances in this respect that the ladies and gentlemen were placed in long rows opposite to each other the sets consisted of about 20 couples each placed sometimes across and sometimes along the apartments and the spectators were all required to move away on either side and range themselves close to the walls as Fabio among others complied with this necessity he looked down a row of dancers waiting during the performance of the orchestral Prelude and they're watching him again from the opposite end of the lane formed by the gentlemen on one side and the ladies on the other he saw the yellow mask he moved abruptly back toward another row of dancers placed at right angles to the first row and there again at the opposite end of the gay lane of brightly dressed figures was the yellow mask he slipped into the middle of the room but it was only to find her occupying his former position near the wall and still in spite of his disguise watching him through row after row of dancers the persecution began to grow intolerable he felt a kind of angry curiosity mingling now with the vague dread that had hitherto oppressed him the nelos advice recurred to his memory and he determined to make the woman unmasked at All Hazards with this intention he returned to the supper room in which he had left his friends they were gone probably to the ballroom to look for him plenty of wine was still left on the sideboard and he poured himself out a glass finding that his hand trembled as he did so he drank several more glasses in quick succession to nerve himself for the approaching encounter with the yellow mask while he was drinking he expected every moments to see her in the looking glass again but she never appeared and yet he felt almost certain that he had detected her gliding out after him when he left the ballroom he thought it possible that she might be waiting for him in one of the smaller apartments and taking off his mask walked through several of them without meeting her until he came to the door of the refreshment room in which the Nina and he had recognized each other the waiting woman behind the table who had first spoken to him caught sight of him now and Rand round to the door don't come in and speak to naina again she said and staking the purpose which had brought him to the door what with frightening her first and making her cry afterward you have rendered her quite unfit for her work the steward is in there at this moment very good-natured but not very sober he says she is pale and red-eyed and not fit to be a shepherdess any longer and that as she will not be missed now she may go home if she likes we have got her an old cloak and she is going to try and slip through the rooms unobserved to get downstairs and change her dress don't speak to her pray or you will only make her cry again and what is worse make the steward fancy she stopped at that last word and pointed suddenly over Fabio's shoulder the yellow mask she exclaimed Oh sir draw her away into the ballroom and give nanine ax a chance of getting out fabio turned directly and approached the mask who as they looked at each other slowly retreated before him the waiting woman seeing the yellow figure retire hastened back to know Nina in the refreshment room slowly the masked woman retreated from one apartment to another till she entered a corridor brilliantly lighted up in beautifully ornamented with flowers on the right hand this corridor led to the ballroom on the left - an antechamber at the head of the palace staircase the yellow mask went on a few paces toward the left then stopped the bright eyes to fix themselves as before on Fabio's face but only for a moment he heard a light step behind him and then he saw the eyes move following the direction they took he turned round and discovered nanine ax wrapped up in the old cloak which was to enable her to get downstairs unobserved oh how can I get out how can I get out cried the girl shrinking back affrightedly as she saw the yellow mask that way said fabio pointing in the direction of the ballroom nobody will notice you in the cloak it will only be thought some new disguise he took her arm as he spoke to reassure her and continued in a whisper don't forget tomorrow at the same moment he felt a hand laid on him it was the hand of the masked woman and it put him back from the Nina in spite of himself he trembled at her touch but still retained presence of mind enough to sign to the girl to make her escape with a look of eager inquiry in the direction of the mask and a half suppressed exclamation of terror she obeyed him and hastened away toward the ballroom we are alone said fabio confronting the gleaming black eyes and reaching out his hand resolutely toward the yellow mask tell me who you are and why you follow me or I will uncover your face and solve the mystery for myself the woman pushed his hand aside and drew back a few paces but never spoke a word he followed her there was not an instant to be lost for just then the sound of footsteps hastily approaching the corridor became audible Now or Never he whispered to himself and snatched at the mask his arm was again thrust aside but this time the woman raised her disengaged hand at the same moment and removed the yellow mask the lamps shed their soft light full on her face it was the face of his dead wife end of section 44 recording by Warren Cody Gurnee Illinois section

trying as a last resource the corridor leading to the ballroom and grand staircase discovered his friend lying on the floor in a swoon without any living creature near him determining to avoid alarming the guests if possible dr Beno first sought help in the antechamber he found there the Marcus's Vallot assisting the Cavallari Finnell Oh who was just taking his departure to put on his cloak while Fenella and his friend carried Fabio to an open window in the antechamber the Vallot procured some ice water this simple remedy and the change of atmosphere proved enough to restore the fainting man to his senses but hardly as it seemed to his friends to his former self they noticed a change to blankness and stillness in his face and when he spoke an indescribable alteration in the tone of his voice I found you in a room in the corridor said DRB no what made you faint don't you remember was it the heat Fabio waited for a moment painfully collecting his ideas he looked at the ballot and Finnell assigned to the man to withdraw was it the heat repeated DRB no no answered Fabio in strangely hushed steady tones I have seen the face that was behind the yellow mask well it was the face of my dead wife your dead wife when the mask was removed I saw her face not as I remember it in the pride of her youth and beauty not even as I remember her on her sickbed but as I remember her in her coffin count for God's sake rouse yourself collect your thoughts remember where you are and free your mind of its horrible delusion spare me all remonstrances I am not fit to bear them my life has only one object now the pursuing of this mystery to the end will you help me I am scarcely fit to act for myself he still spoke in the same unnaturally hushed deliberate tones DRB no and penelo exchanged glances behind him as he rose from the sofa on which he had hitherto been lying we will help you in everything said dr binos soothingly trust in us to the end what do you wish to do first the figure must have gone through this room let us descend the staircase and ask the servants if they have seen it pass both deer Beano and Fenella remarked that he did not say her they inquired down to the very courtyard not one of the servants had seen the yellow mask the last resource was the porter at the outer gate they applied to him and an answer to their questions he asserted that he had most certainly seen a lady in a yellow Domino and mask drive away about half an hour before in a hired coach should you remember the coachman again asked DRB know perfectly he is an old friend of mine and you know where he lives yes as well as I know where I do any reward you like if you can get somebody to mind your Lodge and can take us to that house in a few minutes they were following the porter through the dark silent streets we had better try the stables first said the man my friend the coachman will hardly have had time to do more than set the lady down we shall most likely catch him just putting up his horses the porter turned out to be right on entering the stable yard they found that the empty coach had just driven into it you have been taking home a lady in a yellow Domino from the masquerade said DRB no putting some money into the Coachman's hand yes sir I was engaged by that lady for the evening engaged to drive her to the ball as well as to drive her home where did you take her from from a very extraordinary place from the gate of the compos Anto burial ground during this colloquy Finnell oh and ER Beno had been standing with Fabio between them each giving him an arm the instant the last answer was given he reeled back with a cry of horror where have you taken her to now asked the Urbino he looked about him nervously as he put the question and spoke for the first time in a whisper to the compos aunt Oh again said the coachman Fabio suddenly drew his arms out of the arms of his friends and sank to his knees on the ground hiding his face from some broken ejaculations which escaped him it seemed as if dreaded that his senses were leaving him and that he was praying to be preserved in his right mind why is he so violently agitated said Finnell Oh eagerly to his friend hush returned the other you heard him say that when he saw the face behind the yellow mask it was the face of his dead wife yes but what then his wife was buried in the compos

present in any capacity at the Marquess Melanie's ball the earliest riser on the morning after it was the Nina the agitation produced by the strange events in which she had been concerned destroyed the very idea of sleep through the hours of darkness she could not even close her eyes and as soon as the new day broke she rose to breathe the early morning air at her window and to think in perfect tranquillity over all that had passed since she entered the Melanie palace to wait on the guests at the masquerade on reaching home the previous night all her other sensations had been absorbed in a vague feeling of mingled dread and curiosity produced by the sight of the weird figure in the yellow mask which she had left standing alone with Fabio in the palace corridor the morning lights however suggested new thoughts she now opened the note which the young nobleman had pressed into her hand and read over and over again the hurried pencil mine scrawled on the paper could there be any harm any forgetfulness of her own duty and using the key enclosed in the note and keeping her appointment in the ascoli Gardens at 10 o clock surely not surely the last sentence he had written believe in my truth and honor 'no nina for i believe implicitly in yours was enough to satisfy her this time that she could not be doing wrong and listening for once to the pleading of her own heart and besides there in her lap lay the key of the wicket-gate it was absolutely necessary to use that if only for the purpose of giving it back safely into the hand of its owner as this last thought was passing through her mind and plausibly overcoming any faint doubts and difficulties which she might still have left she was startled by a sudden knocking at the street door and looking out of the window immediately saw a man in livery standing in the street anxiously peering up at the house to see if his knocking had aroused anybody does Marta Angra Sahni the sick nurse live here inquired the man as soon as the Nina showed herself at the window yes she answered must I call her up is there some person ill call her up directly said the servant she is wanted at the Ascoli palace by master count fabio the Nina waited to hear no more she flew to the room in which the sick nurse slept and awoke her almost roughly in an instant he is ill she cried breathlessly Oh make haste make haste he is ill and he has sent for you Marta inquired who had sent for her and on being informed promised to lose no time the Nina ran downstairs to tell the servants that the sick nurse was getting on her clothes the man's serious expression when she came close to him terrified her all her usual self distrusts vanished and she entreated him without attempting to conceal her anxiety to tell her particularly what his master's illness was and how it had affected him so suddenly after the ball I know nothing about it answered the man noticing de niñas manner as she put her question with some surprise except that my master was brought home by two gentlemen friends of his about a couple of hours ago in a very sad state half out of his mind as it seemed to me I gathered from what was said that he had got a dreadful shock from seeing some woman take off her mask and show her face to him at the ball how that could be I don't in the least understand but I know that when the doctor was sent for he looked very serious and talked about fearing brain fever here the servants stopped for to his astonishment he saw no Nina suddenly turn away from him and then heard her crying bitterly as she went back into the house Marta on Grisanti had huddled on her clothes and was looking at herself in the glass to see that she was sufficiently presentable to appear at the palace when she felt two arms flung round her neck and before she could say a word found the Nina sobbing on her bosom he is ill he is in danger cried the girl I must go with you to help him you have always been kind to me Marta be kinder than ever now take me with you take me with you to the palace you child exclaimed the nurse gently unclasping her arms yes yes if it is only for an hour pleaded no Nina if it is only for one little hour every day you have only to say that I'm your helper and they would let me in Marta I shall break my heart if I can't see him and help him to get well again the nurse still hesitated the Nina clasped her round the neck once more and laid her cheek burning hot now though the tears have been streaming down it but an instant before close to the good woman's face I love him Marta great as he is I love him with all my heart and soul and strength she went on in quick eager whispering tones and he loves me he would have married me if I had not gone away to save him from it I could keep my love for him a secret while he was well I could stifle it and crush it down and wither it up by absence but now he is ill it gets beyond me I can't master it Oh Marta don't break my heart by denying me I have suffered so much for his sake that I have earned the right to nurse him Marta was not proof against this last appeal she had one great and rare merit for a middle-aged woman she had not forgotten her own youth calm child said she soothingly I won't attempt to deny you dry your eyes put on your mantilla and when we get face-to-face with a doctor try to look as old and ugly as you can if you want to be let into the sickroom along with me the ordeal of Medical scrutiny was passed more easily than Marta Ann Grisanti had anticipated it was of great importance in the doctor's opinion that the sick man should see familiar faces at his bedside the Nina had only therefore to state that he knew her well and that she had sat to him as a model in the days when he was learning the art of sculpture to be immediately accepted as Marta's privileged assistance in the sick room the worst apprehensions felt by the doctor for the patient were soon realized the fever flew to his brain for nearly six weeks he lay prostrate at the mercy of death now raging with the wild strength of delirium and now sunk in the speechless motionless sleepless exhaustion which was his only repose at last the Blessed day came when he enjoyed his first sleep and when the doctor began for the first time to talk of the future with hope even then however the same terrible peculiarity marked his light dreams which had previously shown itself in his fierce delirium from the faintly uttered broken phrases which dropped from him when he slept as from the wild words which burst from him when his senses were deranged the one sad discovery inevitably resulted that his mind was still haunted they unite hour after hour by the figure in the yellow mask as his bodily health improved the doctor and attendants on him grew more and more anxious as to the state of his mind there was no appearance of any positive derangement of intellect but there was a mental depression and on altering invincible prostration produced by his absolute belief in the reality of the dreadful vision that he had seen at the mask ball which suggested to the physician the gravest doubts about the case he saw with dismay that the patient showed no anxiety as he got stronger except on one subject he was eagerly desirous of seeing the Neena every day by his bedside but as soon as he was assured that his wish should be faithfully complied with he seemed to care for nothing more even when they proposed in the hope of rousing him to an exhibition of something like pleasure that the girl should read to him for an hour every day out of one of his favorite books he only showed a languid satisfaction weeks passed away and still do what they would they could not make him so much as smile one Dana Nina had begun to read to him as usual but had not proceeded far before Marta and Grisanti informed her that he had fallen into a doze she ceased with a sigh and sat looking at him sadly as he lay near her faint and pale and mournful in his sleep miserably altered from what he was when she first knew him it had been a hard trial to watch by his bedside in the terrible time of his delirium but it was a harder trial still to look at him now and to feel less and less hopeful with each succeeding day while her eyes and thoughts were still compassionately fixed on him the door of the bedroom open and the doctor came in followed by Andrea D Urbino who share in a strange adventure with the yellow mask caused him to feel a special interest in Fabio's progress toward recovery asleep I see and sighing in his sleep said the doctor going to the bedside the grand difficulty with him he continued turning to DRB no remains precisely what it was I have hardly left a single means untried of rousing him from that fatal depression yet for the last fortnight he has not advanced a single step it is impossible to shake his conviction of the reality of that face which he saw or rather which he thinks he saw when the yellow mask was removed and as long as he persists in his own shocking view of the case so long he will lie there getting better no doubt as to his body but worse as to his mind I suppose poor fellow he is not in a fit state to be reasoned with on the contrary like all men with a fixed delusion he has plenty of intelligence to appeal to on every point except the one point on which he is wrong I have argued with him vainly by the hour together he possesses unfortunately an acute nervous sensibility and a vivid imagination and besides he has as I suspect been superstitiously brought up as a child it would be probably useless to argue rationally with him on certain spiritual subjects even if his mind was in perfect health he has a good deal of the mystic and the dreamer in his composition and science and logic are but broken reeds to depend upon with men of that kind does he merely listened to you when you reason with him or does he attempt to answer he has only one form of answer and that is unfortunately the most difficult of all to dispose of whenever I tried to convince him of his delusion he invariably retorts by asking me for a rational explanation of what happened to him at the mask ball now neither you nor I though we firmly believe that he has been the dupe of some infamous conspiracy have been able as yet to penetrate thoroughly into this mystery of the yellow mask our common sense tells us that he must be wrong in taking his view of it and that we must be right in taking ours but if we could not give him actual tangible proof of that if we can only theorize when he asked us for an explanation it is but too plain in his present condition that every time we remonstrate with him on the subject we only fix him in his delusion more and more firmly it is not for want of perseverance on my part said DRB no after a moment of silence that we are still left in the dark ever since the extraordinary statement of the coachman who drove the woman home I have been inquiring and investigating I have offered the reward of two hundred scooty for the discovery of her I have myself examined the servants of the palace the night watchman at the compa Santo the police books the lists of keepers of hotels and lodging houses to hit on some trace of this woman and I have failed in all directions if my poor friends perfect recovery does indeed depend on his delusion being combated by actual proof I fear we have but little chance of restoring him so far as I am concerned I confess myself at the end of my resources I hope we are not quite conquered yet returned the doctor the proofs we want may turn up when we least expect them it is certainly a miserable case he continued mechanically laying his fingers on the sleeping man's pulse there he lies wanting nothing now but to recover the natural elasticity of his mind and here we stand at his bedside unable to relieve him of the weight that is pressing his faculties down I repeated signor Andreea nothing will rouse him from his delusion that he is the victim of a supernatural interposition but the production of some startling practical proof of his error at present he is in the position of a man who has been in prison from his birth in a dark room and who denies the existence of daylight if we cannot open the shutters and show him the sky outside we shall never convert him to a knowledge of the truth saying these words the doctor turned to lead the way out of the room and observed the nough Nina who had moved from the bedside on his entrance standing near the door he stopped to look at her shook his head good-humouredly and called to marta who happened to be occupied in an adjoining room signor Amara said the doctor I think you told me some time ago that you're pretty and careful little assistant lives in your house pray does she take much walking exercise very little signor de Torre she goes home to her sister when she leaves the palace very little walking exercise indeed I thought so her pale cheeks and heavy eyes told me as much now my dear said the doctor addressing naina you are a very good girl and I am sure you will attend to what I tell you go out every morning before you come here and take a walk in the fresh air you are too young not to suffer by being shut up in closed rooms every day unless you get some regular exercise take a good long walk in the morning or you will fall into my hands as a patient and be quite unfit to continue your attendance here now sing your Andrea I am ready for you mind my child I walk every day in the open air outside the town or you will fall ill take my word for it the Nina promised comply but she spoke rather absently and seemed scarcely conscious of the kind familiarity which marked the doctor's manner the truth was that all her thoughts were occupied with what he had been saying by Fabia's bedside she had not lost one word of the conversation while the doctor was talking of his patient and of the conditions on which his recovery depended oh if that proof which would cure him could only be found she thought to herself as she stole back anxiously to the bedside when the room was empty on getting home that day she found a letter waiting for her and was greatly surprised to see that it was written by no less a person than the master sculptor Luca lomi it was very short simply informing her that he had just returned to Pisa and that he was anxious to know when she could sit to him for a new bust a commission from a rich foreigner at maples nanine had debated with herself for a moment whether she should answer the letter in the hardest way to her by writing or in the easiest way in person and decided on going to the studio and telling the master sculptor that it would be impossible for her to serve him as a model at least for some time to come it would have taken her a long hour to say this with due propriety on paper it would only take her a few minutes to say it with her own lips so she put on her mantilla again and departed for the studio on arriving at the gate and ringing the bell a thought suddenly occurred to her which she wondered had not struck her before was it not possible that she might meet father Rocco in his brother's workroom it was too late to retreat now but not too late to ask before she entered if the priest was in the studio accordingly when one of the workmen opened the door to her she inquired first very confusedly and anxiously her father Rocco hearing that he was not with his brother then she went tranquil enough to make her apologies to the master sculptor she did not think it necessary to tell him more than that she was now occupied everyday by nursing duties in a sick room and that it was consequently out of her power to attend at the studio Luca lomi expressed and evidently felt great disappointment at her failing him as a model and tried hard to persuade her that she might find time enough if she chose to sit to him as well as to nurse the sick person the more she resisted his arguments and entreaties the more obstinately he reiterated them he was dusting his favorite busts and statues after his long absence with a feather brush when she came in and he continued this occupation all the while he was talking earning a fresh plea to induce the Nina to reconsider her refusal to sit at every fresh piece of sculpture he came to and always receiving the same resolute apology from her as she slowly followed him down the studio toward the door arriving thus at the lower end of the room Lucas topped with a fresh argument on his lips before his statue of Minerva he had dusted it already but he lovingly returned to dusted again it was his favourite work the only good likeness although it did assume to represent a classical subject of his dead daughter that he possessed he had refused to part with it for Madalena sake and as he now approached it with his brush for the second time he absently ceased speaking and mounted on a stool to look at the face near and blow some specks of dust off the forehead the Nina thought this a good opportunity of escaping from brother importuning she was on the point of slipping away to the door with a word of farewell when a sudden exclamation from Luca Lumi arrested her plaster cried the master sculptor looking intently at that part of the hair of the statue which lay lowest on the poor head plaster here he took out his penknife as he spoke and removed a tiny morsel of some white substance from an intersting twofolds of the hair where it touched the face it is plaster he exclaimed excitedly somebody has been taking a cast from the face of my statue he jumped off the stool and looked all round the studio with an expression of suspicious inquiry I must have this cleared up he said my statues were left under Rocco's care and he is answerable if there has been any stealing of cast from any one of them I must question him directly Annina seeing that he took no notice of her felt that she might now easily affect her retreat she opened the studio door and repeated for the 20th time at least that she was sorry she could not sit to him I am sorry to child he said irritably looking about for his hat he found it apparently just as no Nina was going out for she heard him called to one of the workmen in the inner studio and ordered the man to say if anybody wanted him that he had gone to father Rocco's lodgings end of section 46 recording by Warren Cody Gurnee Illinois | Priceless Audiobooks | UCly1zcKPGzGW9wZMCZodWOA | 2017-06-14 | Creative Commons Attribution

a student at a cole grand morgan in thunder bay tested positive for covid19 my heart goes out to the student the parents and all those affected and when i saw this news all i could think is this conservative government needs to get its act together they had no plan we knew all summer a second wave was coming yet where were they for parents in my riding no plan means there are no good choices parents can send their children to school where cases are rising at the same time fewer people are allowed to get a cova test and there are few resources the other option keeping children at home requires internet in many parts of my riding there is no internet or no high-speed internet or it's simply unaffordable barbara saxberg copied me on a petition from oliver papoons sent to tbaytel about the lack of internet service tbaytel responded that they are waiting on this government to decide if they will fund high-speed internet to 1752 addresses so there you have it oncova testing on education choices for parents and on rural internet this government needs a plan enough is enough and now is the time to act thank you the next statement the member for brantford brandt thank you speaker today i am pleased to rise to bring attention to a very special anniversary for one of my constituents i just want to apologize for being six months late because of the delay with covet dr john van der tun is a concert organist with an exceptional talent he has distinguished himself not just by his organ skills but also by the fact that he can play so well while being blind from birth doctor vandertunt began his career at age 12. since that time he has studied around the world with some of the greatest organists and performed in some of the most noteworthy locations he honed his craft at a young age in places such as paris amsterdam in the united states and right here at home in canada at the university of western ontario in london he is known as an outstanding recital organist and memorizes his repertoire from braille or by ear again he has performed in locations around the world he is now this year celebrating his 50th anniversary as a concert organist to clarify it has been 50 years since his first complete organ recital at age 12. this is certainly something to celebrate for the past 50 years we have been fortunate to have the music of dr vandertunt standing sounding throughout churches and concert halls in canada and around the world thank you speaker thank you member statements the member for hamilton thank you speaker over the past few weeks we've watched the government's awful school reopening plan unfold we've seen the government vote against our motion for safer smaller class sizes that would have capped class sizes at 15 students and now we're seeing covet 19 cases rising fast we have 240 confirmed cases in dozens of schools around the province in hamilton i have heard from the p from many parents who feel their child is at risk of falling behind i've also heard from parents of special needs children not getting the one-on-one support their child needs and educational assistants that support these kids have told me that they are stretched much too thin teachers and education workers are burning the candle at both ends trying to provide in-class and online learning and ensure that students don't fall behind further in hamilton school buses buses are being rationed the boards are rotating buses bus schedules because this year we have cancelled 17 routes due to a shortage of drivers and these buses are packed full of kids so cohorting and distancing is impossible at the end of the day parents and students are feeling the impact they're wondering where is the government as cases of covid19 are on the rise again why won't this government shrink class sizes like the experts recommend families should never have to choose between their kids safety and their education but that is exactly what this government is forcing them to do thank you member statements the member for perth wellington thank you speaker speaker on friday the united way here uh perth heron held their semi-virtual campaign kickoff event the video presentation featured campaign co-chairs martin and catherine ritzman along with executive director ryan herb they spoke about some of the in in un ignorable issues we face they share stories about these experiencing poverty homelessness and social isolation these issues are really about people people in our community who are experiencing hardship meeting their needs takes effort and leadership we have that in the united way and all the organizations they support it also takes financial resources as part of friday's event the united way announced its most ambitious local fundraising campaign goal ever 1 million hundred and sixty two thousand two hundred dollars ryan herb gave a few examples of the kind of help they can can provide we want to be able to help people who might be experiencing a challenge right here and right now he said maybe they need a bit of help paying their rent maybe they need a bit of help with paying for that car repair bill so they can get to their job and don't lose it in response to last year's fundraising goals the community stepped up worked places of all sizes hundreds of them made donations let's encourage each other to do it again this year i'm confident we will do it again but because that's the kind of community we are the need is great but so is our collective capacity to give to everyone involved in the campaign thank you for making our community stronger thank you speaker [Applause] next the member for brampton north thank you mr speaker my motion calling on the province to provide assistance to peel public health passed last week and the government so far has failed to deliver the help that should have come by now help that would have supported more testing more community outreach and more proactive workspace workplace inspections what we need is unrestricted funding of the provincial component to hire various staff that can continue to supports and i'll name the staff that we require six full-time equivalent public health inspectors 10 case and contact managers to support covid now but also to support other communicable diseases once the pandemic is over particularly given the backlog to date and concerns of spread as well having more permanently would allow flexibility between the coveted response and other infectious diseases we require eight immunization coordinators to support influenza and covid19 vaccinations one analyst one coordinator to support harm reduction efforts we have seen opioid overdoses also surge during the pandemic additional data coordinators epidemiologists and analysts all to support public reporting of data public education around what we are seeing in respect of clusters so long story short mr speaker at least 26 full-time equivalence is what we need which would come up to a commitment of around 2 million dollars from the province all of this would go to supporting the continued control of coveted rollout of mass immunization program as well as protecting against influenza thank you mr speaker [Applause] thank you the next member statement the member for etobicoke lakeshore thank you mr speaker last year at this time i had the privilege to speak at the national police peace officers memorial run kickoff the event was held right here at queen's park the memorial run honors the hundreds of police and peace officers who have died in the line of duty last year's event saw runners start here at queen's park and run along the 460 kilometer route to the canadian police and peace office memorial in our nation's capital this year the event was cancelled due to in toronto due to copic 19 restrictions and a muted ceremony was held in ottawa this is a chance to reflect and honor those peace officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their community this year four more names were sadly added to the honor roll including that of rcmp constable heidi stevenson who died in the shooting rampage in april and nova scotia every day peace officers face challenging circumstances difficult decisions and complex workloads often their work is silent preventative and unseen and sometimes their jobs require them to put themselves in harm's way to keep others safe it's heartening to know that we can always count on our frontline responders to keep us safe thank you to all our police and peace officers for your service to your country and to your community thank you thank you very much the next member statement the member for ottawa west nepean thank you very much mr speaker for those of us who are from

PhRx3dpG3vU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhRx3dpG3vU | Self-Sabotage - Talk Only | so self-sabotage I think on some level everybody does it to themselves in some way okay we all agree on that something that's really big stuff it really really rocks your world or other time this is little little piddly little things that just affect your your life you know negatively so basically even things like self sabotaging you know we're in some way unconsciously causing dissension or disruptions or you know agitations irritations things like that it's you know like again it's all about us you know so you know some some people's realities or teachings they might say that you know you're 50% responsible or accountable for your your world and what happens and I'm going to here tell you straight up it's a hundred percent sorry that means everything that you are experiencing and I do mean everything you are creating it on some level okay and I know to you look at your life and you also your stories about little kids that maybe get abused and you go well how can they be creating that how can they be calling that in okay well if you start tracking who they are the soul of who they are and we start going back into their life stream remember we forget when we come in these physical bodies you're not remembering that you agreed to be violated or beaten or raped or murdered or you know abused you don't remember that but you're you agreed to that at a time when you wanted to know yourself in different ways so we're all perpetrators we're all victims on some level and the more you really get that then it easier it is to relax into your life experience but the more you relax into your life experience then actually the more you're able to let go of and release in the deep deep deep recesses of the subconscious when you are resisting and fighting your life and the experiences that you are having then you're also going to be resisting the energy that could be released because any time you're in that know you can feel in your body and agitation there's an actual physical sensation that you will feel inside when you are resisting whatever is I don't care if it's a sun shining or not shining if you're not liking it you're resisting what is but you can feel that agitation inside when you're resisting the the actual energy of what is doesn't matter what it is then to clear stuff out you're still in resistance to allowing these energies to present and in a clearing in order to really go deep part of the process is that you relax into and allow yourself to feel what it feels like okay for example let's just say okay the sun's it's shining right now but we know maybe later today there could be some thundershowers so let's just say that I'm just like I don't want it to rain I don't want no more showers I don't want no more great clouds so I'm in this no resist resist resist so when I am resisting how can I possibly know what it feels like underneath the resistance the emotion that's there if I'm in a state of resistance so if I allow myself to just go okay I can feel or I'm not liking the idea that you know it could get cloudy again today and it could start to rain I can feel where I don't like that okay so now rather than going into the resistance of that now I'm going to let myself just feel into okay well what's going on what am I really feeling here how what what's what am I feeling inside that's causing this agitation so what I do is like I think about K it's gonna start coming clouding over and then I let myself feel how does that make me feel and when I feel that I can go all makes me feel there's a little bit of frustration oh I can feel some frustration hmm so now I go okay I can feel that so if I can let myself feel that frustration and just allow it to be there then what will happen is what's underneath that will present okay so then I feel into the frustration allow it then I sink into that a little bit and then I stay with it and just feeling into that then I can start to feel oh maybe there's a little bit of sadness okay so then I let myself have that sadness and then once I'm in that feeling state then I can feel what's underneath that and maybe underneath that there might be anger okay so the more we allow ourselves to just feel into whatever's presenting then the more we become available to allow the unconscious energies to present which is what we want in a clearing where after the unconscious stuff okay so let's go back to people coming into the world and forgetting you know all your life times you forget and then you come in and even in the womb there's things that you've agreed to experience let's just say for example someone that came comes into the the womb and then the mother tries to abort even that is agreed upon even that experience is part of our evolution part of our growth but we don't remember that's part of the problem as we forget so in the forgetting we think we're victims and then you did that to me you're causing that you hurt me blame blame blame and reality is there's no one to blame not even yourself it's all about experience because an experience is where we get to know life we get to know who we are in different experiences in it and it reveals at soul levels but it also allows the soul level to grow not just a human body but the soul level is growing okay so so we come in and someone comes in and the first thing that happens within the first couple of weeks is the parent tries to abort the baby it doesn't work baby's going to be born well all that trauma is still lodged in Saiki of that baby even though it's only two weeks of life it doesn't even have honey any form okay but it's still the trauma gets anchored in and they come into the world and then in some ways when that cut deep rejection it feels like a rejection okay if your mother's trying to get rid of you how are you going to interpret that you're not wanted you're not loved you don't belong here you're not important you don't matter you might as well get out okay so you get that anchored in and then that becomes the foundation of your life in the world and then other things happen okay so maybe you call in some kind of abuse maybe some other kinds of rejections maybe someone you know literally causes you harm or you know so it becomes physical so there's all these different things that happen and you maybe there's a you know even in the family maybe there's a molestation or maybe there's a you know an abuse of thing that happens or maybe you're abandoned or rejected or given away so all of those are all the foundations but you've already called that all in you've already agreed to how these experiences but once again you don't remember okay you're not meant to remember you're meant to to clear stuff and get it out of your energy field by releasing the energy sometimes it means releasing emotions sometimes it means releasing the energies that aren't you and the interferences that are in everyone's body is astounding okay you know a typical some of the demon shamanic practices and other modalities they might indicate that you might have a couple entities inside your body maybe five entities maybe ten you know but that's getting pretty high up there okay but basically when we start scanning the energy field and when you really start opening your awareness and abilities and and and are able to track the more subtle energies you're going to find that people have hundreds sometimes over a thousand other people inside of them okay all of those people have emotions just think about this think about your own life think about what you go through the thing about your feelings your emotions okay when you have a reaction to something that energy that you feel pretend like now okay you just died your body's gone but you the essence of who you are is eternal but rather than going to delight you come into my body because there's a matching frequency well now I'm going to feel your feelings and your thoughts strong in my body and I'm gonna think it's me well just let's compound that by a few hundred other people that have come into your body with all of their feelings their beliefs their their judgments their worries or concerns their addictions you know all their stuff and now they're in your body I can't tell you how many times just taking out even one entity completely shifted and changed someone's life because that one entity was really strong meaning that it was living through the body as though it was their own and it took over in a sense and in that you know the person that the body belonged to yes they were present but this other energy was so strong that they didn't know the difference in net when it was gone it was like everything changed and then there's all the other entities inside that we also removed because there's going to be hundreds of them at least fifty or more with the same frequency same thoughts feelings energies emotions beliefs because energy attracts the same frequency so whatever you grow up with whatever your energies are whatever your emotions are whatever your beliefs are whatever your thoughts are whenever your fears your phobias your addictions whatever they are you're gonna draw in to you the same and then it gets even more more and more and more more more okay so as we cleared these out then more of your authentic self is here we also bring more of you back in so even when you have all these traumatic experiences you actually leave your body I mean pieces of you essence of you leaves your body when you think about really intense experiences when it really scared you like even as a child if you're a child and you got someone big that's abusive or a big energy that's frightening or scares you I guarantee you little pieces of you are going to leave and they're not going to come back until it's safe and it's not going to be safe if your body's inundated with other beings I mean when I'm doing retrieving and bringing pieces back in I'll find pieces of you or whoever I'm working with and sometimes they're ready to come back in and sometimes they're not coming back in till I do some more clearing and then then you're more able to come back in but I mean it's like anything who wants to come into a traumatic a trauma a fear Bay a fear experience with whether beans that are inside your body you know okay check this out sometimes I've actually had the perpetrator of another being and both those beings were inside of somebody's body am I making sense okay so they're both dead but the one who perpetrated and harmed this other one they're both in there so then there's a battle inside the perpetrator is in there or the other person's in there too that's really afraid so never feel safe so what happens in this human body that's yours you're going to feel unsafe in the world you're not going to trust people you're always going to have some kind of agitation running inside your body because you're feeling both of them that one person that got you know perpetrated against is always going to be afraid because the perpetrator is in there with you can you imagine I'd be like coming into a room and there's the one who are you and what you're always gonna be on guard right you're always gonna be waiting for something to happen in that fear in your body so buy these beans inside of your body and they're inside both of them are inside you don't know that that's what's happening you're just having this experience now they could have been drawn in because as a child perhaps you were abused in some way or we're afraid at times in some way so you had that frequency that you were echoing out to your brainwaves and then the the energy itself so it was a perfect match for that person to come in because the frequency is the same and then the perpetrator just followed that one in and you know so there you are you got this stuff this battle inside and you think it's you and it's not so as we take these out of your body then bring back more of you than who you are more of you it gets to shine okay so with today's topic the self-sabotage just imagine if you had all these incarnation experiences all your different lifetimes and each lifetime you learn something new and what I mean by that is learning something new is you have a new experience that you perhaps didn't have in that lifetime Anuak knew that something that's caused you to feel insecure to feel afraid you know see we don't need to be concerned about your divine light because that's pure nothing's going to touch that but as you close your heart and protect your heart then you lose you lose your sense of connection with self okay then we start to look externally for connection and for oneness and for acceptance and love and our bodies are still are full of trauma so as we're unraveling it's it's all about the the relaxing into and also letting the energies come forward so if you've got a lot of trauma inside sometimes that's really difficult to do so that's why when we when we start the clearing and I have you just kind of feel into something you know we're just gonna go nice and easy we're not going to take you into trauma but we are going to release the trauma because all I really need from you is just be with that sensation be with the feelings so as you're evolving I'm kind of jumping around a little bit but as you're evolving and you've made all these all these experiences that you've collected over lifetimes what you're really trying to do and this is this is that the key teaching here I'm going to tell you straight up this is key you are literally believing that in this lifetime you're gonna unravel it okay you're gonna do it this time now remember you're up in the in this beautiful light your impure awareness there's no physicality there's no emotions you're this divine conscious energy okay this is where you make these agreements so you're not thinking about the physical stuff you're not remembering that okay when I get into the physical body it's gonna be really intense no it's like this time around it's gonna happen liberation freedom okay this time this time five hundred lifetimes later nine hundred lifetimes later it's this time it's this time okay so you've got all this energy in your soul imprint like if you could see your soul imprint it's gonna be just full full full of darker energy because you've had so many experiences that you didn't release but like I said this time you're believing you're gonna release it so in order to release any trauma any shock any suffering any pain any loss any rejections emotional pain you have to know it so what happens when you have an experience in life what's the first thing you do don't go there avoid rise above it push it down okay check this out this is way back back in when was that back in the early 90s like 93 94 I used to go to Alaska and I would work with the Inuits up there and I had a certain tribe that I worked with one of the elders we were getting ready to do a major work shop on emotional clearing when the elders I was speaking and I was sharing that you know in order to release energy we have to know we need to feel it that means surrender to it allow the energy to move through the body he says to me if I believe what you are telling me then my whole life is a lie and I cannot do that see he was someone who worked with hundreds of people in prison native you know the Inuits in prison as you know a lot of people on alcoholism a lot of abuse on a sexual stuff so he's working with them what he was teaching them was to rise above it put it behind you okay even psychiatrists don't take you there when you if you know they don't want you to get emotional they want you to put it behind you I'm gonna tell you right now you put it behind you it never goes away you die and it's still with you and here you are again okay this time I'll do it okay so the key is using everyday life because you're going to get an opportunity every day and some level to find something inside that could be cleared so by using your reactions not making it about somebody else but let's just say an event happens something happens you have a conflict with someone and you're feeling all this energy and you want to make them wrong you said that you did that you're making me feel this way why are you doing this to me okay we all do it we've all done it till we don't so now you know that thing that says even other teachings they say point it back in here it's all about me that's only the top step if you don't take any further nothing changes so the key is once you're in that feeling state and you see and you pull your energy off with a person who you think has caused you to feel this way because you're going to do that you're going to want to make them wrong and fight over it and your own self but as you really come in and you start going okay all right all right all right how am I feeling okay right now I'm feeling agitated I'm angry stay with that all right fine I'm angry good go under it now once you stay with that now you can go underneath that my feelings got hurt oh okay stay with that stay with that feeling so now you're feeling where your feelings got hurt then you start feeling that sadness okay when she starts accepting and relaxing into a feeling you can keep going deeper and deeper and deeper okay but you have to surrender to each feeling state sometimes to the point where you are literally crying to the point where you feel like your heart is breaking it can feel like your heart is shattering okay but you stay there you don't go away the moment you have thoughts you're no longer accessing the subconscious you're no longer releasing you might be crying but you are not releasing energy this is why people go through the recycling I've tried it you know for years and years and years yeah you did but you didn't go underneath it you never went to the surrender the surrender is the complete loss of mind thoughts there are no thoughts at all you are the energy the emotion so fully so completely that nothing else exists that's when your unraveling the subconscious that's when you're releasing okay I actually had a woman this was back in the 90s as well early 90s and she went to a past life of literally being attacked by like a tiger and she started screaming and she wanted you know in the session she wanted to just pop out and I was like no I kept her in it I kept her in it and she did it she stayed in the experience she went through the trauma she released the horror of being torn apart of being um you know starting to be eaten alive and and she went through that and so as that shifted in her body we released the trauma in her body and after that session I mean her whole life changed drastically okay because she released the trauma so just imagine hundreds of lifetimes of different life traumas that are still lodged in your energy doesn't mean you have to go through each one but they're going to present you can use your everyday experiences because it's going to feel the same you're in survival okay you feel threatened on level so as you release and let go and let these energies move it frees up and releases so this is so you're actually releasing all this trauma and then energies can leave the body much easier entities go easier because there's nothing for them to hold on to anymore and another thing too is the clearer your energy field is the less energy can attach to it so if you have all this emotional wounding you're going to be very reactive if someone looks at you weird you're going to think they're judging you and you're going to have a reaction okay but as you get clearer doesn't matter what someone does they could be looking at you and that making faces or whatever and it's like you won't feel anything because you don't have anything for it to attach to so Syrians are awesome way to come back to the true divine light that you are what's really close you have to do anything you just get to sit here or lay here and relax and go into a little bit of sensation of feeling and then you know the magic happens you're feeling shifted okay so the reasons we are self sabotaging and coming back to our topic today is if you have all these experiences and you're anchored in like for example the child that comes in and the parent tries to abort they got all those issues unworthiness not love all that if you've got that running why would you possibly let yourself have joy and happiness and success and abundance and relationships and all the things that we're really here to experience you're not you're gonna get in the way you're gonna stop it because you won't let yourself have it because on some level you're believing you must not deserve it and it may have been a lifetime you know twenty times back where you you know anchored in that up don't deserve to have love don't deserve to have success wherever you started it you just kept recruiting it over and over and over each lifetime reinforcing it - now here you are your mind is saying oh yes bring it on I want love I want success I want relationships you know I want all these wonderful things and yet even when you say those words you can feel in your body a block can't you like if you were to say right now let's just just in your own mind okay what do you want most is a relationship is a success in a business is it connection with friends is it just having just being your own self you know what is what would be your you know your desire okay so when you think about that desire right now let's go ahead and just think about it right now okay whatever that is notice what your body feels like you can feel you're not going to let it in can't you like if you tuned in and really feel you can feel something's going on inside its physical isn't it it's a physical sensation it's a emotional sensation it's a blocking there's no way Oh check this out okay someone just presented sorry guys this happens sometimes someone I'll be doing this and something will present so I'm actually looking at some entity inside of someone's body literally saying no no no no like this okay I won't tell you who it doesn't really matter but that was out of here soon okay so when you just think about whatever your heart's desire is whatever that is feel the energy inside so this is what we're going to be going after today is these resistances these energies inside okay but keep in mind really it's like really important that you really get and acknowledge and really know you are the creator and your Creator incarnate your divine light and you are creating your reality 100% okay so once you start accepting that then you can no longer be going well he did this and she did that and they're the reason why in my life and how did you do that to me it's like nope I called you in I called you all in so that I can have this experience I could unravel and unwind it that's why I called it in that's another piece i ferment dimension so how you create your reality as you literally your frequencies are pulling to you even if it's across the globe you're going to pull to you the perfect person perfect situation to activate that feeling so you can be done with it so next time you have a reaction rather than going into the reaction remember oh I pulled this to me to caused this reaction so I could light it up so I could find it now I found it thank you hallelujah okay and then and then you go into the clearing aspect of it which brings me to another piece this is this weekend I'm thinking we've got healer heal thyself which means if you've got any sense of self or any senses at all and you take this probe this particular program program you're going to be able to clear a lot of stuff that I do okay all right so self sabotaging the best way to start pulling up what's inside of you that's interfering inside of you and it's going to be many many many things there's going to be implants it's going to be entities there's going to be dark force stuff is going to be minions it's going to be past life things all kinds of really cool things | Spiritual Acceleration | UCpeb8MHALpQiOSpEbZbkj_g | 2016-10-02 | Creative Commons Attribution

oEQhEkJI5uQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEQhEkJI5uQ | Real Estate Broker Course V. 2020 | so that's what I said technically I'm not the managing broker my corporation or LLC is and they said Raymond you act for us because they can't walk and talk and sign documents all right so if I moved out of state my corporation which just named another person Sarah you're getting ready to push the button or anyone Oh that were you pushing the speaker button I was it was breaking up for me but I have it's my network connection I'm yeah so I'm good independent contractor agreement by rule you guys are an independent contractor of me there's the rule Oh number six right here we can talk about it now go Lauren depth I didn't want to get into it but it's right there so in the death of a in the event of a death by a managing broker all of you guys that now work for me let's make this scenario you guys all are my agents every one of you have two or three listings if I die as the managing broker all of those listings go away remember death terminates listings we talked about one of the seven ways to terminated a listing and I told you it was death of either party and at that time I told you it was death of me or the client because I didn't want to get into the managing broker thing yet but now you're going to see what's happening so if it's an individual who is not a corporation and they died all of the listings go away all of the stuff that you have pended you have 90 days to close all right so let's go through an example let's say you've got your mom's house it was listed we got an offer we accepted the offer the property became pended you then listed your mom's neighbor's house which is listed I now have a car accident and until your neighbors listing would terminate immediately but because your mother's deal is already ended you can close that deal in the name of the module and group and you have to do it in the next 90 days during that period you could create your own trust account if you wanted to but you cannot do any new business because your license was attached to mine and I died you're going to have to go out and get a new managing broker so your neighbors listing that went away you actually go to their house take the modulus on and throw in the trash because we're not going to need that but then you say you know what I just signed up with Remax I now work for Remax I will bring you back a new listing we'll stick a new sign in the yard and you'll get a new listing under a Remax because I work for them now so you can't do new business until you re up with somebody you can start your own business if you're qualified if you've done two years of active duty and you've done your 24-hour course you can say well I'm not going to go or for anybody I'm just going to start Sarah's real estate and start my own company same thing would be true though you would go to your neighbors listing take the sign out throw it away put Sarah's real estate and it would be your own company all right letter e says the best part of the whole thing letter e says that if I die I still get my split if we're on a 50/50 split you don't get to go oh Raymond's dead he doesn't need his money no I still get my split because it goes for my estate all right so you see all these problems that can be created so now lisanna let's pick up that conversation so what happens now is when I go down to the Commission to get my managing broker's license they usually ask are you going to hold other people's license yes I am then we strongly suggest you go start a corporation and I'll see our partnership and we will give you that license of course I have to pay for it so that none of this ever happens so they give the managing brokers license to the real estate monkey LLC that LLC names Raymond to act like the managing broker and sign all the documents but now if I die did the managing broker die the answer is no the corporation didn't die so none of the listings go away you don't have to go start your own company you don't have to sign up with someone else you would literally say oh that's the same Raymond died now it's in in place and now you just keep going around about your business only ian's now active and we're walking and talking like the managing broker but it's still the real estate monkey that's why we did this so none of these things can ever happen but those laws are in place and I know for a fact they love the 90 days they love that question you get to work for 90 days now I told you earlier jokingly we'll get to it that you can only work for one Indiana broker at a time that's a real law this is a loophole to that law if I truly did die and it was an individual with no corporation and the listings went away but your mom's house was pended and you went and joined Remax you literally would still close your mom's house in the name of the module and group and the check would come in the name of the module in group because that's where it was when it ended even though you just signed a new listing under Remax so technically in that one scenario should it never happened you actually could be working for to for at least 90 days you would finish closing the stuff that you did but the new stuff would be your new brokerage all right thumbs up you all right let's talk a little bit about the recovery fund now in your book letter key the recovery fund goes through 14 numbers I'm going to do this differently because I think I do a much better job than the book does I'm going to cover these in a better fashion it seems more logical to me so the real estate recovery fund first of all there are two things that have to happen before the recovery fund even can be in place in the past we have talked about no harm no foul and I told you that that's not necessarily true in this particular case it literally is true for the recovery fund even be considered there has to be harm done this is not a punitive damages kind of thing you guys remember what punitive damages me punitive damages mean penalty or punishment that's not what this is talking about the recovery fund deals with actual financial harm the client lost earnest money the clients earnest money was stolen they're out $5,000 there is actual harm in there this is not being Ross did a bad job I want him punished no that's not what this is that would be a period of situation all right not you Ross different Ross you never do a bad job all right so this actually has to have harm and the second thing is the person who did the bad thing they actually have to be a licensed realtor they cannot be a scam artist that they told you they were licensed they couldn't have conned you into believing they were licensed those aren't our guys we don't care so for the recovery fund to even take place there actually has to be alarm and the person who did the bad thing actually has to be licensed that's the only two things that are required now here's how it works in this recovery fund we have six hundred thousand dollars it is stored with the treasurer of the state of Indiana we still control the purse strings but it's in their bank if there is a payout because someone made a claim and the Commission paid them the claim and this goes below four hundred and fifty thousand dollars they will seek to replenish this money guess who they will seek to get it from lashana you're both your fingers were pointing in one direction they should point in both directions they are going to everybody that's licensed to recover the money so people that are actively licensed like me and people that are newly licensed in that year like you guys so if there was a payout this year they would seek money from me and you when you make your application and we literally are our brother's keeper in this particular situation one of our fellow brethren who was licensed did something wrong and caused the Commission to have to pay a fee to a client we potentially will have to cover that and they literally would go oh one hundred and fifty thousand there's 75 thousand of us everybody give me $2 and that's how they get it back up to 600,000 now when they tell us to give them money this is over and above our license fee so our license is 60 bucks we would actually be charged 62 dollars this year 60 ever going for the license and the two dollars going back into the recovery bud so it is a fee to us over the top are on top of our license fee now if it is in the bank it accrues interest right so if it goes up to 750,000 now those numbers should be easy to remember because it's the same number either direction plus or minus 150 grand if it goes up to 750,000 guess what they do with the surplus I love it when you your first thought in your head and I know every one of you did it was you get a refund no the state never comes off of money all right you we do not get money back they actually sweep it over into the general fund that we talked about and then the general fund would use it to pay the real estate commission their per diem pay the travel they could pay continuing ad they could do advertising about the industry all of that but we do not give money okay so now when they pay out they pay out in like an insurance policy they pay out $20,000 maximum per incident 20,000 maximum per incident fifty thousand maximum per lifetime of that agent so it looks like an insurance policy twenty thousand per incident five thousand per lifetime guarantee bet my firstborn that's a question on the state exam its twenty thousand per incident fifty thousand per lifetime so real quick if the first person gets twenty grand and he steals money from a second person they get twenty grand and he steals 20 grand from the third person how much do they get it because fifties the max are gonna pay on that guy if he steals twenty five thousand in earnest money from a person how much do they get twenty because 20 is the maximum per incident all right now if he feels 16 they're only gonna give him 16 and typically if the harm that I'm talking about let's go ahead and get blunt this is a managing broker stealing the earnest money and going away believe it or not it's happened four or five times there was a guy the last guy that remembers name was Randy keys here in Indianapolis stole all the internists money out of the earnest money account realize that earnest money accounts can grow very big if you have a lot of ages I mean if you've got my cheese two or three hundred agents and each one's putting 500 a thousand five thousand in you could have three four five hundred thousand dollars in the earnest money all right so it has happened and literally this is the read so this is the cure it's 20,000 per incident and 50,000 per lifetime now what they would do or what they can do is this let's say they stole 25 and this guy still lost quantity and this guy lost 22 that's really going to be stupid hard numbers I don't know they would pay him 20 they would pay him 20 and then him dead that's 50 that doesn't seem very fair does it that the one guy lost 20 would only got 10 back what they can do is they can prorate this and say okay 25 out of 65 is some percentage so he's going to get 17 back he's going to get like 15 back and he may end up getting 15 back as well I made those numbers up because I didn't want to do the math so this is called the pro rata version where they would simply divide it and that way everybody gets a little fair yes he lost a large number but he got more towards what he should have got and the Commission can decide how to pay it off any way they want all right how did I do that I'm going to go that seems pretty cool now when they pay out they only pay out twice a year they pay out on June the 30th and they pay out on December 31st why do you think those two dates first half of the year second half of the year this allows for if a broker steals money and somebody files the suit they could file here and here and here and all be considered one lawsuit because it's all in the first half of the money you know you may not realize your money was stolen until March I may not until April and Shana didn't realize it until May so because those are all in the first half of the year they would put those together into one lawsuit and they would do that math division that we just talked about so they only write the checks twice a year June 30th December 31st and that is one because they only wanted to write checks twice a year but that allows people to get grouped together all right now there are time limits as to which you can make the claim you have to club making oh well let's talk about for that this is not the first step in the scenario this is the last step in the scenario the real estate Recovery Fund is not first meaning if a men if a managing broker stole my earnest money I don't go to the Commission and say pay me back no I actually have to prove he stole my money and how do you prove someone stole your money you have to go to court so I literally have to go to court first and get the judge to say yes that guy stole your money and convict him of that crime before first and then I have to try and collect my money from that managing broker if that doesn't happen then I can come to the commission but it makes sense if you think about it remember we're innocent until proven guilty so if he stole my money literally I think he stole my money judge hadn't said he had yet so I got to go to the court first get the judge to give me the award try and collect the award if I can't then I go to the Commission and get paid you I see deer in the headlight looks or we have gang so far and because of that there are time frames we have time frames so you have one year to file a judgement from whatever the date of the crime happened and then you have one year to make application to the Commission after the judgment to get the award so it is time sensitive it is time sensitive you can't wait forever you they have to try and collect from the guy that stole it so if that all happens and they come to the Commission and they make a claim and like I said they reason they do this for these two 1/2 of years this so that if multiple people come you know Shana got court two days ahead of me I want to make sure that I still give my money so they group us all together in this part of the year so that we can all be grouped together now they pay out and then they do what I told you they send us money and they say ok we had to pay out three thousand dollars this year so everybody give us two dollars and we will replenish the money guess what they're going to do to that dude's license they are not going to do what you think they're going to do they are only going to suspend it they are not going to revoke it why do you think they want to keep him in suspension rather than revoking his license they need all right Christina if they can still collect money from him exactly mm-hmm I'm sure that's what Sean was gonna say because I her to come her to say that if they revoke his license and kick him out they are never going to collect from him they want to suspend it so that he has a chance to pay the money back and he pays 12% interest and when he pays it back then he can get his license reinstated and practice again all right so they don't want to revoke it and get rid of him because he'll say well if I've got no chance of ever getting my license back why go back but here is the super big kick in the ding-ding and I've said that before but here is the ultimate one guess what happens also his managing brokers license gets suspended so if it were you they would suspend your license until you pay it back they also would suspend my license till it gets paid back so guess who's going to cover it probably me because I've got all these other agents that were responsible for I've got all these listings so not only do they suspended the person's license they suspend his managing brokers license until it gets repaid yes so at that point after you repay it did you avoid your contract with that broker Oh probably yeah Robin Hood that long for then okay yeah yeah it can be licensed somewhere else does someone have to step in to be the like the managing broker or whatever until you get your license back yeah in theory if we were a corporation or an LLC er or one of those yes I would have to step down and depending on while we were if we were like a partnership remember I just told you if one of them does they all do if we were a partnership we'd be screwed because now one of us lost their license in a member managed all of us have to so I would step down and let someone else come in that would be the only way because if I was an individual broker meaning I'm not working as a corporation I'm working as a sole proprietor then it would yeah I'd lose my license all the listings would go away all of that I literally know a managing broker who wrote a five thousand dollar check to a client to avoid all of this the client said that their agent Stoller earnest-money conjuring to writing the check to him directly rather than to the company and took the earnest money and left and the broker said how much was it she said like five he literally wrote her a check for five thousand and handed it to her because he knew in the long run he would probably end up having to pay for it at least this way they avoided all of that headache now I know that he tried to file a lawsuit against his agent but his agent split left Texas and I've seen this agent this website on Texas now still brokering real estate down there all right | REAL University |

famous books this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer visit librivox.org read by dennis sayers prefaces and prologues to famous books edited by charles w elliott part one of preface to the english dictionary by samuel johnson 1755 footnote for a sketch of johnson's life see the introduction to life of addison in the volume of english essays the interest of his preface to the great dictionary need hardly be pointed out since the work itself is a landmark in the history of our language the letter to chesterfield short though it is is a document of great importance in the freeing of literature from patronage and is in itself a notable piece of literature the preface to johnson's edition of shakespeare's plays not only explains the editor's conception of his task but contains what is perhaps the best appreciation of the dramatist written in the 18th century preface to the dictionary from a dictionary of the english language by samuel johnson part one it is the fate of those who toil at the lower employments of life to be rather driven by fear of evil than attracted by the prospect of good to be exposed to censure without hope of praise to be disgraced by miscarriage or punished for neglect where success would have been without applause and diligence without reward among these unhappy mortals is the writer of dictionaries whom mankind have considered not as the pupil but the slave of science the pyongyang of literature doomed only to remove rubbish and clear obstructions from the paths of learning and genius who press forward to conquest and glory without bestowing a smile on the humble drudge that facilitates their progress every other author may aspire to praise the lexicographer can only hope to escape reproach and even this negative recompense has been yet granted to very few i have notwithstanding this discouragement attempted a dictionary of the english language which while it was employed in the cultivation of every species of literature has itself been hitherto neglected suffered to spread under the direction of chance into wild exuberance resigned to the tyranny of time and fashion and exposed to the corruptions of ignorance and caprices of innovation when i took the first survey of my undertaking i found our speech copious without order and energetic without rules wherever i turned my view there was perplexity to be disentangled and confusion to be regulated choice was to be made out of boundless variety without any established principle of selection adulterations were to be detected without a settled test of purity and modes of expression to be rejected or received without the suffrages of any writers of classical reputation or acknowledged authority having therefore no assistance but from general grammar i applied myself to the perusal of our writers and noting whatever might be of use to ascertain or illustrate any word or phrase accumulated in time the materials of a dictionary which by degrees i reduced to method establishing to myself in the progress of the work such rules as experience and analogy suggested to me experience which practice and observation were continually increasing and analogy which though in some words obscure was evident in others in adjusting the orthography which has been to this time unsettled and fortuitous i found it necessary to distinguish those irregularities that are inherent in our tongue and perhaps co-evil with it from others which the ignorance or negligence of later writers has produced every language has its anomalies which though inconvenient and in themselves once unnecessary must be tolerated among the imperfections of human things and which require only to be registered that they may not be increased and ascertained that they may not be confounded but every language has likewise its improprieties and absurdities which it is the duty of the lexicographer to correct or prescribe as language was at its beginning merely oral all words of necessary or common use were spoken before they were written and while they were unfixed by any visible signs must have been spoken with great diversity as we now observe those who cannot read to catch sounds imperfectly and utter them negligently when this wild and barbarous jargon was first reduced to an alphabet every penman endeavored to express as he could the sounds which he was accustomed to pronounce or to receive and vitiated in writing such words as were already vitiated in speech the powers of the letters when they were applied to a new language must have been vague and unsettled and therefore different hands would exhibit the same sound by different combinations from this uncertain pronunciation arise in a great part the various dialects of the same country which will always be observed to grow fewer and less different as books are multiplied and from this arbitrary representation of sounds by letters proceeds that diversity of spelling observable in the saxon remains and i suppose in the first books of every nation which perplexes or destroys analogy and produces anomalous formations which being once incorporated can never be afterward dismissed or reformed of this kind are the derivatives length from long strength from strong darling from deer breath from broad from dry drought and from high height which milton in zeal for analogy writes h-i-g-h-t-h quid to exempt juvat spinis de pluribus una to change all would be too much and to change one is nothing this uncertainty is most frequent in the vowels which are so capriciously pronounced and so differently modified by accident or affectation not only in every province but in every mouth that to them as is well known to etymologists little regard is to be shown in the deduction of one language from another such defects are not errors in orthography but spots of barbarity impressed so deep in the english language that criticism can never wash them away these therefore must be permitted to remain untouched but many words have likewise been altered by accident or depraved by ignorance as the pronunciation of the vulgar has been weakly followed and some still continue to be variously written as authors differ in their care or skill of these it was proper to inquire the true orthography which i have always considered as depending on their derivation and have therefore referred them to their original languages thus i write enchant enchantment enchanter after the french and incantation after the latin thus entire e-n-t-i-r-e is chosen rather than i-n-t-i-r-e because it passed to us not from the latin integer but from the greek ancient of many words it is difficult to say whether they were immediately received from the latin or the french since at the time when we had dominions in france we had latin service in our churches it is however my opinion that the french generally supplied us for we have few latin words among the term of domestic use which are not french but many french which are very remote from latin even in words of which the derivation is apparent i have been often obliged to sacrifice uniformity to custom thus i write in compliance with a numberless majority convey and invade deceit and receipt fancy and phantom sometimes the derivative varies from the primitive as explain and explanation repeat and repetition some combinations of letters having the same power are used indifferently without any discoverable reason of choice as in choke c-h-o-a-k choke c-h-o-k-e soap s-o-a-p soap s-o-p-e fuel f-e-w-e-l fuel f-u-e-l and many others which i have sometimes inserted twice that those who search for them under either form may not search in vain in examining the orthography of any doubtful word the mode of spelling by which it is inserted in the series of the dictionary is to be considered as that to which i give perhaps not often rashly the preference i have left in the examples to every author his own practice unmolested that the reader may balance suffrages and judge between us but this question is not always to be determined by reputed or by real learning some men intent upon greater things have thought little on sounds and derivations some knowing in the ancient tongues have neglected those in which our words are commonly to be sought thus hammond writes festivalness for feasibleness because i suppose he imagined it derived immediately from the latin and some words such as dependent d-e-p-e-n-d-a-n-t dependent d e p e n d e n t dependence d e p e n d a n c e dependence d e p e n d e n c e vary their final syllable as one or other language is present to the writer in this part of the work where caprice has long wanted without control and vanity sought praise by petty reformation i have endeavored to proceed with the scholars reverence for antiquity and a grammarian's regard to the genius of our tongue i have attempted few alterations and among those few perhaps the greater part is from the modern to the ancient practice and i hope i may be allowed to recommend to those whose thoughts have been perhaps employed too anxiously on verbal singularities not to disturb upon narrow views or for minute propriety the orthography of their fathers it has been asserted that for the law to be known is of more importance than to be right change says hooker is not made without inconvenience even from worse to better there is in constancy and stability a general and lasting advantage which will always over balance the slow improvements of gradual correction much less ought our written language to comply with the corruptions of oral utterance or copy that which every variation of time or place makes different from itself and imitate those changes which will again be changed while imitation is employed in observing them this recommendation of steadiness and uniformity does not proceed from an opinion that particular combinations of letters have much influence on human happiness or that truth may not be successfully taught by modes of spelling fanciful and erroneous i am not yet so lost in lexicography as to forget that words are the daughters of earth and that things are the sons of heaven language is only the instrument of science and words are but the signs of ideas i wish however that the instrument might be less apt to decay and that signs might be permanent like the things which they denote in settling the orthography i have not wholly neglected the pronunciation which i have directed by printing an accent upon the acute or elevated syllable it will sometimes be found that the accent is placed by the author quoted on a different syllable from that marked in the alphabetical entries it is then to be understood that custom has varied and that the author has in my opinion pronounced wrong short directions are sometimes given where the sound of letters is regular and if they are sometimes omitted defect in such minute observations will be more easily excused than superfluity in the investigation both of the orthography and signification of words their etymology was necessarily to be considered and they were therefore to be divided into primitives and derivatives a primitive word is that which can be traced no further to any english root thus circumspect circumvent circumstance delude concave and complicate though compounds in the latin are to us primitives derivatives are all those that can be referred to any word in english of greater simplicity the derivatives i have referred to their primitives with an accuracy sometimes needless for who does not see that remoteness comes from remote lovely from love concavity from concave and demonstrative from demonstrate but this grammatical exuberance the scheme of my work did not allow me to repress it is of great importance in examining the general fabric of a language to trace one word from another by noting the usual modes of derivation and inflection and uniformity must be preserved in systematical works though sometimes at the expense of particular propriety among other derivatives i have been careful to insert and elucidate the anomalous plurals of nouns and preterits of verbs which in the teutonic dialects are very frequent and though familiar to those who have always used them interrupt and embarrass the learners of our language the two languages from which our primitives have been derived are the roman and teutonic under the roman i comprehend the french and provincial tongues and under the teutonic range the saxon german and all their kindred dialects most of our poli syllables are roman and our words of one syllable are very often teutonic in assigning the roman original it has perhaps sometimes happened that i have mentioned only the latin when the word was borrowed from the french and considering myself as employed only in the illustration of my own language i have not been very careful to observe whether the latin word be pure or barbarous or the french elegant or obsolete for the teutonic etymologies i am commonly indebted to junius and skinner the only names which i have for born to quote when i copied their books not that i might appropriate their labors or usurp their honors but that i might spare a perpetual repetition by one general acknowledgement of these whom i ought not to mention but with the reverence due to instructors and benefactors junius appears to have excelled in extent of learning and skinner in rectitude of understanding junius was accurately skilled in all the northern languages skinner probably examined the ancient and remoter dialects only by occasional inspection into dictionaries but the learning of junius is often of no other use than to show him a track by which he may deviate from his purpose to which skinner always presses forward by the shortest way skinner is often ignorant but never ridiculous and junius is always full of knowledge but his variety distracts his judgment and his learning is very frequently disgraced by his absurdities the rotaries of the northern muses will not perhaps easily restrain their indignation when they find the name of junius thus degraded by a disadvantageous comparison but whatever reverence is due to his diligence or his attainments it can be no criminal degree of sensoriousness to charge that etymologist with want of judgment who can seriously derive dream from drama because life is a drama and a drama is a dream and to declare us with a tone of defiance that no man can fail to derive moan from manos who considers that grief naturally loves to be alone our knowledge of the northern literature is so scanty that of words undoubtedly teutonic the original is not always to be found in any ancient language and i have generally inserted dutch or german substitutes which i considered not as radical but parallel not as the parents but sisters of the english the words which are represented as thus related by descent or cognation do not always agree in sense for it is incident two words as to their authors to degenerate from their ancestors and to change their manners when they change their country it is sufficient in etymological inquiries if the senses of kindred words be found such as may easily pass into each other or such as may both be referred to one general idea the etymology so far as it is yet known was easily found in the volumes where it is particularly and professionally delivered and by proper attention to the rules of derivation the orthography was soon adjusted but to collect the words of our language was a task of greater difficulty the deficiency of dictionaries was immediately apparent and when they were exhausted what was yet wanting must be sought by fortuitous and unguided excursions into books and gleaned as industry should find or chance should offer it in the boundless chaos of a living speech my search however has been either skillful or lucky for i have much augmented the vocabulary as my design was a dictionary common or appellative i have omitted all words which have relation to proper names such as aryan socinian calvinist benedictine but have retained those of a more general nature as heathen pagan of the terms of art i have received such as could be found either in books of science or technical dictionaries and have often inserted from philosophical writers words which are supported perhaps only by a single authority and which being not admitted into general use stand yet as candidates or probationers and must depend for their adoption on the suffrage of futurity the words which our authors have introduced by their knowledge of foreign languages or ignorance of their own by vanity or wantonness by compliance with fashion or lust of innovation i have registered as they occurred though commonly only to censure them and warn others against the folly of naturalizing useless foreigners to the injury of the natives i have not rejected any by design merely because they were unnecessary or exuberant but have received those which by different writers have been differently formed as vicid and vicidity vicious and viscosity compounded or double words i have seldom noted except when they obtain a signification different from that which the components have in their simple state thus highway men woodmen and horse courser require an explication but of thief like or coach driver no notice was needed because the primitives contain the meaning of the compounds words arbitrarily formed by a constant and settled analogy like diminutive adjectives in ish as greenish bluish adverbs and li as dali openly substantives in ness as vileness faultiness were less diligently sought and many sometimes have been admitted when i had no authority that invited me to insert them not that they are not genuine and regular offspring of english roots but because their relation to the primitive being always the same their signification cannot be mistaken the verbal nouns in ang ing such as the keeping of the castle the leading of the army are always neglected or placed only to illustrate the sense of the verb except when they signify things as well as actions and have therefore a plural number as dwelling living or have an absolute and abstract signification as coloring painting learning the participles are likewise omitted unless by signifying rather qualities than action they take the nature of adjectives as a thinking man a man of prudence a pacing horse a horse that can pace these i have ventured to call participial adjectives neither are these always inserted because they are commonly to be understood without any danger of mistake by consulting the verb obsolete words are admitted when they are found in authors not obsolete or when they have any force or beauty that may deserve revival as composition is one of the chief characteristics of a language i have endeavored to make some reparation for the universal negligence of my predecessors by inserting great numbers of compounded words as may be found under after for new night fair and many more these numerous as they are might be multiplied but that use and curiosity are here satisfied and the frame of our language and modes of our combination amply discovered of some forms of composition such as that by which re is prefixed to note repetition and on to signify contrarity or privation all the examples cannot be accumulated because the use of these particles if not holy arbitrary is so little limited that they are hourly affixed to new words as occasion requires or is imagined to require them there is another kind of composition more frequent in our language than perhaps any other from which arises to foreigners the greatest difficulty we modify the signification of many verbs by a particle subjoint as to come off to escape by a fetch to fall on to attack to fall off to apostatize to break off to stop abruptly to bear out to justify to fall in to comply to give over to cease to set off to embellish to set in to begin a continual tenor to set out to begin a course or journey to take off to copy with innumerable expressions of the same kind of which some appear wildly irregular being so far distant from the sense of these simple words that no segacity will be able to trace the steps by which they arrived at the present use these i have noted with great care and though i cannot flatter myself that the collection is complete i believe i have so far assisted the students of our language that this kind of phraseology will be no longer insuperable and the combinations of verbs and particles by chance omitted will be easily explained by comparison with those that may be found many words yet stand supported only by the name of bailey ainsworth phillips or the contracted dict for dictionaries subjoined of these i am not always certain that they are read in any book but the work of lexicographers of such i have omitted many because i had never read them and many i have inserted because they may perhaps exist though they have escaped my notice they are however to be yet considered as resting only upon the credit of former dictionaries others which i considered as useful were known to be proper though i could not at present support them by authorities i have suffered to stand upon my own attestation claiming the same privilege with my predecessors of being sometimes credited without proof the words thus selected and disposed are grammatically considered they are referred to the different parts of speech traced when they are irregularly inflected through their various terminations and illustrated by observations not indeed of great or striking importance separately considered but necessary to the elucidation of our language and hear the two neglected or forgotten by english karmarians that part of my work on which i expect malignity most frequently to fasten is the explanation in which i cannot hope to satisfy those who are perhaps not inclined to be pleased since i have not always been able to satisfy myself to interpret a language by itself is very difficult many words cannot be explained by synonyms because the idea signified by them has not more than one appellation nor by paraphrase because simple ideas cannot be described when the nature of things is unknown or the notion unsettled and indefinite and various in various minds the words by which such notions are conveyed or such things denoted will be ambiguous and perplexed and such is the fate of hapless lexicography that not only darkness but light impedes and distresses it things may be not only too little but too much known to be happily illustrated to explain requires the use of terms less abstruse than that which is to be explained and such terms cannot always be found for as nothing can be proved but by supposing something intuitively known and evident without proof so nothing can be defined by the use of words too plain to admit a definition other words there are of which the sense is too subtle and evanescent to be fixed in a paraphrase such are all those which are by the grammarians termed expletives and in dead languages are suffered to pass for empty sounds of no other use than to fill a verse or to modulate a period but which are easily perceived in living tongues to have power and emphasis though it be sometimes such as no other form of expression can convey my labor has likewise been much increased by a class of verbs too frequent in the english language of which the signification is so loose and general the use so vague and indeterminate and the senses distorted so widely from the first idea that it is hard to trace them through the maze of variation to catch them on the brink of utter inanity to circumscribe them by any limitations or interpret them by any words of distinct and settled meaning such are bear b-e-a-r break b-r-e-a-k come cast full get give do put set go run make take turn throw if of these the whole power is not accurately delivered it must be remembered that while our language is yet living invariable by the caprice of everyone that speaks it these words are hourly shifting their relations and can be no more ascertained in a dictionary than a grove in the agitation of a storm can be accurately delineated from its picture in the water the particles are among all nations applied with so great latitude that they are not easily reducible under any regular scheme of explication this difficulty is not less nor perhaps greater in english than in other languages i have labored them with diligence i hope with success such at least as can be expected in a task which no man however learned or sagacious has yet been able to perform end of section 20 of prefaces and prologues to famous books read by dennis

chesterfield by samuel johnson preface to the english dictionary part two some words there are which i cannot explain because i do not understand them these might have been omitted very often with little inconvenience but i would not so far indulge my vanity as to decline this confession for when tully owns himself ignorant whether lesus in the 12 tables means a funeral song or mourning garment and aristotle doubts whether aureus in the iliad signifies a mule or mule tear i may freely without shame leave some obscurities to happier industry or future information the rigor of interpretive lexicography requires that the explanation and the word explained should always be reciprocal this i have always endeavored but could not always attain words are seldom exactly synonymous a new term was not introduced but because the former was thought inadequate names therefore have often many ideas but few ideas have many names it was then necessary to use the proximate word for the deficiency of single terms can very seldom be supplied by circumlocution nor is the inconvenience great of such mutilated interpretations because the sense may easily be collected entire from the examples in every word of extensive use it was requisite to mark the progress of its meaning and show by what gradations of intermediate sense it has passed from its primitive to its remote and accidental signification so that every foregoing explanation should tend to that which follows and the series be regularly concatenated from the first notion to the last this is specious but not always practicable kendrid senses may be so interwoman that the perplexity cannot be disentangled nor any reason be assigned why one should be ranged before the other when the radical idea branches out into parallel ramifications how can a consecutive series be formed of senses in their nature collateral the shades of meaning sometimes pass imperceptibly into each other so that though on one side they apparently differ yet it is impossible to mark the point of contact ideas of the same race though not exactly alike are sometimes so little different that no words can express the dissimilitude though the mind easily perceives it when they are exhibited together and sometimes there is such a confusion of acceptations that discernment is wearied and distinction puzzled and perseverance herself hurries to an end by crowding together what she cannot separate these complaints of difficulty will by those that have never considered words beyond their popular use be thought only the jargon of a man willing to magnify his labors and procure veneration to his studies by involution and obscurity but every art is obscure to those that have not learned it this uncertainty of terms and co-mixture of ideas is well known to those who have joined philosophy with grammar and if i have not expressed them very clearly it must be remembered that i am speaking of that which words are insufficient to explain the original sense of words is often driven out of use by their metaphorical acceptations yet must be inserted for the sake of a regular origination thus i know not whether ardor is used for material heat or whether flagrant in english ever signifies the same with burning yet such are the primitive ideas of these words which are therefore set first though without examples that the figurative senses may be commodiously deduced such is the exuberance of signification which many words have obtained that it was scarcely possible to collect all their senses sometimes the meaning of derivatives must be sought in the mother term and sometimes deficient explanations of the primitive may be supplied in the train of derivation in any case of doubt or difficulty it will be always proper to examine all the words of the same race for some words are slightly passed over to avoid repetition some admitted easier and clearer explanation than others and all will be better understood as they are considered in greater variety of structures and relations all the interpretations of words are not written with the same skill or the same happiness things equally easy in themselves are not all equally easy to any single mind every writer of a long work commits errors where there appears neither ambiguity to mislead nor obscurity to confound him and in a search like this many felicities of expression will be casually overlooked many convenient parallels will be forgotten and many particulars will admit improvement from a mind utterly unequal to the whole performance but many seeming faults are to be imputed rather to the nature of the undertaking than the negligence of the performer thus some explanations are unavoidably reciprocal or circular as hind the female of the stag stag the male of the hind sometimes easier words are changed into harder as burial into sepulture or entirement drier into desiccative dryness into sicily or aridity fit into parexism for the easiest word whatever it be can never be translated into one more easy but easiness and difficulty are merely relative and if the present prevalence of our language should invite foreigners to this dictionary many will be assisted by those words which now seem only to increase or produce obscurity for this reason i have endeavored frequently to join a teutonic and roman interpretation as to cheer to gladden or exhilarate that every learner of english may be assisted by his own tongue the solution of all difficulties and the supply of all defects must be sought in the examples subjoined to the various senses of each word and ranged according to the time of their authors when first i collected these authorities i was desirous that every quotation should be useful to some other end than the illustration of a word i therefore extracted from philosophers principles of science from historians remarkable facts from chemists complete processes from divine's striking exhortations and from poets beautiful descriptions such as design while it is yet at a distance from execution when the time called upon me to range this accumulation of elegance and wisdom into an alphabetical series i soon discovered that the bulk of my volumes would fright away the student and was forced to depart from my scheme of including all that was pleasing or useful in english literature and reduce my transcripts very often to clusters of words in which scarcely any meaning is retained thus to the weariness of copying i was condemned to add the vexation of expunging some passages i have yet spared which may relieve the labor of verbal searches and intersperse with verger and flowers the dusty deserts of baron philology the examples thus mutilated are no longer to be considered as conveying the sentiments or doctrines of their authors the word for the sake of which they are inserted with all its appendant clauses has been carefully preserved but it may sometimes happen by hasty detruncation that the general tendency of the sentence may be changed the divine may desert his tenants or the philosopher his system some of the examples have been taken from writers who were never mentioned as masters of elegance or models of style but words must be sought where they are used and in what pages imminent for purity can terms of manufacture or agriculture be found many quotations serve no other purpose than that of proving the bare existence of words and are therefore selected with less scrupulousness than those which are to teach their structures and relations my purpose was to admit no testimony of living authors that i might not be misled by partiality and that none of my co-temporaries might have reason to complain nor have i departed from this resolution but when some performance of uncommon excellence excited my veneration when my memory supplied me from late books with an example that was wanting or when my heart in the tenderness of friendship solicited admissions for a favorite name so far have i been from any care to grace my pages with modern decorations that i have studiously endeavored to collect examples and authorities from the writers before the restoration whose works i regard as the wells of english undefiled as the pure sources of genuine diction our language for almost a century has by the concurrence of many causes been gradually departing from its original teutonic character and deviating towards a gaelic structure and phraseology from which it ought to be our endeavor to recall it by making our ancient volumes the groundwork of style admitting among the additions of later times only such as may supply real deficiencies such as are readily adopted by the genius of our tongue and incorporate easily with our native idioms but as every language has a time of rudeness antecedent to perfection as well as a false refinement and declension i have been cautious lest my zeal for antiquity might drive me into times too remote and crowd my book with words now no longer understood i have fixed sydney's work for the boundary beyond which i make few excursions from the authors which rose in the time of elizabeth a speech might be formed adequate to all the purposes of use and elegance if the language of theology were extracted from hooker and the translation of the bible the terms of natural knowledge from bacon the phrases of policy war and navigation from raleigh the dialect of poetry and fiction from spencer and sydney and the diction of common life from shakespeare few ideas would be lost mankind for want of english words in which they might be expressed it is not sufficient that a word is found unless it be so combined as that its meaning is apparently determined by the tract and tenor of the sentence such passages i have therefore chosen and when it happened that any author gave a definition of a term or such an explanation as is equivalent to a definition i have placed his authority as a supplement to my own without regard to the chronological order that is otherwise observed some words indeed stand unsupported by any authority but they are commonly derivative nouns or adverbs formed from their primitives by regular and constant analogy or names of things seldom occurring in books or words of which i have reason to doubt the existence there is more danger of censure from the multiplicity than paucity of examples authorities will sometimes seem to have been accumulated without necessity or use and perhaps some will be found which might without loss have been omitted but a work of this kind is not hastily to be charged with superfluities those quotations which to careless or unskillful perusers appear only to repeat the same sense will often exhibit to a more accurate examiner diversities of signification or at least afford different shades of the same meaning one will show the word applied to persons another to things one will express an ill another a good and a third a neutral sense one will prove the expression genuine from an ancient author another will show it elegant from a modern a doubtful authority is corroborated by another of more credit an ambiguous sentence is ascertained by a passage clear and determinant the word how often so ever repeated appears with new associates and in different combinations and every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language when words are used equivocally i receive them in either sense when they are metaphorical i adopt them in their primitive acceptation i have sometimes the rarely yielded to the temptation of exhibiting a genealogy of sentiments by showing how one author copied the thoughts and diction of another such quotations are indeed little more than repetitions which might justly be censured did they not gratify the mind by affording a kind of intellectual history the various syntactical structures occurring in the examples have been carefully noted the license or negligence with which many words have been hidden to use has made our style capricious and indeterminate when the different combinations of the same word are exhibited together the preference is readily given to propriety and i have often endeavored to direct the choice thus have i labored to settle the orthography display the analogy regulate the structures and ascertain the signification of english words to perform all the parts of a faithful lexicographer but i have not always executed my own scheme or satisfied my own expectations the work whatever proofs of diligence or attention it may exhibit is yet capable of many improvements the orthography which i recommend is still controvertible the etymology which i adopt is uncertain and perhaps frequently erroneous the explanations are sometimes too much contracted and sometimes too much diffused the significations are distinguished rather with subtlety than skill and the attention is harassed with unnecessary minuteness the examples are too often in judiciously truncated and perhaps sometimes i hope very rarely alleged in a mistaken sense for in making this collection i trusted more to memory than in a state of disquiet and embarrassment memory can contain and purported to supply at the review but was left incomplete in the first transcription many terms appropriated to particular occupations though necessary and significant are undoubtedly omitted and of the words most studiously considered and exemplified many senses have escaped observation yet these failures however frequent may admit extenuation and apology to have attempted much is always laudable even when the enterprise is above the strength that undertakes it to rest below his own aim is incident to everyone whose fancy is active and whose views are comprehensive nor is any man satisfied with himself because he has done much and because he can conceive little when first i engaged in this work i resolved to leave neither words nor things unexamined and pleased myself with a prospect of the hours which i should revel away in feasts of literature the obscure recesses of northern learning which i should enter and ransack the treasures with which i expected every search into those neglected minds to reward my labor and the triumph with which i should display my acquisitions to mankind when i had thus inquired into the original of words i resolved to show likewise my attention to things to pierce deep into every science to inquire the nature of every substance of which i inserted the name to limit every idea by a definition strictly logical and exhibit every production of art or nature in an accurate description that my book might be in place of all other dictionaries whether appellative or technical but these were the dreams of a poet doomed at last to wake a lexicographer i soon found that it is too late to look for instruments when the work calls for execution and that whatever abilities i had brought to my task with those i must finally perform it to deliberate whenever i doubted to inquire whenever i was ignorant would have protracted the undertaking without end and perhaps without much improvement for i did not find by my first experiments that what i had not of my own was easily to be obtained i saw that one inquiry only gave occasion to another that book referred to book that to search was not always to find and to find was not always to be informed and that thus to peruse perfection was like the first inhabitants of arcadia to chase the sun which when they had reached the hill where he seemed to rest was still beheld at the same distance from them i then contracted my design determining to confide in myself and no longer to solicit auxiliaries which produced more encumbrance than assistance by this i obtained at least one advantage that i set limits to my work which would in time be finished though not completed despondency has never so far prevailed as to depress me to negligence some faults will at last appear to be the effects of anxious diligence and persevering activity the nice and subtle ramifications of meaning were not easily avoided by a mind intent upon accuracy and convinced of the necessity of disentangling combinations and separating similitudes many of the distinctions which to common readers appear useless and idle will be found real and important by men versed in the school philosophy without which no dictionary ever shall be accurately compiled or skillfully examined some senses however there are which though not the same are yet so clearly allied that they are often confounded most men think indistinctly and therefore cannot speak with exactness and consequently some examples might be indifferently put to either signification this uncertainty is not to be imputed to me who do not form but register the language who do not teach men how they should think but relate how they have hitherto expressed their thoughts the imperfect sense of some examples i lamented but could not remedy and hope they will be compensated by innumerable passages selected with propriety and preserved with exactness some shining with sparks of imagination and some replete with treasures of wisdom the orthography and etymology though imperfect are not imperfect for want of care but because care will not always be successful and recollection are information come too late for use that many terms of art and manufacture are omitted must be frankly acknowledged but for this defect i may boldly allege that it was unavoidable i could not visit caverns to learn the minders language nor take a voyage to perfect my skill in the dialect of navigation nor visit the warehouses of merchants and shops of artificers to gain the names of wares tools and operations of which no mention is found in books what favorable accident or easy inquiry brought within my reach has not been neglected but it had been a hopeless labor to glean up words by courting living information and contesting with the sullenness of one and the roughness of the other to furnish the academicians de la kruska with words of this kind a series of comedies called la fiera or the fair was professively written by buenarati but i had no such assistant and therefore was content to want what they must have wanted likewise had they not luckily been so supplied nor are all words which are not found in the vocabulary to be lamented as omissions of the laborious and mercantile part of the people the diction is in a great measure casual and mutable many of their terms are formed for some temporary or local convenience and though current at certain times and places are in others utterly unknown this fugitive can't which is always in a state of increase or decay cannot be regarded as any part of the durable materials of a language and therefore must be suffered to perish with other things unworthy of preservation care will sometimes betray to the appearance of negligence he that is catching opportunities which seldom occur will suffer those to pass by unregarded which he expects hourly to return he that is searching for rare and remote things will neglect those that are obvious and familiar thus many of the most common and cursory words have been inserted with little illustration because in gathering the authorities i for bore to copy those which i thought likely to occur whenever they were wanted it is remarkable that in reviewing my collection i found the word see unexemplified thus it happens that in things difficult there is danger from ignorance and in things easy from confidence the mind afraid of greatness and disdainful of littleness hastily withdraws herself from painful searches and passes with scornful rapidity over tasks not adequate to her powers sometimes too secure for caution and again too anxious for vigorous effort sometimes idle in a plain path and sometimes distracted in labyrinths and dissipated by different intentions a large work is difficult because it is large even though all its parts might singly be performed with facility where there are many things to be done each must be allowed its share of time and labor in the proportion only which it bears to the whole nor can it be expected that the stones which form the dome of a temple should be squared and polished like the diamond of a ring of the event of this work for which having labored it with so much application i cannot but have some degree of parental fondness it is natural to form conjectures those who have been persuaded to think well of my design require that it should fix our language and put a stop to those alterations which time and chance have hitherto been suffered to make in it without opposition with this consequence i will confess that i flattered myself for a while but now begin to fear that i have indulged expectation which neither reason nor experience can justify when we see men grow old and die at a certain time one after another from century to century we laugh at the elixir that promises to prolong life to a thousand years and with equal justice may the lexicographer be derided who being able to produce no example of a nation that has preserved their words and phrases from mutability shall imagine that his dictionary can inbound his language and secure it from corruption and decay that it is in his power to change sublunary nature or clear the world at once from folly vanity and affectation with his hope however academies have been instituted to guard the avenues of their languages to retain fugitives and repulse intruders but their vigilance and activity have hithertube in vain sounds are too volatile and subtle for legal restraints to enchain syllables and to lash the wind are equally the undertakings of pride unwilling to measure its desires by its strength the french language has visibly changed under the inspection of the academy the style of amalo's translation of father paul is observed by le corier to be um and no italian will maintain that the diction of any modern writer is not perceptibly different from that of bokasse machiavelli total and sudden transformations of a language seldom happen conquests and migrations are now very rare but there are other causes of change which though slow in their operation and invisible in their progress are perhaps as much superior to human resistance as the revolutions of the sky or in tumescence of the tide commerce however necessary however lucrative as it depraves the manners corrupts the language that they have frequent intercourse with strangers to whom they endeavor to accommodate themselves must in time learn a mingled dialect like the jargon which serves the traffickers on the mediterranean and indian coasts this will not always be confined to the exchange the warehouse or the port but will be communicated by degrees to other ranks of the people and at last incorporated with the current speech there are likewise internal causes equally forcible the language most likely to continue long without alteration would be that of a nation raised a little and but a little above barbarity secluded from strangers and totally employed in procuring the conveniences of life either without books or like some of the mahometon countries with very few men thus busied and unlearn it having only such words as common use requires would perhaps long continue to express the same notions by the same signs but no such constancy can be expected in a people polished by arts and classed by subordination where one part of the community is sustained and accommodated by the labor of the other those who have much leisure to think will always be enlarging the stock of ideas and every increase of knowledge whether real or fancied will produce new words or combinations of words when the mind is unchained from necessity it will range after convenience when it is left at large in the fields of speculation it will shift opinions as any custom is disused the words that expressed it must perish with it as any opinion grows popular it will innovate speech in the same proportion as it alters practice as by the cultivation of various sciences a language is amplified it will be more furnished with words deflected from their original sense the geometrician will talk of a courtier's zenith or the eccentric virtue of a wild hero and the physician of sanguine expectations and phlegmatic delays copiousness of speech will give opportunities to capricious choice by which some words will be preferred and others degraded vicissitudes of fashion will enforce the use of new or extend the signification of known terms the tropes of poetry will make hourly encroachments and the metaphorical will become the current use pronunciation will be varied by levity or ignorance and the pen must at length comply with the tongue illiterate writers will at one time or other by public infatuation rise into renown who not knowing the original import of words will use them with colloquial licentiousness confound distinction and forget propriety as politeness increases some expressions will be considered as too gross and vulgar for the delicate others as too formal and ceremonious for the gay and airy new phrases are therefore adopted which must for the same reasons be in time dismissed swift in his petty treatise on the english language allows that new words must sometimes be introduced but proposes that none should be suffered to become obsolete but what makes a word obsolete more than general agreement to forbear it and how shall it be continued when it conveys an offensive idea or recalled again into the mouths of mankind when it has once by disuse become unfamiliar and by unfamiliarity unpleasing there is another cause of alteration more prevalent than any other which yet in the present state of the world cannot be obviated a mixture of two languages will produce a third distinct from both and they will always be mixed where the chief part of education and the most conspicuous accomplishment is skill in ancient or in foreign tongues he that has long cultivated another language will find its words and combinations crowd upon his memory and haste or negligence refinement or affectation will obtrude borrowed terms and exotic expressions the great pest of speech is frequency of translation no book was ever turned from one language into another without imparting something of its native idiom this is the most mischievous and comprehensive innovation single words may enter by thousands and the fabric of the tongue continue the same but new phraseology changes much at once it alters not the single stones of the building but the order of the columns if an academy should be established for the cultivation of our style which i who can never wish to see dependence multiplied hope the spirit of english liberty will hinder or destroy let them instead of compiling grammars and dictionaries endeavor with all their influence to stop the license of translators whose idleness and ignorance if it be suffered to proceed will reduce us to babel a dialect of france if the changes that we fear be thus irresistible what remains but to acquiesce with silence as in the other insurmountable distresses of humanity it remains that we what we cannot repel that we palliate what we cannot cure life may be lengthened by care though death cannot be ultimately defeated tongues like governments have a natural tendency to degeneration we have long preserved our constitution let us make some struggles for our language in hope of giving longevity to that which its own nature forbids to be immortal i have devoted this book the labor of years to the honor of my country that we may no longer yield the palm of philology to the nations of the continent the chief glory of every people arises from its authors whether i shall add anything by my own writings to the reputation of english literature must be left to time much of my life has been lost under the pressures of disease much has been trifled away and much has always been spent in provision for the day that was passing over me but i shall not think my employment useless or ignoble if by my assistance foreign nations and distant ages gain access to the propagators of knowledge and understand the teachers of truth if my laborers afford light to the repositories of science and add celebrity to bacon to hooker to milton and to boil when i am animated by this wish i look with pleasure on my book however defective and deliver it to the world with the spirit of a man that has endeavored well that it will immediately become popular i have not promised to myself a few wild blunders and risible absurdities from which no work of such multiplicity was ever free may for a time furnish folly with laughter and hardened ignorance in contempt but useful diligence will at last prevail and there never can be wanting some who distinguish desert who will consider that no dictionary of a living tongue ever can be perfect since while it is hastening to publication some words are budding and some falling away that a whole life cannot be spent upon syntax and etymology and that even a whole life would not be sufficient that he whose design includes whatever language can express must often speak of what he does not understand that a writer will sometimes be hurried by eagerness to the end and sometimes faint with weariness under a task which skallager compares to the labors of the anvil and the mind that what is obvious is not always known and what is known is not always present that sudden fits of inadvertency will surprise villages slight avocations will seduce attention and casual eclipses of the mind will darken learning and that the writer shall often in vain trace his memory at the moment of need for that which yesterday he knew with intuitive readiness and which will come uncalled into his thoughts tomorrow in this work when it shall be found that much is omitted let it not be forgotten that much likewise is performed and though no book was ever spared out of tenderness to the author and the world is little solicitous to know whence preceded the faults of that which it condemns yet it may gratify curiosity to inform it that the english dictionary was written with little assistance of the learned and without any patronage of the great not in the soft obscurities of retirement or under the shelter of academic powers but amidst inconvenience and distraction in sickness and in sorrow and it may repress the triumph of malignant criticism to observe that if our language is not here fully displayed i have only failed in an attempt which no human powers have hitherto completed if the lexicons of ancient tongues now immutably fixed and comprised in a few volumes be yet after the toil of successive ages inadequate and delusive if the aggregated knowledge and cooperating diligence of the italian academicians did not secure them from the center of benny if the embodied critics of france when 50 years had been spent upon their work were obliged to change its economy and give their second edition another form i may surely be contented without the praise of perfection which if i could obtain in this gloom of solitude what would it avail me i have protracted my work till most of those whom i wish to please have sunk into the grave and success and miscarriage are empty sounds i therefore dismiss it with frigid tranquility having little to fear or hope from censure or from praise to the right honorable the earl of chesterfield february 7th 1755 my lord i have lately been informed by the proprietor of the world that two papers in which my dictionary is recommended to the public were written by your lordship to be so distinguished is an honor which being very little accustomed to favors from the great i know not well how to receive or in what terms to acknowledge when upon some slight encouragement i first visited your lordship i was overpowered like the rest of mankind by the enchantment of your address and i could not forbear to wish that i might boast myself le vanquier that i might obtain that regard for which i saw the world contending but i found my attendance so little encouraged that neither pride nor modesty would suffer me to continue it when i had once addressed your lordship in public i had exhausted all the art of pleasing which a retired and uncourtly scholar can possess i had done all that i could and no man is well pleased to have his all neglected be it ever so little seven years my lord have now passed since i waited in your outward rooms or was repulsed from your door during which time i have been pushing on my work through difficulties of which it is useless to complain and have brought it at last to the verge of publication without one act of assistance one word of encouragement or one smile of favor such treatment i did not expect for i never had a patron before the shepherd and virgil grew at last acquainted with love and found him a native of the rocks is not a patron my lord one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water and when he has reached ground encumbers him with help the notice which you have been pleased to take of my labors had it been early had been kind but it has been delayed till i am indifferent and cannot enjoy it till i am solitary and cannot impart it till i am known and do not want it i hope it is no very cynical asparty not to confess obligations where no benefit has been received or to be unwilling that the public should consider me as owing that to a patron which providence has enabled me to do for myself having carried on my work thus far with so little obligation to any favorer of learning i shall not be disappointed though i should conclude it if less be possible with less for i have been long awakened from that dream of hope in which i once boasted myself with so much exultation my lord your lordship's most humble most obedient servant samuel johnson end of

near future outcome bottom of the deck i have the card of leo germany but it can be you king of ones yeah let me clarify these two cards let's clarify the knight of cups let's clarify this knight of cups please for sagittarius we have the eight of swords and let's clarify this king of wands for you we have the four of pentacles and what are these two challenge cards the seven of ones please what are these two challenge cards the seven of wands for sagittarius thank you so the moon it feels in this situation somebody is expressing a love or making a loving gesture here but there's definitely an energy of you are blocking it you know the the eighth sword is a card of negative thinking but in the challenged position it can be about releasing or having the opportunity to release negative thoughts i'm definitely getting this energy of if this has been to do with relationships says sagittarius where for whatever reason you are perceiving something or somebody has done something to let you down i i absolutely feel in this energy that they are hoping to overcome the challenge of what they have presented and there's definitely an energy of wanting to express love um to offer love to express their feelings you know uh i mean the knight of cups is essentially the knights represent offers opportunities and in this case it's to do with love matters of the heart that can generally bring change but certainly in the aid of swords energy it feels like you perceive this opportunity as a negative one you know this is limiting beliefs but there is that it's almost like there's an opportunity coming an offer of love an expression of love somebody expressing their love for you um whatever's gone on here and it's almost kind of like you need to make some kind of decision as a result of this you know because certainly in this the with the ace of swords it feels that which can be occurred a victory of success but interestingly enough in in the challenge position which can sometimes be the reverse of the card it it can be about not being quite clear reevaluating your situation you know to see the way forward i mean it's a new beginning energy but it's a card of mental clarity breakthroughs and it's generally the breakthrough because of some kind of it can be communication or mental clarity that you're getting the epiphany i understand which way i'm going but it feels in this energy yeah i'm just getting this this information here sagittarius that somebody is wanting to offer you love romance relationships something must have gone on there's definitely an energy if something has gone on here because the ace of swords comes after a difficult journey and there is negative energy or negative thought patterns maybe some blocking energy you might not have been speaking to this person but it feels like somebody is wanting to bring change to that situation and this is where you have the opportunity to release that negativity if you so choose because you have been through a period of recovery now this can be about deep thought reflection but it's also recovery energy so you might be thinking deeply about what they're offering and there are two paths ahead and there's definitely an energy here of certainly some choice or decision needs to be made here this is about deep careful thought consideration the four of swords getting your head around a situation and really understanding which way you want to go and your intuition will play a deep part in which way you want to go because our intuition is how god the universe the divine guides us forward and so there's definitely an energy of yeah you could have been through like i said that recovery reflection towards making some kind of up you know choosing between two paths here do i do i accept their apology do i accept their offer of love do i um release the negativity between us and make things right or do i go my own way it feels those are the two paths but it's an empowered energy of by giving something some deep thought you will understand which way you want to go and that's what spirit is telling you the moon energy with the seven of seven of ones twice so the seven of wands is standing out of what you know to be right standing up for you know to be true and the moon is is a card of lack of clarity um it's also a card of blind faith blind trust because you don't see the path forward but you just surrender and trust in god the universe the divine that everything will be okay so it can be a card of hidden blessings too there's definitely an energy here of you you were challenged in a situation um it also it also feels whether you were defending something whether you were defending what you need to be right standing your ground in a situation it feels for some of you you were standing your ground i'm going to pull another card for that one standing your ground with this person yeah i've got the three of swords which can be about heartbreak uh emotional pain a truth coming to light that cuts deep you know it can be that kind of energy so and it can be a relationship energy the three of swords uh something that's tested a relationship it feels in a situation somebody is coming in here sagittarius and expressing love um it feels like they want to offer an apology or make something right that's for sure because they've caused some deep hurt deep wounds and it has taken on your power and strength to overcome the challenge that this represented um and there's definitely an energy of a lack of clarity here i don't have the clarity on yeah the moon energy is it it feels it can be anxiety but it feels in this situation it feels to do with i just don't have the clarity to make a decision right now and the message from spirit is give yourself some time to think about it you know again the message of time with the four of four of pentacles it's capricorn energy rule by saturn and so there's definitely an energy of how you take action how you take the lead and be cautious this is about cautious it's also self-protection energy it feels in this energy sagittarius somebody's coming in offering you love romance relationships but they've hurt you before and there's a feeling that you're giving something some deep thought but and there's definitely an issue that you're going to get the clarity but you might not have it yet interesting on your movie it feels like you don't have the clarity to take the lead to move forward you know the the king of wands is somebody who takes the lead is in his power takes you know takes charge goes for something uh follows his passions and desires here he is the person with the big vision you know he is great visionary energy but with the moon energy it's like i don't know if i see it happening in the future here and this is about making choices about your future so it's almost kind of like you don't know if they're part of your future right now you know are they part of my world or not right now because it feels somebody wants to make something right and yet in this situation they've hurt you there's a protective energy around you right now you might be putting up barriers and you just don't have clarity in how you want to move forward but the message is and it's interesting that we said this at the beginning didn't we we said you'll see the bigger picture you know embrace spirit and it might well be this can be about listening to your intuition as well the moon is a card of intuition um surrender listen to your intuition and that will give you the answer that you need to make some kind of choice or decision it's also how you get clarity i mean the four of swords can be an intuitive energy too uh deep subconscious energy so i'm going to pull one more card any other message or advice for sagittarius please any other message or advice for sagittarius i feel the messages trust your instinct because your instinct is coming through spirit and spirit is how it communicates to us through our instinct but it definitely feels like this person presented quite a challenge to get on top of and you might have been defending or standing firm or having to stand firm on something you know it feels in this energy that there are barriers here and you're wondering whether you can overcome those recover and get past them and that's the decision final message for sagittarius please final message for sagittarius okay so i've got the star which is a card of hope it's also a clara cloud what am i talking about it's also a card of um it's a vision as well so the vision the clarity everything will become clear this is a sense of renewal hope have faith you are being guided so it feels for some of you you will find the right path for you forward the star is a card of divine wishful film that blessings from the universe it feels in this instance sagittarius something's happened here um whatever choice or decision that you make you are being blessed you are being washed over by god the divine the universe it definitely feels like somebody presented a challenge to you to overcome and recover from but there's definitely some clarity that you're getting from your intuition from seeing things clearly by reevaluating your circumstances it definitely feels that there is some clarity coming when yeah when you weren't sure what to do quite yet there was a lot of barriers that you put up you're putting up with this um let's pull one more card feels like there are barriers to overcome here because they've hurt you yeah so okay so yeah i've got the ten of ones and i've got the six of swords ten of wands is a card of burden but it's an energy of of a 10 which is a completion as well so it feels like burdens have whatever this person did they created some kind of burden um some way that you're carrying and this is sagittarian energy they tested you uh the saturn in sagittarius you they tested you you know this three of swords was a real test for you a test of faith a test of courage a test to overcome something um but there's definitely an energy of wanting to break free of the baggage that you're carrying the baggage that they may have created for you and you know the six of swords is a card of healing it's a card of transition a card of putting troubles behind you and moving forward to calmer waters but detaching from those troubles so it definitely feels in this energy sagittarius some of you whatever decision that you make you have two paths in front of you you now have the opportunity to release the burdens to release the burdens of the past the past journey as well and open up to the new world energy of two aquarian cards the star energy and you know the six of swords mercury and aquarius so there's definitely an energy of i'm moving towards a new vision i'm moving towards i'm making up my mind which way i want to go and i'm taking steps towards it and i'm detaching from troubles and putting it behind me now that could be together it might well be yeah water under the bridge let's move on it might let's heal from this and move forward it might well be your cutting cords you're detaching so it feels like there's some decision to make there are definitely two paths choices about your future and how your future is going to unfold okay so what do we have for sagittarius please as a final message oh right okay so i've got the snake you know the snake is a great image of shed and all skin and again it ties in very beautifully with that six of swords and new world energy here at the the aquarian energy so if it definitely feels in this energy you are ready to bring transformation to your life you are ready for change you are ready to find the direction you know the direction will become clear and moving towards better times ahead you know so this is and interestingly enough shedding an old skin getting rid of the past burdens so however you do that there is some choice to make kundalini rising channel your creative passion and sensuality welcome the transformation i love that snake energy yeah it feels like everything is going to become clear in a situation where emotions cloud your judgment you may be giving some deep thought to somebody offering this love it feels to do with love romance relationships but i'm definitely getting this energy they've already hurt you they've already caused a lot of burdens and baggage that you've carried maybe over some period of time and it has been a challenge to get on top of and there's definitely now if they're coming in and offering this expression of love you're not clear in terms of whether it's for you or not and there's some decision to make the message is there is hope whichever way that you choose you're being watched over by god the universe the divine if you trust your intuition you won't choose wrong so very lovely energy you're being watched over by a higher power that's for sure so i hope you enjoyed the reading sagittarius if you did please do like share and subscribe i hope it's a wonderful week for you and i will see you next time thank you | Truth Well Told Tarot | UC4sUs98ggtE_XfTIZ69FCag | 2021-04-10 |

John Cena using the John below this is John the that when he saw him walking down to the Jordan sit here he is young this is the one but look at what he says in verse three he said to him are you the coming one or do we look here is Jesus declared he's the one that's taken away to send to the world but John is in prison and his focus in his scope has now totally change because he's not Jesus doing what Jesus do stuff and he don't do it and we get frustrated sit up here that might be Alice in Wonderland true there are things that will transpire in your life that you haven't done all you know to do to walk and talk and be with Jesus and his son goes totally love this when I thought that I have approached every team behind every sentence but now I see myself there is a thing called human emotion and I did yeah what you said further then you generate [Applause] [Music] in the situation that you you you you think that you totally made up your mind and submit it to the will of God that there would not be I just got through singing true yeah but the job said man is born of a woman of a few days you bet anybody have anybody have been doing try to do God's willing you got disappointed because outcome didn't come out the way you thought you were to when you're supposed to be hungry you know the one that says when Jesus was another room and said this night the southern manna be betrayed and the sheep also scatter people a notice out that me you not talking to me cuz you know no I you know you know you don't have the capability of doing like me it's easy to talk smack when you get face-to-face and confronted with the situation because when they came and got Jesus you know prove [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] not long afterward Jesus has been taken to present then come to the prison but goes to the courtyard to drizzle this is the man that setup I'll go with you gets there but he either with yeah he's on the outside and it's not lit up like these wonderful lights in here yeah darling light is showing us from a fire that's lit and somebody even when you child are dug and hide the crowd somebody always finds a way to pick you up you don't even see it but there's a mark on you yeah and you'd be surprised watching a riot every situation I go through how to use him yeah Peter didn't have a too good you still over in the back one with itself by the five trying to figure out what they do Jesus you know it won't be in but this thing's here they won't be in it at this end don't look at it it's not the glamorous ended he had been accustomed to see sometimes God will change your dynamics just to see how you hold up it's not always be glorious and everybody's gonna be singing your praises and thirty-two time people go crazy got nothing to do with you to see how you can handle it and Peter standing there by the fireside look at situation you roll [Music] [Laughter] [Music] and he's over there if you really wanted to give away he would have got away yeah like me but still you know you know people because you know there's some inside that stay connected to Jesus even though Jesus rose twice you go to Nami oh that's not me and and he went away there sometimes when you want to be disassociated because of negativity there's having brothers in your personal life your family life or given in the church you will do things out of character and is not you yeah I said when Jesus then he went back to his previous nature his previous nature Peter was a tough guy brother so what does he do he goes back I'll prove to you that I don't know this man Jesus Bob said he started custody know that you think you got soul you got a soul there are situations and every whatever push that button [Applause] [Music] brokenhearted because that did she thought he could do here he was unable to do because there's times so you understand the frustration cause Moses to only see the promised land were not the wind because the people down on his nerves give you in my presence because of the condition of the people he had seen his family slow and he became frustrated and the Lord came and stick told every six give it your money the Lord has need of the kiddies hit up my page you let you see what's going on [Music] Elijah was a bad dude winning the key need helps courts of total one of his famous for three and a half years after the time it was over they had a meeting on a place called Cana Elijah's soul they had made an Ulta twisted pots of 112 barrels of water that reached the whole altar with the sacrifice fire came down from heaven he and other prophets peel the promise of barely crowd out and he said call him a little baby bear on vacation he made me [Music] [Applause] nobody [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] Oh mija

get same 40 years a generation never got same and you talk and some of y'all have done the same cuz I know I've done I'm gonna sit in the pews because you put me in a place with some folk that don't look like while he was sitting there thinking no good that's been to you how yes God had delivered him from his enemies he said i sat there because it was black [Music] you sit there on the Sunday morning and you cross your legs and you say look at TV ain't nothing on TV worth watching nothing on TV that you can't look at it is either no runs a bunch of reruns and you go to and you click and you click and then you turn it you look at the clock on the wall look at your watch and you say you know what I still that time yeah to get to the house of the Lord don't let frustration stop you from your service anybody could have been frustrated to the old man Joe what did he do to deserve what he got he served he feared he served he feared God and he was and yet he say the thing that I fear the most has come on it couldn't always be good news when everything was done a job laddie [Applause] I just wanna talk to you about how you're not the only one in has gone through frustration some of the many ones that are minted we look at a steam is ups great and wonderful they have trouble just like you and I think I'm frustrated like you and I but what they did not do is they did not quit for when a never quits and a quitter never wins bless you today [Applause] look down and lift you up [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and I don't know whatever is going to do I was walking like this [Music] [Applause] [Music] in the house [Applause] [Music] these come you got to learn how to wear that season comes their relationships relationships [Music]

BIllqDtCsFc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIllqDtCsFc | EMERGING MARKETS STOCK INVESTING FOR BEGINNERS | good day fellow investors my name is van Killeen and I run the invest with cycling channel on YouTube and today we'll be discussing what are emerging markets why to invest in emerging markets how to invest in emerging markets and when to invest in emerging markets so let me let me start with what are emerging markets and then we'll see why it's important now especially in this moment in time to look at emerging markets as an investment opportunity so what are emerging markets emerging markets are countries that are not developed as the u.s. is as Europe is but are no good trajectory to come there as you can see here 52% of the population lives in emerging markets in countries like Mexico Brazil Russia China India but only 49% of the global GDP comes from those markets as those countries develop their GDP share will be bigger and bigger and therefore it is extremely important to be invested in emerging markets now okay when I say China India Russia Brazil that's not familiar to most investors especially those in the developed markets that's because they have a domestic bias so you're human you like your comfort zone and everything out of that comfort zone is considered risky dangerous volatile and better not to do and that could be a very very costly opinion when it comes to investing in emerging markets Jack Bogle the founder of the Vanguard Group the Vanguard index funds recently discussed his expectations on what we can expect from the SMP 500 and he said that in the best case scenario we can expect returns of 4% over the next decade so that 4% from US stocks because valuations price-to-earnings ratios are extremely high and will lead historically logically rationally to 4% over the next 10 years if there is a recession that can also be minus 50% so the risks are high but the returns are only 4% now if you're not happy with 4% you to look elsewhere for better returns because the difference is huge investing $10,000 at 4% over 20 years we'll end up at 22,000 $10,000 at 10% over 20 years we'll end up at 67,000 so the difference is huge emerging markets I believe will deliver more than 10% for the intelligent investor and here is one reason why that will happen the population in emerging markets will continue to grow over the next 40 years and has been growing extremely fast ly in the last 50 60 years this means that the population is still young those countries still need a lot of infrastructure a lot of building a lot of growth and in comparison developed countries you can see here below the grey line the orange line the blue line are all growing at a very very slow rate more people mean more customers more consumptions more business more travel more infrastructure etc on top of everything emerging markets are growing at a very very fast rate China is growing almost at 7% India has recently slowed down due to the monetization but is still growing at five six percent and you can see in this figure that emerging markets China India have been in the past 200 years ago the largest contributors to global GDP then they have lost their leading position due to colonization Wars but now they are returning to their leading position and you can see how here in the upper right corner China is hugely increasing its share in Deauville GDP followed by India you want to be invested in that trend and you can see how Western Europe is declining so you don't want to be invested there and the u.s. is stable what is even more important that the percentage of the population living in extremely poor condition has been declining at incredible rates in 1981 more than 90 percent of Chinese were extremely poor the level now is at 10% India was about 50% the level now is below 20% this means that as there is less and less poor people all those people will need home shelter more things that they will consume education services infrastructure everything that goes along with the developed not poor lifestyle medications so we can expect those 4.5 billion people going into 5.5 billion to have a huge impact on global demand for goods and on the businesses that operate in that environment another example is the global middle class consumption expectation and now you can see how Asia is not yet leading but in the future will be definitely leading and taking over the complete demand for goods and services in the world so this clearly tells us one thing the 20th century was the century of the US and consequently in Europe the 21st century is the Asian century make sure that your money doesn't get stuck in the past century and that clearly follows the trend in the current century it will make a huge difference over your lifetime how to invest in emerging markets now you don't have to take your money pack it in a bag and bring it to India or China you can do it comfortably sitting from your own home and buying stocks on the new york stock exchange if you type into Google Nasdaq Composite list you will get to this web page where you have all the companies that are traded on the New York Stock Exchange and on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange death have operations or that are headquartered in Asia Africa Australia wherever you want you have them listed by region and also you have them listed by industry so this is an excellent webpage to look at companies all over the world or in specific industry sectors that you are looking for here you can find great investments so that you don't have to go to China to invest in China for example a stock here mentioned is Alibaba Group now another option is to invest your ETFs I believe emerging market ETF will do better than ICP 500 ETS but there is always the problem with ETFs that it helps buy high and sell low when there is a crisis because it helps by the companies with the largest market capitalizations thus the most expensive companies and that's something the intelligent investor doesn't do so if you want better returns ETFs are okay if you want even better returns look at specific companies because the world is so big and you can find cheap bargains at extremely low prices just another example why emerging market companies are cheaper I will compare Amazon and Alibaba the price earnings ratio for Alibaba is four times lower than Amazon the price-to-book ratio is two times lower and the price to cash flow is similar as the growth rates at both companies are pretty similar you can see how Alibaba is cheaper because it operates in China and not in the US extremely important fact and similarly also on the aggregate field the situation is the same here you have a global chart of valuations price to earnings ratio so the lower the price to earnings ratio the more you get for your investment the price to earnings ratio in China is seven point six which leads to an earnings return of about fourteen percent however the price earnings ratio in the u.s. is twenty-two point four which leads to burning returns of 4.5% the difference over the next 20 years will be huge another example now we know that the electric vehicle industry is exploding Tesla stock has had some problems but they still expect to produce a lot of new cars and apart from lithium cobalt another metal that all those new cars need is Nikko and there is a company in Russia is called Norilsk Nickel which is the biggest miner of nickel in the world and if you look at the valuations the price to means ratio is again below the sp500 the dividend is three times higher than the sp500 so those valuations are cheap when compared to what the S&P 500 offers and when compared to the potential that the company in an emerging market where demand is growing from China from India and in a sector that will explode in the next ten years so that is first much cheaper than the S&P 500 and secondly for the growth for the potential the company offers it's extremely cheap so if you invest now in such a company and forget about your money in ten years and realize the dividend your returns will be huge however if you don't feel like investing in some obscure company in China India Russia you can also invest in domestic strong brands that have exposure to emerging markets another domestic stock that you can look at the Starbucks they plan to expand their store count in China to five thousand stores by 2021 Chinese economics are growing at 7% so there will be more and more customers for Starbucks they are increasing the infrastructure so huge growth expected from Starbucks to come there so if you look at companies that can take advantage of what's going on in China and in India especially in India you can buy good household brands now that will do very good in emerging markets however they are a bit more pricey then buying directly companies in emerging market third point for today is when to invest in emerging markets just because something is in an emerging market doesn't mean it will be a good investment as always you have to look at valuations earnings potential growth and the quality of the business here we have a comparison of the returns between the emerging markets index and the sp500 index from 2001 to 2010 the emerging markets in the darker blue has returned sixteen percent per year yep if 500 has returned 1.4 percent from 2011 to 2016 the S&P 500 has returned 12 point five percent per year emerging markets and negative two point three percent for 16 years and merging markets have beaten the S&P 500 however in 2011 the price earnings ratio of the S&P 500 was around 15 which was cheap for the S&P 500 so then it was better to invest in the S&P 500 now again the price earnings ratio is high like it was in 2001 and emerging market price to earnings ratio is much lower here we can see emerging market index is sixteen point six the price earnings ratio while the S&P 500 is twenty two point four price-to-book ratio 3.26 for the S&P 500 1.82 for emerging markets which means that the book value of the stocks is double than what is on the SI 2500 over the long term that is what creates stock returns so for the when to invest in emerging markets you have to invest in emerging markets when the S&P 500 is expensive and emerging markets are relatively cheap this is now if in two years the S&P 500 becomes cheap again then again you switch from emerging markets to the S&P 500 so I hope I have interested you in emerging markets on my channel we constantly discussed stocks from an emerging markets Chinese stocks Indian stocks and everything that can increase future returns with lowering your risk I hope you subscribe to the channel and click like if you like the content thank you and I

RFtkeYtsK4w | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFtkeYtsK4w | CHEAPEST FIRST MODS!! | right are we doing boys now today I want to make a quick video I get asked this question quite a lot and what it is is basically people asking me if you got the course or again what would be what the first things you do to the car be to make it look a little little bit better make it stand out a bit so what I want to do I want to go over everything I'd do if I've just got this car so yeah enjoy the video all right and so first thing I'd do 100% and I've done this with every single car I've owned set of wind deflectors you cannot go wrong with wind deflectors for two reasons one when you're doing motorway miles it makes the car a lot more quiet on the inside and you can have the window down just a little bit and when you leave the car overnight you can leave your window open a tiny little bit don't if you can see that and it just lets the car air out overnight and I think they just look a little bit sporty or as well okay so next thing I definitely go for is the mud flaps now these make the car look a lot lower and I know this might sound stupid but make it look a lot lower make it look a bit more aggressive from behind and they're quite easy to fit I know I a dear I know I had a bit of trouble fitting them but if you can get your back wheel off they're really easy to fit and they're really cheap okay so next thing will have to be eyelids from the front of the car without these eyelids it doesn't look too aggressive sorry if there's a bit of wind noise in this video but once you put them on it just makes that just makes the car look a lot more mean coming down the road then another thing I do I definitely upgrade your bulbs now I know I done a video recently where I put the rainbow bugs in but they didn't really light up the road too well so what I've done I've got to put some ultra white bulbs in these as you can see yeah the light of the road really well so I definitely recommend upgrading all your boobs I've done my M my dri was as well but yeah definitely upgrade your bulbs it makes a car look a lot more modern as well instead of having that horrible orange tint to the lights so I definitely recommend upgrading you ball now I wasn't going to throw this in the video but for the people that liked this look it is to some it isn't for others well tin tin you realize I love it I've done it's pretty much every car I've owned so far actually yeah I've done it to every car I've owned just makes the car look a lot more aggressive and then another thing I would definitely do is Dean chrome the car just completely neat very much I've done my grill that's another thing I definitely recommend doing but like I said you boys might have different plans for your car but this is just my opinion I like the the blackout lock so ya know last but not least boys jumping into the interior because this a lot of people do forget about the interior now this is where you're gonna be spending most of the time you know actually look what you're caught you don't actually see what your car looks like from the outside so what I definitely recommend doing is just doing a bit of decorating on the inside like I've got these these little accessories made by by r7a now looking mummies then I definitely recommend doing your just D Chrome in the inside as well I've put my two red but yours yours can go whatever color obviously to your liking but yeah it just gives the just gives the interior a lot more homely kind of feel it makes it feel like your own obviously I've put my stickers on it as well but yeah it's just another idea and then last but not least I'd get yourself the neons for your car they're really easy to install I've just cable tied mine up there and yeah you get this little remote with them you could turn it to any color you want as you can see orange green then you can even have it on multicolored so it just like gives it a bit of a disco but I definitely recommend doing that yeah now I know I'd done a video on first mots to do for your Corsa which is kind of similar to this but that was that's quite an old video now and I have had this question asked quite a lot recently and pretty much people just ask him what would you do what what would you recommend doing I've just got myself a course or I'm just looking at a course I want to make it a bit different so yeah a 4 I'd make this video and though it's not a really long but I have got some videos planned for this week do not worry boys and yeah I thought this video might help you so when anyone does ask this question I'll just link him this video and yeah that's going to do it for the video boys thanks for watching please remember to Like comment and subscribe and I'll see you all in the next one [Music] | Jesse Collingham | UCwo9lvC2JSGHi4CbFT1aFQQ | 2018-06-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 958 | 4,719 |

5rXau2WxhNk | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rXau2WxhNk | Zaful swimsuit Try-on Haul | Summer 2021| Slim girl friendly | working it in these swimsuits ciao bye hi guys welcome back to my channel fresh face chrissy we're getting a fresh face cute little top we're giving summertime vibes i need a vacation um it is super hot outside so yes we are doing some black girl sunscreen and that's it but if you clicked on this video you are here because we are going to review some swimsuits so i ordered some swimsuits from a website called zaful zaful something like that and for starters the swimsuits they took a long time to come so as far as shipping um the swimsuits did take like i'm not even gonna hold you it took like a month almost for them to come um so that's just something to be aware of if you do buy swimsuits from them um but all of the swimsuits that i ordered were under 20 like every piece that i ordered was under 20 it might have been under 15 i'm not sure but this is gonna kind of be like a video talk through it's my first time trying this so i'm not sure how it's gonna go but i've already tried on the swimsuits i actually have had this video in my archives for a little bit i just haven't had the time to like push them together to make it a full video i don't know but whatever we're going to just do it so i'm going to go through and tell you guys a little bit about them and then you guys can watch me kind of model for you on the screen um and then we'll just kind of see what are we rating these what is it are new here oh welcome i hope you like what you see but if you wouldn't mind giving this video a like and a subscribe your girl is trying to get her numbers up so help me out so click the subscribe button and see more of fresh face chrissy i'm trying to be more consistent all right so the first swimsuit is going to be this bando bikini set it comes obviously with a bandeau top and then a bottom the bottom wasn't super cheeky if you watch the video i mean you could see a little bit of my butt but like it's not super inappropriate um this swimsuit is in the color chestnut and i got it in a size small um it is only 12.99 so like i said most of the stuff that i got it's either under 15 or under 20 one of the two um but i really liked this set um the bandeau top for a small it fit pretty well but your girl is pretty tiny so i did have to keep pulling it just a little bit um i did end up putting like a coverall on when i went to the pool when i did wear this but other than that like it's not inappropriate at all and like i said it was only 12.99 and the color is really pretty especially on my skin i thought it was gorgeous all right so the next swimsuit that we have it's a one piece and it is in this beautiful neon orange color perfect for the summer um again this is a one piece but it came with a belt you could do the belt one time you could probably do it two times i think i ended up doing it two times when i wore it and did like a bow in the front it is 17.99 and i got this in the size small um it is like a one shoulder top again if you see me turn around this swimsuit is not super cheeky it is appropriate for like a family vacation or you know just a girl's vacation with or without any kind of coverall um i didn't really like how the back fit me though it was like a little bit loose in the back area and again since i'm so small like most of the time when i wear something i want it to be as fitted as possible so i did experience it being just a little bit loose in the back but other than that you know your girl was working it was doing my thing doing my thing i know y'all see me getting my model on i had to go in my closet so many times and get like different shoes i went and found shades and bags because i swear i was working it in these swimsuits ciao bye y'all this next one was legit my favorite like this black bando bikini set was legit my favorite wear it is a high-cut bando set and the material is that ribbed kind of material lining um this one was cheeky let me just tell you like that it was a little cheeky i wouldn't wear this by itself to my kids um like water park events no birthday parties and none of that um it was super cute on me i got this in a size small and this set was only 10.99 so for this to have been my favorite um it was only 10.99 and i wore it just like this and then there was another piece that i'll show you guys in a little bit that i paired on top of it but in the video i wore it by itself and i paired it with the top so the top that i paired it with in the video is this sheer um tie top it's in white and i got this in a small also this came from zaful as well and it was 12.99 um in the video i paired it with this top but when i actually wore it in real life i wore a top similar to the one that i have on now um and again i would not wear this out with my kids or to like a family uh water event but your girl was giving cheeks and it was super cute it was my favorite for only 10.99 i would have bought this in every color that they had alright so watching the video back i didn't realize that i tried it on also with this off the shoulder it's kind of a scrunchy um top like i said it is similar to the one that i have on it is from zaful and this one was 15.99 you can pull the strings up on the arms and their strings in the front so like i said when i wore it out to like a friend's birthday party um i actually wore this top with it and it was super cute i'll see if i can find a picture and put it on the screen but this was another really cute buy it came in about four different colors but of course white goes with so much more so i got this in white and again the sides can be scrunched up to go as high as you want it or it can come all the way down like this top down to like your wrist area so super cute all right the next set that i got was this crisscross leopard bikini this one was really pretty it was giving tropical it was giving leopard plus black you know black is sexy on everybody um this one was super cute and it was 1950 1999 something like that again under 20 dollars it was a two piece set and then the bottom is kind of a high cut top so yeah another one that you don't wear around the kids um i liked this set i haven't worn it out in real life yet but it was giving a little bit of cheeks i got this in the size small and again the color is just labeled as leopard print alrighty guys for this last piece um it is a bottom it's like a crochet knitted pants it's not a long pant um it's stopped at like my calf maybe if you can see in the video and then i paired it again with that two-piece chestnut uh bandeau set um it was cute this is in the size small oh no i lied this is a one size fits all it was kind of tight i'm not even gonna lie to you it was tight but it does have these strings in the front that you can pull to make it tighter if you need to um again it is one size so you can stretch it but for me i'm a small and this was kind of tight so when i was wearing it i kind of took it off pretty quickly but it is super cute these pants were priced at 18.99 i had to go back and look at the receipt girl um but yeah again this was one size i wouldn't have worn it with that bandeau set um for real but i just needed to try on something with it um so yeah the crochet was really nice like i said it was a little bit tight on me but again for the price of everything you really can't beat it i loved everything that i got but again that shipping killed me it was like three almost four weeks probably before i got everything like i lowkey was gonna hit up customer service like where my stuff at but if you get the app that apple you know track it for you and i don't even know where it was coming from but still it was just taking a long time so if you are on a budget like your girl i'm down for anything under 20 dollars just make sure that you order in enough time before you know your event or your trip or whatever so hopefully you guys enjoyed the video and hanging out with me i know this video probably isn't that long um but i did want to show my face and because i had recorded those swimsuits already i wanted to share them with you guys so i will link everything below make sure you give this video a like please don't forget to share and subscribe with your friends and i will see

1EIpek60rs0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EIpek60rs0 | Linux Has Become Complicated And Limiting (GNOME, Wayland, etc) | I've recently come to the conclusion that at least for me Linux isn't as fun as what it was 15 years ago when I first discovered Linux as far as me switching to Linux full time on the desktop and part of that of course is natural because when something's new because I was a new user around 2008 when you're a new user obviously everything's fresh and exciting you know it's a new frontier and obviously you're just completely enamored with this new thing that you're trying out where now Linux is kind of old hat to me right I've seen it all and maybe that's part of the problem but I don't really think that is part of the problem because sometimes I do check out new Linux distributions that are quite unique that do impress me but there are very few and far between and I think a lot of the problem with Linux in my case not being as fun as it was 15 years ago is a it's a systemic problem it's a really Broad base problem that really affects the entire open source and free software ecosystem and part of this is a lot of our free and open source software that we depend on that we build our gnu slash Linux distributions Upon A lot of these programs are now becoming so big and complicated they become less user-friendly they become harder to customize they become in many ways less flexible and because of that it's not the ultimate hackers Paradise that it was 15 years ago I just think it's it's lost some of that luster some good examples of how Linux was back in 2008 as far as being flexible and customizable and you could easily hack on things all these desktop environments and window managers you had ultimate theming options is you know around 2008 or so when I first got into Linux it was The Gnome 2 desktop those days with the gtk2 toolkit and you had literally hundreds of gtk themes available to you on Linux and every color color scheme that you've had some really crazy gtk themes if you go back and look at some of the old screenshots of Linux 15 years ago especially old gtk based desktops 15 years ago they were absolutely gorgeous they were far better than what we have now in my opinion and part of this is because that gtk2 tool kit was the last time gtk was really simple and easy to use that anybody you me anybody watching this video right now could easily make a gtk theme and just theme it with whatever color scheme you want and you could put it out there for the world to use and with gtk3 and gnome 3 that all went away gtk3 became such a complicated mess that pretty much everyone that was theming for gtk2 most of them just didn't even try to theme for gtk3 it was it was too much of a mess it was too complicated it was too hard to create a theme and then if you went to the trouble to create a theme the next version of gtk the next version of good gnome would break your theme to where you'd have to start all over and do the work all over again and it's just a nightmare it's a headache and of course now we have gtk4 pretty soon we're gonna have gtk five and it's just becoming more and more complicated and more complex and really a lot of this you know the gnome desktop environment The Gnome developers and gtk they really just destroyed what was a beautiful thing with desktop Linux and that was the the fact that anyone could theme their Linux desktop to just amazing potentials I also remember the crazy desktop effects we had back then with the spinning Cube and being able to draw fire on the screen or to create rain puddles that are dropping on your desktop and you had when you close a window you can make the window explode or it would uh Blow Up in Flames or it would fold up into a paper airplane and fly off the screen and back then that was because we were still using xorb we are still using xor for the most part these days but you've had you know your standard compositors and one of the very popular compositors back then was compus and compius was a compositor that had all these amazing effects and you typically back then you use the old gnome 2 desktop environment in conjunction with the compiz compositor to get just these amazing desktop effects that were truly world class no other operating system had the kind of desktop effects that Linux had back then and I would argue today Linux doesn't have those desktop effects the way we had it 15 years ago and the reason is is because nobody's putting in that work anymore with these xor compositors for the last 12 years or so people have been focused on working on Wayland getting a new display server up which is still not even close to being ready yet and of course Weyland is much more complex and the way it does things because now you don't create a desktop environment and a window manager you create a Weyland compositor every Wayland window manager is essentially a compositor you it's a compositor and Window Manager all together and it's a mess one of the things back in the day you know with xorg on Linux we have probably more than 100 different desktop environments and window managers to choose from we have ultimate choice and just amazing variation between all of these desktop environments and window managers with Weyland we're not going to have probably any uh real variation where it's going to be very limited it's because it's so hard to create these Wayland window managers compared to how easy it is to create one an xorb right we're not going to have nearly as many window managers most of them because of the amount of code and work involved are simply going to for the most part be Forks of each other because it's just too complicated to start all over and do your own compositor Weyland compositor when somebody's already did one for this other window manager so I'll just Fork their window manager and it's not going to be the same right and I I it bothers me it really bothers me how this new technolo these new desktop environments these new theming tool kits the new display server new audio servers with you know awesome then pulse and then pipe wire that are all just hacks that get stacked on top of each other it's becoming a mess and Linux on the desktop really has become again so complicated and so inflexible that it's really hard to be that tinkerer you know back in the day you could take these pieces and rearrange them and put them back together again you could get in the config files you could hack on things and you could just do some amazingly creative stuff with Linux and you can still do that for the most part on Linux but it's not the same right it's becoming much more of a rigid ecosystem and it troubles me now a lot of the lower level Linux utilities especially like the good new core utils and things like that once you get into the command line stuff all of that stuff is still very simple it's all small modular tools for the most part these small tools they do one job they do one thing do one thing well and they have the ability to pipe their output as input into the next command so you can pipe things into it and you know at the command line we still have that ultimate flexibility and customization we have ultimate power but once you get more into especially the desktop Ram you know once you get into user interface stuff especially user interfaces that are designed for being new user friendly a lot of that stuff has had their their power Stripped Away right you're no longer able to do as much with these new desktop environments in some cases these new programs that crop up one of the things one of the biggest programs on Linux nowadays is system D system D of course is the init system on most Linux distributions although it's much more than an init system It's actually an entire Suite of applications the init system is actually a really really small part of system D and that's because system D includes things like system D timers and all the networking stuff systemd has you know a bajillion components to it right the knit part of it again it's just a very small part and why does that need to be the case couldn't you have all of that split up now I'm I don't mind system D system D actually works and I will give system D credit as far as to the end user system D is actually pretty user friendly as far as how you interact with it in many cases system D is actually a little more user friendly than some of the other alternative init systems especially some of the older ones that systemd was created to replace such as CIS 5 and net and upstart but really the point of this little rant that I'm going on today you really this is just me in a therapy session you guys are the psychiatrist or the psychologists here you know this is me laying on a couch you know giving you my thoughts here is I don't like the direction that so many of these free software projects are going they're making these pieces of software that are just very rigid and very limiting and it is it is completely changing gnu Linux as we knew it it many of us fell in love with Linux because of that customization and that extensibility and that's really lacking in a lot of modern software projects and again I know I'm not the only one that feels this way because I see other people on video or in text uh Reddit places like that they post their desktops and I see them using Linux very much like me where a lot of the tools I use I'm looking for extremely customizable extremely extensible tools right and simple tools for the most part why do I use tools like d menu so much why do I have so many scripts that I've written the interface with d menu because that thing is just mind-numbingly simple right it's so crazy simple the amount of lines of code to D menu are I don't know probably a few hundred lines of code I don't know I haven't read the source code but if I wanted to it's not a lot of lines of code anybody could go read the source code within I don't know 15 20 minutes probably but it's not just the fact that it's not written in a lot of lines of code it's the fact that D menu the way it was designed is designed to be extensible and customizable and flexible is because you can take any input and feed it into D menu oh yeah I can the input from a file I can direct it into D menu or the output from another Unix shell command I can pipe it into D menu right and that is extremely flexible and just very very cool for the most part these days I don't use file managers I almost never use a proper file manager whether it be a graphical file manager or a terminal file manager I rarely ever use deer Ed inside of emacs if I need to do any file management 99.9 of the time I do it in the terminal with your standard gnu core utils you know LS and CD and REM and CP you know all of those standard shield commands that are designed for file management that's my file manager because at the end of the day they're simple they're flexible you can do a lot with them you can script with those particular tools and I just prefer that workflow and I just hope that especially the maintainers of various Linux distributions and the lead divs of some of these desktop environments and window managers especially some of the up and coming ones that are being designed with Weyland in mind I hope they keep this in mind when they're designing their particular software one of the things with free and open source software is I want to be able to hack on it if I can't do what I want to do with your particular piece of software the fact that it's free and open source well that that's great I I love that it's licensed that way but if I can't really do what I want to do if I can't make it into what I want to make it into what's really the difference between your free software project and a proprietary software project it's really other than the license it's essentially becomes the same thing now maybe that's just me being pessimistic maybe I'm just in a bad mood today I did go to the gym and I worked out for about an hour and a half and I it wasn't that long ago that I actually stepped off a treadmill over at Anytime Fitness so you know that puts people in a bad mood maybe that's why I wanted to rant today I don't know but I hope you guys enjoyed this little rant and I hope especially those of you that are developing software take some of the points that I mentioned today and just use it and it's a little food for thought peace guys | DistroTube |

AQRLlMrwo7U | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQRLlMrwo7U | Jonah Goodhart, Moat | Mayfield50 | Sand Hill Road to the heart of Silicon Valley it's the queue presenting the people first Network insights from entrepreneurs and tech leaders I'm John fry with the key we are here for a special conversation on Sand Hill Road at Mayfield's 50th anniversary part of their people first Network I'm here Joan and guitars Cosi co-founder and CEO of mote now with Oracle sold their company in 2017 entrepreneur serial entrepreneur thanks for joining me today thanks for having me John excited to be here so we're talking before we came on camera you've been an entrepreneur since you were a small kid doing all kinds of hustles and side things what's what's happening with you now so you sold your company in 2017 part of Oracle Oracle not known for the entrepreneurial activity but you know you brought that company in still going on give us an update so started moat back in 2010 like you said in 2017 Oracle decided to make us an offer and we decided to sell our company and it's been frankly exciting for me to be part of a company that has a 40 year history in in Oracle to have a company that has played a pretty pivotal role in Silicon Valley we're sitting here right in the heart of Silicon Valley and to be a part of a company that I think is is so important to the the future development of software and databases and hardware I think is is interesting and exciting and and certainly not the path that that I thought I would I would be on but I'm excited to to be here today it's always nice to have an entrepreneurial success at the level you guys had great exit the numbers other was reported was close to a billion dollars in value that Oracle saw and the company started but unique journey you started with your brother was in New York take us through that journey what was some of the things that you did and how did it get started what was the main driver sure so I got to take us back a little bit so I've been in business with my brother Noah for 20 years so we started a company in the late 1990s when I was an undergrad at Cornell and the internet was going crazy ecommerce companies were going public and the first of everything was starting the four internet credit card the first of x y&z fill-in-the-blank and so we decided sort of haphazardly at the time that we would start a business and we started by helping companies acquire customers using the internet and so we really built I think in sort of looking back on it now it was somewhat of a marketing agency but at the time we were building what year was that this is ninety eight ninety right now I didn't it boom things going crazy things you weren't crazy we're in college we were building email lists we were we were essentially trying to figure out how do you tell stories and advertise online but we didn't know we were doing that we were just trying to simply make some money I was working for $5 an hour at the computer center in Ithaca New York at Cornell and I didn't know the computer and so I'm sitting there part of the reason I worked at the computer center was because I got 24 hour access to the Internet and to a computer and so we started our first business there and things went really well almost out of the gates in 98 99 and then 2000 happen in 2001 happened and the world changed business certainly changed that the so-called sort of bust of a lot of I think the ideas that people had I think people realized that there was gonna have to be real businesses that were built and eventually those businesses were built in many cases but I think it didn't happen the way that people expected and we were certainly surprised by it were 21 year old I was 21 at the time my brother was two years older than me and so we had this business that was going really well and then we sort of ran off of a cliff and so we were profitable growing on top of the world and then hit a challenge it was one of the first business lessons that I really learned back in 2000 2001 which is that you have to have something that is sticky that's going to be able to stick around through the tough times it can't only work when things are going up I can't only work when people are spending money and so we learned a lot of lessons about how do you build a long-term sustainable business in 2002 someone that we had done business with for a couple of years called me and he said I'm gonna start a new business and I think there's an opportunity to build a business to trade digital advertising and to do it more effectively and efficiently then has been done to date this guy said I think there's something to be done I think now is the time to do it my brother and I decided to partner with we decided to write a check to become his first client and to help him start a company that he started in 2002 called write media write media ended up becoming a big success it was the first big ad exchange the first platform to trade digital advertising inventory Yahoo ended up acquiring the company in 2007 and so we were sort of on our way as entrepreneurs slash now investors but enter the world of thousand eight once again the economy changes the world changes and we start to think alright maybe when the market goes down when everything crashes maybe that's the time to start thinking about starting a new business maybe when competition dries out a little bit is the right time to get back into building companies and so no and I my brother and I decided all right let's go start a new business and we got started with moat in 2010 and it's been it's been a pretty fun ride and how long did you work on moat for girls I mean so we started in 2010 we spent a year or two trying to figure out what we would do really got started in earnest in 2010 raised invested the initial amount of money ourselves through myself and and Noah and our third partner Mike Woolworth the guy from write media and in 2011 raised a friends-and-family round 2012 we're fortunate to get Mayfield to invest and at that point was when our business really took off so we ran the company from 2010 to 2012 with zero dollars in revenue Mayfield invested in us when we had zero dollars in revenue and things started to go out from there so from 2012 to 2017 when we sold the company we built a pretty sizable SAS business so interesting experiences that Mayfield no revenue that's the way the like I'd like to build businesses take a piece of the action you also did that early on but I think what's interesting about your story and I want to get your thoughts on this is that you know entrepreneurs sometimes they hit a wall and sometimes they can't get back up you hit multiple kind of market timings I see the bubble crash 2001 to timeframe you mentioned 2008 seeing transitions is a big part of having that entrepreneurial antenna if you will having a feeling for the market knowing with what the wave is when when to start when to invest invest in down markets as you grew from that first venture and you're on top of the world college that first crash how did you figure out the market transition kind of dynamic did it jump out at you was it just scar tissue what was them the feelings there yeah I mean I my view is that so the market changed and we had all these expectations about our revenue was gonna continue to grow forever and our profits were gonna continue to grow forever and when the market changed and outside dynamics changed our business this is colonised I'm talking about our first company all of a sudden we went uh-oh what do you do now and I think it was it was more having lived through that experience that we said all right we need to figure out when we build businesses how do we build them to be sort of foolproof or as much foolproof as as we can be how do we have something that's sticky sustainable that can't simply be turned off with the ebb and flow of the market and I think it for me taught me something which was you need to build something that's long-lasting something that is not driven by market conditions if your business is driven by external market conditions that should be a big signal that there's that there's potentially a problem cuz if those conditions change you're gonna you're gonna be in a tough spot and so we decided then and there all right we need to really build businesses that are here for the long run we sat on the board of right media it helped start the company but we didn't operate it Mike ran this company and we watched and we watched very closely and carefully and he did something else that was interesting is that he learned how to story tell he learned how to think about where we were going as a business in right media not where we were and so I combined with my brother these two themes sustainable sticky business with storytelling think about where you're going not just where you are and I think as we created moat we thought all right how do you actually turn that into a long-term business and part of the way you do it is by trying to project forward trying to think all right not what are we doing today but where are we going into the future and that really became a critical part of product development a part of our vision of art of of where we wanted to be as a as a business and I think it was a critical part of our success what can our other offers learn from that because I think I see a lot of entrepreneur in Silicon Valley in it and around the world now that entrepreneurships kind of gone global is they get stuck in with Dogma and we got to make this work and sometimes they might not be self aware that they might have to just take their head up and look around and get a feel for what's going on what's your bites to those guys I think you have to be honest with yourself you know as an entrepreneur in your heart of hearts is what's happening to you real you know you should know I I think whether or not what's happening to you is because of some conditions because of one customer that's doing something that's good or bad or because of a broader trend or a broader movement I try to ask questions about not just what does it look like a year from now two years from now three years from now I think about the world ten years from now what do I know to be the case ten years from now I think this is something that Jeff Bezos talks about which is what do you for sure know is going to be the case with your business ten years from now if you can plan towards that you can build something that's sustainable and so we knew ten years from now marketers are still going to want to reach people they're still gonna want a story tell they're still going to want to measure how effective it was in order how effective it was to actually reach those people and so we knew that wouldn't change what might change are the mechanisms how they reach people how they story to tell what platforms they do it on whether it's you know Facebook or snapchat or Pinterest or you whatever the next new platform is that may change but the fact that marketers will need to reach people won't and so we felt really confident that ten years from now that's going to still be the case and I felt if you know that then you can build towards this this vision medium and the channels are all going to change all the time but the stories need to be told that's right and I and interestingly I think that when you start a business you come up with a with a theme you come up with a vision and so for us it was how do marketers tell their stories increasingly in a world that's digital that's not something that's gonna change overnight and I felt like over the long haul that's not going to change very quickly increasingly we're gonna be digital consumers and marketers are gonna have to tell their stories now the business that we started that moat in 2010 ended up changing dramatically we started a crowd-sourced creative marketplace we ended as a measurement and analytics company pretty different place from creative the vision was still the same the vision was still about helping companies marketers tell their stories in a world that's increasingly digital and if you look at successful businesses they tend to have the same vision from when they started now the underlying business may change hopefully the underlying business it and finds the right path but the overall the high level of where you're going ideally doesn't change and I think that's part of the key to success you know that joy that's a great point I think you know I was getting a debate here among entrepreneur entrepreneurs and of investors the word pivot versus adjusting when you have a North Star or a mission you just got to kind of tack with the wind and make it a tail when not a headwind versus a full pivot which might be hey we there's no business here we have to do something different can you talk about the nuances between what a pivot is and and how you find that tail when that the wind and the sails if you will for the entrepreneur hit that hit that vision yeah so first of all any successful business that I've ever seen never starts off how it ends in other words there are always iterations that go through pick any company that you can think of right now they've iterated they've started off with one theme and they've gone in a slight different path so I would argue that every good business is going to iterate now whether you want to call it a pivot or not it I think is more nomenclature or semantics my view is you're gonna iterate the key is having that Northstar so in 10 years what do we believe to be the case forget about what do we believe what do we know to be the case what do we know this is gonna be the case 10 years from now and if you're right about that then it can qualify as your North Star by the way if you don't know ten years from now this is going to be the case then maybe that shouldn't be your North Star maybe that shouldn't be the guiding light for your business but once you get that part right then it almost frees you to be flexible it frees you to say okay so if the the world is moving this way or that way I'm gonna adjust one of the things that I learned from moe was actually somebody gave me advice early on they said go have a thousand meetings go have a thousand meetings in your industry in your category go meet with every single person in the business and I did that it took me probably 18 months but I went out and met with everyone who would take my meeting what I learned from that is that in the b2b world we have an advantage you can talk to your customers your customers will literally tell you here are the issues we're having here the things we're trying to solve for if you can help us solve for this we will pay you money to provide a service to us to actually solve this problem and so I learned wow that's pretty amazing if you actually meet with enough people you get a sense of them are okay you get a sense of what people are buying you get a sense of the trends as my oldest brother says the world kind of slows down a little bit markets move in slow motion when you really get into it and so if you go out and have a thousand meetings in your industry you actually learn what's happening in that business and you can tweak your business accordingly I walked away with with moat feeling like if you're not in a meeting talking your story telling your pitch telling your vision and they're not nodding their head going yep yep yep 100% on the same page then you're not telling them you're not in the right place I love that comment about slowing the game down might be a baseball two batters up there slow that came down watch that ball come in really slow and I think that's a good good advice because you want to slow it down you want make sure you're kind of capturing the right things that's happening at the right time not try to go too fast that's right things don't happen overnight I think oftentimes when you're not in industry and you just read the headlines you think oh my god that's crazy that that this thing happened and that thing happened when it's your space it doesn't move quite that fast there's a work that has to be done contracts have to be put in place you see it evolving and so I I always tell people when you want to get to know an industry read every single piece of content there is about the industry read every article that comes out about it and take as many meetings as you can possibly take in the space and it'll slow down it'll it'll move at a pace that you can kind of go got it it feels like if we do this and this then we can actually start to build a business here and again I think there's a bright line test and b2b if you walk into a meeting then you start telling your story and you're not getting the nods and you're not getting the yep yep yeah that's an issue for us if that's not happening then you're not in the right space doesn't mean you're your North Star is wrong but it means that you got to iterate a bit you have to find your groove I want to change gears a little bit talk about this people first Network concept that I love because you know you hear mobile-first cloud-first and the notion of people first we live in a very social world now you're seeing a lot of stuff happening where you know we're connected now almost with digital hundred percent everyone's kind of got mobile even in emerging countries you got connections yet there's a lot of new dynamics emerging on the social on the social scene and checking around you're well-known for networking you're known for or connecting with people certainly in your area and beyond and so there's two things I want to get your thoughts on one is networks who to work with how do I make decisions on how you want to spend your time with other entrepreneurs or other peers and social entrepreneurship there's not a lot of emphasis around mission driven things these are people dynamics where you're starting to see the role of the relationships between people start to take a really important role in entrepreneurship not just let's hire and fire fast certainly some basic business knowledge that's common sense but as you starting to this next generation of entrepreneurs emerge there's an eye on social mission driven but spending time with the right people what's your thoughts on that so first of all businesses are about people in the end of the day you want to do business with people that you like with people that you trust with people that you want to hang out with that was one of the lessons I learned somewhat early on and I think it's critical businesses are not automated businesses are about alright a group of people come together with a shared idea of what they can do and they can hopefully go support a group of other people who are trying to get their vision done and so once you realize that you realize it's about people you want to build relationships you want to build connections you want to figure out alright how can I help people and hopefully with good karma it's something will happen in my favor at some point and so I always operate under the under the idea that you just try to do good you try to help people and hopefully as a result good things will will happen in terms of social entrepreneurship what I would tell you is that having a mission that you feel deep down inside of you that is not just we're gonna make money and we're gonna deliver on behalf of shareholders yes of course that's important but when you wake up and you go to work or you get online you want to feel something for it you want to feel like alright this is this is something that I feel good about doing when you do that when you know that you've done it right it doesn't feel like work it doesn't feel like a job it feels like you want to wake up and you can't get enough of it and I think that's when you know you've done something right so I think the more that we can lead mission driven businesses mission driven lives the better that that will be in the end of the day I think that life and business converge I think in the end of the day when you do it right it doesn't feel like work and it doesn't feel like you're working or not working it just feels like you're trying to do good you're trying to help other people and hopefully good things happen great stuff the thing I love about digital is you're starting to see that blending of analog and digital where lives it's now part of each other if you could go back and be eighteen and twenty again with all the tools we have out there now yet open source at a whole new level you have everyone's connected what were some of the things that you would do if you had to go back and and and talk to your 18 year old self going into Cornell with your brother a lot more on the table to play with certainly it's easy to do ventures easy to come up with ideas maybe millionaire what are some of the things that you do if you were if you were in your 20 I guess if I went back I would I would tell myself to make big bets and and make them on where you know the future is is is gonna be ten years from now I think often times particular when I was a young entrepreneur you were you were living day to day or week to week where you're going alright we need to get this thing done by this day so that we can do this tomorrow and so we need to fly and stay up all night and and you know end up eating and sort of doing things they're not the best sort of health-wise in order to just try to get things done or what you thought would just get things done I think I would play a longer game and I would encourage myself to think about all right what do I know to be the case ten years from now and how can I focus on that if we go back 20-some years two or three of the biggest companies in the world were really created in Amazon in in Apple in in Google and I think the opportunity existed back then so if I could go back to my buy some apples thought you know I know if I would buy it bought Apple stock but but certainly I would have I would have made longer-term bets but those companies do that I think's phenomenal is they think about where the world is going not where the world is today I think that's great advice and it's interesting too you know you go back and you always yeah everyone has those experiences in life with this day I could have been there they're looking forward is the key and I think one of the interesting things about your journey is you had the I'm in college make some money got got some put some dough in your pocket then you go out and you have some cash you make an investment you ride the way with write media and then you go and do the venture-backed startup talk about the the dynamics and specifically the venture back startup because now the dynamics are changed I mean he'll I Michael do an i CL sudden I get just being a subpoena if I did that but you got all kinds of new opportunities to get funded either the venture capital you did with Mayfield different venture architecture there you mentioned no revenue but funding to go build it out what was different about doing a venture-backed startup versus the other ones yeah I guess what I would say is first of all we have to step back and realize that when we're in these industries we have a hard time understanding what they're doing what venture capitalists do it's just what any money manager does they're doing allocation of capital so that they can get returns for their investors and so in the end of the day they're trying to make bets now the bets that a venture capital makes are different from someone who's buying public equities for sure but the same sort of ideals are there which is they want to make bets on the right companies on the right people so that they can that they can drive profits and in returns and hopefully make a difference in the case of of moe you know we were really impressed by Mayfield we were impressed by the way that they approached the conversation with us the way that they leaned forward I tell entrepreneurs you know when you have venture capitalists meetings if 3 out of 10 of them go well you're in the Hall of Fame it's like baseball most of the time you're not gonna get that perfect chemistry you're not gonna get that feeling where uh there's something interesting here the other thing I tell entrepreneurs is if they're not leaning forward if they're not going you know we could do we could do this this and this I could connect you with so-and-so we could build a business doing this you should think about this that they're not doing that they're probably not the right fit I think about it I'm happily married for for many years with four kids when you meet your spouse you tend to know that that's the right person if you have to go home and say all right well why don't you send me some reasons to try to justify why you might be the right fit for me maybe that's not the right spouse I think it's the same thing with venture capitalism you only want to have chemistry again it comes back to people and so Mayfield I think does a really good job of thinking about people and putting people first in that conversation and it's also a team environment almost because you want to have a spouse and a venture partner who's gonna be there from the good bad and the ugly that's right and be there and that's I think a lot of people don't get that they even want the valuation oh I got a better deal there's no better deal when you look at the long run impact of potentially making the wrong one of the first things that Naveen Chadha from Mayfield said to me when I first met with him as he said this is going to take you 7 to 10 years to build this business and I thought wow that sounds like a long time I'm gonna do it in three yeah but but he was right and one of the things that he said to me after they had invested and we had gone through a couple quarters of working I came in and I actually had pretty high expectations of what we could do as a business I said well if we really push the accelerator I think we could do this number instead of this number and he said relax we have plenty of time don't try to knock another park and you'll make you'll make mistakes if you do that just try to deliver on the numbers that you think you can deliver realistically and focus on building the business and he was right having that approach is is smart it's not about can I make this work next quarter it's about can I make this work over the long run and I learned a lot in that in that process which I really appreciate the conversation or inspirations a lot of entrepreneurs out there and congratulations all your great success I guess the question is what's next for you you got the 10 year vision what's going to happen in the next 10 years which wave will you be riding well I think increasingly we're gonna live in a connected society where data is information and data is knowledge and I think for me I'm excited about a future world where will we use more or less data to make decisions I think more will we make smarter decisions over time hopefully smarter decisions over time will we be able to catch diseases earlier I think so will we be able to leave longer lives I think so and so some of those things end up being themes great join a good heart he's been our cold now for the

BJSHBkQd84o | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJSHBkQd84o | Wed June19 SPX Intraday Trading | hi everybody this is this is the SPX intraday trading is june 19th and we just took a train on the SPX on the puts based on this kind of a price action on the one-minute chart and we are in this trade we are we are hanging in there the RSI is also in the bearish zone and the ticks have been weakening the past two ticks just a little bit of an uptick there but for the most part it is persistent now on the 1-minute chart you don't want to get shaken out just because one or two dots are not conforming I would say on the 5-minute chart if you see two dots then that's something that two dots that go against the grain that's when you want to exit the trade but on the 1-minute chart you want to give it at least five or six or seven dots before you get shaken out of the trade and we can see that now this is going down and you will probably see a much lower tick value once this bar gets over let's see it's just about to get over let's see where it ends now you can see some pretty high volume came in here so part of it could be selling part of it I think was also support because it got beaten down and then it came to the middle of the bar in fact it is in the top half so this can be a very good support point temporarily at least this can be a very good support point nice because nice big volume we are more than the pasture at least eight minutes or so and so that could be a support point and if the RSI also pops its head above the 40 level we can see that the ticks are ticking up so we have a put trade going which may not fare very well if things start to turn around so we would want to get out of this trade even if it's a small profit that's fine but you don't want to stick to a trade where the trade premise is changing so let's just hang in there and see this the previous tick was not extremely conclusive in the sense the RSI still remains in the bearish zone here but clearly the es in terms of the just the chart chart analysis if we just look at the chart it's looking it's looking like this was a good support zone on this bar and now it wants to head higher but of course it has to be supported by the internals which is the cumulative take as well as the price action itself which which is the customer assign okay the XR definitely ticking higher and as you can see this thing is also going a higher now so at this point what we want to do is it's okay if it's just a small profit but let's you know try to get out of this trade and let's try to get into another one because you know the indicators are telling us that things are changing in terms of the current sentiment and so you know you want to get out over there so that's that's okay we'll let's go back to our analysis I mean our analyze tab over here and get ready and let's look for the next trading opportunity so let's just watch this charge for some time as I mentioned today is probably going to be just up and down up and down until the two BMR when the Fed announces their decision so up until then it's probably going to be choppy that doesn't mean that there won't be some you know decent I mean at least some small trades that can go well but in general the market is just waiting for the Fed statement and you can see that by the implied volatility here so the volatility of this series this is expiring today and you know that's 20% and so the plus or minus the 1 standard deviation move is almost 24 points plus or minus 24 points and for something for this index that is expiring today that's an incredible plus or minus value there so the implied volatility is elevated but now once the 2 p.m. hour comes there's going to be a significant volatility crush that's going to come in so you know you don't want to be holding long options at that point in the sense that you know you can trade a long option but you have to let the volatility crush happen and then you get into the trade so it's back down to a negative sentiment at this point things are things are things are looking negative yeah could see the past two bars also ticking down so I say let's try to get back into the same trade here we'll go back to three contracts and just getting it ready so let's let's just wait for this bar to get over there's a lot of choppiness here you can see that so while we are added we might want to just keep buy a call option train also ready and what I'll do is I'll just change this to 14 strikes because we don't need this many strikes there and I can move this up so we have the 2900 put and I have the 29 35 call ready here now see the RSI is jumping out the tics are improving so if that is the case we can go in for a call trade yeah definitely looking like that so I'm going to go in for the 29 35 call 29 35 call I'm just going to give the natural price it should give us a better price yeah exactly it won't work with the 10 minute chart 10 minute is too long for day trading and I would recommend trading decisions be made on the 1-minute chart once it gets well into the day you might want to switch to a 5-minute chart at that point all right so let's see what how the position is doing here we are plus okay I put in five contracts but that's okay it's only 140 Delta okay it's moving up nicely the ticks are also moving up we will be in the safe zone once the RSI crosses the 60 and enters into the bullish zone until then you can say that it's not quite there yet but I mean we're just marginally up it's only up 75 I was looking the other one but we're just up now we are even flat so it's not quite in the bullish zone yet so just like you would you would also want to look at the chart action and as well as volume also because those are you know important things to look at so here you can see bunched up on higher volume and now there's some follow-through coming in now you have the other side custom RSI moving into the bullish zone which is good and you can see our positions improving it's up about $150 and the RSI continues to improve in terms of price action the tick is moving moved to 156 not bad but this bar is not over let's see how it ends ok so that bar ended with the tick value of 87 now let's look at this new new one RSI looking to go into the bullish zone as I mentioned this was a key bar I told Ben shield this earlier when you see price action and the volume action like this that tells you a support zone has been formed here and so I mean it got shot down quite a lot but on higher volume it ended in the top half that is very bullish that is very bullish and sure enough after that we are seeing some bullish action here 250 dollar profit on this position I don't want to give it up because it's made a nice move so I'm going to take off I'm gonna peel off blue contracts and book some profit them you should get a better price no we did not so our size clearly entered the bullish zone the ticks are looking good all right ticks are moving higher and so is the market so is the RSI okay that was that bar ended very well actually that bar ended very well you know the volume was low as it was getting pushed down but it ended up towards the top half of the bar nicely RSI price action looking a little bit to the softer side now it's turning down but of course that bar is still in place so you can't make a judgment until the bar gets over okay you can see that pics are coming down now all right we have a two hundred dollar profit of the trade I'm going to close it because it's not worth keeping the trade on when the ticks up have started to come down so this one was this this one was also and in fact it is in um in small C on a day like this when you know there is uncertainty coming up at 2 to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time you're not going to find huge moves either way because everybody is waiting for this piece of news in off the interest rate so you know that's what that's what you know the general trading sentiment is today it's it's just going to go up and down so in such a on such a day you just take small profits under than 80 or one trade 200 so total is 380 you take away commissions that's about 350 bucks not too bad you just take small hits and move on so let's just watch the charts here and see where the sentiment wants to go the ticks are clearly ticking down however RSI is looking ok so let's come back to our analyze tab and let's see what we have here is a both the put and the call so let's see which way it wants to go we want to get some kind of a better direction here you can see this is the topping out pattern here so maybe temporarily it may be topping out so let's just watch the watch the charts here for a couple of more bars ok still looking a pretty a little bullish there I'm concerned about this bar ended towards the bot towards the bottom half rather on slightly higher volume but that that could be buying as well looks like it is mostly buying the RSI and everything is looking good I'm going to go for the 28 29 40 call if I'm going on the call side yeah okay alright I'm going in for the call again 29 40 this time four dollars so the 11th the watch out fall would be the high of the day which would be this level right here and I don't want to draw a Fibonacci I just wanted to point out this would be the level 29 27 so if it crosses that then that's foolish temporarily so we have the 29 40 call okay so question they trade service haven't shifted to be hundred percent SPX SP by no it's a way we are doing that this week that the SPX trading will be integrated into the day trading services so you know within the main trade service we will do both that's basically what it is reason 424 Delta versus 31 Delta there is no reason there it's just anywhere from 25 to 35 is fine you know this time I think I took 24 because you know it's already made that move so I don't want to spend too much on the option price I mean you know it could be you know until it takes out this high if it takes out this high then I would be more convinced although the RSI is dipping down it is still in the bullish range so that tells you you can stay in the Train until that changes let's see what happens to the ticket certainly some down down there after coming here this is the this is exactly why I didn't want to take too big of a trade here you have to wait for this bar to get over but the ticks don't show any weakness the ticks are not showing weakness it's the it's the price action that's showing the weakness but the ticks per se but of course we have to wait for the bar to get over that tick just had a negative tick here but still it's not too bad it's still positive this one is ticking low this one is ticking lower okay looking a little bearish there but on all three bars if you see the volume is not that great it's actually the lowest of the volumes of pretty much the whole thing so it's possible that it's I wouldn't be surprised if this starts ticking up now so what this is telling is that the selling pressure is not there when you have these big red bars but the volume is low the selling pressure is not there yeah I can see this one is trying to recover here so this is the day where we'll be flatlining in the sense we'll be up you know from the 0-9 will be up maybe two or three points or down two or three points and it's just going to meander that way because we are mating on this big event at 2:00 p.m. all right you can see an uptick on the ticks but you have to wait for the bar to get over you can see it turn around in the RS I also know I will not be live at 2:00 p.m. no chance I'm in India so it's going to be too late but the screens will be on okay the screens will be on so the webinar will be on still so you guys can look at the screens and take the trades and once you know this methodology what you're looking for I think that's and that's how the data oh yeah I mean come on you know you've been part of the day trading service so you know that's how it works after after the first half an hour one hour then the screens are on for the rest of the session RSI is in no-man's land between the 40 and 60 ticks ticking down a little bit and we have one two three four five six six ticks to the lower side okay if this bar doesn't shape up then you would just want to get out of this rain yeah definitely get out of this rain that's moving even lower I'm going to just keep it ready let's see so the RSI at this point is not telling us anything it's in between the 40 and 60 levels so it's a no-man's land so what we have to look at is the ticks yeah as I said in on the 1-minute chart I would say at least six or seven bars on the five-minute chart two bars but certainly the trend as you can see from that just looking at the chart itself it is down the trend is down so you don't want to get this straight run away when you switch to five minutes after one or two hours I would say more like two or three hours that's when you would switch to the five minute and there's no need to do to switch to the five are to the five minutes also you would only want to switch if you want to get a slightly larger perspective from the chart so if we shift it to a five minute chart now you'll see that we had you know so so this is what you know this is noisy you know you can't make out anything from here so obviously it's too soon to shift it to a five minute chart if you see a pattern then that's what you want to do okay the RSI is dipped into the bearish zone from a price action standpoint let's watch the ticks let's see how this one ends okay the good sign is RSI is coming out so price action is okay the ticks need to improve a little bit in my opinion so you can see we've stayed in this trade for quite long and you know the to be honest I think we took it at somewhat of a high level over here and so we are facing the heat from this kind of price action so in this kind of a scenario whatever the original trade premise was it's probably not valid anymore in the sense that you know you took the trade somewhere on this bar or this bar I think which was at a high level already and I should have actually waited to for it to take out this high that's when the bullish sign comes but let's see now there's some optics coming the RSI is looking okay so let's see if we can pull the pull out of this trade at least we're with the break-even so what do you see here we are negative 50 on this the negative 50 on this train so if you see our monitor this is what we are looking at negative 50 on this train not too bad but I would want to see the tics improve you know otherwise just the price action improving is not enough all right there we go okay now that jumped quite a bit so so that that's that's a good sign all right now that jumped quite a bit you can see jump to 242 so I would expect to see some optics in the price action also and the RSI to go into the bullet zone because there is a big jump in ticks ultimately the RSI is a price trend and therefore you know it's not definitive the internals is much more of a reliable indicator than the price action the price action is just a confirmation indicator but let's see how this how this tick ends it are ticked up nicely to 242 so it's dropped down to 163 okay that was a downtick here and you can see even the RSI going into the bearish mode and so you can see this now now it's deteriorating so it's just time to get out of this trade it's okay if it's a loss but you know today being the game it is like I said you're going to see see see choppiness right through the markets here so let's just watch to see if there's a more clear or direction ticks are definitely going down and so is the RSI so let's just watch this charge thanks so just like on the upside you would want to see it now you obviously some bearish as price action as well as the ticks going on however you know this is a support zone this is a support zone so you would want to see it take this down and until then there's no point in taking a trade because it's just going to be enter here and there so ether it takes takes out this low or it takes out this high that's when you know you would want to go for a trade right now so let's just watch here so unfortunately today we are caught in this what I would call a fundamental event you know the FOMC announcement so it's just going to be plus or minus three for points from the mean and you know sometimes it look like it's bearish some time is going to look like it's bullish so anyway so in that sense today is not the perfect day for this but we can't do anything about that we still have two more days this week Thursday and Friday so we'll try to get a better understanding I'm going to zero and I mean make the chart a little little wider so you'll get a bigger perspective here and I'll just leave it here because you know until and there's not going to be a strong sentiment either way today because of this announcement so you know you'll see a bounce from here and go back up and this is that this support level over here right now I'd already try to breach it once now it's trying again so we'll just watch anyway so I'm going to just leave the screens on but I don't see a decent trade in this kind of an environment because of the announcement today | Hari Swaminathan |

[Music] blessed be the name of the Lord 28. [Music] Matthew 11-28 verse come unto me all ye that label and a heavy ladder let's read on together and I will give you rest he says take my yoke upon you and lean on me for I am meek and lonely in heart and ye shall find rest for your souls he said for my yoke is easy and my burden is light I want to admonish us tonight very briefly on the subject of peace is one attribute that is grossly lacking in the world today when you put on your television all you hear is very bad negative news this person bombing this nation this person doing this when you come to our own Nation all kinds of stories and um if we do not learn how a Believer is supposed to leave especially in our world today we will depress ourselves we will destroy ourselves are we together now our hospitals are full of people who have inflicted themselves with needless diseases the rate high blood pressure used to be a disease for old people but right now you find teenagers in the hospital with high blood pressure stroke and all kinds of things the turbulence of living in today's world is catching up with so many people depression swallowing people up there are so many people who beginning from the first of this month probably will not rest until the 1st of January they are hoping to get the money to buy the cow for Christmas the rice some of you are depressing yourself over your transport excuse me your transport fare back home all kinds of things listen let me tell you something peace is one of the cardinal representations of the presence of the Kingdom the Bible says the kingdom of God is not in meat and drink are we together but in what righteousness peace not just a state of quiet it's a state of rest that's what Jesus said he will give he said come on to me and I will give you rest is from the word shalom it's not just a a state of non-disturbance is a state of rest the psalm is put it in a very beautiful way he says um he restores my soul he says he leads me beside the Steel Waters [Music] the more of a leader you become the more you will see the need for peace in your life and the need to be an advocate of that peace Lord make us instruments where there Let Your Love increase [Music] what's the Pride and Prejudice shall see when we are in your instrument [Music] the first revelation I want to give you about peace and a state of rest is that it is a choice has no it's not happening around you listen listen peace has nothing to do with the external environment there are so many people who tell you I don't have peace because I don't have money how can I have peace I don't have peace because I'm not married I don't have peace because there's no admission I don't have peace because I have a carryover or no job or no child um Satan understands that men are cannily minded are we together he knows that the impulses of the canal man is based on the things around him and so he takes advantage of the happenings in our lives all right and then brings us to a point where we cannot enjoy this Shalom this restfulness there's so many people worried you see young people just sit like this and you ask them when they say life and you're wondering what is making that person so depressed what is life they only set of people we believe should have peace are those who die that's why we tell them rest in not enjoy not in love because we have informed ourselves that peace is only for dead people once you are alive in this world we have programmed ourselves to believe that it is strange for a man to be a peaceful person [Music] peace is not quietness a cough noise no p is state of rest a settled state of rest that is based on the revelation of who God is and the Integrity of his person [Music] Hallelujah believe me you have mastered The Art of Living if you sustain a technology in the spirit to generate peace regardless of situations and circumstances at that point you are guaranteed to live everyone say peace one of the greatest blessings that Jesus brings to us is peace not just salvation but peace you can have all the money in the world and with it will come multiplied troubles there are people who are more peaceful poor than they are now millionaires but cannot sleep are we together now have you not read what Solomon said he said here the conclusion of the matter he said of reading many books there is no end and much study is a wariness to the soul he said but this is the conclusion of the matter share God and keep his Commandments then he says this is the whole duty of man there's too much in this life to disturb your peace every 24 hour in your life is full of enough trouble to jeopardize your life you don't have to be a bad person the world we live in from the person who greets you in the morning to the one you quarrel with before sleeping there's so many people who cannot sleep you ask them why they say Kai well I'm a lenient person ABI they are treating me too much in this life this is what they're thinking about there are ideologies that have robbed us of the peace of God the Bible says that peace surpasses all understanding it's not scientific you don't calculate it is part of the true representations of a spiritual man a spiritual man has sustained a system in the spirit to be peaceful is that of rest time the way people worry the way people depress themselves is a dangerous thing God gave me this word that in this season it's important for us to come once again into this Covenant of peace nothing missing nothing broken nothing that is an emergency enough to rob you of that joy and that restfulness that comes in knowing who Christ is Hallelujah our world is full of worry everybody say worry Jesus dedicated a whole chapter Matthew chapter 6 talking about worry the Bible says do not worry listen do you know why people lose their peace what to eat what where are we together and all the mundane cares of life from Marriage to children to money to lack of it to too much of it to human beings there's too much to Rob us of our peace husbands have lost relationships with their wives because of the cares of this world lack of peace many homes today have become habitations of worry and stress the tension that you see in the life of people is too much but there is a system there is a technology in the spirit that can keep a man restful may that be your experience listen I'm telling you if you are not a man and a woman of Peace you are not working in the experience of the kingdom it has nothing to do with whether you have money in your pocket or not many of us have tried our peace to naira and Kabul so when you check and you find hundred thousand when Pastor femi gave the testimony of the millions coming I saw the relief if it's not your money but just the the fact that money is available gave a lot of us that sigh of relief and I felt very disappointed if you allow money to Define your peace or otherwise you make yourself a slave to Satan how many people smile only at the end of the month have you seen the way people are happy when they are slotting their ATM even if there's nothing just the Consciousness that I'm around money it's a very demonic thing listen listen this is the last teaching for the year it's a very demonic way to live you cannot tie your peace to anything in time because it will kill you fast your peace must be tied to a person not things your peace must be tied to a person his name is Jesus Oh I like Joe come on the Bible tells us that joke when everything whether he had it or not of course he was human but the Bible lets us know that job the Bible says he is seen not with his mouth [Music] foreign [Music] cgp and you see that everything works out fine then you have peace look look at how worry is killing killing so many people is one of Satan's greatest Arsenal in our day worry anxiety depression hear what Jesus said John 14. John 14 are you getting blessed tonight John 14 [Music] verse 27 John 14 27. can we read it one two read not a bank account listen peace I live with you so that you are not confused not peace that comes from money he said my peace there is a type that God gives there is a type that the world gives the peace you get when you receive salary the peace you get when your insecurities are gone people consult witches and wizard today because of lack of confidence in God insecurity has depressed men insecurity causes lack of peace is that my peace I give to you it says not as the world given that means there is a kind of Peace you get in this world peace that is tied to things are we together now [Music] and so there's depression everywhere you come and you find out that there's no light oh never and you are angry and the devil says that's right I have found out that circumstances can control the peace cage of this person and somebody just annoys you you receive a very very nasty text from somebody and while you are meditating upon it you hear that ah my mind is sick at home and you see that you say Kai what is this life about and Satan says this is it this is exactly the state I want because every time righteousness peace and joy cohabits the kingdom must find expression here and so Satan knows that every time I can take one of these factors away it's impossible for that person to experience the kingdom do you not know that with all your depression five minutes without your breath and there's nothing to talk about again truly human beings are really foolish the word of God gives us wisdom you find out the way we depress ourselves over several things I once met a gentleman and I saw you so worried I said why he said at my age my father had a car hi so [Music] and so I told him I said what does that mean you can imagine I can't make myself a slate like that even if I'm going to think let me think of something Noble constructed Metals stopping you from sleeping in the night is that not idolatry are we together now [Music] think of the things that depress us brothers and sisters and you find out that at the root of them do you know that most of the things that are free in life they are the most important things the things that God knows that money cannot buy he gave you freely the air you breathe the blessings of relationships the gift of Salvation most of the things we depress ourselves about the truth is we can live without them we have chosen based on an ideology to pressure ourselves look at the lovely sister that came to share about her phone getting bad how many people will not sleep today if I'm robbers take well not I'm Robert's don't steal phone I'm that a thief anybody just carries your phone this gets missing and you see them moving around where is my phone they wake up by two they wake up by three they go to Zaria City I must find out who did this Jesus said my peace I live with you coinonia not as the world gives you frustrate Satan when you have found a system that does not disrupt your peace you have found a system that maintains your rest Hallelujah when Satan sees that nothing in time can affect this state of restfulness we hate because we do not have the peace of God we depress ourselves we are sick sick and sick and sick people going to the hospital the doctors cannot find anything because they are depressing themselves you you are so depressed you fall down and not even know you're falling down somebody says stand up and say you mean I fell down what were you thinking about at what age [Music] I refuse to allow anything in time it's a choice I reject it I refuse to allow anything in time corrupt that restful State it's a state that found that it's only possible in Christ a state of rest you will never notice peace if you are outside of Christ there is a revelation that brings you to this peace let me tell you what that Revelation is if God does not open a door it cannot be opened ah and if God opens that door it cannot be closed I have learned by experience that worry does not solve anything it only complicates your life and your problems how many ladies you see them 25 depressed why husband what is that [Music] you are so passionate and depressed over your husband the day he comes to I even annoyed that he has come do you know there is a way you can worry over it does not bless you even when it comes the worry is too much even the miracle you no longer celebrate it Jesus said my peace I live with you give it to us again media my peace John 14. 27 my peace there is a kind that he gives [Music] he says not as the world gives let not your heart be what is the opposite of peace a troubled heart [Music] he said let not your heart in other words permit it not choose to refuse your heart from being troubled he said neither Let It Be these are the things that shook the peace of God fear fear the fear of the future how many young people are afraid of the future what will my life become you are afraid of getting admission you are now afraid of graduating you are afraid of getting a job you are afraid of not getting one ah he leads me and guides me [Music] to my place of Destiny with me and guides me to the city [Music] to my place of Destiny anxiety is something that is is okay with the natural man is part of our build up as natural men the Bible says be anxious for nothing anxiety right anxiety anxiety has depressed people it is that lack of peace anxiousness anxious about everything oh I want to know what tomorrow holds I want to know what this was and we we're going to all kinds of ungodly strategies because we are afraid how many parents have gone to make sacrifices for their children tell me what the future of my child will be will it be great will it not be great tell me this and they say okay go and bring a cow go and bring a ram I want to know I'm afraid let me know if tell me if I will live up to 10 years Papa there is a state of restfulness that when you wake up in the morning you give you praise and you say Thank You Lord For Peace you hear news that is depressing and you say Lord in all things I cannot explain what has happened but Lord I Thank you I I may not know the details but one thing I know is that you are faithful for the things you've done for me [Applause] for the life you've gained draw me close to you [Music] what more can I say again [Music] oh yeah [Music] foreign [Music] as too much anxiety in our world we are afraid we are insecure right we are troubled over nothing what students when result is about to come out something that will be pasted and you will know anxiety makes people to be roaming around they see a lecturer good afternoon sir did I pass just be patient something that in the next 10 minutes will be pasted there and will be left there anxiety do you know anxiety can preempt you and open up Seasons that was not supposed to be open anxiety can make you do things you can go ahead of your destiny to your detriment [Music] God that surpasses all understanding and people look at you if you are a man of Peace you must be strange because people look at you and say is it not you they said your father died and you say well I cried but to him be all the clothes say no no no let's go and find out we must stress the root of this and you say God is faithful you are rejoicing and they tell you one million has entered your account you see I Rejoice but it doesn't make any difference I am still restful and God says so the one million you say well I'm happy it doesn't change anything and the devil says Where in the world do I get this person how come you have a constant state of rest regardless of what happens you are in a relationship with a guy you are happy planning your wedding and he looks and says I'm not doing it and while you cry you say Lord you are faithful I may not have him but I have you give me you everything else can wait give me you I hope I'm not too late [Music] listen many of us do not know the value and the Treasure of having Jesus Christ I know we we profess it we claim we know but the truth is is not in our lives the our our restfulness shows Jesus there is something that is higher than him in our life listen if I give you one million some right let me use money so that we understand if I give you one million some and you see five naira falling on the ground will you leave the one million to pick it if you leave the one million to pick it what does that mean it's impossible for you to say I value this that's what that's what is responsible for the turbulence in our lives you have the greatest gift and you throw him away and you are looking at other things that are mundane because in your mind although we claim through our songs that is everything but the truth of the matter is that our passion and Obsession about things of a lesser value show that they are out they are truly the Gods in our life when a man has Jesus Christ he said please hear me I know we live in a society that thinks what I'm saying is old school when a man has the Christ and the revelation of the operation of the Kingdom you have the greatest gift in your life brothers and sisters whether it Plenty or in little you are a man of peace how many gentlemen are about to be bad fathers because their joy and their peace is tied to things around the moment the man is promoted everybody receives the joy the moment he fights with somebody in the office everybody is going to receive a share of that anger as a bad life I don't have enemies in my life believe me I cannot hate a man I know this sounds arrogant it's not the natural Joshua cell man about human but I cannot that quality is no longer in me the light of God has consumed me I found a key love never fails when was the last time they taught you this when they were teaching you on an antidote against failure did they ever teach you that love never what does never mean there is no possibility love so I live a very restful life if I go back and I find my place born to ashes I will look at it and say wow the only pain is I'll say I did not carry my books where I write the Visions in my life but in five minutes I'm rejoicing Satan has lost the art of worrying me I I humiliate him with my peace are we together I can sit down with a cup of Garry and rejoice the same way I will sit down with turkey I can sit down in a five-star hotel and rejoice the same way I will sit down in a mat if that is not your case you are already in deception the devil is about to hack your life into pieces I will never no no no no no where whether I'm what I'm wearing a watch of hundred thousand or wearing a rubber watch of 50 naira it does not make any difference as far as peace is concerned are we together whether you are wearing a shirt of one million or you are wearing a shirt of 10 naira it doesn't make any difference never allow the things around you to find your state of rest you are not a Christian you are not a true Christian I'm telling you this when that happens I have found life I have found peace I'm not teaching you to be irresponsible but I am telling you you must start living when you learn to be peaceful that nothing in time can disrupt that restfulness whether in tears or in Joy whether in plenty or in little you have learned to maintain a spiritual equilibrium there is a there is a a spiritual buffer nothing will take you out of that state you are a true spiritual man some of us are probably seated right now depressed I want to travel tomorrow God knows I need 2 000. what I have is 500 because of one five you will not sleep and you're not sleeping will not bring it you see the trouble worry was never designed to bring Solutions it was designed to depress you if I don't trust myself why can't I trust if you don't trust yourself trust God my peace I move up brothers and sisters I am amazed every 24 hours I watch people and I am shocked as they are at their ideology why do people think this way why can't they be peaceful why won't you choose to be peaceful listen some of you look at you're not even so old but look look at the way your life is depressed worry and anger and hatred always cynical always on the negative side talking about everything that is not working in your life and the life of people why don't you change what you see why don't you change what you see I don't see negative things all I see is the faithfulness of God in my life all I see is the mercy of God it is the goodness of God in my life God has been good to me if he never blesses me in this life he does not owe me anything I owe him my life and Eternity you kept ten thousand now I got missing you are crying you are yelling you are quoting scripture the prayers you would not have prayed to bring you into intimacy you pray for two hours and you start checking oh God your word said evil God who call it the dead and collect the things that be not as though they were Lord me I'm saying this thing is my own he must come I'm telling you it's not the prayer of faith it's the prayer of selfishness and idolatry the greatest gift I have in my life listen it's not the anointing the greatest gift I have in my life is not money the greatest gift I have in my life is not people the greatest gift I have in my life is the presence of Jesus ah in life and in death the worst that can happen to me is that I will die you will cry for seven days and say ah he taught us about long life it doesn't matter I'm good okay and at the end of it many of us are already on our way to produce bad families because of depression what is wrong no money how can I be happy are you not seeing what is happening in Nigeria buhari's government is this and that and that how is it providing for your needs have you not read my God shall supply leave that one Journey we are talking about real issues now you are not a Christian a True Believer listen a True Believer is one who has take his life on God's word I believe the word of God to death to death to death I believe the word of God foreign revolves around it I will never allow anything in this life to depress me it does not have that ability [Music] if I'm told today that any of my loved one is dead God forbid I will cry but in it I will get up and the only song that will come out of my lips is the song of his faithfulness faithful are you Lord faithful life you Lord fake we are saying faithful life [Music] listen create a limit for the effect of the things in this life as far as your relationship with God the presence of Jesus is more than gold is more than a billion dollars the presence of Jesus is more than coinonia it's more I will give up coin only one thousand times for the presence of Jesus I will give up anything and I mean it in this life no I will give give aside every accomplishment and everything for the presence of Jesus that's the gift I have I you hear people say ah my reputation is at stake I don't even have one ah I don't have one I'm telling you my reputation is his reputation I'm too young to kill myself with that kind of ideology I have no reputation [Music] me thank you I want you to get a revelation tonight inside and outside as we wrap up this year make a choice that for the rest of my god-given life I choose peace I choice no matter what happens in my life I made that choice people see you and say you are always laughing then they come to your house and find out that the only thing here is water there's no Gary and they say so why are you laughing what's the laughter for [Music] laughter is because you have come into Oneness with one who is greater than anything that can come see let me tell you please please the affection you have for things you hear me say this all the time you must get to a point in your life going on here where nothing is to steal away the presence of Jesus when [Music] John or not John now when Peter was about to die they were about to kill the body right they put him on the cross and he said no they cannot crucify me the same way They Crucified My Savior look at the man he said turn me upside down I am not worthy to be crucified that way what did these people know that in the midst of their depression Paul will write a letter encouraging people and Paul will say I'm in James in Chains a man in Chains telling people count it all joy my brethren when you go through diverse Temptations knowing this that the trying of your faith work and patience in Chains you are not in Chains yet we are depressed please I want you to I want you to weary Satan with your passion for Jesus Christ where is Satan with your passion for the things of God oh I wanted to give you ten thousand I no longer will give you say to God be the glory and he said what kind of person are you is it that you don't get angry you have sustained the system for as long as God is alive I remain peaceful my depression will start the day someone can Dethrone him and then at that point I know that my life is no longer secure listen the oldest man on is not up to 120 so what is the vanity are we together the vanity in this life that makes us to get up we are pursuing car you are pursuing Jeep you are pursuing this you are pursuing that oh they said in the village I'm not successful let me prove to them who cares are they successful they in the village are they successful [Music] they said they don't marry fast in our family that's their cup of tea Frankly Speaking see learn learn to learn to ignore Satan is one way to conquer him ignore his proposals and you will step into a state of rest someone looks and says have you gotten the admission say why now ah say God is faithful I know that he makes all things beautiful in his time they say oh forget that you know you are disappointing us and you you leave them away and when you go the devil will say think on these things and you say no the Bible says finally Brethren whatsoever things are pure whatsoever things are true whatsoever things are noble if there be a good report if there be any praise is a think on Disney okay this unemployment why are we like this and then you turn to your friend say why are we suffering like this or Nigeria they know but you are thinking like a non-Christian the peace of God see let me tell you what will happen if you are living in peace men must hate you because you see there is a popular saying that misery likes company when people are frustrated they try to look for those who are like them so that they can form a team we the committee of humiliated people and the moment you refuse it they interpret it as Pride what are you saying are you not older than us at least me I'm 28 you you are 32 you are not depressed you are not joining us

different to ignore the mockery and maintain the Peace of the Kingdom there's too much depression in our world and I wonder I wonder I wonder [Music] the person who is depressed humanly speaking does not even have any guarantee whether you wake up the next day yet he's thinking people have accident under the me thank you depression makes them to begin to hallucinate they take the road is this way where us is this way they go and Bash into a tree and die yeah I thought I saw the Ben this way frustration foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah [Music] I remember a man whose car had accident when he came and saw the car burning he fell down there and died if that guy gets to heaven and I'm Jesus this is the first thing I'm going to do I'll say what brought you here and he said I died of what he said God I would say go back he must go back for that you must win at least a thousand Souls oh no come on you don't die and enter the Gates of Heaven if I'm Jesus you must go back and win souls one by one not General one by one you die because your car caught fire [Music] they stole your clothes from January you are still remembering it now see listen do you let me tell you something anything you hold on to you are telling God this is the limit of my life don't ever leave me Beyond this limit because at this point this has become my God I love him you'll never hear me pray all those nonsense prayers oh God why me why all of these things why oh God won't you won't you no no no no no I'm a lover of your presence friends [Music] Jesus [Applause] Lover of your presence [Music] refuse to get hot stop this anxiety and this rage right have you seen friends do this I believe you don't do it um Christians should not do that but they are friends that do that um they deliberately look for trouble they keep saying things and instigating anger and then they laugh there are people who if they laugh at you there is a way they laugh at you do you have such kind of people in your life oh my goodness they laugh at you in a way that you you know you you try to check I see that I'm stupid am I a clown what is the meaning of all this if you live your life like that there are many of those kinds of people around the world you will hate yourself and you will translate that hatred every other person around you I love myself God knows I love myself I've said it again and again here that philosophy of hanging yourself even if I were not born again it would never happen to hang myself no I'd rather die in a sleep but not to hang myself who buys the Rope me go to the market and buy a rope to hang myself foreign [Music] shout it I choose to be peaceful I make up my mind to be a person of peace go home with this mindset and see how you will discomfort a lot of people because for some of you they are waiting for you there is a part of the Jesus that has been it's like a pie they left it for you they are hoping that you come and they say come and tell us your version of The Suffering in Nigeria and he said well I I have just one thing to say God is faithful and I say please please let's be real we are also Christians he said this is my reality I mean it I'm not playing games and then they get angry right people always get angry when you don't conform [Music] I once met a woman who was angry said that she's been buried for a number of years and this was a woman said I went to the hospital they said I'm okay they said I'm okay it's my husband that knows what A and B and C and you know I don't want he has his own medical descent and all of that he's the one blah blah blah blah blah from his father's side from this and that and I knew that this woman would not carry a child for a long time with this bad attitude the kingdom cannot come because there is no peace it's an equation there must be righteousness there must be peace and there must be Joy when these three cohabits it grants access it's like a spiritual code [Music] Hallelujah and I looked at the woman I said madam the issue is not to throw blames and say it's your husband to have become one that's what the Bible says if you get money now will you save his money or will you say it's our money and I encourage her and pray peace I give unto you I don't know what you are going through right now but let me tell you I don't want to know one thing I know is that

please 27 my peace I give to you my peace I give unto you the Bible says one of the names you will be called is the Prince of Peace not the prince of worry look at Jesus on the cross going through the Pains of the nail and then he looks at John and says John behold your mother mother behold your son what kind of peace is that a 33 year old man naked on the cross he would have been angry look at Steven when they were about to Stone him looked into heaven the only guy that did what Jesus did was advocating forgiveness for the people as a state of Peace may God make you a man and a woman of peace I'm telling you in plenty it does not change you in not plenty it does not change you right when people annoy you and instead of you balling around you just find a song of Melody in moments like

still remain a child in his presence to tremble at his word nothing is too serious in life to depress me nothing is too serious in life to make me hate people and get depressed all around no joy no

if there's food to eat I make God responsible for my life I play my own part of the deal and I don't I never dabble into his part it's God's word Lord I leave it to you I have done my own part of faithfulness I know you have you are too faithful and then you rest [Music] who are going to hand over you know let me tell you how to know the area you've not handed over to God the one you think

full of troubles are we together he's called the Ancient of Days don't think he's not aware of your challenges but he still tells you my peace I give to you the second prayer point is you are going to lay aside every trouble bring it before him and say Lord this is what is disturbing me this is that which is troubling me I I bring it to your throne lift your voice and pray foreign I bring it before your throne oh I pick it before your throne I exchange my burden for your body I exchange my yoke for your yoke your yoke is easy your burden is light Lord that which have been carried is killing me [Music] foreign [Music] Hallelujah the last prayer Point listen the last prayer point is a cry from your heart you're going to cry and say Lord I lose affection for anything that is not you I can use

above prestige peace above accomplishments this must be your understanding you must embrace the peace of God above and beyond every other thing I want to prophesy to you in closing Hosea chapter 12 verse 13. help us media Hosea 12 13. foreign for the year many of us from tomorrow will be traveling you cannot [Music] ignore the place of Prophecy it says I'm by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt and by a prophet was he preserved listen when Israel cried in Egypt God did not go to them to rescue them God went to a man and said are you hearing my people cry are we together God would have gone to Egypt and say okay I have come but God went to a man and left the salvation of the people in the hand of a man he says by a man by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt right he says I'm by a prophet was he Israel preserved listen one of the greatest Revelations I've had this year is understanding the operation of the body of Christ [Music] the Bible says that the church give us Ephesians chapter 2 please let us look at that one scripture I'm about to prophesy to you and I need you to have this understanding Ephesians foreign [Music] let's look at 19 and 20. 19 and 20 quickly please Ephesians 2 19 now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the Saints and he said all of you are members of the household of God right 21 okay 20 he says an appeal upon what the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets Jesus Christ himself being the Chief Cornerstone listen you must understand how God built the body he said the moment get born again there are two Ministries you must encounter if your destiny must arise he says You must encounter this foundational Ministries the ministries of the Apostles and the prophets is not about human worship is how God used the kingdom he said it is built upon this truth Foundation their means upon this truth this Revelation is called the foundation of the Lord he said nevertheless the foundation of the Lord does what stands sure you can't change it instantial so by a prophet every time people cry God never comes to them he comes to them to a man go and read your Bible when there was farmer God came to a man there are human beings that God have sent that hold the prayer points of people that carry anointings that can open the Destinies of people but the Bible tells us that you have a role to play let's look at that one scripture second chronicles 20 20 right your job is to believe second chronicles 20 20. he said believe in the Lord your God so you shall be established but it's not enough to just believe in God he said Believe In His prophets he didn't say the prophets Believe In His prophets so shall he make progress so shall he do well so shall he Prosper see this is the formula don't try to create another one you will punish yourself for nothing the church was built on the foundations every time God hears the Cry of a people he goes to a man and he says you had your cry I thought God will come to Egypt by himself but he went to Moses [Music] when creation was crying in sin Jesus had to become a man because there's such a no man was righteous enough so Jesus became a man even God did not come directly he had to become flesh are you not seeing how it works when the revelation of the of the New Testament was to come to the body a man had to be found in the name of apostle Paul and he brought that Fellowship of the to the body of Christ when Satan wants to destroy you he will make you believe in God and disrespect His prophets are you saying that he won't tell you to stop believing in God you say believe in God after all everybody has equal access to God and you will fool yourself and see that you are praying and fasting but nothing is happening when do we do in zaraphat was in trouble God went to a man immediately and said I have commanded you go are you not seeing it when Samaria was in trouble I thought God would have gone to them he never went to the lepers he brought in a man and he said by this time the moment the man spoke God looked for lepers in other words the tool God will use is not necessary let the prophecy just come he can use anything and acts head can float back when it still comes but it must be at the instruction of the prophet he said Allah's Master for it was borrowed and he said well fail it if that man threw a stick nothing would happen but he did it at the world prophecy is powerful I learned this from God's servant Bishop David he has changed the lives of people with prophecy but it only works to them that believe you don't receive a prophetic word from a colleague you don't receive a prophetic word from a friend I've taught it here there are individuals that are not pure human beings lift your hands God's ability thoughts abilities [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hallelujah I've shared with you again and again my Visions how that I Swan Endless Sea of people and they were crying no food no water and I said who is the cause and they pointed at me and I was afraid because some people had chased me to come into that small where I was hiding and I made up my mind I said I was still going to go out and rescue them if I perish I perish the moment I opened the door I saw a giant and he held my hand and he said I will walk with you brothers and sisters this is not is not about human beings or human boosting it's about God's spiritual system arguing it is foolishness there are many prisoners today pain [Music] the foundation of the Lord and the Bible says that Foundation is the ministry of their Apostolic and the prophetic I want you to speak over your life listen the year is not too late for God to finish what he said he would do are we together oh no come on we have at least 20 more days it doesn't take time is it not a prophet of God that said by this time tomorrow it doesn't take time it is only on to men according to their faith don't say it's the end of the year God does not work with human calendar he works with his work the moment the word of God comes he said he said let there be and there was in the name that is above all names [Music] I prophesy over your life every package that is meant to come into your destiny in this year of the rain is yet to be delivered I prophesy to your life right now in the name of Jesus I prophesied into your life right now in the name of Jesus I prophesy into your life right now in the name of Jesus [Applause] every request you have dropped here from January February March April May and now is December and it looks like God has

oounbCBKBzk | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oounbCBKBzk | Drifting in RDS ( Russian Drift Series ) Taking a win online event - 900° wheel gameplay | hello and welcome back here to channel i'm evil rabbit we are here on rds russian drift series here on steam on the pc we'll be seeing if we can still drift here in rds we do have a very aggressive 370z back there that we have had in the game we haven't done any type of driving in this game recently so i'm definitely very curious to see if we can get this car sideways on maybe some toilets so make sure you follow me on social media i'll just found in the description box below let's get to it rds is a game that i've had in my steam that i haven't used recently but now we're here going to do some offline practice and we're going to look at some togay roads i believe we have yep we have a royal toe gate from japan we're going to run this and just see what we can do on this car hopefully we can uh not totally wreck this car out if you guys want to keep seeing this on channel make sure you guys let me know down in the comment section down below rds definitely a very fun game it doesn't have any first person cameras that i know about because every time i try to change cameras it's outside so uh full send because we just have roof or hood and some cinematic cameras so we're gonna get our lights turned on we do have hazard lights too if we want them we'll send here on this 370. can't break it in pop that in the third almost hitting the wall there no don't lose it like i said haven't been on this in a minute so we can take a second to get used to it tune on this car not sure what it is what's here maybe [Applause] that's definitely uh a little bit uh loose in the rear of this car oh a little wall tap we may have to adjust some tuning on this don't crash this game is definitely uh way different than all the other drift games out there that i've played on a lot of people were telling me to try this so like that's an aggressive slowdown [Applause] yep try not to die just banging redline we are definitely doing some uh damage to r2j i noticed that down below we were much higher than 87 when we started this run so begging redline probably not the best choice [Music] this is actually a quite fun track and uh we're not doing too bad i'm actually quite impressed with no there was there was that big that big hit on the wall right gear kick so we may go and see if we can't get some more money maybe make this car a v8 power car [Music] although you gotta love that uh uj going on in this car right now a little uh front wall tap nothing major kind of losing angle there though [Music] we got a bit of a tunnel this should be interesting oh that's the end of the track so we could definitely still drift here in our ds and it's definitely a lot of fun we're gonna go this way though is this just a new parking lot yep [Music] so i feel like we need to go see if we can get online and go against some other people and see if we can't get some more money unlocked we're going to competitions believe it's shadow match because i don't think there is any online lock there yep no okay so we're gonna go into maybe we

PdgBj3FgOPY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdgBj3FgOPY | Senator Ron Wyden & Jerry Berman on Section 230 | thank you Jim it's great having you here Danny Todd and all of you a lot of old faces I remember because the senator has to us I'm going to tell a very truncated story my job today was to introduce senator Wyden and also tell you how 2:30 came about that's really simple without senator Wyden and representative Vince representative Cox and retro and Wyden we wouldn't have section 230 it's just impossible to imagine how the internet would have grown if indecent communication was was the law of the land and intermediaries were responsible for all the content that was on there their sites whether it's Twitter or Facebook you just have to try and imagine that but that's what Congress was trying to do in the middle of rewriting the Telecommunications Act the iron is they when it came to the internet title 5 it was a footnote to the great television rewrite they said let's regulate it and they were trying to protect children there was a hub of and big concern about pornography Time magazine had a story the senator had a blue book full of obscene pictures that Senator Gulf look at but they really missed the fact that this was not television it wasn't one too many you couldn't edit it it was many too many communications and that user empowerment was the way to go to empower parents and so a lot of intermediaries create safe spaces for kids that act as good Samaritans but not face liability we try we formed an intern act the working group of 80 organizations many of the organizations that are in this room AOL prodigy progress and Freedom Foundation CDT and we tried to educate the Congress in the midst of all of us we failed in the Senate we got Senator Leahy to introduce a study but a study wasn't going to deal with this tsunami Congress never met a pornography bill that it didn't like or embrace particularly when it came to a medium they didn't understand so in the spring of 1995 we went to the house and interactive working group including Danny Weitzner and progress and Freedom Foundation and AOL and prodigy we went to meet with Congress and watch he got it new medium ought to be democratic shouldn't be regulated by the government let users have control educate parents and let intermediaries create safe spaces without facing liability Lahey was tried to study it I remember meeting with Congress and Wyatt and he said Gary why are we studying it let's do it and speaker Gingrich had said it was unconstitutional with the help of the progress and Freedom Foundation so we had a new Republican Congress interested in decentralized voluntary market driven solutions and we had a leader who is a bipartisan genius at putting legislation together and how to go and get Republicans and Democrats together and do something so with us educating and rigging tools and doing demonstrations congressman widened we work via drafted statute and we got section 230 I can after you tell your story I'll tell you how we had to go through the final act of the supreme court but you take us through that house story Jerry what what an inflationary introduction and this really does seem almost like you know kind of a family reunion to have jury and and Danny in particular it's not just section 230 folks I mean that would not be what it is today if it wasn't for these two and the EM the center I want to thank them and and taught a more recent a friend also given us lots of good advice glad you're on the on the panel and it's very hard to kind of recreate you know all of this and Gerry did some very good and kind of snappy work of kind of summarizing and I remember shortly after we got into this and we had prevailed in the Supreme Court my older daughter who was then in high school all reacted to a story that my staff was passing on I had just been named one of the most tech-savvy members of the United States Congress and David Stone even probably remembers this being in our office later and boy was I puffed up about myself oh my goodness I said this is just great news all of this exciting you know technology and my high school-aged daughter heard about this and she just started laughing and couldn't you know stop she was practically purple with the thought of it and she said dad how can this possibly be you send a couple like emails you know to people and things like you're one of the most tech-savvy you know members of Congress and she rolled her eyes and she says I can't even guess what the others are like and part of what's happening you know all of this has changed very dramatically of course in the period since now almost you know two decades since the early 1990s now you know members of Congress have to have smartphones and tweet and like just to sort of keep up with family and and friends we have different challenges today in terms of Internet policy and some of you know what we're up to in terms of protect IP and other issues and I know you all feel feel strongly about but back then you really did have to spend an enormous amount of time trying to lay out for example one of the points Jerry was talking about was how the net was different than television because people really didn't know a lot about it and would just say oh the net seems to just be another kind of wire and so we'd spend a lot of time trying to lay out how it wasn't just another wire through which consumers receive content it was a network in which everybody could create and debt and consume content and in effect when you're in that kind of discussion you're trying to describe what you do with a young ecosystem and it was all about in those kind of days of infancy trying to right with respect to regulation taxation and the kind of flipside of avoiding you know unnecessary litigation now my colleague and all this was congressman Chris Cox representative Chris Cox who would proudly tell you that he is one of the most conservative really libertarian public officials who served and he and I sat down and said look this is pretty simple this is basically going to be about freedom and innovation this is what it's all about and folks it's never really changed we had a news conference yesterday to look back at the Electronic Privacy law some of you are here or Senator Mark Kirk and myself pretty much the same principles were at stake there and because smart decisions were made back then by Gerry and Danny you know in in particular we didn't mess up the platform we didn't mess up the platform and out of this there is still a reason why so many of the exciting innovations and products and services have been developed in the United States so this work was extraordinarily you know important and I can only imagine what it would have been like over the last 15 years if the Senate position rather than the house position and what eventually became section 230 hadn't prevailed the position that the Senate set out would have established liability on all the internet intermediaries for the internet content that their network facilitated so in effect this was the first major legislative approach the approach taken in the United States Senate to in effect sanitize and censor content deemed as objectionable and so yet everybody all upset as Jerry mentioned Time magazine article smut who was going to possibly be in favor of smut in America I certainly am not in favor of smut but we all tried to say folks you're not going to be able to sterilize you know the internet and we started in Jerri and Danny in particular at one point I remember a discussion where we asked Chris Cox and I about how many people it would even take to try to implement the Senate legislation I mean would you just have a gazillion people all kind of you know reading websites and the like it just it just struck us as implausible something that could really kill both innovation and and freedom so as Gerry touched on with his good counsel and Danny's and and boy it really was a campaign during those days because we would have meeting after meeting and and jury and and Danny pretty much almost had a post-office box up on the hill just trying to you know make sure that if you had to use snail now you could get in touch with them and I think that the principles that we laid out in in the house that the net is a tool for democratizing power and empowering individual users who would individually manage their online content that comes into their homes and businesses have still been the guiding principle you didn't need to sanitize the Internet what you needed to do was make sure that parents and families had the technological tools to filter out the junk the garbage they don't want their kids to see so our bill was HR 1978 and it was attached as an amendment to the Telecommunications Act it moved through the Senate but the Senate approach was also attached so you had these two kind of contradictory approaches to this issue and the Internet and I think Gerry and Danny and their this panel potted everybody's going to walk through some of that history terms of how the courts you know dealt with it but our approach prevailed in the courts and that's why section 230 of the Communications Decency Act stands today it is in my view the first of a set of principles it started marching us in the right direction and the March continues to this day David was very involved in our office in the internet tax freedom bill try to limit discriminatory approaches in terms of taxation we talked about that at web you know 2.0 I mean why would you have a discriminatory regime for digital goods why would you in effect say that iTunes are going to be treated differently than a physical good you know the the idea of a CD it doesn't make any sense and just March over the last kind of 15 to 20 years to try to set up a innovation and freedom friendly approach to the net continues as we discuss these issues today in the Congress we've been able to protect the network effect from this kind of smothering approach of people who were you know well-meaning but that fight that we won really began in the mid of nineteen 1990s is one that is going to continue to this to this day the other point I want to you know mention is we kind of enjoy Twitter and YouTube and Facebook and all of these platforms for speech and and commerce that I think to a great extent has flourished because of the good work that these folks did and then the fact that we were able to get section 230 in into law is going to continue in a variety of other kinds kinds of forums to be a major source of debate I chair the Senate Finance Subcommittee on international trade picture what we did on these kinds of subcommittees eighteen to twenty years ago we would be talking in those subcommittees almost exclusively about verges we be talking about duties we'd be talking about heavy industry moving products from point A to point B and I don't take a backseat to anybody in terms of fighting for those industries today they are very very important we need a traditional manufacturing base in this country and I'm not going to take a backseat to fighting for those industries in the future but what we also know is that the Internet is going to be the shipping lane of the 21st century and we had a hearing in the Senate Finance Subcommittee on trade a couple of months ago that is remarkably different than the kinds of urine you would have about international trade 15 to 20 years ago we were talking about cloud computing and what are going to be the possibilities for all these goods and services in the digital space and boy the American economy needs them now more than ever because of the chance to make good wages and support a family by having the kinds of jobs that the digital economy offers so as the internet grows as something we look at is the shipping lane of the 21st century a central platform for commerce and they means by which people and societies organized recognize that the history you're going to hear about today and section 230 in my view had these good folks not been successful and worked with a bunch of us in the Congress big group of state stakeholders I don't think we would have the foundation on which we're building today I don't think we would have the number of jobs in the digital economy we have today everywhere I go I say I don't want to be somebody who either gets the net wrong and talks about how it's like a series of tubes or you know something like that and I don't want to be somebody who stands up and says all my goodness I invented the internet and and all the rest what I have particularly favored about the chance to work on these issues and I kind of look back at this period back when we started I had a full head of hair and rugged good looks and you know all that is that those of us who could be part of the foundation part of this kind of juggernaut two groups a jury and Danny had 80 groups and all the stakeholders this coalition that spans party and I ideology has been some of the most satisfying work I've been able to be part of it gives us a foundation to strengthen America's economic future in the decades ahead I'm going to try to come back I don't know exactly about my my prospects but enjoy this meeting we've done a lot of interesting sessions at the Internet caucus since we founded it years ago this is it one to really savor because it's a success story this is one that a lot of people even in the audience had a chance to to participate and these folks are the special people who made it happen and I'm glad that I could play a little role in the whole kind of effort thanks for having me every day [Applause] | Congressional Internet Caucus Academy | UCegLKLUZVc7KwwmbQVB6xxg | 2017-06-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,531 | 13,588 |

kusBL9Rk_g8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kusBL9Rk_g8 | Gaillard Shadd's Story | my name is gellert shed and I've been with the sacramento literacy program approximately two to two and a half months I was screaming inside looking for help dying to get some help because I have a issue with not being able to read and spill I jumped to the opportunity to call and get myself in there going to help me my challenges were feeling slightly inadequate and there's a lot of bullying other people so I knew had difficulty and my grandkids knew more than I did so I kind of let people know that I didn't know how to rewrite real good one of my jobs from 1984 as a supervisor just and I was able to train people and do my job very well so he promoted me to managing the crew and managing the overseer oversee of the business itself I know I has challenges but I would have people around me to be able to do the things that I couldn't do if it's any paperwork to do as a man can you do this here for me sania would never knew know that I couldn't read or write very well some people knew I had difficulties reading and writing and some people don't but it was our secret my hope for my future is to be able to drive down the street be able to read the reading signs have someone give me a book being able to read it and not having to be able to have material foot in front of me and not knowing exactly what it says for better clarity of everything in life and be able to operate a computer with no problem I would tell another adult or anyone that has trouble in reading or spelling our comprehension of they're reading that the literacy program is about me to the point of my life that I am able to put the shame of the bearers submit behind me but the main thing is to take your pride put it down lay it down because it's you in your life and your future and your kids future that you are dealing with regardless how would you maybe without knowing how to read without knowing how to write properly it is a world that is very small and sometimes you have to put your pride in your back pocket so other people can do the same thing and they will be able to understand you and that real person who you really are comes out and you when your pride is put down that wall that blocks a lot of things or who you are and what you are and all you can be that wall is tore down you can really be who you want to be in life and be more happier prosperous I'm Diane Sanford and i found the started in the sacramento literacy program in october 2010 um was in a similar literacy program in seattle and so when I moved down here I wanted to be in another literacy program I'm a reader so reading is really important to me but I had struggles learning to read when I was in grade school oh I have learned patience and I've learned that everybody has strengths and you need to find those strengths and work with them I've met a number of the literacy tutors and they're all incredibly gracious patient kind they they are the kind of people that would make fun of you or ridicule you they want you to learn they're there because they want you to learn and they're going to do whatever it takes so that you can learn in two thousand i was diagnosed with kidney disease and so i was on dialysis until 2006 and in 2006 my best friend took me out to lunch and she said if you were healthier what would you do and I said oh I would get involved in literacy and she asked me why and I told her why it's so important to me because when I was sick reading was my lifeline and so I told her that if I was healthier i would get involved in literacy well a little did I know that she had already applied to be a kidney donor for me and so she became my kidney donor and as soon as I was healthy enough that's when I started volunteering and literacy mr. Schad and I've worked together since sep tember that right and his strengths are that he's an incredibly hard worker and he's very determined I see mr. Schad using a computer and reading street signs and breeding hit to his grandchildren I also see him getting his GED first of all you have to take the pride of what you can't do and what you want to do and you have to separate them not being able to read and spell as well as I would like to it was really important to me that people be able to read reading was my lifeline it would operate a computer with no problem I see mr.

GwYHu0pS6Ik | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwYHu0pS6Ik | How To Tie A Double Four-In-Hand | Tie A Tie | [Music] alright guys today I'm gonna be showing you how to tie my favorite tie not the double foreign hand now a double foreign hand is exactly like your simple and classic foreign hand knot except it's got one extra loop around which means you have to start with a wide end of the tie a lot longer than a narrow end so step one is to cross the wide end over the narrow end then bring the wide end behind and wrap it around now as you make this first loop it's important that you keep your finger inside of the wrap next you're gonna bring the wide end behind one more time and then wrap it around again now the coolest thing about this tie knot in my opinion is when you see people wearing it you can actually see the double wrap and the way you achieve this effect is when you bring the tie over for the second time you leave a little bit of the first wrap showing next you're gonna bring the wide end up and over and then while you're holding the two loops that you've made thread the tie through I always like to keep it straight as I pull it through because that helps make a great simple so tighten the knot adjust it and that is how it's done now one thing that I like to do with the double four-in-hand is to take the narrow end and give it a little tug so it Peaks out from behind the wide end I like how that kind of offsets the pattern a little bit and it gives a tie a little bit of a unique look and different texture in a way so this is a great knot and one of the reasons I really love it is because I have a shorter torso so a lot of ties end up being really long on me so the fact that we're making the extra loop around it kind of shortens the tie and it's great for people like me with a shorter torso it makes the ties look much more proportional it's a great knot for that plus it just looks really really cool so very simple that's how to do it if you liked this video give it a thumbs up and be sure to subscribe to the channel leave a comment below let me know what video you'd like to see next follow us on Instagram visit the website you know all that good stuff so thanks for watching and I will see you next time [Music] | He Spoke Style | UC4A7_ROn-bKRIHaRxfWVaOw | 2017-09-06 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 439 | 2,148 |
dYwkLicn2RU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYwkLicn2RU | Audience Research: Save Time And Effort With Your Communications | so we've got a repeat expert coming back Allison not who has probably at least two three times already come and share her expertise and we're really grateful to have her back today's focus is around audience research and we're going to talk deeply about how you can say save time and effort with your Communications by doing the homework first but not painful no fun homework this is going to be fun homework and Allison will talk you through that process so who is elephant elephant is an international Tech speaker who's passionate about the intersection of the web creativity business and social impact her main mandate is to raise web Literacy for small organizations like yours presentations are an unusual blend of enthusiasm you're going to hear it an actionable lessons bori Tech jargon no place here today in addition to public speaking and running her agency ultimate also mentors female entrepreneurs and has had teaching positions at several schools so I'm going to now pass the mic over to our great friend Alton I'm very excited today to come back and to see you also the bottom of my heart everyone here in the chat thank you for the good you put into the world so welcome to a conversation about audience research to save time and effort with the communications and your marketing is small But Mighty teams putting good into the world as like mentioned I'm really interested in this right now when I do work with ethically aligned Brands sometimes we get really caught up in the tactics of things right we gotta write this we have to put out that we have to review this and it's all great and fantastic but sometimes we feel like we're putting out information for information's sake we feel like we don't really know what kind of traction it is It ultimately we are trying to pull people into our causes and people into our advocacy and people into our products and our services so today I want to talk about audience research as a way for you to really understand who you're talking to and communicating with now I have today's slides and some extra goodies at this link at the bottom here bitly slash AR non-profit and also it's going to be on every slide so the first question slides you don't right there are Darlings so let's go to town on this so the first thing I want to clarify is the difference between market research and audience research so there's no but not they're like cousins novices but like once five foot five and one's seven foot two right so the way I like to think about this is market research to get the word market right think of a beautiful farmer's market where you're going in as your brand and there are other brands like you inside the shared Market space right so when you're doing your market research you're really concerned about how your brand is positioned against other brands similar to you your competitors or how I like to call them are contemporaries right we're all in this together so your Market researches your brand evaluating what other brands are doing and how you live in that ecosphere so let's say you like Peaches I love peaches they're delicious and they're like little butts which I love so we have a basket here peaches and you were a peach farmer and you're inside that market research and you want to understand how are you going to orientate your peaches what are your peaches like compared to other people's peaches and all of that good stuff audience research is more specific it's about the person who is looking at the fruit and going do I even want peaches maybe they want a refreshing lemon although lemons are quite tasty so audience research is really dialing in on it's cool to understand what other brands are doing in your space how are people resonating with it what do they want to see what do they ex to see what is missing for them what do they want more of so today my goal is to show you four different ways that you can do audience research you can find the people who will really love your peaches and make sure that you don't attract people who want lemons and also make sure that people understand all the varieties and wonderness that is your peaches you can make with them and it's lunch time so if anyone Hears A fruit cup with them then you are totally on sync for this particular piece right now which is pretty cool the idea behind this is sometimes we're doing our Communications and marketing we get a little caught up on put something out it hope someone converts right conversion could be they become an advocate they become a sponsor a donor they sign up for something but people's Journeys with your brand is a lot more segmented and you might have seen this before both the customer Journey the donor Journey right but in a nutshell it's an awareness piece so like the idea with audience research is how can we figure out what even made your audience go hot damn I want a peach we can often caught up with assuming people want peaches how did you how can you figure out when they started wanting peaches in the first place and then when they're thinking about peaches to understand were there other fruits they were considering we're thinking about vegetables we're thinking about pre-made pre-sliced peaches or where they want to go and get organic and pick themselves right a consideration phase what are you looking at free what you offer as a non-profit against other non-profits and for-profit solutions that they might be investigating and then that conversion piece is important right really understanding the part that we're familiar with right the comments on our socials people signing up to this that and the other thing and of course advocacy is important for us too right not only do we want people to stay with us as a brand as a non-profit we want them to become little mini Peach Farmers just like us and go out to their farmers markets and then say these are the best peaches you're going to want from I should say that the end the whole point of this is our audience and today's lessons are all about Gathering up that goal and taking off that fake nose and glasses and pulling back the sheet to find out exactly who your ideal audience is so that you can communicate them in amazing ways and the benefits of doing this is as extrapolated it lets you focus on your client customer Advocates your ideal audiences Journey towards your non-profit and with your non-profit right we're not getting so stuck on conversion alone or awareness alone we're getting a more holistic a more 3D representation of why people gravitate towards us why they fall off and why they stay reveals your true competitors and contemporaries often in our line so if you're really involved in animal rights or you're really involved in sustainability and you have an offering or a service or you're part of something larger but the end result in being in the organization the transformation that's going to happen so we make assumptions as to the people we want to attract that number one they know exactly all the same information we do they know how it all works and they've already known who else is out there doing the same work but you'll find with audience research sometimes who your contemporaries are makes no sense to you but complete sense to your ideal audience you might have considered this other option because they're not a non-profit or they're not in your Province or territory when your audience research might reveal people go to them first and expect something and then come to you to expect something else or something else so a true competitoring Temporaries happen because your ideal audience is telling you we're not making assumptions and of course all of this work will dig up content gold you begin to understand how the work you do fits in relationship to their life the language they use their expectations of how that's going to go and that becomes amazing use for your strategic plan for any of your outrage Communications for your marketing content distribution earned media you named it all of a sudden you aren't trying to figure out what you think people want they are literally telling you what they expect to hear from you and how to even say it how to write it how to code it how to make it into videos you name it but what I love most about audience research is it's inexpensive it can be as short or as long as a project as you want and it doesn't matter your team size or resources I know sometimes it feels really sexy to get an outside team to come on out and do this huge market research campaign to help you with strategic plan that's all great but being wild you as an individual you as a small team of two or three or four could absolutely do some of the things in audience research that I am going to show with you today at the end of it all the biggest benefit is we're communicating to the people we wish to attract in a way that resonates we don't put ourselves in this our audience research points to what's truly going to make them felt seen curd understand the transformation it become amazing advocates for the amazing work that you do essentially what this thing is measure twice and cut once with your content creation the whole idea here is I don't want you creating things for the sake of creating it it is much better to do some research find out what is and isn't working and then pull what's working from other brands and from your audience research and then roll it into what works for your brand and make it shine right I don't want all these little pieces but I know it's all out there myself included it is a daily struggle for us to get all of our Communications and marketing done but there's always pieces right little pieces you didn't mean to cut off like that extra video you made that went nowhere or that blog post you didn't finish there's all these little bits and pieces on our floor my hope today is will help you sweep that up a little bit so you just have the nice big juicy pieces that you want to work with I also like to do this because I have a pet peeve with personas and again there's nothing wrong with having your ideal audience or one segment boiled down to one page but the problem with most of these is they're highly fictitious they're like busy mom Becky they get these cute little names and they had demographics I don't know if you're seeing that Meme kicking around with demographics but it's something along the lines up you pick a man born in the UK in his mid 70s early 80s you can get Ozzy Osbourne or you get the King two very different people with very different needs wants desires and inclinations but demographically speaking they're the same right so I find with audience research it adds dimensionality to these personas you can use it to fill it out but most personas have not actually considered real people it's you and the team or the board or the people prior to you that gathered around for two hours at an exercise banged out a really nice piece of paper but ultimately isn't real it's not based on anybody except your hopes and dreams of an organization so audience research can pump this up a little bit more so we get a little bit deeper than busy mom Becky or salesman sale or whatever you want to do there but before I get into these tactics I do just want to let everyone know that it's important to have a goal before you start because if not you could just be looking through a lot of data and just like like changing all these different ideas around now your goals don't have to be really hard in concrete I don't believe it's effective for most small teams sometimes it's just a broad goal that kind of gives you an overlap of what you need an overview so maybe your goal is you want to have more engaged newsletter readers right that's going to help you focus on what you're going to look for in your audience research or maybe you're attracting a new audience segment maybe you realize you need to reach more Elders or maybe need to reach new Canadians in the work that you're doing and you're not really sure about that new audience and you want to do right by them and ensure you fully understand what they want and need great reason to do this or perhaps you need to approach a sensitive topic in a more conscientious way for example whitewash or sorry a green washing is a huge problem happening for those of us working inside of sustainability or maybe you have grown as a person as an organization and a board and you want to be more inclusive in the work that you do but it can be hard sometimes to figure out how you're going to word that in a way that's approachable and considerate in conscientious so again having that goal will help you focus on what you need to look for to help people out and make sure that you yourselves can be phenomenal in the way that you communicate and of course I want you to remember this is research so make time in your calendar I know it's gonna be so hard and it's going to feel so much more productive to go and put out stuff but whatever meetings you have and whatever you have to draft this thing and edit this put time in your calendar for research if you don't get it done it will fall off the plate and you will still be back where you started making content from a place of assumption out of date information or good intentions but not real teeth and also while you may Echo time in your calendar I recommend keeping a little Dumping Ground for brilliant little moments you come across so for example for myself I have on all my browsers I have a tab ready in notion and one in Google Docs as well where sometimes I'm not actually in active audience research mode for clients but I catch something in my day-to-day use online and I want to do that screen cap or leave a note for myself sometimes the best gold nuggets come when you least expect it so having access to notion or OneNote or whatever your favorite platforms are techsoup can help you out with lots of those things too it can absolutely help you kind of collect data as it comes up this can be a lifelong sort of learning as it were and of course I really want you to pay attention to the engagement the engagement not so much what you think this brand is doing or how big they are or how big their team is or what their budget is or everybody already knows this brand the point is to pay attention to the engagement you're seeing on their content because it's not about the market research it's about the audience research for example everyone else who be lab is right I'm doing research on these folk when I was doing some work with a client in a sustainability and slow fashion movement and so of course melano B lab is part of B Corp right nominal huge running organization of course they've gone 77.5 000 followers on Twitter so if you just looked at from this perspective from a marketing market research oh yeah they got it great they got it going on they got a huge representation right there's no way in heck that we can compete with them we don't know what Their audience wants they're just a big brand with a big team here's the thing I was doing research on them and they're really big but I don't know bro I already noticed this but January 10th really at least a pull and out of 77 000 people four people voted and out of the four people four of them were light or two of them were like I don't even like this so this is what I mean by paying attention to audience research if you hadn't done the engagement piece you might say bee Labs got it cool we're just not gonna be able to compete with them but what I'm learning from this one of many things of course it's a small sample is perhaps that ideal audience is not interested in pools and maybe not so much a podcast or the way they're wording it isn't really effective for them or the group on Twitter simply aren't interested in engaging with them about their podcast so just a little food for thought there folks Size Doesn't Matter and we also know that b Corp is highly successful and does a lot of great work so we got to be careful when we even our own work they go uh we only got two likes on that be careful about getting over comp getting overly rung up about numbers paying attention to the engagement now in case anyone's here and you're falling asleep because you're in the lunchtime slumps I have a really important slide coming up so I hope you got your cameras ready you get your notebooks ready this is the number one this is the first way to do audience research and it is the most important so you all better be ready it is bear with me talk to your existing audience a huge one right a lot of us are walking around what is it our audience wants Allison how do we get more effective in our Communications the first thing I'm asking do you ask your audience oh I just all about quit right Darlings the first step is you're probably sitting on a gold mind of what your audience actually wants to listen to but we're so busy promoting advocating putting out impact stories which are great mind you but we're also asking our audience questions to find out more of what they want on the platforms and other ways that they're actually engaging with us I also mean that I don't want you to use chat gbt nothing wrong with AI but I'm telling you it's not chat GPT it's chat with your ideal audience first damn it Darwin's and that comes from a place of love but you are not going to get this work done by asking something that has no idea about your mandates in the select variety beautiful things that your specific audience is looking for so you've got to ask them how do you ask your existing audience you've got a lot of options right social media of course you can run polls you can do posts you can do stories you can put little stickers inside of there and make it really Interactive you have your email list you can have surveys you can put in email replies right you can send out an email and in that email if your platform allows it you can ask people here are three lines and please tell us which one most reflects what you feel they click it it adds a tag in the back end of your newsletter system and all of a sudden you now know a little bit more about your audience and you segmented them in spoiler I do this in my own little drip if you go for my Greenies at the bottom so you can actually see this in practice it's pretty cool if you're doing online or in-person feedback events are there questions you could ask beyond the event or about the event that would deepen your recognition and your understanding of what your audience is looking for why did they come to this thing was there and what was the most valuable takeaway they had was there anything they had hoped they were going to experience but didn't great ways working with your audience research and I want you to get creative and think beyond the obvious with this I'm going to give you an example so let's say that you are a non-profit organization that works with conservation right awesome honorable love the work that you do and your Ed or someone else in your team wants to start going on podcasts to start talking about the change and transformation you make or a really important topic that's really top of mind so you don't know where to really start and what podcast to go on so you go to your audience and you might say what are your favorite podcasts about conservation wrong something wrong with that question but I would argue that you can go a bit deeper you might want to think about your audience and go the most engaged audience we have are actually social impact entrepreneurs they're really interested in conservation and the reality is probably there probably aren't a heck of a lot of conservation podcasts out there if I'm wrong please tell me in the chat I would love to people the wrong I don't know all the podcasts in the world but a better way to ask people would be what podcasts would you recommend to other social impact entrepreneurs do you see the difference here so the work was done and if you don't know how you would have figured out if they were social impact entrepreneurs or not continue with this these lessons I'm dropping today right because I'll show you how to figure that out but what we're doing here is we're removing us from this column it's not about our end goals to talk about conservation we're going back through that Journey that I put up earlier to the awareness piece it's what got people interested in conservation their social impact entrepreneurs and we notice that when they do that they tend to get really interested in conservation because that's their first step right so when you're asking your existing audience questions don't always go right to the end result don't always go right to what you do try to reverse engineer a bit and think about how it looks like from their world the second one that I have today is one-to-one interviews and they are as they sound this is when you are going to go and talk to your favorite best ideal client customer or Advocate right this is a one-to-one conversation and Darlings you can do it and you can get buy-in from your Ed and from your superiors and from your cohorts to help you do this but a one-on-one interview its whole idea is you want to talk to your best favorite best fit clients customers or Advocates because the goal here is you want to understand them so you can get more of them right you want to replicate the success that you've had with it and the point of the conversation I can't emphasize this enough is to figure out what led brand it is not a review it is not a product review it is on a service review this is not a testimonial for what your organization or company does it's specific to figuring out what got them to turn their head and look at you in the that you can replicate and get more of them into your field well often these reviews are about 30 to 45 minutes and recommend collecting them around two weeks right you want to do that within two weeks because you don't want to give it such a long time that people never get in and book into your calendar but you want to give them enough time so they feel a sense of urgency and also want to communicate with this and in terms of doing this I have a really great resource I can't recommend enough I am not an affiliate for this I'm not an affiliate for anything that I mentioned today there is a really great system called customer Camp Clarity calls developed by a Canadian namekeeper going she actually splits her time between here in Halifax and in Quebec and what is a complete system I think it's about 129 U.S right now it takes to start to finish Darwin's it tells you how to figure out who you should interview how to ask for the interview all of the questions you need to ask how to take the notes while you're doing the questions and even how to organize it in a way that was into that Journey that I showed you at the start and I've heard some comments that people get on the landing page and go for us this is like B to C this is like b2c product sales it's not I've had great success with clients in b2c especially B2B and especially service based the questions are organized in a really great way so if you're interested in having one-to-one conversations with people you already know love what you do as an organization I strongly recommend checking out this resource or finding other ways to hold one-to-one interviews with your ideal audience to replicate work it's fabulous like it's a lot of fun and it's like beautifully designed there's lots of good funny jokes in it oh it's great you'll love it so I want to talk about is performing a listening tour which is kind of similar to the one-to-one but it's a little bit different in that you're probably not going to talk to your current clients Advocates or customers you're going to talk to people you're hoping to connect with hoping to communicate with better tendental often right so they're not your current but you're really interested in what they have and you want us to discover their experience with your specific topic right if it is around conservation or maybe you work with single parents single Guardians and it's around food budgeting right so basically you want to discover their experience again we're completely removing you and the market from this conversation and it's all about their experience as a potential audience member usually these are about 30 minutes with about seven ish questions you can ask again trying to keep it in that 30 minute Mark they're pretty open-ended it's all about them just understanding what they think about your wounds essentially what I've found to be really useful in this and really successful is when you're trying to get strangers to have a 30 minute phone call with you be very clear it's on a cell be very clear who you're looking for and what kind of information you're looking for and I often recommend tell them that for an additional 30 minutes if they want you will offer 30 minutes of your time as a gift for them to pick your brain have a conversation have a consult with your area of expertise so now you're giving and receiving at the same time which feels really good and most people I find at the end of these sessions because you spend the first 30 minutes never talking about yourself and just talking all about them and their experience usually when it comes to your time they're like I want to know what this is all about who are you what are you folk all about which could be really really beautiful some questions you could ask not all of them but this is an idea to give you an idea of what a listening tour looks like is what are your main priorities regarding X and how does it fit into the work you do or your lifestyle we know the work that we do is very important but we have to understand how important and which parts are to our audience we want to communicate with so that we can stop talking about things that they don't really care about it emphasize more the things that maybe we thought were less important or critical for them to understand you want to understand what is success regarding eggs look like to them success or change or positive right what is it about what this particular topic is that makes them feel good makes them feel accomplished effective part of something right because again we have a way that we work as organizations and companies into what we want to expect in the change we get but we're not always it's not always in line with what your audience wants especially underlying this again for listening to work an audience that hasn't worked with you yet they don't know half the details right they don't know half of what's going on here so understanding what their ideas success looks like you can begin to orientate your Communications more around that unless around all the doing in other words looking at the benefits and not the features which I'm sure some of you have heard before of course what do you still struggle with in regards to this topic again we get so busy doing the things and talking about the things that we know that sometimes we don't realize that we are missing entire conversations that our audience have been waiting to hear from perspectives that they've been waiting to hear from differences they're waiting to hear from and that struggle doesn't necessarily mean a negative thing but it could be a clarification right what is still what do they still misunderstand about it so that you can then create content and Communications that helps to educate bring awareness and bring depth to what it is they're looking for then the biggest one that will help you out with your audience researches when it comes to this topic where do you go to learn more who do you follow look to podcasts YouTube channels what is it and this is a great question because sometimes I've done these listening tours for clients and also myself and sometimes people give you a list of amazing influencers and brands that you should pay attention to and sometimes the very honest they go this is my job and when I leave I don't think about it that's also important too right because again we don't want to ask questions of our audience that has no relationship to what they actually want to do I want to give you an example of a listening tour from our perspective here so this is Barry and he runs the happy Community project which his Grand goal is to make communities Happy by reconnecting citizens it creates projects for citizens to make really effective positive change in the communities without the use of government interference funding and raising things and getting volunteers and all the complicated stuff that often stops regular citizens from making effective change in their communities it could be a change around intergenerational connectedness around it could be environmental racism based gender-based you name it they've helped people around the world and communities become community Advocates so Barry developed an app recently called The Good Neighbor app its job we call the anti-social social network is to get people to connect with their actual Neighbors in their vicinity for things like needing help when they need their plants watered or also organizing barbecues so that people come back together and also more important things it's all important there is a tree that's dying in the Old Orchard and we need to come together as community and figure out how we want to honor that tree for example so over here you got Barry has this big high flute and beautiful idea make communities happy again and over here he's got an app that can help neighbors talk now what does he do from a communication standpoint well what does he do from a marketing standpoint Barry had an idea he figured that one of the best ways to talk to people is one to many right if you can get someone at the organizational level to Herald what you're trying to do all their members will follow and he figured that could be home owner association presidents and other community presidents who help organize People based on a Locale so Barrett could have just went with that sort of putting out content putting out Communications about this but he didn't instead Barry bless him literally got on the phone and set out cold emails to presidents across Canada who were part of homeowner associations in other community associations and because he did a listening tour he pinpointed three main things that they were really concerned about and he didn't come in here to say I have a new app that will help you that's not it he said I want to have a conversation about the top priorities you have with creating Community within the community that you were president they said three things they said number one Facebook groups and our newsletters are becoming ineffective that's fine two they were often burdened or I guess brought into a lot of interpersonal Communications that they had hoped that the community could resolve and so that they could leave them more free to work on the other parts that are necessary for them as presidents and of course dwindling budgets to do any of this so because of his listening tour now Barry and the team have way more fodder to work with in terms of who do we reach what podcast to podcast does Barry have to go on to how does he communicate this particular app to people in a way that makes sense to them so what I'm saying here Darlings is if Barry can take make communities happy in an app and be able to communicate effectively with the presidents of homeowners associations then whatever you're trying to achieve Darwin's you can do it too and Barry's rooting for you by the way we had a supper on Sunday and he said to everybody in this chat today I'm rooting for you and thank you for doing the good work so I want to do a little bit of testing here for that good work well I want to know and again the goal here isn't to say you have to do this today and I can't see the chat but is there anybody in the chat who's been a little has been inspired by the story of Barry and this doing these listening tours and does anybody want to drop in the chat who are they looking to talk about surely there's about 30 of you in the chat here today is anybody for example I'm looking to talk to single parents about food budgeting I don't know Eli or anybody have some courage in this small little group of 30 people anybody want to put into a chat an idea they have for a listening tour I'd love to hear it no everyone's contemplating and like things are popping into the chat here what do we got so we've got from we've got one here non-profits are that are having issues with connection and conflict so that's really interesting so it actually looks like it's more organizational babe yeah that's fabulous I've got another one here coming in from Karen Lee who says I want to talk to locals about their Leisure activity people really do want to talk about a lot we've got another one here about families and fitness goals so again I think in this kind of leisure place from Eric we've got wants to talk to people on wait lists for Community Gardens that would like to start gardening sooner oh that's that's Eric I love this specific the specificity of that one as they're all great but that one's fabulous that is oh it's fabulous love it I've got one from Robin who says I'm looking to talk to non-profit leaders about where they go to physically meet each other when they don't have an office oh oh I love that one too oh one more than I'm gonna I want to be president um I'm looking to talk to school and other non-profits about their client need for technology in the home business in there is start just with schools and I wouldn't say schools I would be very specific to the title of the person at the school so is it a program director is it a principal vice principal what have you so these are all fabulous and I know thank you so much for being so courageous to put them in the chat that's a great one as a teaching woman for everybody the more specific that you can talk about the kinds of people the more likelihood you will get these spoken awesome I love it I do have one more and it includes a live demo so I want to make sure thank you everyone on my heart well I'm so happy to hear that you want to talk to people and believe me they will talk to you it is amazing what happens when you put this out here I have some helpful things in those slides down below to help you make that happen as an aside the last one I want to talk about is sparktoro anybody here who's taking some of my prior in conversations or follows me online on LinkedIn or Twitter I love sparktoro and in fact what I want to do now is I don't know how to stop my share why talk about it when I can show you so if I do this and then this does everyone still see my screen for spartorial I can't tell no I'm sitting here PowerPoint Jack at the moment oh are you okay I'm gonna stop the share I'm gonna share my screen so yeah let's roll to get there sparktoro how about this You See Spark Toro now perfect oh okay Darlings check this out spark swirl is literally an audience research tool you want some tech I'll give you some tick and they're fabulous they are one of the most ethical marketing groups out there on the planet and by ethical number one you don't have to buy a full year subscription you can just do a month they remind you three days before the months up you have a subscription coming on so you can pause it and I just love this but essentially what this is it looks at over 84 million profiles across the internet and creates cross sections of what people are into and what what they're into what you type into this thing is amazing check this out my audience frankly talks about blank my audience uses these Pro these words and their profile they follow these social accounts they visit these websites they use this hashtag or you can analyze specific website or social account which is incredible so I am going to type in my audience frequently talks about slow fashion for example and I'll do a search now I've got the paid one on here uh what happened there oh flashing question turn to the left I shouldn't okay so what it does is so the free version you get five searches and you're gonna see here it cuts it off a little bit for how you can see when you get 250 if you go up a level and all that good stuff so my audience frequently talks about slow fashion I happen to know this for a fact so they said we found 37 000 people that we believe talk about this now the numbers are great but you don't be like only 37 000 like it's a sample of a sample and if you could talk to one tenth of these people you'd be laughing right but what it does is it gives you all the top words in their bio I think someone has their audio on if they commute sorry my Darwin's I have a hearing issue so I think this one find it perfect thank you so much so they have top words in their bio they have top hashtags you so if you're really big into Instagram you're gonna find out what are some key hashtags you can use frequently used phrases and in here and what it will show you is like how to apply this in the data they give you lots of examples of how to put in your persona how to do it for display marketing ads or just anything your strategic plan if you want how does it have what other accounts that they follow which is incredible and I want I want to point out in particular is the hidden gems hidden gems means that these are brands or social accounts or what have you podcasts depending on what tab you go into where they don't have as large a reach as some of the more established but they have huge engagement which could be a great group of folk that you might want to start following and then maybe actually talk to for earned media and they have Niche hidden gems so can we do with all of this let's go to the text insight for example so we could go in here and we could see that people that talk about slow fashion words in their bio it might be that you don't want to just talk to everybody who talks about slow fashion maybe it's photographers or maybe it's Founders right so it's phenomenal what you can do in here to click these and then find out my audience uses the word and profiles of photographers and find out other pieces of content that they talk about I'll go back for a second here to talks about slow fashion and actually it's saved in one of my audiences but slow fashion I wrote this product so much let me see here I could go into the podcast so people that talk about slow the slow fashion what podcasts do they listen or do they check out so some of these could be obvious some of them less obvious right you could pay a little bit more per month to get more of them but often we're so stuck again on our circle of influence this helps us to cross-reference other ones right YouTube channels that they look to Reddit set they're on right if we go back to social for a second this is just incredible you'll see here that on the Social account it will give you all their socials and their likes and followers so you can go click this in one click to go then and see their accounts very quickly which is phenomenal you can save these to lists you can narrow down a location so we could say add location no this is mostly american-based data it is world why but obviously it leans American a little bit but you could also narrow it down is to locate it in Canada so now we have 1300 or so people that still talk about this but this is an incredible way when you're like where does our ideal audience hang out online it's sparktoro Darwin's that does this which is pretty freaking awesome and it's just a great way to get outside of our own circle of influence and then the idea here is is that you would find these Brands and then you would go look at their socials Communications their press and reverse engineer what people are actually resonating with and what they're ignoring so that you don't make the same mistakes it's pretty awesome so a question I have now for the group is I would love someone I'm gonna flip over my little tab here or maybe I'll get Eli to do this I was wondering if someone in the chat would like me to run Spock twirl for them over the thing my audience frequently talks about first come first serve all right friends throw something in the chat if you've got a search term you want to test out today and be specific all right here I've got a couple I'm looking for black bears as one of the Search terms another one here is restorative justice okay and then we've got a third which is gifts in Wills um okay so the black bear one I'm going to explain why I didn't put it in so something we need to think about and Spark pro has wonderful documentation and video examples is we got to ensure does your audience actually go on social to talk about black bears so do they wake up and go black bears or do they talk about something else where are they hanging out online that proves to you that there probably would have an interest in black bears it's not unlike and again I don't see the chat and I apologize if I'm really garbbling up your attention's there it's like plumbers shouldn't use spark Toro and type in my audience talks about plumbers Plumbing because other plumbers talk about Plumbing but you're not here to find out about market research you're here to find out about audience research so for the black bear person it might make more sense for you to pick something like they follow this particular Social account and then you know that your audience who cares about black bears is actually following uh Allison K conservationist or something that can be used restorative justice I'm really interested in because I think people who are interested in it and work in it may be more likely to actually be saying this on their websites in their podcasts and in their socials so I'm going to turn off Canada too just just to get a nice broad search here just to see what happens restorative justice I love oh great I've got a huge sampling here and again oh another thing too is I don't know all these people I don't control spark Toro so if there are problematic things that pop up here please absolve me at what it shows it does not know what is good and what is bad is simply but has a database but we have here in different socials of who they follow Sarah a Carter I'm not sure it's Oh see it's Fox News and stuff so we will be a little bit careful with that one but we won't go into text insights for a moment so words in their bio people who talk about this are an educator writes they're an author right so maybe you want to look at those sorts of folk you know and figure out like retired Patriot criminal youth centered church services I don't know what this means it's not my area of expertise but that might help you figure out like who do you want to Target right so if it's Educators then when you go into Educators and find out what other podcasts they listen to that will give you a better idea of Educators who like restorative justice follow these podcasts for example words use let's see this can be really helpful assortive youth criminals Community School restoration annual legal probably pretty much what you expect but I do appreciate going through spark tour because sometimes there's verbiage that you wouldn't think to use but does come up let me see here any podcasts that people that talk about this talk about these so what you could do is that you could then say I'm not sure who Sarah Carter is and I don't know their affiliation but you may want to then take sparktoro and say I want to find out people that follow the Social account Sarah Carter to build an even wider idea of what it is your audience is into so the goal of spark tour was it's not going to tell you exactly what kind of content and what kind of press releases and things like that to use it's telling you what brands and folk that they follow will help you understand and then go to their content go to their mechanisms of Outreach and reverse engineer what's going to happen there okay one more maybe there Eli one more one more sure so from our black bear friends they've cleared in order to talk about maybe black bears getting into garbage if that's in a more specific way to come at people's sort of experience of it uh I will but I don't think it might not be the right thing Toro draws about a quarter about 120 days so what people talk about the Mustangs black type it in but I'm really curious hey it's Mike hell let's use it all up so again I really think that they're working through this but I guess my question to the black bear person data show with the data show I'm unsure the one with gregton that's Fox News so black bears so is this like animal conservation is this artwork what is it about black bears are they buying block bears what's the black bird what's the black bear thing it's a conservation theme I'm hearing from Holly so I would see the conservation would be a great one to start with to find out like your audience talks about conservation and then remarkable people so here's okay I don't know much about remarkable people but there's something about this features it is a remarkable features such as Jane Goodall Etc right so what we're trying to figure out here is again black bears are your amazing important mandates but people may not wake up necessarily to black bears they may wake up to conservation or black bears but when they go to Google they don't know what they're typing and they're getting information about how big black bears are if and when they hibernate and all that good stuff here just making up this example here my darlings I appreciate your patience perhaps guy kwaski's remarkable people does a lot of interviews with people making effective change we know Jane Goodall and the work that she's done with Apes so it's possible that you might want to consider asking your audience what podcasts so they listen to that helps them understand the conservation World better or what websites feature groups that do conservation you could use it this way instead and again more Coral you're not going to just type in one term and get all your answers it takes some time I wonder here like text insights let me see here authors Consultants Founders managers developers designers co-founders Financial so there could be some people in here that are your target audience right we're not for everybody we're not or more to the point it's hard to communicate when you're communicating for everybody but there might be someone like maybe co-founders are important to you because co-founders own companies and companies sponsor more for your work the individuals again I apologize I can't see the chat and I'm making some big leaps of interpretation here there's a couple other things are coming in I've also got a question coming in from the audience the only thing is that we've got five minutes and I still have three slides left okay so let's run through the three slides I'm gonna come back to Robin's question at the end oh I love it I love it so can we now see my PowerPoint not yet no oh the best late plans of mice and Allison's okay hold on stop sharing I'll share my screen and again I appreciate everyone for putting this forward I know I'm trying to put a lot into a little five pound bag here today and we'll just finish this all up how's that now can we see our Kids in the Hall reference success okay perfect there she goes see you later braces okay so no matter what approach you do here what are you going to do with all this awesome Intel right the first thing is I want you to go check out the content I want you to follow their accounts sign up for their newsletters get it on their forums their groups right don't go in there and just start advocating for all the things you're doing but pay attention to what is resonating with your shared audience right the point here is to figure out their audience is probably similar to yours and you want to see what people are engaging with and what they're ignoring you want to see how they're talking about a topic that maybe you hadn't thought of talking about it before is there a way they're talking about it are they using examples are they using video figure out what is actually getting engagement for people and I'm big one one of the best ways for us to grow an audience is not to grow our own it's to attach ourselves to someone else who already has established the audience we seek so looking with who they hang out with in what sport twirl delivers you can find opportunity for what we call earned media luxury needs to collaborate such as guest posts opt-in swaps maybe you want to sponsor their event or newsletter or all kinds of things like that so the job is to find out what they tell you and then go up pay attention to these brands that they have told you all about and why they love them so much so welcome to the questions with Darlings thank you so much if you've enjoyed today's talk then you can get today's slides at that little link there AR non-profit as well if you wish to opt in optionally I will give you my seven questions that I use to do a listening

your time and for putting all the good the world and happy audience gold digging lovely thank you so much so before we let you go I want to just get a question coming in from Robin Wells who asks looking at all the words that were coming out of audience Toro can we look at these words that our audiences are using and can that actually be fed into our SEO strategy yes I didn't want to bring up the old SEO conversation but absolutely it can right it can we look at people's websites maybe you want to turn on the find function and see how they're talking about this it can be useful for SEO of course SEO works best with search intent so keywords don't mean a damn thing unless you understand why people are using those words but effectively it can't absolutely be for that I found with clients realize that they keep saying we help business owners and then spark Toro and other audience research points out their ideal audience reverse themselves Founders go into all your marketing and all your Communications and start talking about Founders because you're ideal audience identifies in that way fantastic question it's not a plant by the way folks I'm so grateful to be a return bye

a sentence god's not great at math so the bible got pie wrong by a good amount according to first kings we should celebrate pi day on march zeroth yeah because they have it as soon and now once again i'm hungry for key lime ratio god i don't know pie's one of those things that like doesn't sound true but just because i don't understand it anyways i think we should ban it from schools done no illusions um heath and wright and broadcasting delay from america's far center we are the skeptocrats on this week's episode the court system tells fox news to go tuck itself a lot of conservatives consider a truck convoy to protest high gas and prices giuliani unzipped his face again so there's gonna be a flying spider but first is the rest of the intro music joining me for headlines tonight are my fellow skeptic rats no illusions in eli bosnick gentlemen spring's almost here you guys have any travel plans coming up soon maybe somewhere north and great and white perhaps maybe in may of this year oh you were like setting up the god-awful movies live in toronto on may 7th would you heathelton all i'm saying is better not be [ __ ] white in may or i'm coming back i'm leaving we're not yeah hey by the way it's gonna be pretty white hey canada this is your shot at live shows you syrup slurping bastards you've been bitching at us to do a live show up north for six years if i get a bunch of these oh so you want to see when you come to skaguchuan tweets i will send the truckers back to you all right all the sales i'm seeing are from americans are you gonna be outfanned by americans canada because i will cook trans fats on stage in front of you if you are out fanned by americans i know of at least two canadian ticket purchases already jordan and jenny what's that but we don't know them right we've never met them before no we have i've met both of them they're delightful i played scrabble live with jenny one of us won in our league store tonight the american legal system might have a couple of flaws it might maybe you know the odd unfair outcome from time to time the hell yeah maybe maybe the occasional supreme court getting stacked with christian right lunatics for the rest of my entire life maybe you should have voted for hillary clinton maybe it's entire history tainted by white supremacists in power um but oh by the way if you're listening in florida right now probably just turn yourself in you just broke along but once in a while we get the perfect court thingy and that's happening right now fox news and several of its piece of [ __ ] personalities are being sued for defamation by smartmatic that's the electronic voting systems company that may or may not have teamed up with the ghost of hugo chavez to steal the 2020 election for joe biden fox news filed motions to dismiss but the judge ruled last week almost exact quote no no i really want to see this it's honestly sexual for me at this point it's sexual i would like to see this also it's sexual for heath from that podcast he really wants to see that we're we're going through with the cases yeah podcast listener we're not saying the legal system is good or the legal system works but sometimes it is good and works and when it does it's delicious right because in this instance fox made the mistake of wrongly going after wealthy white people right when it's one wealthy white people versus wealthy white people the courts have no other metric to judge by other than the truth right then you just you have to just do a court thing at that point i hear that's what they're calling the case wealthy white people be wealthy white people so the 2.7 billion lawsuit was originally filed just over a year ago and the complaint was 285 pages long defendants named were fox corporation fox news lou dobbs maria bartoromo janine pirro rudolph giuliani and sydney powell so just without any other context or information i feel like the answer is guilty like you know we're done right like this is prima facie [ __ ] your fascia like done those are guilty people and corporations understand but yeah we have a whole system of laws blah blah blah nerd so the complaint did that they went with the laws they very clearly explained how those defendants were involved in breaking the law specifically according to the law it's illegal defamation if a news program tells a very giant lie with quote reckless disregard for a statement's truth or falsity and that's that's the fox news business model that's their coat of arms right there so the complaint gave a detailed list of the giant lies told on fox news by those defendants that includes the claim that smartmatic is a venezuelan company founded by corrupt dictators like hugo chavez the claim that smartmatic technology was hacked for the purpose of election fraud and the claim that smartmatic software sent votes to foreign countries to get counted wrong like in metric or something i don't know what it means what they think they mean they sent votes elsewhere mike mike lindell had a a map of the world yeah you can see things going to like germany for no reason in back whatever that's the claim so now fox news has to prove those things are true that they said or at least prove they're stupid enough to believe those things might be true and yeah the second thing does fit them nicely but we will get to hear them do that they will have to show that they're stupid enough to believe it well but but if anybody can pull off the you'd be amazed by how stupid we are defense they might do it mr carlson you don't need to wear a dunce cap while you're on the stand and he's just like my legal counsel has advised me that i do need to wear him there was a different judge told me that i had to do that by the way we cannot just glaze over prima facie [ __ ] your fascia i just that was that was brilliant it almost snuck in there we have to like at least acknowledge how brilliant that was thank you circling back puns okay another important detail here the defamation suit was filed in new york concrete jungle where dreams are made of so when fox news filed their motion to dismiss the person in charge of ruling on that was new york supreme court judge david b cohen of the first judicial circuit in new york city and his ruling was [ __ ] you no but you know with with latin stuff no we're not creation yeah prima facie [ __ ] your face uh we're not dismissing sadly he did have to throw out the cases against specifically janine pirro and sydney powell on technicalities pirro because she didn't technically accuse smartmatic of a crime and powell because new york doesn't have jurisdiction i i honestly assume she just reached some kind of judicial limit of concurrent legal actions against right there's just like they're like i'm sorry there's only so much room on the [ __ ] paper right very possible but the rest of the cases against the other defendants moving forward and judge cohen made it pretty clear that fox news is going to have a tough road ahead he basically explained how epistemology works to a news corporation in a ruling and it's [ __ ] beautiful according to cohen quote even assuming that fox news did not intentionally allow this false narrative to be broadcasted there is a substantial basis for plaintiff's claim that at a minimum fox news turned a blind eye to a litany of outrageous claims about plaintiffs unprecedented in the history of american elections so inherently improbable that it evinced a reckless disregard for the truth end quote in other words come on guys nobody is that stupid nobody's that stupid well but honestly he only he pretty much goes further than that right it's more like like okay but even if you were just that stupid we would still have to have a law against being that stupid i didn't no i couldn't drive with my eyes closed yeah man still illegal yeah there you go we have to have a law because of people like you that yes that is all as dumb as that yes also illegal and here's my favorite part of this whole thing the downfall of fox news in this case might be the journalistic rigor of tucker carlson stay with me stay with me i'm not having a stroke i will explain following the election of 2020 those defendants were constantly making these outrageous claims and carlson asked a couple questions about it on the air which was a couple too many he went on the air and explained that he offered sydney powell a chance to present her evidence of election fraud and be on his show which is the biggest show on fox and the biggest news show in the country she said no and never gave him any evidence according to tucker quote powell never demonstrated that a single actual vote was moved illegitimately by software from one candidate to another not one end quote he also added that when he invited her on she got weirdly angry and defensive and told him to stop contacting her carlson also reached out to the trump campaign and they told him they were not aware of any evidence for the conspiracy being presented by powell and those other defendants so given all that judge cohen's ruling specifically mentioned that fox news was clearly aware of the very obvious lying pretty sure we're gonna have to find you guilty good luck but uh you know we're going through with this i want to see this again just to repeat it's very sexual for me and heath right like somewhere though deep down tucker knew that the one true thing he'd ever said was gonna come back and bite him this is so great so bottom line we need to get fox news into courtrooms whenever possible they have to do when they go to courts they have to deal with you know legal court stuff like discovery of evidence and their news team has no idea how that works i lost they have no idea what i just said except you know maybe tucker carlson their beacon of journalistic integrity maybe he knows what i meant but they have no idea and they might lose 2.7 billion dollars so i'm just i'm really happy i'm really happy about this whole thing for my america all right well on the rare happy moment we're going to take a quick break for a word from our sponsor better help [Music] this podcast is sponsored by better help online therapy hey podcast listener if you've been listening to this show a while you know that usually we like to do our ads as fun little skits songs or you know bizarre hellscapes that arise from my subconscious and we do that mostly because podcast copy absolutely stinks i mean coupon craig level stinks but we actually got some copy from betterhelp this week that i really liked so i thought i would just read it to you relationships take work a lot of us will drop anything to help someone we care about we'll go out of our way to treat other people well but how often do we give ourselves the same treatment and i don't know if that applies to you listening to this podcast but boy howdy does it apply to me especially when it comes to mental health now i have a therapist who i actually really like who haven't seen for a while but maybe you don't have a therapist yet and that's why there's better help better help is online therapy that offers video phone and even live chat sessions with your therapist so you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to it's much more affordable than in-person therapy

sponsored by betterhelp and our listeners get 10 off their first month at betterhelp.com skepticrap that's b e t t e r h e l p dot com skeptic because and take it from me because i know you can't really take care of other people if you're not okay [Music] and we're back next up in headlines in judge not news we have yet another piece of legal good news huh yeah look at us sunny days here at the skeptocrat a judge in texas has blocked the state from enforcing governor and guy i really want to tip over super bad greg abbott's order to investigate gender affirming care of minors as child abuse right yeah okay so yes that's good news in in some sense but also we needed a judge to block the policy of investigating gender affirming child abuse that had to happen negative something horrible had to happen before this could happen and be good news not lose track of that exact same sentence but in a different tone right executive nancy's both of you now if you've been a person on the internet the last couple of weeks you've heard of this thing greg abbott and his igor essentially declared trans-person fugitive slave laws by fiat and of course because the republican party are a bunch of bigot middle schoolers a bunch of other states then wrote laws that followed what we didn't see at the time except if i may toot our own horn from us over on the [ __ ] scathing atheist was the incredibly important detail that none of these orders stand a snowflake's chance of hell in a courtroom not in texas not in front of trump appointed judges not in front of this supreme court none nada zip again i don't know that that matters much there was never any intent to get this [ __ ] into a courtroom this was all to make greg abbott look bigoted enough to pass republican muster before his primary exactly and this is a strategy yes it was and i want to be clear i'm not saying there's no danger here right as ethan noah pointed out when they were being negative nancy's the fact that elected politicians want this to happen and weren't you know instantly tarred and feathered by their office staff is terrifying but it's also actionable right abbott needs to be removed from power as quickly as possible but that's very different than hey this order is being enacted and they're coming for your children which merits a very different reaction yeah this was just greg abbott walking out of his office and yelling i declare moral bankruptcy like michael scott but like extreme that's nothing that is nothing that's not how laws work even in texas that's not how long not anymore anyway yeah yeah and i do want to hedge my bets here i want to be clear about this i could be wrong about this i have been wrong about fun stuff on this show like test the stock and whether that flew in china was going to be a big yeah we all got that one right exactly and so if i am and you are a trans person or the parent of a trans kid and that day comes and i'm sure i will not be the only person to say this when that law becomes legally enforceable i have a guest room and i make a hell of a meatloaf hey he has a guest room i can verify that anyway okay the mask thing was a hoax though we can all agree that yes finally and in critical erase theory news i'll round off our opening trio of reality forced to deal with the implications of right-wing alternate fact [ __ ] headlines with a story out of virginia as you'll recall their recently elected republican governor glenn younkin basically built his entire campaign around a promise to remove critical race theory from the state's schools which is kind of like promising to protect voters from werewolves did it yeah but but here's the thing he won and then he had to do some visible thing about the imaginary problem that he promised to solve so he creates his werewolf hunting squad in the form of a tip line that parents could call if they thought that their kids were being taught you know black stuff in school and and so that he could show his constituency that he took their imaginary problem seriously he had a group test with investigating all the reported teachers just to make sure they weren't turning into wolves under the full moon and last week that led to all 133 of virginia's public school division superintendents joining to tell him to knock it the [ __ ] off they had to be like no glenn we understand that you brought a clifford the big red dog costume that you died brown and you'd like to take some pictures with us but i'm at your front door is what i'm i'm i need help i didn't go before i bundled up i need to it's the zips on the back so i have to poo so yeah this [ __ ] off came in the form of a letter sent to the state superintendent of schools jillian palo on thursday and though the letter points out a number of ways in which the administration's efforts are misguided the foremost point it makes is that the entire premise is [ __ ] quote division superintendents disagree with your assumption that discriminatory and divisive concepts have become widespread in virginia school divisions end quote in other words there are no [ __ ] werewolves to find we're in virginia my guy our last guy had photos of himself in blackface resurface during his term in office and he was the democrat yes i i should probably point out too that this tip line is not the only move that youncan's administration made to rein in the imaginary problem of k through 12 critical race theory classes the the letter also faults balo and her boss for canceling a racial equity program that was being used in public schools and labeling it divisive quote without having involved educators in formulating that position or without having provided evidence to support that position end quote so like they just looked at everything in the curriculum hunting for the words race racial or equality and then when they found him they declared that that was the devil and they canceled it now the letter also took issue with an interim report balo put out that confirmed that she found evidence which she failed to cite by the way of critical race theory in training and other resources in the virginia education system okay we couldn't find any werewolves so we did kill all the seeing eye dogs you're welcome people in virginia that's perfect well you can kill blind people too is that like root of the problem yeah do you should i kill i got ready nope so you're saying no i see you said you're not no okay okay now to be clear what balo found wasn't imaginary so while there is no critical race theory in schools that is code for a real thing in these people's minds and often we make the mistake of thinking that it's limited to stuff like history teachers pointing out that the guy who wrote all men are created equal owned slaves right that is part of it but part of it is also the larger conservative effort to defund public schools altogether yunkan is using his crusade against critical werewolf theory to shut down programs aimed at helping underserved communities achieve better educational outcomes the report that elicited this letter in the first place was mostly about shutting down programs that bala said we're trying to ensure equality of outcomes as opposed to equality of opportunities and now those are code words they constantly use for this [ __ ] of like all kids should take the same test and we should make no provisions for the fact that some of them don't have a [ __ ] tutor a computer or breakfast okay kids we do actually want to make this fair so if you didn't have a dad raise your hand and i'm gonna come around and give you a hug slash tell you to knock it dead keep them keep them up i should i should also emphasize here that the 133 division superintendents that signed on to this thing not like they were all from the same political party no in virginia in virginia but but i guess when you're being offered up on the sacrificial altar the partisanship just melts away for a moment and we're seeing this more and more from this [ __ ] in virginia to the don't say gay bill in florida conservatives are increasingly putting public school teachers in the crosshairs and as if that's not bad enough by itself that also means that all the collateral damage is bound to be students and their education um and that's a that's a strategy for the republican party though you don't want educated students not gonna go well right right and speaking of collateral damage we're gonna pause for a quick word from our other sponsor this week policy

started typing that into my search bar but i guess the algorithm knows i'm usually looking for skeptic headlines that time of the week so it must have auto completed to what fresh new hell is in the headlines right now and i just hit search and the answer is giant spiders expected to drop from sky across the east coast this spring that's the exact words from a headline oh it's so weird for a headline to monger so much fear and less wait a minute okay this headline might as well be heath it's time for you to ask a girl at the prom while you sing and dance naked and improvise a [ __ ] eulogy for your dead dad right now on the spot nightmare okay that's absolutely fresh and written by the way yeah there we go got it it just it's in the can so ah apparently there's an invasive species of spider called the joro originally from japan and they found their way to the breeding ground for you know fresh new hells called georgia here in the united states and now we have population of millions that's going to fan out across the entire eastern seaboard will they be walking on the ground like spiders do no they'll be flying they make a web that doubles as a flying balloon and a parachute flying spiders i'm not making this up it's real honest fly okay heath but maybe they suck like the parachute gi joes did and they'll all just get lost in the stormtrooper yeah there you go we can hope but i don't think so so at this point you might be thinking heath you're screaming a lot just relax it's just a spider they're probably just you know a single muted matte color that's not terrifying wrong wrong they're bright yellow stripy with black blue and red it's terrible you're trying to make terrible mario's color schemes sound scary i'm not with you mario had eight legs and flew on a [ __ ] parachute at me in the millions of game where he does absolutely just puts his hat on its head i don't like italian people and now you're probably thinking we're allowed to say mean stuff about italian people no you're right that's like it's like a free one irish people and italian people we're allowed to so at this point you're thinking heath what the [ __ ] are you talking about you need what are you saying that is true this isn't in the script at all but back to the spiders you're probably thinking okay but it's not like those spiders are named after joro gumo a shape-shifting demon that can switch between a human lady and a spider before killing its prey wrong again that's exactly what they're named after all right so podcast listener heath has pasted said spider demon lady into our notes terrifying all right if you're gonna paste my porn into the notes then i'm going to do yours okay okay and now eli has pasted a picture of elizabeth warren fellas do you mind getting back to our audio medium he started it you know just let me see the picture let me save it fine jesus save as got it okay and now you're probably thinking okay but they're just tiny little spiders right it's not a big deal false you're wrong about everything everything you think is wrong they're the size of a child's hand giant spiders and they fly did i mention they [ __ ] fly they're flying giant spiders imagine an army of disembodied baby hands parachuting down from the sky but with eight legs and they're fast and if they touch you for five seconds you can die so imagine okay all right the the five second thing might not be real but i've never tested that because i'm not crazy according to the nerds though i will say okay i'm calming down i'm calming down according to the nerds the juro is venomous and has fangs but they're not big enough to bite through human skin that being said they [ __ ] fly did i mention that they fly they fly they could easily land on your eyeball and probably bite their fangs right into that i don't know podcast listener i know we got spider weirdos in our audience there's no chance that we don't if you bring a tarantula you're a weird tarantula this is all cut live show cut this is all good keep talking from the wings on keith and you're a member of our podcast give it a little hang glider like exactly thank you yeah and in do you hear the people saying news if you have shitty trump supporting relatives then you're well aware of the people's convoy do you gear the people damn it [ __ ] you the people's convoy a 30 mile long protest slash white supremacy gathering that recently got kicked the [ __ ] out of canada and then spent the last few weeks promising to be just as annoying down here in the united states well it appears this week that they met their match because you know who else is a dangerous psychopath using their car without care or regard for the safety and sanity of other human beings every single person in dc traffic yeah look if any city is acclimated to being paralyzed by gridlock guys you're not doing anything they haven't you know right so to clarify the trucker's convoy was a protest that turned into a white supremacy rally the people's convoy appears to be a white supremacy rally that turned into a protest yeah actually same diff at the end of the day and their plan was to be a quote huge pain to drivers on the 64-mile beltway by circling it twice going only 40 miles an hour except dc traffic and this is real i'm not making this up except dc traffic is literally selected to be the worst possible human beings in the world so the convoy got separated by the [ __ ] road warriors and select truckers failed after just one lap it's already full of trucks and going way less than 40 miles an hour lots of time that's not you didn't accomplish anything oh we're gonna get on the new york subway and masturbate and lock eyes with you nope no already happening you didn't accomplish anything that's happening to me already they're gathering at the hotel the next day they're all right guys new plan we're gonna interrupt pedestrian traffic by standing still in the middle of the sidewalk trying to frame a picture of the capitol dome or checking our maps at length at the top of subway stairs they'll never expect that are you unfolding a paper map what the [ __ ] is happening in your life that's valuable [Laughter] and while the convoys nebulous demands haven't been met because they don't exist no they have gotten a lot of middle fingers which is why one of the leaders of the convoy suggested on thursday that members of the convoy should call 9-1-1 on anyone who pissed them off saying quote remember if you got a bad actor you got somebody acting dumb uh hashtag 7-7 with the mile marker and report the vehicle end quote and then a trucker in the crowd added if they don't take care of it then we'll just flood 9-1-1 and by the way when reached for comment a maryland state official confirmed that 9-1-1 is uh still just for emergencies oh getting flipped off one sure not in fact an emergency hello 9-1-1 there's a guy with three giant turtle shells just circling around his prius i feel like he's menacing okay now he's power sliding around me he's giving me a desk you're gone they hung up okay one last thing about this story and i'm just it's everything about it is so [ __ ] funny but i'm gonna quote directly from the daily beast here quote the american people are done with government overreach a convoy participant in the passenger seat of a white suv told the daily beast while traveling on the beltway asked if anything was being accomplished by driving in circles the car took off [ __ ] you pokebomb and finally tonight in funny way of putin at news thank you republican representative madison cawthorne is an incredibly stupid russian asset who's probably too dumb to know that i'm right about what i just said now obviously he hasn't earned the title of the dumbest russian asset in american politics but he's pretty [ __ ] stupid he's close and we were reminded of that yet again this week when he parroted russian propaganda at a recent town hall event in north carolina dubbing ukrainian president vladimir zelinski a thug and saying that his government is quote incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil end quote and and just in case that wasn't enough to enrage his audience he added quote and it has been pushing woke ideologies seriously he's a fascist dictator who murders his own citizens and he likes black people [ __ ] martial torches by the way you know who had a great summer house adolf hitler yeah that's right turns out i'm a u.s congressman that's real i've been there i'm a big enthusiast so yeah [ __ ] this latest [ __ ] up by their sad little effort to have the republican version of aoc was first reported in that notoriously left-leaning rag the wall street [ __ ] journal by long-term liberal crusader carl [ __ ] rove sure who described cawthorne's comments as quote echoing mr trump's isolationism and kremlin apologetics end quote because this is social justice warrior that carl [ __ ] wrote i've always said about him yeah because holy [ __ ] we're republicans in a hurry to distance themselves from this nonsense like not you know when trump said essentially the same thing but but but there's nobody easier to throw under a bus than a paraplegic so they were lined up to get their denunciations in quick while some non-trump person was saying it uh this included legendary trump sycophants like lindsey graham who took time off from tongue-bathing the donald's perineum to label clawthorne an outlier along with all the other republican lawmakers that are saying the same they're all a bunch of outliers so i get it meanwhile over here in the democrats joe manchin's like i'd like nothing to ever happen and to get creamed in the midterms and we're like there's nothing we can do about this we tried all the words you guys all of them what else okay i'm not clear on what point you just made but i'm confident in saying it lacked nuances whatever that was i'm saying same way mansion and the next guy will be better behaved right yeah no and we're back i'd probably be a republican though of course that's not the only trouble madison cawthorne managed to get himself into this week he also apparently got charged with driving on a revoked license and not for the first time now very obviously madison cawthorne and cars don't get along great he was partially paralyzed when he was riding with a friend who fell asleep at the wheel while madison had his feet up on the [ __ ] dashboard i mean i i don't really blame the guy but that's a dumb place for feet to be clear never do that i'd like to blame him okay two votes cars are also at the center of his sexual assault mo apparently most of his accusers say the assaults happened after he offered to take them for a drive then parked out in the middle of nowhere and tried to force himself on them and while privacy laws keep us from knowing exactly why his license was revoked in the first place we do know that he's been ticketed for speeding at least three times in the last six [ __ ] months so you know we've at least got a clue yeah nothing like the feeling of the wind in your hitler salute with the top down no because the wind gets under it yeah you do that yeah absolutely yeah i guess you could say he's on the uh highway to ohio i would heil there you go anyway i see dc the point is that if his full-throated endorsement of russian propaganda isn't enough to cost him his primary he's super likely to kill himself with reckless driving before he can be re-elected either way the folks who dubbed him the future of the republican party are starting to sound premature i don't know noah dying of your own stupidity is practically the platform at this point oh it is actually the covet era so yeah okay all right all right fair oh i hope he dies on that we're gonna close it out oh but you can do it you can hope anybody dies you're allowed to hope somebody does that's legal it's legally protected hoping thank you thank you i would like some space the founding fathers wanted me to hope people died sometimes i would like to hope that it's my turn it's my turn and we're back and we're going to close it out rude

Dora okay Chi potential here here here here pear pinfu I think I would try for pinfu as quickly as possible because we have two Dora okay so let's discard let's discard the green dragon and draw for South three crack that might be helpful so let's see if we can play terminals in all we have seven eight nine potential one two three let's mmm let's get rid of the West because we could maybe play pinfu and if we can make terminals and all work then we'll do that let's draw four West to crack okay let's go ahead and discard it doesn't really matter at this point I want to play a hoe need suit there let's discard the one crack and draw for North five BAM six crack oh I should have gotten rid of the east okay that was a mistake all right down here one BAM let's see here we're gonna try for pinfu here right pinfu we have one two pair at the moment let's get rid of the south and draw for south green dragon discard it's already out drawing for West red dragon that'll help with Honi Tzu let's get rid of the two craft and draw for North North discard we're gonna try for pinfu up there and draw for east red dragon mmm discard drawing for South three dot oh let's get rid of the south and we can draw for West five crack whoa Oh Dora acha Dora right there mmm okay let's discard the nine crack maybe if we pair up again because we have a pair here here and here if we get two more pair we can switch to toy toy which is all pone and then that way we can leverage the five crack let's draw for North six dot that's helpful let's get rid of that East and draw for East two dot okay that is a maybe tile we can discard the North okay we can draw now for south - dot okay let's check this out potential chi isolated there's a chi there's a chi we were thinking I was thinking jun-chan seven eight nine isolated pear or Chi here we need a one let's get rid of the eight dot and that's Dora right there so let's see what happens and draw for West ooh poem okay there's a phone okay I'm just gonna get rid of the acha Dora and play Pony Tzu let's draw for North eight dot that's good okay pair that's another pair huh another pair here four five six there's a seven eight nine chi potential cheese all we have a pair potential chi here pair we need a chi with this what about a pure GG here three four five three four five get rid of the two one two three four five mmm let's get rid of the two BAM for North so everybody has four discards so far drawing for east-west discard drawing for South Green Dragon okay drawing for West one crack discard drawing for North seven BAM para nines potential chi oh we were thinking that was going to be pure double chi there's a chi these are potential cheese seven eight nine let's get rid of let's get rid of the seven damn and draw for East six BAM okay here we go we have a pair potential chi potential chi potential chi isolated we have a pair here potential chi we have Akkad or there a nine dot okay since we have a pair of one Bam's I don't think we're gonna be able to get down to Tania which is all simples so this 9 is isolated let's throw that that's the sixth discard so this player did not make it to you ten PI in six discards so let's try for South and see what we can do seven crack we're not gonna make it there there's a chi isolated pair or this is ready on a pure double chi right here no yeah seven no it's not yes it is there's an eight seven eight nine seven eight nine so there's a potential chi seven eight nine and here's a cheese seven eight nine so that would be a potential pierre GG there so that's two so one two three four all we need is a pair in here one two three okay so let's discard this let's just car the six man that would be for South so they did not make it to ten PI but they got close they're closed they're only two away let's draw for West seven crack yeah we're gonna get rid of the five crack we're trying to get to honey tzu so they didn't make it to ten pi in six just cards either let's draw for North four dot okay pair potential G potential Chi Chi four five six four five another two potential P R double cheese oh my goodness okay well why not oh you know what I don't think that can you count double pure double cheese would you if you have to P R double cheese do you get to yaku for that or one I'm going to have to ask about that from somebody one two three four let's get rid of the four dot and not worry about that right now so they're close to their to two or three I think they need their two away from being ready also they need a four BAM in here so let's draw four East five crack five crack right there five crack we have one two three pair two three five we want to use that red five here's a four five - away from a pure double key we have a four five six there here's a pair let's get rid of this eight crack okay and we'll draw four South eight dot that is not helpful and let's draw four that's a eight dot we just threw an eight dot if they're playing ho neat su we can chew that lets Chi and discard the seven crack okay we got them to a half flush they have one chi two three four we need a pair okay so let's draw for North 6:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. okay if we can get rid of the five dot that's not going to hurt them at all right there so four five six seven eight nine three four five maybe three four five five six seven who knows let's draw for East oh they have a seven BAM in their discard pile so this is probably going to need to go away three crack oh that's helpful because now they have three four five three four five for a potential peer GG there let's discard this - BAM okay so we need we need a four dot and then we can discard that let's draw four South to crack okay seven eight nine pair nines or that could be isolated and there's a chi two three four there's a chi one two three cheese here's a potential chi we need a pair though we need to have a pair in here seven eight nine two three four - one two three okay this could be the pair maybe right here this could be the pair 7 8 9 PR gg 1 2 3 4 pair okay let's get rid of the 2 dot so Chi potential pure double Chi 7 8 9 7 8 9 side wait three four five pair of two's or two three four and then this will be a discard let's draw four West for crack we can discard that and draw four North for Bam oh yeah that was a good one right there so we have a four or five six seven eight nine three four five three four let's reach and we'll be ready to win on a four BAM for a pure double Chi and reach in Akkad hora oh and to Dora that's going to be nice let's discard and reach so I'll put up a marker right here so reach in eight discards drawing for East three crack there's their PR GG three four five three four five Pierre GG right there so if we have a one a pair ones four five six three four five three four five we can be ready on pure double chi and reach again and they have Akkad aura so let's reach I'm gonna put a marker for them there are two reaches on the table now we need to see if somebody has to switch to defense G pair oh no they're ready here on a pure double chi there's a chi they need a pair and they can reach to their their two away here we have potentials they have three discards they're the furthest away they might need to consider switching to defense so let's see here let's a draw for South three dot there's pair we're gonna reach two three four they need an eighth crack for a Pierre GG and reach we're gonna reach hmm reach for South oh my goodness this is kind of strange okay the West needs to draw six dot okay now we're going to discard there are two West's out and there's a North out - these are these are probably all safe tiles there's a red out - let's discard the West and they're there - away from ready let's draw four North six crack got a discard because we're waiting on a four BAM drawing for East we need an a 4.6 BAM discard drawing for South eight BAM they're waiting on an eight crack discarding the eight BAM and we're going to draw for West five BAM that's a discard we're gonna draw for North to crack that is a discard to crack we're looking for we're looking for a four dot here and an eight crack here let's draw for East eight crack that's that is a discard and they've reached so we're going to discard the eight crack and that's grown for South I guess we put it down here like this pair 2 3 4 7 8 9 7 8 9 and then well maybe I could put it over here like this there okay let's look at because they've reached we qualify for or adora oh okay so they're gonna get they have pin no no no they have not pin food they had a middleweight or a closed wait so that they won't get pinfu but they do have pure double chi reach pure double chi reach and then - dora - yeah - they have Dora and or adora so this is a for Han plus they get the the sticks so for score they have since they only have four han they have to count many points many points would be two points for closed weight which was the eight crack they would get 20 points for concealed hands so that surrounded up to 25 they have four han 25 for Han would be 6400 so they would get 6400 from this player because they're the dealer well they through not because they're the dealer but they through they threw the winning tile and then they get the sticks because they won and the other reach players did not I think I got that right whoever throws the winning tile has to pay for the all the players that's the penalty for discarding the winning tile let me know what you thought about that solitaire game for me it really helps build my confidence with decision-making for anybody new to the game I hope that that was helpful and gave you an idea on what it's like to play the game it really is a lot of fun it's very strategic very sophisticated complex give it a try yourself and don't forget that there are links below the video to the lesson playlist so you can learn how to play if you like this video give me a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed to my channel consider subscribing click the bell when you do that way you'll get notification for when I post new videos and you won't miss an opportunity to learn a new strategy or maybe pick up an insight to the game that could give you an advantage at the table between now and the next solitaire for Japanese mahjong also known as ricci may all your picks be keepers you [Music] | Michele Frizzell #MAHJLIFE | UCyhydCuxDvVSX-yco5SHMDA | 2018-06-30 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,643 | 12,880 |
Dn-zjkHtra8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn-zjkHtra8 | Writing Advanced CWL JS Expressions in TypeScript | Hello and welcome to my presentation 'Writing Advanced CWL JS Expressions in TypeScript'. My name is Alexis Lucattini, I work for the University of Melbourne Center for Cancer Research as a bioinformatician within the Genomics Platform Group. I would like to begin by acknowledging the Wurundjeri people, traditional custodians of the land of which I'm delivering this presentation to you today and acknowledge their elders past and present. This presentation is on our CWL journey at UMCCR and the benefits I found of using typescript to create and maintain our CWL JavaScript Expressions. Expressions of the glue that allow our workflows to run, and we'd be in a lot of trouble without them. One of my main roles in the team is building CWL workflows for pushing our patient data through Illumina's Connected Analytics Platform, that allows us to run Dragen software through FPGAs which are backed by AWS. This has allowed us to both scale and drastically reduce our overall processing time. I presented here a couple of years ago when we were on the cusp of making our cwl-ica repo public. A lot of work went in to have this automated pipeline via GitHub actions which also then pushed back information to GitHub after interacting with the ICA API. We now have a system that auto--builds a documentation based on the CWL labels + doc attributes and allows us to easily overwrite and update our workflows in our ICA development environment, whilst keeping all of our workflows in production immutable. We are also moving to a tag-based release system, which is in beta, so please head on and check out our releases page in the repository. Almost all of our production workflows use some form of object orientation in their input so please have a look if you're curious about using CWL schemas. A link to the cwl-ica repo will be in the links at the end of this presentation. Okay let's get into it. CWL allows for JavaScript expressions with the purpose of letting a tool run that may require a little bit of extra spice compared to a regular command line tool. This might be from updating an input value to have an extra suffix, to using conditional syntaxes depending on what inputs are present, to finding a file in the outputs that can't easily be globbed. We can also use CWL JS expressions in workflow steps and this is useful if the output of one step doesn't quite match the required input format of another downstream step. We may also wish to have a bash script in our InitialWorkDir listing and we can actually place JavaScript in there. And that would be to dynamically build that bash script using the values of the inputs at runtime, which is pretty cool! Expressions are really powerful in CWL but the usage is usually quite minimal. 'Why is that?' you might ask. Well CWL JavaScript Expressions must conform to a very old version of JavaScript, so it's hard to know if what you're writing is conformant until cwltool complains about it, which in my opinion is too late, because then what I've written is a waste of time. Expressions are often embedded in a multi-line yaml string inside the InlineJavascriptRequirements of a tool or workflow, making them hard to read and debug. And even if you can read them, editing them is a steep learning curve and requires the knowledge of CWL classes. This is where TypeScript comes in. TypeScript allows for a lovely syntax highlighting and code hinting in IDEs such as WebStorm and VSCode. Most importantly it can 'transpile' to es5 conformant code, which is really cool. When writing with CWL TypeScript expressions, it can autocomplete attributes for you based on the variable's type class. We can complement our TypeScript code with the jest framework to unit test our TypeScript functions before integrating them into our tools and workflows. And one pretty awesome part of this journey was developing a little python script that could take a CWL schema and create a complementary TypeScript interface for this schema to use in TypeScript expressions. Some caveats, after transpiling to JavaScript the code isn't always CWL compatible. We need to use some regex first. I've put all of this into an ugly sed script, so most of you won't need to deal with that. There's only been a couple of times in the last six months where I've had an issue transpiling, but you should be able to detect these if you use the jest framework since it tests both in TypeScript and JavaScript languages. So we've done the theory, let's showcase this! Let's imagine we have a workflow with two steps, the first creating a directory that contains a bam file, but let's say that bam file isn't usually a relevant output for this tool and so it isn't in the list of outputs for the tool. But we need it as an input for the second tool in this particular workflow. So we need a simple expression to collect a bam file from the output directory objects listing attribute. So now I'm going to enter into a live coding demo. So now I have my WebStorm project up, I'm going to run a quick command here in the terminal this is a cwl-ica subcommand, as you can see from the output logs it's actually just calling a shell script, so if you're not running cwl-ica you can just run that instead. Let's have a look at what files have been created via the project viewer. Inside get-bam-file-from-directory version 1.0.0, we can see a few new files in here. js.config no need to touch this. package.json contains the npm dependencies that we need. tsconfig the only important thing here is the target which we have set to 'es5'. Now let's have a look at the template that it's created for us. The declare-global-backwards-compatibility section and that's just for cwl-ts-auto module, if you use that that's for es5 backwards compatibility, it's no need to really worry about that. Today I'm going to import the CWL classes File and Directory from the rabix/cwlts module. I rename these to IFile and IDirectory since these are interfaces rather than classes and I like to denote that with the 'I' prefix. Interfaces differ from classes as there are no initialized properties or methods to help create objects. They merely define the properties and type an object can have. Okay let's make our function. We're going to prefix with export since we need to import the function into our test-suite later on, then write the word 'function' and then the name 'get_bam_file_from_directory', this will take two inputs, directory (a directory object) and the file name to find (which is a string), the IFile at the end denotes the function output (which should be of type File). We add in a quick little function description. Let's first check that the listing attribute of our directory exists, we can see here that WebStorm is already hinting using the listing attribute for the direction variable, which is really cool. And let's throw an error if the directory listing attribute doesn't exist. Now let's define our local variables, 'bam_file' and 'bam_file_index'. We can't define them as files yet so we say that they can also be null. Let's use the 'filter' method over our listing list and return all items that match our file name. It's really cool to see the IDE know that the items of the list are either File or Directory too. Let's copy paste and use that same filter for the index but add on the bam index suffix to the filename. Now let's check that that filter actually returns something and the bam file actually exists in that directory. If not, let's throw a descriptive error. Otherwise, we have our bam file, and that's the first item of this array. Oh! We have an error here, well this is since we said our bam file was an optional file, but this item is either a 'File' or a 'Directory' and those may not match? We can fix this through 'type-coercion' and letting the compiler know we're confident that this IS in fact a file object. Now let's check if the BAM file index exists, we don't want to error out if it doesn't though. It should be an optional secondary file. Again, we use the type-coercion to stop the IDE complaining, then attach this variable to the bam file's secondaryFiles attribute. And return the BAM file. Yay! Now for the testing part, our wrapper script also creates the 'tests' directory with a dummy test file inside. I'm again going to import the rabix-cwlts Directory and File interfaces and import get_bam_file_from_directory from the expression file we just created. In the interests of time, I'm going to copy and paste our expected inputs and outputs from this function. We create some files and one directory. We create a listing in this directory, and add a dummy file here, to make sure our function isn't just returning the first file in the list. We then add in the bam and bam index we created above. For our output expected file we can then 'deepcopy' the bam file object and add in the bam index as a secondary file. Okay let's update this dummy test, and use some actual descriptions in the describe and test functions. Inside 'expect', we call our function with our inputs and then we use the toMatchObject method and place our expected output as the one parameter to toMatchObject. We can then run the cwl-ica subcommand typescript-expression-validate. Again you see that there is an actual underlying shell script there so if you're not using cwl-ica, you can use that instead. Let's have a look in our tests directory now. We can see that there's a summary file and yay our tests have passed! Although we only had one test, it was run twice once via TypeScript and then again via JavaScript. Let's look at some more complex use cases. To run the dragen tool I mentioned at the start, it needs to have a file called 'fastq_list.csv' in the working directory, so we use a Dirent for that. However, the columns Read1File and Read2File must point to the path attributes of the fastq files and these paths are only evaluated at the tool runtime. We also have other metadata attributes that we would like to link to each pair of fastq files. So the solution is to create a CWL schema for the inputs and then use some TypeScript magic to create the 'fastq_list.csv' file at runtime of the dragen tool. Using our TypeScript expressions, we're able to create a listing object, where the entry is of a class 'File' and the contents map to the items in the fastq_list_rows inputs. This logic is used across all of our dragen workflows, so using the TypeScript and jest framework meant that we could test how this works with; one row; multiple rows; one row with the keys reordered; and multiple rows with keys in different order to each item in that list. To make a new dragen workflow (or tool) now one just has to import the dragen expression file and call one single function. This means that the tool is clean, the logic has been well tested, DRY-typed and we can all sleep well at night! Another advanced use-case, so this is probably the most advanced that I'm comfortable playing with at the moment, we can now specify a really large json that has all of the information required to create all of the split sample sheets we need for a BCLConvert workflow run. This also improves the reproducibility. Previously specifying a file as a sample sheet meant that if that file was ever changed then the workflow could not be replicated. This workflow uses a three-level nested schema, so please go and check that out if you're interested in CWL schemas. The input on the left shows the task's input json and the SampleSheet.csv is the listing generated before the task actually even starts on the right. This is the snippet of the tool definition for BCLConvert, we can see here that it's really clean. There's really not too much logic going on and it's really easy to read for both the requirements and the inputs. Some expressions we repeat a lot, like 'take-this-input-if-not-null-otherwise-take-that-input'. It might only be five lines or so but if you need that in 20 different workflows then that's 100 lines of WET-typing. A solution might be to create a common JavaScript repository using TypeScript and auto-test that, know that they definitely work as you expect them to and then you import them instead. Here are some examples of that 'general-glue' on the left and its implementation inside a bash script on the right. This is some more logic used as workflow step glue that adds some extra checks and balances to our workflows to make sure that they're working as expected. TypeScript allows for complex JavaScript manipulations in CWL to be written in a popular programming language with type-hinting for CWL-class objects. Our setup allows for unit-testing of functions in both TypeScript and JavaScript before the user deploys them into CWL command line tools or workflows. TypeScript's transpilation method drastically improves the es5.1 compatibility of our expressions. There's certainly somewhere learning cure to TypeScript particularly those that aren't used to 'typed' languages. Coming from python, this was pretty mind-boggling at first. The setup scripts are not trivial, and this is definitely still a work in progress. If anyone knows anything about yarn or anything better than yarn, please hit me up! On this, yarn sometimes makes the node_modules directory and this can make over 10,000 files in one directory. The common-workflow-lab's cwl-ts-auto module certainly needs some improvement to be more user-friendly and in the meantime the rabix/cwlts does just fine if all you really need is the File and Directory object classes, which has really been my scope to date. That is all I have time for, thank you to my team, Sehrish who I've worked closely with on the cwl-ica repository for some time, my apologies for pushing another programming language to learn but I think the benefits have outweighed the pain. Oliver, my boss, for letting me go down this rabbit-hole. To Bruno from the Barcelona Super Computing Center for his inputs and enthusiasm on this topic during CWL monthly catch-up calls and suggesting automating the schema-to-typescript-interfaces. And also thank you to Michael Crusoe who needs no introduction here for his interest and putting his time into this space. It's been really cool to see this project gain traction.

foot coins check out u7buy.com there is a link in the description and use the code haber to get yourself a discount on all of your orders now we finished 22.8 last week we bottled elite three in the last game unfortunately but we have two player picks i do not deserve to get anything good last week got werner i definitely don't deserve to get anything decent but there is a red joe gomez a red rivalry a red pauline a red zaha all will be very nice let's see what we're getting in our first player pick it's gonna be sadly not anything amazing uh i'm just gonna take ricardo s es gayo as uh the rating second player pick now anything decent in this one oh i've taken alberto to be fair 86 rated not bad i think last week we got an 82 and 86 as well he's not exactly great but i'll take it a6 rated decent fodder for an sbc at the very worst uh not too shabby to be fair we've got 200k packs now as well we do have rule breakers in packs as well which is very nice so let's see if we can get ourselves a rulebreaker 100k back fingers krusty a fingers crossed is it worth going to gold one for promos uh with rewards that is a question it's not a walk out in the first pack it is the hero from iax though we'll take it he's try all right it's at least i think ten thousand coins in the bag looks very cool actually i like the hero design this year um yeah it's at least ten thousand coins in the back there anything else in the pack anything else two blues as well yeah 13 000 coins right there we'll send the perfect link to the transfer list as well as vidal store the rest of the club and discard the remaining 16 items that don't sell for anything so not the worst first pack but you do want to see a walk out ea probably not going to see one though second pack maybe walk out come on ea please walk out let's go he's a informed walkout could be decent portuguese oh it's not good is it eh it's not bad guerrero what's that 86 85 86 86 could be a joe gomez in there as well that's not too bad 89 dribbling 86 passing not great pace but could be something else in there a cheeky dangler oh no way we actually just got joe gomez in their pack no way what what what what no way you're lying to me how many coins did we just make it's 500k i actually just called that as well there's no way there's legit no way that's incredible oh my word well then i am i'm going to storm on the transfer this will sell him i'm not going to keep him we are going to sell him oh my goodness gracious the red list or what am i read listed or what no way okey dokey we have elite one rewards now bash's elite one rewards he's got three player books and five items come on here show the joe gomez here please ouch that is not a good start uh we'll go within some because i mean he looks the best out of all those options come on show us the joe gomez plz or valverde zaha i take zaha that's decent that is not bad at all to be fair great super sub option he's so he's like striking that in bappe in that so i don't think he really cares about zaha going there starting 11 but that's not bad we'll take a zaha anything else bamford this guy again that is so annoying okay zaha is not bad one out of three is not too s it's not too terrible um now we've just got to look for the team of the week pack to have joe gomez in and maybe the 100k packs tab joker madden as well oh yeah i forgot 200k because two team three packs but yeah hopefully both of these have got joe gomez in and then the 200k plaques have also got joe gomez and then two million coins have been made walk out let's go i say ucl walk out don't be a fraud come on don't be a fake german goalkeeper neuer just stay good 90 rated that's not bad it's not a fake walk out to be fair it is actually a real walk out so we'll take that we'll take that ea thank you very much and if else in the pack with that there's a ghost i don't know who like like there's just like a weird like gap between blackish and to stego if anyone i don't i don't know if that's just like my console bugging out but like there's there's like it goes to stegen and a gap and then val glitch that's strange anyway to stay good on the transfer they store the rest of the club gretzky in the same pack as well that's not bad at all to be fair that is really decent that is really decent all right 200k back come on let's keep the walkouts going here please keep the walkouts coming come on walk out let's go it's another ucl walkout which is really weird to me spanish this time center back right back carvajal ah this is a this is one of those fake walkouts i was talking about it's gonna be azpilicueta unfortunately not amazing ah yeah that one that one's a little bit a little bit on the outside you know um yeah that one sadly wasn't great but two team of three packs now we want to see walkouts now in terms of the team of the week right i think realistically the three plays you want to see here are joe gomez valverde and zaha it is somewhere in the pack paulinho is also apparently extinct at about 130k or something like that all right he's going for about 120k so apparently it'll be nice kimmich would be quite nice as well just anyone decent here yeah come on walk out walk out good start come on big nation big nation english joe gomez let's go joe gomez come on that is what you'd love to see right there that right there is what you love to see that's 450 to 500k made just in the first team pack alone that is the second joe gomez of the day that is what you love to see come on boys let's go that is really really nice we'll take that little patrick bamford action there as well come on very very nice all right store those on the transfer list come on back to back joe gomez would be incredible that would be a big big win from the team of the week packs walk out again go on let me see english again here go on portuguese it's at 85. could there be of alvario joe gomez hiding in this pack like a dangler would be nice would be nice if there's a dangler in this one come on what are we saying there is not sadly so i mean still very very nice all right it is very rare at this stage in the game you make that many coins from elite one so that is really solid actually we'll take that that's decent all right we've got sam's gold one rewards now uh he actually sent me a list of plays that he wants let me quickly grab up sam's uh list there we go so obviously gomez at the top of the list with valverde close behind paulinho he's not bad though that is decent that was his fourth pick i think so that is a decent player right there i actually really wanted this guy because he gets a perfect link to the brand new talisca card that is a really nice link as well he'll be a great like super sub midfielder second one is a double paulinio right okay well then um that's unfortunate actually because that would have been nice if one of them was valverde but still really good to get at least one pauline let alone two um all right well 200k is coming up are we about to get three joe gomez's on three different sets of rewards that would be pretty insane i don't think though i really don't i don't see that coming here we go 500k pack walk out go on we've got a walk out of the first pack it's going to be money oh i'm sorry i thought it was money all right cooler barley's still decent though what's he worth i think sells for a good amount of coins actually cooler barley he's selling for about 40k it's not bad it's not bad not bad at all anything else in the pack danglers why now them in there as well i think why not i'm still worth a good amount why now then what you selling for we got an inform of course 73 000 coins so over 100k made from this pack donnie van der beek in there is not really selling for much that's really decent actually just on coulee barley and white i'm alone that's over 110 000 coins so that is a decent pack second hundred k pack now for sam what are we saying hey are we getting something decent for some here come on oh it's no walk out unfortunately but it is a board spanish left back oh it's it's bad isn't it it's gaia trying to think 83 raids anyone decent gabby jesus sadly not sadly not that is um could have been a lot better could have a lot better but i tell you what we're still on a good run for awards we're still doing really well we made over 100k from just one pack alone so 150k made roughly from gold one maybe 200k he sells absolutely everything not bad all right we've got eddie's elite two rewards now which means i think he's got three player picks with five items and then one team of the week pack and one 100k pack let's go with the first play pick come on let's see if alvario joe gomez paulinho again very very nice that is a decent player to get straight away very nice come on what we saying zaha oh this is looking good zaha and paulinho so far this is looking very good this is looking very promising third one guerrero is not bad i'll tell you what that is a good set of player picks from elite two like that is really really nice you'll take that we'll take paulinho zaha and guerrero all right one 100k pack and one premium team of the week pack incoming now for elite two let's see if we can get something good for eddie come on jumbo jumbo rare player pack first 100k pack what you're saying come on yay walk out let's see a walkout icon something crazy walk out let's go it's not an icon it's a normal walk out what we're saying portuguese striker right wing you troll that could have been bruno that could be ronaldo but it's not it's bernardo silva i'll tell you why it's not bad though uh it's still pretty decent we'll take an 87 walk out it could be a dangler in there as well could be like a cheeky wine out of them again i don't know how much banana stuff is worth but i don't think it's a lot oh gabby jesus i'll tell you what i think he's still worth a little bit maybe like 40k come on still be worth a little bit guppy jesus please 32 000 coins for gabby jesus so not bad not bad at all to be fair uh don't think many of these guys sell but i sent a few to transfer list that's not bad that could be a lot worse that could have been a lot worse all right previously the week back now here we go what are we saying valverde oh it's not a walk out here you can't do that to me it's not even a walkout it's english as well it's patrick bamford it's not it's danny ings that's not bad it's danny ing's worth a little bit hopefully he's wearing like a good chunk of coins danny ings what are we saying 83 danny is worth about 11k brilliant that's that's what you want to see that right there is what you want to see um is bamford actually in the pack he's not okay uh yeah unfortunately not a great team of the week back there unfortunately for eddie to end off on all right we've got some elite three roads to open now to end off this video let's see if we can get anything good here we go first player pick come on joe gomez please we've not seen a red joe gomez today unfortunately and we're yet to see a regular joe gomez it's gonna be zhao pedro instead unfortunately we've seen red zohan red pelinio we haven't seen a valverde at all anywhere to be fair as well there's paulinho again i tell you what he uh he lurks in the shadows and then just pops out randomly but the we're looking brazilian so far come on the wrong englishman there the wrong lines to be honest he's just not good enough to take like if he had 85 pace it's like oh maybe he's a super super option that's a good idea but just the rating is is too valuable at this stage of the game in my opinion to um to to not take all right we've got 100k back here and then we have got ourselves a premium team that we pack as well oh here we go 100k back first walk out please no walk out feels bad we're gonna skip that we're gonna we're gonna just skip through it oh no i've just realized i have i have uh oh kyle walker let's go that's sick actually i don't know what kyle walker's worth it's all the rest of the club no idea what kyle walker's worth but that is really nice we'll take carl walker whilst i open the pack i'm actually going to check car walker's price i think he's still worth a really nice amount of coins what is kyle walker going for hundred thousand coins and we've got a walk out here going english go on ea oh spanish tell you what though it's 86 so it could mean or even 87. so it could mean there still could be a joe gomez in hero valverde to make up a lot of coins but carl walker's worth a hundred thousand coins that is a big win and unfortunately no danglers but not bad to be fair not bad could have been way worse | ItsHaber | UCR-WgO2-GUmA9-MXqiEmP0A | 2020-10-29 | Creative Commons

v-CUPvSt-Vw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-CUPvSt-Vw | My thoughts on AFL Round 1 2022 | good day guys welcome back to true footy for the first round review of the 2022 season uh didn't plan on making a regular video like this this year obviously i'm going to be a little bit time strapped with work uh producing content this year that i thought maybe a small round review week to week could be kind of a sustainable thing honestly i thought the opening round of this season has been really entertaining actually a pretty good standard of football that i wasn't expecting fairly high scoring as well i know that's kind of typical of round ones in the past that being said there was plenty to like i did actually get to watch a lot of football this weekend which i'm stoked about so i thought i'd come up with a little short casual video where i sort of go through each game as it happened and not really simply just sort of spew the facts about what happened more or less give you a short reaction to any talking points that i think came out of the game full disclosure if i have not watched a game i'm going to be honest with you there's going to be no i'm not going to try and give you a description of a game that i didn't watch but i figure giving a video like this a crack week to week is better than nothing so hopefully some sense gets made out of this as always guys if you're enjoying the videos i would appreciate if you could subscribe to the channel if you're getting something out of it and also consider checking out the sponsors of all of our videos mansgate.com you can get 20 off and free shipping on their products so go check out the link in the description but anyway let's just crack into it starting with the wednesday night fixture the grand final replay melbourne versus the western bulldogs i did get to watch most of this game thankfully honestly i don't know what the talking points are really out of that game i think everyone was kind of it was quite a refreshing change to see a grand final replay at the season opener it's something that people have been calling for for years and it really did give the game some extra meaning as well so as you'd expect the standard of the game was fairly high obviously it's round one and i did notice across the league there was a lot of final quarter round one fatigue i think that was pretty common across the board and it certainly did occur in the opening game of the season as well in terms of the trends of the game it did reflect the grand final quite remarkably actually the demons kicked like four of the first five goals i think then the dogs got a eight or nine point lead at half time before the demons ultimately took control of the game didn't quite run away with it to the same extent obviously only winning by about four or five goals in the end but what was similar was christian petraka having a day out i think he collected close to 40 touches it was entertaining game you can't read too much into round one but you did get the feel you were watching two very good teams once again and there's nothing to suggest melbourne aren't still the benchmark of the competition so your typical guys like mcrae was good i think he had 39 touches patrucka as i said bailey smith bobbed up for plenty of the footy as well so not really too many surprises what the biggest takeaway was melbourne notched a win in what is pretty much considered an eight-point game because you'd expect both of these sides will go deep in september carlton then played richmond a game that we live streamed so uh you got plenty of our thoughts on that particular game i said before the game that this is uh kind of a measuring stick at least for carlton these games each year see how they measure up on the best team in the comp richmond also they have been considered for the last you know best part of half a decade for the blues ultimately they would notch their first round one win over richmond in something like 10 years or something and remarkably it's their first win inside the first three rounds for almost that time frame as well other than notching the four wins i think the most pleasing elements would be patty cripps having returned the form with three goals and thirty touches if you base that and extrapolate his pre-season form it looks like he could be returning to his best which is a huge factor in carlton pushing for finals this year and then cheryl also i think he had 30 and a goal doherty was amazing on his return with 28 and a goal and hewitt was also there with 28 touches as well he might even kick the goal himself so for once it's a refreshing change for carton where they can look at any recruits and they can see immediate impact so looking back on this game this could be seen as a bit of a changing of the guard as carlton may officially be better than richmond again it's too early to say for the tigers uh they didn't really have too many strong contributors they've obviously always been a system team so it's not uncommon for you know their best players to not have too many touches but someone like cochin 14 touches with 92 minutes dusty had the most possessions on the ground with 21 and a goal and as i said that's not massively uncommon for them but one thing i did highlight pre-season was probably their depth in particular in the midfield so i know that prestige going down early didn't help but fingers crossed that he's okay but if richmond's underbelly is kind of exposed this year then they might find it tough going for a lot of this year secured then played richmond and uh this game surprised me with the quality of football to this point we'd had three games and i thought all the quality of the games were pretty good in particular collingwood at times absolutely look like a finals contender now he shouldn't make big calls after round one so i'm not gonna fall into the trap with that but preseason i did predict the pies to actually win the wooden spoon and although it's round one i feel very very confident now that i got that absolutely wrong played with a really really good intensity i think it was their pressure in particular and even looking at the best 22 of those games i looked at it and i was like on paper some kilda should be much stronger here collin were playing a very very young lineup i commented they were top-heavy their stars were fantastic but other than that carrying a lot of young guys either teenagers or not far out of their teenage years so for them to put up the team performance that they did was very very impressive now again i'm not going to make any big calls on how far they can go this year but to me they don't look anything resembling a wooden spoon team so if they have a bit of luck on the injury front and i know it's a covered year anything could happen there's a good chance there will be closer to eighth than they will 18th sinclair on the other hand uh that's a bad loss to be honest with them for a team that you know should be aiming for finals for their list position at the moment i thought they were really good in flashes had their moments but ultimately just went to sleep for large periods of the game and fought back really hard i think they got in front at one point but ultimately collingwood were the better team on the night and too good when it mattered geelong then played essendon and i must admit i didn't catch much of this game a little bit on the radio but i must say there's a little bit of satisfaction from the fact that geelong have once again just annihilated the haters i know essendon were missing players i think both sides were missing players to be fair but essendon particularly in that forward half i think lack of scoring power um was a huge blow to them in this game that being said the debut of uh is that nick martin from subiaco five goals 27 touches absolutely unreal i can't wait for all the west australian media to pick apart the eagles for not picking him up but for me the major talking point of that game really is probably the fact that geelong have once again you know flexed some muscle and i think they are very very dangerous i'm waiting to see what the goal is with jeremy cameron because that's a big out if he's injured but still a very very strong team then you had the sydney derby or whatever the hell it's called these days jws and sydney and again i thought this game was a really really high standard i watched it and it looked again like two teams that you'd expect to play finals and in fact they did play finals against each other last year but ultimately sydney got the job done i tipped that correctly i thought both sides moved the ball well uh taranto was a beast for the giants i was watching him and a very very important pillar for them sydney probably had a more even spread of contributors but i did my top 20 afl players last week and i got a comment from someone saying they couldn't believe i didn't have any swans players namely mills parker or heeny i think it was in my top 20. when i watched that i thought that's a really good point watching that game i couldn't help but kick myself luke parker is probably close to the top 10 at least players in the competition what the hell was i thinking kick five goals had 20 odd touches and he's an absolute match winner if i could do that video again i would have him a lot higher in the rankings but another eight point game in theory for the swans uh beating the giants the two sides that should in my opinion go close to the eight if not make it so don't underrate these round one wins they're very very important come the end of the year brisbane then played port on saturday night and this was a game i was hyping up as a you know potential grand final preview i think that's fair to say both of these teams seem to be in the thick of it uh but in terms of the standard it was probably one of the lowest standard games i'd watched up into that point of the round i think you have to put a bit of that down to the conditions in queensland so let's not be unfair on these two teams i'm sure they're going to be both very very good but it was hard to watch at times particularly with some of the basic skill errors executed in the last you know stage of the game some of that's fatigue some of that's the due and ultimately it was a horrible game for port adelaide from the injury standpoint i think dursman had a collar bone issue not sure what the latest it is on that but it's probably not good news but adelaide looked the better team for large periods of that game but brisbane ultimately just uh outran them in the end and had a bit more in the tank so again another eight-point game but i think from port adelaide's perspective i think they'd be relatively okay with the result considering all the injury adversity they had plus you know beating the lines at the gabriel is is tough work so i'll be interested to see how they go next week in may you know maybe better conditions playing at home but as a spectacle that game was a little underwhelming shout out to dan houston though probably got to be the best game of his career and he looked dangerous from uh beyond the arc as well he had a couple of goals as well so if he's a player that takes his game to the next level this year which you know that's a pretty good start but adelaide definitely have a lot of upside as do brisbane hawthorne north melbourne i didn't really catch too much of the sunday games unfortunately uh considering they involved my teams as well but uh i tipped hawthorne they got the job done from the looks of things sicily had a pretty good return game and uh it would have been nice to notch the four points in sam mitchell's first game as head coach i don't really have too much for you on this game because as i said didn't watch it but uh from a statistical point of view you'd be happy with uh someone like ldu bobbing up for 27 touches as well so he's a player that if he becomes consistent i think would be a future a greater the comp so all in all this game pretty much went uh how i expect it to go i don't know how much we really learned from that game second last game in the round was adelaide versus fremantle and i did my best to catch this game in flashes i was kind of following the score and obviously freeman i got out to that massive lead which evaporated in the space of a quarter so a very strange game and i don't know must have been fairly entertaining for the neutral fan certainly one of the most exciting finishes to a game i've ever seen i did manage to hop in my car and chuck on ko for the dying minutes and that last last kick with about five seconds to go that heath chapman managed to keep in play heroic effort from his perspective and agonizingly close for the crows looking at that performance though i think the crows can probably be slightly satisfied with that result they're a young team expectations are low and i know fremantle fans are buzzing right now haven't really come down from cloud9 since they uh won the first amy community game against west coast now but in all seriousness i think fremantle fans were probably a little bit flat uh you know to concede the way they did in that third term would be a little bit of a question mark but ultimately they had a few injuries fife mundi and sean darcy arguably three the more important players so to get the four points i think they can just sort of shake that one off and uh and move on but what a debut from joshua shelly i didn't catch all of the game like i said to keep five goals in that fashion uh we've got a serious player on our hands finally final game of the round unfortunately couldn't be in attendance to west coast versus gold coast um this is a game where you know the the injury issues are well documented at west coast so i did tip us in my predictions video at the start of the week but i think at that point i expected chewie to play i think i was hoping kelly would play and i didn't even know about liam ryan so with those three out i did quickly change my tip for the gold coast sons and honestly to to only lose by four goals and honestly the score kind of blew out in the last five minutes or so there's a bit to like about it i actually thought from what i saw and i probably caught about a quarter and a half of the game all up watched the highlights read some analysis there's a bit of spunk about this eagles team i know that's such an absurd observation to make after you know our first ever loss at home to the gold coast suns but i think it was like 12 of our best day dain were out um five of us starting eight midfielders were out so there was fears this game could get really ugly but what i'm looking for is system approach aggression um and the way they took the game on and plenty to like so i'm actually pretty satisfied with that and going into next round with a few key ins i gotta give us a chance i thought we played pretty well ball movement was solid the skills were good um and the tenacity was there but i think when i was watching in the second term when we got a few goals i was looking in the boy's hair was all sopping wet they looked absolutely gassed and i was pretty confident then there was no way we're gonna run out four quarters so if it was close in the last term i knew the gold coast sons would run away and that's exactly what happened not to make it all about the eagles though uh from a gold coast perspective they have their own injury woes particularly in the forward half with ben king not available i think there was a big question mark about how they were going to score goals i kind of felt that the young midfield was going to bully the eagles and you know rau had a really good game took miller was inspirational isaac ranking four goals 23 touches there's a lot to like about that gold coast side i knew they were going to be dangerous early in the season as well and ultimately just had a bit more run and i think it's fair to say just have arguably a more you know hardened and experienced side particularly in that midfield even though they're just about 21 year olds a couple of number two draft picks in that team and number one draft pick and i think took miller himself was a first round draft pick not that long ago not surprised at all and i don't want to write off this gold coast victory as meaningless it was certainly a good performance from them for them the test now would be carrying their early season form later in the year so they're still a wait and see for me but all in all i think both teams walk away from that fairly satisfied all right guys that was my crack at a round one wrap let me know in the comments uh what you agree with what you disagree with maybe fill in some blanks what were some takeaways from this round that you think i missed or you know especially from the games that i blatantly didn't watch but as always guys i appreciate the support i hope you're enjoying the content and uh yeah subscribe to the channel and i'll see in the next one cheers | True Footy |

Prince Taylor Prince is sharing their learnings and insights from delivering projects on leadership and success asking big questions about leadership what is it leadership leaders sorry I messed up your question sorry leaders who are they great questions Prince everyone you're in for a treat over to you all right thank you man [Applause] um thank you for that that's a really nice intro man uh yeah yeah um yeah firstly I just want to say thank you all for coming through to listen to me talk uh I don't intend to spend most of the time talking this uh this afternoon actually I'm more interested in us having a bit of a conversation um so that flies for you lot watching at home as well um I'm gonna share some stuff and I'll welcome skepticism I welcome a couple of like can I swear absolute crap because that's the whole point um oh that's what I understand Collective and Equitable leadership to be right it's um a fundamental of it is generative conflict which is a really fascinating idea um not one that I've gotten a hang of yet uh which is what makes it really exciting but um I sort of just intend to model some of the processes and things that I've learned in this like weird Journey uh with you lot in the room and at home um so it is quite literally an open space it is more of a lunchtime chat than a lunchtime talk if you know what I'm saying um so and not in that sort of like respect I will be sharing some ideas I'll be sharing some like a bit of backstory um and then we're gonna play a little game effectively because I love games yeah people who know me no I love games man um so the first thing I want to ask is who here considers themselves to be a leader go on Man chalk him up come on we've got one two three four five six I was I was like seven out seven I wanna say nine yeah because I know there's people who wanted to put their hands up but they didn't yeah I amazing um ask me did we get any any leaders from from online 22nd delay all right that's that's cool man we can we can move with that uh and I'm just looking at notes on here as well um so don't worry I'm not like there's no football today in it but I'm not checking scores and I lost no one last night so I'm happy um all right cool would anyone like to share some of their ideas or characteristics of leadership of us um and do you want me to run around with them thank you no thank you my friend um yeah ma'am characteristics of leadership so a characteristic I would say is demonstration so I think it's leading biostample would be one of them banging the ability to change your mind confidence confidence skills and abilities yeah other skills and abilities helping other people achieve their ambitions love that [Music] um from Scala online listening holding a deep understanding of others and lived experience hmm I ain't sick yeah yeah please like I want I got uh to make other people feel like they can lead [Music] courage [Music] patience hey more courage and patience um yeah I mean like generally like fantastic responses to to that question it's an interesting thing right like because it's so vast effectively what people sort of what pillars people land on where they ground themselves when it comes to this idea of leadership right so it's it's um what I've come to understand is that it's a fascinating thing and I'll never get the same answers every single time I ask that question um Okay cool so we've spoken about some of the characteristics it'd be interesting to hear from people what they think happens when leaders get together any ideas on that [Music] actually there are going to be some great questions an echo chamber oh damn son crying okay I best answer to be yeah that's actually most on plane um the sound of two chart pieces of metal clanging against each other yeah oh yeah I I was wondering whether they could sort of breathe because they can let their God leadership guard down for a little bit um [Music] all right sweet um got one got one yeah of course please man I think sometimes Lots can happen but also sometimes nothing can happen love that [Music] how are we how are we getting on online nothing yeah uh yeah just like Chuck your hands off and if anything else comes to mind sometimes they consolidate power consolidate power oh as a non-leader I think sometimes much sometimes yeah [Music] fascinating man I love that again what's great is that um in sort of hearing the responses and the sort of breadth of those responses as well uh people in this room have been really present over the last couple of years despite what that may have felt like for us individually and collectively right um we're really perceptive we pick up on a lot of stuff knowingly and unknowingly so sometimes when these archetypal ideas are presented to us depending on what energy we're carrying at that moment in time or how we're perceiving the world and ourselves importantly we go to we jump to the nearest example of that archetype that's like really at the front of our conscience right but effectively When leaders get together all of that stuff happens right it is a crying shitstorm but it's a beautiful thing in the same breath as well um so yeah thank you for humor and me in sort of starting this conversation at that point just want to give you a little bit of a back story because I always feel a little bit conscious like who am I to be standing up here talking about Equitable leadership or trying to generate a conversation about Equitable leadership man like when you say that stuff out when I choose to say that stuff out loud The Imposter Syndrome guy it's just like really you um and I'm like yeah really me uh and the like through what I'm gonna share I think hopefully will give you some context as to why I believe I can stand up here and and chat about Equitable leadership so rewind back in West Philadelphia um yeah so I study film at University of Wester England graduated from a really like 50 50 in terms of weight in it was like 50 practical fifty percent really theoretical um and I was one of like three people who actually enjoyed that part of course so unfortunately for UE like that course was actually scrapped two years after I graduated which was a shame um I think people did that thing of when they're 18 years old of not thinking they know what they want and making a decision and then realizing that oh damn I don't want this but not changing their mind there we go um and yeah going through with it and then at the end of it thinking like why did I do that however I was just like that's the greatest thing I've ever done um needless to say I spent the next two and a half years like applying for jobs in the film industry in the region I couldn't get a job so I decided to move into retail uh something I was quite familiar with and ended up sort of saying to myself I'm going to take this opportunity to learn what it means to run a reputable business uh working for a very successful company um and ended up becoming a manager of the store and was like oh yeah sick like this is dope it was a very very challenging period of time um and one sort of like I reached management this whole thing started to happen when I realized I didn't like who I was working for um I just said that and it's been gonna be stored on YouTube in it I like the people I didn't like the company um and that was a very difficult thing because effectively Bristol has a very clear identity uh about community and about and how it chooses to go about and and acting on that uh and making that tangible however the ethos and the premise of the organization the way it was run ran in complete polar opposite direction to the city like the shop was in so I had a decision to make a decision I didn't know I was making at the time if I'm going to be perfectly honest with you but something I chose to do which was to prioritize the needs of my staff and of the Shoppers over the profits of the organization um and that was a heck of a ride effectively um but I want to share that with you a lot because once I got to management I immediately knew that I'd achieved a goal I knew I was like okay cool we've achieved this right this is sort of like your post grad a six-year post-grad but I was I was like all right cool bun now I've got to think of an exit strategy and what does that exit strategy look like um and in that process of stepping down I chose to empower my team effectively um and ensure that about 80 percent of the team working in that store had management credentials effectively um and that made me feel like I could step down with some sort of safety ensuring that the organization would still have uh it's very reputable store um in a cultural Hub in in the region in the UK and that loads of opportunities have been generated for people who thought they were just coming in to sell trainers effectively um and I'm quite I can stand here quite proudly and say that as a result of that decision I didn't realize I was making I guess a bit of intuition uh that organization gained six store managers out of that one store which is something that I guess I haven't seen or heard of since again like I didn't know that's what I was doing but I felt like the right thing to do um so Mission completed tick what's next working in the culture sector right my whole thing was like okay boom I don't want anyone to feel how I felt when I graduated so I started looking for opportunities and sort of joined a PM Studio as a resident and was given opportunities as well to take risks actually and start to understand what it means for me to practice that way in a sector that I want to work in for myself and develop my own style with that um and through that effectively The Snowball Effect of that was being given an opportunity to co-lead on a transforming leadership project um at the same time more like intimately with being a research fellow on sort of what was the predecessor to my world a digital Place making Bristol and bath creative clusters program on the digital Place making Pathfinder so a series of research fellows were sort of charged with China explore and understand what it means for people to be able to interact with physical spaces but digitally and how do you do that equitably how does everyone's voice sort of have some agency and how does everyone's thought process or opinions or experience lived experience how can that sort of filter through the sort of um sort of like digital corporeal net I suppose um very techy man it took us like six months to understand what digital Place making meant so I'm not gonna lie I feel quite impressed but I've been able to say that um but yeah it got my brain I was just like cogs are turning so effectively you start questioning everything um and to sort of put that in the frame of bring back into the frameless whole thing of like a co-leading co-leading on a leadership program as well uh I actually wasn't going to go for the job I didn't think I was good enough for it an incredible woman called Rosanna Diaz was just like I want to do the job but I can't do it on my own I'd love to do it with you and I was like oh yeah I love you too man I'd love to do it with you that's fantastic and then we ended up getting a job like leap of faith I guess for us and the organization but um it got me to where I am right now effectively um and sort of you start a leadership program in January 2020 and then March 2020 hits and you're like I've got we've got to hold this leadership program um and that's when the storms the crying the nothing the magic that's when it all started to happen right and it doesn't it didn't feel like it made any sense at the time if I'm going to be perfectly honest with you uh but you knew that something was happening in this space um and foreign was focused purely on youth leadership and developing sort of non-traditional approaches to leadership for people with protective characteristics and from underrepresented communities um by and large a great deal of responsibility and sort of like a project that I'm like super proud of um and I believe like the organization are super proud of as well and everyone's gone on to do incredible things and in that in that sort of like space where I genuinely thought I was fumble in the bag if I'm going to be honest with you I like the best thing I could do was put one foot in front of the other I was approached by another leadership program to Mentor on this and I was like what do you see in me and he was like what do they see in you um and but I was just like yeah this is sick you know what I'm saying amplify I'm one represented people I'm here for it man I want to take this Challenge on as well um and I'll tell you what the biggest takeaway from co-leading or leading or supporting a leadership program is people are going to do what they want actually and that can be a horrible thing where you feel like your success or the signifiers and markers of your success depends on people doing what we believe they're supposed to do which is yeah wild but that's that's the biggest takeaway that I I've gotten from that journey and that work that I did so that's sort of um brings us up to 2022 like where we are now um and this idea of Equitable leadership has been sort of now it's become like front and center of everything that I do but if someone was to ask me how do you do Equitable leadership my answer would be a question and the question would be about what context are you intending to imply a Global Leadership in right because my way of doing it or the context that I did it in um it wouldn't be fair for us to set an expectation of you getting the same results applying the same methodology that I applied so that immediately blows blows this whole idea of leadership let alone Equitable leadership Out of Water right the reason I chose to ask loads of questions at the beginning of this chat is because I wanted to know what room I'm in firstly and I can't know what room I'm in without hearing your voices first and foremost so I will rarely ever start a talk or a keynote like my introduction about myself will always come after hearing your voices to some extent I need to I need to feel who's in the room first and foremost and there's a few people here that I've collaborated with who sort of have experienced it for themselves beforehand um and it's in terms of Equitable leadership um and the gentleman over there spoke about sort of like helping people and and sort of like allowing people I struggle with the word enabling um but it's only what I have now so for the sake of your time I'm going to use it um enabling people to sort of like explore their edges I want to use that term as well and and sort of create a holistic approach to growth um so sort of with all of that regarding like this idea of Equitable leadership what I would like to do with everyone in the room today is play a little game yeah we're just going to chop it up chat shoot this shoot chat stuff uh and um yeah just just like it requires a little bit of suspension and disbelief like it's about playing along really and if you don't want to that's hunky-dory you know what I'm saying just whisper your idea or something to the person next to you and then we'll move on um so this game is called base camp yeah baby um and it's a it's a bit of a story and again I just like you lot to step into the story and act out whatever comes naturally to you um so we all live in a little village at the foot of a mountain and the little old me I'm preparing to climb the mountain uh up in China about it for months now like you are pretty much bored of listening to me talk about climbing this mountain but you've witnessed my I guess my dedication to this task that I'm taking on um I leave on Monday it's Friday today and I leave on Monday uh some of you are sort of like thinking about okay cool like this idea of like okay cool he he leaves on Monday like what's coming up we know that there's a sort of like leaving party happening on a Sunday [Music] um and I've gotten myself sort of like physically ready but I'm super disorganized actually um it's gonna the trip is going to take me about six days to get up there and it's going to take me about the same amount of time to get down um and sort of like you are beginning to experience with me or witness that sort of the size of the task at hand is now starting to become a bit of a distraction so I'm more unorganized than I normally am uh so key things here are I'm about to climb a mountain we all live in this Village at the bottom of the mountain there's going to be a party on Sunday I leave on Monday it takes me six days to get up and around the same amount of time to get back and I just want to know from you Lord what leaps are you like you want to get involved you want to help in some way shape or form because you see me flailing um and I want to know where your mind distinctively goes if you are going to give me help if you're going to give me advice I just want to know where your mind distinctively goes I guess I'll give you a couple of minutes to think about it if anyone's got any media answer please fire away answer there's been some feedback online that people need to hold the microphone directly in front of their Mouse when they speak because they're having a hard time hearing anyone but Prince [Music] okay thank you I've got I've got a question from Scarlett Okay so we've got we've got a question and I've got a question from Scarlett online who says do you have to go alone I see you Scarlett um do I have to go a lot yes do you have enough food great question great question does the village have internet connection let's have internet connection okay cool I'll just cut up yeah could you build on that yeah it's just how Google like climbers packing list and just send it to you sick foreign I wasn't going to Google a list but I was definitely going to ask you if I could write one with you oh okay on the list nice we've got clay at the back as well what's the worst thing that can happen if we don't do anything I won't um try and find out if you how stressed out you are and if you're not then I would love to ask questions like why do you want to go up there what moves you to go up there I would just first find out if you're prepared to listen if not then I would keep the questions for myself it's gonna be a long six days way when I get back [Music] oh look at the configuration is it no no right yeah because it depends on that a little bit build on it build on that please in terms of how much permission we felt sort of stepping and hold process with you yeah I don't know yeah great for if you're um preparing to climb the mountain who's organizing the party what are you going to do at the top of the mountain and at the bottom yeah I I wasn't getting the impression they ready they're very calm um it might not be that you know it's not a safe place to go on your own necessarily so like it's good to be prepared okay okay some wow yeah some great ideas some great thoughts some great questions um most of those questions I can't answer uh but to hear those questions helps me paint a better picture of the journey that I'm about to go on and I just want to ask everybody as well like how invested are you in that Journey as well like I guess I guess that's like really invested that's like ah not really and that's like I couldn't care just like give me thumbs up or Midway or down yes interesting that's just beautiful man that's just beautiful like and so the reason the reason I'm sort of like asking that question as well is because as I understand Equitable leadership if I succeed in that Journey we've all succeeded if I fail in that Journey we've all failed you see what I'm saying so it's like my what I've come to learn from sort of like the models that I've used and the methods that I've been sort of shared with me with regards to trying to practice Equitable leadership authentically is that all of those sort of approaches thoughts questions um invest like levels of investment need to exist for that story to be written right the wonderful thing about that example was that it was one really clear common goal it was mine chat to me say that we could argue with you yeah yeah so maybe but wouldn't we all go up the mountain if that was true why are you going up the mountain on your own is that Equitable leadership because I chose to I I didn't I didn't ask anybody to sort of like come up the mountain no well if you all go up the mountain The Village will fail won't it so so this is please yeah I definitely feel the threat of of it being a failure on us if something happens to you yeah yeah so it does yeah you have you have made it an imperative for us to help you prepare in a way and to check you going out yeah yeah so if I'm hearing you um what I am getting what I'm saying is that as important as that individual is the ground and my question would have been who's responsible to get that crowd committed with you it's your you know the leader responsibility to gain the crowds um what the word what's the word you said um not uh investment investment yeah get them invested yeah or how does that happen because yeah hear what she said about she she's as a crowd invested where does that come from and and half of us were like um so why is it because is it beneficial for us so because I know there's a benefit for me that you'll get up there so maybe I'll be a lot of more invested if I knew what the benefit was for yeah yeah yeah and so this is like no then it just it's your thing if it's not really going to uh affect my life and my Village Life yeah it's your problem mate yeah see what I mean one 100 100 um and sorry yes please no it's okay I I'll listen to what you've got to say first yeah I mean yeah um do you know what yeah let me spend let me spend a second on this on on this idea because like I guess from the models of like um Collective leadership and Equitable leadership that I've been sort of like exposed to and developing and uh sort of practicing myself um it all at the beginning when I said the thing that I've learned the most is people are going to do what they want like I can't pretend to as an individual as part of this community unless I've clearly communicated whatever it is I need to communicate to you I can't pretend or assume that you're actually going to be invested however from in terms of my language how I choose to understand um my position within this um community that becomes part of the story I tell myself that I'm I'm effectively doing this for me right there's something in this for me and on that Journey that I go on hopefully at the end of it I will know myself better to be able to come back to the community and be more of myself as a sort of like superhero I'm gonna be really crass and reductive but superhero sort of narrative Arc right however my responsibility and action that I take and the choice that I make it stands with me alone I can only act in the faith that in some way will form it contributes to everybody's sort of like experience of that moment in time or relationships with each other does that does that sort of like step into that conversation a little bit better yeah of course of course I mean it's a shame we've only got an hour because the last period of times we did this we had two years you know what I mean so I'm trying to like condense it but I I needed to hear those challenges yeah yeah so I'm glad you I I heard you say that because I would have wanted to have that conversation with you to hear you say that but I'm I'm I'm on board with you going and helping you go I don't mind what happens when you get there and if you come back down I hope you bring something back down with you that's valuable to all of us which is why I'm okay with supporting you going and it's not it isn't about a return on on that investment that's guaranteed is that it's important for me to hear you tell me that it's important for you to go and when you get there that there'll be something for you yeah and I'm happy to support that I think that's yeah so having heard that you've answered my question before I asked him oh mad Magic magic sorry someone said earlier yeah kind of following on from that like you want to climb a mountain but like I want to go swim in a Ravine and like Sally from The Village wants to build a rocket ship and go to space and I want all of us to do all the things that we want to do but somebody also needs to be in the village like you know looking after the sheep or whatever so I guess I'm like invested in all of our Journeys as long as they're we're not all away from I don't know why I said the Sheep but the sheep for too long so like I guess it's about I'm invested and I support you and I want to go you to go up the mountain but as long as Sally still gets to build her rocket ship or there's tight we put some time aside yeah yeah that makes sense yeah yeah yeah I hear that I hear that oh we've got asthma at the back online and then yeah I've got I've got a few online um so just a comment from Scarlett saying empathy and Collective care um and also a counter argument saying but should it be seen as an investment or he can't um or he can't just go because he needs to um Duncan says can then be more than one leader in this story um I.E is leadership inherently singular this is fantastic man um Joe I I guess whilst the max coming over what one of the Most Fascinating sort of like for me to stand here and sort of work through this with you lot is the idea keeps coming up that I'm a leader which I'm just a member of the community do you see what I'm saying which is which is what makes our approach to leadership and therefore Equitable leadership and Collective leadership really interesting because I I in the story I didn't claim to have any Authority or power or Dominion the significance about that story was my choice and exercising a will of mine right and and the story I have told myself in order to get me literally over that Hill right um so yeah sorry that's that's sort I wanted to throw that in there right now but I would love to hear what you want to say um um because I I'm nervous that you're taking a journey um that you seem unprepared for and how you've thought about your responsibility to us yeah so that is a phenomenal question and I'm going to come back to that idea of um people do what they want again it's like it it feels like a get out of jail cut right um and I just just going to use one of the leadership programs as a bit of an anecdote for that uh we were just developing sort of like we just uh what's the word sent out the program so the people we were delivering this Pro uh sort of like course program too and everything had been mapped out and then we were put into lockdown and the world just goes like that so then we had to start we had to like really adapt um and we got off on not the best footing admittedly because as co-producers we were taking responsibility and sort of like holding the failure of people's lack of Engagement we we made it awful we made it our problem effectively and that began to really influence the I want to use the word severity in our tone when we were trying to communicate with people right we were really aware of the fact that this crisis was affecting people in numerous different ways and not being able to see the wood from the trees was a theme that kept coming up in all of our in all of our conversations it took us about four months out of a year-long program it took us about four months to actually understand that that where we were was exactly where we were supposed to be and people's level of Engagement was exactly as it was supposed to be we then had to return to our stakeholders and our funders and see actually we've been trying to work to this evaluative structure that you've brought to us and it is creating more damage than good we're supposed to be empowering people but we're still having to try and talk about them as statistics and at that point we made the decision to let go I did say and a Cheesy self-help line um but that was effectively what empowered the program to gain momentum again when the fact that the door was open and people could choose whether or not they could they showed up and choose what capacity they would show up in started to engage people more and for us that was a really sort of like in terms of what we'd understood about the program we were delivering that was counter-intuitive effectively um another point in that in that sort of space as well is we had designed a program in which we had tried to sort of like simulate like Partnerships and bodies and relationships just to sort of spot that and get that spot going um and again we saw that as a tool that could be super effective given the fact that everybody was living in isolation now so let's try and create these pockets of time these opportunities for people to connect and when you turn on Zoom and you're the only one connecting with yourself as as proper embarrassing do you know what I'm saying but again it was necessary because those people chose to rest in whatever way they choose to rest what we what we gained from that sort of like like horrible horrible experience well we gained from that horrible experience was Trust effectively because the people who had come onto the course had a common goal they wanted to explore what leadership meant for them and they knew that they wanted to debunk the myths right that was the goal um we didn't know we knew how we wanted to facilitate that we knew how we wanted to create an environment for that to happen we had set up like pinch points where we could experiment with stuff uh set up opportunities with different organizations where we could then sort of broker relationships and start to push this these ideas out into the sector but in that context we had to trust that people were going to do what was right for them and in part of the program as well after like quite a lot of negotiation with the stakeholder we actually wrote in a back-end evaluation period so it was it was meant to be delivery for two years evaluation for a year and that's the end of it our evaluation for this project finishes in 2026 right because in in that reshuffle we had to we had to appreciate the fact that this was a much bigger project than we had anticipated and it's quite impossible to gain the sort of like glances and the landscape of which these individuals are now operating in the sector actually quite difficult to sort of like try and quantify that without them having gone off and applied whatever it is they picked up from the program for themselves again like one of the things that we can like really gladly say is that pretty much like everyone on that program has gone on to work in some level of influence within mostly SME organizations um but these young people are on boards they're on committees they're in sort of they're having in meetings of governance and strategy um again we knew that's what we wanted but we didn't know that us sort of like one of again the big things that came up in our moments of reflection as an organization was this idea of shift in Sands those four months every time we thought we'd find some grounding the ground moved from beneath you like in terms of the real world but in terms of the program as well and it's that trust that I'm I'm going to take this step and I'm going to take this step in good faith and hopefully I've been authentic enough for myself for people to be able to see that a single faith and that is a reflection of I'm taking a step as a reflection of sort of like my investment or commitment to this idea to this goal and what it could represent um for us as a sort of like community so in again to come back come back to the question and I'm trying to like touch loads of little points that were raised as well um in coming back to what I've understood us to have gained in practicing Equitable leadership are we right for time yeah okay cool and what I understood us to have gained in terms of practicing Equitable leadership again like the reason I asked for you to go to where your mind instinctively goes is because that's your intuition at the end of the day you're going to do and think what you want to do and think given who you are at this moment in time and what I tried to do was relinquish any power I had from that situation however because of the Optics it was it was offered to me and that's part of the interesting thing about Equitable leadership because someone has to stand in front at some point because of their skill set right are saying to Tony that I'm like actually like and Bricks today we already had one yeah oh yeah we did okay cool yeah um like I had a meeting before and someone was like you speak really well and I was like I don't he was like no he doesn't um and uh I've been led to understand and I know beginning to learn of myself that I have an ability to speak to people uh individually and in a group so that is when I was thinking about this talk and thinking about how I could model Equitable leadership I thought what is my skill set it's the ability to hold conversation to try and listen as well as I can to people to try and reflect what I'm hearing from them back at them and that is my skill set that's one of that's what like what I've come to be known for in my work and that was my intuition and I tried to fight it I thought to myself you know what let me make a fancy something like that I even said to Jack I was like you know what I'm just going to put on a screensaver or something so if they tune out they've got something to look at but I was like no but that's not fair on me because my work and my practice is about these moments of as I said generative conflict right like leadership is about sort of as I understand it it's about building a relationship with a figural edge what I feel sorry for about our leaderships in the world are our leaders in the world at the moment is that the authenticity required to build relationships with your constituents or whoever is voting for you um the ability to do that is I I don't see any evidence of it actually most of the leaders of like our modern Western Society and those are the Architects we have to aim for however what we model today was the reality of leadership it was intuition it was moving with the knowledge that you have your perception of the world and present in that having the got to present that in a room full of other people and allowing those things to meet in Conflict but at the end of the day saying what there's a common goal we still want this guy to climb the mountain so so what does it mean like oh don't remember that Sally wants to build a rocket don't forget don't forget Sally wants to build a rocket as well so you best come back in 12 days because you're going to be helping Sally build the rocket you know that's motivation that's what that's what I was trying to get at when I was saying that it was something that I've chosen to do for myself and I hope that I can do it to represent you lot and that you lot gain something from it when I come back I'll be the version of myself I need to be in order to be able to contribute to what everybody else wants to do so leadership has this weird thing of like again as my researchers and workers sort of like shown me is that it's creating helping to create contribute into creation of an the creation of an environment where people can explore those things for themselves and bring the challenges to the space without being judged effectively and there is no one-size-fits-all is actually about our ability to sit in moments of conflict and discomfort and allow them to exist in that moment in time but to have its value and purpose attached to a common goal does that make sense because I don't have I haven't figured it out that's just where my research has got me now you see what I'm saying um but like I said more questions or Tony here and here I'm just going to go first my apologies um that's all right so my name my first name is Prince I've been known as will for like the last 30 years of my life in the last year I tried to take my first name back and it's this awkward thing I I didn't go by the name Prince because growing up as Prince Will in the 1990s was boring right and now I get cool prints or will and Prince Will all the time so that's that's that's what it is that's the fact thank you very much it's really interesting you've talked all the way through this about leadership but you haven't mentioned power as part of your discussion of leadership right and it got me thinking you're going up this mountain and you've mentioned that you might not be a leader yeah but it gets me to thinking that um all of these other things that Sally's got and everybody else has got there's got to be somebody that holds power in the village and you keep mentioning as well that people do what they want actually there's edges on that like in my role here I've got a whole bunch of creative freedom but I can just go and blow on my budget on an ice cream van because I fancied it right there are actually edges to what I can and can't do because there's power in leadership as well you do have in leadership there is telling people what to do a little bit um and actually if at that time in the village it wasn't the appropriate time for you to go off on a self-discovery voyage up a mountain yeah because actually what's your job in the village what is what's your remit in the village um which goes back to what Joe was saying around what is your responsibility to the rest of the people in the village so I don't know I guess yeah what power and Leadership and compelling people to do what you want or what they need to do not what you want them to do necessarily um when you talk about power and telling people what to do it makes me think that um it brings up the idea of time and then within a time frame which is a you know we all lived time frames but if you're trying to influence somebody um then it might be Beyond a time frame it might be a you know it might take some time to do that so it might not be about telling people but you know um inspiring people or motivating people Beyond a time a specific time frame and let them come to that can I can I add to that just quickly before we move on to your thought um again like as as I've learned and from the experiences that I've been sort of like privileged to have we do this thing of conflating management with leadership as well delegation and accountability are necessary in in terms of that idea of doing what they doing what they want I was framing that in a context of what people intuitively lean towards right like if I I know you and I know your skill set if there's something if there's a project that we're working on I will come to Tony for his skill set because I know that's where you intuitively find more joy in your contribution um I will never come to you and ask you to do something I we both know you're incapable of doing um so in in that respect that accountability occurs in which case it's that process of being clear about expectations from the beginning and where this like gray area for growth or gray area for exploration in that finding stuff out as we go along um I'm not saying that nobody should be in charge but what I'm finding more interesting in the work that I do is when when we know what someone's power is like the collective effort of enabling that and you just put me onto this which is like so ironic because one of the things we've done at cargo is we had a look at the words education like we cargo is an organization and we make black history resources for primary schools and secondary schools and we make them interactively as well so they exist online on a HTML page so you don't once you click onto it you don't need to constantly refresh teachers don't have to be in the same room as the student to learn teachers get to learn alongside the student as well because we understand that teachers are quiet time poor and fearful of delivering like bad education to people especially with stuff they're not comfortable with so we were looking at education and there's two root words to education in Latin it's EduCare which is to stand in front of people and tell them what to do in this EduCare or EduCare I can't remember how it said but that is to stand in front of people and ask them questions about what they want to do in creating an environment that they can leads on whichever line of Inquisition they want and our entire Western Society is built on EduCare I'm going to stand here and tell you what to do whereas what cargo is trying to do is move into that space of saying here's something that's really cool and intuitive um have a have fun with it and and see what comes up next um and yeah there are responsibilities and accountability that comes with that but we're trying new stuff if I'm gonna put it put it shortly sorry I spoke for much longer than I wanted to we've got just under five minutes left for any questions so anybody online do pop your questions in um any hands up in the room and I'll come over there's one here Tony remember to speak into the mic everybody politely I just wanted to say that for sure you have the ability to engage people and create a group which you did just now but I just wanted to say that you were talking about context but you didn't give us a context of that Village what is our history what that mind thing signifies for us have how often other people go to that mountain you know and of course like I imagine you because the way you are as someone lovable in the community so you could already have and the people kind of investing in you for no reason which is perfect and it's not transactional in the same way that what are you going to bring for us your community was a nice Community but I think it is very important to understand this question that you're asking in relation to the history of that place and what you signifying that so all of this or the Western model or what leadership the problem is it's very abstract and because the system in the western system is based on abstraction and then you know everybody has to understand themselves in abstraction okay you know is are you is this mountain famous because of is it because we can find a flower that give us eternal life is it because we like to hear your stories or we just you know think it's good for him finally he's doing something so I think that way then there can be movement for us as a community that we all become leadership or the be a politicizer to go to Mountain and move the mountain together which is happen so without that historical either but then who is leader you know sure you know what you're the last person I'll speak to before I leave that's it that's but no again like all of those thoughts that's what has made that's what's actually driven my passion about this work I didn't realize this is what I wanted to do until I started this year effectively um I've been practicing and I'm still practicing um but my favorite thing about this work as I I think it was in my bio is just creating moments like these and sort of modeling what it means to step out in faith and hoping that it leaves something behind for somebody else you know just to show up as themselves basically but yeah there's so much in there that I couldn't even answer all I know is that when I'm about to climb you're a person I'm calling yeah we might have to leave it there I'm so sorry I feel like we're going for ages Prince Taylor everybody thank you so much princess amazing um if you want to stick around in hotdest today or find out more about what we do then please come

SJAK4qcZ1sE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJAK4qcZ1sE | Why it's important to recognize each other's gifts. | so that the the the gift is one of my fundamental lenses through which I understand the world and through which I understand human beings so I can look at you Paul and I can shift my attention and see you as a bearer of sacred gifts the more I immerse myself in that perception the more I invoke those gifts because many of us go through life never really being seen that way and it's not because our fellow companions here are malicious or bad or ignorant but we live in a system that blinds us to each other's True Divine Nature so when somebody actually sees you and you have that feeling of being seen in your divinity that is a powerful call to step into that divinity and in that moment you don't need any kind of willpower you don't need any kind of shaming you don't need any kind of bribery to become Who You Are because you're held in that reality that is how we can that's what we can do for each other and to even recognize with some gentleness that this is not something to like fulfill your potential to break through the glass ceiling that's not something that you can or have to achieve through your own willpower we are inter beings and our becoming is a function of relationship so yeah like we can accept help and accept that we are not alone here and it's not all up to each one of us individually and there's more Paradox underneath that it's not like you do nothing but your capacity your your will your discipline even is called into action by the way that others see us like where does courage come from where does kindness come from I personally find it I find myself being a lot braver when people are seeing me as Brave I find myself a lot Kinder when people are seeing me as kind this is the collective story that we can hold for the world and the more intently that we hold that story the more the world steps into that and makes it real beautiful very inspiring so how do we how do we help encourage each other to be able to offer that to another human being I mean as you were saying earlier this is something Ben does naturally that's why the film's a success he he he knows and sees you any of this allowed that all to pour out of you and he structured the film and so forth so that that those gifts are there to be seen and then we're all sharing those skills how how do we help each other do that for each other in a day-to-day basis yeah so this is a how question you're asking but it's but the real question is not a how question it's it's sometimes when we say how do I how do I how do I that is like this screen over top your knowledge that you you already know how you already know what you do and so what I really hear and how do I do this for others how do I encourage them is a yearning to be that and to do that and so I would give attention to the sincerity of that of that wanted like your your generosity your kindness your good will toward your fellow human being that in itself is the invitation is the encouragement that you're asking about and as you own that you will find yourself acting from that with great skill in situations where no one even told you how yeah yeah so like don't make it hard | Charles Eisenstein | UCefMV4uVMfUKpFEg4fY8PKQ | 2022-10-29 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 620 | 3,149 |

tDmwaNl2sdg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDmwaNl2sdg | Dart Burst - Printing Hello World! In Main Method | This is Dart Burst - How to create a main method to print out "Hello World" in Dart. So, first things first, we need to specify the return type of our method. In this case `void` because our main method is not returning anything, then the name of our method - main. Next, parentheses where we can specify arguments if we need to, in this case we don't. Then, since this is a block function we need squiggly brackets. Then in our squiggly brackets we can put our code, in this case, we can use Dart's built in `print` function to print to the console. Then we can pass in any object, in this case - a String saying "Hello World!". Then [finally] a semicolon to close it off! Run it and we can see we print out "Hello World!" to the console.

Schmidt in the uh in the description down below it's where you're gonna find the uh the links for them but yeah let's just let's just let's just get right into it man shout out to moxie for putting it at the beginning uh if anyone doesn't know about glamora it has toxic debris when it's hit by a physical attack it will put up toxic spikes which is obviously a singles ability but this is where we build funny stuff so we're gonna use it in doubles today yeah and I mean the passive thing is like the really big thing like obviously when like um when Cleaver gets added to the game and you're able to use Stone ax and like attack and set up rocks that actually or sorry Stone ax that's actually gonna make rocks somewhat viable uh because it's not a commitment to get it up you know like it's a passive thing yeah I was gonna say like that's that's why we haven't used it in doubles right because you have to commit a turn to it and you might not even get anything out of it but like when they're activating automatically they could be really good yeah yeah there was also um last gen obviously Max move uh gmax Stone surge I think had it been replacing Type move uh you know keeping Dreadnought Swift so I'm active and still allow and get this out of rocks I think that would have Loki been kind of good yeah I think it was it was just the fact that like it was just the fact that it like didn't keep up uh was it called the rain yeah like that was the big thing yeah let's let's uh let's see what we can do I mean like do we want to run a hex user if we're mostly gonna have like poison does glamora get hex I don't think so I feel like it's it's something okay but you gotta check you know you gotta check I mean I guess for glamora let's run Stealth Rock let's just do it let's just do it man uh do you wanna do like sashical Mora yeah I think that's fine it's probably gonna be the safest yeah oh it gets spiky Shield I didn't know that I would say we should run protect them to protect our sash yeah so we can do like uh stealth rocks uh sludge bomb spiky Shield power jump does it get power gym yeah okay so yeah let's just make it like a ticket yeah just make it fast and it's really hard actually yeah um I mean for what we're going up against let me look at popular real quick I mean we're gonna get like one shot by Golden go unless we change our type but even though we don't hit it back with our current move set so I'm thinking maybe we just focus on hitting like other things like I don't know what's good is it does well into arm Rouge no matter what because it's either going to be Terra um fire or terrorists yeah it's one or the other so like we're fine with that uh what do you think the terror types probably best as we could try maybe flying um just to like wall out Garchomp a little bit better yeah well I guess most garage run rock slide but I guess it wastes a turn it does and also I mean it doesn't have bad bulk though you know 83.90 yeah and I I mean I know you want to run the Stealth Rock so we can keep it but like it doesn't get any fairy tight moves I think it gets like dazzling yeah [Music] uh you know we could do Terra fairy actually we could do like Terra Ferry and I don't think dual steps that necessary I think maybe we drop power jump for dazzling gleam I was thinking SpongeBob yeah what are we hitting right uh Sylveon that might is probably the only one well there are a decent amount of things we want to hit with sludge bomb meowskarata Terra armor Rouge um garganicle tends to go Terra grass uh what else goes Tara grass and also just like the possibility to poison is super nice like as far as the rock moves go we actually hit Less in this four bet for some reason because Golden Goat doesn't care Garchomp doesn't care yeah hydrogantara steals annihilip eats that up somehow poison is better here because fire and flying types are usually more prominent but they're not right now yeah okay let's do that um what gets like hex because I feel like we just like seriously into this I think it's gonna end up being draggable isn't it uh I mean yeah yeah use that what is the special attack like 80 Gengar uh yeah Gengar is another option but I think Dragon pulse is going to be safer because it's like it's safer yeah it's way better that's true I mean okay uh what do you want to tarot we could do like Terror ghost and like just feel safe yeah hex uh Draco meteor flamethrower I just run like life orb at that point protected yeah protects it's fine all right we got two timid guys we should probably start getting some bulk on here so I was well I mean you could because we do if we're gonna run the ghost dragon ball we might need some uh coverage for dark type so maybe annihilate uh I don't hate annihilate yeah and annihilate does force a decent amount of switches yeah I think a a mixed would we run like uh okay so question um yeah I'm actually like fake out Spirit Break Sucker Punch okay so uh we can do that for sure and I think that's better than what I'm thinking but like something I did uh recently with uh something I put out with Aaron we actually were we actually tried out um Frisk Grinch now with parting shot so that The Parting Shot does not go first oh that isn't that bad actually yeah especially if you're not running screens because like with these moves fake Ops priority Spirit breaks going last anyway let's talk about this priority only thought it would get to the prankster boost that's true wait you gotta you got a good point there actually yeah I like that I like that no no you really are um yeah so uh we could do risk um as far as the item goes covert cloak doesn't seem that bad it blocks fake out yeah I don't hate that uh do you have a spread for it um it was it was actually at the time because we were just putting stuff together we're going Max Max um but you could go like uh some bulk if you don't want the attack but we are running two attacks so I think Max Max is fine yeah here um I think maybe I don't want to do like we could do like a little bit of speed like that yeah I think that's fine yeah out speed up out speed opposing green crucials yeah okay I think we like desperately need a Steel type so we don't lose I'm gonna say we need a steel resist yeah steal fire whatever uh King Gambit feels like a decent option it does um so this is not uh because it's not it's not really a dedicated steel resist it's also something else I've been experimenting with yeah I've been running like Tara water Sylveon um because you still you still resist steel but like you hit the fire type by dragons you hit the terrifier like annihilates you hit the ground guard Chomps like it it's actually been really really good for me yeah I mean as far as water types go like we don't actually have that many really good ones this gen too so I guess tarot water sylveon's not bad yeah um we could also do like Road and watch though because rhodam is really good though Terra ghosted that's true I don't know if I want to run hex though I think oh wait but this gives us like a Willows fuser that makes Dragon pulls even better yeah I think wisp is good for for the road top yeah let me steal a spread from like a rhodium heat that I used the other day because I think it's like actually perfectly fine unlike any road yeah I have that same spread except everyone protect instead of uh uh wash here we go rodem Washington is recommending Road of Washington oh I hate this okay so this is for good Minds so like now how do you guys feel and this could be you know too wacky about like a roar user since we are gonna need them to switch into our our toxic Flex I don't hate that to be honest yeah and it also helps us deal with um yeah yeah we can run like just like Terra grass like the set that I've been running but we actually drop um here I have like a leftover spread um but like instead of yeah here so like we actually drop um we could drop with Louis ferror on this guy yeah that's perfect you keep all the good moves yeah okay that's kind of that's kind of hot I'm not gonna lie it's kind of hot they could alternatively drop slack off uh I don't see I want to just run hex on Dragon pulp because it's easiest to justify it on it because it's our Terror ghost but I want to keep Shadow Ball on skeletorge because in case we need some consistent damage yeah because I want to have the consistency so I'm only really willing to commit to hexon like one it's got It's going to have adaptive building on it anyways now is now one more wacky thing this might be too far out as well but like do you want to like be able to self proc the toxic spikes um would it be a u-turner I mean that that could work because we could do like you turn yeah you turned me oscarata doesn't seem bad but I'm scared about how much damage it'll do to glamora but also like Choice band mascara looks crazy yeah yeah it covers a lot and I guess it's only like when we look and we see okay they have two special attackers on the field they're not gonna process yes and then we're gonna probably drop the sash or maybe we could do key Berry oh wait it's not in the game um we could just run like sash anyways and like if we want a self proc we have the option yeah I'm saying like we have the option if they're like running two special attackers or if they're trying to avoid it like we can see that we can like you turn out into our Dragon pole if anything depending on what's on the field and it's or the Grim scenario it's resisted too so it doesn't actually deal much to glamora yeah all right yeah watch it watch us have learned like a brand new mechanic that actually makes it so uh you set up your your spikes on your own field on your own side oh my God that would make such great content so you turn flower trick knock off um player yeah just jolly waistbands uh protein protein yep you're gonna run play if you gotta have the protein yeah I mean if you're running Choice band you just go protion yeah all right I mean this feels kinda heat to be honest oh what about the tear on a rodum do you want to just keep Terror Electric yeah it feels like it feels like good coverage Tara dark Grim snarl gives us better sucker punches okay I like this this seems this seems kind of fun foreign ready hi I'm born ready yeah toad toad school for school passwords in the uh in the chat I'm already logged in you already yeah for once mate oh wait hold on grimster oh my Rota watch is overheat oh my God yeah no yeah no no no I'm fine that's that's intentional all right hydro pump and also apparently Grim snarl has two spirit breaks my bad Parting Shot I saw this on Twitter it was a Paradox one yeah yeah you got to speak up into the mic oh my God you're good you're good um they got the stupid Mouse uh I mean if they wanna is it is it a layer per hit yeah it's a lair per hit so it's always going to be one um no what if they population bombers do we get more than one layer yeah I think we get more than one layer which is kind of crazy but I'm really scared of this guy honestly Grim's neural Dragon pulp feels like a really good lead here but it does from snow dragon pull um because if we can yeah we might be able to prevent the Tailwind by just going for like Draco yeah and then um is Rotan watch a good switch into most stuff here yeah I think rod and wash and either meowskarada or skeleturge I'm kind of leaning more towards skeleturge but also meow isn't bad they they I was gonna say we need the speed but they don't tell when if if they potentially get two and I mean but me as card is fine I think it's fine yeah let's do let's do that okay true also you're still a little quiet God damn it okay and also now I have to edit that out all right um I mean they might just like protect her they don't have protection marker you don't think right no I mean like on Golden go sorry wait oh wait no no no I mean they might like switch and like just annihilate us oh so you want to go into the legal dingo with the flamethrower I kind of but also technically like Terror ghost hex is stronger I think we just go for Terra ghost text and try to oh I was gonna say I was gonna say fake out the gold Dango because I knew they were going to tear us steel I was thinking maybe they won't in this situation and they would just like Shadow Ball all right well um I think yeah no you can um Sucker Punch Choice man suck a bunch of attackers we don't have Sucker Punch oh we don't have that we got knockoff okay let me think um yeah you can think I think we just lose uh yeah I don't see any [Music] all right yeah that yeah okay no no no all right goodbye goodbye goodbye all right yeah here man can take this one um I'm leading the Glamorous because we didn't even bring it I don't care if it loses but like I feel like we need to feature it um and actually dragonfall goes crazy into just about all these so I'm gonna leave that too yeah and also like this they have a Pokemon that wants to switch we're always gonna I mean so skele dirge actually wouldn't you want to lead off glamora Grims now here because it like always gets off the uh stealth rocks and toxic spikes yeah and then I can bring the skeletos and dragon pulp for swapping for Roar and X yeah yeah I was gonna say I kind of I would personally I prefer rhodam into this matchup it's policy oh the policy so they want to um yeah all right so fake out uh Stealth Rock I think is the play yeah because they want to swap yeah and then you have Sucker Punch for armor-ish [Music] I wish I had I could I wish I knew um palafin's defenses on top of my head because I would have actually just blown that thing up to Loki yeah armor Cannon oh we eat that up um honestly honestly here you might just wanna you could just like Sucker Punch armor Rouge and I think now we can actually go for like Tara fairy dazzling gleam spam like I don't think anything tastes yeah I was looking at that so I'm gonna click it because I think that's the right play as well because this is what I had in my head as well yeah um and they might you know what I could have did besides that I could have pterodact because with their defense drop we probably KO if I turn dark that's true but also they might not even attack here which is why I thought you know we're like yeah yo have fun with that have fun with that have fun hazards and VGC oh dude whatever's coming in is getting blown up okay never mind never mind never mind he's good he's fine uh you can parting shot on the uh yeah yeah I was thinking like um party shot is definitely coming out so I can uh is it poisoned or is it did our spikes go away yeah because of the Mungus yeah I think the play is going to be spiky Shield parting shot and like get in Skelly he might just jet punch but if they do that's fine we get the switch in either way yeah but I do anticipate like a jet punch here yeah I still like the spiky Shield though yeah yeah if they if they jet punch into glamora then they put themselves in a bad position all right Rich powder wave Crush wave crash okay fair enough I guess yeah so uh so do you still want me to because the skeletons are just weak to the water with the dragon pole resist yeah I think we just go Dragon pull here and do you want me to double I was saying do you want me to uh but we also don't have anything to hit the battlefield you kind of got to get this Among Us off the field I could probably double into it with flamethrower and so I guess it has been Dean because slug bomb is gonna get resisted anyway dude oh I mean yeah sludge bombers probably do more damage though for the single Target well no it's half grass it's uh it's neutral oh yes neutral so yeah let's get this thing off the field okay oh this thing's scarf I forgot hey we got those back up though we got those back up yeah and now our hexes are going to do mad damage let's see if they and they didn't Spore yeah unfortunately for us we actually don't have protect on this guy I don't think that's that big I was gonna torch I was gonna um yeah I want to kind of get the get the Among Us with the fields Texas safe yeah I was thinking about too uh torch interviews and then the hex into the palafin should be fine yeah because they might kill themselves yeah they kill themselves nice okay something's getting blown up they're lucky we don't have terra ghost right now yeah oh wait it's flying I hate this game bro all right Miss Draco here you just Draco I hate this game like let me hit something [Music] not a single thing got poisoned that game and we got spikes up like two times three times oh my God all right all right Smith's got this one so yeah it's on your screen right now rabs honestly glamora looks good here like Tara Fairy glamora like annihilates this whole team yeah and also we have non-prankster uh parting shot so on lead that isn't even that bad dude I was considering I like me asking about it as well yeah and like it might get faked out though so just be prepared for that that's true that's true Skeletor it's not bad either I all I know is that we lead off Gomorrah that's like the only thing I know yeah no glamora definitely between Grim skeletons and meow oh skele Dutch might be good it resists um it it can't be faked out so they'll be forced to go into like a little bit more and you can you can roar you can roar the trick room user too DT trick room uh priority minus seven so yeah Roar is minus five yeah yeah yeah yeah you literally just go for um oh you don't even have to you could just tear a fairy here and wear the foregraph they can't do anything because they're gonna have to fake out glamora um I guess there's no point in Terror ferrying I mean you can spiky Shield Roar yeah no we want to take the the fake out because we want yeah so honestly just Tara fairy and like go for damage in case they decide not to protect us part of the play or in case they decide not to like fake out does it catches the possible knockoff play yeah no fake out oh that's great damage and then hyper voice knock off is this knockoff coming out there all right well I'm glad we just like avoided that all together goodbye uh yeah you can just like slack off here I think we we should out speed Sylveon because my Sprint is I mean we don't drop to Sylvia and I think that you can just dazzling gleam and slack off first and then next turn go for rocks every time yeah they might Terror anyway oh they got white guard okay uh let's see hey did I mean that just means they're hypers okay you can double the Sylveon just like sludge bomb but it's a little risky [Music] uh or you could you could yeah yeah I mean the only concern is like hyper voice you could just go like grim star on if it dies it dies and you can like uh was it called Flame uh torch song by hariyama [Music] they might protect that the Sylveon yeah that's what I'm thinking yeah they're scared with it yeah they protect you hariyama doesn't run protect either so that just goes down yeah not both protector and white guard yeah and now we got like non-prankster Parting Shot for the uh the Sylveon here so it doesn't get blocked and we should be faster yeah you could even just like double the photograph [Music] because our grim star has speed Investments so we don't get outside by Sylveon I'm pretty sure what's sylveon's base speed 60 I'm pretty sure yeah we're faster than that thing yeah does it run usually teams yeah rigor F yeah yeah yeah you can uh yeah I think you just doubled the photograph I'm pretty sure it drops to the double because we're Max attack on the on the dude yeah they're they're not gonna trick room with it anyway but they just take it out no shot it just got cooked awesome dude go for it go for it you got two Pokemon left oh no no double that thing double that thing yeah do not allow him the opportunity [Music] they have to run protect over they have to run arrival blessing over protect is the thing oh they can't even hit skeletons anymore yeah now yeah the team is working but man let this why is they not no one wants to hit the freaking Gamora yeah that's the big thing uh this might be a game where we can tear a uh oh wait no because if they end up going all right hear me out hear me out hear me out if I lead off Grim snarl Dragon pull I can convince them to tear a steel and then we go for the fake out in the Ghost type you could because they they either that or they eat a Shadow Ball yeah I actually I think like the grim star mascarato leads always safe yeah yeah meow looks really good online because it lets us do whatever we need to like unless they lead off palmout we're in trouble but beyond that I think we're good dude I want to go Glenmore like every single time I hate this yeah I was gonna leave Lamar who is me because nothing on their team really hits skeletons um we could alternatively just lead off Rotom pretty good too yeah yeah Road and Grimms and then honestly like Tara fairy glamora in the back could be really good yeah we could switch that thing into a physical hit too if we need to wait this dude goes crazy Choice band we know the choice but it can't touch the grim star without uh tearing so I remember uh it's it's kind of iffy I think I want to just Sucker Punch The Dragon pull to be honest I could like Tara now and just get rid of it you could and I think I would do the same thing dude I'm in a nasty plot I'm gonna nasty pot right now or do I even need the Tara I'm kind of concerned I don't think no I mean do I have to tear it with the Grim Stars When I met if yeah let's go for it let's go for the KO wait let me let me run the couch let me run the calc I'm not risking this hold on so Le Grim snarl Max Tech Advent let me know if the timer is running down versus dragapol wristband Set uh Sucker Punch let me just make sure this one shots because then I don't have to Tara no we have to Tara okay I'm in a nasty plot and just go for it I hate this goodbye sir yeah and now we have like a really strong attack for that our believer so I was like I got a strong attack for pillow we don't we don't have to attack Windows no we we don't protect them this Rotom but uh I don't think we dropped to one hit we could go glamora yeah we could go Gamora and like eat the um but I'm waiting and then like just in there we can bring it in safe roll time probably survives yeah and I guess the Sash and Gomorrah could win us the game yeah let's just go for it yeah uh I'm actually gonna double the murkrow okay so it wants to sweat oh hello oh that's fine all right shrink set oh wait that might not oh maybe a surprise no no no no no they didn't even they didn't even Target the road time so no they didn't we just have to wait this out oh it's a pop-up no don't do this to me don't do this to me all right um I know what they're gonna do I think here I'm gonna go for Willow so I'm gonna get the glamora in yeah I like that yeah because we always beat dragapol oh wait hold on toxic debris I'll take it oh in this uh I think I still go for willowist to be honest and I actually yeah and I think I actually switch out like because what they go they went for pollen Puff we could go right into Dragon pulse assuming they're gonna close combat and also clear body blocks that yeah I think that's a good idea The Willow The Willow Wisp will land this time too Revival blessing I have a blessing that's a waste of a turn yeah they're gonna bring back the drag all we have to do is get it down to a one hello oh come on okay um now we have to land it they don't have an attack to hit us this is a real gambler's moment yeah I think I wanna know no I will always but I just go for flamethrow and I believe I'm not scared of our believer yeah um because I think what ends up happening with if if they do get their dragon pulled in one they have to win the speed tie or they get poisoned and hex blows them up yeah or they lock into something like um they lock into like something that like like was it no they're physicals yo yo Rodeo you want to connect now okay thank you no that hex that hex is blowing up this arboliva or nothing I believe the Palm up wait oh that doesn't block it what he's got an infinite heal Factory this man cannot be allowed to live yeah but it doesn't um block yeah yeah yeah we always text the Palma and honestly like we don't need the rodent to win I'm just gonna go for willow wisp yeah because then we can text the arbor lever yeah he cannot be allowed to live yeah there you go goodbye live all right power [Music] bringing your dragon pole so if we win this speed time we win the game yeah and honestly if I protect um both attacks redirecting to Rotom anyways so I just protect here and I get in the group snow for free and then yeah and then they get blown up by Sucker Punch because they can't redirect that no oh yeah yeah so yeah the road time works now yeah yeah no check that out dude we used we used that mechanic against him so confused because he's a cowboy that's why they hit him with the nasty they thought that a split damage was coming hold on let me let me do some math so Sucker Punch is always the correct playing the Dragon Ball because I can't Dodge that 130 times or 130 with 1.5 what is it that's uh 65. it's it's okay is it stronger yeah it's stronger than flamethrower yeah all right so this is going to be a two shot everything dies and made a good choice and so they can't they can't switch they can't protect it yeah and this is a strong Sucker Punch man dude shout out shout out um wrote them for giving us more hex targets all right no that's a win dude I want to get in Gamora just to say is it grash normal oh it's grass normal oh it is I'm a stupid idiot I don't think any of us knew that right now yeah I mean that being said we just like do this yeah we just and then like Gamora eventually comes in wait did you uh what did you protect instead of attacking it no are they protected yeah I'm just gonna keep hitting it like why did they want terrain to be reset like think about it and I can't safely get in Gomorrah which Otto wins this match because they're just gonna eventually like you know they're just gonna sap or strength step here oh they don't no they threw okay they just lost okay yeah good game good game they knew it was over we were dragging it out to try to get our mind in but it was no now they're dragging it out they're dragging recovery I hate this guy what is your game plan how do you win this just smoke them yeah this is this is a situation where it is polite to forfeit all right this one's Mains game oh is it my turn again yeah yeah we're gonna do two rounds all right all right they have nothing they have nothing for toxic spikes if you're real you will lead up lamora and I'm gonna um lead the uh I have to I wanted to lead the um knocking fake out with the uh no because they then it doesn't matter because the guard chomp scares me I can't lead Scala bears with it the the real game no no no the real gamer play is you lead off glamora Grim sterile and you fake out into the into the area no you fake out into the uh into the the Golden Goat even though yeah because they're gonna tear us steel that's the gamer who's boss yeah let them know that we are better uh I brought my uh skeleton in the back because it does go good into like me I'll start up yeah they end up Notting not leading off Golden Goal like then you know grimstone is just like always good all right I genuinely hope they did Golden go oh let's walk around a lame uh there's no chance Volk stays in on this right we just get rocks and take out the murkrow because that catches uh that just like automatically chaos I'm pretty sure I think it will like even with you I'll go for it um but then it's our guard um yeah that's not easy like that's not easy like if it's taking that yeah oh wait no no that's evolite main how did you not know that was UV light it's all right we're gonna bring this back yeah yeah you're gonna bring this back um they don't have any damage um yeah actually I was gonna I was gonna think I'm thinking about parting shouting and getting the skele dirge in here so I can start roaring stuff well don't we want to get them get rid of mercury as soon as possible though I'll get rid of it but sometimes like I like Norco being stuck on the field not being able to do anything that's true that's true but I always feel like just getting rid of it like sooner rather than later is always safe because we could we could just um spiky shield and get in and get in a skelet urge here yeah um I'm gonna I'm gonna go for the I'm gonna go for like the party shots of the volcaron because it's gonna die anyway so I might as well try instead of like swapping in the uh swapping anything to get to take a hit yeah and that does give us minus one now yeah all right so skeleton yeah Scholars can come in here yeah um you could honestly no I think you just like always go for the torch song into golden go and you like let glamora go down and you don't so I mean I could go for the I could go for the double spiky Shield here and yeah if I get it then I can let it die next turn and even even like even like spiky Shield slack off is like a fine play yeah because they can't actually take us down so I can just recover off the energy take off the freaking swap let's see how much damage they do bug all right I did nothing I should have never song now might be the time to actually get in the the dragon Pole where the glamorous that is a real time watch right or you could even just like you could even just like Sledge bomb the Volcarona and get in dragonport where the skeleton urges or or actually before uh sludge bomb wrote him and getting Dragon pulp might be better because you have a chance to poison and then hex blows it up yeah so yeah getting the dragon pulled in here feels very very safe um yeah yeah that does nothing clear body too yeah all right if we get this poison that's gonna be amazing no poison okay uh you can probably get in I could Draco that thing yeah no now you like Draco and get in Skelly yeah so let's do that uh they might struggle but this guy but we can torch along that back I guess yeah um actually maybe maybe just like a second sludge bomb is fine because the more I think about it you want skeletorch healthy for the end game yeah I guess that gold Dango um so I'm gonna sludge bomb and then I'm gonna Draco that should die okay all right let's get this poison let's get this poison Gamers come on glamora yo yeah we'll take that burn all right we're still faster so I'm gonna flame throw into that Golden Goal well actually actually um I think that here they always go for Make It Rain so getting in skelet are just safe like spiky Shield skeletons because you want to be faster yeah you want to be faster and keep Dragon port for the end game because flamethrower will never KO I don't think they have a Shadow Ball either I think they're just gonna rage powder and like make it rain all right I'll take the uh switch but the shadow balls on y'all no no there's no shot it's objectively the wrong play so and then whether you want to take the uh minus one the Shadow Ball that was the okay no no I'll tell you I and I'll tell you why because they know what we have in the back so they know what the switchings are okay they saw all right I mean it's not scarf because the vocal gonna outside but also like if they had rage powder they would have clicked it there wouldn't they [Music] would [Music] um I mean do you just like dazzling gleam yeah flamethrower if this dazzling in chaos I'm gonna I'm gonna lose my mind God wait we also outspired we also yeah okay we have to like crit we need like the world's greatest crit IC if you've never did anything in your life oh man okay let's do what I dude I'm so surprised they actually shadowed out there yeah yeah I know that's uh that's something yeah I thought they they may have I was willing to take the take the flamethrow into them and then all right I'm just gonna say it Tara fairy Gamora blows up this entire team yeah and it doesn't blow up anything yeah yeah no just just Gamora Grim snarl and then like skeletons in the back [Music] how are we doing we have we got two losses three wins right now let's make it four actually Waiters yeah are you sure you don't want to lead off Gamora are you sure okay I'm going glimp grow glim Grim glim Grim actually that's a that's kind of a heat name Glenn Grimm it is a heat name or gremlin should be that should be good AKA GG even though our even though our record is shoddy at best but yeah um fake out on the lead is good here in there oh I I blocked it I'm waiting on calm I'm hoping that their final game will annihilate and they just final Gambit into our glamora so they lose what is the set what does it say uh scope lens focused energy guarantees for it by passing the Drake okay well that's it's a good thing we have glamora so I think because no no no no no no no no you fake out hydrogon in raw fairy in in raw D gleam in the next turn on the Draco you Tara fairy yeah I like that I like that oh they just okay no no they just lost it they're scared nice scope ones dude nice scope ones what happens is when you don't know what the Pokemon does uh I mean yeah I think you just I yeah I think he just double the Grim snarl and like Spirit Break oh okay all right no we're like cool with that because like what's in the back it's annihilate yeah no no Terra fairy and this end this dude yeah it probably won't get your behind screens but it'll do a lot of damage yeah that's it actually nothing now that I think about it that's it actually nothing ball Club is not that big because they're slower than the Pokemon well do we have do we do we max out the special attack yeah yes actually actually I mean like if we get in Skeletor to refine we just have to like not hit an eye lape we already hit it once yeah um oh true I think we just like double the amungus yeah and let the annihilate knock us out and bring our Pokemon in after yeah all that switching boxy suggestions are getting us knocked out yeah oh I wish your opponents would switch more man they like people are just avoiding this oh I can't well we'll take the switch this time we'll still double to the end that's fine that's fine also Spike and shield might actually be really clutch in this end game damage off then we can knock it out with whatever we have in the back yeah I'm pretty sure skeldridge can take one rage Fest that wasn't created in nothing to glamora yeah Scouts can eat one range rageous like I'm certain about that so now you're getting Skelly and oh wait that's still kinda close so you still have to double is this gonna rage powder yeah you still have to double but I think we're fine but but we go first and they get another boost on rage fists if we go first with glamora well no no we double A Mungus to get rid of it okay yeah I like that I'm gonna go for a torch song yeah [Music] anything dicey happens okay we still have the the Rotom in the back as well so if we make a material oh and protect dude there's no way they have terrible blast right there's like no shot just uh okay yeah no that's pretty bad we have Road time to do Arrow water that's true um so I mean we need to do we just play this to get yeah you just rage powder is the only thing saving them in the end game yeah he's probably gonna take down the skeleton oh he didn't that's okay that did a lot too yeah that's good damage all right uh here we don't have protect on them so do we just attack into the humongous uh yes I think we end up having to because yeah I would I mean we could Thunderbolt into the annihilate and make them redirect it yeah hope for the best yeah I hope that they go for sport yeah make them redirect it yeah yeah which they probably will because they see they know that we they're probably wondering if they're faster than us but even if they are I don't think they can knock us out oh they're not faster dude that is a slow annihilate yo these days this is gonna carry the end game uh all right I think the play here is actually gonna be to hydro pump and hope for a crit because Thunderbolt won't do it yeah in the next turn if we survive we go for like Thunderbolt crit no okay ah missed yeah right we can we have we need a one-time sleep here no we still lose yeah because I was guaranteed yeah yeah that was the guaranteed sleep and they got a rage powder all right look we went 50 50 on this one I think that's fine with a Pokemon that after my analysis today I can confidently say something yeah at this point I mean in doubles it's nothing I think that there is a right way to use glamora and I think the way that you do it is you actually don't lean into the hazards um but you just take it as a passive uh so I think that's like the right way to use it but I really wanted to go for the hazards today yeah maybe next time don't run stealth rocks put another move on there that's like useful yeah like honestly like if we didn't run stealth rocks like we actually have a lot of decent options like doesn't it get time we have power gym oh yeah no we have we'd have that uh mortal spin low-key kind of cool not really I don't even know what that does oh wait acid spray acid spray is actually crazy now acid spray would have been the play I think we're even terrible toy scoff acid spray could be a fun time I think Taylor Bluffs that should be it yeah probably but yeah that's gonna be it guys you know we went 50 50. look it was it was an impromptu team Builder 50 50. we'll take it Bombardier did worse I wasn't around for that no and I'm usually here uh these teams win I don't know what happened today exactly but yeah that's gonna be it for today
