pgH1YTIkP-w | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgH1YTIkP-w | How To Clean A Propane Tank For Safe Cutting | hey guys shaver 1000 here today I want to show you how to clean out one of these tanks in case you want to cut it in half or make a little stew like I'm going to do stay tuned I'll show you the safe way to do that okay guys we've got our tank here right this is the newer style valve so if you open this valve up nothing's going to come out whether you you know whether there's anything in it or not right in there there's a little like a little check valve that gets pushed in when you put this on your grill so if you want to make sure it's all out hook this up to your grill or whatever one of those heaters or whatever and turn it on and make sure there's no gas left in here also once you do that you can turn your valve open take something and stick in there and push that valve tell that Valve push it down in can you guys see that with me see that and hold that up and you'll smell something don't don't be smoking while you're doing this good okay and then you're pretty good to go for now now what we're going to do is we got to get this valve out of here okay so what I'm going to do is I'm going to take it's welded in three places well they're on the back right here and right there now I'm going to cut this off with a grinder with a four inch cutoff wheel and I'm gonna cut them welds off and try not to make any any sparks just in case but you should be okay to do that I recommend using a sawzall but I don't have one so I'm gonna use my grinder and I'll show you how to do that okay guys I just cut this off I didn't hit record on the camera I'm sorry but I can show you there's Zeus three three wells you just cut them off and that'll pop right off okay now we got we gotta get this valve out of here okay now you can put it in a vise and here's the bottom if you want hold that but all I'm gonna do is I'm gonna let down and I'm gonna tap that around with the hammer okay so I know it's empty but we're still want to take precautions so be careful when you do this try to stay back away from this thing just in case right so [Music] just beat it right here on on that part right there [Music] but I don't have a vise now if I had a vise I would put this bottom in a vise and I'd put a wrench on there and pull it around now inside here there'll be a valve and then you're gonna be smiling a lot of gas I see there's a vow what this does this is liquid propane tank okay so with this valve does it's kind of like how your fuel gauge works in your vehicle but once the propane gets up the liquid propane gets up there and it raises this up it actually shuts it off you can't overfill these things so now if you can also if you want you can save that piece and set this up like that overnight liquid propane any gases that may be left in there residual gases will come out don't do this inside of course so if that's you know I leave it set overnight if you want now the next thing but I'm not going to do that I know this is empty but there still could be residual and I don't know if the camera can pick it up [Music] but you can actually see them coming out okay so but what we're going to do next is I'm going to perfect before I wash it okay but just just for safety's sake I'm gonna leave this set here for about an hour and I'll be back with you okay guys you don't have to do this step but I'm going to I've done this with gas tanks for cars for motorcycles lawn mowers you name it what I'm going to do is I'm going to start this I'm gonna start up the scooter and I'm going to let the exhaust gases from the scooter purge out this tank because the exhaust gases we know is there already they've already been burned they can't be burnt again so I'm gonna purge this and I'll show you how I'm going to do that first we're gonna start the scooter I'm gonna put this tank right underneath that exhaust and I'm gonna let this run for a minute just like this but I'm gonna prop it up you can immediately start smelling propane tune so I'm gonna let that run for a minute and then we'll go on to step two and we're going to rinse that tank out with soapy water okay guys now I'm gonna take some of this cheap at just some cheap dish soap it doesn't take a lot just pour some of that in there just like that grab your water hose or however you want to fill it up and I'm not gonna fill it all the way up I'm only going to go all about halfway then I'm gonna switch it around dump it out just swish it around make sure you get all that soapy water coated everywhere that you can then I'm going to dump it out on the ground just like that and I'm going to do this two or three times okay so let me keep on doing this okay I've done that four times now I'm just going to let it run out until I hardly see any more soap coming out and if you want you can also run your exhaust through it again if you want you don't have to or you can leave it set upside down again overnight again you don't have to but I'm going to go ahead and fill this up and I'm gonna hold the hose here once it gets full until I don't see any more soap coming out we'll move on to the next step okay now that I've got it all rinsed out I'm gonna prove to you there's no gas left in here there's no water in this thing take my torch now if your torch ain't gonna light that up a few sparks is not gonna light it up but if you feel safer when you're cutting this if you've got a pneumatic cutoff wheel don't use something electric like I've got you can fill this up with water do your cutting wherever you want to cut it at if you feel safer but like I said right there that's clean if that torching gonna light that up nothing is so that's how you clean your propane tank if you want to cut one in half alright guys so there you go that's how you do that you won't have any problems then you can cut on it all day long you can cut it with a torch you cut it with a plasma cutter it's not going to blow up on you so there you go but if you want a straight a good straight cut I would use a cut-off wheel either pneumatic but if you're gonna fill it up with water you want to want to use air something that's not electric like I said all all I've got I don't have a cut-off wheel for my pneumatic cutoff thing whatever you want to call it but I do have my 4 inch grinder so I'm not gonna fill it up with water but if you feel comfortable doing that by all means do it now stay tuned for part two where I'm going to cut a hole out in this thing and we're gonna make a little a little stove out of it now the reason why I'm gonna make a little stove ain't no tank camping down here it doesn't really get all that cold that's usually what guys make these for but we have a lot of hurricanes so if the electorate goes out I'll have something to cook on so stay tuned for part two where we're gonna start building this little stove thanks for watching and remember stay safe guys shave every 1000 myth the main a legend Golf for now bye bye guys take care [Music] you | shabear1000 | UC5vgsMzsrxmhOPat_Nh5ToA | 2019-09-26 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) |

5TkA4loRjo0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TkA4loRjo0 | Will Bryce Harper Audition For The Yankees In Next Two Games? - Felix Pantaleon | yeah what's bulletproof Tommy but the proof time is from Brooklyn you nobody call me brother bulletproof Tommy because when I was little my mom used to make me carrying all the books all the books from school then one day I was walking her back home a ticket book bag on me whole bunch of books then you know what happened some hoodlum bastard started to shoot right and I could hear the bullets past my my my head Hey one of those bullets hit me and you know what happened folks my bookbag stopped the bullet and ever since then I've been called bulletproof Tommy from Brooklyn [Music] any soul wow that was that was really good I was hilarious anyways guys I'm sorry for that improv real quick it was just so anyways Yankees fans yet again in this field from my news.com well like almost us like usual let's talk about John Carlos Stanton let's talk about Aaron judge let's talk about how once these two beasts get going if we're gonna see we're gonna see them have a little friendly competition we're kind of seeing it now we're judge his home rust and his own woman but they're not really that hot right now short judge has had a higher batting average and he has had more hits but wait until these two beasts get on a little hot streak a little huh straight I can't even freaking the right thing well the proof Toby was freaking hilarious you can't even lie about that so anyways folks we might see I know these two are not gonna hit homeruns like Mark McGwire so okay but we might seem a little friendly competition where when it starts to get hot you're gonna see judge and stand and compete and we might see a show I know for a fact Major League Baseball is hoping that these two beasts you go you call them beasts because I keep thinking my head and stuffing just coming out naturally these two beasts are gonna start hitting like beasts like the beasts we know they are and while we might see them have a little mantel embarrassing going on we might see we obviously not like I said they're not gonna hit that many home runs like Mark McGwire Sosa's did for obvious reasons but we might see them maybe hit a pair of 50 home runs each who knows because don't call of staunton last year he had one less home run than he has right now and it's really the same kind of path he took last year so we might see that he fixed it right quick it's all live folks his own live no editing here so you're gonna see me fix stuff here and there well wait until they both heat up is going to be great for baseball great obviously great for the New York Yankees and you know it's a show that's why the Yankees got Stenson for ratings etc he's a great player but short because he gets going is gonna be pure entertainment so let's talk about Luis every no Luis every no again pitching like Luis Severino has been pitching for this season and last season he might just win the signed young award this year folks and this is the thing about the Yankees look at least severally suberino he is the blueprint and how at a supposed to pitch I don't understand why the Yankees just don't trade for an ace caliber picture like we Severino we all know high-velocity pictures or the recipe for an ace type of pitcher not and Nathan of all the obviously but a picture that gets strikeouts so this deadline the Yankees are just going to be deadly they add another picture that's gonna be a one-two punch with Serena she's gonna be great baseball once the once we see the weather pick up so yeah he says Bryce Harper's coming to town expect them to audition for the Yankees you know the Yankees have enough money to obtain them next offseason I don't think the Yankees are gonna get Manuel Tonto Manny Machado wants to play shortstop you could just forget about that but Bryce Harper I could almost Bank that the Yankees are gonna sign Harper just because he's having a crazy year in that short short porch in right field in Yankee Stadium will work for his advantage and like I said again the Yankees are just gonna have a ton of money so expect Harper to come in here for those two games in audition I don't know if the Yankees are gonna take those two games I don't know who knows Bryce Harper is just hot right now he might carry the Nationals to a victory but we all know he has that reputation of choking in big situations so who knows then the Yankees go to Kansas City so but whatever this Tuesday that series kicks off expect Harper to audition for the New York Yankees let me know in the comment section below guys do you want Bryce Harper on New York Yankees if the Yankees can't afford it obviously they're gonna make some space out there now feel for him so obviously so just let me know in the comment section below Yankees fans and you see the background obviously I could easily block this with a green screen or whatever but I don't want to obviously isn't unique I'm just gonna put a few Yankees bobbleheads up there will you see that there little edge thing right there and um yeah I could easily uh fix that but I'm gonna show you a picture right now of how my PC setup and the screens and stuff like that that's handy man it was put there because it actually fit perfectly there that I used to have a couch back there but the dimensions were just exactly alike so I just said hey let me put that back there so uh yeah that was my setup so if I'm comfortable with it I'm comfortable with it right so that's just me right so Yankees fans like always it has been filled from my news.com share like and subscribe like always and I will check you all next time Oh | NYYNEWS | UC-wI39tFM-omBDovxjjCe0g |

eFdR5tnk4RM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFdR5tnk4RM | Breaking down the Yankees' offseason | let's start with the Yankees and what they've been able to accomplish so far jacket started with that kind of slow burn it got to the winter meetings and finally the news of Aaron judge broke and then just recently Carlos we're done as you said in your poem there Bob there's still work to be done but imagine where we would be right now if the Yankees didn't have Aaron judge to talk about so there are things that had to happen across this off season the number one thing that had to happen was Aaron judge and the Yankees had to figure out a way to come back together the Yankees didn't want to Envision a world without him he's the most popular player on the team he's the face of the franchise he's the reigning MVP and I don't think judge in his heart of hearts really wanted to think about a world without the Yankees he now gets to stay as a Yankee he can follow in the footsteps of the likes of Jeter Pasada Mariano people who have played their entire career with the Yankees yeah when Aaron judge re-signed with the Yankees we were talking about a move that had to be made but then it was okay now now you got to get better you got to find a way to go Toe to Toe against the Houston Astros with your roster and Brian Cashman the front office the Steinbrenner family they have done it again bringing rodon in so now you have arguably maybe one of the best rotations in baseball you can't forget about the Rizzo signing coming back that was so important I know Tommy kaneley is not a huge addition to that Bullpen but he's going to help out there so there are a lot of moves now that the Yankees are making trying to get them over the hump to try to get back to that world championship | YESNetwork | UCJXltguGSVIZAcbIglaZ-mA | 2022-12-20 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 330 | 1,693 |

vPXtHbyX5fQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPXtHbyX5fQ | Asked for more and we got it! Top territory is ours! - EoL | What's up everybody! Redthorn here from Redthorn's Gaming. Coming at you with Era of Legends. We have a guild siege today. This is like number nine or ten but I haven't really been recording them so this is like four point seven this is number four now the reason I'm recording this is because there's been a change in status for guild siege. We'll come over here to the guild and the territory you will notice here in Divine Dragon City, Crusaders has been knocked out. Phoenix and ChaosTheory and I believe Ascending may have thrown a few people in there we managed to kick them out. ChaosTheory got two of the three totems at the end of the battle so they took the territory which tells me and anybody else that may not know that that's how you take the territory by having the most totems at the end in the battle I'm almost pretty positive that all three totems have been taken away from Crusaders but the battle kept going so it looks like you need to have the vast majority of the of the totems two out of three three out of three in order to take the territory at the end of the thirty minutes now because Crusaders got kicked out you'll notice their name is not anywhere on this map right now Saturday they're gonna take familiar utopia next Tuesday it'll be Phoenix but let's head into the battlefield right now I don't know how many people are on or are coming from ascending like I said I think last last Saturday they didn't throw too many people out there when they may have and I just missed them all I don't know there's luckily I was a lot of people at this point they just be Phoenix vs. chaos theory then anything goes in these battles so I'm not even gonna take a guess as to how this is gonna go down we have two minutes before we begin one minute and thirty seconds before we begin and I just went into the settings and I cranked everything up to the top so I expect my battery to die pretty quickly this is a twenty sixteen device I've had it for a few years I'm waiting for the iPad pro for the iPad pro 3 was nice but it wasn't very durable and I'm a klutz and I dropped my stuff a lot so I wait for it 60 seconds before we begin 30 seconds before we begin one second off there sorry ten seconds before you're good here we go 25 minutes to try to do something here an era of legends guild seats number 4 there's nobody here to shoot I don't see offending anywhere here so it's basically a one-on-one this is not going to go very well I don't think it might though it depends on how many of chaos series people show up to this battle yeah it goes another and that gates going down I wonder how many of these people actually showed up that would be super hilarious if we took this took this uh this territory because of their lack of attendance on a Tuesday I mean this gate is going down we can shoot these things from you down here no so there's one person from ascending now let's think we busted through the gate and I'm just wandering around here this is interesting did you find my peoples I see him I got to run up to him now you've taken it pillow down like yeah if you don't stay near the group healers then I can't hear you it's just not gonna happen we were smashing this totem down this pillar called totems and pillars you might have a good good fight on her hand all right there is one pillar down but they can just destroy it again one Gill trying to do this it's gonna be very difficult because we're going to need to have some people to defend this total or this dis pillar I hope they realize that they can just easily take that total or that pillar back and call me a friggin totem you can run away by this thing in this bill is going down quickly too I ain't seen anybody well you better turn you our doggone settings up that's all I can say I don't see any of my people around me no I'm just healing all right well there's another another one I am so going to laugh we take this hey if we take this out and they're not able to get another one of them back this is going to be interesting whoo this may actually end the fight automatically all heels and ports spawn camp of enemy okay it must be nobody here oh they're trying to prevent them from even coming out - taking a beating he's still going well I mean that's what you get for standing in for going up there my isn't it stuff alright well it looks like we took all three through all three and yet we're still in the battle with 16 minutes left so I guess taking them all doesn't automatically end the battle unless there's something I'm missing getting assists for healing and killing that's super funny I'm trying to see who owns this Phoenix occupies it so yeah taking all three does not automatically end the panel that's Wow so we now have to sit here for the next 15 minutes and 30 seconds and defend these totems at least two of them if we can keep two of them we will win this territory oh then I wasn't slapped around huh hey but that's good all we have to do is stop them from taking two out of the three tones for the next 15 minutes holy moly okay I guess I have a video to do I thought I was gonna wind up cutting everything out apparently not and we actually have a decent group of people who show up to this stuff so we may be able to hold this for the next next field siege which would be phenomenal until Crusaders catches up I mean this is all we do as Group healers we just stand in the middle of the group and we heal and we get assists for every time they kill somebody we get an assist if we're healing them and I have max characters on it and I don't see this person doing this to us because it's just too many I can't get a kill but I'm getting a lot of assists that's for sure yeah see they have a lot of druids and through woods can do that pull and move and then just picking each person and pulling them in pick next one pull man there's a lot of healers here we're all dead apparently this is gonna be a long battle not gonna lie let's see we still own I think we own the mall still I don't think we're gonna let chaos theory through this this wall of insanity here I think getting the assist of that it's terrible I'm healing the tank well it just sits there and just beats the dog crap out of them we've totally kept them at their spawn area and just have no chance I personally don't know we have more people on than them but if they didn't come in here prepared for a fight less than ten minutes to go this is a done deal I have no doubt in my mind if this is a done deal there's absolutely no way unless everyone just goes afk or disconnects or whatever like I'm getting hit by something people are running around like crazy Phoenix what are you doing I understand you're trying to avoid the AOS I got it what you're not making any shamans life easier right now thank you just backing up and going forward backing up and going forward that is extremely hilarious local joy you need to change this we take all three totems this battle needs be done with we don't need to sit here for 30 minutes yeah let's the five minutes to go no honors hip in first two tiers so there's no honor so I guess I guess they can't go straight to the tier two instead of having to go one two and then three they can just go straight to two and then attack three because there's no owners so long as there's no owners there they can attack anybody which kind of makes sense if nobody owns it why not go at it I'm not even getting assists anymore four minutes to go in this battle oops I got to turn into a sheep yeah nice sheeps again less than three minutes to go is this is this is over can we occupied territories no we cannot we're gonna lose we're gonna lose our tier two because we will occupy the tier three and then on Saturday assuming that what he said is correct it'll be chaos well they won't be chaos theory it'll be us versus Crusaders and ascending but ascending didn't even show up today so they're probably not going to show up less than two minutes to go they're just running around throwing up AOA heels something over here is kicking our butts we can't see them that's terrible I should have gotten something for that I didn't get Jack you're not letting the man out of our out of their spawn area too much and we have our rogues who can go invisible and just sneak up on people and then I died to a rogue of course I'm trying to see what's going on here 44 seconds before this battle ends I'm hitting him bothered to take out the right side gate there was no reason for it hey we're gonna chase this person down ah that was pretty funny I got a couple of shots off ten seconds before the end of this battle I'm not gonna even bother getting in there all right so there you have it we're gonna find out we're gonna find out how the rest of territories win right now okay so I made 21st with 245 assists and zero kills we took all three pillars down and we now occupy the highest tier territory in era of Legends yay okay here are your stats congratulations to ZYX x zy Wow however you want to say that right delicious is number one person probably should come out with a better name so I'm not stumbling over something whatever the heck that stuff is while we had a lot of people see that's what I like to see 64 people showed up and participated ahead of a hundred and 180 possible maybe 170 something that hey thumbs up for that we got at least a third of our guild that you really can't ask much more than that but that was fantastic great fight to take this away though it wasn't one-on-one and I don't even know if they if chaos theory was even all there or not now we claim this reward delete that mail and we will quit the battlefield and we will see what the situation looks like Guild territory okay so he is correct Crusaders will be attacking us along with the sending on Saturday I guess that's all it takes is if there's nobody if nobody occupies it then anybody can attack it whether it's tier 1 tier 2 tier 3 somebody else here will go after a bec shire on Saturday so basically out basically it's us versus Crusaders and maybe a handful of Ascending if they even show up I saw one in the video so us vs Crusaders on Saturday but hey we get to take the tier three for what? The next four days? Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and then on Saturday night we will defend and hit me up on Twitter and Facebook let me know what you think. Thanks for watch for watching and I will see you on Saturday. | Redthorn | UCv6Rr-HhW2YOVeHOuXDeqPQ | 2019-05-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,054 | 10,453 |

job even though it pays too good but still um you know it's a lot of hard work and it's been a while since i've been doing this kind of work um and i was very nervous of doing this newscast because last time i did this i got very nervous i couldn't find anything else to say um and now that i saw a couple of people just a few seconds ago that are making a video i myself am not as nervous as i was earlier today so i am very happy i'm very excited that i get to share this experience with y'all um and um yeah so what i'm about to do is show you around oh where i live at what i'm doing um where i usually hang out it um and oh no i thought oh i'm sorry sorry i got distracted y'all but um anyways well while i was saying oh yeah um well like i said i'm about to uh show you around um where i hang out at um what i do and uh yeah it's gonna be fun um like what you see right here is um a lot going on around this area um police got the rope blocked off and stuff now um last weekend i was here um there was a lot of fights out here um i gotta be careful not to piss a lot of people off tonight but you know some people might not want to be recorded and i'm pretty fine with it but it's one some people want to be on the video that's okay too um yeah so um well yeah so a lot of people out here walking and uh yeah very big crowd tonight a lot of great music going on you know yeah and it's been a long time since i've been out here panically um last time i went it was my first time it was back in 2005 when i was in the fifth grade um it was towards the end of the year and i did get something special um that day i had pizza um and then um when i ate the pizza i was very constipated until we got back to the school and when i got back to school i took a huge dog because i ate that pizza so it's pretty funny memory right there and on top of that i got a really cute gift i got a ball with a flower in it um it's a plant inside of it it was it was a important inside the ball so i thought it was pretty cute um it was pretty cool um i don't know if i still have it but if it was i probably it was probably at my parents house so if i still do i do have it i'm going to show it to y'all someday um on another newscast but right now as i wish the years went by um that ball is pretty old so i'm just pretty sure that it has a lot of damage to it um so okay a lot of cars out here a lot of events going on hot dog stand people send out people get into clubs um but i forgot to mention i've been to that club before it's pretty all right but kind of it's not for me no let's go to the other side right here um well the music jumping right here i've been to that club so many times now um it's all right i mean it's pretty chill but the only issue that i have um is people fighting in there people bumping into me you know people bumping into each other actually people stepping on people's other people's see what kind of shoe that i have right here i just bought those last december they're still they're brand new when i bought them they're not used i got 12 other pairs of shoes at my house right now and i got six other pairs of shoes like these in different colors different solid colors and people are tending to step all over them that's right look at these shoes right here you see these they're nice right look oh gold green now this is the nicest shoes that i ever got and people are tending to step over and ruin them and last week i had to get on a guy that did that to me how do you think i feel about that how do you think i feel you think i feel happy about that no cause people want to cram my style so when i told them i said hey hey you can't do that man and the guy apologized to me and he gave me a twenty dollar he gave me twenty dollars now how nice is that [Music] so i just took that as a blessing now am i still doing graphic design yes i am am i working a full-time job as a right now yes i am but i'm doing both because i did a video on about inflation food prices gas prices are so high bills are getting piling up rent is going up and what else like everything else going up like cost of cars everything everything's going up these days so um let's go walk this way right now be careful not to piss a lot of people off tonight because they don't want to be recorded so it's very difficult finding parking out here downtown hustle late at night you know people are going to get drunk people are going to drive crazy people want to get into fights people want to simp on girls sin for girls not meant to say real and let me tell you all a story or what happened last october or halloween so i was about to go home right and i don't know what happened i don't i did not see it but for what i witnessed so far um a guy punched another guy because he's accusing that guy to touch his girlfriend on the butt and he kept repeating himself no i didn't do it no i didn't do it he he tried to get to believe him but he wasn't buying it he just swung on the guy and everyone else blamed him and i did not know what happened i'm not going to take either side because i didn't see it if i do see it i know who to judge and who not to judge because there are two sides to each story and we should not blame one person who did not see it um and don't go by the word of mouth because if you start rumors you can start drama then it's going to be trouble so um yeah a lot of parking right here like i said i tried to park over there and it was no space over there so where i always park is right up the hill i'm about to show you that in a minute um but right now let's talk what goes on around this area so you know during the day weekday daytime you know people come out to eat um come out to drink come out to uh do whatever play music and i'm about to show you uh my old hangout too um but i usually hang out in one restaurant called humphreys and i don't do that m do it too much anymore because you know i got a nine to five just to um get caught up with my bills and stuff so um why am i going to go back to graphic design full time go hoo god who knows um it may be a month it may be two months away three months maybe a year two years five years ten years time time will tell so but yeah like i said um i'm about to show you uh where i used to hang out at um it's just right up the block really so oh boy put this house in 650 yeah all

um my shoe collection no i've been really saving up a lot of money just to buy wardrobe now it took me two years to you know stock up on shoes clothing for me to wear you know it's a lot of hard work a lot of determination a lot of sacrifices and all that stuff but as long as you put your mind to it you know things will happen you just gotta believe in yourself don't give up um it's kind of a long lengthy process including me because even though the stuff that i want you know people are sold out you know inflation and stuff huntsville is getting bigger you know population wise huntsville's talking about constructing new buildings apartments building new houses you know i gotta talk about that in the next newscast you know but do you think huntsville can support all day no huntsville

-1qhtWhxxQc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1qhtWhxxQc | The South China Sea: Ownership, Energy and International Affairs | [Music] [Applause] welcome to S Tech Hawaii asan review this is Johnson Choy the host the guest today is Professor Quark before I introduce professor I would like to take 15 second to wish everybody a happy W festival today is the day in Asia in China and Hong Kong and some places today is also considered as a valentine day so happy valentine day to the world Professor C is one of our fellow Hong konger we call he was born and raised in Hong Kong and he is right now is a full professor at University of Hawaii and Manoa in the Asia study Department and today our topic is very interesting and and has been wild reported uh in United State and around Asia we're talking about the what happening at the South China Sea Professor Clark uh can you share with us some of the recent news on um South chin sea well at the moment the the main news about the South China Sea is uh the CH have the map so they can uh has two part one is a parisel island as you can see on the on the North and sple Island so uh our talk is mainly concentrating on the sply island okay uh what happens is basically in stle island is that a number of reefs uh that China is doing very large scale uh reclamations uh the news is essentially uh particular about uh China's uh reclamations uh also uh including military installations in uh one of one one of the one of the reefs um I'll talk about that a little bit more and the response to that it's a US response is a sending Navy na Navy ships and uh military airplane to patrol that area I think uh at the moment this is the tension and this is the dis disputes and it becomes not only a a issue between China and it and its Southeast Asian neighbor but also between China and us I see and uh maybe now we can uh take a look at the map number two and uh so uh historically uh some of the international trade would well this first of all let's talk about what does South China SE do uh uh International first of all is the most important is a is a trade route okay uh particularly Freights uh uh uh about over 40% of the international uh uh Freight comes through this area especially like the oil um oil particularly for China okay uh but basically China produce a lot of goods uh uh that goes over the uh um you know transfer to the other part of the world it also go through this mainly going to Southeast Asia or South Asia and Africa to as as well uh the other thing about it is uh the perhaps the next map the next map yeah maybe is the uh natural resources that that in this in in the South China Sea uh by the way this is not exhaustive uh basically in 1970 at the early as 1970 Philippine begin to explore uh the uh uh uh natur uh explor that particular area and in 76 actually discover natural gas and from there on um you know continues to to get discover more and more oil and natural gas this is particularly important in this part of the world apart from Indonesia apart from brunai none of those uh Chinese neighbor including China are rich in natural resources so this becomes a major natural resources for for these nations so this becomes a another contentious point and this is interestingly enough to see before 1970s you don't find you know claiming of sovereignty and China is one of the major claimers they were the earliest one to claim sovereignty in that area in the modern modern days so you want to go to the next map uh yes uh well this next map is just to show you uh the uh uh the the the different claim the red one is China this is so-called a nine dashes line uh China claim that uh uh um this is a this exist uh uh earlier than the Second World War uh and it has always been the claim and you can look at Vietnam the purple line uh uh what the vietnames claim of of the area all the way uh down close to Bono okay and then you can see the the third one which is uh the green one uh that is I think the Malaysian uh claim uh then you can also see um the uh that's a green one and then you can see uh Taiwan also claimed the brown brown one and of course the Philippine uh claim in the uh yellow line so they are all uh overlap each other and it becomes a huge problematic Southeast Asian uh dispute was there once a 11 dash line no that's a nine dash dash line n was it one time that the China uh make concession to Vietnam when they were in better term that uh gave up a saction I don't want to go into that because this is about a Paris Island this is in the 70s at one point of time North Korea essentially gave China the whole par and then afterwards this why I don't want to get into it's a separate subject so so uh of course you know there is a lot of complaint by uh some countries including United States that there's a lot of R re recation uh maybe the next map will show that uh the um before we do that let's talk a little bit about the methods of claim okay and that's basically three methods of of claim the first method of claim is historical evidence and this is where China uh use it extensively um the essentially they say well in the 3dr century BC there was already uh Chinese uh uh paper articles uh talk uh describing the islands about fishing in the islands and particularly in the 3rd Century uh uh uh ad uh particular in the world roaring states there are two books published in China talking about the parisel island as well the Spradley Island and the China say well we know about these Island we use these islands for fishing uh therefore even before the Southeast Asian Nation even become Nations okay uh so that's one one argument uh the uh uh there's one one kind of claim uh the second claim of claim is Administrative Department uh Philippine leads everybody else uh in 1970s and they already have a certain area or particular the area closest to Philippine uh the kakia uh uh municipality and they say well they actually set up administrations uh within the the the Philippine Administration Vietnam follows it in 1982 and my pronunciation is uh uh a little bit weak is a it's called hongs Side District cering the parel island that means we have got an Administration for that China is late China coming set up the souy island Administration in hyan Island very late in 1992 now having said that the historical evidence and administrative departments they are very very weak and not considered as uh a reason for claims so these are uh you can say that but nobody cares much about you know that in in in terms of claiming so it leads into the third most important claim that is reclamations okay can we see them see the map about Reclamation okay now this is the the complexity of them Reclamation uh you can see China's Reclamation is in red okay on the top right 10i it tells you and then the second one is that uh um Let me let me see um the the um the next one is the uh the Philippine the Philippine claim is in I think blue the Malaysian claim is in green uh the Vietnam claim is in purple and Taiwan claim is in blue okay uh so you can see that in this area uh China again coming into Reclamation late uh all these all these other nations um well uh including Taiwan uh has uh set up Reclamation Taiwan particularly in the SP Island there is an island is called typing and they actually have uh people living in there they have got Administration there they have got a government Administration there and interestingly enough in January the president Ming actually went there uh and uh use the water they say well this is not a reef because they have natural water they have got the well there they get water they have got inhabitants there that's Tai I said they have chicken running around oh yes I mean uh photograph showing him drinking water and standing uh uh next to it the typing down and and and the administrative offices and you know all all that so everybody is doing different type of things for for claim but China did it the biggest way uh particularly as I mentioned in in in in in in in one of the uh well in all of them they put down Airline strips you know and ping island has Airline strip too uh practically everybody has Airline strip I mean yeah well China is bigger than everybody else and it's also familiar aircraft okay uh uh and uh and the most threatening thing uh is that uh uh China particularly in in one of one of the reefs uh and uh um let me make sure that I I got the the right name of the of the well one of the reef that they put down um missiles sites okay this is a few months ago and then in fact you can see photograph that Miss missiles there and and there's a whole story as why China went into that and as a result China is aggressive because they they are the only nation that actually put down military inst installation which is very threatening to his neighbor and there's re reason for international presses say well well this is really alarming you know uh China is aggressor but in order to see the China's reaction we really have to see the US position in that because of because of the military uh uh installation uh uh uh us basically sent uh uh uh uh Navy Patrol uh aircraft uh Patrol periodically in that area and also that uh again uh I think this is quite clear that uh uh Japan was somehow brought into uh maybe you want to cover this right now on the uh the Asian pivot um maybe uh yeah after that maybe after the maybe after the break we talk more about that yeah okay so I think that that that's reason to make a break no no we are not going to break in for a few minutes maybe we can you can add on you know uh you said a lot of country has been doing the recommendations and I guess China is the one that more aggressive and do it and they are the they come they come late but uh but I guess you know with uh you know with all we're going to cover later on on the pivot the US side and the other nations you know uh trying to uh you know try to more or less like for some Chinese they told me it's almost like getting up you know on China you know even when China have well documented they they've been uh occupying all this island for centuries and somehow you know they say you know uh you know it may not be the way it should be right well I mean this is a China's point of view you know I mean uh indeed there there are the late comers everybody has already built a strip uh and and everybody is doing Reclamation everybody is sending people there and don't forget that another resource is this is a very very good fishing ground okay and therefore you you you will find lots of dispute is that uh uh certain Boats were uh um you know uh being taken by another Nations and uh lots of that sort of dispute because you know uh everybody said you they say well Chinese vat or Vietnamese vat coming into my territory therefore you know okay maybe we going into a break in a few second you know when we come back we're going to uh take a closer look at uh what is causing uh all this uh uh veral uh argument or or or military confrontation you know uh that's happening you know yeah and particularly why in the 2011's onward this issue becomes okay when we come back from the break we'll talk more about it okay Aloha everybody my name is Mark schav I'd like you to join me for my program law across the sea on think Tech hawaii.com Aloha hello my name is Crystal let me tell you my talk show I'm all about health it's healthy to talk about sex it's healthy to talk about things that people don't talk about it's healthy

issues and have a well balanced attitude in life join me hey everybody my name is David Chang and I'm the new host of a new show the art of thinking smart I'm really excited to be able to share with you secrets on giving yourself the smart Edge in life we're going to have awesome guests and great mentors of mine from the political military business nonprofit you name it so it's something for everybody welcome back to um T Hawaii Asian reveal this is Johnson CH my guest today is uh Professor Quark uh we were talking about the U the southeast Asia you know uh what's happening right now and also uh looking at from the US and Southeast Asia interest uh maybe Professor Co can you jump into and share us your your [Music] Insight well us also have interest interest in this area mainly uh at least us Proclaim is essentially for the trade route okay or the freedom ofation what they call yeah uh and uh I think uh uh secretary or ex secretary uh Clinton had made it very very clear uh uh make declaration very very clear that that's the main interest and indeed uh the issue or the dispute in that area threaten that that but us also uh has other type of issues the main issue is that if we talking about international relations there are basically two issue that's the most important one is the economic one through trade uh through investment the second one is about security okay that's really involved military let's talk about the trade and talk about uh um uh uh um the economic uh interest ever since uh President Bush enter into Iraq war for the first yeah and then this is uh and uh and uh President Obama's Afghanistan war America's uh uh um Regional interest in this part of the world concentrated in the Middle East and neglected this whole area well the the vacuum is essentially filled in China uh I think it is pretty well established China's military uh uh uh uh Power is way behind uh United States and way behind even Japan okay so uh uh so the Chinese way of international relations is always through economic trade Etc and China did very very well during that period uh they did trade and they did economic relationship with southeast Asia uh extremely well they are always the number one to number three trade Partners in this part of the world uh therefore the relationship with these areas are very good where us is way behind Okay so that's one area of uh uh uh us need to C catch up and uh uh particularly uh the uh uh president Omama in 2011 the the uh announcement of rebalancing Asia and this is essentially say uh us has to get back to Southeast Asia uh he didn't really very specify on what they what they're doing but essentially about trade and also about security and uh then uh following that uh that the Asia pivot and you can look look at the map uh uh that was proposed by at that time the uh the secretary CL Clinton the Secretary of State uh Bas basically uh uh this is uh actually uh this map come from uh a us uh uh uh Source uh uh shows you I mean the arrow it shows you uh the kind of military uh installation for example uh us has the number one number two largest amount of military personnel in South Korea and Japan number two is in in in NATO okay uh and uh uh you can see that uh in the in in in the arrow shows you that uh uh us has uh a security pack with uh Philippine with uh apart from Japan uh um uh um Indonesia oh no sorry not Indonesia uh uh sing Singapore uh um Australia and New New Zealand and uh basically that uh um ports are open for US military use and on the left hand side of the map and you can see the Middle East you know uh uh us as as installations and if you're looking on a China point of view this is really containment threatening very much to to to China so China had to do something about it and not don't uh uh and if you look at it China's access to the sea is mainly through Pacific and this threaten China's access to Pacific uh South China SE as far as China is concerned becomes one of those we're not talking about East China East China Sea but that's a different topic altoe East China Sea is also uh because you know if China needs to get into Pacific or or in that reason going to go down south to Indian Ocean and go to uh Africa it needs the South China Sea so it's very easy for us after Naval broadcast uh us hasn't done that but uh but us certainly has those military uh uh possibility capability to do to doess China is trying to fight to not to be uh I don't think uh let's be very careful I don't think China is putting out as fighting I see but what China is doing doing is there's potential for that okay uh uh they can do something about about it okay um when we talk about the the security policies um it is not as simple as sort of gas work and this is this is what what what what happens a us also have done a lot of saber rattling uh there are number of Naval exercise that keep on going uh in in in in in the South Pacific seas and and US constantly doing that for example uh the Valen seal if you remember the last one is 2016 that's a purely US Naval exercise uh and uh uh another is carrat c a r a uh this is the last one is 2016 this looks like that's sort annual exercise between sou uh between uh us and South and Southeast Asian Nations including Malaysia recently the the last one uh CH uh uh China was making some protest before China never make protest by the way China was invited to be observants they so they obser another is ma malaba uh 2016 and this is with India and with Japan and kinord the last one uh as as I know is 2015 with Japan and of course the big one that in Hawaii we know very very well the rim pack R uh uh this in June this year and 25 Nations and China was finally last year and this year are asked to participate and this including uh Naval uh forces from from Europe and all the southeast Asia and South South Asia the the the this is a big uh military uh play so in other words uh um China knows where they stand as well as a military in fact it's very interesting I watch a uh the Taiwan news me uh uh newscast this morning uh right now actually right now today uh Russia and China start one of the largest joint Naval exercise in the South China Sea and United St announced to have uh made ma exercise uh sending the uh the latest uh AF carrier down from Japan and Guam the same day and the way they cover the news coverage is the old day was when China do neutal exercise the US spy PR and M aircraft will will be around the exercise but today when the CH when uh us sending down the a carer China is sending up a baral of aircraft fighter Jack and long range bomber with field tank refilling capacity is watching and practicing in case they have to attack so that's from the Taiwan media so I I think that may be some truth to that well I think that's sort of saber R rattling it happens in both sides and you would find that us is in all vess is doing much more than China China did uh cooperate with uh Russia did did a couple of exercises but it is quite clearly the the US superiority is absolutely no doubt and what are we doing here now is a both side is actually playing a game the the this is a game of seeing how far we can we can go and where are where is the the the the line that we draw and what I'm trying to say is that in South China Sea uh China have drawn the line and it it seems the line is at least currently seems to be fixed you know and if you allow me I would I will go a little little bit more about about that okay now apart from everything else as you know that President Obama has been visiting uh Southeast uh Asia southeast Asia every time every nation if C comes back with a with a trade agreement but also a sec pack um the Press was never very very good in giving you the details okay but uh uh so in other words all these uh uh uh uh packed and for Southeast Asia uh and for the Southeast Asian nation is concerned this is a good thing because trade with China why not trade with us so there is a alternative uh so uh uh the the the the okay the benefit is on on on both sides right uh so what China is essentially doing is that uh this is a a game of dare okay with with us Chen yeah what China is doing now in uh putting the missiles uh in in one of the one of the reclaimed reef is essentially saying the Southeast Asian Nation none of you can touch me uh we are we can be the aggressor so forget about you know forget about it so the concentration is essentially in in in with with the US essentially saying that okay you have got all these security packs see we are okay with we we we we can we have a stalemate with the South Southeast Asian Nation we'll do it continue to with trade but what the the the the most latest news is that the Asen uh meeting this is 10 + 1 and 10 + 3 in July very very quick uh essentially China moved the southeast asan this is a conference that us is not participating and they establish trying to establish with the Southeast Asian nation is a southea conduct stand so moving away from uh uh uh sovereignty territory claim into what sort of conduct I see uh so that just to to to reduce uh uh uh conflict that's essentially the the stalemate that uh uh China has established okay I think uh we are pre at the end of the show and then uh this is a very complicated and very broad subject I I I understand that you may be doing another talk for at the University level maybe sometime in the near future if that happen uh let us know we will probably a lot of people like to go to listen to you and thank you Dr C for coming to uh Enlighten us with with all these exciting and challenging issues well thank you very much for asking me thank [Applause] you see you next uh month in uh October happy uh one Festival

NDp24DHHp6U | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDp24DHHp6U | The old country way: Let's Play Shadowrun Returns! Ep. 16 | here's the mr here's johnny clean mr clean's less successful cousin johnny johnny leans on his seemingly brand new mop and survey surveys the crowd of the union hey johnny i'm looking for where cherry took coyote the piano is a little out of tune check it out now we know what he means but we know what he let's talk to this fixture against you if there's anything he can i'm still wearing my ninja garb as you can see i need to finish this call perhaps another time that's not me making fun of him anymore that's like that that is one sentence there gotta love a big bearded dwarf with like with like with a cyborg eye in a cell phone and a cell i i i like to imagine he's got like a little stock ticker on the table just continuously printing out i don't know why you'd be using that in cell i don't know why you'd be using a ticker in 2000 a paper stock ticker in 2050 but let's head over to the piano piano looks like it's been here since the union was built but it doesn't look like anyone has played at nernus for almost as long inspect the piano play chopsticks the piano seems normal until you notice that it is very rigid upon further investigation it's because the piano is bolted to the wall a close look at the floor reveals skid marks indicating that the piano slides to the left play chopsticks all right you're a natural you should give up shadow running become a touring pianist johnny does not look impressed play g-a-f-f-c i wonder if that i wonder if that's any if that's like anything significant i mean i don't that's what i'm wondering i'm trying to think of the tune as you slowly i mean i don't i don't really know music notes so as you slowly peck the notes out on the keyboard they spark a faint memory of wonder immediately forgotten as the entire piano slides to the left revealing a hidden staircase you distend the set you descend to the stairs into the union safe house aha the entrepreneurial mrs kubota has combined everything a runner might need into a one-shop stop stopping shopping experience black market surgery high-end magical talismans and a fully stocked cyber surgery dealership i like the idea it's not it's not like a type it's not a cyber surgery lab or facility or installation it's a dealership imagine some guy in like a checkered code or something you know like what can i can i interest you in these mechanical legs owned by an old lady only took him out to walk on sundays okay here's some other fellow looks like they must be watching a game or something yeah whiz go wolves yeah the wolves are some sports team no bunks available let's have a look at these lockers okay now here's your stash you can carry up to six items at a time right right the others you can you keep in your stash and as i believe i said before if you pick up an item and your inventory is full you can either have it sent directly to your stash or you can put it in your inventory and have one of your current inventory items sent to the stash right you can also put weapons and armor you're not using here spells if you know if you're if you're a magic user you can only have a limited number of spells equipped at a time as you go up in magical ability you you can get more than more slots you're not always limited to just two spells but that's your decision slot change with weapon proficiency oh yes they do you actually start with only two okay and now notice my my drone is also a weapon slot right and also if you're a decker your cyber deck is also a weapon slot and still still still got go with my ninja hi there clothes paco stash he's got some nitro strength and willpower plus two charisma intelligence minus two so his charisma would be a mere six so he'd only be a demigod among men rather than a proper god i suppose alright okay we're good for now oh there's an arm on that table i wonder if it's hers look at that yeah dr sarah castle uh at this point i was hoping i was hoping the punisher was their surgeon or something you notice she has like some sort of imp on her shoulder medicine is practice medicine is a little different in the uh 2050s sarah castle make it quick i need to operate thanks for helping me out back there should i say looks like you could use a hand i'm going to say it ouch bad joke right now she looks down at her mangled arm a flandry too soon okay folks i'm gonna have to ask you to go sit in the waiting area watch some private or something some lady and i have work to do try it uh it's like it's like tv but three like three-dimensional no three-dimensional what kind of cyber arm she'd pay for yeah mr mitt never said what kind of cyber arm she'd pay for i want something badass got one with a laser inside you'll take what i give you young lady now let's have a look at your face leave it excuse me coyote oh he's oh there oh he's oh there he is over there yeah paco must love that yeah just leave the giant scars coyote i i have eight charisma i can't be seen with a woman with half a face that was terrible of me i earned this face by being stupid i'm gonna keep it end story whatever you say kid with one swift move she sinks a syringe into coyote's thigh nighty night now the organ harvesting hi kid all right let's talk to coyote coyote looks both better and worse when than when you last saw her notice the character portrait she's no longer got like blood spattered on her collarbone anymore that's the important part coyote looks both better and worse than you last saw her all the gaping holes are plugged and she's sporting a shiny new cyber arm but now that the adrenaline has worn off it's clear she needs some rest good morning thanks to the miracle of modern science combined with dr doc castle's magical healing powers i'm almost good as new better really they rebuilt me they have the technology nice arm thanks this is computer will have me working it off for the rest of my life she notices your expression looks like she's got something on your mind she flushes about sam watts sam watts what about him sam's dead holy trick sam i can't say i'm surprised he was on a downward spiral for a long time what can i tell you tell me about tell me about sam i heard you liked him i did he made me laugh no one else seemed to like sam's joke but i did can i ask did you guys jam that's terrible you should do it yes whoa yeah he's there's his there's his character bottle right there the boyfriend is still here see him again i saw him right there he blends it i don't know i'm just he's looking yellow i know and you'd think with his eight charisma that he would just shot he would like he would shine like the sun she smiles at pack up easy love her no it wasn't like that we were friends i guess i knew him the best of everyone here sorry he's gone he served sam the night he died what do you remember about that night it was pretty average night regular crowd as i remember sam was drinking with a guy named armitage you remember him yes jake armitage yeah you know him met him he's a charmer too she bites your lower lip i like gingers anyway jake and sam were having a few well jake was having a few sam was tossing him back but good eventually he got loud loud what he sometimes did when he mixed drinking and who knows what and mrs kubota wanted him ejected mr clue i wasn't around can't remember why i believe they mentioned earlier that he was like dealing with like a gang fight upstairs or something so some sort of gang really can't remember why so she asked jake to do the honors jake dragged him out the back into the alley and that's the last time i saw sam he said he got loud do you remember what he was saying she thinks standard sam dreck how he grew up rich and didn't deserve this how he hated his mother how he loved his mother it was pretty pathetic stuff same heaven remember what they mentioned about his mother the she died vice versa she apparently committed suicide but our friend um uh you know dr dresden the coroner he he he was not convinced of that explanation did sam have any enemies she thinks enemies that's hard to say sam partied hard and when he did he ran his mouth off pretty good got his ass kicked on more than one occasion but no i don't think he had any enemies at least at least none that i'm aware of where did sam live on the streets mostly he'd occasionally convinced someone to let him flop on their couch but he'd always overstay his welcome and get kicked out after a few days sometimes i'd sneak him down here so he could crash in one of the bunks he used one the night before i saw him last how bad was his drinking if it was just the drinking it wouldn't have been bad but sam wasn't sam wasn't the monogamous type dabbled in everything booze chips drugs he loved the nitro whatever he could get his hands on remember nitro is one of the things actually we can use like it gives you the temporary like boost to strength and like strength and will but lowers charisma and intelligence right it wasn't always like that but once he got sick he started using more and more stuff to try and forget about it sam was sick dying didn't you know yeah everybody could tell you could just look at him and see he was a walking corpse it had had to be the drinking then he disappeared then he disappeared for a while and one day he came back all better looked good even did he say how he got better he said his mom helped him out never said how though thanks coyote okay okay i'm gonna sort of like take you through my i'm not gonna tell you what happened but i'm gonna take you through like my thought process the first time i was playing and didn't know what was happening remember remember how the girl murdered at remember the girl murdered at the uh at the stuffer shack she was she was like she had very poor she had very poor sight until she apparently got a uh she apparently had some sort of medical procedure and and then she could see then she could see fine and when the emerald city ripper murdered her he took her eyes sam was dying from his drinking abuse and then suddenly he was a lot better and when the emerald city killed murdered him they took his liver right so you know i don't know at this point i didn't know what that meant but i thought well it probably means something now i need you two to do something for me what do you need babe i need you to talk to mr delilah for me about the royale run he's usually upstairs tell him i didn't get the gems maybe i can take another run at it when i recover i will actually i believe i got the gems so go me but first member uh new objective investigate sam's bunk optional deliver the stones to mr delilah first let's uh talk remember we also have that optional objective of talking to all the let's talk to mr delilah first people get some money for those gems right we can move freely between upstairs and down set me here does this guy seem like too small for that too small for the coat he's wearing yeah you might think you'd ever close you know what i'm i'm betting that's maybe that's like that's actually like two kids with one standing on the other shoulder so they can watch the stripper let's sneak in here can't imagine it's hard to get fake ids in the into the in the future let's see this mr delilah that's that was always my favorite gag as a kid two kids standing on each other well like in a giant coat yeah let's see well check out this bartender it's like a huge bald she-ogress or something it's kind of blurry for me but i was gonna say it looks like the iron sheik it's like it's like it's like lady chic lady she can singlet i don't want to know how she i don't want to know how she makes people humble same way the sheik does oh no well i don't really know meta human physiology that well so who knows all right let's see where's this delilah fellow oh there he is in the uh the yellow i mean with the yellow oh and paco's talk oh paco's talking to him let's take a look at our objectives all

safe done by the veiled Bank on off by access now anglish era career at an often and Gesellschaft and suscibe on them Timothy on impact phone technology on via censorship and mercy on site here those who had seen had welcome Catherine yeah hello it's such a pleasure to be here I think I got a little bit of an introduction just there but I'll introduce myself anyway my name is Catherine Marr I am the executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation and as you I think I got from the laughter most people here have used Wikipedia before hmm raise your hand maybe if you've never used Wikipedia before okay so you're familiar with some of the things that we do I was asked here by my colleagues at Wikimedia Switzerland specifically to talk a little bit about not just Wikimedia and Wikipedia but the open knowledge movement more generally and its impact on our societies and our hope for its future but before I do that I'm also going to just talk a little bit about Wikimedia and what it is that we do because behind Wikipedia there's a huge community of people and activity of volunteers that most people don't even know exists it's like what happens underneath the surface of the water so I want to tell you a little bit about that we're gonna go on a dive so Wikipedia of course is the Encyclopedia that anyone can edit that was the tagline for us we have a bold and ambitious vision to make sure that free knowledge is available to everyone in the world and what really drives and animates our community is a belief that first of all everyone should have access to knowledge no matter where you are what you call where you come from what language you speak but also that everyone on the planet has something that they can also offer back to knowledge that knowledge is not a static thing it's a participatory thing that we build constantly we're constantly creating new knowledge our existing knowledge is being updated and that all of us have something some sort of unique perspective that we can contribute in a way that enriches our overall shared human understanding so that's really the belief that animates us it's not just an encyclopedia it's actually a fundamental belief that there's some sort of mission in the world and since 2001 we have been passionately focused on this vision single-mindedly so 2001 was when Wikipedia was created and when our community started to grow and we're going to keep going until Wikipedia exists in every language and we've run out of things to write about but I can tell you we're a long ways away from that this is us today we started in English in 2001 but very quickly grew from language to language community to community and today we exist in more than 300 languages and include from 48 million articles and we've been edited more than three and a half billion times over the course of our 17-year history so it's quite large of course Wikipedia itself as you know if you use the German language of Kapadia or the French or the Italian or the English they're all different I think that's a critical thing that most people maybe aren't aware of so English Wikipedia is the largest it has five and a half million articles but then we have Wikipedia's that are quite small maybe with just a thousand articles that may represent an indigenous communities language and maybe the largest collection of written knowledge in that particular language so when we think about what size means we actually don't think that that's necessarily an indicator of how important a language is it just means that we have more work to do even with five and a half million articles in English Wikipedia we think estimate that there's probably a hundred million articles that should exist in the world so there's much much more of us that we can do we're only about five percent of the way done of course we're not just Wikipedia while Wikipedia may be the project that most people know and are familiar with we have a number of other free knowledge projects and I'll talk a little bit about some of them like wiki data in a bit or Wikimedia Commons but the idea behind Wikipedia was that excuse me the idea behind Wikimedia and the reason we call ourselves Wikimedia instead of the Wikipedia foundation is the idea that knowledge is much greater than what fits in an encyclopedia and encyclopedia turned out to be the easiest thing to start with it's the form factor that most people were familiar it's a written page it has illustrations it's relatively easy to explain from as a cultural concept but there's many other ways that we can think about aggregating knowledge from structured data to images to video and so that's what our Wikimedia ecosystem is really meant to do and we're really popular as it turns out every single month we receive visits from about a billion and a half devices unique devices I can't tell you exactly how many people visit Wikimedia over the course of a given month because we have very strict privacy policies in place so we don't actually track you we don't know what it is that you're looking at we don't know when you come back to us we don't know how many of those 15 billion pages you specifically read if you are reading more than a billion pages a month I'm very impressed by the way but the so we don't actually know exactly how many people we reach over the course of a month or over the course of a year but we do know that about a billion and a half devices from all over the globe visit us every single month which we estimate to be about a billion people so given all the folks on the Internet today we're really reaching a really significant percentage of the world's population it also makes us the fifth most popular website on the planet which I don't think most people realize so I'm number five it's I think that's a really nice thing I think it's an important thing that so many people actually love knowledge as opposed to just social media or videos of cats I mean I love videos of cats too but but but actually this next slide isn't is an indication of the difference perhaps in the value proposition between a video of a cat and a resource like Wikimedia so this young woman standing in the middle is a woman named naita Husain naita Hussein is a doctor from Kerala India and when she was studying as a student in medical school she found that it was very difficult for her to get up-to-date textbooks for the work that she was trying to do and it was even more difficult for her to be able to access textbooks in the local language in the state that she lived in so I believe naita is a Malayalam speak and so first of all hard to get English language textbooks they're expensive they're out of date and even harder to get access to knowledge in the language that she's most familiar with her mother tongue she found Wikipedia she liked Wikipedia and she started editing to improve medical articles but then also to translate them from English into other languages to ensure that that knowledge was more broadly and available and so today thanks to the efforts of Nita and P other medical doctors like her there's a group called wiki project med that has made fifty thousand of our most important medical articles available for free to anyone to download into an app that they can take offline wherever they go because for every medical student like naita who's actually connected to the Internet you can think of all of the needs for people from a healthcare standpoint who are in rural communities and areas where they are offline in which Wikipedia may be the only resource that they actually have it reminds us of how much privilege we have as we sit here and somewhere like burn more work widely connected and probably within a hundred metres of a medical office to think of how important a resource like Wikipedia can be in many places in the world but of course the work that Wikipedia does is not just around medical students and it's not just in India it's truly everywhere and Wikipedians keep pushing the boundaries of what we think of when we think of what an encyclopedia can do and be in our societies so this image is from Poland of the Wikimedia Poland community they hired professional ethnographers and they went into the Carpathian Mountains in order to document some of the folk traditions of those mountains to ensure that they had images and video and stories I think this is a gentleman who's making a shoe it looks like a shoe before those traditions they start to disappear in Argentina I was recently visiting our colleagues in Buenos Aires and they've been using Wikipedia to document the history of the period in which thirty thousand Argentinians were Mis went missing or were disappeared by that government by that country's military regime this is an area in which for Argentina this is tremendously sensitive the whole issue of memory forgetting and knowledge is one that has continuously part of the dialogue of the nation and so Wikipedia is a way in which Argentinean community members are interweaving their history so that the information that is available as fact-based information is available to any student of history in Argentina as they learn about their country in India our colleagues have been working to digitize works in Indic languages that have historically not been available digitally so you as you can imagine there's a very long written tradition in India there are also many different language I think languages the country recognizes at least 24 languages not in an official capacity because there are there's so many thousands of languages but 24 sort of primary languages and our communities there have been working to take some of these foundational texts from their own language groups and digitize them so that they are not only available to the world but that they're also preserved so that they're going to be available in the future for more than just academics and and librarians and more recently in Brazil I'm sure many of you are aware of the tragic loss of the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro are we comedians in Brazil have been have launched an effort to try to crowdsource images that people may have taken when they were visitors to the museum as an effort to try to reconstruct some of the lost memory and this is something that they've been calling on not just from Brazilians but from everyone around the world because they really see this as part of the texture and fabric of our shared human heritage so I've spoken a lot about the rest of my slide broke I am so sorry that is really embarrassing if it's gonna break of course it's the Matterhorn that's gonna do it but and of course here in Switzerland where you have in also a diversity of languages and communities and cultures Wikimedia Switzerland which is our affiliate here in the nation has been working to weave those communities together from across the country bringing together the different language groups in their work United around some of our efforts in inter gear integrating Wikipedia into education and into what we call our glam communities of galleries libraries archives and museums with the whole idea being how do we create a sort of sense of common knowledge among communities that of course are connected as citizens but often have very distinct identities and distinct traditions that they wish to preserve their strengthened by this collaboration and that's exactly the whole purpose of what we do at Wikimedia yes it's about documenting knowledge but it's also about weaving together the texture of our shared human heritage and as you may have picked up all of this is made possible by people of every edit that has been made to Wikipedia the three and a half billion we know that at least 22 million people have contributed to it over time as I said I don't know exactly how many people because we just don't track these sorts of things but it is the case that Wikipedia has been contributed to by individuals day in and day out and many of them have come by to drop in an edit or to fix a piece of information to add a citation and then moved on never to contribute to us again and that's okay it's a little bit like coming and dropping a stone in the bottom of the bucket ultimately raising the level of the water for all that's how Wikipedia is created every single month a quarter of a million people come by and edit and of those quarter of a million people only about 70,000 stick around day in and day out it's made possible by people people like you here in this room and it's a global movement of individuals I've already referenced all these different places from Argentina to India to Switzerland but our community is incredibly diverse we have community members in Ghana we have community members in Indian in Japan and Russia in the United Kingdom and the most amazing thing is that they are all connected by this spirit of shared open knowledge you find people sitting together in dialog from countries that you wouldn't expect from Pakistan and India from Ukraine and Russia from Palestine and Israel because they are share they share this same common spirit that knowledge should be available to all and we do it with the support of allies so this is an image of the Metropolitan Museum it's the third largest what they call encyclopedia Museum in the world after the Louvre in the British Museum and it is one of our greatest institutional partners at Wikimedia they have donated their entire collection of 1.3 million articles the images of those articles to Wikimedia Commons they made them available in the public domain and have been working with us to bring that entire collection online to enrich the content that exists in Wikipedia through multimedia experiences and of course it's not just the Metropolitan Museum we work very closely with Europeana here in the EU in order to be able to bring the tech the texture and culture of Europe into Wikimedia and we're looking to expand these partnerships all across the world as I said with galleries libraries archives and museums the traditional holders of our heritage because these holders of our heritage and culture and learning are the ones who have developed over the years such a strong commitment and public service mission we share that same sort of identity and public service mission the differences is that we have a billion people coming through our front doors every single month and so what we want to do is to be able to find ways to bring their mission to the public and the public to their missions and it's all made possible by people as well if it's built by people and supported by people it's made possible by people this is a it's a rough slide it's an image of our fundraising totals over the course of the year don't focus on the dollar amounts that's not why I'm putting it here in front of you what I wanted to really convey is this idea that everyone from all over the globe participates in making Wikipedia possible we're we receive donations from about 6 million people every single year with the average donor being about 15 US dollars that means that Wikipedia is able to stay completely independent because it's been supported by the public and because we don't own any of our content you've heard probably a lot about open source earlier today an open licensing everything on Wikipedia from the software being open source to the content being open license it actually doesn't belong to us it belongs to you it belongs to the world and then it's so it's built by the world it belongs to the world and I think what's really special about it is that it's supported by the world so if you count yourself among the supporters of Wikipedia I just want to say thank you very much as I mentioned already it's all free and open we're a non-commercial organization and we believe that openness should be open as an open to use free to use but also free is and free to repurpose and to remix if you wanted to print Wikipedia out and sell it be my guest it'd be a lot of books and the reason we do this as I mentioned is because we truly believe that it makes the world a better place that we share when we share knowledge we share a common shared foundation and it allows us to have better societies more educated societies because education is more accessible equitable and relevant when it's built and created by all more informed societies the basis upon which we can make good decisions more democratic societies hopefully societies that are more open and pluralistic and and and with the resources to determine how they want to be governed more sustainable societies with more opportunity and more opportunity that empowers people to make their own decisions and to create their own livelihoods and as I said because we do share this vision we actually see ourselves in a long line of communities of the curious from scientists who've developed the scientific method this idea that when information comes along you should actually change your opinion well Wikipedia believes that to to academics who engage in the diligent process of research and review much of how Wikipedia works is based on the premise that when you put information out there too many eyes it allows for people with similar levels of expertise to come in and correct and improve your work and as I said technology is what makes it all possible at scale you know technology has demolished many of the barriers that we have in order in that excuse me many of our barriers to communication and connection so what we do in terms of distributing knowledge if we tried to do it in books and take it along roads and get it into everyone's homes would never be possible but because of Technology it's created an opportunity for us to reach so many more people of course technology in and of itself and this is starts to get into what I want to talk to you a little bit about today it's not good or bad as as Marvin Melvin Krantz Burg's that I think this is his third law of technology it's not neutral either it's all about the way in which we use it and so at wikimedia n-- in the open community we've been having conversations lately about what are our goals to weaken for in terms of how technology is used earlier this year the world wide web world wide web foundation excuse me which is the organization set up by Sir Tim berners-lee the inventor of the world wide web found made the determination that this is the year in which more than 50% of people will be online he also made they also made the determination that the time it will take for everybody on the planet to be connected in some sort of way as 2042 and so Sir Tim berners-lee issued a letter asking us the web that we want today the web that has 15% of the planet on it what is it going to look like by 2042 and will we actually even want to be a part of it given sort of the state of the world it's a dark place perhaps it's an unhappy place perhaps it's a place where you don't have much privacy in which you don't necessarily trust the information that's being shown to you it's a place in which currently today it drives us away from each other rather than towards each other and puts us into silos where we hear the same echo chambers of our own opinions but we think at Wikimedia that oh no something yeah the 2042 could also be a much brighter space a place in which there's an opportunity for us to come together and actually think about the web that we want the open space that we want and define openness on our own terms we think that some of the most exciting initiatives actually happen when you other people together we think that when you include when you build for a web that is open and inclusive and really intentional in the way that it engages people and lowers the barriers to participation and access you end up with projects like Wikipedia you end up with projects that are in the public trust because they are served by the public trust and they are accountable to the public trust in fact some of these edge cases are what are responsible for projects like wiki data which is our open LinkedIn structured data platform it's my belief that wiki data is actually the future of what we do and it wasn't created by us at the Wikimedia Foundation it was created by our colleagues at Wikimedia Deutschland wiki data is the free knowledgebase that accounts for half of all of our edits today and has 15 million almost 50 1 million unique items in it and we believe that what wiki data offers is a way to take the world and all of its messiness and create linked and structured concepts that help connect and identify concepts across societies across languages and cultures but not just within Wikipedia in ways that actually allow us to connect to national libraries to different archives to scientific institutions because as it turns out having a structured way of thinking about the world is something that's valuable to so many more than just Wikipedians and for us wiki data is just really the beginning we think that this is something that will allow all concepts when if mmm sorry we think it's something that will allow us to connect to institutions and really think about elevating and connecting a web that is formed on knowledge a web that allows 2042 to be something that is a bright and shining future rather than that dark future that we worry about and the thing that was so exciting to us as well is that it's something that can bring together a network of institutions that already share in this mission whether it's your institutions and the work that you do or the institutions that have yet to emerge and actually think about releasing and creating the promise of the web as it was meant to be a web for creators a web for learning a web for education as opposed to just one in which I'm not going to say cat videos again and we think that this actually leads us to aim resilient and inclusive digital Commons one in which institutions of culture and government and and education and science can actually collaborate together with a greater benefit to all this is the dedication that we've had over the years I know many of you in this room are already thinking about this I know that Switzerland in particular is a country that has led the way in terms of thinking about what open participatory government can look like when I got in yesterday I had a lovely evening talking about what truly it means to have a place in which you can participate in direct democracy there are many sort of historical traditions that point the way forward and that's why it's so exciting to be here in this room right now we think of this element of coordination collaboration participation in Confederation is something that is actually true to the spirit of a commedia but also creates us and points us to a world in which we want to be a part of we think it's an audacious an audacious goal sorry I'm not sure what that side was to be an audacious goal to connect the world through knowledge and through data but I actually think it's not enough to just connect what exists what I wanted to say is that I think what we need to be doing is connecting not just exists but looking to what hasn't been is doesn't exist in the world yet today looking to the geographies and languages and communities and histories that have been left out and then actively going and seeking them out in order to bring them into our shared knowledge space if we want a web that is actually reflective of all and open to all and participatory for all then it needs to be a web that actually reflects the culture of the world not just those of us who are involved in its early creation in Europe and in North America and that's something that we at wikimedia care very passionately about because the world is changing and because the population centers that have made us strong and made the web strong are actually in decline and because the population centres that are going to point the way forward over the next century are the ones that are growing by the end of 2100 that is to say less than a hundred years from now 42 percent of the world's population is going to live on the continent of Africa so the world that we know today is a world that's going to look fundamentally different to anything that we have experienced and we think that this is a tremendous Jannetty we think this is a really exciting moment in time and it's one in which education and access to information are more important than ever we're beginning to finally understand how our connected societies can actually drive accessibility and drive creativity and participation and as I said it comes with this responsibility as well because I'm not sure I want to live in a society in which everyone walks around with these glasses on their head and we recognize that our institutions though are fragile and so as we think about the future of knowledge we really also need to be investing in its sustainability it's not enough for us to simply build a resource and think that it will be around for forever as we know the world is changing quite rapidly and the conditions in which we operate are constantly in flux we think that the Commons itself is what as rapidly as we are building it is also in falling into the risk of being endangered because the Commons that we have built is increasingly one that people take for granted like the web itself it's for hard for us to remember that 20 years ago knowledge wasn't available on our finger at our fingertips and today it is and yet at the same time the way that the web has been changing over time means that those same values that gave birth to projects like Wikipedia and open source a truly collaborative and open moment are also under threat so what I would ask of all of you is that this is the moment for participation this is the moment for you to be engaged we have agency to think about how we want to build our future we have agency to think about what knowledge should be and how we invite others to participate in it this is a moment of reflection as we think about who controls the information who controls the infrastructure and what it is that we want as we citizens as we people not users not users but as citizens and people what is it that we want out of our information society as I said we want a world in which every single human can freely share in the sum of all knowledge that's the vision statement that's the powerful animating principle upon which Wikipedia works and it's the thing that has brought all these millions of people together over the years but what I find so beautiful about this mission statement is it says nothing about us it doesn't say Wikimedia it doesn't even say Wikipedia it imagines a world in which every single human can freely share in the sum of all knowledge which means that anybody who shares this vision can join us and so I'm inviting all of you here to participate in this creation so that anyone can access anything because we're building it for ourselves certainly but we're also building it for the next generation I know they're so cute aren't they we're building it for the next generation and this is a generation that is going to inherit what it is that we have built for good or for bad this is a generation that in 2042 will point the way to our future world and we want this to be the generation that has at its fingertips all of the richest things that it could possibly have all of the learnings that we've created in the past so that they can continue to stand on the shoulders of giants and build even better for future generations to come thank you wow you do paint quite a beautiful vision for the future I hope it works out we could talk about we do have a couple of minutes left before the break and then they're actually the Lightning talks and then the break and I have a couple questions in case no one from the audience has one but I'm sure I'm sure the audience has a couple of questions to ask Matthias has the microphone you canceled off d'Artagnan teehee bazzetta skate-off yeah Thank You Catherine my name is Tobin my question is what one of the first thing you learn at university is not to quote Wikipedia so I would be really interested in your opinion on that one of the first things that I learned when I was with student before Wikipedia existed is you shouldn't quote encyclopedias in general an encyclopedia is a tertiary source and research should be based on primary and secondary sources so what we would say is use Wikipedia as a jumping-off point use it as a place to start learning it's a great place to start but it's a terrible place to finish if you really want to understand the subject but it is fortunate because it has all those wonderful citations at the bottom so think of it as a trail map to where you want to go I am I'm Eddie I would like to know what do you do so that the information can't be blocked by governments and like how obvious the information technically distributed and and is it possible to take Wikipedia down quite easily yeah I do see knowledge under threat in a way and there's many people unfortunately interested in taking knowledge down what are the countermeasures yeah I think that one of the things that I like to say is that if Wikipedia feels like an encyclopedia to you you probably live in a place where information is very safe because in many places in the world the very act of accessing open knowledge or knowledge that's meant to be truthful actually is a very radical or almost a political act and we see this with our global communities all over the globe at the moment Wikipedia is blocked in Turkey and it is blocked in China and I think that at the foundation one of the things that we invest in is thinking about how we can prevent that from happening in other places one of the things that we do to protect our users safety as we use of SSL encryption to ensure that when you're browsing on Wikipedia people can't look at what it is that you're reading but that also means that if a government doesn't like the content on Wikipedia they have to shut in order to block a single article they block the entire site that's the way that the architecture of the security works and we've made the decision as the wikimedia foundation that we do not take down or alter content because of political pressure so i think this is something that we genuinely feel is a risk at the moment and may only become a greater risk as what we think of as open societies continue to become more closed so this is i don't have an answer for that i think that that's an answer that is something that we should all be invested in is understanding why it feels the world is generally turn away from open flows of information and to closed and contentious flows of information but it's something that we as wikimedia actually believe that our our responsibility is not just to resist this trend but actually to point a path to the future which is that shared commitment to knowledge for everyone hi Catherine I'm Simon I'm an editor on the English Wikipedia salmon and have been for about 20 years I find that the Wikipedia editor community is very challenging to engage in and I've twice had to change my identity on Wikipedia to avoid harassment I wonder what steps you're taking to make it a place where the the natural instincts of anonymous human beings are expressed through bad things yeah I appreciate the question I think one of the challenges that we've seen with this is Simon's absolutely right in in articulating that the internet in general and Wikipedia as well can be a place in which participation is fraught and difficult one thing that we have found that is a little bit different compared to other social sites is that harassment looks different on our sites it's usually very smart people out intellect opposed to very nasty people swearing at each other and so the tools that we have to address that have to be more sophisticated we have an anti-harassment team that is working on looking at the way that we can change the underlying software solutions and we have a team that has been looking at what we need to do from a policy standpoint as well as a team that is invested in training Wikipedia editors to better understand and know how to deal with harassment we did a survey that found that 97% of Wikipedia editors know how to handle vandalism and only 36 percent felt like they knew how to handle harassment when they saw it so we view this as a community issue it's a human issue it's a policy issue and it's a it's a technical issue and we have we're working on all three of those things right now I'm sorry you've had that experience I slightly remember reading an article titled Wikipedia has cancer which in summary says Wikipedia is collecting more money than it's spending what how do you see the current state of this so Wikipedia is a non-profit or the Wikimedia Foundation is a not-for-profit we're a non-commercial charitable institution and every year we budget for the year that we're going to need which is primarily operating the technical infrastructure and supporting the communities as well as doing some advocacy work and then we raise money in the course of the year and it is true that some years we raised more money than we're able to spend what we'd do with that money is that we invest it in our endowment which is meant to be a way to protect Wikipedia over the long term because we rely on individual donor donations we every single year we have to raise the budget and we have about a year's worth of protection should that fail and so what we're looking at is weight creating a resource that means that if the funding cycles change or if heaven forbid there's some sort of calamity like another global financial crisis or collapse that wikipedia will be able to continue to operate even if we don't have aren't able to raise a budget so for us we view it as a shared responsibility to maintaining the site's today but also protecting them into the future and just being a financially responsible institution I thank you my name is Ruben and I I don't know how long it was how much time ago it was but I had friends that edited articles and then were quite attacked because it was the word article that's about multinationals and they have much more power to pay people and then there was a new policy that people that edit and are paid for they have to announce it and I in the last time I didn't hear much about it so I wanted to ask like does this work did this change a lot sure so what you're referring to is as you can imagine being one of the most popular websites on the planet makes us a battleground for both good and evil I guess if you want to call it that are good and bad or just human nature and there's a whole industry of people who edit Wikipedia for pay and do things like make politicians articles more friendly or improve the improve the quality of a content about a corporation and we believe that when you do that for pay that actually is contrary to the spirit of what Wikipedia is meant to be and we call what's called blackhat editing it's a violation of our policies so we did make a very clear change so that when people do that they are in violation and and it's possible for the community to kick them off the sites what we're doing right now is investing in how we can detect that more easily from a technical perspective to be able to protect our editors so that they're not constantly in conflict the we see these things come up periodically and we just believe it's very harmful to free knowledge when people are pushing paid agendas because it empowers those who have resources against those who don't hello my name is Christian and I experienced that during the last years actually the articles became too excellent they are too detailed which on the other hand means if I just want to look up something and I just want to know what the basics of it I simply cannot get the basics anymore because it's just the articles are too long so do you have any plans like providing what I call a dummy version of open topic or any any plans you have Christian Christian eh I have this problem too I went to look up the article in quantum computing recently and I had to I had to read the article on simple English Wikipedia which is meant for people who don't speak English is their native language so I know the feeling and it's actually an issue of constant debate when you describe for example the chemical composition of water do you say water is a life source that nourishes all of us on earth or do you say it's h2o and that's - you know it's two hydrogen's and an oxygen so we do we are familiar with this problem one of the ways that we've been looking at trying to address it from a technical perspective is to be able to more easily take things like summaries of articles and present them instead of the deep technical knowledge that exists so that we have more modular modular ways of presenting information and I we can see a future in which you might be able to say look up water and see images of water and then a very short description or hopefully quantum computing whatever I don't know what a short description of quantum computing looks like is but we know that on one hand we have incredible resources on science and technology and on the other hand they're completely impenetrable so generalist like me so it's an issue and we are trying to figure out how to how to let those two things exist in one place maybe in time for one more question okay thank you for information my name is Miriam my question goes to the erection that women in India much more connected to Wikipedia they are much more giving in in substance and Swiss women don't do you have an explanation for this yeah it is an issue for Wikimedia in Wikipedia that women are much much much less likely to contribute than men between 80 to 90 percent of our contributors are men and only about 10 to 20 are women depending on language we think there's a number of reasons for this one is is the issue that Simon raised which is it's often a environment that is can be contentious and what our research has shown is that women like have seemed to like to work together and more cooperative collaborative learning environments rather than contentious environments and so we're doing some research right now as to how we might work on changing some of those dynamics another one that we've identified is that in many places women just don't have access to technology in the same way even if a household has access to technology it might be technology that's primarily controlled or utilized by by the males in the household the really significant one is that women have less leisure time than men it is the case that even in even in western liberal democracies women often essentially are performing two jobs right both working in the home and working outside of the home and have less free time to contribute we've seen that problem as well and I think that these are these this creates issues because it means that the content that exists on Wikipedia is not as reflective of 50 percent of the world's population as we would like it to be and so what we've found is that in particular participation is much greater when we do offline participation so between 30 to 40 percent of participants in community organizing events and outreach are women and so we're looking at how we can invest in community alfe offline participation and social engagements as a way of creating a shift in balla and I think that that's I'd be very interested to connect you after to our Swiss community which has also been looking at these issues specifically here in Switzerland it just as a quick add-on on the 15th of November there's going to be an editor thong yeah yeah and it's specifically targeted towards articles about women so there was just a case of a Nobel Prize winner who had been on Wikipedia but then kicked off with the article had been kicked off because someone said it wasn't relevant enough etc so there's this whole issue at the two angles of like representation and what's represented on Wikipedia itself and it's very so there's going to be an editor on on the 15th of November here in Switzerland if I may add the positive of all that negative attention was last last week or the week before last was the best week for participation writing about women in the history of our time tracking oh yeah yeah that's good speaking of history so thank you very much for the question you so much I think you might have heard we're gonna have a little celebration afterwards is 20 years open source initiative so it's afterwards at 5 o'clock there's gonna be little celebration how old is Wikipedia no I can't remember gonna turn 18 in January so okay end of the teenager years then I'm not sure I'd give us a car but yeah join us I look forward to it thing and then maybe some more questions will come up and thank you so much for sharing here my pleasure thank you so much for listening community and please do participate and yeah thank you very much for coming

kuTboG1s0AY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuTboG1s0AY | Creating a Character Rig: Appendix C - Skinning | In our Creating a Character Rig tutorial, we showed you how to create a custom comprehensive character rig, ideal for movies or cinematics. However, although the rig itself is finished, the geometry is left in this broken up state known as a proxy. Proxies are used during the animation process to greatly speed up performance, but obviously they aren’t appropriate for final rendering. For that, we’ll need to skin the model. Start by setting your project to the provided scene folder, then open the file “01- Character_Rigging_AppendixC_start.ma”. This file contains our Emma character rig, along with the extra IK/FK matching and stretch locking additions from Appendices A and B. Now we’d like to replace this geometry with an unbroken mesh. Start by deleting the proxy geometry. You can do this by manually selecting and deleting each piece in the viewport. To speed things up, we’ve already placed all those geometry pieces in the geo_LYR, which you can select by right-clicking it in the Layer Editor and choosing Select Objects. Now import the file “Emma_mesh_finished.ma”. This contains a more polished version of the same mesh we started with all the way back in Part 2 of this tutorial series. Start by opening the Outliner and middle-dragging the imported head_features_GRP to the head_GEO_GRP. These features don’t deform so they don’t need to be skinned. As for the rest of the mesh though, we want to smooth skin it to the rig so that each joint will influence the movement of nearby vertices - just like your bones influence the movement of your skin. Before we begin, let’s increase the fidelity of the skin mesh. Select the mesh and go to Mesh > Smooth to increase the number of faces. You could subdivide it even further if you like, but for now we’ll leave it as is. Let’s also turn our foot controls so they face slightly outward to fit the model a little better. Now we’re ready to skin the mesh to the model. The question is, which joints should we skin them to? Remember that both IK and FK joints are for control only. Think of them as the strings driving a puppet. That puppet is the RESULT joints, which represent the character’s actual bones. Therefore, the result joints are the ones we’ll use. Like the proxy geometry earlier, you can either Shift + select all the result joints manually, or use the skin_bind_JNT_LYR we’ve pre- populated with the correct joints for you. If you look closely at the Viewport and the Outliner, you’ll see only the result joints are chosen… …except at the arms, where we’ve opted to choose the segment joints instead. This is because we'd like to maintain that nice even twist over the upper and forearms that our proxy skeleton had. Now Shift + select the geometry. Switch to the Rigging menu set, then go to Skin > Bind Skin > []. In the Bind Skin Options, make sure you are only binding to the Selected Joints, then click Bind Skin. After a few seconds, Maya binds the skin mesh to your rig. At this point, try moving some of your rig controls. You’ll notice that in some places the skin reacts properly, but in other places it doesn’t look right at all. This is because our initial skin weights (the amount of influence each joint has on various parts of the mesh) aren’t very good. We’ll need to tweak them. Return your rig to the bind position and then go to Skin > Unbind Skin to detach it from the rig. Again use the skin_bind_JNT display layer to select the correct bind joints and Shift + select the skin mesh. However, this time go to Skin > Interactive Bind Skin. As before, make sure you are only binding to the Selected Joints. This performs a similar smooth skin operation to the Bind Skin option we used before, but with the added benefit of being able to control the initial skin weights. Open the Interactive Skin Bind Tool by either selecting it in the Skin menu or double-clicking its icon here. In the Tool Settings Editor, you can see the bind joints listed. Selecting them displays their regions of influence over the skin. Red indicates regions of the skin that are heavily influenced by the selected joint, while blue indicates areas barely influenced. Grey represents areas not influenced at all. You can use these manipulators to resize or move the regions of influence. To demonstrate this, switch to the Rotate Tool and try rotating the neck joint. Notice how the rest of the head only sort of follows along, such that it quickly gets out of synch with the eyes, teeth, and hair. The same happens if you try to use the Head_CTRL. This happens because the neck joints don’t have enough influence over the head skin. In the Influences list, compare the mid2_result_JNT to the end_result_JNT. Notice their overlapping red zones. This means they’re competing for influence over the same patch of skin. Instead, we’d prefer the neck_end_result_JNT to have sole influence over the head, so reduce the size of the mid2_result_JNT. This may require you to rotate the region to scale it properly. Then scale up the end_result_JNT region so the entire head is red. You’ll want to do the same for the other neck joints, as well as the spine and shoulder joints to remove any unwanted influence. Now try rotating the neck and head controls again. This time the head follows them properly. Continue going down the list and use the manipulators to similarly adjust the influence of other joints. In general, you’ll want a red region closest to the joint itself with a nice falloff to the surrounding joints. Note that when working on left-side appendages, the corresponding right-side manipulators will automatically be adjusted to match and vice versa so long as reflection is enabled. Pay special attention around the fingers, where influence tends to bleed from one finger to another. That said, you don’t have to worry about being too precise. The Interactive Bind Skin Tool is only meant to give a good starting point for the weight painting we’ll do next. As you can see, the initial weights we got from the Interactive skin bind are much more accurate. In fact, it’s almost usable if not for a few undesirable deformations mostly around joints like the underarm, elbows, and knees. These are areas where our generalized weighting wasn’t quite able to do what we wanted. Luckily, we can tweak the weights using the Paint Skin Weights Tool. Use the Select Tool to select the skin mesh, then go to Skin > Paint Skin Weights Tool. This brings up the same list of influence joints. However, rather than adjusting their area of influence using a manipulator, this tool actually allows you to paint the surface of the skin to get it exactly as you like. By default, the Paint Skin Weights Tool displays the weights in black and white, with the opacity of the white representing the amount of influence a selected joint has on the mesh. You can turn on Use Color Ramp in the Gradient section to switch to the more familiar color gradient we saw when doing our Interactive Bind. Let’s use the tool to fix the underarm area. The two closest joints to this area are the shoulder_end joint and upperarm segment 1 joint. If we select them, we can see that the shoulder has a little too much influence on the under arm, while the upperarm segment doesn’t have quite enough. With the shoulder_end joint selected, and Paint Operation set to Replace, let’s paint a value of 0.5 on the torso under the arm. This means the shoulder_end joint will only have half the influence under the arms it does on the top of it. Next select the upper_arm_seg1 joint. Spread a very low value (0.01) a little further under the arm. Now rotate the arm down. Select the shoulder_end joint again and reduce its influence under the arm itself. If you find the Viewport too cluttered, temporarily disable the display of joints. Once the general deformation looks right, use the Smooth operation to even it out. Once you’re satisfied, select the mesh and go to Skin > Mirror Skin Weights. Use the One to one setting, since we know the left and right-side joints line up perfectly. Sure enough, if you check the corresponding right-side joints you will see the same skin weights. Now you can lock those entries in the Influence list to ensure you don’t accidentally tamper with them again. From here, you just need to continue testing joints in different positions and painting skin weights until all the deformations are correct. While painting in certain areas, you may notice that the mesh doesn’t maintain its volume the way it should. This can hold especially true for areas like the elbows and knees, which lose a lot of volume when rotated. Part of the reason this happens is because the Classic Linear algorithm we used for the skin bind process isn’t always the best for areas like this. Thankfully, we can switch to a different algorithm for these specific spots. Select the mesh. In the Attribute Editor, go to the skinCluster tab. In the Skinning Method dropdown, you’ll see three options: Classic Linear, Dual Quaternion, and Weight Blended. Classic Linear is appropriate for the vast majority of the mesh, but we’d prefer to use Dual Quaternion for joints that pinch together like the elbow and knee. Choosing Weight Blended will allow us to use both at the same time. Return to the Paint Skin Weights Tool. Now in the Weight Type field, you can choose to paint Skin Weights, or Dual Quaternion algorithm regions. Switch to DQ Blend Weight mode. Now paint around the left elbow. Immediately you’ll notice that it helps the elbow maintain its volume. Use the smooth tool to gently fade into the surrounding Classic Linear regions. Then switch back to Skin Weight mode to clean it up a bit more. You can do the same for any other regions that lose too much volume during deformation. At which point you will have a character ready to receive animation. For more information on how to transfer animation from the proxy rig to this skinned mesh, see our tutorial on Non-Destructive Animation Editing. | Maya Learning Channel | UCHmAXsicpLK2EHMZo5_BtDA | 2016-11-23 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,732 | 9,981 |
OvwZnME43mI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvwZnME43mI | Subsistence Ep5 | hello folks and welcome to the channel this survivor marty so i killed a i kill a wolf because i was fed up of not having food so i killed a wolf i've also lost a water jar i just had to make a new one i don't know where the other one is maybe i'm being blind but i can't see it anywhere so yeah i've lost a water container somewhere ah that's so much better look at that now we just need to sort water which we're working on and then we'll go out on a nice serious run and try and get some resources i want wood but i'm more interested in getting boxes if i can boxes are what we need now obviously cordage because we've actually started to run out of cordage again but we only this would happen cordage is very important it gets used for everything absolutely everything so i've watched a video on fishing i may be able to do it i'm not sure uh we'll have to wait and see basically we'll have to wait and see time will tell as they say time will tell cordage thank you box there but there's two animals guarding it i don't don't fancy it there's an arrow box so if that bear wasn't there it would be all right but that bear is there there's nothing i can do about that there thank you geez louise how much time have we got yeah we might be able to kill that burden if we can see it is yeah he's right there he's just at a visual range because he's behind the bloody tree this is really annoying where is he he's trying to jump up oh no he managed to jump up no that was not what we wanted that was not what we wanted at all well it's happened there's nothing we can do about it we just need to um move on obviously go back to our body and get get the errors and stuff back because they're very important to us but uh yeah we were brown bread the animals aren't supposed to be able to climb on top these rocks that's the whole point of them well the bigger rocks anyway um the smaller rocks they can get on i know that well at least we're getting more arrows as well which is nice um oh look a worm tree here we go there we got that one tree now so hopefully we'll find more boxes in this run boxes would you know we need it all so i'm going to stop a little bit more frequently this time to get wood because we're going to need it for building to extend the base basically i've got a nice idea of what i want to do with the base where's my dead body this way we need to think about building a pickaxe soon as well wolf there chest here he comes that way then i'll skirt around he's still over there oh he's going that way so maybe he might leave that box alone come on you're not far enough away from that box yet come on leave the box alone can i get it oh god okay that was dangerous it's more dangerous than i wanted it to be but we got the box so yeah that worked in our favor i guess and we'll carry on going this way stop and occasionally need to get trees and fiber there's a box down there we'll go and have a look at and two bits of fiber that's nice that's what oh you were not there a second ago oh god out of there okay not what we want not what we want no what we want just keep running just keep running just keep running no bear no bear no bear no bear leave me alone leave me alone you should have left me alone by now he's should have given up chase he's still behind me yeah he's still there which is actually quite unusual they usually give up chase after a short time well the other way that's the main thing now we've lost our dead body marker we have lost our dead body marker all right let's open the map i don't see it where is it it was to the right of the base wasn't it don't tell me that we've lost it because that would not yeah it's only about an arrow but it was a lot of errors which i could do without losing let's see if we can see it from where this worm tray is well we grab this worm tray anyway because we need to get it there we go [Music] where are you you growled at me closer than you need to be oh god okay no away just keep running i really need to start putting a bandage on my health there so it's there in an emergency didn't even get to pick up that metal because there was a bear right there still have no depth marker now um it shouldn't have disappeared either everything i think is it's behind us somewhere it is okay somehow we got in front of it i don't quite know how that happened but now we will head back to it or head in its direction whilst avoiding wildlife maybe we ran over it earlier i don't know that would that would be if it's weird though if we'd have ran right over it i don't think we did i think it's up on this rock here somewhere i hope that the bear's gone no the bear's still here okay well take it all where the heck's my gun where the heck's my gun you can't fall like no you don't drop what you've got in your hand i know that somewhere that's annoying we have somehow lost a gun i don't know where maybe it broke that was low on on hp but that would be very weird if it just broke on me like that thank you there not there um rabbit another one there if we can get it run right over some metal for me thank you you've also led me to a bit cordage are you running away or not [Music] mm-hmm beautiful take a rabbit well we've got some food at least and some cloth so we can make some clothing and probably another water bottles we seem to have lost the first one i don't know how stuff is disappearing it's a little bit weird it is a little bit weird all right so now we need to find a chicken really don't we it's got four hours left though that a chicken wouldn't hurt for some more feathers let's get into base butcher the two butch up the rabbits cook up cook up the rabbits i make up another water bottle yes because i'm going to need to shouldn't have to but add 10 more logs to that lovely eat the berries i've got any more berries have i oh i have eat the berries fill up the two jars here jars canteens still nothing in the fish trap probably need to put that fish trap actually further into the water as well um let's eat eat fantastic just put the cloth away record it away for now put the planks away the nails away it grubs away i don't need it out i'm putting it away basically just waiting on the water oh i actually don't need that either oh look at that see that's what we like oh we're still making flanks okay all right let's go and see what boxes we can get this box over looks a bit could be totally wrong but i thought it looked like a box that's cordage which is good okay it wasn't a box i thought it was it was metal but there's a box which might be interesting there might be nothing which it was nothing unfortunately i want building boxes because we need nails we need a lot of nails let's see i'll take ammo boxes as well when they come up because i'm gonna need them gonna need everything basically so yeah this is episode five so far things are going okay they're not brilliant because we're not finding the boxes but minus that things are going okay minus the lack of a lack of resources things aren't going too bad come on yeah we'll go up to that one tree shall we yeah go up to that worm tree if we can the wood from the worm tree would be good as well so yeah yeah we're gonna need a lot of wood i think that is that a worm tree or is that just a no i think that is a warm tree as well there's another one down there all right well we'll get them because wood and crabs but mostly wood when you do need a lot of wood and cordage more quarters is that an animal yes it's a wolf yeah i know you've given me your growl so you keep your growls to yourself mister and i will keep my limbs of my body to myself and come around this side so i don't get in your way and still looking for boxes over the landscape as well need to get this before he comes back down no no control over the speed of getting free so it really doesn't make a fine bit of difference you know the tree is three hits per log that's what it's set to i heard you but i don't see you which is not good not good at all i saw you you're right next to a box which is bleeding annoying but there's nothing you can do if they're next to a boxer next to a box i can't magically move them out the way unfortunately i wish i could i really do wish i could oh yeah you can play this with animals off if you want to you know food will be an issue but yeah you can play with animals off um what month for when april okay we're in the summer it's the uh winter we got to worry about we need to start thinking about winter time soon as well that will be a couple of episodes away yet it's not like we have to think about it this very episode there okay if i'm missing boxes please do tell me thanks because yeah as much as i think my site is good if i'm not seeing something i kind of want to know about it because then i can review the footage and try and work out why i couldn't see it um so yeah if if i miss something and you try if you can timestamp it for me that would be fantastic but i don't think i missed the boxes not intentional if i do how many nails oh nice that's um that's more flanks needed that should at least get that no we're gonna need more wood again anyway for the for the fire i'm gonna need more quarters i think as well yeah we're going to need more cord which i think all right folks well the sun is starting to set in the land of subsistence so it's probably as good a place as i need to start thinking about winding the episode up uh can we build a door at long last we can and another wall profitable how many miles have we got in here and build two wilson three walls okay three walls it is yeah i think we've got enough planks to build free walls so free walls it will be there will be a wall here a wall here and maybe a foundation foundation takes 12. so no it'd be two walls a door now we're already building the door so that'll be two walls one more two wall and we're two now short of a foundation which is a shame but we can't do what we haven't got so we'll we'll do what we have got which is two walls oh we're sure short and cordage uh cordage only just got enough so we don't need those two i think yeah so we need that one and then everything else can get built as per needs come on correct right um can we build anything here yet anymore what's the next thing we need to build i think realistically it's going to be this the power storage or maybe the small power generator yeah i don't know it will be something that will build put it that way we have a door note i know we're still not sealed in and it still is a bit weird but let's roll with it we're getting there oh wait can i build the other roof then yeah no because i don't have the cordage that's the cordage oh i do have the cordage yeah we do have the coolants sweet all right so come on thank you so we'll get the other wall bill the other roof and then yeah and then we'll get the middle bit built next we're getting there definitely getting there this is actually not doing too bad um we're short on planks four flanks and we'll check the rest of the wood into there how's the fat in that's rendered down nicely yeah got some more biofuel there one stick we can add to that we got five of those that's not too bad actually now i'm gonna cancel those i will put them back in to be done after we've done the roof but yeah i'm gonna end the video here folks uh i'll put the rooftop on off camera because it's just a rooftop thanks for watching subscribing um hitting the notification bell thanks for coming in you know it's fantastic uh let's uh let's have many more fun uh the next video after this video will be ostriv tomorrow at 10 a.m uh it will be episode four

A75eyyAs5cI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A75eyyAs5cI | Global feminism | Wikipedia audio article | global feminism is a feminist theory closely aligned with post-colonial theory and postcolonial feminism it concerns itself primarily with the forward movement of women's rights on a global scale using different historical lenses from the legacy of colonialism global feminists adopt global causes and start movements which seek to dismantle what they argue are the currently predominant structures of global patriarchy global feminism is also known as world feminism and international feminism two historical examples global feminists might use to expose patriarchal structures at work in colonized groups or societies are medieval spain late 11th to 13th centuries and 19th century cuba the former example concerns women of the mudajar communities of islamic spain and the strict sexual codes through which their social activity was regulated mudajar women could be sold into slavery as a result of sexual activity with a christian man this was to escape the deemed punishment because of their simultaneous roles as upholding one's family honour and one of conquered status and gender mudajar women suffered double jeopardy in their sexual contact with christians in spain 19th century cuba can be looked at as an example of colonialism and neocolonialism working together in a slave-based society to affect women's lives under patriarchy where cuba remained a spanish colony while enduring a neocolonial relationship with the united states havana a city noted for its absence of the female form had of all the major cities in the west dot the most strict social restrictions on the female portion of its population upper-class cuban women were a constant visual reminder of the separation between elite white society and the people of color they ruled topic transnational mothering forced commitment to double shifts struggle for individual autonomy and blurring the private and public sphere of labor are all additional concerns to the primary issue for migrant women which is the right to motherhood the phenomena of motherhood in a transnational and contemporary time creates structural constraints for migrant women abusive employers and intimate violence is not the only problem these women have to face but there are structural issues regarding the right to motherhood in this transnational era women immigrants leave their chance overseas at an idealized motherhood of watching their children grow up while performing their gender role and deport to be the breadwinner the restructuring of care from the effects of globalization and neoliberalism institutionalizes these women globalization is constantly changing and as a result it is supporting the phenomena of women in the global south migrating to developed countries to serve domestic laborers the role of transnational mothering within a neoliberal spectrum affects the exploitation of women through the deprivation of their citizen rights by extracting the benefits of immigrants labor while minimizing or eliminating any obligations whether social or fiscal to the society or state migrant women of third world countries are not drawn from their countries to the advancing economy of the first world rather drawn from their economies that have been disrupted and distorted by western colonial incursions leaving many to be torn free of their roots and recruited to countries to fill its non-permanent labor needs preventing competition with native workers fulfilling the complementary void transnational mothering is viewed as an accommodation for both classes motherhood along with reproductive freedom and marriage is the fundamental right of women but is prohibited by nations that justify foreign domestic services as much as view immigrant women as a threat to its nationalism nations create a process of racial formation through which women of different national and racial identities experience discrepant integration within a society ultimately contributing to hierarchies of citizenship in relation to social darwinism natives believe that third world migrants just can't make it and fear degeneration thus nations try to weed out those who do not fit the upper or middle-class society in ways such as sterilization e.g black women are identified as devious immoral domineering sexually promiscuous and bad mothers resulting in their reproductive rights being threatened by regulation see also feminism rawa transnational feminism

FH3_2SxreBQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH3_2SxreBQ | RUDE WAITRESS?! - STORY TIME | hey guys what's up it's candace and today I have another story time video for you guys um i haven't uploaded in a while because i was on vacation as some of you may know i went to california so that was really really fun and um actually housed in a lot of clips i think i have like 100 clips or something on my phone of just really cool I don't know just random clips so I'm gonna put them all together and then adds music / I make a good cool California video um so if you guys want to see that leave it in the comments I probably stop loaded in any way but yeah if you guys do want to see that make sure leave a like on this video to show me that you want to see it and you like cookies and don't think he's usually like anyway but um I have a story time for you guys this has happened before we went to California I do have a couple stories for you in California just small ones but they were so funny but this one's kind of like mood and basically it's about this really really really rude waitress I said really so many times she was so rude to us I'll me my mom a Buddha like brand morning and we all did a very good waitress who really mean so I'm going to tell you guys about that now so basically me and my mom is like three in the morning and it was in summer obviously I haven't started school yet i start school monday depending on this video is gonna be out but yeah and basically me and my mom went to go get food I like three in the morning because it's casual and we're hungry so we did I went to this local restaurant um looks like around my house so I'm not going to say the name but it's just a local restaurant and you know it's restaurant waitresses should be nice to you right so we went in there we got our food whatever my mom got like french toast or something um and I got french tips as well and we got like powdered sugar on it and whatnot but the thing was the powdered sugar didn't taste like powdered sugar at all it tasted like salt or something or like pepper it was really disgusting and I'm not agree with me that tasted like that so wasn't just me being like a [ __ ] saying it tasted like that like it actually tasted disgusting so I didn't like it my mom just ate it without the powdered sugar but personally I don't like french toast without powdered sugar so I didn't even eat mine because I didn't want it after that because it was disgusting plus they put it already like all my french toast so my mama just ate hers and hers is fine she didn't really care but mine was disgusting and I was not and I mean not going to pay for it even though I wasn't really paying for it was my mom I still think you shouldn't pay for him that's disgusting you don't even eat like this gross so basically we told a waitress about how our food was disgusting and she's like well that is powdered sugar I don't know how to tell you and I was like well can you give me like I didn't say anything basically I was just kind of thinking that and that she just said well yeah I don't know what to tell you I was like okay mostly um I think a waitress would be like can I get something else um you want to take that off like your order something like that but she did but she basically just said she doesn't know to tell me like I don't tell you your french toast tastes like ass but then so we go up to pay after I don't really eat much my french toast so I was kind of still hungry which I was pissed off about but I didn't care enough to like get more food so I've enough to pay and she charged us for both so I was like and my mom we kind of both were like why are you charging us for the one that we didn't even eat it was disgusting you should kind of be happy that we're paying for one of them because they were gross and then the lady goes well I don't know what to tell you I didn't make it like I didn't say you made it like when did I say you were like the french toast [ __ ] maker at this rush drive didn't claim you made the french toast lady like I don't know what to tell you but I didn't [ __ ] like it so can I please not pay for it an assailant but then she basically said to us um well you ordered it and then I said or my mom said well yeah we ordered it but we didn't know I was going to taste like this like on the menu it did not say asked flavored french toast or I don't think it would have handed it to be completely honest with you so basically after that she got her manager and her manager came over and acted like a complete [ __ ] to us as well we just continued act nice because I'm not the type of person to act referred to someone even if they are commuted to me until they like really pissed me off and this is just minor so I wasn't like trying to kill the woman or anything um so basically she just took it off our order and she was like talking about us while we were leaving like you could tell us you're talking about us and we kind of just left but basically I thought it was a really really terrible experience because i don't see why somebody went out back by got to one of their customers especially someone who's paying to go to the restaurant and have a sleeper french toast so let me tell you no not good so yeah you guys have any weird experiences or like mean waitress experiences or terrible restaurant experiences at all I know I've had some weird ones let me know in the comments below and let's sleeping at this video to 200 light and if we do then i'll give you guys all hugs and cookies and throw

cFgSoc4cQis | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFgSoc4cQis | Discussion on Justification with a Lutheran Pastor | [Music] do here we go [Music] welcome to the reasoning theology show everyone your host michael lofton on a friday evening joined uh here i'm going to bring him on in just a moment pastor brian wolfe mueller he is returning guest he is a lutheran pastor pastor of st paul lutheran church and if y'all recall we had a very very good discussion last time talking about differences between catholics and lutherans doing so in a charitable way but still addressing the issues and not dancing around them pulling no punches but again doing so in a charitable way so we're going to continue that discussion today we're going to be diving into the topic of justification and also perhaps the marian dogmas if time permits and then towards the end if y'all want to send chat questions that will be great just make sure to let me know who which which one of us it's directed to i'd prefer that you direct it to our guest because y'all normally can ask me questions all the time but you don't always have pastor on here so uh maybe direct your questions to him preferably but we will be bringing him on here in just a second for our discussion coming up next pastor how are you you got some great pre-roll and you could see when you were zoomed in that you've got a ladder in your library i do you shall not cover your your neighbor's library ladder i'm going to work on that the whole show you should see the one over there for that library that's right so that's a little bit taller and more books over there but here i have most of the hardback so i got the fancy yeah the ones that look nice the apostolic fathers and yep it's great but you got a nice one too it looks like a pretty pretty large library actually this is my home library i got one a church a tower studio at church too so wow but uh i inherited a library so i had to get extra shelves it was great it was that's the best thing to inherit right yeah hey uh i hear you i would love it i was i received these by grace through faith they were not works of my own all right let's lest you boast right i'm still kicking myself um in the head because quite a while back when i converted uh from presbyterianism to catholicism i gave a lot of my reformed books away to my reformed friends yeah and i should have kept them i don't know what i was thinking but actually staged catholic i was definitely cage stage catholic i should have kept them i was a little too rather than a trent approach to the library it took some time for me to just kind of settle down and balance out but yeah whatever i did i just oh i should have kept those i had calvin's complete commentaries all kinds of good stuff anyways so let's dive in here we're talking about justification you know when it comes to the catholic perspective let me explain how i understand it and then maybe um you know tell me about how you understand it and maybe some of the criticisms that you would have with the catholic perspective and why you know just very very briefly the way i understand justification is that um in when it comes to what we would call initial justification the initial moment where we go from a son of the first adam to the second adam being uh born under the kingdom and domain of satan to being born again in christ and his kingdom and his domain in that transition that initial transition we would say it's by faith it's by faith alone we don't bring anything to it we can't merit anything for it it's by grace it's by faith we would say that however that it's a an informed faith a faith that um is accompanied by uh hope and charity so it's not just an intellectual assent kind of faith it's the theological virtue of faith that's informed by charity and hope but it's a it's entirely you know entirely gratuitous on god's part so there's nothing we do to merit it it's 100 god now that's what we would say for initial justification that initial moment where we go from we're on our way to hell to on our way now if we were to die in that moment we would we would be with god in his presence in heaven um but then we talk about okay well if you continue to live in that moment and you don't die we can talk about increases in justification so i mean we're still justified we're still righteous we're still going to heaven but we could talk about an increase in justification where whereby one is more righteous than another and it is by yes by grace but there is a cooperation there is a synergy at that point with man's will it's still by god's grace but there is an increase in righteousness there which might be a little different than what y'all are saying because y'all would say it's there's only one justification there's no subsequent increases and the way i understand the lutheran position y'all would say it's entirely an alien righteousness so there couldn't be an increase because it's all jesus's justification to begin with which isn't gonna change um but i would say yeah that applies for initial justification it is an alien righteousness but it is being imputed to us and then infused as well uh so it causes a change in us as well it is it is being reckoned to us it is being imputed to us from an alien source but that imputation automatically infused into us changes us also justifies us and we can increase with justification that is how i understand it let me hear the problems with it that you have no i think i thank you for articulating it so clearly i mean and i think and i would i don't think i could have articulated the catholic position the roman catholic position um that clearly but i mean that's from what i've heard that sounds good um it'd be interesting if people who are watching and who are informed in catholic dogma would you know would quibble with your definition yeah um uh but i i would say so here i maybe bring the critical question this way uh when we appear before the judgment seat of god what is presented as evidence and and i i would say that um so not speaking of initial justification but now here final justification or rather just simply the the declaration that comes from god's judgment throne that what is presented to god in that moment for each christian is not is simply the suffering and death of jesus christ alone and and his merit his perfect life his atoning sacrifice his blood and that alone stands as the um as the basis of the verdict which the lord speaks and all of our works which follow justification which follow the gift of baptism and the gift of the holy spirit all of those works which are worked in us by the grace of god through his power in our lives all of those are excluded they are not presented as evidence as our as the case for our righteousness and and the lutheran church would say that that's a that's the key difference and that's the explicit teaching of the scripture that when it comes to how a man is is to stand before the judgment of god he is to abandon his own righteousness like saint paul says all that righteousness according to the law i consider filth so that i might have the righteousness of christ sure or we hold that a man is justified uh by faith apart from the works of the law or all those texts all those texts that separate off our works from faith and justification is speaking of that now we would say that faith is never alone faith is not dead faith not only receives the promise of forgiveness but also receives the holy spirit who is busy and active and and the the christian life ought to grow in faith and good works and uh that those even will be rewarded in heaven but that that deck the case that's when it comes to the judgment of god um is and this is why this is so i think critical michael you got to tell me what you think about it because because the danger that the lutheran saw and not only that it was false doctrine to mix in our works as in the case for our righteousness because what you've done is you've mixed clay with with with brass or iron or what's the picture you mix clay with the metal so it makes it unsturdy but it it that works backwards so that so that the the idea that um that justification the judgment of god is based not only not alone on faith but rather also on my own works that has a bad effect it works it works uncertainty in the christian heart uh in the christian life in christian confidence and and it begins to undermine faith so that i can't have that confidence or that certainty that that god is good and gracious to me a sinner well i think that we we can't have uh confidence because we we could be morally certain whether or not we've committed some kind of grave sin against god that would cut ourselves off from friendship with god so i think we could still have that assurance um i mean we we no okay did i commit adultery recently or something like that and i haven't confessed my sins you know we we can have a moral certitude whether or not we're we're still in friendship with it with god so this i've been reading so in the lutheran and i've i'm on to something new in in the lutheran fathers that i haven't been on to uh until just recently and so i'm just starting to poke down this but you just reminded me of it and that is this idea of um the scrupulousness of the conscience as it faces death so the basic our basic thought about ourselves is that we're basically good so you know you go and you ask a person hey are you a good person and almost everyone says oh yeah i'm a you of course i'm a good person i i you know especially the unbelieving pagan says yeah i'm a good person that's our default thing but that all starts to turn around when someone is faced with death and the imminent judgment of god and it was the i think it was most especially the early lutherans working as pastors and being there with people who were preparing to face god's judgment that they had to recognize that it's not enough to say well i haven't committed adultery lately because i have thought lustfully and jesus says that's the same it's not enough to say i haven't ended anybody's life because jesus says if you're angry then you've committed adultery and that you've uh that you've uh murdered that person uh any false the the judgment of god is a fierce judgment and the people ran from mount sinai for good reason i mean the lord says you were right to say only moses you come up here and listen to this because the law of god is a um his holiness is a is a is a is a terror to every sinner but there's this uh okay so maybe i'll pause there because i'd i mean i love you well i mean i i totally agree as far as adultery adultery can be done in the heart um by just simply lusting after somebody or being angry with somebody you can commit the sin of murder and you could separate yourself from friendship with god even just by something that is an internal ascent to those those uh sinful desires so if you're willfully in consenting uh to you know lust yes you've committed a grave sin and you need to go to confession you should not have moral certitude that you're in god's friendship you've violated god's law and broken uh the friendship with god but but at what point michael do i have the certainty that i am a friend of god how does that come well i mean first of all initially that that's generally going to come from baptism of course although i'm not saying just because somebody hasn't been baptized they couldn't be justified that's not the catholic position but there's a general certitude of if if i've been baptized i've received that grace now since my baptism have i've been committing some kind of grave sin if i have then i need to confess my sins and of course god is faithful and just to forgive us our sins if we do so and he will cleanse us from all unrighteousness and i can know i'm in good standing with him because god has given me his grace through the sacraments no i mean we could talk about exceptions where if you're unable to reach the sacrament of confession or something um an act of contrition would would suffice god's not going to say no you didn't make it to the confessional so we're not gonna forgive you but uh so i would say that is how we could have that assurance is we have the sacraments we know whether or not we're putting some kind of major impediment and obstacle between us and god after receiving those sacraments um and also i could say as far as the person who's on their death bed and you know uh scribbling over their conscience and that's something i could definitely understand because i've dealt a lot with scrupulosity in the past um so i can i can relate i can understand but ultimately that person who is you know in their late age and they're about to die they can have assurance and confidence so they can have joy and they could do so not based on oh well have i merited enough have i increased in justification enough who cares that that's those increases pertain to greater degrees of glory the initial basis of you being in god's friendship is is by christ and what he's done for you and that being given to you uh so you you can rest assured you're you're in god's friendship now uh some have you know done more works in righteousness and in grace than others and will uh reap a greater reward but as far as just me going to heaven uh i can rest assured and and trust in god in his mercy and what christ has done for us i don't have to screw point my conscience and say oh have i done enough no of course you don't have to have that position no you you need to be trusting in christ what he did for you is sufficient you're you're in good standing unless you just know morally certain you've you've committed some grave sin and you're refusing to confess it at that point yes you do need to be concerned i would say somebody who's been justified and they commit some kind of grave sin full knowledge full consent is is required in order to break that friendship with god if they do so with full knowledge and full consent and they are unwilling to repent of that they do need to fear god's judgment absolutely and i know that's probably where we would have a difference no oh i would agree with that okay so i would say that that person definitely is in danger and and you would know it you would know i have unconfessed grave sins on my soul so i'm i'm not worried about the uncertainty side i'm what i'm i think the difference is on the certainty side in other words you know how do how will i stand on the judgment day and if and it and if michael you're saying that that if someone there on their deathbed says i'll stand before the judgment of god not because but because of christ and christ alone because of his because of his promised grace and mercy that because of initial justification i would say that initial justification is justification and if that's the case then what's all this other business i i think there's then it becomes a confusion that what you would call growth in good works and sanctification we would disagree i think about infused grace and about what it means but here's the question is are those works that the christian does infused by god's grace uh through the sacramental life of the church or whatever are they meritorious and that's where we i think that's the disagreement there say there's you cannot you can add nothing to the case that christ has made it his it is finished on the cross excludes um excludes that in fact it in it necessitates that we that we add nothing else to it and if we try to if we try to add or supplement the the grace of god in christ if we say well it's true christ is our mediator but also let's just just to make sure let's just pad the case with a few of the good works i've done then what we've done is we've lost christ so that's the argument that paul makes in galatians where he says having been justified by faith now you seek to be made holy by the works of the law you've fallen from grace so that christ is the beginning and the end and that and that holding on to him as our as our soul mediator that's the that's where our christian faith and confidence comes from yeah there's a lot there that i would agree with but there are some things that i would say we we would have a fundamental uh difference on we we could talk about how um all right let's talk about galatians and in romans it talks about the works of the law and especially you know you you've you've started with the holy spirit but now you're returning back to the works of the law what are you doing basically galatians i agree with that of course it but we need to understand what his works of law mean we're so law in this context refers to circumcision or any of those jewish boundary markers so what effectively is going on is i'm i'm not we're not necessarily talking about moral works works done in in grace or charity we're talking about something uh that is done as like circumcision or uh keeping the sabbath those kinds of jewish boundary markers if you return to those as if they are salvific and meritorious after having been justified then you you fall under that condemnation there in galatians it's a little different from uh moral works done by grace christ doing them working in us it's a little different than what paul is talking about those those moral works how so i i know that for i mean also from jerome um and that's been revived i'd be interested in this michael did you get into this new perspective on paul when you were still a presbyterian or a little bit new new perspective on paul federal vision those those guys a little bit but um it it influenced me some but it wasn't some kind of major game changer for me but i but i can still say that yes at some points uh in the new testament when paul talks about the works of the law it may be referring to good works as well right um so we we we could still say that it does in some context but here's the distinction if i were to say some good moral work that i'm doing in and of itself justifies me whether initial or an increase in justification that's false sure even the moral works that we're doing are being done by grace sure right and it's it's the grace yeah the key difference between the roman view and the lutheran view is not about the grace alone but the faith alone right that's that you know that's why that's a big and for the increase in justification if i had just been initially justified and i were to die in that moment i don't have any good works that i've done right i have none but in that moment i enter immediately into the presence of christ into heaven yeah how how would you make that that argument i'm just kind of that the when that the works of the law refer to the ceremonial works of the old covenant uh repeat that for me one more time yeah where does the argument come from that the the language works of the law yeah refer to the ceremonial works of the old covenant and because i'm thinking specifically like verses where paul says love is the fulfilling of the law and the law is summed up in these you shall not murder you shall not commit adultery so that in romans 10 for example paul's language in law is referring to the entire law not the specific ceremonial parts of the law and and i i just want because that argument it was made by jerome it's always been made against the lutherans that when you say apart from law apart from works uh that distinction between faith and works that that the law and the works there is talking about the ceremonial works and i've just never i've never understood the case it seems like you're bringing something to the to st paul there you know there there are some contexts in saint paul where he is referring to works that refer to all kinds of works not just jewish boundary markers but including moral works and what he's talking about is these any kinds of these works whether they be jewish or moral if you're doing them apart from grace they do not merit anything but then at other points he is specifically talking about the jewish boundary markers you look at romans 4 and also galatians the immediate context is circumcision in media context of circumcision and so i would say that's when he's specifically honing in on those boundary markers but that term doesn't always apply to just you know uh boundary markers they could pertain to more works but we would just say yes those moral works don't justify anybody if they're not done in grace and that is what he's getting at he's getting at those who were trying to merit something apart from grace i was i was just looking at this text i'd be interested in your thoughts so this is philippians 3. um so the whole there's a kind of beautiful argument he's talking about his confidence in the flesh and so he's talking about everything all his old stuff what is verse seven those things that were gained to me i count as lost for christ and then this verse eight year doubtless i count all things as loss for the excellency of the knowledge of christ jesus my lord so he says those past things that i did when i was pharisee i count those as loss all those jewish circumcision stuff yeah but not only that but the things that i have right now i count so it moves from past tense to present tense i count all things as loss for the excellency of the knowledge of jesus my jesus christ my lord for whom i have suffered the loss of all things and i count them as dung that i might win christ and be found in him not having my own righteousness right which is of the law that's the key but that which is through the faith that which is through faith in christ that's the key righteousness which is of god by faith that's the key right there again any kind of works that i were to do right now if it's not being done in christ it is done and i do not count as right but but certainly but paul was talking about the works that he was doing in christ he was talking about i mean he there paul is i mean he's being you we know all know the works and triumphs of saint paul it's glorious i mean his life is and those things that he was doing even the good works that he was doing as a pastor an apostle and a christian even those things he says i counted loss and he contrasts that with the the righteousness of christ so saint paul says i've got all these works i've got all this right he says like all times i don't know anything against me and nobody can judge me i can't judge myself and yet that doesn't matter because what matters is the righteousness of christ that that's the alien righteousness that and that is what matters for justification now all the other works certainly matter for my own sanctification most especially for my love for the neighbor and for my building up the body of christ and the church of god and so forth but but for my justification for my for my case to stand before the lord paul says if every even everything i have good it's not just my sins that are thrown out i'm throwing out my good works i i don't i even if i have a whole handful of good works that i've accomplished as an apostle when i go to stand before the lord i'm going to throw them out and say all i know is christ i think that's the difference are we i mean we we want to all be doing good works by the power of the holy spirit but as soon as we appear before the judgment of god what paul is insisting on is that we got to throw those things out now jesus wants to bring him back to us after the case is over that's fine that's his business but i could see how you would you you would read it that way although i think it would be problematic when we um put that interpretation up against with james but i could see how you would read it that way but here's how i would read it well here's how i would read that particular passage i think he's saying even works that i'm doing now even those things that i'm doing now as an apostle if it's not being done in christ it's done that's why he's talking about righteousness that's found in christ because he's emphasizing everything that we do it if it's going to be meritorious it has to be in christ so i mean i i can i could see how we could interpret it really either way i would then have to ask okay um is that really the best interpretation that's native to the text and then moreover how does that fit with you know other passages in the new testament and then more importantly how does it fit with the early church's reception of the doctrine of justification and things like that so i have to then wait wait wait that can't be you can't you don't i don't think you meant that that can't be more important well no no no no i wouldn't i let let me maybe rephrase yes absolutely i go to scripture first primarily but in order to interpret it properly whenever we come to something that is um perhaps unclear there might be a dispute on its interpretation yes we look to the fathers at that point its reception on how is this understood how is this interpreted so i then do go and turn to tradition but i mean we we can speak specifically about history here's one more text this is so this is first corinthians 4 4. this is one i reference it says paul says i know nothing uh for i know nothing by myself that i know nothing against myself nothing that i can be charged off as guilty or sinful yet i am not thereby justified because he who judges me is the lord so that that and and i think this is especially important that justification is is this judicial judgment of god and paul says look i don't i don't have anything i i'm an apostle i'm a servant of the lord i've got no reason for a man to judge me as a sinner and yet that's not what matters all of this all of my keeping the law and all this sort of stuff i throw out for the sake of knowing christ and him crucified this is this is paul's uh language so um i mean i think we're i think we got really quickly to the to the point of disagreement is that i i would say sure the same faith that receives the promise of forgiveness also receives the holy spirit and also we receive that through the sacramental life of the church which baptism the holy supper uh the gift of absolution preaching the gospel we would we would we should probably talk about the sacraments at some point because the lutheran church explicitly speaks of the sacraments as those those rights that deliver the promise of forgiveness so it's connected to the forgiveness of sins and that grows i mean that that is that has fruit in our own lives but that fruit is excluded from the from the courtroom of god yeah well i mean there is a difference there we we would say that um again initial justification yes we would say entirely is is christ but then we could talk about an increase in justification being meritorious for increases in heaven not necessarily for am i going to heaven but for increases in it whereas y'all would say no no that just pertains to your sanctification it has nothing to do with this justification and and i could still say even even for me who or not me but just a person who merits increases in justification post initial uh justification yeah it's still ultimately a declaration based upon what christ has done for us but it simultaneously infuses us in that increase in justification uh that we are meriting is also then considered for increases in in um merit and greater rewards in heaven what i'm interested in so because you have not mentioned yet uh purgatory but that's got to factor in here so yeah i mean so right now we're effectively uh dealing with the issue of eternal consequences right eternal consequences of sin um but as far as temporal consequences post-baptism um sure purgatory might play a role if i haven't dealt with those temporal consequences here on earth but let's say for example i've just been baptized i've been initially justified i die at that moment there's no purgatory you go immediately uh to heaven because there's no purgation for any temporal consequences because those are washed out in baptism um if you go to confession um in the sacrament of confession uh your your eternal consequences are um are are removed you you would die uh you know in god's friendship but you would still need to deal with temporal consequences and so there there might be a time where you you fast and suffer here on earth or you do it in the afterlife and i know there's going to be a difference there because you would say no um that that forgiveness takes care of of everything immediately there would be no really distinction between temporal and eternal consequences is that right no no we we do talk i mean the bible talks about the difference between temporal and eternal consequences um but we would not say that there's that to die in the friendship of god and to still have some temporal consequences for sin owed that death takes care of it i mean that's i mean that death might be that temporal consequence who knows but um will you say that no that to be forgiven is to be completely forgiven there's nothing left to suffer from god yeah from god of course of course but purgation isn't a suffering from god it's more suffering from what i've done and it's me putting somewhat of a um not a barrier between me and god because there there's no barrier there i i'm i'm still in friendship i'm in covenant i'm in communion with god but there there's still a taint on me if you will um and so that's at least how we would understand uh dealing with purgation it's there's still some impurities on me not that christ is in impure and his justification is impure and it's not good enough yes it's good enough to bring me into communion and eternal friendship with god but i'm nothing impure is going to enter heaven as scripture says so i'm going to need to deal with if i have for example some kind of minor attachment to sin i might not be engaging in graves in but i might still have some kind of minor attachment to you know uh overeating or or something like that right um i might not be doing so in a really grave way but i still might have some kind of attachment to that or sloth or some other kind of sin out there if that is the case it's still kind of that needs to be dealt with that's interesting so it's not only the consequence of actual sin but so because that because you started talking about that like there's temporal consequences of sin so that's why you need a temporal place like it's attachments too yeah it's a disposition an attachment um not not that you're you're separated from god and under his condemnation but you you need to be unattached to those things and so they're the one of the ways we we've understood it um especially recently with pope benedict and i think the east is has kind of emphasized this as well the eastern tradition um it's not as if i go to this place of purgatory and temp you know there's actual time and i'm staying there in a jail cell for a while you know before i go to god there there have been those who have kind of articulated it that way a bit um what we would say is okay we're in friendship with god let's say we die in that moment i still have that attachment some minor attachments well when i encounter god he's a purifying fire when i encounter him that experience of encountering a holy god but me still having an attachment to some things that are not holy purifies me it purges those things in that encounter with christ and that is what we could call purgatory so we could even speak of it as purgatory being a purgatory encounter with christ as i'm entering into come well not communion but entering into his presence i'm purified as if fires just you know taking care of all that i would i would agree with that i mean so we would say that upon death which is the unnatural separation of body and soul that the soul is purified and made fit for the beautiful vision and then on the last day the body in the resurrection is glorified it also made fit for life with god and so that at the moment of death the soul is purified and at the moment of resurrection the body is purified um and by the divine encounter that's beautiful way to say it but how how then if so if that's the case though then how are the merits of uh of christians who are alive still applied to those who suffer in purgatory yeah i mean in in all this can be done um you know outside of time it doesn't have to necessarily be something in time but um let me first say this the merit of christ is 100 entirely sufficient to purge me of any attachment to sin in and of himself there being no saint to ever walk the face of the earth what he's done is sufficient it's simply that god allows those merits done in righteousness to be part of that purifying fire if you will he allows it to be part of that progression not that he needs it but he allows it because he wants us to participate in what he's done just like here on earth i mean god could just immediately infuse the knowledge of the gospel into a person but he generally wants to use his church to communicate that message because he wants to involve us in what he's done not that he needs us but he wants to involve us in in what he's doing condescending to us in doing so that's how we would understand um the merits of these saints of course and those merits are being done in grace and righteousness so they're not apart from christ or anything and they're not adding to anything as if christ's righteousness in and of itself isn't enough to purify me of all temporal guilt as if there's some kind of deficiency in jesus there's no deficiency does that help a little bit yeah that's nice i mean there is i mean it's nice there's still this danger though i mean always this danger where where i and i think this is the cutting point i mean this is the distinction point where um so the early lutheran said it this way and again part of my problem is i've i've kind of lived in the reformation fight with the lutherans and the catholics and it might it might be different now although i'm not sure but there have been some developments since then i mean we still hold substantially to what trent says it's just there are some developments to the way that we understand some of these things for example purgatory at the time of trent people would have probably generally understood it as something temporal you know as as existing in space and time whereas that that's not necessarily the case you can com be in perfect good standing with the church and understand it as an immediate encounter with christ so that so um the this this cutting question though is so the lutheran the early lutheran said that that the doctrine whenever we add something to say faith or the promise of forgiveness or the sufficient completely sufficient meritorious death of christ if we add something to that the result is that we take glory from christ and give it then to ourselves apply it to our own works and the secondary result of that is that when those works enter in and this is kind of back to the beginning it's the mixing of clay and iron when those works enter in then i've also stolen comfort so to give all glory to christ that he and he alone is the savior not only in in in possibility but in actuality that his merit is the only merit that prevails before the father and then all other merit is excluded yeah we're talking about strict marriage sure yeah so and if we and if we try to add any human work of any person apart from christ to that we're taking glory from christ and we're robbing pious consciences of their comfort i would agree with that if if we're talking about just strict merit of course there's nothing we could really do to strictly merit any kind of favor from god only jesus has done that um merited in that sense from the father so in in that way yeah if i were to claim some kind of strict merit and say god you owe me this you owe it to me um yeah we we have a problem there because he doesn't owe it to us and that would detract from christ but a congruent merits is not so much a merit that god um you i lay claim to something that you owe me now it's more god is condescending to reward me for something he doesn't have to reward me for so it's not me taking away from anything from christ god is condescending to reward me for something that he doesn't owe me if understood that way i don't see how it detracts from christ because it's not me detracting it's it's god saying i'm going to allow you to share in uh some benefits and some rewards even though you don't deserve it even though strictly speaking i don't owe you anything well i suppose it's just this this i mean um i i i maybe to go back to and we're all all the way back to the very beginning if i show up before the judgment seat of god and and he says what have you got there and i say just jesus jesus christ and he says well what's that in your pocket he's like well just a couple of things that you let me do to help i wouldn't appeal to that just in case no no no we don't even have to appeal i'm appealing entirely to christ i'm appealing entirely to him now if god decides to take any works that he's done through me in grace and give me some increase in blessings um great but it's not that any of that is going to merit that initial good standing with god but so and i'm i mean maybe so folks can i mean because just again because what you said right there sounds okay to me pretty close but i'm not sure that that would agree with i'm not sure that would agree with trent or the catechism what part of trent or the catechism would it not agree with this idea that this idea that the merit of christ specifically though cannon or what what part of the categories so you you check the chat i'll grab my yeah yeah i already know it's not gonna be the chat because not not that we don't have good people who would catch us we actually do um but i i know that i'm not saying anything contrary to uh session 6 well that's interesting that's a good catechism that's good a copy of this to you do you have this do you know this word chemnitz yeah oh yeah i got them on pdf oh really yeah i don't know can you can you yeah well you know what sometimes even though i i hate pdfs i like the actual thing in front of me sometimes it's just easier to just do that instead of you know the hardbacks because they're so expensive sometimes especially chemnitz i was i was looking at some hard copies of them though that's great i know it uh it's great to have them in i was gonna send it to you but since you got it already now you can send it to me but i mean when you know i'd be curious what part of the catechism or what what canon would be contrary to me saying i'm not appealing to any works that i've done in in christ when i stand before god i'm appealing to christ and what he has done now i understand that merit done in in in christ in grace does increase justification and does increase uh my participation in heaven but ultimately the very fact that i'm i'm not going to hell and i'm going to heaven it's because of christ and what he's done he's the foundation of this whole thing it's not because of some kind of increase in justification mm-hmm so i just look at i think i'm in chapter 10 canon 12. all right let me go to is that section six i think it's seven but session seven maybe oh no no you're right rusty no no no no no you're right that's about to say session six all right canon 12. all right let me go to it session six canon 12. now we're really going to nerd out here uh that a rash pre uh presumptuousness and the matter of predestination is to be avoided here's what it says here at least what i'm looking for i'm on chapter 12. i'm sorry canon you said canon 12 canon 12. if anyone say that justifying faith is nothing else but confidence in the divine mercy which remits uh sins for christ's sake or that this confidence alone is that whereby we are justified let them be anathema right so it's that justifying faith for initial justification it's not just a confidence in the divine mercy it's not just that but that's what you said no no no no no wait wait wait wait wait is that not just that wait hold on here's the distinction so that's what so here's where i said earlier i said it's not just an ascent it's an informed faith that is that is a faith that is um including um hope and charity that's what this is getting at in other words if i were to say this is not just this is not a faith that includes uh charity and hope it's just solely a confidence in christ that would be wrong that would fall under this anathema absolutely but what we're saying is that faith that we're having in christ that immediately justifies it it is a confidence in christ absolutely but we recognize it's a faith that is more than just the confidence in christ it's a faith that is also um filled with hope and charity not that i'm saying hey somehow my my charity makes me righteous before god no but that's all it's getting at okay so i so that's fine i mean faith is never faith is never alone faith is always right working by love and i mean hope is nothing else but faith you know and the promise is not yet kept i mean hope is so but but um what the argument that the lutherans were making was that faith of course faith is never apart from love but that faith justifies apart from love and here they say no yeah i i can't i can't read this canon as just simply saying they have a wrong definition of faith because that that wasn't the argument i mean nobody ever said that there's faith without love that that was that was never the actually there were people who were saying they're it's basically just a uh an ascent and an intellectual sense that's what the canon is really getting at so that if anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than trust in divine mercy which permits sins for christ's sake or to this that this trust alone by which we are justified so this idea that we're justified by trust so even that trust is not ascent i mean the the the argument the lutheran this is like real early in the lutheran confessions that that faith is of course more than mere ascent they were arguing that against the romans um uh but this idea that faith is trust faith is trust in the in god's promise and that that trust in the promise that belief in the promise trust in the promise is what justifies and here it says that that yeah if that trust and that trust alone if you if you isolate that trust part of faith and you say that that is what justifies that's what this idea that that trusting in christ and him alone before the judgment seat of god that that is that is what saves me so so two points here and the way that works with a canon is you got to especially pay attention to the ore because the first part could be entirely orthodox and the second part is the part that's being condemned but so let's just say let's just assume just for the moment that the first clause is perfectly orthodox that's not the part that's really being anathematized it's the latter part the or there the secondary part that confidence alone is that whereby we are justified you know why that's wrong that's wrong because i can say that my increases in justification is more than just confidence and it is a real justification but is a justification for an increase in participation in heaven and so yeah that that would be wrong if we're talking about for example um increases in justification it is more than a confidence but we were talking about um especially the idea of whether i'm going to hell or heaven you know that the very basis here of me going to hell or heaven that that factor we can say it's a confidence in christ and what he has done but that's not all the justification is we can also speak of justification being more than just a confidence in christ alone it is all also a recognition that the meritorious uh goodness that i do by grace after initial justification merits additional increases in heaven so you would say that you have initial justification which saves and then subsequent justification which which which which justifies um but it's not but i know the way you're gonna hear that it's gonna sound odd it justifies but it's pertaining to an increase in justification it's not okay if i don't have any merits done in grace then i'm going to hell so let's put it like this jesus justifies me i go from under the domain of satan to under the domain of god jesus justifies me but i haven't done anything to merit reward it's we're not saying okay well good luck you're going to hell now no but we understand that if we do do good works done in grace that does justify but it's not referring to that initial moment of transitioning between heaven and hell but it's referring to an increase in justification so that's what we're talking about about justification so i can read this canon be perfectly orthodox with everything i just said okay that's good what do you have do you have a couple of scriptures for that inc for the justification yeah yeah yeah and that that's a good one because for me i had a very tough time with okay trent is talking about increases in justification where is this coming from i need some kind of biblical support for this something you know um here's here's where i i get it from at least i understand when we look at the life of abraham there's multiple times in which it says and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness yeah there's that initial moment i think what was it uh genesis 12 i want to say initial initially but then we see later on also genesis 22 james talks about how that moment too it was reckoned to him as righteousness um in in both it's not like r.c sproul one is in the eyes of god one is in the eyes of man because even in um what's going on genesis 22 that's in the eyes of god because no man is there witnessing it it was clearly still in the eyes of god so um both of these are a reckoning right being reckoned unto righteousness both genesis 12 and genesis 22. but the way i would understand it is the genesis 12 i believe it's 12 or 15 were somewhere around there that abraham believed god and it was wrecking him yeah and i believe that was initially genesis 12 or 15. i think it's 12. um the first time there that's referring to initial justification um these the genesis 22 is referring to subsequent increases in justification it's not it's not like before genesis 22 he was going to hell or something um no he was already reckoned righteous so um i would understand genesis 22 to be referring to an increase in righteousness because he had already been justified so why are we talking about them being justified again unless we're making a distinction between initial justification and an increase in justification that's the only way i really can make sense of it and also in genesis 12 initially it's not by circumcision it's not by the works of the law he trusted god and it was imputed to him as righteousness right it was simply by faith but what's going on in genesis 22 is more than just faith he's going to sacrifice his son there's some works there so we can't say okay well that must mean he's he's going from heaven to hell because of some works he did no it's referring to an increase in justification it's works being done in righteousness by god's grace that's where i get the distinction from it's implicit i don't think that you know paul says hey there's a difference between in so many words i think it's implied there in those events could i i would just thank you for that that i mean i think that that's really helpful um i i was um i was looking at romans 4 just i mean just kind of thinking about this conversation too and how paul puts forth abraham as the picture of justification right and it's all and it's all the way through right and and here's what so it's even so genesis 15 which is he believed god and it was imputed to him that's even after i mean he's done tons of works already and yet it's that point that his faith is imputed to him and even with the sacrifice of isaac i mean it is a work that he does carrying isaac up there and and lifting up the knife to sacrifice him and yet it's it's grounded on his faith works done in faith that isaac is going to is going to be given back to him in the resurrection yeah it's done in faith in other words that that work of abraham is manifesting not his love or obedience or whatever but in fact manifesting his faith i agree and that's what hebrews says about it right so i i agree and and james that's true that's in his faith so so there's so why not say and this is maybe what rc sproul says i'm not familiar with it but that there is faith that that um there is justification before god the lord knows when we trust his promise and declares us righteous and then there's that faith works itself out in what we do um so that there is a manifestation of our faith before the world which is seen positively in acts of work and love and charity and also it's seen passively in our quiet patient suffering as christians so that but i wouldn't say that that's justification that i i wouldn't say that the scriptures would say that that's justification well i mean it says it was reckoned to him as righteousness the exact same phrase james uses is the exact same phrase that paul uses to refer to that initial justification done yeah james is quoting that james is quoting genesis right yeah it's the exact same terminology and yet they're referring to two different events so was he justified twice no it's i mean james makes this really clear he says abraham believed god and it was imputed to him for writing but he said he believed in him at that moment in genesis 22 and at that moment it was imputed to him as righteousness is what james is saying but he had already been it had already been imputed according to paul ten chapters before oh oh yeah oh i see oh oh this is this would be a great point of difference so i i think this might be and you can teach me on this but this might be the difference between imputation and infusion so i mean someone can be declared righteous i mean we're declared righteous over and over again uh in our christian life i mean every time we go to church and hear the absolution we're being declared righteous yeah i mean the verdict of god for us is being spoken every time we we hear the gospel preached sure uh every time we go to the lord's supper and jesus says take this for the forgiveness of sins it's not like he's just forgiving some of our sins as if the blood of jesus would only forgive like the sins we did last week right i mean it's everything sure and so so so the forgiveness of sins and the and the imputation of the righteousness of christ and the not imputing our sins is a complete thing but it happens over and over again so so it i i wouldn't think it i mean just my thinking about it i don't think it'd be a problem to say like he was you you were so you were baptized so then if if someone said oh you're righteous i forgive your sins five years later that that's a a growth of justification it is the same justification he's just redeclaring something that had already been done yeah right i see what you're saying yeah i i get that um i i could definitely see us interpreting it that way if if we're considering just scripture alone but then when i consider okay how what was the reception of this how do we understand this historically that's when i start to have the the problems of i don't see it being that because many so many fathers talk about um works justifying i mean augustine for for example in his work on faith and works talks about that so i mean and he's not alone i mean there's plenty others um it's very interesting there's a really good augustine no no no no forget august throw augustine away we can talk about many many other fathers uh the second century reception of the concept of justification and the works of the law that that's right in and of it in and of itself just those fathers the the uh apostolic fathers there second century that's all i need well i just need ignatius irenaeus justin in in those guys i i saw this that's right i was i was reading so this is you'll have to get another guy on for that because i just don't my familiarity with the fathers is kind of embarrassing so i i have to but i um i was just i was poking around i was so i was just reading through chemists today he's got a beautiful paragraph where he'll he'll just um i wonder if i could uh where he he i mean he he addresses that that question of the interpretation of the fathers and he says it's right i mean the fathers interpreted uh justification as the as a latin term becoming righteous rather than the hebrew term being acquitted have you have you read the update to eustitzia day uh that repudiates that now i mean the main foremost scholar on this alistair mcgrath um repudiate he he put that in his previous edition that argument and he he repudiates it because he shows in the greek fathers they maintain the same view and they're not using latin so nobody can appeal to the latin there sorry the hebrew mind versus the latin mind so i i i i maybe i didn't that there's a difference so there's two different pictures of what this means to either declare that the judicial forensic sense or the the make the the you know the idea of of not simply declaring no it's not a courtroom sense it's more of a i don't know a garden sense or something but i was looking at this uh so here you'll have to look up on your pdf so this is in on chemnitz volume 2475. paragraph eight and he just has this beautiful kind of collection of all of the fathers uh speaking of grace or faith alone justifying so i think he's got a gust on and he's got ambrose and hillary and cyril and i and i don't and i don't have a problem with all those quotes because they're they're referring to initial justification any all those fathers that one appeals to to go for faith alone it's referring to initial justification but then you go to those exact same fathers those exact same ones they will then elsewhere tell you that works are justifying a person and how can they do that they can do it with my understanding because they're making a distinction between initial and increases they can't do that with yours so it makes sense with you know when i go to those fathers i don't have a problem with them saying faith alone justifies because that's what they're talking they're talking about that initial justification i don't have an issue with that those same fathers then talk about works being done in righteousness justifying a person so i mean that that's a and this is why you have alistair mcgrath and he's a protestant he's he's not a catholic but he's the main guy studying justification um throughout history and he he sees that okay the the more catholic understanding is definitely there and the fathers yeah well i'm glad you conceded the scriptural argument to me i'm not conceding the scriptural argument i'm not conceding the scriptural argument let me let me make it clear i'm not but what i am what i am doing is i am saying that um though i do go to scripture first and foremost i don't read it entirely divorced from the covenant community to whom those scriptures are given don't fair enough yeah i read it in light of that covenant community um though many things you could just read straight from scripture you don't even have to read anything from that covenant community it's very very clear i mean the vast majority of what scripture says you and i don't dispute because scripture is so clear on but there are some points of scripture that it it's it's not very clear on and that's not a problem with scripture it's just god did not necessarily intend for all answers to be given right then and there um but when i then appeal to the covenant community to whom those scriptures are given try to understand how did they understand this concept of works of the law and justification how was this received in that so i i i would be interesting to see if the works of the law was understood in that in the sense of the jewish ceremonial law i mean i would just i would be interested in that before jerome yeah absolutely in in and i'm just talking to apostolic fathers there's a really really good book on this the second century reception of works of the law uh in the apostolic fathers really really good book i'll i'll um send you the link after the thank you um and in fact i had the guy on um and interviewed him so i i actually sent you the video as well where i interviewed him on his book and uh just take a look at it because just the second century reception of justification works of the law is in the catholic favor um more than it is in the protestant and frankly this is one of the biggest difficulties that i have is if i could really see the protestant especially the um reformed or lutheran understanding of justification if i could see it um being received just at least generally by the christian community prior to luther i really i i would be very inclined to take a second look at protestantism but when i see so many things that are catholic in that in that christian community prior to luther that way in the favor of catholics and i can't find this central doctrine of justification i mean this is pretty much central to the gospel for the protestant i can't find it prior to luther i have a problem with that because it means all of these other fathers really lacked a basic understanding of the gospel well i suppose that's what upset peter when he found paul and antioch yeah i mean i i get i understand that some people can deviate here and there i totally get that i'm not saying that there can't be deviations in the fathers i'm just saying when they all are consistently deviating and i'm not finding the positive message there and the truth there i have a problem because hey we had the truth there in paul right but where's my pause in third century fourth century fifth century sixth entry i need to see my paws who are affirming luther's understanding of justification sure don't know fair enough i mean it is the the great so the this the reformation was the great conversation about justification uh it may it you know there was the great there it got close with augustine and the and the conversation about grace and original sin so that was the great debate there and it got close to the debate about justification but it didn't get all the way to it there's a great debate about the trinity in the first in the third century the fifth century there's a great debate about the incarnation that happened uh in the early life of the church so that there's a great debate in the middle ages about reason and and revelation so i mean there's all these kind of great debates and it's true that the great debate about justification happened at the time of the reformation so that so and that the lord waited until then to to bring that debate about uh but i'll i mean i'll accept your challenge um but the thing is the debate was already there on justification like i said i mean you have augustine writing an entire book on faith and works and you have many people talking about justification and when they talk about it they're not giving me what's supposed to be the center of the gospel do you remember when luther tells a story about how he when he discovered the the passive righteousness in romans 16 and he said and then i went and i found it there in augustine and i started to find it and all the church fathers but see the problem is i go to augustine and he's going to say in his work on faith and works that works are actually justifying and they are meritorious for justification he's very explicit on it very explicit so anything that luther can appeal to there i can not only appeal to those passages for initial justification but then i can go to the other passages in augustine to appeal to for increases in justification and it fits in my paradigm perfectly well it's not going to fit with luther it's going to be anathema to luther what augustine is saying it's going to be a deviation from the gospel and mixing filthy rags with with the righteousness of christ for luther and so that's my biggest difficulty is okay you know that i mean that work faith and works by augustine is approved by the lutheran confessions the whole work but if you look and see that's how i don't understand so i need to see how is are certain passages in faith and works by augustine how are certain passages to be understood in the lutheran paradigm because i don't see it you have him explicitly talking about works being meritorious for justification send me if send me those passages and then we'll do the follow-up yeah yeah yeah that would be i mean i just i just don't know it well enough i mean i you know it's been ages since and and i and again i mean i'm confi i don't know the fathers like i should so that's my own um i remember reading thomas odin a while back this is when i was still reformed because i was just i'm trying to find the understanding of justification that reformed or at least the lutheran understanding of justification they're in in the fathers and thomas odin gives this book a justification reader and he tries to do that he tries to survey just a bunch of different uh views on justification in the father's and none of them are giving me luther's view so it's just it's frustrating i don't see it but what i do see are things that are completely contrary to luther's view and then not only that i'm then seeing them saying other things that would be abhorrent to anybody who held who would have held to luther's understanding of justification like saints meriting uh meriting righteousness or invocation of the saints or things like that relatives those would be abhorrent really to the paradigm you know for sure yeah 100 percent of them all over augustine and the fathers and all these other people so it's it's problematic and frustrating because i just wasn't seeing it yeah and not saying that hey you know um church history is the end all and be all of everything no i again i start with scripture first but i i do still want to understand it in those parts that are controversial i do still want to understand it in light of that covenant community um no that's fair enough it's just this i mean this is a and we talked about this a little bit last time it's just this question of um can can we critique the theology of the fathers from the scripture yes and of course the answer is yes of course so the fa so the father serve as a guide to scripture but certainly not an infallible guide to the scripture i mean even just like the difference between like even what augustine taught about purgatory and about what you suggested about purgatory and and benedict from benedict those are those are very different yeah there are some things in the fathers that we we can critique and even use scripture to critique um the fathers i don't have a problem with that but here's the the difference though i would say if there is a consensus however and i'm just talking about a moral because i understand there there's generally never some kind of unanimity but our theologians have historically understood that if there's a moral consensus and there are ways to identify whether or not there is a moral consensus if there's a moral consensus on something that does serve as the proper interpretation of scripture so that is how you would understand scripture perfect example is baptism baptismal regeneration there is a very very solid consensus in the father's on baptismal regeneration right a million times more than the assumption of the virgin for example right a million times more so when i come to those passages i'm gonna i'm not gonna correct those fathers based on scripture i'm gonna understand those passages in scripture based on that consensus but then when i do come to some things that there isn't a moral consensus on and there's just an individual father uh maybe gregory of nissa teaching apocatosis you know this idea that there's going to be a full restoration for all of the people who are in hell they're eventually going to be restored to god's grace i can say no no no that's wrong and here's why and i can appeal to scriptural texts to correct uh saint gregory yeah so there is a sense in which we can do that with scripture but in other cases where there's a moral majority no they are the they could function as an interpretive lens for scripture yeah i think that's fine in fact i've been thinking about since we talked last time uh you what you were talking about with baptism and baptismal regeneration because that came up in the in the conversation about the clarity of scripture i've been kind of i saw but no so thank you for that that i mean that's that's a helpful thing for me to meditate on continually but uh um yeah and i think we would say the same although um i think the difference between us is going to be you would say that scripture is the soul infallible rule and i would say that no there scripture is the um infallible rule with priority and it's the only one that is god breathed but i would say that there are non-god-breathed uh infallible rules they are guided they are guided by god they're not god breathed and we we wouldn't even say that they have priority over scripture uh scripture has has priority but i would call them infallible rules you wouldn't say that they're invalid rules i think that's where our difference is i had a debate uh not long ago with chris date on this uh on this very topic if you if you wanted to check it out you know we were debating his scripture the soul infallible rule and the the soul part is the only thing that i would critique i would say there are other infallible rules namely sacred tradition in the magisterium but the magisterium is subservient to scripture it is never over it and uh sacred tradition is the interpretive lens by which we understand scripture but scripture even has priority over sacred tradition but they're infallible rules you would say no they're good rules they're helpful right they're not infallible and that's that's where we would have a whole debate yep that's it that there's one judge right everyone else is as a witness yeah uh but there is only one judge so i i get it well look you know i appreciate you coming on pastor i know we didn't get a chance to dive into mary mary if you're if you're willing to come back on let's do merry christmas yeah i learned a ton and plus i'm going to get the pdf of chemnitz's examination yeah yeah i can't wait for that and i'll also send you um the the book that i was telling you about the second century reception and a link to uh the interview that i did with its author so i want to take up your challenge on uh augustine uh and yeah faith and love so you'll send me those links that'll be really that'll be really helpful for me that's what we should talk about and mary too what i don't know you want to i mean you got questions over there i i've got time by the way so if you're running out of time over there we got a few minutes for questions y'all go ahead and put them in the chat make sure to send it to uh reason and theology so i can distinguish them from chat questions um i'm sorry chat comments uh go ahead and send them now let me scroll through and see if i see any that have already been made i've seen a lot by the way all all of those so you're the viewers who gave me such a grief last time i'm looking forward to it this time too that was great i don't remember did no it was after the video i got emails and i got it was great now i'm on some sort of list you would be shocked how much hate mail and uh detraction i get every day from catholics orthodox uh set of economists believe it or not the protestants are generally well behaved muslims are extremely well behaved to me so far so are the atheists they all behave very well towards me um it's generally the catholics the orthodox instead of a contest you fight most fiercely with your family you know i mean i punched my brothers more than i punched anybody else i don't know some of them i'm not calling i'm not calling i'm not claiming them but yeah they generally tend to be the the most toxic so if any of those overflowed to you i apologize no it's great here's a couple um well here i guess this one is for me why follow a religion started by a catholic priest i mean um is that for me or is that photo because luther was a catholic priest so that that maybe is you so look the the the argument that the lutherans would make is that this is actually you know this comes from the catholic church this argument of i get this when the when the when the roman catholic trolls get after me like you have a church founded on a man we have a church founded on jesus and i said no hold on which one of us has the doctrine of an infallible magisterium you know which one of us has a vicar of christ on earth so i mean the catholic church does argue that the truth is manifest in the office of the pope or something similar to that we would say none of those things for luther that luther was not infallible in any way um the the only writings of luther that are considered to have what we call confessional value are those that are included in the book of concord or maybe approved by them so while we would call luther a doctor of the church and the chief teacher of the church the church is certainly not established by luther or on luther in any way um the the lutheran argument is always that that that the scripture alone delivers to us the promise of the forgiveness of sins and in that promise and that promise alone we avail before the judgment of god so uh christ alone established the church the the lutherans would laugh like and i'd be interesting uh on this idea because the you know you have that bull unum sanctum which i think causes some trouble for you guys no i don't have a problem with it and and it says the church is not a a two-headed monster but the church has only one head christ and the vicar of christ on earth and i was like well now wait a minute christ and the vicar of christ that's two uh unless unless the pope is equivalent to christ or but it's this funny sort of thing we would say we agree with that first part the the church is not a two-headed monster christ alone is the head of the church so yeah um and and we could say that there is a very unique sense in which christ is head of the church of course but then we would be able to talk about the vicar of christ being ahead in a qualified sense not in the same sense in which jesus is sad there there's a fundamental difference between jesus and any reigning pope namely one is one is created and one is not right there's there's that difference one is the founder and what is not when the sanctum says that the church is not a two-headed monster that there's only one head of the church and then it lists jesus and the pope as the as the heads of the church that's what i don't i'd have to go back i wasn't he dealing with the idea that correct me if i'm wrong i need to go back on this particular point but i thought that what he was dealing with is the idea that that there's two heads namely um one secular you know one in the realm of politics and one in the realm of religion i thought that's what he was interacting with when he said that it could be because that also says that the church because that's the church possesses both swords yeah and spiritual authority absolutely and he and and then he gives the proof of that where jesus says to peter peter says here are two swords and jesus says that's enough and so yeah it's a very very loose uh interpretation sure i i would say that that's not going to be an exegetical interpretation we can appeal to certain scriptures um as far as applications but of course that's obviously not going to be the exegetical interpretation of that passage but again we can appeal to it as far as um you know an application i would i would use other particular passages to really base the idea that uh the church is is head um over you know religious affairs and even secular although the the state is its secular arm as the old code of canaan law puts it uh yeah a whole lot could be said there but i i thought that's what he was talking about in unum sanctum i um i i could be mistaken though um there is this one what does the pastor believe of pope benedict's evaluation of the augsburg confession i don't know about it i know nothing about it but i'm gonna look it up oh and by the way also one other thing we can recognize that certain propositions could be even definitive they could be true and they could even be infallible but whenever a pope or a council appeals to a source for it the source is they're appealing to the source is not necessarily infallible um so some of the arguments uh that maybe pius xii used i'm sorry pius ix used for the immaculate conception though the definition of the immaculate conception is infallible and irreformable maybe some of the things that he appeals to some of the fathers or some of the scriptures that those are not infallible interpretations of those texts he could be wrong so here in unum sanctum the pope could be 100 wrong and it doesn't even apply as far as an application it could be just the pope's entirely wrong here i agree with that evaluation of it and also i don't even think that that proposition in unum sanctum was was uh definitive i don't know i've been trying to figure that out the main proposition in unum sanctum that is definitive is the um part where he talks about it's um we define and decree and declare that it's necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the roman population exactly that would be definitive but it needs to be understood um in light of certain developments as well so i mean we affirm the dogma but it needs to be understood in a very qualified sense i did an entire lecture on this two days ago that i can send to you where i give you that interpretation of unum sanctum and show okay here's here's how we need to understand it um so uh let's i'll look yeah send me that too because that unum sanctum is pretty rough i think it would be helpful because what i'm doing in the lecture is going over the history of the dogma of outside the church there is no salvation and how it needs to be properly understood and how it is reconcilable with some of the things that we see in maybe vatican zoo for example yeah how how how do we reconcile what unum sanctum says but then when lumen gensium and vatican's who says how do we understand these two so that's what i do in the lecture yeah the lutherans always uh joke about that they're like the atheists get to go to heaven according to vatican ii but according to trent the lutherans are excited see that's the thing i correct that because technically it doesn't actually say what it does say though it does say about um people who have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of god it says that god's saving help is available to them that's all he says which you should you affirm yourself you you believe that an atheist god's saving help is available to an oh yeah sure could be saved that's all vatican's who is saying it's not saying that they remain in that state of atheism or a lack of an explicit knowledge of god and they remain in that state and die in it and they're saved vatican who doesn't say that there's a long tradition of though of philosophical righteousness being acceptable before god i mean so this goes all the way back to the middle ages where the whole conversations about the greek and the pagans and so forth well just just a martyr in the second century talks about that with the seeds of the logos and that's the very first thing that i address in the lecture actually first i go over scripture and then when i turn to the fathers in history the first one i go to is justin to talk about that understanding of what he's getting at um but but he he's not saying that somebody is saved somehow by reason or anything like that no if any of those prior to christ were saved it's because of christ that they were saved okay yeah uh let's see i got another one here for you uh what are the lutheran teachings on old testament sacraments and how they differ from those in the new testament sure so there's a great line uh let's see just to refer to luther his um against the heavenly prophets he says that we distinguish between the winning of forgiveness and the distribution of forgiveness and so the winning of forgiveness happens by the suffering and death of jesus on the cross the distribution of forgiveness happens through the word and the sacraments both old and new testament so the old testament sacraments of of uh circumcision and especially the sacrifices as part of the old covenant were the distribution of the forgiveness of sins that jesus won on the cross for the old testament people and they received it by faith just like we do and the new testament sacraments baptism the lord's supper absolution are the same delivering of that same forgiveness of sins that jesus won for us on the cross and we like the saints in the old testament receive it by faith uh we'll do this one uh wouldn't it make sense that god would leave a church with authority to interpret infallibly considering there was no access to bible uh for the most part i don't know i'm not sure if it makes sense or not but i i know that there was a time when there was no for example new testament before the paul wrote things down and there was all sorts of trouble so he says all right i gotta write it down so if the apostles thought it made sense for a little bit they quickly corrected it by writing it down so that they would have a text to appeal to so that would be my guess is they tried the catholic system for a couple of years and it didn't work so they wrote down the holy scriptures this one is who thinks aristotle is in heaven uh saint justin martyr uh although he doesn't explicitly list aristotle he lists plato heraclitus and and he it would presumably he would where does dante put aristotle i can't remember that uh he he's he's definitely in hell to my recollection but i forget which level um i forget yeah last one for you um on the lutheran position of justification is it a one-time event or are you continuously just fine i i would say it's it's like me is it so you ask the same question about marriage you know is marriage a one-time event are you continually married the answer is that the the rite of holy matrimony puts you into the state of into the estate or into the state of marriage so baptism puts us into the state of justification so but that that promise is just like the promise of marriage is constantly being given husband and wife to one another so the so the promise of forgiveness is constantly being given to the christian um and it does forgive that promise forgives the one who's already forgiven so we're in a state of justification although yeah i think

_iTMmSojang | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iTMmSojang | American Revolutionary War | Wikipedia audio article | the american revolutionary war 1775-1783 also known as the american war of independence was an 18th century war between great britain and its 13 colonies allied with france which declared independence as the united states of america after 1765 growing philosophical and political differences strained the relationship between great britain and its colonies patriot protests against taxation without representation followed the stamp act and escalated into boycotts which culminated in 1773 with the sons of liberty destroying a shipment of tea in boston harbor britain responded by closing boston harbor and passing a series of punitive measures against massachusetts bay colony massachusetts colonists responded with the suffolk resolves and they established a shadow government which rested control of the countryside from the crown twelve colonies formed a continental congress to coordinate their resistance establishing committees and conventions that effectively seized power british attempts to disarm the massachusetts militia in concord led to open combat on april 19 1775. militia forces then besieged boston forcing a british evacuation in march 1776 and congress appointed george washington to command the continental army concurrently the americans failed decisively in an attempt to invade quebec and raise insurrection against the british on july 2nd 1776 the continental congress voted for independence issuing its declaration on july 4. sir william howe launched a british counter-offensive capturing new york city and leaving american morale at a low ebb however victories at trenton and princeton restored american confidence in 1777 the british launched an invasion from quebec under john burgoyne intending to isolate the new england colonies instead of assisting this effort howe took his army on a separate campaign against philadelphia and burgoyne was decisively defeated at saratoga in october 1777. burgoyne's defeat had drastic consequences france formally allied with the americans and entered the war in 1778 and spain joined the war the following year as an ally of france but not as an ally of the united states in 1780 the kingdom of mysore attacked the british in india and tensions between great britain and the netherlands erupted into open war in north america the british mounted a southern strategy led by charles cornwallis which hinged upon a loyalist uprising but too few came forward cornwallis suffered reversals at king's mountain and cowpens he retreated to yorktown virginia intending an evacuation but a decisive french naval victory deprived him of an escape a franco-american army led by the compte de roshambo and washington then besieged cornwallis army and with no sign of relief he surrendered in october 1781. whigs in britain had long opposed the pro-war tories in parliament and the surrender gave them the upper hand in early 1782 parliament voted to end all offensive operations in north america but the war continued in europe and india britain remained under siege in gibraltar but scored a major victory over the french navy on september 3 1783 the belligerent parties signed the treaty of paris in which great britain agreed to recognize the sovereignty of the united states and formally end the war french involvement had proven decisive but france made few gains and incurred crippling debts spain made some minor territorial gains but failed in its primary aim of recovering gibraltar the dutch were defeated on all counts and were compelled to cede territory to great britain in india the war against mysore and its allies concluded in 1784 without any territorial changes background topic taxation disputes parliament passed the stamp act in 1765. colonists condemned the tax because their rights as englishmen protected them from being taxed by a parliament in which they had no elected representatives parliament argued that the colonies were represented virtually an idea that was criticized throughout the empire parliament did repeal the act in 1766 however it also affirmed its right to pass laws that were binding on the colonies from 1767 parliament began passing legislation to raise revenue for the salaries of civil officials ensuring their loyalty while inadvertently increasing resentment among the colonists and opposition soon became widespread enforcing the acts proved difficult the seizure of the sloop liberty in 1768 on suspicions of smuggling triggered a riot in response british troops occupied boston and parliament threatened to extradite colonists to face trial in england tensions rose after the murder of christopher cider by a customs official in 1770 and escalated into outrage after british troops fired on civilians in the boston massacre in 1772 colonists in rhode island boarded and burned a custom schooner parliament then repealed all taxes except the one on t passing the tea act in 1773 attempting to force colonists to buy east india company t on which the towns and duties were paid thus implicitly agreeing to parliamentary supremacy the landing of the tea was resisted in all colonies but the governor of massachusetts permitted british tea ships to remain in boston harbor so the sons of liberty destroyed the tea chests an incident that later became known as the boston tea party parliament then passed punitive legislation it closed boston harbor until the tea was paid for and revoked the massachusetts charter taking upon themselves the right to directly appoint the massachusetts governor's council additionally the royal governor was granted powers to undermine local democracy further measures allowed the extradition of officials for trial elsewhere in the empire if the governor felt that a fair trial could not be secured locally the act's vague reimbursement policy for travel expenses left few with the ability to testify and colonists argued that it would allow officials to harass them with impunity further laws allowed the governor to bill it troops in private property without permission the colonists referred to the measures as the intolerable acts and they argued that both their constitutional rights and their natural rights were being violated viewing the acts as a threat to all of america the acts were widely opposed driving neutral parties into support of the patriots and curtailing loyalist sentiment topic colonial response the colonists responded by establishing the massachusetts provincial congress effectively removing crown control of the colony outside boston meanwhile representatives from twelve colonies convened the first continental congress to respond to the crisis the congress narrowly rejected a proposal to create an american parliament to act in concert with the british parliament instead they passed a compact declaring a trade boycott against britain the congress also affirmed that parliament had no authority over internal american matters but they were willing to consent to trade regulations for the benefit of the empire and they authorized committees and conventions to enforce the boycott the boycott was effective as imports from britain dropped by 97 in 1775 compared to 1774 parliament refused to yield in 1775 it declared massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion and enforced a blockade of the colony it then passed legislation to limit colonial trade to the british west indies and the british isles colonial ships were barred from the newfoundland cod fisheries a measure which pleased canadians but damaged new england's economy these increasing tensions led to a mutual scramble for ordinance and pushed the colonies toward open war thomas gage was the british commander in chief and military governor of massachusetts and he received orders on april 14 1775 to disarm the local militias course of the war topic war breaks out 1775-1776 on april 18 1775 700 troops were sent to confiscate militia ordnance stored at concord fighting broke out forcing the regulars to conduct a fighting withdrawal to boston overnight the local militia converged on and laid siege to boston on may 25 4500 british reinforcements arrived with generals william howe john burgoyne and henry clinton the british seized the charlestown peninsula on june 17 after a costly frontal assault leading howe to replace gage many senior officers were dismayed at the attack which had gained them little while gage wrote to london stressing the need for a large army to suppress the revolt on july 3 george washington took command of the continental army besieging boston hau made no effort to attack much to washington's surprise a plan was rejected to assault the city and the americans instead fortified dorchester heights in early march 1776 with heavy artillery captured from a raid on fort ticonderoga the british were permitted to withdraw unmolested on march 17 and they sailed to halifax nova scotia washington then moved his army to new york starting in august 1775 american privateers began to raid villages in nova scotia first at saint john then charlottetown and yarmouth they continued in 1776 at kanso and then a land assault on fort cumberland meanwhile british officials in quebec began lobbying indian tribes to support them while the americans urged them to maintain their neutrality in april 1775 congress feared an anglo-indian attack from canada and authorized an invasion of quebec quebec had a largely francophone population and had been under british rule for only 12 years and the americans expected that they would welcome being liberated from the british the americans attacked quebec city on december 31 after an arduous march but were defeated after a loose siege the americans withdrew on may 6 1776 a failed counter-attack on june 8 ended american operations in quebec however the british could not conduct an aggressive pursuit because of american ships on lake champlain on october 11 the british defeated the american squadron forcing them to withdraw to ticonderoga and ending the campaign the invasion cost the patriots their support in british public opinion while aggressive anti-loyalist policies deluded canadian support the patriots continued to view quebec as a strategic aim though no further attempts to invade were ever made in virginia royal governor lord dunmore had attempted to disarm the militia as tensions increased although no fighting broke out he issued a proclamation on november 7 1775 promising freedom for slaves who fled their patriot masters to fight for the crown dunmore's troops were overwhelmed by patriots at great bridge and dunmore fled to naval ships anchored off norfolk subsequent negotiations broke down so dunmore ordered the ships to destroy the town fighting broke out on november 19 in south carolina between loyalist and patriot militias and the loyalists were subsequently driven out of the colony loyalists were recruited in north carolina to reassert colonial rule in the south but they were decisively defeated and loyalist sentiment was subdued a troop of british regulars set out to reconquer south carolina and launched an attack on charleston on june 28 1776 but it failed and effectively left the south in patriot control until 1780. the shortage of gunpowder had led congress to authorize an expedition against the bahamas colony in the british west indies in order to secure ordnance there on march 3 1776 the americans landed after a bloodless exchange of fire and the local militia offered no resistance they confiscated all the supplies that they could load and sailed away on march 17. the squadron reached new london connecticut on april 8 after a brief skirmish with the royal navy frigate hms glasgow on april 6. political reactions after fighting began congress launched a final attempt to avert war which parliament rejected as insincere king george then issued a proclamation of rebellion on august 23 1775 which only served to embolden the colonists in their determination to become independent after a speech by the king parliament rejected coercive measures on the colonies by 170 votes british tories refused to compromise while whigs argued that current policy would drive the colonists towards independence despite opposition the king himself began micromanaging the war effort the irish parliament pledged to send troops to america and irish catholics were allowed to enlist in the army for the first time irish protestants favored the americans while catholics favored the king the initial hostilities provided a sobering military lesson for the british causing them to rethink their views on colonial military capability the weak british response gave the patriots the advantage and the british lost control over every colony the army had been deliberately kept small in england since 1688 to prevent abuses of power by the king parliament secured treaties with small german states for additional troops and sent an army of 32 000 men to america after a year the largest that it had ever sent outside europe at the time in the colonies the success of thomas payne's pamphlet common sense had boosted public support for independence on july 2nd congress voted in favor of independence with 12 affirmatives and one abstention issuing its declaration on july 4. washington read the declaration to his men and the citizens of new york on july 9 invigorating the crowd to tear down a lead statue of the king and melting it to make bullets british tories criticized the signatories for not extending the same standards of equality to slaves patriots followed independence with the test laws requiring residents to swear allegiance to the state in which they lived intending to root out neutrals or opponents to independents failure to do so meant possible imprisonment exile or even death american tories were barred from public office forbidden from practicing medicine and law forced to pay increased taxes or even barred from executing wills or becoming guardians to orphans congress enabled states to confiscate loyalist property to fund the war some quakers who remained neutral had their property confiscated states later prevented loyalists from collecting any debts that they were owed topic british counter-offensive 1776-1770 after regrouping at halifax william howe determined to take the fight to the americans he set sail in june 1776 and began landing troops on staten island near the entrance to new york harbor on july 2. due to poor military intelligence washington split his army to positions on manhattan island and across the east river in western long island and an informal attempt to negotiate peace was rejected by the americans on august 27 howe outflanked washington and forced him back to brooklyn heights howe restrained his subordinates from pursuit opting to besiege washington instead washington withdrew to manhattan without any losses in men or ordnance following the withdrawal the staten island peace conference failed to negotiate peace as the british delegates did not possess the authority to recognise independence howe then seized control of new york city on september 15 and unsuccessfully engaged the americans the following day he attempted to encircle washington but the americans successfully withdrew on october 28 the british fought an indecisive action against washington in which howe declined to attack washington's army instead concentrating his efforts upon a hill that was of no strategic value washington's retreat left his forces isolated and the british captured an american fortification on november 16 taking 3000 prisoners and amounting to what won historian terms the most disastrous defeat of the entire war washington's army fell back four days later henry clinton then captured newport rhode island an operation which he opposed feeling that the 6000 troops assigned to him could have been better employed in the pursuit of washington the american prisoners were then sent to the infamous prison ships in which more american soldiers and sailors died of disease and neglect than died in every battle of the war combined charles cornwallis pursued washington but how ordered him to halt and washington marched away unmolested.the outlook of the american cause was bleak the army had dwindled to fewer than 5000 men and would be reduced further when the enlistments expired at the end of the year popular support wavered morale ebbed away and congress abandoned philadelphia loyalist activity surged in the wake of the american defeat especially in new york news of the campaign was well received in britain festivities took place in london public support reached a peak and the king awarded the order of the bath to william howe the successes led to predictions that the british could win within a year the american defeat revealed what one writer views as washington's strategic deficiencies such as dividing a numerically weaker army in the face of a stronger one his inexperienced staff misreading the situation and his troops fleeing in disorder when fighting began in the meantime the british entered winter quarters and were in a good place to resume campaigning on december 25 1776 washington stealthily crossed the delaware river and his army overwhelmed the hessian garrison at trenton new jersey the following morning taking 900 prisoners the decisive victory rescued the army's flagging morale and gave a new hope to the cause for independence cornwallis marched to retake trenton but his efforts were repulsed on january 2nd washington outmaneuvered cornwallis that night and defeated his rearguard the following day the victories proved instrumental in convincing the french and spanish that the americans were worthwhile allies as well as recovering morale in the army washington entered winter quarters at morristown new jersey on january 6 though a protracted guerrilla conflict continued while encamped howe made no attempt to attack much to washington's amazement british northern strategy fails 1777-1778 in december 1776 john burgoyne returned to london to set strategy with lord george germain burgoyne's plan was to establish control of the champlain george hudson route from new york to quebec isolating new england efforts could then be concentrated on the southern colonies where it was believed loyalist support was in abundance burgoyne's plan was to lead an army along lake champlain while a strategic diversion advanced along the mohawk river and both would rendezvous at albany burgoyne set out on june 14 1777 quickly capturing ticonderoga on july 5. leaving 1 300 men behind as a garrison burgoyne continued the advance progress was slow the americans blocked roads destroyed bridges dammed streams and denuded the area of food meanwhile berry street ledger's diversionary column laid siege to fort stanwix saint legere withdrew to quebec on august 22 after his indian support abandoned him on august 16 a hessian foraging expedition was soundly defeated at bennington and more than 700 troops were captured meanwhile the vast majority of burgoyne's indian support abandoned him and how informed burgoyne he would launch his campaign on philadelphia as planned and would be unable to render aid bergoyn decided to continue the advance on september 19 he attempted to flank the american position and clashed at freeman's farm the british won but at the cost of 600 casualties burgoyne then dug in but suffered a constant hemorrhage of deserters and critical supplies were running low on october 7 a british reconnaissance in force against the american lines was repulsed with heavy losses burgoyne then withdrew with the americans in pursuit and by october 13 he was surrounded with no hope of relief and supplies exhausted burgoyne surrendered on october 17 and 622 soldiers became prisoners of the americans the decisive success spurred france to enter the war as an ally of the united states securing the final elements needed for victory over britain that of foreign assistance meanwhile howe launched his campaign against washington though his initial efforts to bring him to battle in june 1777 failed how declined to attack philadelphia overland via new jersey or by sea via the delaware bay even though both options would have enabled him to assist burgoyne if necessary instead he took his army on a time-consuming route through the chesapeake bay leaving him completely unable to assist burgoyne this decision was so difficult to understand house critics accused him of treason how outflanked and defeated washington on september 11 though he failed to follow up on the victory and destroy his army a british victory at willistown left philadelphia defenseless and how captured the city unopposed on september 26 hou then moved 9000 men to germantown north of philadelphia washington launched a surprise attack on house garrison on october 4 which was eventually repulsed again how did not follow up on his victory leaving the american army intact and able to fight later after several days of probing american defenses at white marsh how inexplicably ordered a retreat to philadelphia astonishing both sides howe ignored the vulnerable american rear where an attack could have deprived washington of his baggage and supplies on december 19 washington's army entered winter quarters at valley forge poor conditions and supply problems resulted in the deaths of some 2500 troops howe only 20 miles 32 kilometers away made no effort to attack which critics observed could have ended the war the continental army was put through a new training program supervised by baron von steuben introducing the most modern prussian methods of drilling meanwhile hau resigned and was replaced by henry clinton on may 24 1778. clinton received orders to abandon philadelphia and fortify new york following france's entry into the war on june 18 the british departed philadelphia with the reinvigorated americans in pursuit the two armies fought at monmouth court house on june 28 with the americans holding the field greatly boosting morale and confidence by july both armies were back in the same positions they had been two years prior foreign intervention the defeat at saratoga caused considerable anxiety in britain over foreign intervention the north ministry sought reconciliation with the colonies by consenting to their original demands although lord north refused to grant independence no positive reply was received from the americans french foreign minister the comte de vergenze was strongly anti-british and he sought a case's belly to go to war with britain following the conquest of canada in 1763. the french had covertly supplied the americans through neutral dutch ports since the onset of the war proving invaluable throughout the saratoga campaign the french public favored war though vergenz and king louis xvi were hesitant owing to the military and financial risk the american victory at saratoga convinced the french that supporting the patriots was worthwhile but doing so also brought major concerns the king was concerned that britain's concessions would be accepted and that she would then reconcile with the colonies to strike at french and spanish possessions in the caribbean to prevent this france formally recognized the united states on february 6 1778 and followed with a military alliance france aimed to expel britain from the newfoundland fishery end restrictions on dunkirk sovereignty regain free trade in india recover senegal and dominica and restore the treaty of utrecht provisions pertaining to anglo-french trade spain was wary of provoking war with britain before she was ready so she covertly supplied the patriots via her colonies in new spain congress hoped to persuade spain into an open alliance so the first american commission met with the count of aranda in 1776. spain was still reluctant to make an early commitment owing to a lack of direct french involvement the threat against their treasure fleets and the possibility of war with portugal spain's neighbor and a close ally of britain however spain affirmed its desire to support the americans the following year hoping to weaken britain's empire in the spanish portuguese war 1776-77 the portuguese threat was neutralized on the 12th of april 1779 spain signed the treaty of aranwas with france and went to war against britain spain sought to recover gibraltar and menorca in europe as well as mobile and pensacola in florida and also to expel the british from central america meanwhile george iii had given up on subduing america while britain had a european war to fight he did not welcome war with france but he believed that britain had made all necessary steps to avoid it and cited the british victories over france in the seven years war as a reason to remain optimistic britain tried in vain to find a powerful ally to engage france leaving it isolated preventing britain from focusing the majority of her efforts in one theater and forcing a major diversion of military resources from america despite this the king determined never to recognise american independence and to ravage the colonies indefinitely or until they pleaded to return to the yoke of the crown mayhan argues that britain's attempt to fight in multiple theaters simultaneously without major allies was fundamentally flawed citing impossible mutual support exposing the forces to defeat in detail since the outbreak of the conflict britain had appealed to her ally the neutral dutch republic to loan her the use of the scots brigade for service in america but pro-american sentiment among the dutch public forced them to deny the request consequently the british attempted to invoke several treaties for outright dutch military support but the republic still refused moreover american troops were being supplied with ordinance by dutch merchants via their west indies colonies french supplies bound for america had also passed through dutch ports the republic maintained free trade with france following france's declaration of war on britain citing a prior concession by britain on this issue britain responded by confiscating dutch shipping and even firing upon it consequently the republic joined the first league of armed neutrality to enforce their neutral status the republic had also given sanctuary to american privateers and had drafted a treaty of commerce with the americans britain argued that these actions contravened the republic's neutral stance and declared war in december 1780. international war breaks out 1778-1780 europe soon after france declared war french and british fleets fought an indecisive action off eushant on the 27th of july 1778. spain entered the war on the 12th of april 1779 with a primary goal of capturing gibraltar spanish troops under the duck dekrillon laid siege to the rock on the 24th of june the naval blockade however was relatively weak and the british were able to resupply the garrison meanwhile a plan was formulated for a combined franco-spanish invasion of the british mainland but the expedition failed due to a combination of poor planning disease logistical issues and high financial expenditures however a diversionary franco-american squadron did meet with some success on the 23rd of september under john paul jones on the 16th of january 1780 the royal navy under george rodney scored a major victory over the spanish weakening the naval blockade of gibraltar a franco-spanish fleet commanded by luis de cordova intercepted and decisively defeated a large british convoy off the azores led by john motre on the 9th of august which was bound for the west indies the defeat was catastrophic for britain which lost 52 merchant ships 5 east indamen 80 000 muskets equipment for 40 000 troops 294 guns and 3144 men making it one of the most complete naval captures ever made the loss was valued at some 1.5 million pounds 181 million pounds in today's money dealing a severe blow to british commerce topic americas the french blockaded the lucrative sugar islands of barbados and jamaica intending to damage british trade french troops led by the marquis de boulet captured dominica on the 7th of september 1778 in order to improve communication among french caribbean islands and to strike a blow to privateering the british defeated a french naval force on the 15th of december and captured saint lucia on the 28th of december both fleets received reinforcements through the first half of 1779 but the french under the compti destiny had superiority in the caribbean and began capturing british territories seizing saint vincent on the 18th of june and grenada on the 4th of july the british fleet under john byron was tactically defeated on july 6 having pursued destiny from granada the worst loss that the royal navy had suffered since 1690. naval skirmishes continued until the 17th of april 1780 when british and french fleets clashed indecisively off martinique general bernardo de galvez raised an army in new orleans and drove the british out of the gulf of mexico galvez captured five british forts in the lower mississippi valley they repelled a british and indian attack in saint louis missourian captured the british fort of saint joseph in present-day niles michigan with reinforcements from cuba mexico puerto rico galvez captured mobile and pensacola the capital of the british colony of west florida at pensacola galvez commanded a multinational army of over 7000 black and white soldiers these men were born in spain cuba mexico puerto rico santo domingo and other spanish colonies such as venezuela in central america the defense of guatemala was a priority for spain the british intended to capture the key fortress of san fernando de omoa and drive the spanish from the region after inadequate first attempts 1200 british troops led by william dalrymple arrived on the 16th of october and they captured the fort on the 20th of october however the british suffered terribly due to disease and were forced to abandon the fort on the 29th of november spanish troops subsequently reoccupied it in 1780 jamaica's governor john daling planned an expedition to cut new spain in two by capturing grenada which would subsequently allow them full control of the san juan river a british expedition set out on the 3rd of february 1780 led by john polson and horatio nelson they reached fort san juan on the 17th of march and laid siege capturing it on the 29th of april the british were ravaged by disease and were running low on food due to poor logistics they withdrew on the 8th of november the expedition having suffered a decisive defeat some 2500 troops had perished making it the costliest british disaster of the war india the british east india company moved quickly to capture french possessions in india when they learned about the hostilities with france and they took pondicherry on the 19th of october 1778 after a two weeks each the company resolved to drive the french completely out of india and they captured the malabar port of mae in 1779 where french ordnance passed through mae was under the protection of mysore's ruler haider ali the tipu sultan and tensions were already inflamed because the british had supported malabar rebels who had risen against him so the fall of mae precipitated war hyder alley invaded the carnatic region in july 1780 and laid siege to teletery and archot a british relief force of 7000 men under william bailey was intercepted and destroyed by the tipu sultan on the 10th of september the worst defeat suffered by a european army in india at the time ali then renewed the siege at arkhot instead of pressing on for a decisive victory against a second british army at madras capturing it on the 3rd of november the delay allowed british forces to regroup for campaigning the following year stalemate in the north 1778-1780 henry clinton withdrew from philadelphia consolidating his forces in new york following the british defeat at saratoga and the entry of france into the war french admiral the compti destang had been dispatched to north america in april 1778 to assist washington and he arrived shortly after clinton withdrew into new york the franco-american forces felt that new york's defenses were too formidable for the french fleet and they opted to attack newport this effort was launched on august 29 but it failed when the french opted to withdraw and this displeased the americans the war then ground down to a stalemate with the majority of actions fought as large skirmishes such as those at chestnut neck and little egg harbour in the summer of 1779 the americans captured british posts at stony point and paulus hook in july clinton unsuccessfully attempted to coax washington into a decisive engagement by making a major raid into connecticut that month a large american naval operation attempted to retake maine but it resulted in the worst american naval defeat until pearl harbor in 1941. the high frequency of iroquois raids on the locals compelled washington to mount a punitive expedition which destroyed a large number of iroquois settlements but the effort ultimately failed to stop the raids during the winter of 1779-80 the continental army suffered greater hardships than at valley forge morale was poor public support was being eroded by the long war the national currency was virtually worthless the army was plagued with supply problems desertion was common and whole regiments mutinied over the conditions in early 1780. in 1780 clinton launched an attempt to retake new jersey on june 7 6 000 men invaded under hessian general wilhelm von niefausen but they met stiff resistance from the local militia the british held the field but nephausen feared a general engagement with washington's main army and withdrew nifasan and clinton decided upon a second attempt two weeks later which was soundly defeated at springfield effectively ending british ambitions in new jersey meanwhile american general benedict arnold had defected to the british and he conspired to betray the key american fortress of west point by surrendering it to the enemy the plot was foiled when british spy master john andre was captured so arnold fled to british lines in new york he attempted to justify his betrayal by appealing to loyalist public opinion but the patriots strongly condemned him as a coward and turncoat.the war to the west of the appalachians was largely confined to skirmishing and raids an expedition of militia was halted due to adverse weather in february 1778 which had set out to destroy british military supplies in settlements along the cuyahoga river later in the year a second campaign was undertaken to seize the illinois country from the british the americans captured kaskaskia on july 4 and then secured vincennes although vincennes was recaptured by henry hamilton the british commander at detroit in early 1779 the americans counter-attacked by undertaking a risky winter march and they secured the surrender of the british at vincennes taking hamilton prisoner on may 25 1780. the british launched an expedition into kentucky as part of a wider operation to clear resistance from quebec to the gulf coast the expedition met with only limited success though hundreds of settlers were killed or captured the americans responded with a major offensive along the mad river in august which met with some success but it did little to abate the indian raids on the frontier french militia attempted to capture detroit but it ended in disaster when miami indians ambushed and defeated the gathered troops on november 5. the war in the west had become a stalemate the americans did not have the manpower to simultaneously defeat the hostile indian tribes and occupy their land topic war in the south 1778-1781 the british turned their attention to conquering the south in 1778 after loyalists in london assured them of a strong loyalist base there a southern campaign also had the advantage of keeping the royal navy closer to the caribbean where it would be needed to defend lucrative colonies against the franco-spanish fleets on december 29 1778 an expeditionary corps from new york captured savannah and british troops then moved inland to recruit loyalist support there was a promising initial turnout in early 1779 but then a large loyalist militia was defeated at kettle creek on february 14 and they had to recognize their dependence upon the british the british however defeated patriot militia at briar creek on march 3 and then launched an abortive assault on charleston south carolina the operation became notorious for its high degree of looting by british troops enraging both loyalists and patriot colonists in october a combined franco-american effort failed to recapture savannah in may 1780 henry clinton captured charleston taking over 5000 prisoners and effectively destroying the continental army in the south organized american resistance in the region collapsed when banistry tarleton defeated the withdrawing americans at waxhaws on may 29. clinton returned to new york leaving charles cornwallis in command in charleston to oversee the southern war effort far fewer loyalists than expected joined him in the interim the war was carried on by patriot militias who effectively suppressed loyalists by winning victories in fairfield county lincolnton hux defeat stanley county and lancaster county congress appointed horatio gates victor at saratoga to lead the american effort in the south he suffered a major defeat at camden on august 16 1780 setting the stage for cornwallis to invade north carolina the british attempted to subjugate the countryside and patriot militia continued to fight against them so cornwallis dispatched troops to raise loyalist forces to cover his left flank as he moved north this wing of cornwallis army was virtually destroyed on october 7 irreversibly breaking loyalist support in the carolinas cornwallis subsequently aborted his advance and retreated back into south carolina in the interim washington replaced gates with his trusted subordinate nathanael green green was unable to confront the british directly so he dispatched a force under daniel morgan to recruit additional troops morgan then defeated the cream of the british army under tarleton on january 17 1781 at cowpens cornwallis was criticized for having detached a substantial part of his army without adequate support but he advanced into north carolina despite the setbacks gambling that he would receive substantial loyalist support there green evaded combat with cornwallis instead wearing his army down through a protracted war of attrition by march greene's army had increased in size enough that he felt confident in facing cornwallis the two armies engaged at guilford courthouse on march 15. green was beaten but cornwallis army suffered irreplaceable casualties compounding this far fewer loyalists were joining than the british had previously expected cornwallis casualties were such that he was compelled to retreat to wilmington for reinforcement leaving the patriots in control of the interior of the carolinas and georgia greene then proceeded to reclaim the south the american troops suffered a reversal at hobkirk's hill on april 25 nonetheless they continued to dislodge strategic british posts in the area capturing fort watson and fort mott augusta was the last major british outpost in the south outside of charleston and savannah but the americans reclaimed possession of it on june 6. a british force clashed with american troops at utah springs on september 8 in a final effort to stop green but the british casualties were so high that they withdrew to charleston minor skirmishes continued in the carolinas until the end of the war and british troops were effectively confined to charleston and savannah for the remainder of the conflict topic british defeat in america 1781 cornwallis had discovered that the majority of american supplies in the carolinas were passing through virginia and he had written to both lord german and clinton detailing his intentions to invade cornwallis believed that a successful campaign there would cut supplies to green's army and precipitate a collapse of american resistance in the south clinton strongly opposed the plan favoring a campaign farther north in the chesapeake bay region lord germain wrote to cornwallis to approve his plan and neglected to include clinton in the decision-making even though clinton was cornwallis superior officer and cornwallis then decided to move into virginia without informing clinton clinton however had failed to construct a coherent strategy for british operations in 1781 owing to his difficult relationship with his naval counterpart marriott arbuthnot following the calamitous operations at newport and savannah french planners realized that closer cooperation with the americans was required to achieve success the french fleet led by the comte de grasse had received discretionary orders from paris to assist joint efforts in the north if naval support was needed washington and the compti de rochambeau discussed their options washington pushed for an attack on new york while roshambo preferred a strike in virginia where the british were less well-established and thus easier to defeat franco-american movements around new york caused clinton a great deal of anxiety fearing an attack on the city his instructions were vague to cornwallis during this time rarely forming explicit orders however clinton did instruct cornwallis to establish a fortified naval base and to transfer troops to the north to defend new york cornwallis dug in at yorktown and awaited the royal navy washington still favored an assault on new york but he acquiesced to the french when they opted to send their fleet to their preferred target of yorktown in august the combined franco-american army moved south to coordinate with degrasse in defeating cornwallis the british lacked sufficient naval resources to effectively counter the french but they dispatched a fleet under thomas graves to assist cornwallis and attempt to gain naval dominance on september 5 the french fleet decisively defeated graves giving the french control of the seas around yorktown and cutting off cornwallis from reinforcements and relief despite the continued urging of his subordinates cornwallis made no attempt to break out and engage the franco-american army before it had established siege works expecting that reinforcements would arrive from new york and the franco-american army laid siege to yorktown on september 28th cornwallis continued to think that relief was imminent from clinton and he abandoned his outer defenses which were immediately occupied by american troops serving to hasten his subsequent defeat the british then failed in an attempt to break out of the siege across the river at gloucester point when a storm hit cornwallis and his subordinates were under increasing bombardment and facing dwindling supplies they agreed that their situation was untenable and negotiated a surrender on october 17 1781 and 7685 soldiers became prisoners of the americans the same day as the surrender 6000 troops under clinton had departed new york sailing to relieve yorktown north ministry collapses on the 25th of november 1781 news arrived in london of the surrender at yorktown the whig opposition gained traction in parliament and a motion was proposed on december 12 to end the war which was defeated by only one vote on the 27th of february 1782 the house voted against further war in america by 19 votes lord germain was dismissed and a vote of no confidence was passed against north the rockingham whigs came to power and opened negotiations for peace rockingham died and was succeeded by the earl of shelburne despite their defeat the british still had 30 000 troops garrisoned in new york charleston and savannah henry clinton was recalled and was replaced by guy carlton who was under orders to suspend offensive operations final years of the war 1781-1783 europe after hostilities with the dutch began in late 1780 britain had moved quickly enforcing a blockade across the north sea within weeks the british had captured 200 dutch merchantmen and 300 more were holed up in foreign ports though political turmoil within the republic and peace negotiations by both sides helped keep conflict to a minimum the majority of the dutch public favored a military alliance with france against britain however the dutch staffholder impeded these efforts hoping to secure an early piece to restore diminishing trade a dutch squadron under johann zautman escorted a fleet of some 70 merchantmen from the texel zoutman's ships were intercepted by sir hyde parker who engaged zautman at dogger bank on the 5th of august 1781. though the contest was tactically inconclusive the dutch fleet did not leave harbor again during the war and their merchant fleet remained crippled on the 6th of january 1781 a french attempt to capture jersey to neutralize british privateering failed frustrated in their attempts to capture gibraltar a franco-spanish force of fourteen thousand men under the duck domain invaded menorca on the 19th of august after a long siege of saint phillips the british garrison under james murray surrendered on the 5th of february 1782 securing a primary war goal for the spanish at gibraltar a major franco-spanish assault on the 13th of september 1782 was repulsed with heavy casualties on the 20th of october 1782 following a successful resupply of gibraltar british ships under richard howe successfully refused battle to the franco-spanish fleet under luis de cordova denying cordova dominance at sea on the 7th of february 1783 after 1322 days of siege the franco-spanish army withdrew decisively defeated americas sint eustatius a key supply port for the patriots was sacked by british forces under george rodney on the 3rd of february 1781 who plundered the island's wealth few operations were conducted against the dutch although several dutch colonies were captured by the british in 1781 after the fall of mobile to spanish troops under bernardo de galvez an attempt to capture pensacola was thwarted due to a hurricane emboldened by the disaster john campbell british commander at pensacola decided to recapture mobile campbell's expeditionary force of around 700 men was defeated on the 7th of january 1781. after regrouping at havana galvez set out for pensacola on the 13th of february arriving on the 9th of march siege operations did not begin until the 24th of march owing to difficulties in bringing the ships into the bay after a 45-day siege galvez decisively defeated the garrison securing the conquest of west florida in may spanish troops captured the bahamas although the british bloodlessly recaptured the islands the following year on the 18th of april in the west indies on 29-30 april 1781 a royal navy squadron under samuel hood was narrowly defeated by the french led by the compti de grasse who continued seizing british territories tobago fell on the 2nd of june demara and essequibo on the 22nd of january 1782 saint kitts and nevis on the 12th of february despite a british naval victory on the 25th of january and montserrat on the 22nd of february in 1782 the primary strategic goal of the french and spanish was the capture of jamaica whose sugar exports were more valuable to the british than the thirteen colonies combined on the 7th of april 1782 degrasse departed martinique to rendezvous with franco-spanish troops at saint domingue and invade jamaica from the north the british underhood and george rodney pursued and decisively defeated the french off dominica between 9-12 april the franco-spanish plan to conquer jamaica was in ruins and the balance of naval power in the caribbean shifted to the royal navy in guatemala matthias de galvez led spanish troops in an effort to dislocate british settlements along the gulf of honduras galvez captured roetan on the 16th of march 1782. and then quickly took black river following the decisive naval victory at the saintes archibald campbell the royal governor of jamaica authorized edward despard to retake black river which he did on the 22nd of august however with peace talks opening and franco-spanish resources committed to the siege of gibraltar no further offensive operations took place india following dutch entry into the conflict east india company troops under hector monroe captured the dutch port of negapatm after a three-week siege on the 11th of october 1781. soon after british admiral edward hughes captured trincomalee after a brief engagement on the 11th of january 1782 in march 1781 french admiral bayley de suffran was dispatched to india to assist colonial efforts suffran arrived off the indian coast in february 1782 where he clashed with a british fleet under hughes winning a narrow tactical victory after landing troops at portu novo to assist mysore suffran's fleet clashed with hughes again providian on the 12th of april there was no clear victor though hugh's fleet came off worse and he withdrew to the british-held port of trincomalee hider alley wished for the french to capture negapatm to establish naval dominance over the british and this task fell to suffern suffran's fleet clashed with hughes again off negapatm on the 6th of july suffran withdrew to cuddler strategically defeated and the british remained in control of negapatm intending to find a more suitable port than cuddler suffran captured trincomalee on the 1st of september and successfully engaged hughes two days later meanwhile ali's troops loosely blockaded velour as the east india company regrouped company troops under sir er coote led a counter-offensive defeating ally at portu novo on the 1st of july 1781 paloler on the 27th of august and shoaling her on the 27th of september expelling the mysorian troops from the carnatic on the 18th of february 1782 tipu sultan defeated john braithwaite near tanjore taking his entire 1800 strong force prisoner the war had by this point reached an uneasy stalemate on the 7th of december 1782 haider ali died and the rule of mysore passed to his son tipu sultan sultan advanced along the west coast laying siege to mangalore on the 20th of may 1783. meanwhile on the east coast an army under james stewart besieged the french-held port of cudalur on the 9th of june 1783. on the 20th of june key british naval support for the siege was neutralized when suffran defeated hughes fleet off cuddler and though narrow the victory gave suffran the opportunity to displace british holdings in india on the 25th of june the franco-missourian defenders made repeated sorties against british lines though all assaults failed on the 30th of june news arrived of a preliminary peace between the belligerent powers and the siege was effectively over when the french abandoned the siege mangalore remained under siege and capitulated to sultan on the 30th of january 1784. little fighting took place thereafter and mysore and britain made peace on the 11th of march peace of paris following the surrender at yorktown the whig party came to power in britain and began opening negotiations for a cessation of hostilities while peace negotiations were being undertaken british troops in america were restricted from launching further offensives prime minister the earl of shelburne was reluctant to accept american independence as a prerequisite for peace as the british were aware that the french economy was nearly bankrupt and reinforcements sent to the west indies could potentially reverse the situation there he preferred that the colonies accept dominion status within the empire though a similar offer had been rejected by the americans in 1778. negotiations soon began in paris the americans initially demanded that quebec be ceded to them as spoils of war a proposal that was dropped when shelburne accepted american demands for recognition of independence on april 19 1782 the dutch formally recognized the united states as a sovereign power enhancing american leverage at the negotiations spain initially impeded the negotiations refusing to enter into peace talks until gibraltar had been captured the compti divergence proposed that american territory be confined to the east of the appalachians britain would have sovereignty over the area north of the ohio river below which an indian barrier state would be established under spanish control the united states fiercely opposed the proposal the americans skirted their allies recognizing that more favorable terms would be found in london they negotiated directly with shelburne who hoped to make britain a valuable trading partner of america at the expense of france to this end shelburne offered to cede all the land east of the mississippi river north of florida and south of quebec while also allowing american fishermen access to the rich newfoundland fishery shelburne was hoping to facilitate the growth of the american population creating lucrative markets that britain could exploit at no administrative cost to london as virgenze commented the english by peace rather than make it throughout the negotiations britain never consulted her american indian allies forcing them to reluctantly accept the treaty however the subsequent tension erupted into conflicts between the indians and the young united states the largest being the northwest indian war britain continued trying to create an indian buffer state in the american midwest as late as 1814 during the war of 1812 britain negotiated separate treaties with spain france and the dutch republic gibraltar proved to be a stumbling block in the peace talks spain offered to relinquish their conquests in west florida menorca and the bahamas in exchange for gibraltar terms which shelburne steadfastly refused shelburne instead offered to cede east florida west florida and menorca if spain would relinquish the claim on gibraltar terms which were reluctantly accepted however in the long term the new territorial gains were of little value to spain france's only net gains were the island of tobago in the caribbean and senegal in africa after agreeing to return all other colonial conquests to british sovereignty britain returned dutch caribbean territories to dutch sovereignty in exchange for free trade rights in the dutch east indies and control of the indian port of negapotnam preliminary peace articles were signed in paris on the 30th of november 1782 while preliminaries between britain spain france and the netherlands continued until september 1783. the united states congress of the confederation ratified the treaty of paris on january 14 1784 copies were sent back to europe for ratification by the other parties involved the first reaching france in march 1784. british ratification occurred on april 9 1784 and the ratified versions were exchanged in paris on may 12 1784. the war formally concluded on september 3 1783 the last british troops departed new york city on november 25 1783 marking the end of british rule in the new united states topic aftermath topic casualties and losses americans and allies the total loss of life throughout the conflict is largely unknown as was typical in wars of the era diseases such as smallpox claimed more lives than battle between 1775 and 1782 a smallpox epidemic broke out throughout north america killing 40 people in boston alone historian joseph ellis suggests that washington's decision to have his troops inoculated against the disease was one of his most important decisions between 25 000 and 70 000 american patriots died during active military service of these approximately 6800 were killed in battle while at least 17 000 died from disease the majority of the latter died while prisoners of war of the british mostly in the prison ships in new york harbor if the upper limit of 70 000 is accepted as the total net loss for the patriots it would make the conflict proportionally deadlier than the american civil war uncertainty arises due to the difficulties in accurately calculating the number of those who succumbed to disease as it is estimated at least 10 000 died in 1776 alone the number of patriots seriously wounded or disabled by the war has been estimated from 8500 to 25 000. the french suffered approximately 7000 total dead throughout the conflict of those 2112 were killed in combat in the american theaters of war the dutch suffered around 500 total killed owing to the minor scale of their conflict with britain british and allies british returns in 1783 listed 43633 rank and file deaths across the british armed forces a table from 1781 puts total british army deaths at 9 372 soldiers killed in battle across the americas 6046 in north america 1775-1779 and 3326 in the west indies 1778-1780 in 1784 a british lieutenant compiled a detailed list of 205 british officers killed in action during the war encompassing europe the caribbean and the east indies extrapolations based upon this list puts british army losses in the area of at least 4 000 killed or died of wounds approximately 7774 germans died in british service in addition to 4888 deserters of the former it is estimated 1800 were killed in combat around 171 000 sailors served in the royal navy during the war approximately a quarter of whom had been pressed into service around 1240 were killed in battle while an estimated 18500 died from disease 1776-1780 the greatest killer at sea was scurvy a disease caused by vitamin c deficiency it was not until 1795 that scurvy was eradicated from the royal navy after the admiralty declared lemon juice and sugar were to be issued among the standard daily rations of sailors around 42 000 sailors deserted during the war the impact on merchant shipping was substantial an estimated 3386 merchant ships were seized by enemy forces during the war of those 2283 were taken by american privateers alone topic financial debts at the start of the war the economy of the colonies was flourishing and the free white population enjoyed the highest standard of living in the world the royal navy enforced a naval blockade during the war to financially the colonies however this proved unsuccessful 90 of the population worked in farming not in coastal trade and as such the american economy proved resilient enough to withstand the blockade congress had immense difficulties throughout the conflict to efficiently finance the war effort as the circulation of hard currency declined the americans had to rely on loans from american merchants and bankers france spain and the netherlands saddling the young nation with crippling debts congress attempted to remedy this by printing vast amounts of paper money and bills of credit to raise revenue the effect was disastrous inflation skyrocketed and the paper money became virtually worthless the inflation spanned a popular phrase that anything of little value was not worth a continental by 1791 the united states had accumulated a national debt of approximately 75.5 million dollars the united states finally solved its debt and currency problems in the 1790s when secretary of the treasury alexander hamilton secured legislation by which the national government assumed all of the state debts and in addition created a national bank and a funding system based on tariffs and bond issues that paid off the foreign debts britain spent around 80 million pounds and ended with a national debt of 250 million pounds 27.1 billion pounds in today's money generating a yearly interest of 9.5 million pounds annually the debts piled upon that which it had already accumulated from the seven years war due to wartime taxation upon the british populace the tax for the average britain amounted to approximately four shilling in every pound or 20 percent the french spent approximately 1.3 billion libras on aiding the americans accumulating a national debt of 3.314 billion libras by 1783 on war costs unlike britain which had a very efficient taxation system the french tax system was highly unstable eventually leading to a financial crisis in 1786. the deaths contributed to a worsening fiscal crisis that ultimately begat the french revolution at the end of the century the debt continued to spiral on the eve of the french revolution the national debt had skyrocketed to 12 billion libras spain had nearly doubled her military spending during the war from 454 million reels in 1778 to over 700 million in 1779. spain more easily disposed of her debts unlike her french ally partially due to the massive increase in silver mining in her american colonies production increased approximately 600 in mexico and by 250 in peru and bolivia analysis of combatants great britain the population of great britain and ireland in 1780 was approximately 12.6 million while the 13 colonies held a population of some 2.8 million including some 500 000 slaves theoretically britain had the advantage however many factors inhibited the procurement of a large army topic armed forces recruitment in 1775 the standing british army exclusive of militia comprised 45 123 men worldwide made up of 38254 infantry and 6869 cavalry the army had approximately 18 regiments of foot some 8500 men stationed in north america standing armies had played a key role in the purge of the long parliament in 1648. the maintenance of a military dictatorship under oliver cromwell and the overthrow of james ii and as such the army had been deliberately kept small in peacetime to prevent abuses of power by the king despite this 18th century armies were not easy guests and were regarded with scorn and contempt by the press and public of the new and old world alike derided as enemies of liberty an expression ran in the navy a messmate before a shipmate a shipmate before a stranger a stranger before a dog a dog before a soldier parliament suffered chronic difficulties in obtaining sufficient manpower and found it impossible to fill the quotas they had set the army was a deeply unpopular profession one contentious issue being pay a private infantryman was paid a wage of just 8 d per day the same pay is for a new model army infantryman 130 years earlier the rate of pay in the army was insufficient to meet the rising costs of living turning off potential recruits as service was nominally for life to entice people to enroll parliament offered a bounty of 1 pound and 10 pence s for every recruit as the war dragged on parliament became desperate for manpower criminals were offered military service to escape legal penalties and deserters were pardoned if they rejoined their units after the defeat at saratoga parliament doubled the bounty to three pounds and increased it again the following year to three pounds and 30 pence s as well as expanding the age limit from 17 to 45 to 16 to 50 years of age impressment essentially conscription by the press gang was a favored recruiting method though it was unpopular with the public leading many to enlist in local militias to avoid regular service attempts were made to draft such levies much to the chagrin of the militia commanders competition between naval and army press gangs and even between rival ships or regiments frequently resulted in brawls between the gangs in order to secure recruits for their unit men would maim themselves to avoid the press gangs while many deserted at the first opportunity pressed men were militarily unreliable regiments with large numbers of such men were deployed to garrisons such as gibraltar or the west indies purely to increase the difficulty in successfully deserting by 1781 the army numbered approximately 121 000 men globally 48 000 of whom were stationed throughout the americas of the 171 000 sailors who served in the royal navy throughout the conflict around a quarter were pressed this same proportion approximately 42 000 men deserted during the conflict at its height the navy had 94 ships of the line 104 frigates and 37 sloops in service loyalists and hessians in 1775 britain unsuccessfully attempted to secure 20 000 mercenaries from russia and the use of the scots brigade from the dutch republic such was the shortage of manpower parliament managed to negotiate treaties with the princes of german states for large sums of money in exchange for mercenary troops in total 29875 troops were hired for british service from six german states brunswick 5723 hess castle 16992 hess hanau 2422 ansbach byroid 2353 waldek pyrmont 1225 and anholtz erps 1160 king george iii who also ruled hanover as a prince elector of the holy roman empire was approached by parliament to loan the government hanoverian soldiers for service in the war hanover supplied 2365 men in five battalions however the lease agreement permitted them to only be used in europe without any major allies the manpower shortage became critical when france and spain entered the war forcing a major diversion of military resources from the americas recruiting adequate numbers of loyalist militia in america proved difficult due to high patriot activity to bolster numbers the british promised freedom and grants of land to slaves who fought for them approximately 25 000 loyalists fought for the british throughout the war and provided some of the best troops in the british service the british legion a mixed regiment of 250 dragoons and 200 infantry commanded by banistry tarleton gained a fearsome reputation in the colonies especially in the south topic leadership britain had a difficult time appointing a determined senior military leadership in america thomas gage commander-in-chief of north america at the outbreak of the war was criticized for being too lenient on the rebellious colonists jeffrey amherst who was appointed commander in chief of the forces in 1778 refused a direct command in america due to unwillingness to take sides in the war admiral augustus keppel similarly opposed a command stating i cannot draw the sword in such a cause the earl of effingham resigned his commission when his regiment was posted to america while william howe and john burgoyne were opposed to military solutions to the crisis howe and henry clinton both stated they were unwilling participants and were only following orders as was the case in many european armies except the prussian army officers in british service could purchase commissions to ascend the ranks despite repeated attempts by parliament to suppress it the practice was common in the army values of commissions varied but were usually in line with social and military prestige for example regiments such as the guards commanded the highest prices the lower ranks often regarded the treatment to high-ranking commissions by wealthier officers as plums for their consumption wealthy individuals lacking any formal military education or practical experience often found their way into positions of high responsibility diluting the effectiveness of a regiment the royal authority had forbade the practice since 1711. it was still permitted for infants to hold commissions young boys often orphans of deceased wealthy officers were taken from their schooling and placed in positions of responsibility within regiments topic logistics logistical organization of 18th century armies was chaotic at best and the british army was no exception no logistical core existed in the modern sense while on campaign in foreign territories such as america horses wagons and drivers were frequently requisitioned from the locals often by impressment or by hire no centrally organized medical corps existed it was common for surgeons to have no formal medical education and no diploma or entry examination was required nurses sometimes were apprentices to surgeons but many were drafted from the women who followed the army army surgeons and doctors were poorly paid and were regarded as social inferiors to other officers the heavy personal equipment and wool uniform of the regular infantrymen were wholly unsuitable for combat in america and the outfit was especially ill-suited to comfort and agile movement during the battle of monmouth in late june 1778 the temperature exceeded 100 degrees fahrenheit 37.8 degrees celsius and is said to have claimed more lives through heat stroke than through actual combat the standard-issue firearm of the british army was the land pattern musket some officers preferred their troops to fire careful measured shots around two per minute rather than rapid firing a bayonet made firing difficult as its cumbersome shape hampered ramming down the charge into the barrel british troops had a tendency to fire impetuously resulting in inaccurate fire a trait for which john burgoyne criticized them during the saratoga campaign burgoyne instead encouraged bayonet charges to break up enemy formations which was a preferred tactic in most european armies at the time every battalion in america had organized its own rifle company by the end of the war although rifles were not formally issued to the army until the baker rifle in 1801 flintlocks were heavily dependent on the weather high winds could blow the gunpowder from the flash pan while heavy rain could soak the paper cartridge ruining the powder and rendering the musket unable to fire furthermore flints used in british muskets were of notoriously poor quality they could only be fired around six times before requiring re-sharpening while american flints could fire 60. this led to a common expression among the british yankee flint was as good as a glass of grog provisioning troops and sailors proved to be an immense challenge as the majority of food stores had to be shipped overseas from britain the need to maintain loyalist support prevented the army from living off the land other factors also impeded this option the countryside was too sparsely populated and the inhabitants were largely hostile or indifferent the network of roads and bridges was poorly developed and the area which the british controlled was so limited that foraging parties were frequently in danger of being ambushed after france entered the war the threat of the french navy increased the difficulty of transporting supplies to america food supplies were frequently in bad condition the climate was also against the british in the southern colonies and the caribbean where the intense summer heat caused food supplies to sour and spoil life at sea was little better sailors and passengers were issued a daily food ration largely consisting of hardtack and beer the hardtack was often infested by weevils and was so tough that it earned the nicknames molar breakers and worm castles and it sometimes had to be broken up with cannon shot meat supplies often spoiled on long voyages the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables gave rise to scurvy one of the biggest killers at sea topic discipline discipline was harsh in the armed forces and the lash was used to punish even trivial offences and not used sparingly for instance two redcoats received 1000 lashes each for robbery during the saratoga campaign while another received 800 lashes for striking a superior officer flogging was a common punishment in the royal navy and came to be associated with the stereotypical hardiness of sailors despite the harsh discipline a distinct lack of self-discipline pervaded all ranks of the british forces soldiers had an intense passion for gambling reaching such excesses that troops would often wager their own uniforms many drank heavily and this was not exclusive to the lower ranks william howe was said to have seen many crapulous mornings while campaigning in new york john burgoyne drank heavily on a nightly basis towards the end of the saratoga campaign the two generals were also reported to have found solace with the wives of subordinate officers to ease the stressful burdens of command during the philadelphia campaign british officers deeply offended local quakers by entertaining their mistresses in the houses where they had been quartered some reports indicated that british troops were generally scrupulous in their treatment of non-combatants this is in contrast to diaries of hessian soldiers who recorded their disapproval of british conduct towards the colonists such as the destruction of property and the execution of prisoners the presence of hessian soldiers caused considerable anxiety among the colonists both patriot and loyalist who viewed them as brutal mercenaries british soldiers were often contemptuous in their treatment of hessian troops despite orders from general howe that the english should treat the germans as brothers the order only began to have any real effect when the hessians learned to speak a minimal degree of english which was seen as a prerequisite for the british troops to accord them any respect during peacetime the army's idleness led to it being riddled with corruption and inefficiency resulting in many administrative difficulties once campaigning began topic strategic deficiencies the british leadership soon discovered it had overestimated the capabilities of its own troops while underestimating those of the colonists causing a sudden rethink in british planning the ineffective initial response of british military and civil officials to the onset of the rebellion had allowed the advantage to shift to the colonists as british authorities rapidly lost control over every colony a microcosm of these shortcomings were evident at the battle of bunker hill it took 10 hours for the british leadership to respond following the sighting of the americans on the charlestown peninsula giving the colonists ample time to reinforce their defenses rather than opt for a simple flanking attack that would have rapidly succeeded with minimal loss the british decided on repeated frontal attacks the results were telling the british suffered 1054 casualties of a force of around 3 000 after repeated frontal assaults the british leadership had nevertheless remained excessively optimistic believing that just two regiments could suppress the rebellion in massachusetts debate persists over whether a british defeat was a guaranteed outcome furling argues that the odds were so long the defeat of britain was nothing short of a miracle ellis however considers that the odds always favored the americans and questions whether a british victory by any margin was realistic ellis argues that the british squandered their only opportunities for a decisive success in 1777 and that the strategic decisions undertaken by william howe underestimated the challenges posed by the americans ellis concludes that once howe failed the opportunity for a british victory would never come again conversely the united states army's official textbook argues that had britain been able to commit 10 000 fresh troops to the war in 1780. a british victory was within the realms of possibility william howe historians such as ellis and stuart have observed that under william house command the british squandered several opportunities to achieve a decisive victory over the americans throughout the new york and philadelphia campaigns how made several strategic errors errors which cost the british opportunities for a complete victory at long island howe failed to even attempt an encirclement of washington and actively restrained his subordinates from mounting an aggressive pursuit of the defeated american army at white plains he refused to engage washington's vulnerable army and instead concentrated his efforts upon a hill which offered the british no strategic advantage after securing control of new york howe dispatched henry clinton to capture newport a measure which clinton was opposed to on the grounds the troops assigned to his command could have been put to better use in pursuing washington's retreating army despite the bleak outlook for the revolutionary cause and the surge of loyalist activity in the wake of washington's defeats how made no attempt to mount an attack upon washington while the americans settled down into winter quarters much to their surprise during planning for the saratoga campaign howe was left with the choice of committing his army to support burgoyne or capture philadelphia the revolutionary capital howe decided upon the latter determining that washington was of a greater threat when hau launched his campaign he took his army upon a time-consuming route through the chesapeake bay rather than the more sensible choices of overland through new jersey or by sea through the delaware bay the move left him unable to assist burgoyne even if it was required of him the decision so angered parliament that howe was accused by tories on both sides of the atlantic of treason during the philadelphia campaign howe failed to pursue and destroy the defeated americans on two occasions once after the battle of brandywine and again after the battle of germantown at the battle of white marsh howe failed to even attempt to exploit the vulnerable american rear and then inexplicably ordered a retreat to philadelphia after only minor skirmishes astonishing both sides while the americans wintered only 20 miles away how made no effort to attack their camp which critics argue could have ended the war following the conclusion of the campaign howe resigned his commission and was replaced by henry clinton on may 24 1778 contrary to house more hostile critics however there were strategic factors at play which impeded aggressive action how may have been dissuaded from pursuing aggressive maneuvers due to the memory of the grievous losses the british suffered at bunker hill during the major campaigns in new york and philadelphia howe often wrote of the scarcity of adequate provisions which hampered his ability to mount effective campaigns how's tardiness in launching the new york campaign and his reluctance to allow cornwallis to vigorously pursue washington's beaten army have both been attributed to the paucity of available food supplies during the winter of 1776-1777 house split his army into scattered cantonments this decision dangerously exposed the individual forces to defeat in detail as the distance between them was such that they could not mutually support each other this strategic failure allowed the americans to achieve victory at the battle of trenton and the concurrent battle of princeton while a major strategic error to divide an army in such a manner the quantity of available food supplies in new york was so low that howe had been compelled to take such a decision the garrisons were widely spaced so their respective foraging parties would not interfere with each other's efforts house difficulties during the philadelphia campaign were also greatly exacerbated by the poor quality and quantity of available provisions clinton and cornwallis in 1780 the primary british strategy hinged upon a loyalist uprising in the south for which charles cornwallis was chiefly responsible after an encouraging success at camden cornwallis was poised to invade north carolina however any significant loyalist support had been effectively destroyed at the battle of king's mountain and the british legion the cream of his army had been decisively defeated at the battle of cowpens following both defeats cornwallis was fiercely criticized for detaching a significant portion of his army without adequate mutual support despite the defeats cornwallis chose to proceed into north carolina gambling his success upon a large loyalist uprising which never materialized as a result subsequent engagements cost cornwallis valuable troops he could not replace as at the battle of guilford courthouse and the americans steadily wore his army down in an exhaustive war of attrition cornwallis had thus left the carolinas ripe for reconquest the americans had largely achieved this aim by the end of 1781 effectively confining the british to the coast and undoing all the progress they had made in the previous year in a last-ditch attempt to win the war in the south cornwallis resolved to invade virginia in order to cut off the american supply base to the carolinas henry clinton cornwallis superior strongly opposed the plan believing the decisive confrontations would take place between washington in the north london had approved cornwallis plan however they had failed to include clinton in the decision-making despite his seniority over cornwallis leading to a muddled strategic direction cornwallis then decided to invade virginia without informing clinton of his intentions clinton however had wholly failed to construct a coherent strategy for british campaigning that year owing to his fractious relationship that he shared with mariette arbuthnot his naval counterpart as the franco-american army approached cornwallis at yorktown he made no attempt to sally out and engage before siege lines could be erected despite the repeated urging of his subordinate officers expecting relief to soon arrive from clinton cornwallis prematurely abandoned all of his outer defenses which were then promptly occupied by the besiegers serving to hasten the british defeat these factors contributed to the eventual surrender of cornwallis entire army and the end of major operations in north america like how before him clinton's efforts to campaign suffered from chronic supply issues in 1778 clinton wrote to german complaining of the lack of supplies even after the arrival of a convoy from ireland that winter the supply issue had deteriorated so badly that clinton expressed considerable anxiety over how the troops were going to be properly fed clinton was largely inactive in the north throughout 1779 launching few major campaigns this inactivity was partially due to the shortage of food by 1780 the situation had not improved clinton wrote a frustrated correspondence to german voicing concern that a fatal consequence will ensue if matters did not improve by october that year clinton again wrote to german angered that the troops in new york had not received an ounce of that year's allotted stores from britain campaign issues suppressing a rebellion in america presented the british with major problems the key issue was distance it could take up to three months to cross the atlantic and orders from london were often outdated by the time that they arrived the colonies had never been formally united prior to the conflict and there was no centralized area of ultimate strategic importance traditionally the fall of a capital city often signaled the end of a conflict yet the war continued unabated even after the fall of major settlements such as new york philadelphia which was the patriot capital and charleston britain's ability to project its power overseas lay chiefly in the power of the royal navy allowing her to control major coastal settlements with relative ease and enforce a strong blockade of colonial ports however the overwhelming majority of the american population was agrarian not urban as a result the american economy proved resilient enough to withstand the blockade's effects the need to maintain loyalist support prevented the british from using the harsh methods of suppressing revolts that they had used in scotland and ireland for example british troops looted and pillaged the locals during an aborted attack on charleston in 1779 enraging both patriots and loyalists neutral colonists were often driven into the ranks of the patriots when brutal combat broke out between tories and whigs across the carolinas in the later stages of the war conversely loyalists were often emboldened when patriots resorted to intimidating suspected tories such as destroying property or tarring and feathering the vastness of the american countryside and the limited manpower available meant that the british could never simultaneously defeat the americans and occupy captured territory one british statesman described the attempt as like trying to conquer a map wealthy loyalists wielded great influence in london and were successful in convincing the british that the majority view in the colonies was sympathetic toward the crown consequently british planners pinned the success of their strategies on popular uprisings of loyalists historians have estimated that loyalists made up only 15 to 20 percent of the population versus 40 to 45 patriots and that they continued to deceive themselves on their level of support as late as 1780. the british discovered that any significant level of organized loyalist activity would require the continued presence of british regulars which presented them with a major dilemma the manpower that the british had available was insufficient to both protect loyalist territory and counter american advances the vulnerability of loyalist militias was repeatedly demonstrated in the south where they suffered strings of defeats to their patriot neighbors the most crucial juncture of this was at king's mountain and the victory of the patriot partisans irreversibly crippled loyalist military capability in the south upon the entry of france and spain into the conflict the british were forced to severely limit the number of troops and warships that they sent to north america in order to defend other key territories and the british mainland as a result king george iii abandoned any hope of subduing america militarily while he had a european war to contend with the small size of britain's army left them unable to concentrate their resources primarily in one theater as they had done in the seven years war leaving them at a critical disadvantage the british were compelled to disperse troops from the americas to europe and the east indies and these forces were unable to assist one other as a result precariously exposing them to defeat in north america the immediate strategic focus of the french spanish and british shifted to jamaica whose sugar exports were more valuable to the british than the economy of the thirteen colonies combined following the end of the war britain had lost some of her most populous colonies however the economic effects of the loss were negligible in the long term and she became a global superpower just 32 years after the end of the conflict united states the americans began the war with significant disadvantages compared to the british they had no national government no national army or navy no financial system no banks no established credit and no functioning government departments such as a treasury the congress tried to handle administrative affairs through legislative committees which proved inefficient the state governments were themselves brand new and officials had no administrative experience in peacetime the colonies relied heavily on ocean travel and shipping but that was now shut down by the british blockade and the americans had to rely on slow overland travel however the americans had multiple advantages that in the long run outweighed the initial disadvantages they faced the americans had a large prosperous population that depended not on imports but on local production for food and most supplies while the british were mostly shipped in from across the ocean the british faced a vast territory far larger than britain or france located at a far distance from home ports most of the americans lived on farms distant from the seaports the british could capture any port but that did not give them control over the hinterland they were on their home ground had a smoothly functioning well-organized system of local and state governments newspapers and printers and internal lines of communications they had a long-established system of local militia previously used to combat the french and native americans with companies and an officer corps that could form the basis of local militias and provide a training ground for the national army created by congress motivation was a major asset the patriots wanted to win over 200 000 fought in the war 25 000 died the british expected the loyalists to do much of the fighting but they did much less than expected the british also hired german mercenaries to do much of their fighting at the onset of the war the americans had no major international allies battles such as the battle of bennington the battles of saratoga and even defeats such as the battle of germantown proved decisive in gaining the attention and support of powerful european nations such as france and spain who moved from covertly supplying the americans with weapons and supplies to overtly supporting them militarily moving the war to a global stage the new continental army suffered significantly from a lack of an effective training regime and largely inexperienced officers and sergeants the inexperience of its officers was compensated for in part by a few senior officers the americans solved their training dilemma during their stint in winter quarters at valley forge where they were relentlessly drilled and trained by general friedrich wilhelm von steuben a veteran of the famed prussian general staff he taught the continental army the essentials of military discipline drills tactics and strategy and wrote the revolutionary war drill manual when the army emerged from valley forge it proved its ability to equally match the british troops in battle when they fought a successful strategic action at the battle of monmouth when the war began the thirteen colonies lacked a professional army or navy each colony sponsored local militia militiamen were lightly armed had little training and usually did not have uniforms their units served for only a few weeks or months at a time were reluctant to travel far from home and thus were unavailable for extended operations and lacked the training and discipline of soldiers with more experience if properly used however their numbers could help the continental armies overwhelm smaller british forces as at the battles of concord bennington and saratoga and the siege of boston both sides used partisan warfare but the americans effectively suppressed loyalist activity when british regulars were not in the area seeking to coordinate military efforts the continental congress established a regular army on june 14 1775 and appointed george washington as commander-in-chief the development of the continental army was always a work in progress and washington used both his regulars and state militia throughout the war three current branches of the united states military trace their institutional routes to the american revolutionary war the united states army comes from the continental army formed by a resolution of the continental congress on june 14 1775. the united states navy recognizes october 13 1775 as the date of its official establishment the passage of the resolution of the continental congress at philadelphia that created the continental navy the united states marine corps links to the continental marines of the war formed by a resolution of the continental congress on november 10 1775. however in 1783 both the continental navy and continental marines were disbanded intelligence and espionage soldiers and sailors at the beginning of 1776 washington commanded 20 000 men with two-thirds enlisted in the continental army and the other third in the various state militias about 250 000 men served as regulars or as militiamen for the revolutionary cause in the eight years of the war but there were never more than 90 000 men under arms at one time about 55 000 sailors served aboard american privateers during the war they used 1700 ships and they captured 2283 enemy ships john paul jones became the first great american naval hero capturing hms drake on april 24 1778 the first victory for any american military vessel in british waters armies were small by european standards of the era largely attributable on the american side to limitations such as lack of powder and other logistical capabilities and on the british side to the difficulty of transporting troops across the atlantic as well as the dependence on local supplies which the patriots tried to cut off the largest force washington commanded was certainly under 17 000 and may have been no more than 13 000 troops and even the combined american and french forces at the siege of yorktown amounted to only about 19 000 by comparison duffy notes that in an era when european rulers were generally revising their forces downward in favor of a size that could be most effectively controlled the very different perspective of mass-conscript armies came later during the french revolutionary and then the napoleonic wars the largest army that frederick the great ever led into battle was 65 000 men at prague in 1757 and at other times he commanded between 23 000 and 50 000 men considering the latter the most effective number george washington's roles general washington assumed main five main roles during the war first he designed the overall strategy of the war in cooperation with congress the goal was always independence when france entered the war he worked closely with the soldiers it sent they were decisive in the great victory at yorktown in 1781. second he provided leadership of troops against the main british forces in 1775-77 and again in 1781. he lost many of his battles but he never surrendered his army during the war and he continued to fight the british relentlessly until the war's end washington worked hard to develop a successful espionage system to detect british locations and plans in 1778 he formed the kulper ring to spy on enemy movements in new york city in 1780 it discovered benedict arnold was a traitor the british put a low value on intelligence and its operations were of poor quality until 1780 when it finally inserted some spies with congress and with washington's command even then however british commanders ignored or downplayed threats that were revealed the most serious intelligence failure came in 1781 when top commanders were unaware that the american and french armies at both left the northeast and marched down to yorktown where they outnumbered cornwallis by more than two to one third he was charged selecting and guiding the generals in june 1776 congress made its first attempt at running the war effort with the committee known as board of war and ordnance succeeded by the board of war in july 1777 a committee which eventually included members of the military the command structure of the armed forces was a hodgepodge of congressional appointees and congress sometimes made those appointments without washington's input with state appointments filling the lower ranks the results of his general staff were mixed as some of his favorites never mastered the art of command such as john sullivan eventually he found capable officers such as nathaniel greene daniel morgan henry knox chief of artillery and alexander hamilton chief of staff the american officers never equaled their opponents in tactics and maneuver and they lost most of the pitched battles the great successes at boston 1776 saratoga 1777 and yorktown 1781 came from trapping the british far from base with much larger numbers of troops fourth he took charge of training the army and providing supplies from food to gunpowder to tents he recruited regulars and assigned baron friedrich wilhelm von steuben a veteran of the prussian general staff to train them he transformed washington's army into a disciplined and effective force the war effort and getting supplies to the troops were under the purview of congress but washington pressured the congress to provide the essentials there was never nearly enough washington's fifth and most important role in the war effort was the embodiment of armed resistance to the crown serving as the representative man of the revolution his long-term strategy was to maintain an army in the field at all times and eventually this strategy worked his enormous personal and political stature and his political skills kept congress the army the french the militias and the states all pointed toward a common goal furthermore he permanently established the principle of civilian supremacy in military affairs by voluntarily resigning his commission and disbanding his army when the war was won rather than declaring himself monarch he also helped to overcome the distrust of a standing army by his constant reiteration that well-disciplined professional soldiers counted for twice as much as poorly trained and led militias african-americans african-americans slave and free served on both sides during the war the british recruited slaves belonging to patriot masters and promised freedom to those who served by act of lord dunmore's proclamation because of manpower shortages george washington lifted the ban on black enlistment in the continental army in january 1776 small all-black units were formed in rhode island and massachusetts many slaves were promised freedom for serving some of the men promised freedom were sent back to their masters after the war was over out of political convenience another all-black unit came from saint domingue with french colonial forces at least 5000 black soldiers fought for the revolutionary cause tens of thousands of slaves escaped during the war and joined british lines others simply moved off in the chaos for instance in south carolina nearly 25 000 slaves 30 of the enslaved population fled migrated or died during the disruption of the war this greatly disrupted plantation production during and after the war when they withdrew their forces from savannah and charleston the british also evacuated 10 000 slaves belonging to loyalists altogether the british evacuated nearly 20 000 blacks at the end of the war more than 3000 of them were friedman and most of these were resettled in nova scotia other blacks were sold in the west indies american indians most american indians east of the mississippi river were affected by the war and many tribes were divided over the question of how to respond to the conflict a few tribes were on friendly terms with the other americans but most indians opposed the union of the colonies as a potential threat to their territory approximately 13 000 indians fought on the british side with the largest group coming from the iroquois tribes who fielded around 1500 men the powerful iroquois confederacy was shattered as a result of the conflict whatever side they took the seneca onondaga and cayuga nation sided with the british members of the mohawk nation fought on both sides many tuscarora and oneida sided with the colonists the continental army sent the sullivan expedition on raids throughout new york to the iroquois tribes that had sided with the british mohawk leaders joseph lewis cook and joseph brandt sided with the americans and the british respectively and this further exacerbated the split early in july 1776 a major action occurred in the fledgling conflict when the cherokee allies of britain attacked the western frontier areas of north carolina their defeat resulted in a splintering of the cherokee settlements and people and was directly responsible for the rise of the chickamauga cherokee bitter enemies of the colonials who carried on a frontier war for decades following the end of hostilities with britain creek and seminole allies of britain fought against americans in georgia and south carolina in 1778 a force of 800 creeks destroyed american settlements along the broad river in georgia creek warriors also joined thomas brown's raids into south carolina and assisted britain during the siege of savannah many indians were involved in the fighting between britain and spain on the gulf coast and up the mississippi river mostly on the british side thousands of creeks chickasaws and choctaws fought in major battles such as the battle of fort charlotte the battle of mobile and the siege of pensacola topic race and class pibus 2005 estimates that about 20 000 slaves defected to or were captured by the british of whom about 8 000 died from disease or wounds or were recaptured by the patriots the british took some twelve thousand at the end of the war of these eight thousand remained in slavery including those who left during the war a total of about eight thousand to ten thousand slaves gained freedom about four thousand freed slaves went to nova scotia and 1200 blacks remained slaves baller 2006 examines family dynamics and mobilization for the revolution in central massachusetts he reports that warfare and the farming culture were sometimes incompatible militiamen found that living and working on the family farm had not prepared them for wartime marches and the rigours of camp life rugged individualism conflicted with military discipline and regimentation a man's birth order often influenced his military recruitment as younger sons went to war and older sons took charge of the farm a person's family responsibilities and the prevalent patriarchy could impede mobilization harvesting duties and family emergencies pulled men home regardless of the sergeant's orders some relatives might be loyalists creating internal strains on the whole historians conclude the revolution's effect on patriarchy and inheritance patterns favored egalitarianism mcdonald 2006 shows a grave complication in virginia's mobilization of troops was the conflicting interests of distinct social classes which tended to undercut a unified commitment to the patriot cause the assembly balanced the competing demands of elite slave-owning planters the middling yeoman some owning a few slaves and landless indentured servants among other groups the assembly used deferments taxes military service substitute and conscription to resolve the tensions unresolved class conflict however made these laws less effective there were violent protests many cases of evasion and large-scale desertion so that virginia's contributions came at embarrassingly low levels with the british invasion of the state in 1781 virginia was mired in class division as its native son george washington made desperate appeals for troops topic see also american revolutionary war portal topic notes topic references further reading reference literature

OVCmnP-ReB0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVCmnP-ReB0 | Andreas Black Clay Bowl | good morning [Music] welcome we're gonna make this bowl this morning that is the plan good morning how are you doing i've been a busy little beaver this morning it's super windy here today and um my internal alarm clock went off at 3 30. so one got in the hot tub and then i came in and cleaned the studio so you can see the backdrop's a little neater wedge some clay so it's nice and soft we're making this bowl today it's happening it's tuesday [Music] we're getting so close to christmas and i literally have not wrapped a single present my office is full of really boxes i uh must have been whining and zooloin a few months ago so you know it takes forever for that stuff to show up how's this camera angle andrea um you're hilarious um what will the final diameters be at this pool um is this the one you're making today this is your bowl today are you putting your stamp on it if you're putting your stamp on it then you tell me you have to get up from your workout bench go do some measurements asking for an etsy customer you're hilarious the only thing i have on etsy right now is an organic feminine cup because the other thing i put on etsy found a better home and apparently until you have like 30 pieces on etsy etsy doesn't even consider you like in rankings searches so things i've been learning the underbelly of etsy all right so right now i'm going to flatten the type out the top out my coffee is all the way over there i need an assistant i'm going to flatten the top out and [Music] that worked out so good um i was gonna attempt to dry it off until i wouldn't put a big nick in it all right let's try this again i'm going to flatten the top out dry it off and plop this freshly wedged piece of clay on top my first toes crossed i know some of y'all out there got really big toes that you can cross if you do cross them for me that this stays together i think i was supposed to like oh that worked hey i think it's working scar i was gonna say lucas taught me this at ogre's home pottery and uh i think i was supposed to make that bottom piece a little more coneier is that term i don't know 12 by 12 is your current fruit bowl that's not big enough look at a bigger baby big er so i think the one that i threw the other day well i know for a fact the diameter is 12. your your fruit bowl is 12 across and 12 high oh man this is going to be a challenge because the one i made yesterday that clay dried and shrunk down so much that it's not as dramatic as it was on the bot um it's 12 by i wanna say i think it was seven and it looks so big doesn't that look so big [Laughter] [Music] i can't figure out a way how to turn off notifications super bothersome so i will say i did get my workout this morning wedging this clay there's probably only like four pound pieces but i was throwing it high and using my abs i'm imagining you'd want it yeah um wider than hot than high oh wow look at that baby it's like it's almost centered all right i have to tell you andrea i sold one of the flat plates the teal one my my total uh cash in hand count right now is a whopping 47. wait yeah 47 two pieces that's pretty good i nearly cried when i gave her that plate she was so in love with it she's giving it to her mother for christmas hopefully her mother doesn't catch on to this video before it becomes given you know because i'm so popular and all i am wearing my uh one piece short sleeve short short uh overalls today hopefully the buttons popping open isn't too distracting hey andrew if i flash somebody ah shelly i was just talking about you how you contributed to my grand total and yeah mama's getting a christmas present and hopefully she's not watching because that would suck if i ruined it for her for you are you on your peloton working your little tissue andrew's working out right now too all right i think that's as centered as it's gonna get we're ready to go big it's a little chilly in here all right before i start doing anything major we gotta do some coffee andrea you michelle you catch up share your workout secrets let me play some hold music for you check out my little candle she's burning a nice little lemony scent it's very soft non-intrusive one and two and three i really need to get wi-fi out here i feel like my cell service is just not conducive for lives somebody else told me they had to stop watching the live because it kept dropping oh black clay i went to a basic training in fort jackson south carolina i swear it's the home of black clay maybe it was red clay either way had i known what i know now it would have been a much more enjoyable experience all right going in ladies i've got my throwing finger ready it's centered going in so satisfying for reals like that's the best part if there was a way to make this just could i make this into a bug vase when i get my kiln i think i'm gonna experiment with wasting clay i'm just kidding not too much but look how cool would that be like it's just a single bud but it's [Music] huge that'd be awesome right trying to figure out how to measure this i know like this i'm to here there i think we need to go down more yeah all right there she blows good morning alexa so yeah um i don't know if you watched the video yesterday alexa i gave it a shot with the black bowl but the clay was way too hard so i softened it up which by the way was a hot mess there's literally black slip everywhere um and uh gave it a lot of wedging aka exercised and we're testing the limits of the wheel pins before i do that i really want to find out how deep this is [Music] that's pretty deep let's bring it in a little more all right there's the start nicole what in the world aren't you supposed to be teaching minds or something all right i'm covering some some geographical area here with the four of you i'm making a black bowl this morning oh at least that's the plan so far we've combed up we've combed down we've centered i measured the depth were a little over an inch deep on the bottom open this up just a little bit more you can hear the bat is like what are you doing too much pressure and now oh gabby good morning my love heather is making a big clay bowl this morning this big clay bowl wallet right now looks like it's going to be brown when it comes out of the kiln the really hot oven it's going to be very very black and what i'm doing right now is holding on to it like a tire on your bicycle and trying to make sure that it's right as round as it'll be and it needs lots of water so that my hands get all slippery like soap you know when you put soap on your hands it gets really really slippery that's what this is like you're probably thinking gabby why is she wearing gloves well you see how dark this clay is have you ever seen lily walk on the chocolate factory nicole if she hasn't i think she's at the age it wouldn't be too scary um well there's these little dudes in the background of that show called oompa loompas and oopaloopa's skin is orange and the clay see on my hands on the glove it stains my hands orange isn't that crazy so if i don't wear the gloves my arms and my hands are the color of the lumpus and right now what i'm going to do gabby i'm going to make sure that all the clay on the very bottom of this bowl is super hard so i take my fingers and i push them to the center a little itty bitty nub comes up see how it's coming up in the center so that's all the soft clay that's what we'll call it see it's like a little mushroom i'm going to do it with two hands this time andrea one of my friends that's watching with us she's giving me specific instructions on what to make this oh this one looks like a pretty flower don't worry the pretty flower will become something else someday it doesn't just get thrown away you've got a lot of clay where you live you and mommy could go out to there's a place just between uh austin and augusta where we did a zombie run and when i say we i don't actually mean we i took pictures um and there is a ton of red clay out there that could be a really fun trip for you honestly nicole go out there and harvest some red clay and then you guys can make like little pinch pops and flowers and stuff i'm gonna do it one more time andrea because i know you're already attached to this gabby you have school today honey tons of clay i know all right time to get out the car sponge breaking out the big dogs there it is so i'm doing this because these glows aren't exactly smooth and as much as andrea says she likes my wonky bowls i really like to not make her want people really andrew you're gonna have to come over here and tell this bulk who's lost because i'm really this is like rule number 12 on clay don't ever stop the wheel but it's not centering and i got people watching grocery shopping that publix store is so nice you live in a really nice neighborhood if i do say so myself are you gonna did you guys get a golf cart yet oh i know what is your favorite sandwich toppings miss gabriella ah what [Music] so the area where uh nicole and her family live have trails that are literally made for golf carts it's super funny and uh if there's an episode of pimp my right golf cart edition it would be happening in her neighborhood all right we got it centered lady can we stop now okay garlic pickles that's gabby's favorite topping huh that's interesting all right dirty hand incoming all right we're gonna do it here it goes my hand has become a fox it's taking a bite of the clay dragging my thumb where'd my little sponge go my mind found it gabby when you come visit we'll come we'll play in clay okay you can be my water my water girl make sure everything stays wet right now i'm trying to re-center it it's exciting all right we're just gonna go for it you are watching in baited breath to see what comes with this me too my husband has like an industrial hair dryer aka a heat gun because it's a man tool it's not a hair dryer i wonder what came first the heat gun or the hair dryer probably the hair dryer here it goes gabby if you're still watching it's coming up oh please come visit y'all can stay in the rv by june gloria's part of your barn should be a thriving independent business and i won't have to go to my regular job let's get real there are people that make a living on this i'm only 999 999 900 and 53 dollars away from being a millionaire from gloria's pottery barn now i love my job too much and bert would find me because he secretly i'm i am his favorite and then i wouldn't be able to say i have the best boss ever because then i would be my own boss and that would be weird man this stuff is messy um yeah i researched it and i i could totally do that i could be a youtuber she could too with her craftiness what's the market for crafty on youtube though i don't know oh my goodness i just flung black clay all the way across the room so funny i'm freaking out about the bottom of this thing not that a crack in a fruit roll would be that big of a deal but still three dollars per thousand ad views what's so right now youtube would be into me for about a dollar fifty over the last three weeks now i did have one video that had 700 views 700 over three second views isn't that insane i don't even know that there's 700 people like know i exist all right still compressing i'm still getting a little nub out of the center so i didn't compress good enough see little baby nub andrea you're the only person that would watch you and my four other fans there is a lady in carson city that does naked news don't worry i'm not going where you think i am on this statement and i found her and i was thinking what is the market for that she's not actually i mean she's you could tell that she doesn't have well does she have a mirror behind her i don't know i'll have to look it up she's an attractive lady and she does provide intelligent news sources but i just think wow interesting okay i could do this all day literally just compressing the bottom and sometimes i feel with the twins that i do do that all day not compress the bottom but wipe it all right we're ready to go big i think we're ready i'm gonna quit stalling and just do it are you watching with beta breath andre you turn me on right now this is yours i think i'm gonna have to make that rule if i'm making for you something is special you must watch it being built and participate in its design i was up at 3 30 this morning the wind is blowing and something outside was knocking around there's more to the story shall i um we got a new cover for our hot tub and i didn't get latches for it because i thought really am i going to spend an extra like it was 75 dollars for latches such a cheap butt and um so i didn't get latches not thinking of the other reasons you would get latches which is not just to keep the kids out which i should probably do um but the wind was a little bit open so i was laying there at 3 30 in the morning listening to the wind blow and all i could think of was the hot tub cover so i wouldn't gotten a hot tub made sure the lid didn't blow open and then i came and cleaned the barn a little bit you think story of my life for real if you could get paid for having hindsight i would pay for it all right so enough about my hot tub um i am a little bit of clay at the top the reason i'm leaving a little bit of clay at the top is because when i spread when i open it up you need more clay so the room's not thin at least that's what i hear so instead of having even pressure all the way at the top i'm starting to let off as i get to the top and andrea i think we're talking we're going to stop here and you're going to have a volcano vase if we want 12 inches out of this we got to go higher okay we're ready here she comes i've got the hand for balance going in oh there's still a lot of clay down there pulling in another tool we're getting that clay up up and out off the bottom up to the sides so i feel like i'm holding my breath there's still so much clay okay we're gonna get aggressive get aggressive get get aggressive it's important to not freak out because i'm feeling like i'm gonna freak out are you holding your breath andrea you need to breathe for me i feel like i'm not breathing that's why talking is so important it helps you breathe that's why um when you're in the military they have you call cadence when you're running it helps you control your breath that's why when the drill sergeant's yelling at you you need to call cadence and you're saying i can't breathe and he's like you're still talking which means you're breathing he's right or she let's not be sexist my scariest little child that was a woman oh man she was scary i don't even know why maybe because internally i know that me myself as a woman could be scary okay are you giving me a pep talk this morning my hand's going down i'm trying to push this out evenly so it doesn't collapse uh any of you that are real life potters watching me do this are probably like you're doing it wrong one thing i've found or tried to find with pottery is that there's not really a wrong there's just different all right how big are we right now let's get the official nevada in dot make it safe and connected ruler out yeah you said 12 inches andrea that's american inches hi dario good morning i should have added the extra three pounds thought i could get away with it with um six seven i think i got it andrea how round do you want this that is the question are you really subscribing to heather's house of roundish things because that's about what it's going to be all right stop in there starting to fall no don't fall yep did too much clay wasn't having it what do you think of that um actually if i let this dry some i sort of like that shape if i let this dry some it will let me um pull it a little more but until then thanks until then i'm going to brace it just a little while it dries some i really should go find karsten's hair dryer thing okay it's braced i like the okay i'm gonna give it a little spin it's got sort of a flat side to it right here think i like it i think i like it bye nicole have a good day shopping okay do you want me to leave it in this shape it's sort of eggy here let me get the camera out that's it i'm adding texture to it oh geez some days it's a good day throwing pottery and some days it's better um oh just barely missed it can you believe it i'm almost hit the bowl with the light i really need a new light there you go from above and i'll come back out this afternoon and try to get it up just a little higher see right here i actually

MAt0Oy_JEGw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAt0Oy_JEGw | Nene Leakes From The RHOA Spends Her Tea on HEALTH OVER WEALTH WITH HER FAN BASE REVIEW | good evening family affair welcome back to our channel I want to thank you for watching always tuning in with me okay cuz I this Khurana virus is going on and everybody trying to tell the sneak peak peaks here and there about what's going on in their neck of the woods Forrester's coronavirus you know who we got to sneak around to it got to sneak around giving that information call people don't want to have you tell what's really going on in your neck of the woods excuse me point in take that last video I had out for you all telling out what what's going on in Georgia Atlanta Georgia here honey yellow strike that means I can pay for that video but I hey we got to do what we got to do even if we have to break the truth in some other commentary that we doing on the Real Housewives of Atlanta any other video I choose to pick out I put out I should say honey yeah down what you're telling it true that's why I say it's so much censorship to what you see on television and what you get from YouTube and any other of the social media outlets you know they want to just tell you what you can tell people or the mass is out there and if it's not what they want you to put out there honey you get a little yellow thing on your thing huh I mean it ain't paying you for that but it's good that you know it is what it is cuz I'm gonna do and keep doing what I do for you all this one for myself okay but we're gonna be talking about NeNe Leakes tonight and her words of wisdom she's given us about missing that money but what she feels other things are important as well but when I first looked at the the content or the information given from a journalist on their entertainment perspective on what's going on only any leaks where she talks about health and wealth and and they coincide together but I'm like okay I'm good god my sidebars as we get into the article together because like I said I don't really read the articles I might just read the title he just woke up from a nap guys but like I said you usually just you review the articles title and I may read a little bit of that first paragraph and then I say okay this is a good story I want to talk about with my family y'all you know relay in and tell me what child felt about it but yeah we're gonna be talking about NeNe Leakes and her money versus well PO help versus money whatever but I also want to extend what do you call it some formative information to my bluebear that was out there trying to protect me from information I put out on my video she kind of got a look confused but I thank you either way Blue Bear for looking out for your girl okay have you see me your aren't your mother your cousin whatever you know I'm saying thank you for trying to look out for me but basically what I have been doing boo bear on my channel recently I have been trying to expose certain people or certain entities or how I feel that they're not really getting down in a righteous way in a sense I guess I want to say you got some time food where people appenders want to do anything for some change and get you locked up in the south just because they partake of the money and agreed and the power and the fame and the idle ship on their chosen profession which is to give in doubt or solidify they sell strictly in the entertainment industry it's pretty much solely satanic because you actually have to sign a contract saying you're gonna do this debt in the third you're gonna promote this debt in the power to be able to get money and the fame and the wealth for your livelihood okay so follow me with this because it's on my perspective so what you've been seeing was me putting all of those signs and harmonies who they're paying their allegiance to which is Satan it's a satanic type industry that you're in some celebrities some entertainers have already came out and blasted them for that what goes on behind the closed doors or the entertainment field mostly given from entertainers perform perspective when it comes to the music industry but you hear a lot with some entertainers that are kind of fed up with the tricks in the trade and the foolery and the things they have to do to get that money you know I'm saying a lot of it is very degrading and ultimately it's almost saying selling your soul or submit to me or I got to get rid of you you know I'm saying and it can go either way and I'm just speaking under under hand we go under though all right off you're gonna say you're so do what they want to do or show what they want you to show while doing this money or we can get rid of you in a sense you know we can damage your career with your may no more money or we can pretty much get rid of you mean input you 60 Dondo okay that's just my perspective how I've seen view things from what I've heard okay people tell us about the entertainment industry just you could just watch it yourself and watch your favorite artists and how they started off one way then they start off they start off one way and they you know grabs will go down a road and then they start changing up their style their look or what is being presented in their videos how they do certain hand sign gestures or whatever and you know if you try to do the hand signs yourself and I put them also in my videos to kind of watch out - who's saluting who you know I'm saying because it is coming to a sense where you're gonna either practice something good or you're gonna practice something bad you going to either love money or you're gonna hate the Lord or you know it's very biblical and we're going through a very opening eye-opening experience now with this coronavirus and the way everything is going down because believe it or not it's gonna come a time where we're gonna have to decide whether we're gonna sell our souls to the the world or we're gonna conform from the world and transform or not are we going to conform to the world and it's drillings or how they get down or we're gonna transform from the world and how about what I said on something a little higher a little soul saving serenity and peace you know that's just my take on it you know I made no qualms about who I serve and how I feel about certain things when it comes to making money the professional way versus making money the easy and I want to say beefing way because that's basically what you get on TV is a lot of people going crazy coming out their character and trying to make money the easy way instead of going into and staying into a profession that is definitely worth being in I hear healthcare field or and it's many facets you can practice medicine again whether you become a doctor or a nurse or administrative assistant or CNA you know just a lot of different things under the umbrella of medical that you can do real well in and make your money okay that's pleasing to the Lord in a sense it's not degrading yourself it's not making yourself look like a fool it's not you know you beefing for the arena or the money that you want to make and that's where a lot of these human beings have done to themselves instead of working in professional fields like being a lawyer a doctor or pilot a nurse food service work janitor IT person just you know anything that requires certification or post-secondary education that you can get in and make money but the entertainment field is so satanic it's like they are basically telling you to come over here join this franchise and we will make you rich we will make you wealthy we will make you the apple of a lot of things eyes where they worship you and we know that's just a practice of satanic for those who know again can't see and can't hear so a lot of people that could have done for very professional things very honorable things in the eyes of the Lord even being an owner of clothing wear or some type of service that a lot of people want to partake to making money but they'd rather go on TV especially when this reality show started to make its entrance in the 2000s I believe the early part of 2000 they part out reality TV stars like you know a lot of them Big Brother Real Housewives of Atlanta it's just so many of them out there don't those are the ones I can only think about the top of my head but if you really sit down and you think about what you look at on TV and how many scenarios they try to spin that is definitely against your religion and what you believe in and how far fast they take a scenario a situation and where do you get all these people can partake oh you know that show called Lucifer day as I go along I probably think of some when I'm talking but this is the things I do boo-bear is to basically let you be aware of what you're watching and how these people get down and how they do their signs or expressions with their hands to show who they really pay homage to and who they really look up to to make their money and I'm just giving you a little bits and pieces of basically how they go about paying significant homage or praise to Satan to be on his platform to be able to make this money here and now be able to rule up he is with some of the other famous people out there to have a lucrative life to how people praise and down steriliser tree and all of this nature so when you saw those clips I'm giving you like little hands for you to go and do your own research like the number 13 god don't need all these symbols and size and numbers and whatever to express itself or to show who he is you know everything is in the Bible or the Quran or whatever has certain Bible passages and you go and read them where God has made for good Satan makes for bad so the number 13 has very significant reasoning and understanding when it comes to the same tenets world or how to use numbers to blaspheme what God had put out there for us to use as you know guidance in the Bible but he makes a reference for it to be satanic because he don't want people to praise anybody but him he don't want human beings to do the right thing when it comes to loving their neighbors and and doing further neighbors as well as they would do for themselves and treat everybody just really nice and glue it and have a professional life you know I'm saying even if it ain't nothing but bagging groceries working in a grocery store cleaning up out people that is an honest hard-working job there is liking to the Lord in a sense because you're serving others we're gonna serve not to be served but Hollywood has made it a very muddy collar eye candy type of situation where you do all these dirty gastrous deeds dan you'll get paid for work but you got to do a little deals to get a lot of that you see what I'm saying so when you see like numbers and I'm trying to show you certain reference points of how our entertainers get down that we kind of like we look up to or we just you don't enjoy them entertaining us what they had to do to do what they do you know I'm saying it's like a double-edge war you get this but then you have all this bad stuff that's gonna happen to you and people around you or whatnot yes you're gonna be partaking of and that pool of living so you will see some things that I try to drop off or try to draw up knowledge to when it comes to things that I find interesting and then I had to see so much satanic referencing that I like my family and you know my biological family as well as being here on the family affair to be aware of these things don't always be like a sheep and follow follow follow they got the boss look and review on what you're looking at and if you go and research these signs these numbers just certain we call it apparel that they wear and you know go back to Egyptian times and it shows you a lot of damaging things and to our human race that they do to promote a satanic or type of agenda and I'm giving you a little piece and a proposal of the big picture that you're gonna have to make on your own by doing your own due diligence your own research and see just how these people get down by and by me in plugging in some pictures some signs some verbal information I'm doing that to teach you to go and think out the boss and research this stuff and so when I do come in with comment here you will see me making you know reference through video clips when I'm talking about these celebrities when I'm doing commentary on just so you can have an understanding what's really going on again like I said it's only from my perspective and you know you all can take what you want to take out of it view it how you want to view with it and you know you could definitely get in the comments and try to tell me like he was telling me you were seeing video clips on my video clips that basically was doing a lot of satanic so you evidently know about that world oh you studied up on it so that's not something my dear to engage and to definitely tell my family about it so they can be aware of these things as they're going forward because I'm telling you they're gonna be ushering in martial law I may be not living at that time you know cuz Carl has called me home but whatnot because we all have our expiration time on this earth but it's gonna come a time where you go how to decide who you gonna serve you're gonna serve at anagram are you gonna serve the noble and glorifying positive referring them okay you're gonna choose bad over good or good over bad because it's gonna come a time it's biblical biblically stated in the Bible you're gonna love one you're gonna hate the other but you're gonna have to choose meaning it's freely given it's not gonna be like no no you're gonna choose this you gonna choose that no he's gonna let you freely choose your destination and believe it or not we're going to a digital age where they're gonna take away the almighty dollar it's gonna be worth net and they're gonna be trying to get us to use all these credit cards or it's gonna be like a digital format of trading goods for services you don't saying so in order to sell and buy you're gonna have to further down the road or maybe just around the corner you got to choose whether you're gonna take a the mark of the beast or some type of symbol to show others get you a part of this program and they don't allow you to do this because you did that type of scenario when and take I'm not gonna be here I'm not going for that so if I can't freely choose whether I want to do this a day and I still can't hear my girl still surviving you know Laura take me home you know saying but I'm not gonna choose to do Boyett constantly just to say I got food on the table but my family cuz notices we are religious in my house we all praise one God and yeah like I said know who I praise so you know I just won't be here and it's gonna come a time word they're gonna take Internet from us or they're gonna censor us so bad the algorithm this is gonna figure out what you're saying what you're doing is if it goes against what they want you to say they gonna pull your channel you know what they're gonna strike you out so bad you ain't gonna be able to make money off of it now or you may not be able to come home to even say okay I ain't making no money but I don't misspell my own truth so I see it but to say this you weren't wrong in your observation it was just no one was putting it on my channel I was putting it out there for myself ooh beer so hopefully I made some clarification on what you were seeing and you were trying to notify me or just so you can be aware of what I am doing but in a way I know I took a little longer than I wanted to but when a family affair reached out to me and it's close to my heart and it is close to their heart cuz they're trying to figure out what's going on and you know they feel they need to help me out as much as I can which I do definitely appreciate boo-bear I try to take a little time to explain you know to my family what is going on and why ideas certain things okay but let's get on into week on terror no more on the story we did on nene leakes well the I way of Alex Alexis stone working over there at slowly inside of putting out her commentary for us to partake oh she give us the story article title as nene leakes talks money versus health and see the messages to her fans okay he goes on to say nene leakes shared a message on her social media account in which she's addressing how much she loves making money okay money is the root of all evil especially if you practice doing it the wrong way cuz money aren't supposed to be a means to an end and that's basically to enjoy to a certain extent to give because those who are given much have much responsibility to others okay Just My Size but money is not supposed to be thought of as attaining more wealth more wealth more wealth and you're not giving out there getting that becomes the scene in the Lord's eyes okay I'm just saying just trying to break down some information for y'all from my perspective but going back to the article it says she is dressing how much she loves making money stopped utilizing but she also made sure to highlight fam babies don't got into the garbage can in the guest room okay it's too crazy cuz my family is staying here through this coronavirus situation and who the dolls are just getting into all they still but it's just my sob all let's get back to the headlines here it says she loves making money but she also made sure to highlight the fact that there are more important things in the world and the most important is obviously health yes Nene had told us on her last episode or on the season 12 the last episode about you can't have wealth without good health okay all right no Nene you can have wealth and have a poor health okay but you can still have wealth the wealth will get you in a lot of doors or other people that don't have the will can't get into expecting they come around a virus y'all I saw a boy again okay I know I'm going a little longer yeah I disappeared but I'm just saying the story that I bring out sometimes have to go with a lot of side boss and I have to break off in different directions because I won't try to be into know of some things now this coronavirus here how is it that all these celebrities can get yes okay they can get tested for don't have to go through no rig this type of format or we call it stipulations you have to meet a requirements you have to meet to be able to be able to take a test or be granted the okay to be given a test to test for the coronavirus I mean you got Andy Cohen out there you got a few of my celebrities that I watch on soap operas you got a few of them coming out with the coronavirus have been tested and they telling us that they got the virus and then you got some of these NBA stars and football stars being tested positive for the corona virus and you're just a lot of wealthier influence while hardworking everyday working Americans that want to take the test and our seas and elderly folks want to get the test and we can't damn gear I find that very disheartening but again it goes on to what I'm talking about when you get down in the playground of the Satanic Ram who gets wood why they get it and you ain't can't do a damn thing about it you see what I'm saying money walls limit women there you go money talks and walks when it comes to the almighty dollar you see what I'm saying do you see what I'm saying family how the hell outta for it got money can go out there and get tested the we came and they already saying and so many cities a clean mind we don't have to test to begin with and that was just two weeks ago and we ain't got no more tests out there or they we got them and they only could serve with them cuz serve a king them for only the wealthy and affluent or our political people idea cuz you know I just get on my nerve but I'm just letting you know how this almighty satanic dollar get down okay in our world of living but going back to the article it says um check out the useful message there many shared with her fans and follow us on our social media account if you well I think she meant to say if you're anything like me getting to the money's what you do and little to do my home is actually like a hotel to me because I'm so in and out lying here in my bed I have thought of how much money I'm missing out on Nene beginning her post okay we need here all that Nene because we know how you get down and we know who you serve all right baby girl and what you did to get in that position and what you still gonna have to do the rest of your life because of that sciency your contract you sign with the devil okay but anyway it is what it is and for her to say she lives in so much luxury okay baby how do we got you there but we'll see how it plays out as you go along within your worldly living all right baby girl alright moving on from there he said she continued to say did about my health is my will money can't buy that there's things out called the coronaviruses changing lives and not in such a good way it is important that you stay at home where you're safe okay Nene sidebar again I'm getting sick and tired of these people telling us as meaning celebrities and all the people of that nature there if it wasn't for us partaking or there yes that they give us they would have any livelihood you know like Tom Hanks I he don't made so many movies we don't went out there and watched him watch them on other sitcoms he may be on as well as other adventures you know we support them with our dollars I would change our hard-working spiritual dollars you know to by taking this okay going on it's all about yesterday you making them and continue to making them rich because we work for us watching them and patron them they wouldn't be on a platform that they are on trust to believe that but anyway I'm so tired of folks telling folks to stay at home you know I'm saying when ain't talking to the main folks that these people as such to myself and others or impaired it by okay if you don't get to them and tell them don't we call it um punish us or feel like we have to stay there or we're replaceable don't sit up there and say on your higher platforms such as the mayor the governor the president to stay at home because almost select few are being able to stay at home and when I got to thinking about that thing all the people that I've seen with over men officials state officials we call it the malls where you go shopping and congregate they took all the sports places that we go in particular for enjoyment anything in the entertainment theater we have to go outside and actually venture into and be it it don't look all that from us so you tell my Bose workers all right the people that serve you food the basketball football baseball games you don't to read out their mouth and they're loud to who of providing for their family those type of people but all the people are here they go on a word everyday not getting tested for the corona virus and infecting each other on a daily basis because they ain't know about it to Harlan much standing six feet away okay a practicing distance seeing all right so shut up Nene when you talking this foolishness okay you want a platform where you don't have to be at work okay and that's some of the benefits I guess you get at this time but guess what baby it's gonna be a time where it's gonna be from the who's who who got money and who don't okay who's in the multi-million dollar range you know I'm saying versus the once in a thousand dollar range or you know a hundred thousand dollars range or just a 1 million dollar range it's gonna be a range for even the real thing okay so get used to it baby y'all going close to that scenario but anyway going that to the article it says continue wash your hands wipe countless miles coming traffic areas of your home and stay hydrated with water we're in this together nobody we're in this together because if that's a true hell all of us will be at home itself the hospital workers all right everybody would be at home again let me say there everybody would be at home is opener health care workers in the hospitals okay that's high edemen all right but we're not living in that type of world only the affluent people okay just sit there and partake go stay at home because what about your workers you had to layoff than they need because of this pandemic are you treating them like the cream of the cream like you're getting down at your home are you paying those supplemental pay as long as what the unemployment people are paying them or you're giving them a little checky-check extra check a check each week or each or twice a week or twice a month are you doing that for them supplemental pay I don't think so but anyway I'm gonna move on all right she goes on to say someone said correct sis you're looking gorgeous and relaxed and another follower said you are so correct healthiest will we need to be reminded of this okay all the way you're gonna be reminded if you tell them health officials as well as these politicians when they go into we're going out there voting and telling them what we want and they say okay just vote me in May vote you it we broke you in you go on and do the nice tone about face and show us your ass and forget about who put you there cuz then you still ain't changed okay we talking about the policy policy holder makers but if you see is what it is go out to another follower they say it's so true I had to sit down with my doctor today because I had severe precancerous cells in my service and needed surgery I thought losing 90% of my clothes this weekend when my house flooded with the sewer war now with that was my only worry somewhere else also said that money is not the most one thing in a world these days money comes and goes but time is brutally for night resource okay one another commenters say people praise athletes stars musicians money and materialistic things none of that matters now because it's time to praise go alright my god that was a good one another follow says another theory and see I'm using this time to focus on God Almighty because he is the one that controls all things he's the one that gives me hell to work and provide for my family the world has been shut down because God wants everyone's attention people have turned away from what's important that is doing what God has called each and every one of us to be and that's a servant unto Him yep that's what it's all about living in this world to serve others not to serve herself but again that's just my perspective again at towards the end of the article it says do you agree with what Nene had to say well pretty much Nene didn't say too much in my eyes that I didn't already know it just is what it is it's your perspective of how you view people when they give you certain information is what you do with it that matters we're not here to follow each other we're here to serve and we're trying to be the best stewards of our money as possible because you even got preachers and rabbis and priests out there trying to get your money during this hard time expressing that they're still trying to do the work of the Lord in any each over hell when we know 98% of them are just lining their own practice and want to think about their families and take that money and do the wrong things with it meaning self-serving instead of giving it back to the people because like I told my mom you know you got to know the Lord for yourself you got to know how to pray to the Lord for yourself because these entities such as synagogues churches place you go into worship they gonna be there they are not gonna be there they're gonna turn your stomach to where you don't even want to go there and participate with other potential followers or followers of the same faith you gotta know the Lord or your spirituality however you get down Buddhism whatever you gotta know them for yourselves okay you gotta know how to pray for yourself I say all the time I'm gonna pray you know and I want other people to pray for me as well just turning another leaf that I'm gonna pray for you as well you pray for me with all pretty yelling you know you know we all become solidified under one to say that you know I'm saying or our particular faith that we believe in but it's nothing and not no powerful way you can do is having a personal relationship with whoever you deem as your all and be all your provider your Savior okay I already told you Jesus Christ it's my rock my Savior the one I look to even when I fall short of his goodness and grace every day okay every day well I'm thinking something terrible or I'm doing something terrible you know but I always try to repent when I see myself doing something or I said something wrong it may affect others or even myself and it's just not looking lovely in his eyes okay but that's all I want to give y'all wasn't the word of advice if you take it good if you don't okay and just give you a little celebrity news insight what another sliver is out there doing it on the streets especially in Atlanta and just telling you what it's actually happening in my neck of the woods with this virus thing going on and how they're continually telling us to don't do this don't do that but only a select few of people are being affected okay but y'all get down in the comments definitely get down and talk with me about it oh the issue any other issue you want to talk about and Katrina subscribe tell others about the channel and share my videos or our videos I should say and I'll see y'all next time okay peace and blessings | DebShanel48World | UCaGIyOQROC7oTwSb9tBru6w | 2020-03-26 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 5,796 | 29,480 |

1AfGt2CTOpc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AfGt2CTOpc | President Reagan’s Remarks at a Dinner for Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill on March 17, 1986 | this St Patrick's night it is a distinct honor to present the prime minister of the Republic of Ireland The Honorable Garrett [Applause] Fitzgerald [Applause] Mr Speaker Reverend chairman ladies and gentlemen Irish and if there are any today non-irish I am honored to have been invited as head of the Irish government to join with you in paying tribute to speaker O'Neal I'm very conscious of the fact that this is an American domestic political occasion indeed earlier today on the hill I met someone who asked what's a foreigner doing speaking at that dinner tonight for the speaker I was puzzled the president looks Irish enough to me the speaker is Irish Senator Kennedy is Irish and it struck me he was referring to Bob Hope a young but I was able to assure my but seriously the fact that I've been invited to join with your president and all of you in honoring the speaker says much about the extraordinary relationship between the United States and Ireland the ties that bind us go far beyond those that normally exist between two friendly states there are over 40 million loyal patriotic Americans including many of you here tonight who in addition to your loyalty to the United States have a particular attachment to and friendship with the country of your forefathers Ireland and nobody has demonstrated that affection and friendship for Ireland more than tip O'Neil in Ireland who heard you speak in Dublin Castle during your visit in 1979 will ever forget you Mr Speaker thus share fully in the recent historic achievement this within which the objectives and peace and Reconciliation might be achieved no words of mine no words of mine will ever be sufficient to express to you the Gratitude as a token of our appreciation I have an announcement in the 63 years since the foundation of the Irish State this honor has been granted only to three people tonight it is my great privilege on the authority of the president of Ireland to Grant Irish citizenship as a token of honor to two people Thomas P O'Neal Jr and his wife Mildred O'Neal thank you where is mil's down at the table I'll have to carry it very than can I get to her I don't think okay can't get that you can't thank you very very H Delight thank you I'll have Millies I've given him Millies as well well and you're all Witnesses I gave him Millies as well so if if if it doesn't get to M you'll know he he's to blame not me thank you very much indeed thank you thank you thank you Mr thank [Applause] you it is a singular honor to speaker O'Neal and my high privilege to introduce to you the president of of the United States thank you very much thank you thank you Reverend clergy Mr prime minister Mr Speaker ladies and gentlemen I want to begin tonight by saying how touched I am to know that TI wanted me here this evening why he even called me himself last week and said Mr President make sure you don't miss the dinner Tuesday night but to be honest I've always known that the tip was behind me even even it was only at the State of the Union Address as I made each proposal I could hear tip whispering to the George Bush forget it no way fat chance I think it was inevitable oh that there'd be a standoff between Imagine One Irishman trying to Corner another Irishman in the Oval Office but despite all this tip wanted me here he said that since it was March 17th it was only fitting that someone dropped by who actually had known St Patrick and that's true tip I did know St Patrick in fact we both changed to the same political party at about the same time now it's true that tip and I have had our political disagreements sure I said some things about tip and tip said some things about me but that's all history and anyway you know how it is I forget [Applause] I just I just follow that old motto forgive and forget or is it forget and forgive but ladies and gentlemen I think you know tip and I have been kidding each other for some time now and I hope you also know how much I hope this continues for many years to come little kidding is after all a sign of affection the sort of things that friends do to each other and Mr Speaker I'm grateful you have permitted me in the past and I hope in the future that singular honor the honor of calling you my friend I think the fact that I think the fact of our friendship is testimony to the political system that we're part of and the country we live in a country which permits two not so shy and not so retiring Irishmen to have it out on the issues rather than on each other or their countrymen but in addition to celebrating a a country and a personal friendship I wanted to come here tonight to join you in saluting tip O'Neal to salute him for the years of dedication and Devotion to Country tips Recollections of politics go back of course far beyond my own he's um he's seen some who play the game well and others who do not he's seen some Who Loved politics and some who came to it only out of a sense of Duty but through it all tip has been a vital and forceful part of America's Poli iCal tradition a tradition that he has truly enriched yet tip O'Neal represents far more than just this political tradition deep within too is the memory of places like Back Bay and South Boston the docks the peers those who came off the ships in Boston Harbor seeking a a better land A Better Way for their children and they found that something between or better they Rose above the Prejudice and the hardship tip would see one of his contemporaries become President John F Kennedy would be 68 today had he lived and tip can remember those golden hours better than most in this room and then not too many years later there was another of immigrant stock who would become Speaker of the House in so short a time so much leadership from one city one place one people how fitting that Boston College a place that became to so many of those new arrivals a symbol of moving upward and onward how fitting that Boston College whose towers on the heights have reached a Heaven's own blue for so many should sponsor this salute to tip O'Neal tip you are a true son of Boston College and our friend [Applause] and we salute you you are also a leader of the nation and for that we honor you but you also embody so much of what this nation is all about the hope that is America so you make us proud as well my friend you make make us proud thank you God bless you say one word of [Music] thanks i' love you thank you Mr as you will know from the program I have some formal remarks to make later but at this time I would like to thank the president of the United States this is a great country I have travel the nations of the world and you see on one end of the hall the uh the leadership and the the other end of the hall of minority and they don't even speak to each other it's just uh understandable in a democracy like our country that the president and I often times don't see eye to eye we have our little squabbles but when he calls me at night he says is it 6:00 can we talk to Friendly sure absolutely so we stop we swap an Irish story or two Mr President you know we have differed in philosophy but I want to tell you how much I had admire your ability your talent the way you handle the American people the love that the American people have for you and your leadership even though I have opposed to it I have oppos I have opposed it when I thought it was wrong with the philosophy that I believe in I think truly that you did a magnificent job with regards to the Philippines I think you did a marvelous job with regards the Haiti let me say this Mr President your charm your humor your wit sometimes when I get up in the morning I said don't let it get you old [Applause] boy you're a beautiful individual Mr President thank you for being [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] here [Music] [Applause] [Music] la a | Reagan Library | UCMP5_7v48WfDKfoirLCcNgQ | 2017-02-27 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

V-aYW4L0w1c | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-aYW4L0w1c | Schwarzenegger Style BICEPS & TRICEPS Workout with Bikini Champion Ashleigh Jackson. | so this piece of cardio equipment is probably the most recognizable in in almost every gym around the world the treadmill it's great for low impact walking on an incline to a jog to a Sprint so I'm just going to show you now how it set this up when you first got the treadmill go press start or quick start then we have various options on here the first thing we're going to do is we're going to increase the speed and we're just going to do it to a slow steady walk so maybe we're going to put that to around about 2.5 miles an hour from there we can either increase or decrease the incline so if we want to walk uphill we'll simply press the incline up button and we're going to take that up to level three show that walking on an incline can burn up to twice as many calories as you do when you're walking on a flat and a treadmill is a great way for you to come in warm up cool down or even do a full cardio based workout that's a demonstration of a walk if we were going to go into a slight jog we'll just put the treadmill up to about 5.3 miles an hour but you'll just force you're into a slight run once you've done that it's really simple you can either slow it down and go down to a slow walk again or if that point you want to stop the treadmill just simply press the stop button or in an emergency pull the cord off which will completely stop the treadmill right there okay guys next exercise is going to be a drag curl so we've taken a barbell and if you know where we'll put our hands just slightly wider and shoulder shoulder width apart now with the drag curl what you're going to do is you're going to bring your chest up to the sky we've stood almost straight with a slight Bend in our knees now what we're going to do I'll turn the side and show you I'm going to bring this up by pushing my elbows back in not my forearm becomes about parallel with the ground below it so as I come up I'm imagining I'm bending the bar and I'm driving it with the Palm side of my pinky finger as if I'm trying to twist it so can you see how my elbows gone back as I'm dragging it up my body every single time oh sure again just make sure as we bring this up we're driving our elbows back so it's allowing us to drag the bow up our body to help form an alternate and dumbbell curl what we've done is we've took a normal bench put on a 45 degree incline and she's just resting a glute against it she can do one arm at a time and as she's going to bring it up to contraction she's going to twist the pinky finger in which is going to really overemphasize The Squeeze on her bicep so not a wrist position on this still slightly drop back and she's really twisting that pinky side in which is getting maximum contraction on that bicep so can you see the position of the dumbbell changing as she takes it to the top and the bottom portion of the exercise so she's twisting it now to be in line with the legs and then she's twisting that pinky round if you notice at the bottom she's also a tensing a tricep as she's alternating the opposite arm when we're doing this it's important that we can get a contraction the bicep and not just throw weight around that's why I've chosen a weight which actually will be able to get around about 10 12 reps on each arm but feel a contraction on every single rep hey guys we're moving on to a rope tricep push down this is my personal favorite rope it's longer than the conventional rope what you find now if you don't have one of these you can still create a very similar one by using two of these ropes and put them together at the clip there which creates the same length but for this exercise I'm going to do it on this particular rope here the good thing about this is you can put your hands in there in the lock position now again as with all tricep exercise that we've done so far we're leaning forward ever so slightly and the emphasis is going to be on making sure that that rope comes down in a straight manner now as you get into this position we're tucking our elbows in and we're taking the tension on 12 triceps as we're going to do this we're going to push the triceps down but as we go down we're twisting them out all the way now note where that rope is it's going up my face my arms on my forearms are going about three inches above parallel to keep maximum stretch on them triceps and I'm pushing it down and I'm pulling them ropes apart and twisting my wrists out over so just watch the Rope position on this it's going straight up and down notice how slow and steady I'm taking this I'm not just pumping these reps out I'm feeling every part of the stretch and of the contraction and it's really important to get the amount of muscle connection on this to hit the tricep heads okay moving on guys to the overhead EZ bar cable extension again make sure that the position of this rope is about in line with your chest now we're going to grip this bar on the close grip side of the Z bar and once we take that we're going to let it drop down far enough to engage our tricep but not too far to stretch our shoulders keeping our shoulders as we are and keeping our elbows tucked in we're then going to fully extend and drive through now no to my hand position as I return this my wrist forward which is putting great emphasis onto my tricep can you see on my hands forward to keep that stretch keep the elbows tucked in and squeeze every rep stretch allow your body in your mind to connect so you can put quite a bit of stress and emphasis on the triceps triceps are a fantastic muscle which often get overlooked in the aisle people generally focus on the bicep but the tricep is three separate heads and the far greater in size the more the biceps are so don't underestimate this make sure you get the blood there and make sure that you give them the one workout I like to to do biceps and triceps together generally I'll either start with my triceps or I'll throw two triceps with one biceps and then two triceps one biceps okay guys this next exercise for triceps is probably not something that you're familiar with or have seen been using a gym and it's a very old school movement back in the 70s and 80s and it's a form of a tricep Kickback but we're going to use the low cable pulley and the knee said bar to get it right so first of all we're going to set this so it's just about the middle of oceans to get this completely right then we're going to take the z bar and place it behind our kneecaps and work walk backwards now this is a position that I'm in I've got a slight Bend in my knees and my shoulders are both mug loots and what I'm going to do now is I'm now going to take this and contract it all the way back before I bring It Forward and take a full extension and note my wrist position on this as well the forward so I can squeeze and get that contraction the good thing about this exercise is it lets you get that mind to muscle connection in it different way than using a dumbbell for a tricep Kickback which is the general way people do them but again this exercise is probably not one that you're going to be able to go overly heavy with and form on this exercise is absolutely Paramount give this one a go okay guys most gyms around the world have this or one of these machines it's an Amco machine otherwise known as a preacher curl now the first thing that we're going to do on this is slightly alter the way that we sit so conventionally this machine would have you sat on here like that Lent over in your wood curl that to there which is great but I think it's a slightly better way that you can get the contraction and a stretch on your biceps and what I like to do on this machine is I like to lay into it so I don't use the seat I'll link to it and what I'll do is I'll bring this up and I'll put my head down I'll drop my wrists back and see the angle of these this automatically forces me to put the pressure through the Palm side not the pinky side of my palm so head goes down I pull it up open yourself how every time I emphasize that I'm lifting my elbows off the pad to hold that contraction and this just really helps get a stretch and a contraction on them biceps so they'll just watch over my head does [Music] it feels down I'll put it back up and it's really important in this that you control the negative as well so what I mean by that one more time to show you is on the negative count in your head four seconds as you're going down to take the full stretch and as you're coming up it's two seconds then hold the squeeze for a second and back down on four again this is all about trying to get the blood to the bicep so this isn't seen in every gym around the world but it's an absolutely fantastic piece of cardio equipment it's called the StairMaster and it can be absolutely brutal but so rewarding you see a lot of professional athletes particularly bodybuilders bikini girls who absolutely love this for their for the simple fact that it puts a good emphasis on your glutes while you're doing it so when you do get on this StairMaster just press the green button in front of you what that'll do it'll release the break off the revolving staircase now the staircase will move depending on the user's weight and all you're going to do is by turn the level up is release the brake a little bit more which will allow your evolving staircase to revolve that little bit faster Ashley uses this daily so she's a seasoned Pro on this machine and she loves it there's various ways you can use it you can use it a single step at a time or she could go on two steps at a time so now her feet will miss one tread and take two steps up you could make it even more advanced by doing a glute Kickback as you're stepping up the steps [Music] as I said this is an absolutely amazing piece of Kit and if your Gym's got one you're a really lucky person so make the most of this don't be afraid of it start off if you can do one minute and then work your way up to two minutes and what sometimes we do is we'll do a period of time on this and we'll then put somebody off it back onto the treadmill and then come back on again so that way they can work the wheel to a level uh Ashley's currently doing around about one hour solid on this now myself I'll probably do about three or four minutes it's a hard piece of equipment but so rewarding and so so beneficial to anybody so I would definitely recommend that you definitely give this a go give it a try don't be afraid of it and just to finish this one off as he's going to turn the speed off and she's going to show you now how she can get into a run and just note this fact as well on this particular StairMaster in the top left-hand corner there's a picture of a fan if she presses the picture of the fan that'll blow cold air out of face so she's gonna get a run as you do get more experience on this you'll be able to leave go of the handles but I would recommend you always stay within a balance as you can see now Ashley's actually in a run where her arms are moving as well as her arms are moving she's burning more calories because more parts of her body are moving again once you're finished on this StairMaster even again press the big red button in front of you and that will apply the brake to the staircase and allow you to safely dismount | Mike Hind MBE | UC2O-N5mk29cTX8OwyGz2N8g | 2023-04-22 | Creative Commons Attribution

9UlIWLnIzY8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UlIWLnIzY8 | Dragging MAME Into the 21st Century | hi i'm vas and i'm here today to talk about maine mame emulates arcade video games spanning multiple decades and technology generations but maim isn't just about traditional video games maim emulates electromechanical redemption gains electronic toys handheld lcd games gambling systems like slots and video poker computers and much more but maim is more than an emulator name acts as a form of living documentation name drivers specify the major devices that make up a system and the connections between them name strives to emulate hardware well enough for original software to run without patches or hacks our interactive debugger is something we take particular pride in it's included in every supported configuration and can target every cpu main emulates with it you can see not only what the software does but how it works name's goal is preservation of our digital heritage and this is important because software is culture now the most obvious acknowledgement of this is that software is almost universally eligible for copyright protection only creative works receive copyright protection over the past half a century software has provided shared experiences have you ever reminisced about using amiga os did you challenge someone to a game of tech can tag in an arcade did you learn to use a software package for your first desk job video games specifically are an entertainment and storytelling media space invaders doom and fortnite are all examples of video games that became cultural phenomena we're sometimes asked why maim emulates terrible games we believe that all culture is worthy of preservation something that seems inconsequential now may be considered notable in the future do you think the average roman thought the graffiti on the walls in pompeii was important as an example video games reflect the hopes and fears of a generation missile command evokes fear of nuclear annihilation while strikers 1945 is a fantasy of humanity uniting against a common foe parodies japanese gang culture while nak is born out of the u.s war on drugs nba jam and nfl blitz let teenagers step into the shoes of their sporting heroes it's often the mundane photos that provide the best windows into the way of life of prior generations and the same can be said for software cpm wordstar and busycalc give a hands-on experience of the computer revolution in the office you can see how much has changed as well as how much hasn't if you want to share memories with your children you might find a secondhand copy of a book you enjoyed or maybe a reprint or scam you might buy a blu-ray edition of a classic film i guess i'm showing my age there do you just stream everything these days maim allows you to experience software from the past and share that with the next generation on a personal note here a couple of years ago i wanted to show my son's street fighter ex2 plus but it really wasn't the same without spatial audio effects this pushed me to emulate the att dsp 16. cpu in main it's important that we actually make an effort to preserve software because software is very fragile it might be easy to losslessly duplicate bits but computers operating systems and software platforms can become obsolete surprisingly quickly some forms of protection and drm can even make duplicating the bits difficult today i'm going to talk specifically about dragging mame into the 21st century and some of the practicalities of a large open source project with two decades of history this is not going to be a highly technical talk i'm going to focus more on the non-technical side of name development let's touch on a few milestones in maine's history we'll see why these are particularly significant a bit later in february 1997 nicola salmoria's melty pack expanded in scope to become the multiple arcade machine emulator abbreviated as main while multi pack had targeted arcade games utilizing similar hardware to pac-man maim was open to all arcade video games in june 1998 less than two years later the first version of mess was released mess or the multi-emulator super system was a fork of name targeting video game consoles and home computers mess was by no means the only main fork with different emulation targets arcade gambling extensions for maine abbreviated as age main was a fork targeting gambling systems and misfit name was a fork that emulated arcade video games considered ineligible for inclusion in maine at the time skipping forward in october 2014 maine's master source code repository was hosted on github and in may 2015 after almost three years of sharing a source code repository mess was fully integrated into main at this point named the cease to mean anything as an acronym in march 2016 our arduous relicensing process was completed and maim 0.172 was released under the terms of the gunus general public license version 2. maim has always been dogged by rumors of its demise we've been told that we waste all our time emulating systems no one cares about now exactly which systems we're wasting time on seems to be in constant flux at one point it was japanese mahjong games i think for a while it was 3d games that would never run at playable speeds korean games got a bad rap for a while as did certain handheld lcd games more recently it's been unix workstations and tv games another perennial complaint is that maim always gets slower this is true to some extent more accurate emulation often comes at a cost in terms of system requirements one complaint that's become more frequently here recently is that mame developers are a bunch of grumpy old men i'm not quite sure how to take this i've got a lot of gray hair on my chest am i grumpy enough not to disappoint but despite this mame stubbornly refuses to die here's the very unscientific measure of commits to master per month over the past decade or so there's what looks like some seasonal variation in a few peaks but overall the rate picked up in late 2012 and has been pretty stable ever since the graph ends on a bit of a lull as people put there and took their end of year holidays here's the equally unscientific measure of unique good authors over time you can see that this really started to increase in late 2014 when we moved to github and has been growing ever since maim is still attracting contributors this ability to attract contributors is really what's kept the project alive maim lives on active development development drives user interest and inactive projects tend to wither in a way main development is maine's primary use case name development is challenging name is a fairly mature project basic functionality is complete name enjoyed exciting daily progress in the early days because there was lots of easy stuff to do we'll never see that again because the obvious easy stuff has all been done most of the time the remaining stuff is difficult for one reason or another name has been developed over a period of decades so it comes with a lot of baggage some of that comes from decisions that made sense at the time but are now weighing us down due to different demands and changes in the technological landscape some of it comes from things that were built without really being designed when a project gets as big as maine major refactoring and core changes become increasingly difficult there are a lot of use cases to consider and things need to be designed carefully to avoid painting ourselves into a corner migrating everything at once may not be an option and we need to keep everything working as much as possible contributing to maim comes with a number of constraints system drivers need to work within mains architecture this includes things like using the course scheduler modular devices and memes configurable slot system names core components are still under active development and contributors need to keep up we do take care of updating anything that's already in the master repository but main is not a static target developing a system single system emulator gives you a lot more freedom you know all the components and how they fit together you can build the user interface around how the system is used mains broad scope means a lot of things have to be very generic there's also mains guiding principles or philosophy we don't just aim to make games run we do our best to let software run how it did on the original hardware that means we don't do things like patching out system calls or injecting drivers for virtual hardware we explicitly avoid features for subjective enhancement but contributing to maim is attractive in many ways some of these are applicable to emulators in general there are always interesting challenges and things to discover there's the satisfaction as things fall into place and the excitement of seeing a system run for the first time maine and emulators in general often appeal to people's sense of nostalgia and maim is not your day job you can work on what you find interesting at your own pace more specifically maim has an extensive library of emulated devices systems built from off-the-shelf components can be emulated with relatively little code you can worry about the system specific stuff there's a lot of stuff to already taken care of historically main was quite exclusive name emulated arcade video games gambling systems were excluded specifically for a while low effort bootleg arcade games were excluded too there were reasons for this limiting the scope was supposed to keep the project focused people worried that accepting low effort bootlegs would encourage people to minimize minimally modify arcade games in the hope of seeing their creations added to maine this led to proliferation of forks like mess game consoles and computers and age main for gambling systems people liked the framework main provided and wanted to use it for things outside names narrow scope one of the most obvious detrimental effects of this was duplicated effort a device would be emulated for a system in mess then when an arcade game using the same device was found and dumped main would end up with a separate implementation name's implementation would be turn would turn out to be inadequate for how the device was used in mess with developers spread out across the forks silos formed major issues weren't tackled with the needs of all the related projects in view and there was a general lack of communication since absorbing the forks mame has realized some great benefits with everything under one roof we've got more test cases for our device library for example the same microcontrollers used for copy protection on arcade games were often used as keyboard controllers in home computers the different use cases often stress different aspects of the emulation any improvements to the core or device library are available to everyone immediately you no longer have to wait for emerge from upstream or worry that it's going to be incompatible with a local change in a fork we've now got all the developers under one roof so to speak there are still developers who gravitate towards particular areas whether that's home computers arcade games or workstations but there's a lot more communication and if you decide you want to dabble with something different there are no artificial barriers for someone looking to try emulating a less mainstream system there's no need to choose a fork anymore name is the natural choice but when someone's looking to get started we don't want them to get scared off early it's important to make the project approachable we like to have things everyone can do not everyone is a software developer people can contribute to maine by sourcing and dumping media whether that's arcade game runs floppy disks or even punch tapes for early home computers tracking this stuff down and getting good dumps is a challenge in its own right people can report emulation issues and provide test cases making layouts for systems that aren't primarily video based doesn't require any programming there's the user documentation as well these avenues of contributing can make people feel more directly involved in the project even if they aren't programs regular releases benefits everyone previews of ongoing development are far more exciting if you know you won't be waiting more than a month or two to try it out if you have yourself tracking down regressions yes we do occasionally break things is simpler when everyone's looking at the same project-wide checkpoints the release process itself becomes more time-consuming if too much has happened since the previous release public access to the project's version control system makes life easier for people who want to contribute source code it's simpler to follow on with more frequent updates seeing individual commits with descriptive messages lets you understand what's changing and why you won't feel like the rugs being pulled out from under you when a release finally arrives and it looks like everything's changed it also allows for quicker feedback from the community people who compile from source or play with nightly builds can discuss the effects of changes sooner this is easier than ever with free hosting from the likes of github gitlab and sourceforge distributed version control systems make it really easy to replicate repositories or migrate them to different hosting if need be it's also critical to have a transparent submission process now this is something maim really didn't do well in the past the way it used to work was you emailed your changes as a source code diff against the most recent release in all probability you wouldn't hear anything back directly so you'd wait for the next release which didn't come out on any kind of predictable schedule and check the source code to see if your changes have been applied if they hadn't you'd try to get a hold of a high-ranking main developer on a forum and ask what was going on the turnaround time really killed your momentum the pull request workflow is much better for everyone if a change is accepted you see it happen immediately feedback is public so anyone who wants to follow along can see what kind of things are encouraged or discouraged once again this is something that's easier to do than it was in the past with the features provided by platforms like github let's take a moment to talk about idiomatic code here's a sample of what main source code used to look like around the end of 2014 this function instantiates some audio devices and makes connections between them did i mention it's a function you might not have guessed given how everything is hidden behind macros the macros have multiple prefixes as a kind of crude name spacing and it looks like the code is yelling at you the macros didn't just obfuscate the code for humans they didn't work well with ide features like syntax highlighting and code completion either that's the kind of code you had to write to instantiate devices here's some of what you would have had to do if you wanted to write a device class yourself every device needed a whole lot of preprocessor macros for instantiation and configuration the first macro here for adding a ym2151 sound chip expands to another lower level macro the macros for connecting callbacks use hidden local device and dev cb variables created by the machine config fragment macro on top of that they're using token pasting to add this devcb prefix to the argument to make the client code less verbose if we look at the member functions that actually connect the callbacks they're relying on downcasts if you called them why and the hidden local variables weren't in the right state you wouldn't get a compiler error it might crash horribly when the code was run or you could corrupt memory and fail in even less obvious ways later you'd almost think this was designed for an underhanded c competition writing devices was a blackout that no one fully understood people relied on copy pasting and cargo culti if you look at the same drivers today it's barely recognizable the function is a class member with a simple signature that isn't hidden behind multiple macros there are no magic local variables for macros to use the ncfg macros have given way to member function calls it's a lot easier for humans to read everything's typed properly so ides can provide suggestions and you'll get a compile error if you try to use a configuration function that isn't applicable refactoring is safer because things fail sooner in the development workflow it's easier for the people writing the devices too there are no more macros to write and the configuration member functions are far simpler here are the ym2151 callback configuration functions as they appear today there isn't really much to say about them anymore writing a reusable device is far simpler when things aren't obfuscated so more people do it at one point maine's macro metal language the machine configuration was actually one of its strong points so how did it end up becoming a liability well c plus plus compilers evolved and c plus plus itself evolved without the c plus plus 14 we'd still be writing macro soup despite accusations of bloat new c plus features are actually there to solve real world problems and can make the language more expressive code is easier to read as well as write if you aren't working around limitations of the language use features when they make code safer and more readable or improve performance but don't fall into the trap of using features just for the sake of it part of understanding a feature is knowing when it's inappropriate to use now writing the framework code that underpins these sweeping changes and was difficult it requires an understanding of what the language can and can't do and you can find yourself fighting compiler bugs if you start to use newer or more obscure language features you need to consider existing use cases as well as what the current limitations are you don't want to update everything only to find you need to replace it all again sooner rather than later name is big and updating everything to use the new syntax took months while this was happening things were arguably worse than they were to begin with it would have been too much effort to update everything at once and leaving everything broken wasn't an option this meant using various tricks to support new and old syntax at the same time and temporarily dealing with clashing styles throughout the code base ensuring legacy code isn't added is a challenge after working on the project for years you become accustomed to the framework and any major changes in upheaval developers like to learn by example and it's hard to do things the new way when most of the available examples haven't been updated leaving things as they were would have been the path of least resistance but we're definitely better off for making the changes we've got higher productivity it's easier to write reusable device classes now so more people do it the code is safer and clearer and more errors are called a compile time we spend far less time tracking down runtime errors like bad cast exceptions devices not being found and call back late bind errors caused by silly mistakes in machine configuration code if you understand c plus the new syntax is fairly intuitive if you can understand the code more easily you can more easily edit it or use it as an example to write new code of your own when someone gets curious and looks at the source code this can be the factor that decides whether they want to get more involved or walk away because it looks too difficult open source projects do mean management at some level for the most part management in maine only happens at a very high level and at a very low level with nothing in between at the high level we can set overall goals and direction for the project at the low level we do have some best practices for how mains framework should be used and there are a few coding standards we can more or less agree on however there's no task assignment or prioritization most contributors work on what they find interesting at their own pace there are exceptions if a change causes serious regressions it usually needs to be fixed or backed out there's some coordination when it comes to core functionality changes that affect everyone there's a common misunderstanding about this we're often asked why don't you guys just spend a month working on x putting aside coordination issues the answer is that for that to happen you'd need a month where where everyone decided they wanted to work on the same thing and that's just not going to happen there are going to be times when decisions need to be made no decision is going to make everyone happy but indecision is going to make everyone unhappy decisions need to be well reasoned and the goal always needs to be the good of the project as a whole solicit input if you need to explain major decisions and lay out the thought process behind them don't assume that it's as obvious to everyone as it is to you also the process makes you more likely to realize when a decision isn't so crash hot if you feel stupid explaining your decision there's a fair chance your decision is stupid set a minimum bar for quality in your project bad code weighs everyone down and it's a lot easier to do something right the first time than it is to fix it after the fact explain what's wrong with submissions that don't meet standards be specific in your criticisms i really hate it when someone says this code smells it's effectively i don't like this code but i can't articulate why that doesn't help anyone specific criticism is good and explaining or providing an example of the preferred implementation is even better that helps people feel they've learned something document standards if it's practical it's hard to avoid breaking rules you don't know exist this is an area where maine is lacking and i'll admit right now that i'm not good at expressing this kind of stuff at the right level i find it difficult to articulate coding standards without becoming overly prescriptive always remember that as a leader or manager your job is to make sure everyone can do their jobs often that means knowing when it's time to get out of the way one thing every project needs to do is choose a license unless you have very specific requirements i'd urge you to choose a license that's approved by the open source initiative the free software foundation or ideally by both of them these licenses are written and audited by real intellectual property lawyers so they're unambiguous and likely to hold up in court if necessary they're widely understood so someone wanting to contribute or make good use of your code won't need to spend time and potentially money auditing with the license using an osi or fsf approved license comes with perks too many companies make tools or services available at no cost for open source or free software development this is most often defined as being distributed under the terms of an osi or fsf approved license writing your own license is fraught with danger maim previously had a custom copylife license it had a disclaimer it required complete source to be distributed and it prohibited commercial use the actual wording was redistributions may not be sold nor may they be used in a commercial product or activity now if you're at all familiar with the osi or the fsf you'll know that this doesn't meet their definitions of open source or free software this was a way to voice disapproval towards people using maine to build things like bootleg arcade multi-game kits of course in practice it didn't really have much effect arcade bootleggers are already ignoring copyright on the games themselves they're not going to care about complying with a copyleft license on an emulator when the source code is right there in front of them as well as missing out on the previously mentioned perks writing your own license can severely limit adoption of your code adding any restrictions to your license will make it incompatible with popular copyleft licenses that explicitly prohibit this like the gnu gpl and the cddl restrictions can also have unintended side effects museums that charge for entry felt they couldn't use main in interactive exhibits with out violating the license because selling tickets is a commercial activity rights holders looking to reissue games couldn't leverage maine in their products either bad guys ignore licenses anyway so the restrictions in the main license were only hurting the good guys the people trying to do the right thing by everyone this was clearly an undesirable situation to remedy this we undertook an effort to allow maim as a whole to be distributed under the terms of the gnu general public license version 2. this was a time consuming process we had to identify contributors find means of contacting them and explain what we were doing and why in some cases we had to remove code that we couldn't obtain permission to re-license and re-implement the functionality later this is all time that could have been better spent productively you don't want to have to go through this so think carefully when choosing a license now we could have avoided the trouble if we had a contributor license agreement that required copyright assignment however that comes with its own set of issues it can make a project less attractive to contributors because they may feel they'll lose control over their code you also need to choose a trustworthy copyright custodian and have a handover plan for contingencies this may require incorporating a company to serve as the legal entity holding copyright let's talk a little about promoting your product admittedly this is something maine could do a lot better there's a lot you can do to keep people interested make sure people want to read your release notes write an executive summary calling out the highlights give some kind of summary of changes that non-developers can understand each main release comes with lists of resolved issues newly supported systems and software and merge pull requests if you're working on something interesting people will love to read progress reports some of the things people particularly like are videos of newly supported systems running before after comparisons highlighting bug fixes and anecdotes about the development process try demonstrating some of the cool things that can be achieved with new features when you implement them now i know as well as anyone how hard this can be you've just finished something off and pushed your changes do you really want to go to the effort of making a publicity video or blog post it's more likely you just want to take a break or jump straight into the next task it can really help if you've got a natural publicist on the team someone who can take a crude description of a change from a developer and turn it into a press release yes this is another way people who aren't software developers can contribute to open source software it really pays to have a social media presence get out there on the forums that you use as frequent answer the genuine questions give your answers context people are often curious about the reason things are the way they are if you find the same questions coming up repeatedly it could mean something is lacking in your documentation if you do this it will help spread knowledge through the community soon enough you'll find that the community can answer a lot of the simpler or more common questions before you even see them you can gain a lot of goodwill by implementing lower effort feature requests if someone requests a feature nicely and it's easy to implement and it won't break anything you've got absolutely nothing to lose by doing it but you stand to gain one very thrilled and user and potential future project evangelist before we get to the q a i'm going to end with some random advice from my experience with maine stay true to your goals mame has stubbornly stuck to its core principles of preservation and raising the bar for emulation we haven't bowed to public pressure to compromise whether that's by taking shortcuts excluding supposedly unworthy emulation targets or implementing whatever hacks are currently in vogue mame has thrived by doing this after decades maim is still actively developed and taking on emulation targets that were considered impossible not that long ago just a few short years ago the nintendo game and watch line were considered impossible to emulate accurately mame has grown to be bigger than any one person and this is a bridge a project has to cross if it's to be viable long term mame has transitioned through half a dozen coordinators with very different management styles and the emphasis on different areas release notes still feature a few familiar names but there are lots of new faces i'm going to do my best to ensure maim has what it takes to outlive me you can't finish something you don't start don't focus on the obstacles between you and the goal focus on the steps you can take to get there looking back over the past few years we've pulled off some amazing internal changes to maine while keeping the vast majority of stuff working none of this would have been done if we'd only looked at how far away the goal was if it stops being fun take a step back as i mentioned before one of the purported attractions of maim is that it isn't your day job there's no point working on it if you don't enjoy it there's always plenty to do so you can switch tasks if you hit a wall or want to try something different you can walk away and when you come back maim will still be there for you finally don't lose sight of names purpose maim is here to ensure that software isn't lost to time make the most of that play a game console that you wanted but never poor try out a computer from the opposite side of the iron curtain maybe write a program in a language you were too long to ha too young to have the dubious pleasure of working with i'm going to leave it there i haven't used up all my a lot of time so we have plenty of time for questions and answers if there are no questions i guess we can all head out and get a beer early thanks for watching | MAME | UC-ynwwJKlNQipcym48qPI3A | 2021-02-10 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 5,260 | 30,227 |
P1XJav53Ywk | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1XJav53Ywk | DevCon 2020 Presentation: Wearable Devices | [Music] my name is kirby atwater i'm located in the chicago area and one of the product marketing engineers for the mems and sensors technologies in north america what i'm going to talk about a little bit is some important points for about st's mem sensors as it applies to wearable technologies so when you consider the iot wearable space st is very well positioned to support the wide range of wearable technologies we have an extensive portfolio as well as our bluetooth low energy and sub gigahertz wireless technologies together and offer a complete solution for sensing uh and communication portions of the wireless iot uh applications and wearable applications our madness motion sensors are capable of sensing simple motions uh like a wake from sleep scenario but also capable of sensing um and making decisions based on multiple uh complex movements or series of movements and gestures our environmental sensors are available to sense temperature uh pressure uh for maybe elevation sensing and then also relative humidity and all these capab capabilities are exceptional foundation for the development of some of the newer tracking bands that have been requested by some governments uh to help with contract tracing for covet 19. having a bluetooth low energy radio and a very low power accelerometer create a very efficient solution able to be powered by a coin cell or other small power source to evaluate and develop with our sensors and wireless components st has developed a few different hardware tools and accompanying software tools to aid in the evaluation both light and full-featured development processes that may be required by your engineering team so first we're going to take a look at the essential dot box as a great example sensor tile dot box as shown here is the little blue box with many different sensors both motion and environmental based as well as bluetooth low energy communication that works with our android or ios implementation of the stblu sensor app for your smartphone or tablet both are available on the respective app stores on google play if you search for stble sensor on either one of the app stores let's take a further look at the sensation box and some of its internal components so here we see the top of the pc board on the left the central tile that box is powered by the stm32l4 microcontroller includes a grouping of environmental sensors as well as a bluetooth low energy 5 module for communicating to the stb le sensor app on your smartphone or tablet and then also a grouping of motion sensors in the upper left-hand corner finally a micro usb port for direct connection for additional communications and also for advanced development capabilities that we'll talk about in a little bit on the right side you see the reverse side of the pc board the 500 milliamp lithium polymer battery under that battery there's a micro sd flash card slot with capabilities of supporting up to eight gigabytes of sd flash which you can then use to store sample data for later processing after acquisition finally there's an stv st-link v3 for direct debug connection to the stm32l4 so let's take a look let's take a little further look at the sensors on the board if we take a look at the motion sensors first we have the lsm6 dsox it's a six axis accelerometer and viral combo what we refer to as an imu or international inertial measurement unit this particular device has a built-in finite state machine and machine learning core capabilities a little later on an in-depth discussion on this functionality will be presented by one of my colleagues additionally there's two different three acid accelerometers the is-3 ultra low noise 2.5 g precision inclinometer and the lis 2 dw 12 ultra low power accelerometer and finally we have a three axis magnetometer the lis2 mdl for the environmental sensors in the middle we have the lps22hh our absolute atmospheric pressure sensor the stts 751 digital temperature and the hts-221 relative humidity sensor along with the mp23 abs-1 analog bottom port microphone which has the capability of sensing into the ultrasonic frequencies to aid in predictive maintenance type applications i mentioned it's powered by the stm32l4r9 variant one of our most powerful devices and we also have the blue energy m2s6 family with ble5 uh modules rounding out the hardware is the stbc02 battery management ic for the lithium-ion battery that you saw just to highlight the bluetooth modules a little bit there are two really two options the ultra low power or low cost variations based on both of them are based on the bluetooth 5 ic the blue energy 2 running a cortex m0 at 24 256k flash and 24k of ram both of these are bluetooth 6 certified and have all the regulatory certifications for quick time to market for mass-market customers both come with an extensive peripheral set uh the i scored c spi ur dma pdm inputs for our digital microphones just to name a few what differentiates the two the m2sa comes with a high efficiency chip antenna and is power consumption optimized with an internal switch mode power supply while the m2 sp is a cost optimized pc board with pc board trace antenna and an internal ldo oscillator instead when you use the st blue sensor app for either android or ios this allows the engineer to utilize the such a tide that box with various levels of develop of development uh and in the case of entry mode that we're looking at here the customer can utilize pre-programmed applications that are stored in the app itself that can be downloaded and run on the sensor tile dot box and with the data then communicated back to the smartphone or tablet via the ble connection some examples include the pedometer function simple vibration monitoring leveling and inclination human activity recognition just to name a few there the next level above that is the what we call the expert working mode this is a mode that allows the user to define the applications by selecting the desired sensors and creating functions directly from the mobile app the expert mode allows the user to adjust the parameters of each of the sensors for example maybe the full scale the output data rate and various filtered link the customer can build this application in the working mode without writing a single line of code that's a nice feature with this and finally we have what we call the pro working mode this mode is fully compatible with our stm32 oda environment targeting professional level of development in this case the user is able to write custom firmware based on the stm32 cube hardware abstraction layers middleware and some of the various examples included many of the examples are available in source code level to provide a great reference when starting a new design next we'll take a look at the algobuilder application that you can run on your pc algo builder is a pc based graphical user interface and development environment especially designed for the ease of evaluation and develop of software that you're going to embed into the microcontroller that will either manage one or multiple sensors uh depending on what your desired application is the tool allows the customer to create a like a block diagram or a flowchart the signal coming from a particular sensor's uh you know from the inputs the processing path that uh may consist of filters or or embedded libraries and other functions and then the output signals as they may be desired this again done completely without the engineering having to write any code of their own tool is fully compatible with our stm32 ide and visualization tools for viewing the performance of the algorithm that's generated so this this shows a graphical kind of how it all integrates together and the algae builder works very well with essentia tile that box it's one of the best tools to fully utilize the sensortal.box capabilities the tool allows the customer to take pre-compiled code libraries his firmware template in the code designed in the algo builder itself combine them into a framework project that you can use with either the stm32 cube id compiler i'll mention it's a no-cost compiler tool set for the customer or if the customer has iar or kyle they have a seat of one of those they can use that also it's just the compiler the debugger and the programming tools are all linked into algobuilder there's no need for the outside the customer to go outside of the development environment to develop compile and test the algorithms once the center tile dot box has been programmed the the the unico uh gui interface can be called from the algo builder um to visualize the uh application as as desired the algo builder the stm32 cube ide sensor tile dot box along with the capabilities of the stble sensor tool for your smartphone make for a very versatile development tool chain for st's many different sensors [Music] you | STMicroelectronics | UCjnmZw3h4XnpK3e5D2jvIGA | 2020-11-12 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) |

NPos3QNoVGc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPos3QNoVGc | Brad Frost - Future Friendly Web Design | this isn't the web right once upon a time it was hence this amazingly crusty looking desktop computer right but this is the sort of web that we've been used to for the past 20 or so years but that just simply isn't the case anymore as was just mentioned right we have all these different devices this flood of devices we have smartphones we have dumb phones we have netbooks we have notebooks we have tablets we have e-readers we have game consoles we have internet-enabled tvs a whole lot more all of a sudden the concept of the web becomes a whole lot bigger if you think about it and look at it you know a lot more complex a little more daunting right but perhaps what's more important than you know all the things that are in existence today is what's right around the corner right the last session showed us sort of the future of you know all these devices and you know of course there's the the fabled tweeting refrigerator right stuff like that you know printers with detachable tablets microsoft actually developed some technology that projects a screen over your windshield of your car like talk about like a literal blue screen of death right if that fails it's off a cliff right but perhaps you know all this stuff is out there already right you could go to a department store and buy you know a web enabled refrigerator right the second right but what's more important than the devices in our periphery are these question marks right nobody knows not even the best informed in the world knows exactly what the device landscape is going to look like even two years from now right you know you sort of think you have it figured out all right we're pumping out a bunch of black rectangles and then all of a sudden bam google comes out with google glass and it's like well that happened right how do we react to that it's crazy so it's impossible to say that we could actually create anything that's truly future proof and you hear that a lot oh we need to future our our site we need to future-proof our you know our product or service whatever but just because it's literally impossible to say that we could create anything that's future-proof that doesn't mean that there aren't things that we could do today to better prepare us for what's in store so that's really what being future friendly is all about is really acknowledging and embracing the unpredictability of the future right change is the only constant is a phrase that's thrown around a lot and that's especially true when it comes to this tech landscape so you know in order to sort of change uh you know how we operate we need to change the way we think and we act easily the biggest thing we could do as creators right not just for the web but in general is to focus this is especially true because people's capacity for is rapidly diminishing so what i mean by that right this is a website this isn't the greatest example of web design ever but it's also not the worst right but if you look at that highlighted little area there right that's the only reason anybody would find themselves on this web page right but it commands such a small percentage of the screen real estate right in case that isn't explicit enough right a whole lot of i was on a dictionary website looking for a definition and i was like where did i miss something where ah yes there it is it's amazing yeah the sole purpose of that website is to get all right all right does this ever happen to you right click a link get a million pop-ups subscribe to our newsletter like us on facebook sign up for our sales right every time that this happens this is what goes through my mind right welcome to our website screw you right as users of the web right we're getting really really good at circumventing right you don't like your reading experience on the web you use a tool like readability or instapaper flipboard or safari reader to have a much much better reading experience right don't like ads ad block plus don't like tv commercials use your tivo or your dvr to skip through them right you know you pay for an online subscription to something and they still show you a bunch of ads before right pirate bayer bittorrent not recommending it i'm just saying that that's what people are doing right again we're getting really really good at you know circumventing all the all the roadblocks that you know content providers are you know putting up in our way so it's essential to focus right focus on what it is you're working on whatever it might be it could be a website it could be a business it could be a product it could be cat ears what is it that you do and focus on that focus on what really really makes your product makes your service makes your organization stand out and we're seeing this happen because again people are so frustrated with their current experiences that you know we're finding ways to get around it right service is like simple which is a uh you know a sort of digital uh online bank is you know trying to compete with these big clunky banks at least in the us right who are just giving users a miserable miserable experience right this is an alternative there's a new uh anybody heard a forecast io it's a nice little web app that believe it or not just presents you the weather what a concept right a weather app that actually presents you the weather not a bunch of extra right it's absolutely essential to define what it is you do and focus on that and everything else will fall into place and once you have that focus there it's really becoming absolutely imperative to make sure that it you know is is able to go to as many places as possible stephanie rieger i love this quote she says the most valued products will be designed to live beyond the device the context or technology they originally intended for that's exactly true right but here we are and we sort of talked about this you know yesterday i'm sure we're all familiar with this person right i got a great idea for an app really so does my grandma right but again it's about that focus so what is it you're actually trying to do focus on good ideas focus on sound ideas on honest ideas on sincere ideas right whenever you look at services like netflix and amazon kindle right netflix isn't just a website that streams you know movies it's a way you know to provide digital movies to people wherever they might be right the amazon kindle isn't just a 70 dollar piece of plastic that you can buy but rather a quick and easy way to buy and purchase and read ebooks right these are solid service ideas right these aren't these aren't just websites these aren't just apps and one of the core parts of uh of being future friendly is investing in that infrastructure right it's about sort of taking a step back from individual channels and making sure that your data your content your your service your product whatever it might be is as portable as humanly possible right a sort of poster child of this was actually karen talks about in her book quite a bit is uh npr the publisher in america and they have all these different content sources but then they wrote this really robust api that's very you know channel agnostic and then as a result they're able to port their content they're able to pour their content into all these different containers send it to all these different uh you know apps websites mobile websites time scripts times square news ticker and stuff like that it's crazy that's becoming absolutely important because i love this picture because i look at it and it like knocks the wind out of me every single time i look at it i'm like oh this is our reality right we don't get to choose you know oh let's pick and choose which devices we're going to to support right this diversity is is you know becoming absolutely imperative for us to pay attention to and it's a tremendous opportunity for us as people creating for the web right because the real power of the web is its ubiquity you can't create an iphone app that could reach all of those devices right you can't create an android app that's going to reach all these desktop screens tv screens and mobile screens but the web can go to places that these apps and stuff can't right tim berners-lee sitting awkwardly in the middle of the stadium at the london olympics right tapped out on his computer you know this is for everyone right the web is for everyone regardless of race religion color creed mobile carrier right but the problem is is that we're sort of in the present day still thinking of the web on these sort of on these mobile devices on these smaller devices that's sort of a less than web experience right does this ever happen to anybody sorry that page is supported on mobile at this time follow my health currently requires a desktop browser a mobile version will be available soon giving us that false sense of hope right is it soon yet right it's available on our current full html website no doritos for you this gallery is not supported on mobile at this time the story you're trying to reach isn't supported at this time looks like you're using an unsupported browser even though you're on a perfectly capable android device pizza hut keep up the great work doing a great job right slavery footprint which is a really beautiful website about you know how we're all sort of inadvertently contributing to human trafficking in this day and age but they have some long-winded excuse about why all that great content isn't available on small screens this one's great this website contains media too rich for a mobile web browser i can't be bothered with you peasant device all right be gone there's google's mobile web initiative page and it says alternately we suggest checking out the site from your tablet if you have one i don't know what that looks like but i'm pretty sure it's a tablet but this one still takes the cake this page has to be ideally opened on your laptop or desktop browser once you open this link on your computer then you will have a qr code to the url that needs to be opened on your device a human being wrote that and i will find them right but what we're getting at and what we're seeing more and more of is that mobile users will do anything and everything a desktop user will do it just has to be there right we just need to provide it in a usable way right there's a lot of really sort of high falutin words and concepts about this right the one web principle this concept of thematic consistency where yeah okay things can you know look a little different or behave a little different but as long as the core contents there that's what's really important but i find it most effective to just speak in very human terms give people what they want regardless of how they access the web that's pretty basic it's pretty hard to accomplish right what it requires is achieving what i call content parity right content parity just means giving people what they want regardless of how they access the web so quick example of this this is uh an older version of nike's website right so they're they're they have this hip website and they're advertising the nike pro combat hypercool 2.0 product right then you go over to their dedicated ipad site yes that's a dedicated ipad site and wow things look a whole lot different and then whenever you go over to the mobile views they actually have multiple mobile views one for the iphone and one for everything else which the everything else one is looking quite brilliant right there right so they recently did a redesign it's not responsive or anything but if you look at it on a desktop you look at it on a tablet and you look at it on a mobile device you could see that wow okay that content sort of seems similar across the board it really begs the question right does content parody trump all is it about creating this super catered experience for mobile devices or tablet devices or is it just more important to actually give people the content and functionality they're after right i like to say get your content ready to go anywhere because it's going to go everywhere right i love this picture of devices because that articulates that point so clearly right and it's also important it's like okay well so now we have we have mobiles we have tablets and we have desktop easy we got these three little buckets uh jason grigsby does a lot of thinking around responsive design and he's saying you know it's becoming increasingly impossible to really draw a hard line you know between what is a desktop what is a tablet what is a mobile device right we have so many uh you know desktop devices that also have touch screens we have tablets that detach from laptops you know we have all of these things sort of you know it's becoming impossible to sort of create a catered experience across the board and that's where responsive web design comes in right we finally have sort of some tools in our toolkit to create a more sort of agnostic but still optimized experience for all these different devices it's again becoming so increasingly important to do that right we have to embrace the sort of general squishiness of the web right we can no longer think in terms of just you know a desktop context with rigid fixed widths but rather think of you know unique ways of how we could translate our interfaces across all these different devices right john alsop who uh was very much the the inspiration for ethan marcotte who coined the term uh responsive web design uh has this great quote that talks about how the web is this fluid medium right it doesn't have the same constraints as as mediums of pass wherever we have these fixed dimensions right we have you know it's not a piece of paper with edges with hard edges so we need to sort of embrace the ebb and flow of this very fluid medium so that's you know how we can sort of translate a single design across a bunch of different screen sizes it's becoming more important than ever right what we also just saw in the last session if you were here is that you know these devices and these systems some even without an interface at all are all starting to communicate with each other and that's becoming absolutely important in our day and age because uh as the last speaker just said you know moore's law is still very much in in effect we're beginning to put chips in everything we're being able to you know communicate with our surroundings right now we have a bunch of smartphones we have a bunch of tablets we have a bunch of desktops you know all sitting in this room but they're all sort of not aware of each other right but that's sort of quickly changing as well right we're starting to slowly realize new methods of interaction to really make the most use out of each stream's uh strength right this is um uh my friend luke he runs an app called polar and he partnered with microsoft to sort of show how you could actually have a mobile phone you know interacting or you could interact with your mobile phone while your tablet's sort of doing something different while you could be watching a video on the right side of your screen but you could also sort of see the updates of your polls on the left panel so these are all ways that the webs can sort of you know work across different devices to create entirely new experiences and again that's becoming really really important right now we're seeing a lot of this in in the sort of native world right you see the apple ecosystem right anybody has an apple tv you could stream your iphone to your apple tv you could stream from your ipad you know all that all those devices can work really well together but the problem is is that it's a very closed system and of course as we know the device landscape is much much bigger than apple right so what if you have a samsung tv and an iphone and a microsoft tablet right how do you sort of bridge that gap how do you make everything work well together and again back to the ubiquity of the web it's a great medium it sort of becomes this glue that allows us to sort of stitch these different devices together and again google google recently came out and they said that you know 90 of users will start a task on one device and end up you know finishing it elsewhere and again so we need to start thinking about the continuity of our experiences right what we're really getting at is that we we don't know what's going to be underneath christmas trees two years from now right but that's what we need to be designing for today because there's a damn good chance that those things are going to have access to the web if you think about it even things that you made in the last year or two are being interacted with on devices that didn't exist when you made them and that's just a crazy concept and that's not going away and probably the best thing that we could do whenever it comes to being more future friendly is to be more present friendly right be more aware of the devices that are out there today do a better job at trying to support more and more uh you know operating systems browsers you name it just get your content in front of more people i like to say that today's boot camp is sorry today's landscape is boot camp for tomorrow's insanity because this isn't going to slow down this isn't going to get very much easier right so it's important to say that this stuff is legitimately hard but it's absolutely necessary right we have to continue to move forward right we're in too young of an industry and the web's only 20 years old that's like you know we're in like 0.0001 second of after the big bang right now there's so much opportunity uh there's so much to be to to learn and there's so much we can do to to evolve our skill set i really love this uh quote from benjamin franklin right when you're finished changing you're finished i think that that's especially true with what we do i also think that it's really important to keep an open mind right different people solve the same problem in a bunch of different ways and it's important to understand that you know this ain't religion this is web design right we're all on the same team we're all trying to make life better for each other and let's face it this is really really fun right all these devices sure they pose new problems for all of us but there it's also just a big puzzle that's just waiting to be solved and i love that i really do there's currently six billion mobile subscriptions in the world and 2.4 billion people have access to the web this is sort of what it's looking like right we still have a lot of feature phones out there a lot of people without the web but there's this overlap right these are two of two of humanity's greatest achievements hands down and this is the trajectory right more and more mobile devices more and more people with access to the web in years past and generations past we'd be very lucky to just work in one of these but yet here we are right smack dab in the middle of these two amazing technologies trying to figure out how it all works together i can't think of better problems to have than to think of what the web is where it can go who it can reach how it gets used and why it matters so much so thank you there it is there's my dog | The Conference / Media Evolution | UC_xe66-lPOqvdclcQZJeDRA | 2013-08-29 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

bi6YT9iT76E | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi6YT9iT76E | FeelFree Lure Kayak TROLLING MOTOR SET UP! | yo what is up guys welcome back to the channel you probably clicked on this video cuz you got an update on my kayak over here give you that video let's go so let's go ahead and start from the back to the front shout out the googan baits angler tungsten red gills shout out to them that's pretty much all the stuff I use so starting with the back we're gonna start with this tackle bag this is actually a cooler tackle bag right now nothing in it that spot right there useful food and drink and usually some tackle maybe side pockets a couple tackle this part has my pliers fish grippers some tan I got this as well zip tied on to it and it's a three-piece rod holder holds three rods this one over here holds two rods zip tied as well now we'll go to the GoPro holder right here this is actually a PVC pipe mounted on a pill free track system got it by the adapter I think it's like five bucks the GoPro is powered by a little battery pack here and get these out Walmart or any place this is a 9000 amp hour battery so it should charge like seven or eight GoPro batteries which if you keep it plugged in it'll last all day I could also connect it to this box because it has a cigarette lighter ox and a USB on the other side right here that's why I like this box everything I show you in this video I'm gonna try to put a link in the description so you guys can check it out but that's how it's set up there's my GoPro pointing to my kayak I thought I'd give you guys a new view instead of the chesty two rod holders extra which I don't really use now this is the battery it's a semi five amp power Duracell battery deep-cycle the box that it's in is a new port battery box I can link it down below as well it's pretty awesome give you a test button so you can see the battery voltage two left on it this part is connected right here as well it actually leads to the front hatch be right there this is a yak attack forget where that's called but I'll link it down below and that runs all the way to the front hatch where all the power is supplied whenever I put the battery box in I just connect these two things right here to distribute the power the seat got it a little lifted right now I got some tackle underneath it keep my googan money bag down there and a tackle box it's all plastics and a few hard baits that's pretty much all I use now on the other side over here we got our little stern light which the power is connected as well and it leads to the front hatch I'll show you in just a minute how everything is distributed got the kayak paddle leading over here to the side we got our transducer mount for our blue Ranson TI 2 7 that's brand new pick that up and here's a three-in-one transducer let me show you how that works you can get this on Amazon I'll link it down below twist this has a mounting bracket as well so this just pulls up like that and you swing the arm down now I just pretty much tighten everything so it doesn't fall off there you have it there's my transducer mount don't mind my dogs over there they're chasing each other barking this is a yak attack cupholder as well most of the time I put a drink in there or I put my tore up soft plastics in there I can scoop that up and down either way and on the side over here we have our whole anchor trolley system custom pretty much tie cord right here with a little pulley system the back has the exact same thing there's one trolley system also have one from there to the front on the side right here I like to keep my fish gripper easy access and it's actually tied to the cord here so that if I want to take a picture I can lip the fish toss it back in water get my camera set up right there that's where I put my phone so I can take me a little selfie that comes in handy just to keep the fish a lot more keep it kicking breathing so there's that now let's move to the trolling motor this right here as you know I had this ever lower trolling motor a little small 18 pound thrust upgraded to a thirty pound thrust MinnKota this is the only one I found bit in the hill right here so there is that the lawrence TI is mounted with a ram mount and wires go to another yak attack I forgot what that's called troll motor goes through this plug there puts open up the front hatch you got a little seat cushion you can get at Walmart these are pretty comfy just makes you set a little higher on the seat and it's a little more comfortable got a dry storage bag with my rain gear under here we have the terminal that distributes all the negative and positive wires battery goes there and then it distributes to everything else that powers the kayak this is right here is an extra mount for Lawrence just in case I do tournaments and I'm not allowed to use the trolling motor I mount these rants on to here so let's go ahead and show you the trolling motor more in depth about it I'm going to show you the bottom and how we go lift it up and out of the water if you guys can find a bigger trolling motor that has a higher thrust than this let me know let me know what fits and I'm gonna absolutely upgrade so it has 5 speeds one two three four five I recommend a seventy-five amp hour battery or higher if you want to use speech pop it goes three miles per hour at five I believe and if you put it on four it's at about two-and-a-half miles per hour three it's at two miles per hour two la-da-da all the way down one is that a really good slow hmm half to a mile miles per hour really does good on one spot locking on a river that's what I like because if you're going upstream fishing upstream and you put it on one you're pretty much spot lock on that spot it's really nice love the same it's a two propeller I don't think you can go with three although I haven't tried it I'm pretty sure it won't fit I'll leave about an inch from the kayak itself right here it's about an inch and a half just a clearance as you can see from this hole where my cell or was lined up that's gonna stay there I don't honestly care if water gets in here it doesn't affect the or fill it up or anything I mean as far as we know the water goes up to here and there so that's pretty much it make sure to check out my other video on how to install a trolling motor on a feel free kayak it's basically the same step but if this is the first time you're actually doing it this is a lot easier just getting the wires connected is a little harder than putting the trolling motor actually in the sonar pod so what you do here is line up the width or the length I should say of this and try to line it up with the bottom of your sonar pod that's where you're gonna cut the hole make sure it's turn the right way first before you do that so this is the latch on the front side you want your propeller on that side just line it up drill your one and a quarter inch it's either one in a quarter or one in eighth I'll link it down below and I'll let you guys know so then as soon as you do that drill the top part as well line it up really nice you'll have a good fit for the top part take the bolts out make sure the wires are put back the same way whenever you take it apart and also make sure you flip the head of it the other way because when it comes stock it'll be flipped this way with the trolling motor like this that's because it's supposed to be mounted on like the back of a motor boat or the back of a jean boat so we want to flip it around so it's done correctly for our kayak it is pretty simple this is the easiest part of it now for this plug you can get it at any place I got this at the academy I'll try to link it down below as well you can connect that ready goes with red black goes with black pretty simple it doesn't take a genius but here as well I had to put this on here so that it doesn't slide up and down that way I know how much clearance I need for the bottom of the kayak the top one has one two which comes stock with the MinnKota so you can use that piece as well so to put in the trolling motor once you get to the boat ramp and launch a little bit we just slide it right down in there make sure the fins are pointing up and down slide it in make the back part and then lash up the front I'm going to show you how tight this is look at this now that is tight but it fits just like that I did not shorten the shaft like I did with the severed or I find it so much easier with it long like that so that way when I'm actually standing in the kayak I can control it as well standing up I would definitely recommend you not cut the shaft down keeping it long is the way to go alright guys hope you enjoy a brief update of the video make sure to subscribe to the channel if

sxuTYX-iRAY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxuTYX-iRAY | WRAPPING PRESENTS & PARTY FOOD HAUL / Nishi V Vlogmas Day 8 | hello everyone and welcome to vlogmas day 8 [Music] I cannot believe in starting my blog in ASDA but Jess and I are making a late night trip here is nothing p.m. I was flirting with lucky occurs quite honestly I wasn't gonna vlog today because I've just been a bit of a bum at home I feel like I'm coming down with a cold and I've kind of spent the morning sneezing on the safer the afternoon tidying the house then I was like crap we've got people coming around tomorrow night say I'll just pop sure after literally about 45 minutes before it closes to pick up a few last-minute bits okay back on the supermarket I'm just perched you down when I'm packing the bags what I told to you just bear with me okay so today has just been one of those days where I felt like I was coming down with a cold I couldn't really be bothered to do anything and I woke up have breakfast and comments put in the morning just snoozing on the safer I know that whenever I fall asleep on the safe bet it means no coming down with a cold I'm just really bad feeling like I don't have time to be ill at the mainland and I just couldn't really be bothered to pick up the camera and like I just really wasn't feeling and so I thought you know what it's fine I'll skip vlogging today then some of these have turned stram i realy pitts afternoon she was like oh that's blocked II like what's not this day 7 which was obviously yesterday but my vlogs go up at 6:30 p.m. the following day so I was like oh it's not up here tonight and that just made me think all that people actually do care it's not very very liars but actually people do care and they do you want to see like what I'm doing and they they are interested in when clogs saris like oh do you know what now if you're bad about giving people what they want well vlog and then actually just picked up the camera as you saw in after Josh and I had dinner at home and went to after I was picking up a few bits as I've got family coming around tomorrow night not the whole family just a few of the London not and we're gonna kind of do Christmas drinks and / snacks / maybe 9 I don't really know what we're calling it there's no real plan as to what we're doing we're just doing something so that and actually in fact I don't you know went only a time to edit this video because tomorrow is actually a very busy day just going back to Dublin for work on Monday I'm going with him so I've packed this afternoon tomorrow we're getting our tree delivered and hoping it right this time that is slay and that's first thing in the morning then I have an appointment and I've got someone coming to decorate the tree and it's really annoying because obviously they had to be scheduled at the last minute and the anytime they could do is 4 p.m. my parents flight lands at 3:30 and I was gonna go to the airport and pick them up but somebody needs to be at home and ideally that somebody needs to be me so jess is gonna go and pick my parents up from the airport and then I've got family coming round at 5 o'clock so instead of cooking which I'm actually not going to do anymore I just do not have the time for this I've got a brought a ton of can you even see like coke behind me you've got loads of Demeter's left over from Halloween I was gonna make nachos but I didn't have time to fight avocados I couldn't find any white ones and I thought you know what that's too much hassle so I literally I'll show you my ball I'm just gonna have the Doritos with this chili cheese dip that I found in ASDA I have no idea that would be nice or not red pepper and chili hummus one of my arts is vegan so I had to get something that she can eat so making the rest of the stuff has dairy in it and this onion and garlic dip which actually sounds very nice and while I'm there I picked up we only have one packet ease these mozzarella sticks I never really look at the party foods I feel like it would be gross but that sounds quite nice I picked up some garlic staples in fact I also got like pickled onions and pickled beetroot and console to go with the pizzas that way we're not just having pizza and also it requires zero effort on my part which is great so yeah oh my god let me just show you this what is called Jess I just bought this thing on Amazon called a fake TV simulator and it's really cool like from outside it actually looks like the TV's on so whenever we leave the house you know how some people like leave the lights on a timer or stuff like that we sometimes do that as well but this is just another thing to like deter burglars I guess pretty good for this time of year I mean it's you just plug it in we tested it out just now we went to Aston put on the dining table so it's a little bit higher just because our windows are quite high Oh happen there but yeah it's really cool I'll actually link it in the description box if anyone's interested how much was it yes okay so it's really cheap six or seven quid and I think it's just a nice alternative to having like your lights on a timer because I guess if like burglars are watching from the outside they'll know the lights go on every day at the same time and turn off at the same time right yeah yeah so yeah I just thought I'd say this one more thing I wanted to show you was I missed this parcel when I was in Leicester last week and I forgot to go and collect it on a Friday so Jaspan this morning to go and collect it for me and it's from Pixie I have to leave this on a few people's Instagram stories so the minute I see it I do turn it off really quickly because I want to see what's like exactly what's inside the box but there's one thing in here that it's not like beauty makeup skincare related but I'm very very excited for so let me just prop you down and open this up and see what's inside pix you do like some of the best PR packaging I have ever seen honestly it is so cool oh my god look at this this is the pixie Globox I love these boxes that pixie always packaged their PR products in but I just never know where to reuse them I mean sort of thing they're like really weird letter shapes and sizes so I can't even use them as like draw dividers and stuff like that but if you guys have any suggestions or if you get piaf and pixie then please leave me a comment down below and let me know how to like three Easy's because I get so many beautiful boxes sent to me and I just had to end up recycling them there was a time where used to given to mini-me because she loves collecting them but even her parents like to stop giving her boxes because she's got so many she's got like whole I think I gave her too big like black bags full of like Charlotte Tilbury Revlon like all these like fancy boxes and I just don't know what to do with them anymore so here we go look at this it's amazing look this is what I was so excited voices selfie light for your phone but moving on to the makeup which is what we're all here for can I do this oh god I actually can't do this let's see luckily this one with this hand pixie champagne glow oh it's cause it stuck down look at this it's a Pixy glow cake those colors are insane I don't think the Pink's will seat me but how beautiful is that that selfie like I'm just so excited for that I don't know if I can open this one up hot on this is that gilded bear glow this is absolutely stunning I wonder if that's like a bronzer it may be too shimmery though but how gorgeous is this and oh this is just so cool how do I do this so you literally I'm assuming just oh you bet plug it in and everything that's amazing just fill this out and if you can see a kind of za it's a selfie lie I've always wanted one of these and this brand sent me one ages ago but it was made for like an iPhone 5 I think this is like years ago and I had the six at that point or something stupid yeah maybe I love when brands like send something like aside from just the makeup I think that's really cool it's always a really nice touch it is now 10:30 p.m. they put its light on oh and I think just am I gonna wrap some presents because we've got so many presents to wrap and I feel like if we're picking my parents up from the airport tomorrow they're obviously gonna go back to Leicester and again we've got some pretty big presents oh I think I might send a few back with them because I've looked at the box where key for my presence and is huge I don't know how it's gonna fit in my car and I said it's all the time I don't know how we do this in my previous years but I think that's just how we're gonna have to do this year it's a shame because I really wanted to try to sit by the tree wrapping presents and of course the tree never turned up we could watch a Christmas film dress mm-hmm my baby's in the fridge for him earlier so he wasn't drink Bailey's like he does his presence I'm not that big on Bailey's I'm not really fast about drinking and but you listen to Christmas music but watch your film we're gonna watch your film yeah I swear to God only remember to open this bloody advent calendar every other day so let's do this I think I lost a pair not even if you can see hey you can't see this is the next box top right hand corner I have no idea what's inside oh it's a little box this is their eyes - mesmerized long-lasting easy I color oh this is amazing what shade is this one thing I've noticed is Charlotte said we don't ever put their shade names on their outside packaging that's very strange it's in the shade Jean oh that's beautiful it might be a little bit too pale for me but that is a gorgeous shade I was wanted to try these as well I just kind of wish it was more of a bronzey I don't know like cranberry chai this sort of shade would be incredible for Christmas I've just got a feeling this isn't gonna work for me ah but it's lovely nonetheless that was this one I just opened up and this was the day before this was the day before when I was in Leicester just for ease of use I put it in there but I still have all of these drawers to go right before I wrap presents I've got a Christmas playlist on on Spotify at the moment but I've just realised I thought I'd packed for Dublin and I haven't let me show you this is what I've done when I thought I'd packed I've basically taking all of my clothes out and all my skincare as always I mean that's always good to go anyway I just need to put it in the suitcase I think just how's his stuff ready there's a bit of laundry here to put away and yeah let's just do this first I think I've said numerous times I always have a skincare bag packed just because I'm always living out of a suitcase that's pretty easy for me but all I do sort of on the day is just put in my makeup my brushes and my phone charger and I'll sort my hand luggage out at some point tomorrow I'd say yeah let's do this so again perhaps - my hand luggage and I even have my airport clothes out I think that's there's your airport oh yeah he's doing something right now and I to measure my hand luggage okay so wanna wait for drafts I thought I would just talk to you so basically when we go to Dublin we're both flying with wine air but normally just wouldn't go with Ryanair with his work because they don't like them to do that i hate me prefer like Aer Lingus or ba but we're in it for my flights they were so expensive and they were more than double the price with Aer Lingus and ba just wasn't gonna happen and Ryanair doesn't fly from Heathrow it was all very complicated so basically according to Jess he was like because of you I'm lagging on the airline an earlier time but it obviously just made sense that I get into his like uber that his worker paying for with him to the airport obviously and because his work pay for like hand luggage and a check-in bag that's what he's done with Ryanair so we're sharing a suitcase which is obviously fine because it's only for three nights I hate traveling for hand luggage even if it's for like one or two nights anyway because I heard I just have like so much skincare and makeup and how the hell am I gonna get that into the Khalil bag so luckily his worth paying for checking bag we're sharing a suitcase which is actually very light and because like Reiner have recently changed their hand luggage policy so now you can't take any hand luggage basically you can just take a handbag or a small bag that fits under the seat in front of you if you want to take like a little carry-on suitcases up to 10kg you have to pay like 10 pound each way or something like that if you do it in advance if you leave it on the day they'll charge you like 25 pounds because so because his is all paid for with work I'm literally just going as me and my hand bag of my passport and that's it I need to measure on my big Kate Spade handbag that I've bought in Toronto because I would like to travel with that just say that I can have my laptop my laptop charger my like camera camera charger external hard drive a little bit of makeup cuz I'm not going to put makeup on at the our phone power Bank wallet on me just so that when we land I will have nothing to do until like 3:00 p.m. and when we land before 8 o'clock in the morning and I have nothing to do so I can check into the hotel say the only thing I can do is like edit my vlogmas videos I obviously like do touristy stuff and whatever but I reckon opportunity tired and so I would like to take that bag but I need to measure that if not I'll have to like get him to take it in his hand luggage in like maybe a little CD case cuz he's not gonna carry a handbag right it just doesn't make sense and then I will have all the luggage and hopefully they'll let me check into the hotel even though it's in Jesse's name it's all very complicated but I've tried to do this like the cheapest way possible and it's so funny because Ryanair keep emailing you know three times a day to be like do you want to add baggage do you want to pay to change your sees that we're not sitting together cuz I'm not paying that the extra four pounds just so I can sit with him like for an hour like how long is the flight like an hour and 20 minutes it's just no point and you want to add travel insurance do you want car hide you hate I'm like no I do not require any more of your services stop further upsell me so it's really funny and obviously probably wondering like want earth I'm doing was just a handbag but yes that is what's happening on Monday so it's very exciting I have no idea what in Dublin on my own like I haven't been like a tourist anywhere on my own for 13 years when I first moved to Italy so this will be fun and even then I was doing like like I was doing a fashion and makeup internship so I had people on my course I befriended and like this girl I was Pertwee of like to live wave so I wasn't completely on my own this is gonna be strange but I think they'll be fine I've been stubborn before it'll be nice to go back anyway I've been running for ages I just I'm really tired I think we should make a start making presents don't you yeah let's do it it's not my favorite part of Christmas in love wrapping presents very much by the way jammer I told you I had a big book full of Christmas presents and if you like have been following me for ages and if you saw that I was judging the Travel return awards last February I hit me gave me two of these big boxes they don't even fit might be like one box doesn't fit in my baby this is like my hand for reference that's how big the boxes so we have a lot of presents to wrap and I need to hide some of Jesse's ones because like I do theirs in front of him so I'm gonna do them first I mean ask him to help me move this box into living room so that we can start wrapping a few up [Music] you [Music] oh my god it is ten past three in the morning we've just finished watching a film we have some Bailey's and I've wrapped most of the presents but I am done I'm going to bed I will see you tomorrow good night bye | Nishi V | UCYHTJUXXM7N7HckvnrVpUUw |

NfrDSvfsyGc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfrDSvfsyGc | Tales of Citizens #49: Banu Breakdown | welcome one welcome all welcome to another exciting episode of tales of citizens right here on the sound strategy Network I am Bridger with Legacy gaming and joining me also from Legacy gaming is my good friend gray hello gray how are you good evening doing well uh so we have quite a decent show for you today seeing as last week I had a bit of problem with my computer mainly you know the motherboard went out and so I had to get a new one because mine was several years old and they don't really make those anymore anyway both of us are streaming from new machines yes anything can happen anything could happen so we're glad you got a hold the program however you may have found it if you tell a friend or two we'd appreciate it and uh if I didn't introduce myself before I am Bridger and this is Tales of citizens where we talk about Star Citizen we ask the Deep questions we don't want to just give you the news we want to talk about it in a way that brings out the questions that are worth discussing so we always record on the last Sunday of each month to this is an exception of course so if you want to join us 7 P.M in the last Sunday of each month all right so that having been said let's go to our first segment life in the verse where we spend five or so minutes talking about uh what we've been doing recently both in and out of Star Citizen and right now I have to say that what I have been doing is all Zelda all the time oh my God I have I don't think that I think it's between the last show and this one that I decided to go out and get a switch and pick up breath of the wild but holy crap that game is excellent and it's excellent in the way sorry go ahead I that's a pretty common story I'm hearing actually I think it is excellent in the way that I hope Star Citizen will be excellent in which is slightly to mixed metaphors here but in Zelda you could like climb up a little Hill and look in every direction and it's just like it looks like Miles and Miles you could go in every direction and you can just pick some feature there's a castle over there there's there's a dead tree over there there's a hill with the house on the top of it over there there's a big valley with bones in it over there and it is like I'm gonna go in that direction and on your way to the thing that you saw you're gonna have like four different side Adventures that you didn't expect that are pretty much all gonna be awesome and then you're gonna discover things like hey I didn't know that there was a thing over here that does this and now I got a great new sword look at that it's got fire on it so yeah so you can set all the grass on fire around naked you can do that you can set all the grass on fire and then hover above it with your parachute it's pretty awesome anyway so you get like thermals that's a thing yes thermals are a thing oh that's fun because a lot of videos and you can't get to somewhere your job is to set something on fire underneath where you want to go it only gets you up about 20 or 25 feet but the thing is you can get 20 or 25 feet per thing you set on fire no no just with a thermal generally speaking okay of of the type that uh that is there you you there might be very specific ones that'll get you much higher if they're part of puzzle but the thing is you can climb anything the only limit is your stamina which starts the game as basically crap you woke up from a hundred years sleep and you you're not very aerobically inclined is what it comes down to he can run for about five solid seconds and then he's panting uh but finally a hero that most Gamers can say exactly right but every time I saw a mount like a local maximum in a mountain range like I'm like I bet there's something up there and there almost always was which is the best thing or from up there I saw something else that made me want to go and find something else there so that that's what I've been doing uh what have you been up to the last couple weeks um I also built a new pc it looks like we're both on an i7 7700k now yeah that's pretty cool it's a great chip isn't it so far so good although I will say I was not noticing any speed reduction with my third generation i7 so I would not have updated at all if it didn't break and I'm kind of pissed because I was like I could have gone for another four years with that thing I'm guessing uh because the the CPUs just aren't changing that fast I had like a 2600k so I saw a solid gigahertz increase ah I was rocking a 3770 before so it was one generation pastures the the 7700k is a pretty decent chip though um plain Elite dangerous about 144 Hertz all the time on Ultra which is helped by the fact that I actually picked up a 1080 TI um it is the MSI gaming X Edition can't recommend this thing well enough it is stable over 1900 megahertz right that's damn fast for a GPU it is ridiculous I I don't think I've ever gone over more than like 40 or 50 utilization on this thing it's incredible um and then on top of like a whole bunch of noctua fans in this case now which again what is the selling what is the selling point of a knock to a fan they are dead silent ah my computer here is actually considerably quieter than the fan that's running downstairs from me right now these are uh mostly case fans or they have CPU fans as well both uh the case fans are also the CPU fans they have a uh they have a larger CPU Cooler and I have to emphasize this thing is effing huge it's it's big it barely fits in my mid tower case and I had to get low profile Ram or it wouldn't have fit at all thanks so the thing about it is it's an air cooler that can keep this thing as cold as um as an h100 water cooling system and it does it with no noise yeah the bigger the fan the slower it can move while still pushing the same amount of air so the big fans you get can be very quiet I've got four um 140 millimeter fans in here now and then 220 millimeters so real high positive pressure case not a whole lot of dust getting in there um actually I have to give a shout out to valtier he is recommended these things I just want to show this on camera real quick it is a dust filter that is insanely fine these things are pretty cheap on Amazon but you can even clip them to the vents on the outside of your case because they're magnetic pulls on them they're really easy so I've clipped those things over all of the various holes in my case and it is crazy clean in there I used to pull this thing open once a month do little vacuum out check it out I did that this month opened it up and there was nothing in there it was the cleanest I've ever seen this case which I'm pretty impressed by so filter your case too long don't read just filter your case yeah I've got a pretty nice case that has some good filters on it and that was my downfall because I went to clean them out when I put it back in something went horribly wrong um yeah I'm not sure exactly what it was but anyway it was she lived a long good life uh so anyway uh enough about that Hardware yeah gaming front I've been playing some Elite dangerous now this is an interesting month for that game for folks who don't follow it very much patch 2.3 which is the Commanders is their latest big thing um it actually added character creation for the first time which is an impressive feed in and of itself which is okay uh it's not the most customization I've ever seen but it's sort of on par with parts of Guild Wars 2 so far as spatial animation is and that's all they do is spatial animation um the uh big thing though is multi-crew they actually added multi-crew to Elite dangerous very very limited it's not what they initially promised it's not what they initially pitched but you can teleport in Via telepresence from anywhere in the universe to somebody's ship which means there is no risk to you if you're a multi-crew crew member and then you can either take control of turreted weapons which are basically much lower damage um compared to gimbaled or fixed weapons but they do the same kind of damage and they can pivot all the way around as far as they can see or you can fly somebody's Fighters and flying somebody's fighters in a bigger ship is apparently a really popular thing because I've had a few people join up to my ship now and do that trick of it is you don't you don't very much ah you don't make very much money doing multi-group as a crew member yeah I heard there were some problems with their multi-crew implementation oh this is where it gets fun so the real benefit is that b in multi-crew is the pilot the pilot gets lower Insurance costs if there are people on their ship so if you get blown up it costs you less to rebuy yeah this is some good examples there but the other problem is that the pilot gets extra Pips so the way Elite dangerous works is your controls have 12 Pips that are empty and you get a total of six to allocate so for example you could have foreign systems which is like your Shields and two in weapons you can see in that lower right corner if you go back a little bit there you can see the Pips that allocation is is right there there you go down over here yeah so that guy's got two two and two so he's got a little bit of extra engine power a little bit extra system power a little bit extra weapon power so there's a couple of things that are important about that if you have four in systems you get an outright Shield bonus your Shields just take less damage by a lot so you kind of want to have it four in there if you're ever taking damage which means you only have two other Pips to allocate zero weapons will drain and then they'll run out if you have a lot of guns so you get like a it's every other so three only adds a small increase and four is where it gives you a big boost is that the idea yeah it's it's more of a logarithmic scale kind of thing four basically gives you everything three and three and a half gives you nothing gotcha or very close to nothing there's almost no reason to have it's either four or zero is sort of the general consensus if you have less than four the only reason you to have any Pips in is to recharge your Shields there's telepresence porting in there um the problem is that people found out that you can buy multiple accounts in this game and have them sit in seats and do nothing and thereby gaining free Pips to just trick out your ship you could have two free Pips if you had two players on your ship so people who already had multiple accounts to do things like explore 50 000 light years away while they want to be in the bubble so to speak still playing PVP or whatever all they have to do now is log into their Explorer account on the same machine and lower all the graphic settings and make it really crappy and then minimize it and then have that person join their crew so obsidian ant is a big streamer over there and he demonstrated this he took his Explorer guy and he put that Explorer in the seat of his fighter so he just had a free pip and his fighter person did nothing all he had to do was pilot and he had free extra power the game has literally decided that if you're willing to buy two accounts there is no downside you simply win PVP engagements that way damn right because that because if four Pips is the thing where you trigger some special ability then you're going from six to eight that means you now have two special abilities to switch back and forth there's no special abilities for engines and there's no special abilities for weapons but what it means is that you can always have super reinforced Shields at the same time that you have full four Pips To weapons if you have four Pips To weapons you won't run out there's almost no build in the game that will run out of power with four Pips so you can infinitely fire until you run out of ammo or if you don't have ammo until you run out of like life uh that does sound problematic and it's probably worth noting they probably didn't come back real quick there in the video we have them on the screen oh back to the control panel with the there you go so you see that little white pip yeah corner there that is a multi-crew pip so if you had a second person then you would end up with two total you'd have two more so this person you can see they have four in engines so they're going really really fast and they can turn much faster and they have one in system so their Shield will still recharge and then they have two in weapons and two in weapons generally will handle it for a lot of builds that's in terms of like fire rate is that what that generally deals with uh no it's energy to capacitors and cooldowns ah Cooling and such okay well that that is a a very interesting set of reports uh any other final notes any other final thoughts on on what's going on over there is it still something you're enjoying yes it so before I talk about the enjoyment they did show how to not do community events here's a great demonstration on how not to do this okay they recently had a big overall Community event where they had characters from a book by one of their authors come into the game and try to go from point A to point D to advance the plot so this is writlock brimstone entering the the story here that that equivalently yeah except one of the uh or the author himself was controlling this character and if the character died they died wow that is a bad idea that is a really bad idea so a whole bunch of people got together and said well this is a massive storyline advancing plot so let's try to make sure this person survives and thousands of people got together and said let's make it so everybody has to be approved to be nearby if they have weapons if you're not part of our group even if you're a part of any other friendly Community we will kill you because all it takes is one person to get through with some heavy weapons all it takes is one person and if you have guns we will kill you unless you're on our approved list so all of a sudden the event went from the whole Community to you must play by their rules because they had to learn a group which is the only way to keep the person alive to be totally fair yeah so this starts and then their main strategy is frameshift drive interdictors so anybody that they find in any of those systems who has guns and isn't part of them gets interdicted and pulled out of free flight so they get basically slowed down constantly by hundreds and hundreds of people with no guns but a frame shift Drive who will pull them out of the space so they can't interfere with the NPC meanwhile the NPC or the person playing the NPC the character uh slams their ship like into multiple Suns accidentally and damages their ship almost to the point Beyond repair it would have been even worse if he killed himself it was close it was close and he effectively did at some point here because he friended like gave a friend request which shows where you exist in the universe to the most notorious Griefer to ever play the game did he know that's who he was giving it absolutely and mentioned him by name on Twitter at one point he he was trying to get the character killed like I don't want to write for this guy anymore is that that's all we can figure out at this point so he friends this dude who by the way goes by the name Harry Potter that's the best troll name okay who who then manages to catch up with the NPC because the guy's ship is so broken and he's honestly um his escorts can't keep him alive if he didn't name him his ship the Wingardium Leviosa I would be very disappointed in him you know there's actually a little dashboard things that you can have in Elite dangerous and he spells out wizard with them so you can see wizard it's hilarious on YouTube this guy is a prick but he is funny make no mistake he is hilarious so I'm buying this guy this guy catches the guy and kills him so now he has to write into the book that he was killed by this Commander named Harry Potter they chose an old name that the guy was using before he made the Harry Potter because they didn't want to get sued by JK Rowling but yeah so this whole event this whole plot forwarding event was derailed by one person who managed to sneak in and kill this person like weeks of planning the whole book is basically like oh yeah yeah we won't find anything out more anymore um despite the fact that this NPC's three companions made it through like they managed to escort three out of four people which is no small fee in and of itself to their destinations true but because they didn't get the fourth they are not going to advance the plot right now [Laughter] Odd as as far as an in-game event goes you you're giving up a lot of control in that in that environment it was it was so bad all right so anyway so that's still fun to play don't get me wrong yeah but it's a grind so I'm running around currently in the biggest ship in the game it didn't take me too long to get there so that's how not to do community events man it's still gorgeous I I feel like I I need to get a hold of it just so that uh just so I can play around with it and just enjoy the visuals you can be my multi-crew you don't even have to do anything true enough uh it's uh it's on my it's on my list it's on my wish list the next time it's going on sale on steam or something I'm definitely gonna pick it up all right so the other thing that I will point out because by the time the next show rolls around it will be too late is I don't know how if you have looked into this upcoming MMO called ashes of creation I've heard a little bit about it go ahead so freelancer has knows my preferences on MMOs and he doesn't he's another member of Legacy gaming and he doesn't typically try to say hey come play this I mean he kind of he kind of pointed out hey you got to play Black Desert and I was like no Black Desert is definitely not my kind of game and they've been through a couple of others that they've played Final Fantasy 14 and um uh what was that other one arcade and all these other things and he's never really but ashes of creation just hit Kickstarter and he's like you got to do this we gotta revive the whole podcast thing Tales of creation it's gonna happen and I'm like what are you talking about and he's like you got to look into this and I look into it and it's very interesting it is very ambitious it is as ambitious as Star Citizen minus the we're also going to break new ground on building an engine that nobody's ever done before right it's a traditional fantasy MMO setting so they can use a similar engine to like Guild Wars 2 or any of these other ones with large PVP but um a lot of the other things about it are very ambitious and groundbreaking in terms of the mechanics I won't really say much more because it's very clear they have some great videos in their YouTube that shows how their economic system works and their politics system works it's pretty cool so go check it out let's get to Star Citizen um as always just remember if you have any feedback feedback at talesofshow.com is the email address that's feedback at talesofshow.com and teslashow.com is also where you can find the show notes where we talk about all the things so lots of stuff happened between last episode back in late Feb uh March late March in this one here uh specifically um I kind of uh went through a bunch of things and noted a bunch of things but the first thing that popped to mind is that Spectrum has been updated and one of the biggest updates in recent memory because they added uh threading they added specifically sort of uh threading in the same style as Reddit nested threading which I am completely comfortable with uh and I think it it I'm because I use Reddit so much and apparently there was some backlash by about one percent of the vocal community that was like this is awful you've ruined everything forever forums will never be good again and they're the thing is I had a hard time understanding why because the only things I saw in those threads were it was cluttered which okay if you say that that is a criticism of an interface that at least has some aesthetic behind it you can say and from my perspective I don't like it because it's too cluttered and that's a subjective view of somebody's preferences fine okay fair enough but the rest of everything they said had no actual argument behind it it was like this is just for and then insert label of person they don't like here that was like the rest of every argument is this design is clearly for noobs or whatever you know or stupid redditers or something like that and I'm like that doesn't give any constructive feedback as to what's wrong with the format it doesn't help us there there is a lot of hate between the official forums and the Reddit let's be fair about this the people on Reddit think that the forums are a steaming pile of crap and that the people who are on them are toxic and the people who are on the forums think that the people on Reddit are a bunch of elitists who will downvote you into Oblivion so this was this was a defensive identity based reaction of absolutely I don't like this because it means the other side is winning but I have no legitimate reason so I just have to spout vitriol at the people who created it I think so I think that the people who most hate this are the people who already wanted nothing to do with the way that the subreddit works so this idea that you can upvote somebody and that they'll become higher than you in the posts make somebody who's used to being on the first page and used to being an initial post who gets to set the conversation very unhappy right if you say something and then somebody else says something more popular and then they get 10 000 responses all of a sudden you're at the bottom yep I will say there is one thing that I am very critical about with regards to this and that is Reddit does something very important to make this whole comment system work correctly and that is waiting new comments higher than top comments so you can see I just double checked it here it goes in direct highest to lowest order so if I was to post yeah I know you can do that but that's not how most people are gonna you gotta remember it's software people are going to use the default ninety percent of the time so what Reddit does is a new comment will initially for like the first hundred or a thousand or 1500 people that see it is at the top and it gives that comment a chance to get up that's not true though Reddit has Reddit actually has a best setting and best is the default you're right and best is what I'm describing it's it's a a combination of top and newest which guarantees that the newest ones will have a chance to get upvoted and if they don't then they fall to the bottom if they do then they stay near the top and without that if the default is top then why would I bother posting here because I'm going to wind up way down here and nobody's gonna read it and nobody's going to upvote it so it's never going to see a response you have to just piggyback onto the top thread and that's a big problem with this system well and the other thing that the subreddit for Star Citizen has done very well that I don't know if they're doing the Spectrum yet is that they made it so the actual score of posts and comments is hidden for the first like hour that's something Reddit does on a lot of their subreddits it's an option and I definitely agree that's a very good one to do because at that point you can't say that everybody's bandwagoning on one comment in the first hour there actually is a selection about being like hey I like person two's comment better than person one and I can't tell who should be the top one here that does help yep I definitely agree I think the best settings I think the best setting does need to be implemented though in order for this to work properly otherwise I kind of like it it's going to cause it's I would I'm gonna go ahead and say it I think the nested threading without the best setting as the default or even an option is going to be worse than regular forums in a sense the subreddit is using best at least in my experience if you make a post you're not guaranteed to be the top post no so if if you're coming in and you're not the first person to come in the difference between top and best really doesn't matter all that much but if you're somebody who's in there early I agree with you if you're someone who's normally in within the first couple of hours of something posted in yeah the top idea with newest coming in a little bit Blended is actually better for that all right so yes I'm glad to see there's Improvement happening and again let's not lose our heads okay I'm sure there are lots of things planned features are I mean it's called 0.3.3 or something right it's it's not even considered close to 1.0 at the moment and in all honesty I as much as I sympathize with the folks that enjoyed sequential post order I think having a voting system for the comments is actually the better solution in the long term for trying to make discussions happen with the devs if you can't get people to agree and upvote your perspective on some of these things you might have some soul searching to do all right so that having been said spectrum is being worked on cool stuff so the other new tidbit that I did find because here's the thing I know people love I mean a lot of people said they really like the recent around the verses but man there is not a lot of interesting stuff happening unless you really liked process-based stories because I love it I love every bit that's all well and good but process based stories don't make for very good discussion on a podcast necessarily like usually I want to talk about gameplay and features and mechanics and how they might work but um I did find one piece is that that I saw that was very interesting is that they have um finished the sort of pipe system the the back end coding required to make the pipe system work if you recall or if you you didn't know the pipe system is the idea that all the components of your ship are connected together by pipes in quotes uh meaning that for example there are power pipes that go from the power plant in your system to the shield generator and from the power plant to the engines and from the power plant to your controls and from the power plant to the weapons and that those pipes are located in physical places in the ship and when those physical places get damaged there's a chance the pipes could be damaged and that weakens the pipe or destroys the pipe and then your guns don't shoot anymore so it adds a lot more sort of realistic reactions to damage and not just a hey he got hit near the he got he got hit near the back of the ship so we're gonna roll a d10 here and on a one to a three his engine goes down by 10 and on a one and a four to a six like instead of just making it random like that they've added like this whole physical base system so the pipes are for power and they're for cooling and they're for electronics and control and that back end is what's been finished I gotta say that's a lot better than some of the systems you'll see in other games um World of Tanks World of Warships uh Elite dangerous they all have that guy roll system you're talking about does this penetrate the armor okay well let's random number generate this thing and see what happens whether that's a shot itself and say how much penetration does the shot get or anything else that's that's a big deal yeah I mean in the end everything comes down to a random number generator unless it's a completely deterministic thing but it's it's how many levels you go down before you get there that determines how sort of satisfying it is from a from a perspective as a player and I mean the thing that it allows you to do is it has so many possibilities Beyond just damaged engine or heavily damaged engine it's it allows for just the right you know weapon stops functioning or only functions at half or just fires randomly on its own revealing you you know there's all kinds of ways that that damage could manifest and they could utilize that in the pipe system which is great so now that the pipe back engine back end is finished they're going to be resetting the heat system and how heat builds up in the ship and is then needed to move to the heat sinks and dealt with so that is coming in the near future as well that's something that they're working on um and then you know we were thinking maybe right about now in Spring was when 3.0 might come out back a couple of months ago but not so much not so much uh we did get a pretty ridiculous 2017 timeline here sweet Mother of God yeah that's one way to look at it does that say spawn bundles yeah spawn bundles did you folks ever wonder what a jira board looks like for a company that's doing a lot of work and software because this is your answer yeah I uh I hope that the people who don't you know who who scream all the time about lack of progress take a look at this and actually comprehend how much is required to go into just the 3.0 patch despite the fact that they've been working on the 3.0 patch since before they announced it back in what September this is post 3.0 true a lot of this actually is supposed to be true no but yes yes you can see the early stuff pre 3.0 if you like chop that chart in half and look to the left yeah it's if you go right to about here all of this is probably 3.0 stuff very various levels of it maybe a little maybe a little less a little more oh yeah but yeah it's uh it's quite something there's some real real great tidbits hidden down in there the constellation Phoenix the misc variants are finally getting uh looking towards that whole C I saw is going to be worked on through August that's interesting I've got a whole B I have to imagine once they've got the whole C figured out then they're going to be able to reapply a bunch of that to the other Hull variants but the whole C was what they were talking about like as part of like an escort Mission an arena Commander or something uh for new type of game objectives a while ago so a lot of these are going to open up things like that now there are some interesting tidbits in here too if you recall the 890 jump was scheduled for what was it three two or three three hmm right yeah the 890 jump is down near the bottom of the chart I see that it is scheduled for completion near March of next year yeah so if you're interested in when they're targeting those later patches three two three three whatever we're looking at a year now what do you think what do you think the reason is for that it's just that they've decided to make it a lower priority or is there something on there that's dependent on other technology that isn't finished yet if I had to take a wild guess it's because it's effectively An Origin capital ship hmm that does make sense it's it's that the idea it's at least 130 meters yeah that's close to these yes it's meant to carry at least two small ships hmm so if you think about how the thing is going to be used on a technology standpoint the 890 jump though not a pocket carrier and not a major combat ship needs to be capable of launching small ships I would imagine that that is probably what they're thinking of with that long time frame because it'll be the first ship that's not like you know Idris sized that's meant to launch ships that I see on their schedule like you have the the constellation but the constellation it's more of like the ship attaches this is legitimately little Bays little launch Bays for Fighters or not Fighters uh snubs we've got uh a lot of stuff that says item 2.0 this item 2.0 that there's the UI there it's looking really good if you've been watching the around the verse videos of the item system item 2.0 uh I'm I'm really impressed with what they've got there it's certainly more customizable than I would have expected like you can choose how you want to put things down so that you can like decorate your your cockpit or your room or something in particularly the right way so you can like just you know turn this thing you know the statue or this whatever and turn it so it's facing any given Direction it's a really very uh robust system there's a huge one that I wanted to point out here I'm going to try to find it again there's Microtech and Hurston on this list which are two of the Big Planets if you take a look at Hurston they started working on her or they're planning on starting the finishing work on Hurston at the end of August with the intention of having it completed at the end of November in and of itself that's not a big deal but look what's next to it is Microtech as a stretch goal where are we looking here uh it's down near the bottom with the chips oh okay Microtech stretch coal think about that for a second if that's a stretch goal and it's intended to be completed by 214 and hurston's intended to be completed by 11 24. if that's really the case if they're saying that we can expect Microtech is a stretch goal that means that there's a patch that they're trying to finish somewhere in that December to February ah so a 3.1 or something that might add a new Landing zone is that the idea I think it might be and then when or 3.2 perhaps but then when you start looking at things like let's see here the uh where was it back to like the merchant man that's gonna be finished in May supposedly somebody in the chat was asking about the Carrick it's located on the far right here May of next year is the current there's the band merchantment also May of next year so yeah the bigger ships you're right they've they've pushed those out 90 890s in the end of March it sounds like they're aiming for a patch in June yep that's that that would make sense there then you get the Big Ships coming out in that period uh yeah so yeah 3.0 on the horizon for July I think that's a that's a good guess based on what they've said I mean they said mid-july so so it sounds like we should have a 3-0 in July probably a 3-1 by the end of the year where they're going to start introducing a bigger planetary Landing Zone um besides uh Del Mar we're hoping to get Del Mar now let's let's ask this question uh because somebody else posted this on the forums I think after seeing this you know the the path to 3.0 or whatever and they basically pointed out like okay we can get all excited that they're going to be able to fit in all these moons and all these other things but unless they fix the net code and all the bugs with just moving around and trying to get in your ship and not having it explode none of that matters and just thinking to myself well yeah but you know look how big this is those are included in there those things aren't just being ignored so the net code issues they've talked about that container streaming is still planned for 3-2 last I heard okay and that's a big fix for the net code container streaming is the idea that you don't have to know what's in the box until you try to open the box so it lets them ignore sending a lot of data that's not important at the moment and when you start talking about what the box is that could be a ship right but it sounds like uh what is it the cat is dead and the cat is a live situation you just don't know exactly you open it up and it won't even send you that network data until you open it up which is actually good from an anti-cheat perspective too because you don't want teasing from an anti you don't want to be even if it's in like encrypted or something you don't want to even send any of that data that somebody could exploit for a map hack or something like that but there is a trick to this an elite dangerous I have to harp on it again has shown us what that trick is if you have container streaming you have to try to prevent people from seeing it because in Elite dangerous right now the best way to tell if you're in open mode where there's other players and you want to know if somebody's in the place that you're going and you might get attacked is you look at the bandwidth meters can you see how much is being spent and how much is being received and if you spike over about fifteen hundred I think it's 1500 bits per second or something there's some ridiculous number somebody figured out you know there's a player there and knowing that you can adapt your behavior so when you're starting to talk about Star Citizen and the network traffic unless you find ways to prevent people from doing that monitoring actively in game and people may actually find out ways to do it through their router anyway and then stream it back to themselves it'll be very obvious when there's a player hiding inside of something so what you're saying is Maybe Star Citizen should make their net code worse no no no no it's just about if you're streaming in Contents to boxes no I know I know I'm saying you need to spend junk data just to confuse the player no that sounds like not a great idea so anyway uh we are now you put in here that 3.0 is getting scaled back how is it getting scaled back compared to what we expected before so the original plan for 3.0 which was pitched back as early as I would say summer of 2016 included the entirety of the Crusade or the Stanton system um Landing points and crusader Landing points on Hurston Landing points on Del Mar and Landing points on Microtech this is no longer the case for 3-0 they've stated that now we're going to be moving to debugging based on moons they're going to give us the moons around Crusader and give us more Landing points to start that way so they can get a better idea of how their um their system works honestly and at the same time that's more of the procedural generation system rather than uh detailed made worlds kind of a thing well they are actually going to have some detailed made stuff they're going to have bases and space stations and that kind of stuff that they can say how well does this work in all honesty I think them scaling back is the smarter move I'm I'm not happy that they pitched the whole system as 3-0 and then had to come back and say well we're going to spread the planets out just because there will be the detractors who claim it's systematic but I am very happy to see the opportunity to test three absolutely huge bodies let's be clear here the moons and Del Mar are not small that's a lot of territory to cover and a lot of stations and a lot of uh what do you call them a lot of planetary bases that they can have in there to explore and we'll be able to get better Collision results and better ideas of what those bugs could be before they go into a much larger system yeah this is just insane how much has to be done and it just makes me rethink like okay so what's the for release again like okay this whole time 3.0 is we were hoping like back in summer of last year we'd see it in Spring of this year and that would get us towards a beta at the beginning of next year but now I don't know anymore man it just looks like it's perpetual development forever nah it's sounding more and more like Squadron 42 will get released much earlier than the rest of the game yeah um they're going to start releasing the Squadron 42 chapters when they get them done and it's sounding more like those are moving along with some good speed but folks who were saying 2020 for the Pu might be right yeah I I'll eat my words on that it does appear that at this point two thousand and 18 is going to be some of the biggest 3.0 patches maybe maybe 4.0 it's a 3.0 rollouts are very very good with the excuse me with the net code 4.0 for those not following it is multiple star systems at which point basically we're in beta right um I would say that we probably have six months to a year in beta just being realistic here yeah because that has to be minimum that's just I mean if we're talking about beta to launch I mean they want to have a large chunk if not all of the systems they've already talked about like we've had lore makers guides and they've already established these are all human systems uh those are gonna take a long time to finish I don't think they need to put a lot of those in the beta no but if but but what hap how many of them are going to be in a release are all of them going to be in a release well and that's a good question I think part again that goes back to how successful the procedural generation checks are if they come in and they say hey making these stations is really really quick and they're having I mean I know that in the schedule they're not talking about having to make a lot of station and planetary base assets that seems to be something that it seems to be something to me at least that they're talking about a lot in ATV but it seems to be something that's a lot easier with the system that they have now the modular system the component system I think we may have a situation where the harder parts are the big cities that they have to make sure are up to Snuff on Art hmm but yeah it's it's probably going to be something along the lines of I would think 2020 for a full release just to get everything done now because if this yeah 2018 schedule is accurate and we're going to expect 2018 is the year of Big Planets then 2019 would need to be the year of big planets and multiple systems yeah and to be honest you know I haven't actually looked at the star map in a while but I think that the number of human systems in it is around 20 or 25 if I recall uh something like that um now not all those systems need to be fully explorable Landing zones no exactly that's true because some of them are just fly through systems they don't even necessarily have a habitable planet if I recall correctly now a lot of them just have stations and having a lot of stations is going to be a relatively quicker thing for them to put together as Shadows fear noted over in our twitch chat you know one Squadron 42 is more done a lot of employees from the UK can shift to scsc assets which is true and I think in a lot of cases they already have switched to you know assets for the Pu so you can see here actually if we just filter out all of the unclaimed all of the developing the alien systems we are left with about one two three four five six seven eight yeah about maybe 20-ish systems and they probably don't need all of these they could just use the core ones and say you know access to these other ones is denied until further something something you need to become a citizen 2.0 I don't know they could come up with some reason to make them not B that I don't know it's going to be difficult to have all of this done by 2020 not to mention the lost you know vanduel systems the Banu systems the developing systems yeah it's very possible that they could have a lot of planets that get made that they just procedurally generate a ton once they get things rolling yeah I mean most of the action takes place in space so you really you know you're you're not wrong there and most moons aren't habitable most moons won't have settlements you'll have limited satellites or um what do you call it satellites or uh little outposts that are scientific or Pirates or whatever else that you can just plop down on the ground yeah the majority of what they're doing the majority of what they need to do to have good assets are actually kind of on par with what you see in Elite dangerous yeah but I mean that's that's part of my concern because one of the things that's important about any game with exploration and you know what yeah the reason I was bringing up breath of the wild and kind of comparing to what I wanted for Star Citizen is there has to be stuff to find and you're not going to be able to procedurally generate everything worth finding because if it's if you do then it's obvious that everything's procedurally generated the the things that are specifically put somewhere to tell a little mini story like that thing with the sand worm that we saw a gajillion years ago that was crafted that's not going to procedurally generate a crash ship with a little quest line somebody has to do that and if you're going to put that over a bunch of moons and stuff but the thing is you can procedurally generate a lot of that information you can say I want this planet or this moon or this system to have a procedurally generated crash crashed ship with this random set of resources and these sorts of breadcrumbs and you could do that you could actually very easily say that you'll have breadcrumbs that are X number of kilometers two x number of kilometers away sure but which are just described if you procedurally generate that I'm saying every time you get to one of those it's gonna feel like oh yeah this is one of the three variants that I've seen twenty thousand times before and absolutely and that's that's you know that that crushes your your enjoyment of the exploration it no longer is a what's going to be around the next corner and instead it's a ah it's one of these again like you once you know what to expect exploration is no longer fun in some senses you're just doing it for the reward at that point honestly a lot of exploration will be just for the reward I think that they are going to make a lot of systems that are if you want exploration as a what do you call it as a profession if you want exploration to be something you can do to make money yeah then there does need to be repetition I just feel like having somebody putting the human touch on those kind of things so that every fifth one or every fourth one has something unique and special and interesting about it something you never saw before like what you find on an ice Planet you'll find the crazy monster that looks like the one that attacked Luke on Hoth right I just I feel like well if you find that everywhere it loses its its its specialty but anyway we're but we've been down this route before if you want to say well the the worm is a really cool thing or the ice monster is really cool thing then make a couple say that this this worm is native to this planet and this planet will give you extra rewards because of that or whatever else your artists still have to be working on something sure and there are going to be character and creature artists that are like hey let's make this thing that if you go to these kinds of planets in these systems you'll have this kind of Critter that could show up and it wouldn't always it could be very rare it could be a one percent chance to run into one of these things and people would eat it up yeah no you're not saying oh look I found a worm on this planet and everybody before showing up to that freaking planet hoping they'd find that worm the the trick with emergent content is that a lot of it does have to be player interest because no matter what they do I mean even games like Skyrim are very very player interest oriented with a lot of repetitive content and you're talking about a situation where you know you might say okay I'm going to try to go explore this area I found this this Beacon I found these alerts it may very well be that people find that Beacon and say I'm going to try to kill anybody who shows up here yes that's true I mean the emergent gameplay of uh I'm gonna I'm gonna turn on a beacon that I found and save it until somebody comes and then turn it into a PVP experience for piracy reasons or even more so say that a bunch of these exploration sites that they're trying to generate for some of these planets or moons are very very profitable and have a huge amount of cargo that you could pick up and the only way you're going to be able to do it is either by shuttling small loads to a big ship or having a big ship parked there if that's the case and it's really hard to find this stuff without following the breadcrumbs which I think should be the case in a lot of these things and it's big money some Pirates are going to be like hey guess what we know a big ship's coming in here we know somebody's going to come in here and try to pick all this cargo up there is a huge amount of emergent gameplay involved with otherwise semi-repetitive tasks and when you start looking at uh let's let's go back to Elite dangerous here again because they're sort of the procedural shallow game that we can follow really easily as an example on this when you find something that makes a lot of money like there's weekly Community goals where you can make tens of millions of credits just by participating people show up to kill and people show up to Pirate great example there's a whole star system where people were shuttling from one star system next door to the other one jump in these big heavy cargo ships so what happened the Pirates showed up and they started pulling people over and saying I have 10 10 tons of cargo space and you're gonna give it to me or you're gonna die and people did yeah and it was great I mean watching this is amazing there are actually Pirates there are actually people who are dealing with the Pirates and considering a part of doing business out there and the Pirates are going after the quote-unquote murder hobos because they want to continue to make money off the community goal because they go to take that 10 tons of cargo they just pirated and they go ship them into the station and they make money off of it yeah so it's it's a pretty cool thing here's the thing so Shadow spear in the twitch chat said I bet upon release stuff uh to find will be low but six months later it will start compounding and there will be more than you can keep up with I can't agree with that because even if you can do procedural generation of planets you're not going to be able to procedurally generate satisfying content and it always always the vein of MMOs is that content takes much longer to create than it does to consume that's why every MMO that followed the World of Warcraft formula that formula is designed to force you to replay the same content for three months uh it giving them enough time to put out another raid or dungeon or what have you right it's uh you can finish this in 10 to 12 hours so we're gonna make you replay it you know 20 times before uh the next piece of dungeon content comes out right so that's the main problem is figuring out how to speed up the process of making interesting and satisfying content whether that be yes um uh exploration content or a challenging pirate base that has some kind of internal place you have to fight your way into and and get all the way to the top into the bridge of the space station and beat the pirate king or whatever that's their own you know their own version of like PVE content uh that those kind of things that tell a really cool story that are not just created as part of a mission thing with randomly spawning guys specifically for you to fight yeah those take a long time to put together because coding takes a long time and we don't have the tools to make games that fast yet but at the same time let's let's take a really close look at one of the best systems that has ever existed to make tailored content the star craft map editor hmm they have the equivalent of that with this procedural generation tool we saw that back at citizencon yeah they showed us building a base out on like a little uh Lake uh in the course of maybe 10 or 15 minutes because they had all the pre-made pieces right they had already the the dock they had the antenna thing over here they had this over there so which they modified the size on they went outside the assets a little bit oh in 10 minutes so if you start talking about what you want to do to have handmade content what you need to do is take someone who's really good at telling a story and sit them down and say on this planet we need a couple of things go find the location and do something with it and in a day of time I think you could have a good Storyteller sit down and say I'm going to have 10 NPCs that sort of Mill around this area and they occasionally fly a ship back and forth to this base and they take this cargo there and they take this cargo back or whatever else or they just stand around running mining consoles or whatever it happens to be there's all sorts of things they could do with that kind of an Editor to make human generated content that's not just randomly procedural stuff to accent and I think you're right they do need to have that accent they can't just have every planet be the same right or even even every sixth planet be the same it's just it's it's gonna be problematic but that's all for exploration stuff obviously there's a lot of things where they can rely on EVE Online style emergent gameplay and what you were talking about with regards to uh to to um Elite dangerous with you have emergent gameplay where players are challenging each other in these various ways that obviously helps take some of the burden off of the creators if they've designed the system properly so that all that emergent gameplay is satisfying and interesting and not not perfectly expected if you've designed it poorly then you get a system where everybody knows the optimal way to do this and so everybody does that and nobody does the other thing that's supposed to counteract it like if if uh if piracy just doesn't make sense because you can't make enough money at it because the cops are too strong or however you balance it is just bad then nobody's gonna pirate and then the whole system gets boring you have to find just the right I tweak to where there's like 10 percent of the community are pirates and they can they can cause the emergent gameplay to to arrive essentially for everybody else keep in mind it doesn't have to be profitable it just has to be fun true people true people in Elite don't make crap for money compared to Traders if you go pirate in those systems you're doing it because you enjoy it not because you want to make a ton of cash and that has to factor into it you're absolutely right so about 10 tons of cargo that I could drop for somebody is peanuts compared to the 780 tons that I'm hauling like in the time it takes them to Pirate me they could have made literally 78 times the money but you know what they don't because they enjoy it they find the piracy experience something they like and as long as people enjoy the content because the tools are there properly I don't think there will be a big problem with the imbalance that's absolutely part of the reason people do things you'll have the Harry Potters of Star Citizen who just want to be Infamous yep and you know what they're gonna get it they're gonna get what they want and they're going to be shut down sometimes and that's going to be the community will have their hooray moment and then they'll come back and they'll be a new name uh it'll be Harry Potter junior or Jerry Potter or whatever uh you know they're exactly it all right anyway uh we've gone down a rabbit hole we never meant I never put any of this in the show notes but I did want to talk a bit about the Banu because they've been focusing on the Banu for uh one hole around the verse this week specifically talking about the Banu Defender so I wanted to go over a little bit sort of what we know about the Banu uh sort of as a recap for new people who have not been fully following uh the the story of the Banu and who they are and and uh and what they do first of all I guess it's important to point out this is a Banu this is their new sort of concept art what they look like we've seen kind of things like this before but they've just recently shown some of these new ones and how they made them in this whole segment here so the first thing to know about the Banu is the Banu is the first race that humans ever found in the Star Citizen War uh in I think it was 24 or something right 24 38 so about 500 years before the time of the game taking place current year in the game which is 29 47 now at this point I think yeah I think so it's roughly sticking with they started the kickstarter in 20 in 2012 and so it was 29.42 at the time so it's just been scaling one year in game time in game Universe for every year that we've had through development so we're in 2947 uh so anyway so around 20 about 500 years before uh some guy was searching for a jump Point saw a ship assumed it was somebody else searching for the same jump point so he was going to kill them so that he would get the money and it turns out he was firing an alien ship when he found out he told the the cops and he was like uh I found an alien ship and I may have pissed them off like real for real aliens and they came and had first Contact and it turns out after that that that guy was actually act like a runaway criminal from the Banu like he pissed off one of the guilds and did something illegal and they were chasing him and that's why he showed up in a human system randomly so that's kind of interesting how they all met but anyway the Banu overall they're a decentralized trading empire of kind of like city-states like City Planet States I guess uh they don't have the same kind of central government that the humans do in this universe they have a sort of kind of great con Council that they are able kind of like uh the equivalent of the UN right the big Council that they have of all the Banu together doesn't have a huge amount of sovereignty over any individual Planet but they'll kind of come together and agree to do specific things but the planets maintain their sort of their own sovereignty so they're sort of trading uh families or Empires come from you know they're all competing which kind of drives the them all to do better than the other and that competition means fighting sometimes too it's not like they're all Traders and they never fight they do that things get ugly uh throughout the time now the other thing that's interesting about this faction is that they uh are very specialized when you decide you're going to be a soldier you're a soldier for life that's all you do when you decide you're going to be a pilot you're a pilot for life that's all you do when you decide you're going to be a negotiator you're a negotiator for life that's all you do you specialize in that one thing and you get really good at it and that means because their society is stratified this way uh it means that that's kind of how they work they have huge hugely split divisions of labor they don't have Jacks of all trades as a general rule and the other piece of this is that they are very materialistic they see personal wealth that's visible when people come into your your home or your ship as something that is a representation of how important you are or what rank you are so when you look at the Banu culture and their ships they'll have this ostentatious display because they all know that that's how you know how important someone is when you see how successful they are so if you take like you know human-based capitalism and apply that sort of high level idea across an entire race that kind of drives them to to be better which is very interesting so they're very materialistic they're very utilitarian they don't care much about history all they care about is how it affects the present they're focused very much in the present so they will remember you know that they have the Banu merchantment design they don't care who made it they don't care uh that they should be paying licenses or royalties to anybody that doesn't matter which kind of reminds me of the way that that China's engineering uh concept works because there is no invention inventor of the hoverboard have you heard this story I don't know if it's apocryphal or not but the idea is that the hoverboard meaning that thing that kids stand on and it's got two wheels kind of like a skateboard except it goes straight for some reason and they bounce like a two-wheeled Segway that thing does not have an inventor because that is the result of Chinese manufacturers like just pulling components off of their shelves that they had when they had assembling other things and like putting something together like maybe uh putting it on the back of a napkin and like drawing a basic design and then sharing it with their other friends who work in other factories and they all kind of come together to talk about Oh I thought about an idea that might help your design and like seven or eight different factories just started producing things with almost the same design all at the same time because they don't have the same concept of I designed it I deserve the credit that's just not how their culture works at least not the culture and those manufacturing things that's what I understand from a podcast that I heard at least um so it's a really interesting story and that kind of reminded me of how the Banu were described where they don't really care who who designed this thing that's not an important fact to them the important fact is that they have the design and they'll try to improve it and they'll try to utilize it right they care about the present so that is kind of the brief overview of the last thing here shorter life spans than us by a bit which differentiates them pretty significantly from the Xi'an the Xi'an as they have much longer life spans than humans I'm talking two to three centuries if I remember correctly and so they actually is it more is it four centuries because I know they were around they're still uh Xi'an alive today that remember the Imperial Messer era where we had like essentially an evil emperor on the throne that was not not very good to alien races that's when we had the tavaran war and we basically genocided them and they genocide themselves it was the whole thing if you want to see more about the the lore of Star Citizen by the way there's some really cool stories in there and you can check it out on my channel by looking for um the lore of star citizens the three-part series that I put together that I think came out really well and each one's about 15 minutes and I just discussed the sort of history from uh you know present day all to 29 42 essentially so that's that's the breakdown great did I miss anything that about sums them up I mean it's we should go into that specialization again it's so intense that when we start talking about the defender here which is the ship that they're concepting out the Banu believed that you should have two seats because the pilot should know how to do nothing but pilot like just being a gunner on a spaceship and you can see the two you can see the two cockpits right there let me pull that back up here you can see there's one cockpit here and one cockpit there and one person essentially handles the weapons and the default is actually a good division of labor and it's something that I've always considered so they they have a gunner who's not in a turret that Gunner controls the gimbal forward-facing weapons and by default I think it comes with three uh size two gimbaled weapons pointing out front if I remember correctly maybe it's four size twos it's um okay it's four size twos yeah there you can see it on the end and in the middle and so that person is going to be using like a mouse to control the gimbals and aim really well while the other person's probably using a joystick to pull off really good Maneuvers in like a six axis way so I love the concept of that division of labor but the question of course is how efficient is that division of labor would it be better to have two players in a bando defender or two Hornets or two insert whatever Single Seed fighter you it's the same question as the Super Hornet it's the same deal and we just don't have an answer I think more than likely Pilots will want to have the guns because you can you can better keep your guns on target as a pilot knowing exactly what you're going for yeah if you ever played like 1940 like Battlefield 1942 and the turret moved and it moved your your machine gunner guy on the top and it didn't have any way to stabilize it so the turret would keep shooting at whatever it's shooting and the guy on the gun is like I can't aim anything because it's just turning uh so yeah they fixed that in later battlefields but um that could definitely be a problem the defender I'm expecting we'll see a few people get really good at using the defender the way that it's intended but I think you're right I think a lot of people aren't going to use it that way well and the big advantage of the defender to be blunt is not necessarily going to be the second seat it's going to be the fact that if you're on a long run the components that you need to fix to keep the ship running after combat are on the inside at the outside so if you take some damage you have all the internal panels to do the fixes on so for folks that are really really interested in having a ship that looks kind of fun they plan to take some damage but still survive the the defender may actually be a reasonable ship because you can get out of your seat go to one of the internal panels fix up your engine everything's fine and then off you go it's certainly a very interesting design though I have heard people Express concern that when it's in its flight mode those giant Wing things yeah just in the way someone did a really really great video uh where they actually took the model and they made the window transparent and they sat a pilot camera inside of there and then showed what it would look like and the answer is you can't see crap as a combat ship with its current configuration it is effectively worthless you don't have any field of view you can only see through that tiny gap between the Middle two things so the good news is that in Jump Point Chris Roberts had already expressed that he feels those wings are in the wrong place yeah and they need to be moved downward or they need to be moved in such a way that you can actually see everything in front right they can be moved downward or back or they could turn into like an open V or something there's a lot of things you can do it needs to be out of that 180 degree exact line in front of you and I think downward's gonna be the only way to do that that seems especially because you know one of the things they want to encourage is uh the sort of feeling of World War II fighting and in that concept part of that is hey when you pull up you can pull up and make sharper turns than when you push down and in part that's because of the way g-forces affect the body but hey the other part is that in a lot of ships you can see better out the top of your canopy than you can out the floor the exceptions to that are things like the constellation and the RSI ships that have that floor made of glass and the Xi'an yep and uh so if you put these things sort of as obstructions to seeing down that continues to fulfill that role of hey you're going to be pulling up anyway so we can tuck these things under here and that's where the guns go uh so that shouldn't be as big of a problem so it's it's a it's a cool ship I don't think it's my ship I think I'd prefer the misc Reliant over this I just for if I was going to pick a cool alien ship that I want out of all the three that we have so far like the the car to all um the misc Reliant and and I mean you're right it's not alien it's just influenced by alien technology it's um it's more that the the engines are alien yeah the whole interior of the things very human hey wait a minute was that was that a companion cube in there is that a companion cube in the back corner and maybe not a companion cube but a utilization Cube like it doesn't have the hearts on it so it can't be a companion cue but somebody snuck it in there oh that's clever I like it for those of you playing the home game and you're not watching the video it's at 25 39 on the around the verse about the Banu defender on the Star Citizen uh uh channel so anyway that's that's the brand new Defender uh any any final thoughts on on this or the Banu in general no no I'm glad to see him flushing that out a little bit differentiating it it's uh oh the Banu thing by the way I love about the characters the hearing they were commenting the things can't hear if you see the concept they don't have ears at least not really pronounced ones ah and they mentioned in the lore that the things basically yell all the time humans humans should bring earplugs because they will be yelling all the time it's gonna be so freaking funny depending I don't know how long it'll be funny but it might be citizens citizens is exactly what I was thinking so the other thing is we have gone over one of the in-universe stories uh about the Banu and it was called a human perspective it sort of revealed but the part of the Banu culture and a little bit more about what they're like uh and it turns out it's all possibly apocryphal because it's supposed to be there it actually is in the Banu lore thing that they put on the website that the uh the a human perspective story is in Universe in Universe fiction yes so it was actually a fictional story within the context of the universe uh which means we don't know how much to trust it which is pretty funny uh it's maybe it's a super racist Viewpoint and like the band you won't really like that at all I don't know space racist space racism yep if it's in space it's not really racism going back to your uh your roots there with what that whatever that game was the Stellaris or what was the one you could have really xenophobic oh yeah Stellaris can definitely let you have xenophobic you know just complete purifiers like we are the only ones like now they just added hive mind actually so you can have a hive mind purifying race which brings back thoughts of Peter F Hamilton's uh series uh the Commonwealth Series where they meet a hive mind race that's literally just come to that that evolved in a system where all the other Hive mines it was competing with were convinced that they were the best the most Superior form of life and so it takes sort of the Eugenics concept to its logical conclusion like if I can destroy this other life obviously it didn't deserve to live and that becomes the big bad in those books and it's a really interesting bad guy because it's like well that's not the worst Starcraft yeah kind of it's not the worst it's it's not the most indefensible perspective um obviously from our point of view getting attacked and invaded it definitely is but I mean if if you're a completely alien being that's something you could definitely understand I guess to some extent as as being different and not being able to judge it the same all right so the concern of the week a segment is upon us this is the moment where we take pluck one of the very very many dozen concerned threads about people saying I am very upset that the very first version of this very new system it does not meet my exact specifications and then we point out how they are wrong or on the other hand we point out concern threads that are perfectly legitimate and worth talking about and that is what we're doing this week because I'm sure many of you if you're paying attention to the Reddit I don't know if it hit the main forums because I don't go there because it's a highway okay but there was a big kerfuffle around the referral program and uh that is essentially if you've been living under a rock or not watching the around the verse things recently they announced a big contest where it's like in the next couple of months if you can refer the most new Star Citizen members then we'll give you a Hello Kitty oh I'm sorry space kitty or whatever it's called Uh special version of this special thing with in-game rewards and there was a big Kickback to them making a push for referrals and like signing up new players because the game has a very crappy new player experience uh and gotta hand it to him there was a very good response from cig in the last week about this did you read this from uh Ben oh yeah and there was a concern that was invalid but also at the same time not about them promoting streamers who had already been very actively recruiting um I think a lot of folks were pissed off because from their perspective cig was already promoting the referral codes of people who had done Mass referral through their shows I mean here on Tales of citizens we have not been promo code pedaling I don't even know what my referral code is there are folks who in their streams very actively peddled their referral codes it's one of their main things it's sitting on their bottom bar or whatever it is and they have thousands of referrals they've gotten a lot of free stuff from that from folks who don't have that kind of platform or choose not to use it that way there was a little bit of anger I think about the fact that cig was like look at these people they got thousands of referrals let's get them some more and reward them more for it versus the camp that wanted to see more rewards for people in the zero to 100 people range the better way to set this up because they already had the referral codes and those people had already gotten a lot of rewards If instead they said listen everybody's gonna get something if you refer one person and we're going to put a pretty cool prize on one person and if you refer five people hey that's the bonus prize boom done that you don't have to go too much higher than that you don't have to be crazy about it but you still have the problem of the game not being ready for people who are looking for a full real experience yet there's also another part of this concern that I was reading that is relatively valid and that's people who referred somebody prior to the code system or someone who didn't use the code and has no other referral cannot be included on somebody's account you can't say hey I was referred by so and so which I get from a customer service perspective is very difficult to do because you'd have to have a way to go and manually modify the database and say this person referred this person's account and this account was referred by so-and-so and then you'd have to you know have the rewards kick in appropriately but when they start talking about rewarding people for referrals and a lot of people refer to all of their family and friends very early on into it I could see being a little bent out of shape being like hey I referred 20 people and I get credit for zero yeah so it is worth pointing out that um there have been some very interesting comparisons of the new Xi'an and I'll just just you know to lighten the mood here you go there's one the new Xi'an is like the cave troll from Lord of the Rings that's good uh but what I've been actually looking for is uh the response from Ben uh which I thought was in the last week or so uh but specifically they say he said hey uh we completely get it we've been a little bit too uh surrounded by people who understand that Star Citizen is a process and there are people that will understand that if the game is is not you know fully up to your specs that they're okay with it and if we start trying to reach out to people outside of that bubble they're going to have a very bad first experience with the current game and we have gone to the extent of putting more of an emphasis on our new player experience we're going to specifically start building that out now which I've been arguing with people on the internet which is as you do uh I've been arguing that that is a very good thing because one of the reasons that tutorials across the board on almost every game suck is because they do them dead last which is way easier to do because that means all features are in and you can properly do everything you need to do but it also means that you're going to put it in last and you're not going to hold up the the the the the the launch of the game to make the tutorial better it's going to be good enough and then shipped right so for the most part that's the case if they start now and build the idea of the tutorial and slowly work on it as things come in then they can create a much better system now ideally that tutorial was going to be Squadron 42 right well partially it was also going to be the um the arena Commander tutorial they wanted there to be a consequence free zone tutorial which does mean Marina Commander true um the problem is that the initial one that they made with the take off and the directions to kill some FanDuel and fly around and that kind of thing was a bug ridden mess and a lot of the mechanics that they were trying to teach didn't necessarily translate well they do need to make a tutorial that's as simple as hey in Arena Commander learn how to take off and land learn how to stop because not everybody's going to even have Squadron 42 at this point because they split them up now learn how to blow something up there there needs to be a tutorial there needs to be a new player experience that isn't Squadron 42 and they acknowledge that very early on in the process that was two years ago at this point yeah I mean they turned off the uh the tutorial that they had built because it was a mess so yeah I I don't think they've they they gave up working on that because they had to get more core systems in place and I totally understand why tutorials get done last because if you build it now and then there's changes to the core systems uh it might not even require you to redo core tutorial features because maybe not maybe they still all are applicable but it means you have to go and remake you know recompile that code with the newest version so that it doesn't have any crazy bugs in it because they're different you know versions from when you know oh we change the way that this function works when it's called and the tutorial wasn't taking that into account because it was made 12 months ago well that's a problem so I certainly appreciate the problem of having yet another set of things that you have to constantly update with every new back-end feature uh and Improvement the good news is that they've got to be getting close to finishing that back end right and at the same time they can do some tutorial stuff now that's relatively how do I want to put this timeless take off and land request landing those sorts of things basic combat how to select something or anything else that's a big thing they need to make it so that exists and it's not super punishing to figure it out in the tutorial itself I think part of the problem with the tutorial that they had initially was it was very well done as like a storyline driven thing with you've really got into the tutorial you wanted to kill those vanduel that showed up out of nowhere but it was very very poorly done from a flow angle because all of a sudden the vanduel would be shooting you and you'd be like well I can't even select a Target what do I do yeah or I have to follow this person but I don't know how to select them to know where they're at there's there are things that you should give people time to figure out and once they figured it out then you can work from there yep yep so anyway it's glad to see that they oh here I finally found Ben's answer I'll post the link in the in the notes uh and in the chat here for you guys if you'd like there it is uh and he basically says I wanted to stop in and talk about the referral program and the feedback that you gave us is 100 correct we often forget that the citizens who make up the community are Hardy Bunch who have been through the fire of game development the same way we have so we are on it as you've already heard we're moving forward we're moving around some resources to support a new player initiative this will take the form of additional video tutorials and beginner content to help people who haven't been following us for so long in the verse which is great that's exactly what we want to hear that's good responsive development uh I approve I approve this message one thumb up two thumbs up yeah well no one thumb up two thumbs up would have been if they'd done in the first place they get one thumb up for fixing okay two thumbs up once is before it's even in beta I'm okay with that as long as it's good okay okay so yeah what was the year on that first star Squadron 42 video by the way was that 2016 the first Squadron 40. that one with uh the speech uh didn't it say 2016 on it yeah I think so it's been a while since then do you think it's gonna come out in 2017 instead s42 yeah I don't know or at least like the first uh couple chapters or something like that I think we could see a chapter in 2017. I really do I think that it's a difficult thing with the 20 16 I think it would have been a push I think 2017 is realistic for a first chapter all right well as the screaming child behind you has uh has informed us it has now been an hour and a half since we started so it's probably time to call this one thank you guys for watching I am Bridger you've been watching Tales of citizens and we are here again every final Sunday of every month at 7 pm eastern daylight time as of right now uh it is uh you know it's it's it's just it's a good time we like to have you guys in the chat I like to get the feet the feedback there so that we hear some uh some countering opinion sometimes we don't actually see every single point of view and it's like nice to hear other people chime in um because sometimes they point out things that will change our minds and sometimes they point out things that are worth discussing so thank you guys for joining us in the chat really appreciate it and this is Bridger from Tales of citizens for gray and screaming child signing off foreign [Music] man I still like that music yeah it is great I I love that it's on the launcher again yeah that's it's a good day I did I I didn't really have a time to put this but somebody did take a screenshot to prove how much ridiculous detail I think are those 3D rendered eyelashes it it looks like it I don't think it's actually 3D rendered I think it's the face texture is meant to look 3D gotcha um the trick is the texture itself on the face is pretty much flat over most of it with you know some skeletal skeletal modeling but when you get in that close it can let the texture sort of layer over a bit it's interesting the technology but I mean just looking at the eye with the blood vessels and stuff that's an incredible amount of detail so there uh what is it the the there's a word for um when you lower the resolution of Tetris further away you get why am I forgetting uh chat chat do you remember what I'm talking about uh but I mean that means just look at the detail they start with so that when you do get close to something you see this amazing detail they do the same thing with their ships and I I just I can't I'm wondering how often I'll really be able to appreciate that when I'm flying around like in Arena Commander you're like flashing past somebody at 200 meters per second and it's like oh did you appreciate the crazy detail on that Vandal craft nope didn't really couldn't see it for more than about a quarter second or I'm shooting at a thing that's basically a tiny spot on my screen because it's a thousand meters away people refer to this like LOD LOD that's what I was thinking of yes level of detail uh changes over time um over distance rather all right so anyway I thought that was kind of cool I I mean people post those all the time the oh my God look at the level of detail when you zoom in here uh but that one was particularly interesting I hadn't seen that one in a long time do you want to know what the top post on the entirety of the Star Citizen Reddit is fire away hi our start assistant it's our citizen I am a new bot for the summer subreddit I need some delicious link Karma before I can start working 10 000 upvotes uh but the real first one is uh the procedural planetary Landing gameplay uh oh yeah where they flew from or some this is like the first time you see it fly from I think Port olusar all the way down to uh to the planet yeah that was a great video that was uh last August yep let me pull it up here is this their official one oh no for whatever reason Star Citizen Espana the channel the YouTube channel managed to get access to it before anybody else did and so that's what got posted and upvoted on Reddit oh this is another one here this is the uh oh my poor graphics card because he's looking up at this sign and hey the sign in the rest of the city is reflected in his eye but it's not Dynamic no no you couldn't see other players oh oh it's just reflecting the environment I see what you're saying yeah yeah and the environment is static in those images so or semi-static in those images we just save some some stuff but take a look at the other if you go to hot on the Reddit right now the top thing right now is Mark Hamill's old man's Clips mocked up in the Gladius yeah I saw that that looks really cool man old man so freaking cool yeah because it it appears it goes off again like what happened at this thing I'm pulling in it it feels so right to have it down in a monitor it's like what they did with the freelancer during the last demo with the the traffic control dude yeah instead of just being a weird thing in your in your in your top right there so that's that is definitely cool it gives you a taste just a taste of what it might be like um all right so anyway yeah ashes of creation looks really interesting I just watched two the the thing that will sell the game for you or not is they've got two videos on the ashes of creation YouTube channel that explain their node system um and that I think is what will uh will will make you decide if you want if you're if you're interested in this game or not I mean the kickstarter video does a good job of kind of going over it too but it's a slightly deeper dive like one is like seven minutes the other one's ten minutes um so I highly recommend checking them out just so you can see if this is something for you because the kickstarter is ending in like 20ish days you know what I haven't checked it in a while it had a lot of attention right away it got like over a million really fast it's at 1.45 million right now with 25 days to go got a lot of attention that's the kickstarter there right so the the long like the elevator pitch is that they they want the players to be invested geographically in the things that they are so essentially the the lore of this is your species your Society like left this planet because of some horrible devastated catastrophe through these portals to another plane and like hundreds of years later those portals are opening again because the stars are aligned or something and it's so the portal is available and you're so the ancestors of the people that left are coming back to this ruined like not ruined but just World recaptured by Nature right there's no there wasn't any humans because they all left from the or intelligent races whatever you want to call it um and so you're all entering in these Gates and the whole world is divided up into these nodes and anything that gives you XP in any of these nodes will contribute to the node itself leveling up over time so a little spot on a river once enough people cut down some wood or craft some things or kill some animals there we'll turn into a tiny little campfire with a few tents set up around it and then if enough people do thing and then there's some NPCs there with some stuff and then if enough people continue to do things in that area it'll level up into a slightly larger market area and then it'll turn into a village and then it'll turn into a town and then it'll turn into a city and each level that it goes up adds greater functionality including player housing and real estate so if the interesting piece that they'd said in the thing is like okay if you buy a house when it's a town when it levels up your house levels up with the town and becomes like a nice uh Villa and any and then new houses are created but they're still the shitty sized houses that you would have bought if you were a town right so now there's like stratification of society and then if it levels up into a giant like Metropolis then the people who originally bought in when it was a town get these luxurious mansions and then all the peasants who came too late are gonna get these apartments that are like instanced Apartments the comparison uh so and that's interesting you could also build a little plot in the countryside you could make your own little country home with a Mill and a farm and all these other things so it's it's got a very high uh sort of value on that but then the political aspect of it feels a lot like these other MMOs like the players are in control of the government they can decide how much to tax and how to set up trade routes and all this other stuff because there's no Global Market all markets are local you have to send Caravans from the place that has a lot of mithril mines down to the areas that are devoid of mithral mines and sell them for profit and of course Bandits are there along the way to steal them so being players and um of course probably NPCs and the environment responds to how these worlds are created and there's like four different types of these nodes so you could have like a Mercantile one where the leaders are always chosen by whoever can buy their way into the government like whoever bids highest for these uh particular governing slots gets to become one of the oligarchy that that covers the merchant towns and if you're like a military town it's whatever organization physically conquers them by force and if you're looking at a Divine town then it's the players that go out of their way to do special quest lines that help the town and the other players those are the ones chosen to be the leaders so there's a really interesting political angle to this that's going to create the emergent gameplay of you know players organizing themselves into guilds and having battles over who controls what territory and things it sounds like an interesting game it's ashes of creation it's on Kickstarter it's aiming at a late 2018 release um what's also interesting is it appears to be currently backed by like a billionaire who really likes MMOs like he's financially backing this game and the kickstarter is to get additional funds and mostly hype about the game um so that also adds an interesting aspect to it because it's not going through a traditional publisher scheme similar to the way Star Citizen isn't beholden to Publishers so I'm keeping my eye on it I'm probably going to back it uh but I'm gonna you know keep my hopes guarded looking at this there's absolutely no way this game could succeed without a large player base I think that's definitely true if you don't have a large group doing things like you know knocking down trees next to the river then either it'll be impossible to do something or it'll be way too easy to affect the world right that balance so they are critical they're gonna need a lot of people to make the big difficult goals even remotely achievable without being unreachable while at the same time you know I think one of the more interesting aspects of this is if certain areas that are well organized within the game World um are done well and they get to the higher levels and other areas that are more poorly organized by players they are more like the Wilderness they have maybe just a small town and they can never get above like a level two town or whatever um that would make for a lot of interesting diversity and then the people that organized the that have the Metropolis in the North or what have you they want more resources coming from the south and the people down there it's like no man's land like there's no strong governmental like organizational body it's like a few smaller guilds that are fighting over territory that can't amass enough people so if you essentially get the the big the big Guild organizing and recruiting a group to go down and take over and get those mithril mines up and things like that that's an interesting now it is not a single Universe uh shared across everything it's like 10 000 players per per server yeah per server yeah it's it's going to be a lot more like wow that way which has the I mean it also is subscription based like that's the other thing it appears to only be subscription based kind of like how Eve is right now you don't buy a 60 game uh in fact even the kickstarter when you back it for 25 bucks it gives you one month of game time plus all these little perks but in order to play you're just gonna start paying a subscription you don't buy in uh for sixty dollars and then pay a subscription which is certainly more appealing if you're going for a subscription model uh it can be I I've always felt that the subscription model isn't bad but at the same time the idea that you could buy the game and then that there was some sort of like it included three months of subscription for free or if there was a trial version that you could play for a month or two without paying with limits like wow eventually did I felt like that was the better way to go about it like sure I'm sure they're going to have some kind of like play up to level four or ten or whatever and and you know then you have to pay for a subscription because Eve does the same thing yeah I get that there could be a billionaire backing it or something like that but I've always felt that the model that allowed you to have large infusions of cash in return for new what do you call it um large infusions of cash in return for large chunks of new content like an expansion did motivate Studios to make big expansions worth of content which is where hype for games really continues to live yeah no you're not wrong the that that you know the next WoW expansion brings back 20 of the players who had left so I mean Guild Wars 2 had that model right that was the there is no subscription but will you you can pay us for the new stuff we make if it's good enough I think that the way wow dealt with that saying there's a subscription so you need to expect content throughout the patches because you're paying for it was good there was a level of accountability to the developers at blizzard and is that they will continue to release new new Dungeons and new content despite the fact that they're not on the expansion track but at the same time having expansions that cost as much as a fully finished game that come with a lot of content at once makes the game vibrant and Alive it brings players back it gets people to actually really invest My Hope for Star Citizen to be blunt is that there are big expansion packs involved with Squadron 42. hmm I mean that would be interesting too if they did kind of a every time we do it we drop a big expansion pack we move the game time forward a year and here are all these events here here's what's happened now and now new things are happening in the government like that's one of the things I loved about cataclysm was the idea that hey time has passed now and look how the world has changed that's what I want to see in an MMO I want to see the world changing over time I don't want it to be static yeah and at the same time when you start looking at basically the ability to say maybe you can permit lock some systems or something along those lines unless you've bought that particular chapter it might be a way for them to deal with it not necessarily the most Savory way but it might encourage a little more Cross by I don't know we'll see and you know we've got a Latin Kuro over in chat saying what the hell are you talking about sub only is amazing and sub box prices double dipping I don't disagree that it's double dipping but I think that having the motivation of the developers to make that double dip and to say hey we want to make this giant chunk of cash and that means that we need to make a giant chunk of content isn't necessarily A Bad Thing there's an expectation that comes with buying the box and there's an expectation that comes with having a subscription and both of those are different kinds of progression content and I think both of those together are a very good thing when that accountability matches yeah but I mean Eve online shows how well a subscription only system could work I mean they did have you buy the game originally like back in 2004 you bought the game and then pay the subscription because that's how you did it but in the last like four or five years it was really like okay pay 20 bucks the first month and then 15 from then on like the the amount that you paid extra to get in was basically nothing and even now by the time you get to today I think you can play for free up to us and have a bunch of restrictions and then as soon as you subscribe then those those restrictions go away so you don't even pay to get in anymore so that's kind of the new evolved thing but Eve online does drop these big expansions every you know X number of months I think it's like every six to eight months or so it seems like they drop a big expansion and not everyone is huge but some of them are huge and that's that's important uh so that does build the hype that you're talking about yep I I don't disagree um but at the same time you can hardly say that Eaves patches one after another aside from the bigger you know chunky ones have been a good model how many have they had now it's got to have been like 20 or so I'm gonna go look it up yeah I I think the the way that Elite dangerous has handled you have to buy expansions and there's no subscription has been okay wow there's officially 35 named expansions and then for some reason December 2015 January 2016 February 2016 and then Citadel so it looks like about 36 named expansion since 2003 I guess the maybe the Caster was the first major content Edition and you know a lot of these had really big things I remember these names because they came with like oh this one introduced Titans to the game like that changes everything and this one includes the ability to claim territory directly because it changes the way that this is all done and this one you know changed the way so that you can do economic prospecting on planets like these all had these massive things that they added and this one allows you to do Wormhole Mining and all this other stuff so yeah I mean it looks like from this yeah they have one they have about two a year based on this is is uh how I see this there was three in 2014 four in 2014 damn that was a busy year um so yeah two to four a year it seems like which is interesting and Amy if you look at again you look at the elite dangerous expansions so they name those we're in the horizons purchased expansion right now but within that there's been the engineers there's been the commanders there's been some other one I'm forgetting um that patch two one two two two three they've been big content changes the problem with the way that some of those have been handled is that an elite dangerous if you don't buy Horizons you don't have access to the engineers yeah and that's a really tricky thing to do with expansions is how do you restrict the content and yet encourage people to buy it and yet at the same time not like lock out your original players who you technically kind of promised I mean that's why Eve just walks around that whole thing by saying yeah if you're a subscriber then nothing then everybody gets it because everybody's a subscriber essentially yeah and that's part of it is that if you gate certain content that actually provides a power Spike you got a problem you have a huge problem definitely and the way that Ed is treating that they have a problem their problem is that any new player who comes in and just buys their base game is screwed because the moment that they I mean okay so there's no win condition let's let's be clear it's a sandbox but if they ever wanted the PVP they're going to have Harry Potter come right down their throat with an over engineered shift that they are literally incapable of killing mathematically impossible basically mathematically impossible like there are the ships that exist in that game can have over 10 000 base Shields if you engineer it right and then on top of that they have Shield cell Banks which can generate thousands of shields instantly uh that doesn't even need to regenerate it just appears if you're not engineered you have no way to stop the shield cell Banks from working you have no way to get through those Shields and you have no way to damage the player's Hull or cause any lasting trouble to them yep that's a problem I'm gonna go ahead and call it if you aren't playing Elite dangerous with horizons with the engineers unlocked and that is a grind I loved it but make no mistake It's a Grind you're screwed you can't PVP for crap you could be the best pilot in the world you know what you won't be able to kill most of the engineered players yep it is what it is that sort of thing we have to avoid it's something you don't want to see in Star Citizen yeah there's a discussion right now about gate locking stuff in the Pu behind Squadron 42 expansions you know if there's any sort of power Spike to be had from gating stuff in the Pu we really you really can't do it or you're just going to alienate your player base hmm yeah I could definitely see that being a problem all right we are a little bit over our time here so I'm gonna call it thanks for listening to the post show guys have a good one everybody we'll see

V6tHYf0Qs-k | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6tHYf0Qs-k | BITC / Conservation - Dynamic Planning - 1 | okay good afternoon oh thank you you are awake that's exciting because honestly I am a little sleepy I ate too much and I had a lot of fun walking there off the park and and talking to people that I think I took up a lot of energy and it's so damn said we are going to talk about two more factors to consider and if you if you didn't think it was too complicated since we already talked about multiple uses of landscapes as we saw today and we saw yesterday multiple uses of landscapes we are trying to conserve biodiversity but we also need to provide for local communities if you didn't think human population growth was difficult for funding limitations were difficult climb a change addressing climate change issues if anything this was enough to make conservation a big headache we are going to add two more to make it even more more challenging and more complex okay so just to make us think of it about how we how we do conservation when we especially when we are interested in me the threats that are perceived as possible for a population for a set of species for an eco systems for a happy that have it up so on so true so when we try to figure out what are the problems and what kind of solutions we will provide we have we do these threat analysis which are based either on experiments while they're based on experiments or observational studies all models or a combination of the three so experiment meaning we we try to learn more about the biology of the distant hair studying or the species we are studying observational studies of course we just go in the field and take observational data and try to analyze that observational data and and understand what the problems are and come up with some possible solutions and then models we saw a mother's being used in the past or we saw them as examples of of tools and methods to using conservation biology when we cannot do experiments we have limited amount of observational data then we rely on models and a lot of times to me like I said we combine the three if you have information from from these three different angles okay so just to broadly think about how we identify problems and how we come up or try to find solutions for these for these problems with these analysis okay so as I said we have not discussed two factors at least not in detail maybe we have mentioned invasive species and land use chain for sure let loose change we talked about but but maybe not so much about invasive species though by invasive species just to make sure we all have the same vocabulary we all speak the same language we mean species that are introduced and then we have all kinds of other terms that we use for example non-native non-indigenous alien exciting all trying to say the same thing that these species are not originally from a certain area that we find them so we call them introduced but there are all these other terms that all these are the words that basically try to say the same thing or mean the same thing then we also have something else or another term naturalized species and by that we mean species that have not that originally I did not occur in a region but but they were introduced a long time ago and now they are so well established that we consider them part of the ecosystem and i can give you plenty of examples from europe and north america unfortunately are not familiar with the invasive species on the African so sorry about that but think of species that were not originally present in the region and over a long period of time they just become part of the ecosystem they become naturalized um now we may be asking ourselves let's say we find the new basics and introduced species that differences in terminology let's say we find an introduced species in a protected area should be should we be worried should be concern should we take actions and that depends on which species or when our season more likely that this is that the introduced are more likely to succeed and so far the theory or the that they are out there shows that disturbed areas unless that have high nutrient availability and areas that have low biodiversity or though species richness tend to be more likely to google to be invaded or to have non-native species these introduced species established if you think about disturbances that means there is opportunity for full establishment of different different species because we we don't have a very we don't have a system at equilibrium we have mr. Belding disturbances some species may be doing poorly than other so allowing for new species to to get established hi a higher nutrient availability it means basically we are lowering the competition for for nutrients so there is more nutrients in the environment in that particular system there are more opportunities more chances for for other species to be to get established because there are nutrients available for nurses and then this this last bit with about low biodiversity business I would call it the hypothesis that systems that have no species richness are more vulnerable to two invasions but these are three of the working hypothesis so we have the first one is natural enemy released hypothesis which states that a species that is taken from its from its known native ecosystem with its evolutionary long evolutionary trajectory and established interaction ceases interactions once that species is moved from that from that natural setting into a new setting that species become becomes free of all competition free of diseases or less likely because it's introduced into a new system and those interactions are not yet established so this is what natural enemies hypothesis means it means we are moving a species into a new ecosystem a new region and we are giving an advantage to that species because we are removing possible competi competition interactions that may be limiting that species in the natural ecosystem or we are eliminating diseases that may be affecting that leases in the natural system now the next to you see biotic resistance higher hypotheses and biotic acceptance acceptance hypothesis these to go against each other so one basically says if we have a high species richness and high positions or high biodiversity system that will give resistance to the system resistance to your two invasions for that system and then the other one says that it actually allows for species to establish because the high interaction high or the get the increased biodiversity present on the side creates competition competitive interactions between the native species of an invasive species if somehow in advantage because it has it's adorable species that has does not have interactions really going to be established with the only other CC so these two are saying different things at this point so we have evidence for all three we don't have a unified theory of of invasion but these three so far we have we have evidence for all three so this is just a little bit of theory how we think about invasive species and what kind of theory we should have in mind when we are faced with an introduced species in an area that is of conservation interest and then I can pass the chance of showing showing some famous examples of invasive species the brown tree snake the cane toad look how happy the little girl is hugging this giant dose and then Mongoose this is one with one example is more the small Indian introduced to the Caribbean islands that and that introduction introduction has generated extinction of several amphibian and reptile csis oh and I forgot to mention this says generate this this reduced the diversity of species quite quite dramatically on Guam island NE and this is in Australia a major introduction in Australia but these are famous examples there are thousands and we can come up with thousands of examples of invasive species introduced species that have maybe not thousands and help generated local extinctions but at least are many many species that have been moved around the world on different continents these are just the famous ones that tend to be rewarded quite often so why should we care besides the fact that biologically it makes for an interesting system to study we have noble maybe we have noble interactions between species we can talk about this little biogeography on that but from a conservation standpoint why should we care about this well one one idea is this idea of peyote homogenization so what what this means this concept is encapsulating is the fact that by moving cc's around and accidentally or internet intentionally introducing species to a new region we are making the species makeup more homogeneous so we are removing the differences between different systems because we are moving around species either like I said accidentally or intentionally one example that is I think clearly it illustrates the peyote towards homogenization planted is from from an analysis of fish communities in the United States and he cannot leave this table from the back way in the back so I will summarize it for you are quite simply it shows the species in the united states that have been introduced three of them from Eurasia one from western North America one from eastern North America one that is present circumpolar and then the rest about 12 or so species all introduced from eastern North America into not into western North America so we have homogeneous ation occurring in united states basins but with a tendency of a lot more many more species being introduced from eastern North America into into western North America and the main reason for this observing this pattern has to do with with the Western movement of people so European colonizers if I can I never know what the politically correct wanted to use but we are exploring with the Westerners exploring United States what they observed was that a certain fish species that were present in eastern United States who are not present in western United States in the basin's so if they thought it was a great idea to enhance those basins in western United States mainly for the purpose of you know food resource for fishing so that is that's one of the reasons we see so many of the Eastern North American species being introduced into North America and if you're interested there's this they are taken out of this paper now what this study did was to compare all possible pairs of sales in the United States so two states they compare this the researchers compared the number of species fish species present now versus the number of species present historically and then out of all over a thousand comparisons I guess I'll pairs possible between all the United States all states of the United States the researchers found eighty nine pairs of states that had no species in common in the past and now had a mean of 25.2 species income so states that had nothing in common historically now have an average 25 species in common so that's a great deal of biotic homogenization states that heads that were very distinct in terms of of there fish diversity now they are they have 25 species in common and then one crazy example here what extreme example years Arizona in Montana at zero seasons in common and now have 33 species in common if you know anything about the geography of biogeography let's say off of north america you know that Arizona and Montana are very very different Arizona is the dry state high desert mostly high desert state whereas Montana has forest forest has high altitude of cool places so no wonder initially they had zero species in common they are far away they're far apart geographically speaking and now with these introductions that we've facilitated they have 33 species in common | A.

X2SoQULBzv8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2SoQULBzv8 | Game Review: Roguebook, a roguelike deck builder from Richard Garfield of Magic the Gathering fame | and now for something completely different we're going to take a look at a digital game with some definite board game roots rogue book a roguelike deck builder before we get into the nitty-gritty i want to thank nakom for providing us with an early access code for the demo version of roguebook all right roguebook was developed by abba abracam entertainment i'm not even sure if i'm pronouncing that right shows how much i know about video games uh this is the team behind feria whatever that is who partnered up with richard garfield to create this game now that's a name i know that's a name all hobby gamers should know and recognize is the man behind robo rally and the great dal moody okay well maybe that's just me those are the games i love most people are going to know that name from magic the gathering uh the most popular card game i'd say in the world but you could probably still beats it out somehow but as far as hobby games go you can't beat match at the gathering for its renown as soon as i read the first press release stating that richard garfield was working on a digital deck building game i jumped at a chance to check this game out now rogue book is currently up for pre-order at humble bundle it's expected to enter full release in april now if you pre-order now you get access to the demo version of the game which is what i've been playing now this demo version does limit you to one specific hero pair it doesn't allow for persistent progression through skill trees and limits everything to the first six levels so i think it should be obvious but we don't have an unboxing for this one it's a digital world we live in yeah i could show you it installing maybe on my computer that's about it or my steam update key um so rogue book builds itself as a deck building roguelike and well that's what it is uh you start off each game at level one with your hero you then go recruit a companion to journey with uh in this demo you're limited to one specific character so one pair but there will be more in the full game unlock uh you then walk across the hex grid to the main gates and start exploring now the world you're exploring in rogue book is made up of a hex map only part of which you can see you get the little starting area where you choose your companions and the gate and then once you open the gate it draws a path to the end to the tower where the first boss monster is now i say draws this is where the whole book part of rogue book comes in uh the whole theme here is like you're exploring a book it's opened up like a book and you're walking around like a little miniature on this book that's getting drawn into the book as you're exploring and a big part of this exploration is using a resource specifically called inc to reveal more of the map or to draw more of the map you start the game with five pots of ink actually start each level with five pots of ink which is worth noting which can be used to draw in the the ink you start with the hex is surrounding your character as only a path of the boss is revealed at the start you're going to want to do this right you could rush right to the boss but you're going to want to reveal more parts of the map by using your ink when you do this you're going to find all kinds of stuff shows up on the map right you got gold sitting there to pick up you got vault of wisdoms which lets you go spend 40 gold to get a new card uh you're gonna get three to pick from you pick one of the three cards there's wandering merchants that let you spend your gold to buy cards uh artifacts and gems more about those in a bit there's these uh towers where if you go to a tower they reveal the map around them so they're a really good way to show off big sections of the map uh there's runes of sight where if you do one of those they're gonna pick something cool on the map that you can't see and reveal the area around it so it might be like a gem over in the corner a pile of gold over here and i'll show you that um there's an alchemist lab that lets you transform your cards so you take your basic cards and replace them with better cards so you transform your you know a typical deck building thing where you're getting rid of your basic starter and for better cards uh there's hearts where you heal your characters ten each and one of the big things is monsters to fight at various difficulty levels and it kind of warns you this is an elite fight this is an easy fight now when you do defeat a monster you'll get gold and other rewards uh usually uh just gold for the weak ones and then better rewards for the elites you'll get things like new car cards items gems and artifacts but more importantly at this point you will get a pot of special ink now these special links work like your regular ink but will reveal parts of the map different ways so i don't remember the names of them and i'll probably never remember the names of them but one does like a straight line of five hexes another one does three hexes in opposite directions and you pick which direction that is uh there's another one that actually uses up your main eight but it does like a big blotch of five range around you or three range around you and there's all kinds of different inks so aside from the the ink and the way it's sort of unveiling the fog of war uh nothing especially all that unfamiliar to most card battlers and roguelike lovers yeah as far as i know i i will admit i am not greatly experienced and i played a few different ones mostly on mobile um not a lot of steam games but this does seem pretty straightforward with with this interesting theme and look to it so what what some of this stuff does right those stuff you can pick up so like ink reveals more on the map gold is used at the merchants and vaults to get new cards and improve your deck uh the card improvements are done with gems so i mentioned getting gems so this is something that from what i understand is new in this game is every card has a number of sockets on it so your basic cards have one socket the ones you get when you first start playing will have two sockets and i guess you can have that more later in the game each socket can hold a gem and what gems do is make a permanent improvement to the cart now these are not minor this isn't like a little two plus one damage it's more like do plus 14 damage to the closest enemy and what's interesting is you could socket that on a card so you could have it on a card that's like draw two new cards and do 14 damage it doesn't have to go like on a damage card or it could be on one of your defensive cards so your defensive card also does damage or it could be on like your buff that buffs the guy behind you or whatever right um another example is just draw more cards right which if anyone's played any deck builder the best cards in your deck are the ones that let you draw more cards because they don't really take room in your deck right well you throw a draw an additional card on your standard defense card now it's a way better card there's tons items are equipped on your characters now remember you have your main character and your companion they're both your heroes you put an item on your character to give them some kind of bonus uh again additional damage starting with certain cards in your hands starting with an ally in play healing all kinds of stuff right roguelike think think diablo on the number of different items that could drop artifacts are the biggest most powerful items those are global effects that are always in play and they're going to affect both your characters and give some kind of benefit now at the start of every floor in the game there are four artifacts in the four far corners of the map though there's no way you're gonna get all of them which we'll get to in a minute so if you do want one you're probably gonna have to be pretty strategic with using your ink to make sure you get it so it's interesting that it's a flexible card upgrade system when most of the roguelike deck builders tend to be um a straight upgrade so the the card is this and it upgrades to this and that's it yeah no this is completely customizable this is you decide what gem to go on to what card in each of your characters decks right so your deck's actually made up of cards for both your characters so you actually get to decide which hero is going to even get that bonus now as for battling um again this is deck builder right um the big difference here from other physical and digital deck builders i played is that you are playing two characters and your deck is mixed with cards from both of those characters and they're very well easily color coded you have the white and the orange character to start now when battling every battle starts with one of your two characters in the front you can change the default and this position matters whether they're in the front or the back during the fight now for one you're gonna get a bonus for who's in front at either the start or end of each round so your default characters i don't remember their name sorry your default characters are one of them gets plus two defense if they're in the front at the end of the round and the other gets plus two to all their attacks if they're in the firm so depending on if you're going for attack you're defending that round you may want to swap them up you get a hand of five cards and you get three mana to use them now this is a big difference from every physical deck builder i played but i know it's common in digital deck builders where you're not playing your whole hand every turn anyone who's playing ascension star realms is used to playing everything these digital deck builders seem to have moved away from that for some reason it's all about only playing certain cards from your hand all the starting cards only cost one mana and you have three mana to use so at the start of the game before you've improved everything you're only gonna play three of your five cards every turn now the most expensive card i've seen so far playing cost five but it was one that went down every time you used a different card from the same character at the same time so it's a five but then if i used an attack and a basic defense it's down to a three note there are cards that increase that mana level as well as artifacts and items that can increase the mana level so you can get up to play more cards when battling you're gonna face one or ma more enemies i've seen up to six again the order matters so the monster in the front is different than the monster in the back most cards in your deck are split between attack and defense cards attacks do damage to a specific target so when you play the card you pick which of the enemies to attack defense moves the defending character the front if they're not and then gives you a number of shields each point in shields you have blocks one point of attack when the opponent's attack with this uh it's a deck builder it's a card game it's designed by richard garfield there's way more i there's no way i can get into it here i'm not going to mention every card there's keywords there's lots of keywords uh one example's charge it does extra damage but moves the character to the front uh missile cards are cheaper which i thought was great if they're used in the back as well as getting as cheap as zero which could get you to that being able to play all five of your cards there are allies all kinds of types of cards now allies are i thought are unique to this i've never seen this in any decoders i played um these stay in play so it's kind of like a summon in magic i guess in a way but different so it's it's a card that you pay they're always expensive they usually cost two or three so they cost a lot of your mana to put up but then they stay and play each round they have a power level that goes down every round so a countdown so if you play an ally with a five he's gonna be in play for five rounds uh then they're gonna do something like there's allies that defend for you there's always that attack for you they're usually tied to the character that played them so for example the one that attacks every round has the same attack power that that character had that round so it only actually like works if you pair them up um many of them actually have abilities you can use too by clicking on the cards it gives you a new thing you can do every round uh interestingly one of the better items i found in play actually had you start with allies in play at the beginning of every round your character started with allies um then there's a bunch of stuff based on the fact you have two characters like cards that buff the other character cards that put another character in front uh lets you swap positions and so on yeah the the multi-character aspect is interesting but what i'm i'm really noticing um and again i'm much more of a computer game player of this type especially than you is that they've really taken a lot of aspects from various different games and mash them all together into one meta game this is this is really sort of the the meta deck uh deck builder roguelike of all builder road lights right um the one the one unique aspect that that just i haven't come across and i can't find i can't think of in any games i've played that is unique is this ink concept right yeah that was definitely different to get used to um and then that i guess it makes sense right if you're gonna put out a new roguelike deck builder you base it on all the successful ones that are already out there so jump it back to combat so everything has hit points once you get rid of those that creature or character dies um which i want to bring up because death i think is pretty unique when one of your characters dies you're going to put two wound cards in your deck these are the garbage carts you'll recognize these from a bunch of physical deck builders these are cards that do literally nothing they just take up room in your deck when you draw them you're just like oh i have wound cards um and then the other thing it does is it takes all of that characters remember you have two heroes so one heroes unconscious their entire set of cards flips to like i don't know if it was physical i'd flip the cards over but like they switched to a new type of card which called revive cards what they do is they say specifically on them is play three of these and the character revives now this doesn't have to be done in one round like you don't have to get lucky and draw three of the same character you can build it up like i play one this round and then two the next round if you manage to get these in play you will then the character will stand up they'll get back up and they come back with a handful of health uh it's not a lot like it's like 15 to 12 and they probably won't last long but then you can also use their cards including the round they came back up now if at any point both your characters are knocked out game's over game's done now while playing your characters will level up in an interesting way this progression is based on how many cards are in your deck as soon as you get your deck to 14 cards you get your unlock then another at 18 cards 22 cards and finally 26 cards in your deck now at each unlock point you're going to pick an ability and what it is is each character has abilities and then there's a team ability so at the first unlock it's do you want to unlock the ability for hero 1 the ability for hero 2 or a team ability while the hero 1 abilities of acura one the hero2 abilities effect hero2 and the team abilities affect both yeah it's interesting because in a lot of game and you know in a deck builder so often deck size is a negative but here they're actually encouraging you to build up the size of your deck uh is there even a way to thin your deck at all you did mention you could transform your your basic cards to better ones so the only way to get rid of a card in your deck is to go to the alchemist and transform it into a new card right so now when you never lose cards you just change what they are yes you replace a a lousy starter card that gives you plus five defense and you transmute it into this like great card when you transmute you like not only get a card you get some gems like it right it's very expensive um i've done it very seldom but it's very powerful because for one it gets rid of a lousy card and gives you a good card so that's that's kind of it right you you go around exploring the map using the ink uh you're trying to improve your deck you kill the monsters get more ink to explore new areas and eventually you're gonna run out ink and when you do that you gotta go take on the boss monster if you're able to beat them and i gotta say if they are not easy you'll move to the next floor once you inevitably end up dying remember this is a roguelike you're gonna start over at the beginning of the game back on floor one again and you're gonna pick a companion and in the demo you're gonna pick the same companion every time because they only unlock the one while playing hopefully you found i don't know what they're called they look like slips of paper with runes on them scrolls i don't know they're loose whatever they are uh they don't show up very often like like every now and then they'll show up on the map and when they do like you're like yes thank you for showing up you do get them for some battles um elite bosses and you will definitely get one if you beat a boss if not two these you use for permanent progression on a skill tree and it's a typical branching skill tree with all kinds of stuff on it um your basic unlock lets you unlock a new team power and then there's a different basic unlock and you need lots of these like to unlock the first one takes one but then the next one takes five which means you're gonna probably have to play through three or four times to get to that next one and like to fill this whole tree you're looking at hundreds possibly thousands of plays like like i i can't i didn't get very far in the in the skill trees so is that there is also another form of progression every time you play the character you play gets experience points what i haven't figured out is how that's determined i have no idea i just i play and the bar goes up so far i don't know i don't know where that's coming from it's done in the background if you get it to the level end you then get to add better cards to their decks and again this is permanent which the next game you start you're going to start with these better decks so yeah this the the leveling is is yet another feature from yet another game that i hadn't actually added the list yet of games this game is made up of yeah so so yeah this is pieces parts right um so what all this leads to is like i said what what is known as the grind right uh the entire game is about grinding and very gradual progression you play it over and over and over again making small incremental improvements to your heroes and decks hoping each time you get a little further into the game and you find more of those skilled sheets of paper and you get further into the rogue book and well that's what a roguelike is right and this is a roguelite yeah they've certainly nailed the concept down with the name uh there's no question of what you're getting out of this you're getting a roguelike in a book road card or deck builder is about the only thing they could have done to get it better so uh thoughts on it overall i i had fun it's well designed uh it looks great i didn't see a single glitch or technical flaw or anything um i was invited to a discord channel where i did see people who found small little like this card didn't quite work right but it didn't feel like a beta or anything like that this feels polished uh the music's good the art's good uh one complaint is when you do start the game you have to watch the animation and you have to watch that every time so that was that that can be a little annoying um i will admit i was disappointed when i found out my review copy was only the pre-order demo uh but there was you know what there's plenty of content there like it kept me busy it let me experience pretty much all the game i would have loved to have tried different heroes but like i didn't get far enough in that i hit the level six cap no way like i like i play these games but i i it this is a fun game it's a good time killer now what i didn't do with this and i don't know if this is a knock against or what how most people play these games but i never like spent an evening playing rogue book and playing through level one over and over and over and over again what i would do is i would spend a day blogging or writing a review or sharing deals on tabletop deals and then i'd sit there and before going downstairs watch netflix i play one round i i would start fresh i'd grab my companion i'd go out i get get past level one maybe or whatever and that's it and then i go watch netflix or whatever and then go do something else maybe that same day i do another run like maybe i'm taking a break in the middle of the day i'm like i'm gonna go grab lunch it's a good lunch game right like you have sandwich in one hand and kind of click around i'm not having the type you don't have to type while you're playing so i'd have a sandwich while playing i'd do one run and then again before going to bed i'd play one more run right like it was play it once get through it then maybe later play again i don't know about you how you yeah i have to say when it when i'm if i'm pulling up sleigh or uh or one of the one of the various ones it's generally i might at most i do i would i would do three if i had you know a chunk of time but that's about the most number of runs i wasn't sure i wasn't sure if i was consuming this how people would normally consume this well i think you know all again a lot of these it's it's like animal crossing right yeah people will play it the way they play it i'm sure there are people out there oh yeah grind away and and more power to them that's awesome uh for me you know a couple or three runs yeah then move on so there you go so that's not unusual so the deck building combat system solid uh like it's an in what i like this there's a bit of mix of dex construction and deck building right so you're doing your deck construction between fights and then your deck building while you're playing so that was nice i did like the gem system i thought that was really neat and man you can make some really powerful cards like like the ability to combo a defensive card with an extra attack and stuff like that um i like the item system finding an item and having to decide which hero to give it to was like a valid choice like i'm like oh man oh do i want to give that to him or her and and those were all well done um the the two com character combat system i really liked like soon as i got my first missile card i was like oh that's brilliant and it's the fact that it's a one cost attack that does you know 12 damage which is pretty good but if you're in the back it's free it's a zero cost and i like that i like that positioning matter right now the one thing i don't like or didn't like or i don't even know is that that exploration system right the problem is you don't get enough ink even if you fight every fight on the map and you win every fight and you hit every tower and you hit every vision square you will not reveal the entire map and that drove me nuts because like to me that's part of a roguelike like that's that's where this deviates from being a roguelike because going back to rogue like the game that these roguelike is named on is a game i used to play with my dad on the amigo we used to play the original rogue you always made sure to explore the entire floor before going deeper never go down until you've explored the entire floor unless you fall in a pit trap and then you're mad because you didn't get to explore the entire floor you might have missed out on a sword or one extract speed or a spell or some food oh the food was so important in that game and that's not the case here and it's by design like they made the game knowing you won't explore the whole map but i want to see the whole map i want to collect all the stuff like i felt like i was being forced to fight the boss i get it i i played the game enough that's this is rogue book this is not rogue i i guess i have to accept it i don't like it but it is part of what makes this game unique yeah i can definitely see how when you're expecting a roguelike the map just being revealed as you move through is something you take for granted i mean it's mapping mapping it out is what you do now one thing i think everyone is going to want to know everyone listening right now if they haven't completely tuned out is how does this game compare to other deck building roguelike games uh the big one the the big boy everyone's talking about is slay the spire now right now i will say i have played a few of these i don't have the names memorized i tried a few different ones mainly app-based ones um i had more fun with this than any other digital deck building game of this type now i'm not saying every digital deck builder i still love star realms it's still really ascension that's a totally different thing i'm talking about these roguelike uh constant progression try to beat the boss go up the levels kind of game so this beats everyone i play but i haven't played slay the spire that's that's the the number one for most people now i know sean has played it quite a bit from what i know and i know you haven't played rogue book but i think i did a pretty good job describing it you can tell what's different so why do you how would you compare those two games well it's interesting because this game touches some aspects of slave the spire uh with the deck building the repeated grinding key world even allies you know in a way although they're called powers in um in slave spire uh but it also goes well beyond that with party members uh varied upgrades uh rather than just you know one one possible upgrade for a card uh and the very concept of a dungeon with a fog of war in slay there's no movement mystery you've got a a path tree that you know from the moment you start okay um there's one bad guy and you there are four possible places you can start and a tree to get there so you've got some choices to make but there's no confusion it's it's you're going to start here and and go up and you know what every step along the way is from the beginning um yeah that is very different like this you have a lot of agency over even where you explore do you rush to the boss do you go off to the left right you you hit one of those vision runes and all of a sudden artifact shows up and it's close and you can reach it do you try to get to that um one of the big things is just trying to find places to get you new cards right and if you found one of those then finding the gold and healing is sparse if you get lucky and find some healing that's another one but the i do really like the exploration even though i hate the exploration because i want to explore everything but that is definitely a big difference in this game so i find it actually compares a little bit more to my personal favorite deck builder beyond slay the spire and that is monster slayers okay um because it actually has exploring um you don't even know where the boss is when you get in there wow when you first start um it's uh it's not a full map it's actually just paths but they're all dark to you until you've wandered around um now they do have there is a second character or additional characters in monstrous layers but you don't play them they're just more backup they're more like the allies you've got in uh that game um and then um there are the unlockable upgrades for your characters between runs and things like that um but then also you've got um erratis lord of the dead which really plays into that sort of the or player order and raising someone up if one if one of your party members dies okay um there's so much of that and again i i you know pointed out before that ink is kind of the special sauce that while they've taken from so many other games they've added this one unique to me item that that brings it all together into its own concept and that's the book thing as well yeah the whole book thing all right i think that's a pretty good comparison of them from i wish i had two codes so you could have tried it but just yeah it's interesting yeah it really is because again they've taken so many concepts from the different games um i one of the things i think that would be a big difference between slay the spire is there seems to be more thought involved in rogue book uh slave the one thing about slay this buyer is the reason i'll play three three rounds of it is because for the most part it's pretty clicky um i know i'm going to remove the basic attacks from my deck i know generally depending on which character class i'm playing what my with my play style which cards i'm going to add into my deck when they come up um there aren't a lot you know the upgrading is literally you know am i going to upgrade this card or not it's only gonna go to one other thing so it's it's very um quickly playable you know it's a great lunchtime game because you can sit there eating a sandwich and clicking away and there's a lot you can do without heavy thought whereas i think roadbook there's there's more investment and and brainpower there yeah even in the fights like you're not just clicking through your decks there's a big difference you get an icon oversized again i didn't get in all the detail but the combat you get an icon over the enemy's head showing what they're going to do in the next turn that's pretty you'll even see how much damage they're going to do yeah that's that's pretty standard okay so it's it's a lot of strategy of the do i put up my defenses or do i attack especially if they're going to buff right so you're like i don't need to defend this round what do i do instead and then trying to tailor your deck so you have the balance of defense and attack because that is one thing i did wrong in this game is i ignored defense once and just went for all attack cards and it was great until i got to the boss that was doing 60 points of damage like it was it was awesome until that point what i should have done and this is a mistake on my part is i should have live streamed playing this and then you could have watched and saw it and i didn't even think of doing that ahead of time maybe still will do a live stream for for those of you listening or watching let us know if you're interested in that maybe it's something i'll do at some point i do still have the game so overall i thought rogue book was a very polished solid enjoyable game while it did suck me into that point where i was spending hours playing through game after grain and grinding it all at once i thought it was a great game that i'd pop on do a run and then go do something else and then maybe come back later that day or the next day to me it was like a break game it was a lunch break game though not necessarily always played at lunch now it did do a good job of scratching that deck building card game itch uh i did enjoy the unique elements of this particular rogue builder roguelike deck builder from the other ones i played and it sounds like it's got even more well similar to a bunch of different games kind of mashed together into one you can definitely see the tabletop game roots here uh if you play tabletop card games it feels like a tabletop guard game i think it's got a lot of richard garfield in it especially with the different keywords and how the cards interact and how they combo and the there's no real rock paper scissors but the whole this obviously counteracts this feel to the game if you enjoy these kind of digital deck building games i recommend picking up rogue book um if you're a tabletop deck building fan you might want to check this out uh especially nowadays if you're stuck at home and lock lockdown and you don't have anyone to play deck builder with this is a probably worth noting a 100 solo experience there is no multiplayer mode there's no way for me to challenge sean or fight sean's heroes in rogue book this is a solo game only if you don't like roguelike style play where you're gonna play the same game over and over and over and start from scratch with just a little bit of an advantage over the last time this game won't be for you personally i'm glad i got to try it all right well you can check out mo's written review of roguebook by heading over to tabletopbellhop.com and clicking on reviews you | Tabletop

Vav4ZG0WEHY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vav4ZG0WEHY | 2019.10.18 Healthcare SIG General Meeting | there we go excellent well good morning everyone uh thanks for joining us uh we're just past the top of the hour and uh i do have my screens shared and just we're having some technical issues so everyone can see the screen just fine yes excellent i like to hear that i'll assume everyone else does i can hear it as well i can see it as well excellent thank you so much uh well uh again good morning we have a special guest with us uh and and we'll we'll get to ben in just a moment uh but first and and again as always uh first of all welcome and and thanks for joining us and i appreciate the time that you're you're setting aside for this next hour uh this is hyper ledger uh healthcare special interest group and as always as a reminder we are recording this uh this presentation and i also obligated to mention that we have an antitrust slide so we'll move over to that uh and so that anti-trust policy if you will feel free to read through the details of it there's a url in there with additional information regarding anti-trust for the linux foundation but in some it really is just be a good person and that's what that's really all about um as always as well if there's anyone on the call that's new uh and you'd like to introduce yourself now would be a great time to do so i see a couple of new names or names that feels unfamiliar to me but uh feel free to to say hello and talk a little bit about yourself your interests where you're from uh and how blockchain technologies uh you're seeing value in the healthcare space good morning everyone this is alex poston uh i'm the chief technology officer for hashed health based out of nashville tennessee although i happen to live in orlando and it's a little nicer than nashville this time of year health is a long-standing healthcare blockchain or distributed ledger organization it's been focusing for years on trying to help people understand blockchain understand space in in the healthcare community and in the community as a whole and my background specifically starting healthcare technology companies and you know hopefully solving some real world problems and then getting those out to people so i appreciate being here and look forward to learning more well great to have you alex uh yeah well sure hash health i think most people know about hashed health uh and great to have uh uh you on the call this morning uh and uh i i'm sure this will be a great opportunity to learn for you to learn a little bit more about what's going on uh with uh with ben and uh and ledger domain and so yeah great to have you on the call thanks thank you anybody else would like to introduce themselves okay uh sounds good and if you are new as a reminder uh we do have a membership directory and it'd be great to have you uh put yourself on that list and it's a great way to sort of connect with others within the community here uh and you're certainly not obligated to do so but in order to get to the membership directory you do need to set yourself up with a linux foundation id and that really gives you the opportunity to make edits to the wiki here as well if you have any questions about the organization our special interest group specifically we have a an faq page and that's what i'm showing you here so if you have any questions feel free to go there and as well if you have questions contact either myself uh or erica my vice chair uh and then you know as well there are options for you to to make use of the hyperledger community by either through listserv which is really email our wiki page is here or we also use rocketchat which is sort of an open source slack like uh community uh for communicating with membership in real time so with that said uh let's move on to community announcements and i really have only one announcement that i'd like to share with uh with the group uh which is uh coming up in march of next year uh we have the the hyperledger global forum this is an annual event and this year uh it'll be in phoenix arizona um and if you have any interest in participating in that uh feel free to jump over to the uh the forum uh the global forum page uh which i'm showing you here um this is really kind of the the big event for uh for the hyperledger community uh to to get a little bit more involved and learn more about what's going on uh within hyperledger and i believe we're hoping we'll we'll get uh a number of speakers uh from our community uh in the in hc the hcc community uh speaking at that uh at the event uh i know i think we have three different uh at least three different uh submitters that have uh made uh proposals for speaking um and that i think that ended just a couple of weeks ago uh maybe this past week or two uh if you do have an interest in uh submitting proposal let me know directly and i may be able to sort of help facilitate maybe getting something under the wire does anyone else in the community on the call have uh any announcements that they'd like to make nobody's doing anything uh well i see wendy on the clock good morning wendy uh good morning how do you have anything any announcements that you've made a recent uh change in in career um did you want to share that or do you want to keep that not yet okay all right um and then uh well i'll i'll sort of make a segue over uh to ben uh because uh ben and i were just talking before the call uh kicked off uh ben was a speaker at the uh at the the recent blockchain uh conference in new york um and i'll just sort of hand this over slowly hand this over to ben and introduce him uh ben is our speaker for the hour uh he's also ceo of ledger domain and uh i'm i'm really excited to have him uh share with you some some of the work that he and his team have been doing at ledger domain uh particularly as it relates to pharmaceutical supply chain but there he's got uh several other projects that he's been uh as well uh just uh i think it was yesterday today before ben spoke at the at the new york uh blockchain event uh and so i'll hand over to ben and and as i do that i'm gonna i'm gonna give you ben the uh i'll share with you uh the uh co-hosting opportunity and so you should be able to take take command from here and uh and we'll get started so good morning ben and thank you good morning um do i need to share still or am i already sharing uh yeah you go ahead and share and then everything will sort of switch over to you okay hold on let me see if i can get that done um and as ben is getting spun up uh for those uh those of us that would like to to take home a copy of that uh of his presentation you'll see the url there's a link in the wiki page for his pdf that's available to him there we go all right let me see if i can now run the slideshow yep here you got it small perfect well thanks very much rich let me start off everybody uh at rich's request with what was going on at this summit and what i would say is that there was a great attendance at the healthcare summit in new york broad group of people in terms of our community i think the two things that were expressed were the hyperledger uh was particularly in the lead at this point in healthcare which interested me from a perspective the perception that people had and offered was that uh permission was winning and the biggest concern was performance levels which actually surprised us quite a bit our own view at ledger domain is that hyperledger fabric is performing beautifully in terms of scalability what we shared with people was we felt we were 36 months ahead of our clients needs but a number of people still seem to be struggling with that and that was even practitioners so that may be something for us to talk about at a later point but what i'd like to do today is to dive in and talk about some of the things that we're working on and i know we've got a mix of people in terms of their mentality and interest but what i'd like you to do is to jump in and ask questions at any time but if you have a technical question i think i'd like for you to wait till we get to the technical architecture slide and then we can do a little bit of a deeper dive for the people who have a technical question if you have a question regarding healthcare more general just jump right in and fire away so why hyperledger for us we've actually been a member of hyperledger and the linux foundation for the past three years uh we chose hyperledger fabric as our primary focus in the fall of 2016 which is kind of amazing looking back at that time it was not what it is today um but we felt that on an enterprise scale basis it was going in a good direction and in particular at that point we felt that our clients and prospects were less likely to buy into a bitcoin or altcoin based model we felt that it would be uncertain as to whether or not that would even be legal in certain jurisdictions and many of our clients have a global footprint so those were some of the reasons that we focused on hyperledger fabric and we've been very very satisfied in general we run all of our implementations on hyperledger fabric and we start most of our implementations with an iphone client as well that way we have a very clean simple stack to do all of our prototyping and demonstration projects on and it works very well for us in terms of blockchain's potential for privacy and compliance that's very much a hot button with all of our clients we're about two-thirds healthcare at this point but whether you're in health care or not privacy is the number one issue in people's minds for new systems if you're operating in europe it's gdpr if you're operating in u.s healthcare it's hipaa and the new one that's coming up january 1st is cal privacy and our belief is that we're going to be serving clients and prospects that want to skate to where the puck is going and understand the need for privacy and compliance there's always going to be bad actors and there's always going to be companies that decide that they'd rather just you know do the crime and do the time and pay the fine but for us if you're investing for the long run with blockchain you're going to want to come up with a compliant solution the way that we do that at ledger domain is we've built a docuseal framework on top of hyperledger fabric and what it does essentially is build out a layer on top of hyper ledger that enables us to make use of hyper ledger's off chain storage or private collections or whatever you're calling it these days and it enables us to put all of the pii in the private collection and in particular the way that we've set it up is as a self-service model and i think that's very very important and what do we mean by that if rich is a customer of a big health care plan and they need to get his driver's license or other personal information he can put it in private storage on the blockchain it's hashed the hash is placed uh on the blockchain itself but he's got total control over his driver's license image he can take it down he can put it back up he can share it with his provider he can unshare it but if they needed to double check it and transact it they can always message him and get that information back okay so now let's talk a little bit more about how we do this this is a relatively recent architecture um and i want to say just to be clear that some of our clients are still on um fabric 1.2 um you know different folks move and migrate at different points and they're able to do that since they have their own blockchain but the can we see can you guys see my arrow yes okay perfect so what we've done if you look at everything there in teal and orange that would be standard fabric modules so we use 14 of the 17 hyperledger modules by our account and what we've re done is we've rewritten everything in go that most people use the node.js versions of so our implementations are a hundred percent go and we've built a toolkit that manages governance with the root of trust has secure comms so that you can set every all your orgs up securely um and remotely and as we also set it up so that you can set up your own off chain collections on your org locally or on the cloud under your control the way this governance works is that if um ledger domain is serving as the cis admin and let's say rich is running his own org and he's the org admin all the keys get moved back and forth and all the contracts get set up through the governance module by common consent of all the org admins and the sys admin the cis admin is not able to see any of the smart contracts that org set up in private channels amongst themselves and nor is the sys admin able to open up the private collections so the org admin has total control over their org and they run their msp down to the member level does that make sense to everybody and then we run off-world credentials for people that want to do it that way and essentially the idea would be that if rich had a big organization you know he was working for johnson and johnson or pfizer or somebody like that and they wanted to set up a link to active directory or one of their standard um models for managing their membership they could do that meanwhile if i were running for ledger domain a catch-all org for smaller players we could set them up with credentials directly through the uh fabric msp does that make sense to everybody so in terms of stacking it up then we run our own app server that sets up the community arrays the orgs on the hybrid cloud and that all gets handled by the sysadmin and then we interact with the orgs to get them set up on each of their instances and they then have their off chain and their local node all managed together any questions on the part of everybody so again this is relatively high standard hyperledger fabric we're using almost all the basic modules and we've just made adjustments to drive more performance more scalability and enabled our people to communicate securely without having to go outside of the fabric instance today people are passing keys across the table or using dropbox or other insecure models this way the keys get exchanged the right way inside a secure channel that we've set up on the side and again we're super big fans of starting off on something like an iphone that's great for supply chain applications where you're going to scan a barcode a 2d barcode in particular and it's great for sharing xml messages and it's terrific way to put a biometric front end uh onto your wallet and to provide a simple look and feel for people who don't want to have that command line interface five that so many of the blockchain solutions offer so again most of our clients they have a sophisticated person that is part of the company you know so pfizer has somebody who's very apt to hyper ledger fabric but they have a hundred thousand employees that don't want to get their hands dirty um and we provide them with a simple iphone interface to do their business our goal and this is true almost across all of healthcare clients is that nobody really needs to know that there's a blockchain backend we're offering something that has value to people that they can see and touch and feel but it doesn't have to be a blockchain experience in their own minds there's feeling the security without really getting too far into the weeds and so the way that that runs is we put a specific app on docuseal you'll see some examples of that in a minute then docuseal manages and the notifications and the communications with the blockchain and also picks up the private collections the same way so this is really what you're used to looking at i think um if you're a fabric developer but we've just put some of these tools in so that what we've got is a python interface for all of these things instead of all the heavy lifting that you're used to doing the other thing on an outboard basis is we've we've structured all the notification engines separately so we do use you can see here the fabric event services or what they used to call event hub but we put out board in addition some other event services so that we can manage notifications to the ios environment hey hey ben this is rich i have a couple questions for you real quick fire away um how how sensitive uh to fabric version uh is your solution which is to say if you if fabric uh did a version rev or uh you had a customer that was you know uh predicated on an earlier version of fabric where does that sensitivity lie for this overlay so that's a great question um i think many of the people on the call are familiar with the idea of validated systems uh and in the healthcare space um many people would want to have some level of validation of their system and so the idea of continuous integration and all this sort of stuff is probably tougher in that environment so to your point we would want to have a highly scheduled documented approach to updating any of these things and so our typical client or or prospect would be you know they would only be on iphone 8 today they might only be on an earlier version of the ios system they migrate in the healthcare world often six to 12 months behind they want to see the bug surface and get fixed before they move and i think that we would see the same thing in general on our side as i mentioned early on many of our implementations were on 1.2 they're still on 1.2 we don't migrate them automatically and we'll schedule say a move to 1.4 and let people know what the plan is handle the documentation and do it from there so there's a whole process of communication documentation validation where necessary on that side we have not yet rich decided when and if we would move to uh fabric 2.0 i'm sure there are people who know more about that than i do 1.4 is sort of the secure release that i think will be supported for the next couple of years and we haven't yet determined our game plan for moving to a 2.0 model i'd be interested in hearing what other people are saying there but that's kind of where we see people sitting does that answer your question oh absolutely yeah and and one of the the reasons for bringing this uh question up is governance uh is becoming an increasingly uh sort of concerning issue and i think this is a great example that where you have a solution it's a successful solution uh and and you know a customer would have to start under trying to understand uh how do they see uh see their solution over time as uh as the back end uh revisions dr get driven and you know and they're wondering well how do we how do we sort of grow into these uh newer releases and so um yeah and so we are definitely starting to see some some questions of governance coming up and it's it's good to hear that uh that this solution has some of that sort of that understanding already sort of baked into it it does and i think but there are the other thing that it bakes in which is surprising to a lot of new people um is that if you look at this everybody can see this slide here yes so let's say we had 43 000 people on our clinical supply chain [Music] system only the sysadmin and the org admins would actually be able to see the smart contracts so that might be 17 people out of 43 000 and so that old bitcoin model of everybody looking at everything um is not something that we have had our um governors if you will endorse um and for the most part in pharma and healthcare uh the perception is that there should be a high level of transparency amongst the governors and the admins um but there's no way inside of this docuseal app for someone to can open it and get a look at the smart contracts and in the case of some of our implementations there's not even a directory which again it's i'm hoping over time we're gonna see more transparency but the basic idea is that if you work at a big drug company and you're sending um information to a site you have that person in your own local directory but there's no sort of huge master directory of all 43 000 participants anywhere that you can access does that make sense yes absolutely so not only is it permissioned you have to know who you want to reach out to okay let's talk a little bit about some of the health care things that we've talked about and worked on we've all seen you know we're big believers that patient registries are going to be more important sorry to interrupt then come later hi how are you yeah i'm good how are you actually i have one question cutting the fabric uh so you are using zoo kafka is a consensus mechanism here we have a standard order standard set up and we're running typically here most commonly these days we're running on top of um ec2 on aws on level db yeah same thing same generally the architecture so are you talking about the hybrid clouds the nodes are running on the hybrid cloud or just the only one particular instance of the any cloud or like one pair running on the ibm cloud one on the aws cloud other cloud under some local machine like this architecture so what i would say is that um some of our clients are using a local server all we need is an ubuntu instance and so they might use a local server um it would be also common for people to be on aws on what i would call an adjacent model where i'm on aws pfizer's on aws you know but they're running it on their own account with their own org you know i presume that we're both somewhere in seattle in the basement somewhere but you know it's under our own control the one thing about the hybrid cloud model that i would highlight is that fabric itself uh right now is a little tricky to use on your own server on the private collection side it's easy to run a node but you do have to do a little bit more database management for the private collection if you're running on aws and it's not too heavy you can put it all in the same level db um but when you run off you've got a you've gotta uh and you're and you're off cloud and running it locally you've gotta pick a database and and do some real work there um to answer your other question you know on mixing uh ibm oracle and others again i would say there is a database issue um that you've got to be aware of so in our case we typically try to keep everybody on level db and we try to keep everybody uh on a standard database off chain it's much easier if you can keep everybody there um and when you start blending the different blockchain as a service people you you can run into some uh hinky issues at this point yeah got it and i have another question so you are using docker dockerized so in terms of containers which is your question in terms of containers uh we view all of these things as an implementation detail so as we go through it with our clients each group has a different view of these things um i think that docker makes life a little bit easier we do worry and i wouldn't i would never write this down but i'm just telling you what we worry about we do worry about security on docker we do worry about security on couchdb um and so if you've got the more of these uh layers that you add uh and the more flexibility that you add the more challenging it is to prove and validate your security envelope and so we in certain instances we've run purely on bare metal for clients who are highly sensitive to these issues when you run bare metal and level db i think you've got a very tight security envelope if you were to run couchdb on docker you know you've probably got a lot more flexibility in terms of doing searches and things like that but at the same time we start worrying more and more about a backdoor problem does that make sense yeah but actually i'm asking about the order and pr about the component of the fabric like order npr running in the docker containers we'll actually run the piers on bare metal in certain instances that's what i'm saying but to your point yes it's easier to manage with a kubernetes and docker model and we manage all of that through this fabric devops tools so we spin them up that way and it's all a one button kind of process okay okay so again these are all important implementation details in every um every one of our communities has a slightly different sensitivity yeah and it's sometimes again i don't mind saying this sometimes it's their own experiences in completely unrelated implementations inform them as to what they're scared of they're fighting the last war maybe um but if they've had good experiences with doctor and good experiences with aws you know they're more likely to want to work with that we have big clients that have that feeling um and if they have had you know less good experiences they have a different view make sense yeah it's mexicans thank you any more sort of technical deep dive questions no uh it's clear now okay so i'm going to skip through this pretty quickly patient register you think is a big area to provide the info hubs with blockchain obviously that's a great way but to manage uh pii and particularly as people want to aggregate clinical studies those sorts of things it's going to be a very exciting area but it's very very challenging um obviously you've got to have an identifier scheme think about how you want to link to your caregivers your doctors how do they get access and then how do you structure it this is one of the fascinating things that we talked about at the blockchain summit in new york um you know there's all these people in silicon valley who are talking about people owning their health care data but if you're a man a steward of medical records the last thing you would want is for a patient to come in and erase an embarrassing std or something else that embarrassed them that they didn't want people to know so ownership only goes so far um and stewardship only goes so far and data fiduciary goes so far so it's a balancing act of maintaining compliance with hipaa and with newer policies like cal privacy but obviously in diseases in rare diseases where you want to get a broad catchment area you know chinese patients european patients to try to find you know a genetic uh problem or something like that and maybe there's only 30 000 people worldwide it's really critical to be able to put all this together talk a little bit about one of our bigger projects that's in the open clinical supply kit chain you can look at kitchen.org we work with a lot of very terrific well-informed large companies on this like pfizer iqvia who is the old quintiles ups the delivery company merck ucla health gsk thermo fisher and biogen were our partners you can see what they're fighting with here is that active clinical studies where they're trying to find new drugs have doubled over the last 10 years and the pharmacies that manage those are bursting at the seams and again for those of you that are trying to scratch your head on what clinical supply is commonly if you're going to test two drugs and find out which one is the better you have to anonymize them and you have to blind people so you basically would take a blue pill and a yellow pill and you'd put them both into a white gel cap and you would label one a and you'd label one b and you'd mail them out and you'd give one patient the a and one patient to b and find out who had the best effect with the least side effects obviously that's a very tricky process and it's a perfect process for blockchain it's also perfect for blockchain because there are over 800 companies sponsoring studies at 20 000 different centers and so ucla for instance who's one of our partners has 700 clinical studies with a hundred different sponsors they don't have time to go to the pfizer website and the merc website the gsk website to figure all this stuff out and so the thought was that we could put together a blockchain that would show ucla all the ucla information and show murk all the merc information so we worked together as a group over the last two years we were the solution provider and the goal was to basically provide an amazon like experience to everyone in the clinical supply chain and you can see here that you're manufacturing you have companies managing the clinical trials called cros you have people that are making this stuff called cmos you got couriers like you at ups and fedex you get the sites like ucla and the patients all these other people you've got to get them through customs they have cold chain it's amazing how many different types of organizations want to touch this stuff and the idea is to deliver an auditable and transparent system give people real-time information and advanced notification of things happening so here were the roles that we modeled the sponsor would be someone like pfizer or merck the distributor would be their cmo somebody who's managing this blinding into the white gel caps and then the courier ships stuff out to ucla and then it ends up at the inside so ucla itself has a pharmacy you would i would call it a pharmacy but if you saw it in person it looks like a costco it's that big it's a huge warehouse and it serves 500 pharmacists and 200 individual pharmacies inside of the ucla community they have over 200 local clinics in addition to the seven hospitals and then the clinical study is managed by a principal investigator ucla and then many many patients so let's take a minute to look at that hi victor from ledger domain here over the next two minutes i'm going to walk you through the kit kitchen app which supports a robust collaborative model for pharmaceutical clinical supply chains by using the power of blockchain kitchen unlocks secure private and immutable inventory and event tracking for clinical supply shipments replacing paperwork and manual transcription today we're going to hitchhike a ride with a typical new user alex a new employee for a leading clinical services vendor logging in for the first time alex will kick off a shipment notification and store accompanying documentation as the documentation is uploaded to his personal lock box on an encrypted server a unique hash is generated and sealed into the blockchain so it's impossible for the document to be secretly altered or falsified all of this is handled by ledger domain's selvedge server reopening the message it's verified by the blockchain now let's share it with someone else alex is going to share the file with jen colon who works at a clinical site so jen can view and also learn more about the message to confirm its origins and authenticity going back to his messages alex can get more info on each one including who he's shared it with alex can also unshare or delete a document now let's take a look at some messages that have been shared with alex as alex opens a message its authenticity is also verified against the blockchain by harnessing the power of blockchain kitchen lets alex upload share and control access to messages with confidence all in a way that's secure and unforgivable in real world applications kitchen will be configured with messages designed to fit the needs of the pharmaceutical supply chain including the ability to read and share unique identifiers with the advent of personalized medicine the clinical supply chain in the future will not only have to contend with greater complexity it will have to be managed with hipaa and personal health care information regulations built in from the ground up great so let's move on to supply chain systems and wrap things up uh the other things that we work on are in the supply chain space so kit chain would be supply chain but you saw in its current form it's more messaging oriented they tend to know where the packages are but knowing what's in them and knowing what you can know some people would be blinded others not is what's key and capturing those messages in gs1 formats is what's critical in a supply chain world things are a little bit different if you're managing the actual custody as well you've got to capture all the transaction you've got to be able to develop trends and analytics on the control plane and then you've got a surface you know your risk management issues which is basically flagging categorizing bad transactions and figuring out what you're going to do with them the blockchain is great at figuring out what was supposed to happen but when you have something that wasn't supposed to happen you've got to be ready for that as well and so what we've been working on is the next generation pharma supply chain um there's something called the dscsa which is a new law relatively passed in 2012 that's being basically supervised by the u.s food and drug administration and it's basically that you really need to know that you're not getting counterfeit or suspect drug as a patient and the dispenser can really tell you where that drug came from that's what's called tracing many of us have been talking about track and trace i would say that tracking is looking down the supply chain tracing is looking back up the supply chain so they earlier this year the fda asked for people to come up with pilots and so we partnered with our friends at ucla to build and test a last mile blockchain based system um called bruinchain and the we picked a drug called spinraza that is basically saving babies lives but is very very expensive and obviously it's hard for ucla to have a lot of doses around at a hundred thousand dollars a dose here's the dscsa timeline which basically says here we are where the alarm clock is the wholesalers are already supposed to be shipping only serialized product that has serialized numbers and the dispensers are up next to be receiving and shipping serialized product and so obviously we're right on the cusp of having this thing go live so that by december of 2023 everybody will have unit level traceability all the way through on an interoperable system so what we're doing on blockchain is to track and trace spinraza here's the drug as i mentioned it's very expensive it's a fabulous drug and just to put it in perspective this is a horrible statistic when they did the clinical study for spinraza all of the spinraza users survived and 30 percent of the children who were in the control group died during the course of the study that's how horrible this disease is and so they really want to make sure that they know exactly that they've got good spin rasa at the right place at the right time so you're scanning the barcode you get this long string of numbers you chop it up and then you have to provide it on a roll based basis to each of the players and again this is where fabric shines you've got role-based access rbacs you know about those a backs whatever you want to call them and you've got so many abilities inside to do this just the right way so we've got these five roles the admin role the manager role technician role pharmacy role and the prescriber role with this prescriber being a doctor and a technician being sort of someone on the loading dock who's not a registered pharmacist but as a trusted person to unpack things and do the scanning and so basically that's what we're working on at ucla right now it's called bruin chain and the idea is to drive a terrific application show it to the fda the fda then will issue a final report next year and then they'll have to figure out exactly where they're going to be going with this but of the 16 people that are doing pilots nine of them and to my knowledge all of them that are actually building systems are all on blockchain and to our knowledge about half of those people are on hyperledger so that's the end of our show any questions that people have [Music] hello ben this is wendy great presentation and i certainly learned a lot i had just wanted to get a feel for the degree to which this is truly in production yeah so what i would say at this point is that we're really still mostly in pilot mode okay and that very few people i would really say are in a true production mode yeah when do you think you might be in production i'm not sure that our customers are going to be wanting to talk about that oh fair enough so just curious some of our clients are a lot more forthcoming and by the nature of their consortium so you can go on to linkedin and see the clinical supply blockchain working group you can't download the smart contracts but you can find out a lot about what we're doing and you can join the group many of our other clients view this as highly competitive information oh sure we don't expect that they're going to be wanting to talk about whether they're in production and as we mentioned early on i there are a subset of people in healthcare who view um blockchain as something that's worth talking about with their clients and stakeholders but there's a lot of other people that view this as a competitive advantage and they don't plan on talking about blockchain ever i hope that answers your question um to the degree that you are able anyone else rich uh yeah you know uh maybe a follow on to wendy's comment how how are your customers um responding to the fact that at the end of the day this really is a blockchain solution do they care about it do they have an extra uh sensitivity to it is there a sense of um uh gosh what's the right word for it um well maybe extra sensitivity uh you know um do you get a are you getting a sense for that or you know because one of the things that we deal with is at the end of the day uh a lot of what what the solution said is on the back end it really doesn't matter uh and the customer is really looking for a solution to get you know to do their work so how much of that is exposed how much of this is exposed to the customer that is in fact a blockchain solution uh okay so let's talk about that at two levels but i'm going to answer the question first in terms of our client or customer or prospect or buyer um i think the oddest thing about this is that it has the the feeling that we get with our customers clients buyers is very different from what you read in the newspapers and at the core i think the most concerning thing to them is that they're somehow not going to be able to absorb enough about the blockchain experience so that they could get somehow rooked or left behind from a technology standpoint i think that's the weird thing about blockchain is it's perceived as being so strategic and so important that they really want to understand what's going on and that interesting yeah interesting and yeah it's it's not so much that they don't trust it it's that they they want to make sure that they trust us as vendors and they want to trust hyperledger fabric as a platform they're very concerned that there's somehow some amazing data that they have what they're going to put on the blockchain is somehow going to get stolen from them or that there's some element of blockchain that's going to enable some new entrant to rook them in some way and so as an example in the pharmaceutical supply chain ucla is not worried because they are still going to have their patients and pfizer is not worried because the drug is still a fiser drug but everybody in between is very much in agony about what this could do to their business that is understood that much is understood absolutely and the point that we make and the point that we continue to tell people is that we don't see blockchain supplanting and paving over systems of record at most of the companies that we're working with so the way to think about it is it's a little bit like if you've watched wall street uh news shows and they have a ticker tape at the bottom the ticker tape tells you the tr time and sale of all the stocks in the stock market and that's basically a blockchain style application it's a real-time application to give you a small amount of information about what's going on in these systems but it doesn't supplant the actual system of record at the brokerage firm to manage your stock market statement at the end of the month or anything else it just ties everything up in together in an infomediary way which is what i would call a data switch and it enables people to look at a data feed coming out of the switch in real time that adds value to everybody but that doesn't mean it's going to pave over everybody's application internally there might be a few small systems that it supplants but i don't think that's going to be the major driver here good okay yeah that that makes sense it's interesting there's a seems to be uh maybe even still a little bit of cachet there that this is a blockchain solution uh what what we're sort of beginning that's getting a sense for is in fact we we tend to talk in terms of dlt uh and less blockchain uh just to maybe take away a little bit of the uh the hype that that has sort of surrounded blockchain uh the term blockchain over the past year or two yeah i think there's a lot of people who like this dlt angle in our universe i think what it creates is its own problem is this concern that everybody's gonna have a copy of the ledger and they're going to be digging through it right there's full time right number one that's not true and number two um you know it sets a an expectation um that is probably not realistic yeah but yes every one of these terms you know i think has has is a little bit of a loaded term right so you just have to be careful in terms of of what it is you're promising exactly well just to interrupt a little bit uh we are just coming up uh just have a few minutes left in the hour uh maybe one last quick question and answer uh before we close out okay um well again thank you so much ben uh very much appreciate uh the the presentation uh uh as as i mean this is to me very exciting in a lot of ways in part because uh what you what you're doing through ledger domain is very tangible uh and you're applying uh blockchain technologies in a very uh very broad way and again it isn't uh you're not using blockchain for the sake of blockchain per se it's actually getting real work done across multiple domains within the the health care industry and it seems to be very tangible work that's getting done so thank you so much for that uh and if there's no other uh no other questions or comments uh uh we are scheduled our next meeting uh is in two weeks from today uh same time on this channel as well uh and i believe we'll have another guest speaker um uh yeah mike mike marchand uh he's uh our hie immigration director over at uc davis health and he'll be talking about his uh experiences in the in the blockchain space within the healthcare within healthcare uh and so that'll be two weeks from today well thanks again ben uh again great presentation uh and your presentation will be available on uh on the uh uh our website uh as well this recording will be of made available to the the whole of membership in the next day uh so people will be able to to watch this video uh as as they find time to do so um any other thoughts questions before we close out for the for the week thank you very very much for your time there appreciate it thank you all righty well thanks again everybody uh have a great weekend ben thank you so much uh great great presentation thank you very much rich it was a real pleasure alrighty thanks everybody we'll see you in two weeks bye bye um |

ROx9WAvz3rY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROx9WAvz3rY | HCPP20 - MARTIN LESKOVJAN - Origin and history of parallel polis | [Applause] so today uh when you opened the news in the morning you could see the big titles how the elections that happened yesterday and the day before uh finally uh happened what were the results so again in czech republic we went through this ritual of uh regular elections so people went to vote and uh when we will talk about police i think it's interesting to stop at this point because czech meaning of the term to vote means halasovat or dadlas to give a vote has very interesting etymology because when you strictly translate the term alas it's not a vote it's a voice so when you when you vote in check it means you give a voice when you give a voice you give up your own voice you hand it over to someone else and he got the voice and he can tell you shut up i have the voice no so what we are going to talk about is different way a different attitude you can take other than giving up your voice not to give up your voice not to vote for usually we say smaller evil but there is possibly another another way but we are here to talk about the concept parapolis and where it comes from and uh i have to say a little story behind most of you probably heard about it but for those who didn't this space was originally inspired by a slovak hackerspace progress bar and progress bar uh was a little bit different hackerspace than others because it was not primarily um geek club where you just bustled and worked with with technologies and so on but they were very much focused on um lectures and education and gatherings which we liked a lot that they didn't only close up to to small community but they also promoted they also promoted uh some new technologies crypto technologies and so on so we wanted to have something similar in pla in prague and we were searching for a format a space some venue for it and of course a name and when we have found this house we realize that we can be something more something wider than just the hackerspace it can create a space that will serve to public to to get simply knowledge ideas inspiration whatever whatever else and then i uh one evening when we were setting up this this premise and we were preparing the first hackers congress six six years ago we uh i talked to my friend who studied political sciences and i was describing him what we aim to do here i just i i told him about bitcoin and liberating technologies and encryption and creating some unique special and separate sphere of relationships beside uh beside the state an official one and he told me the the thing you are calling that are you talking about uh bender called federal police uh it's the same thing you want to do i said i've never heard about it but i will write it down because it sounds really cool so we started to we we took this word these two words and we started to study what's behind and we realized that we know all the context but this small word the particular phase parallel police remained just in in some texts uh from from the past from communist regime from 70s as you will see and it it remained partially forgotten so pearl police until 214 wasn't some hyped war that everybody knows but exactly the opposite like only a few historians and few political scientists knew the word the term pearl police so we realized so we decided to take it up and give it a new life as we were diving into into the term um it was interesting interesting and important to understand uh where where the term comes from and especially for those of you who are not into mid-europe history it's very important to understand at least the very basics how the environment and the era where the polish comes from looked like and how it developed so we are we are in deep 70s when we talk about police and at this time you can see it was uh it was deep communism here which started in 1948 with very brutal uh change uh which was very very unexpected and it was big lesson because after the second world war everybody thought that this animal stuff and terror and brutals that happened during the second world war will not happen again and huh 48 and 49 and it was here again in in a very very sharp way the communists achieved during one or two years to to spread the fear and and orders so effectively that that [Music] they they simply smashed all opposition or or other voices and and established really tough uh totalitarian regime then in 58 you probably know about khrushchev and his critics of stalinism and so on so so the situation stabilized a little bit and and the environment became a little little bit more liberal and breathable then a very important uh part was the prague spring 67 and 68 which was an era of very high level of liberty and very optimistic social atmosphere then especially art literature but also many other professions could suddenly express themselves much freer than it was used before and to this situation without any warning in 68 there was this direct invasion of ussr armies you probably know about which which was like a punch from the soviet union that nobody expected and to this peaceful and liberal environment suddenly came the soviet tanks and started to uh started to shout to public buildings like national museum and so on so for for the witnesses uh as i was interviewing uh during uh during my program uh police 101 uh zero oh that was exactly about this era they told me that they were totally shocked by what was happening even though they already had the experience of the communist region before then from the 1968 and 80s after the occupation there came so-called normalization it was very tough wave of uh totalitarian practices which we will be going to talk about and in 80s there started some stagnation the regime started to be more in defense than in orphans and the structure started to simply disintegrate and uh and uh um and so on so when we talk about parallel policy and when it happened so we talk about this era this 70s after the ussr army occupation so we call this era normalization so what what what happened in 68 the tanks cam the the armies and after that there were a couple of individual uh acts of protest one of the most famous is a self-burning of jan palach and his followers which was very strong act of protest but uh but the regime succeed in spreading fear and and simply discouraged the opposition to uh act somehow in a unified way and and in some structured way so only very few individual activities of some protest this and and so on remained one of them was so-called and one of the most powerful in czechoslovakia was so-called second culture which was represented mostly by fall underground and other musicians and then some theaters and so on you probably know story of what's la favel etc so you can you can see uh then uh lots of uh intellectual elites were fired from universities and scientological uh works workplaces and so on and they lose their job lost their job and had to find something else to do usually it was some uh workers uh like second class kind of the work like manual work and so on and the only way they could continue their work was to to go to underground so they started to create so-called apartment universities and small groups where they continued with teaching and doing publication activities and so on well what's also interesting is uh that very important role played the christians christians groups and and churches which is not frequently mentioned and then in uh 1977 the the one of the most significant acts of of resistance was so-called chart of 77 which was a like um part or or some result of growing influence of of different small movements and individuals who started to be more and more discomfort but also encouraged due to the regime practices so what is interesting and important also is to see that uh the the czechoslovak context is very different from other soviet uh countries even in the european bloc so when you when you search for other dissident movements in other countries you see a very different strategies that have been taken one of the most powerful this is a movement was uh was was established in poland uh where in 80s lekh walesa and his fellows kind of hacked the system in a very interesting way because what they did was not any unofficial movement but they they found in the constitution that workers had have a right to create unions unions of workers and these these unions have a right to to partial independence and sovereignty and self-governance so they claimed uh they claimed this these rights and as they were workers movement which was the basic vehicle for for for socialism they they kind of hacked the system because they achieved uh that the government and the and the kurds had to admit that they have this right and they they have this sovereignty and then they can continue to work and in 1981 they already had 10 million 10 million subscribers because as it was workers union they could suddenly spread around poland in many different cities and and whatever whatever kind of organizations that had more workers and uh and that's why they were in a mass way very very successful and very influential in hungary when i take another uh example uh the the opposition or or the protest movement were more like relevant political opposition they they were more like reformists who wanted to discuss with the system and and push to change to change the system so it was more like political way of of changing things another example is uh for slovakia where where the dissident movements were very small like in comparison especially to poland but even with with uh czech republic but they they had different nature for example environmental uh protecting groups or or churches or or individuals um who who operated in in different spots in slovakia so so we have to understand that that the context of these parallel policies if we if you use a very wide term differed country to country and culture to culture let's say but now we are going to talk about charter 77 because there is a direct link between the term para police and charter 77 that i will uh explain you to you so uh what what was charge 77 it was basically a petition of of so-called civil society that just wanted uh an appeal to government to keep the rules that they they accepted via international treaties that that that contain norms related to human rights it was signed in helsinki in 70s but immediately the regime started to like interrupt and not to not to keep the rules so so charity 77 was an appeal that wanted to be legal and direct dialogue with the government and applied to appeal to to comply with their human rights rules here you can see some some quotes so you see the narrative and and examples of the text so it was it was really like um from from from our perspective it was nothing nothing very uh aggressive because they just asked to keep the rules the state already accepted but in this time it was really very uh very brave act which which the regime took really really really bad uh how how the charter 77 worked so it was a text elaborated by a collective of authors that wanted to remain uh anonymous but one of one of them were over was also vastly bender and others other other important names of the czech dissident movement they they insist on remaining unpolitical in in terms that uh charter 77 unified different professions different uh political uh thinking different different currents of thought and so on so so they wanted to unify all the streams of of uh protests and and opposition movements uh together uh they didn't achieve that much uh mass influence finally it had like one one one thousand two hundred signers uh until the end of communism so it remained a very small uh very small initiative but the reaction of the regime shows that it was it was like a hit to the black uh middle point because uh because the the regime react really really um you know in a strong way so all the protagonists afterwards were were uh quite brutally chased and interrogated and and still under uh still under surveillance criminalized lots of them uh remained or ended up in in jail finally um so what was the reaction uh vaslav bender describes uh the ways of reaction uh in in a in a small article from uh 1968 where he summarized that a very interesting uh point and it was that the the regime had set of strategies that they repeatedly uh changed they they they still use the same they only changed that this time we're gonna create some anti-campaign one of examples is so-called anti-charter which was a text that was refusing uh the charter 77 requirements and and appeals and they they uh asked all the uh czechoslovak elite uh especially artists and and uh teachers from professors and so on and so on to to uh to sign it so so they they've created a very strong uh media pressure based on uh defamation you could read that the charter 77s representants were were like junkies who who took drugs and poisoned wells and were funded by by imperialists from us and so on and so on so really really like so if we if we talk about fake news today it was nothing in comparison to fake news generated by by the communist regime at this time another another way was bureaucratic prosecution so whatever you wanted to do and you needed some approval for it you didn't get it you couldn't travel you couldn't study you couldn't whatever you were still in some clash with administration another another way was police repression so everybody from the movement knew that they have their own police officer they knew that the the power tries to persuade other people to cooperate with them and became agents so they knew that there are probably are infiltrated agents among them and they will they were totally without any reasoning suddenly arrested interrogated for a couple of hours and then they let them go and and they did it repeatedly all the time so you never knew if you come back home or not uh any day another another way was that they created criminal trials usually construct from constructed uh reasons and background and uh then they imprisoned the the actors uh based on these these constructed accusations and in general they they spread fear and intimidation so this is how they reacted and now we're gonna come to the parapolis term where it comes from so the author uh of the term is watson bender who was a politician he lived here in prague i i sat at a table where the charter 77 was written his wife is kamela benduva is still alive so we interviewed her a couple of times and it was really interesting to see because at their family table a very part very big part of czech history happened and one of one of them was that the charter 77 was written there so so he was kind of a key person in the movement he was mathematician and philosopher and all his interest can be covered with this triangle if you use the parapolis symbolics which was catholicism politics and philosophy so these were three top topics of vassal bender which tells you that he was a deeply believing catholic uh who who uh always imprinted his uh christianity to his texts with philosophy and so on and uh what what bender openly was was also he wanted to be the kind of a kind of a leader of the movement um uh he also hoped that if the regime fails fails one day which he really believed in uh and there was not many there were not many people who really believed that the the regime will fail but he was one of them and he hoped that he will be the vats love but but not the havel who finally become became the political leader but he wanted to be the boss of harold which he finally didn't didn't become and one of the reason probably is that uh in country where is the highest trait of non-believers uh uh and a taste it's it's uh quite difficult to become a leader with with a catholic program so now where how it happened um vassal bender in 1978 started to realize that uh behind charter 77 movement there are some patterns uh of the behavior of the movement that show us some some interesting phenomena and the phenomena is that uh as as a as an act of uh self protection and survival in the in the environment of the oppression they had to start to behave in a different way and take different tactics and uh vassal bender was describing the tactics the strategies and he covered those strategies with the name of pearl police so what is pearl police according to bender is a set of strategies that the movement take took to protect against the uh against the totality and uh to to create an environment that is not in clash in direct clash with the government but uh creates our its own uh social structures that work beside the official one and uh it's also interesting to see uh the two words to take a look at them so first police what does it mean because uh very frequently people think like polly is like like the the state police so you're joking of fritz or or what no it's it's a police in the old uh greek ter the old greek term that refers to uh ancient police so-called city-state is the like most frequent uh term you you you realized but uh but of course the police also developed it uh it appeared around 800 before christ uh as as the population of greece grew uh so uh there started to appear more and more police uh these city-states which created some basic organizational structure of the society so police is basically a basic social structure we we might say also community so the basic unit of of the of the society uh what is also important there is is the is the personal identification with the police so i am the part of the police where in the greek times originally there were tribes but but what happened was that with the with the rise of police uh the tribe system uh was changed into the identification with the with the police more than with the tribes and uh what was the primary uh visible character of police was that every police has had its own army its own laws and its own set of gods then the word parallel was also also interesting to take a look at the etymology because very frequently people think that it's something alternative something something derived from uh from the main thing so we we take the official main thing and we just create some fork of it or so but parallel uh doesn't mean alternative it means it's also from greek is a para means alongside something something something out of i would say in aleos uh is one another so so we see the differ the total differentiate the likes of the subjects so it's always something totally separate um it's also interesting to see other other definitions of parallel which is never meeting however far extended but have the same direction so this is this is uh the term parallel police and when we come back to what's left bender so what what were the main pillars or the principles of parapolis according to so the basically what it is is creating of autonomous social and other structures that are independent and beside work beside official regime or other authorities he also named some um some parts of or some pillars of the parallel polish that that were uh characteristic for the charter 77 movement one of the one of the most important word the plural education then of course parallel economy parallel culture the second culture [Music] then it was the principle of active civil rights protection they had their own information system called samisdat which was like uh organically uh or we could say peer-to-peer uh spreading of uh publications and and other information and they claims to have several international relationships uh also uh foreign policy we might say uh so these were these were those that were characteristic for charter 77 but what is important and and uh bender bender expressed this as it in the essay is that these are only some examples and there is not any limit or or some rule why propolis couldn't do many other other things and operate on other fields so it's usually it's always depends on the circumstances environment era culture and so on what uh what the parapolis in this exact condition is is if you remember the the examples from other countries so the pearl police in hungary in hungary was totally different of parapolis in czechoslovakia it was totally different to paropolis in sloven in poland sorry and later as the the term was discussed within the dissident movement uh the other authors like vaslav havel shimechi and others uh elaborated some some idea what is the goal of parallel police because otherwise it was just an description of of strategy like for example crypto anarchy is but the the the arc articulated goal of prior police which is independent society and it sounds very general so what does it mean and i i love the most the vassal of other definition which is very idealistic but it says that independent society means that wherever the civil society can organize itself this the state should make the step back like okay you are able to organize by yourself i give up my rules and my authority and leave it up to you so the ideal state co-living with pearl police would always make the step back when the self-organization is able to govern our own things without the state authority so now maybe it's a good question to us so what can be palace is it only the house in holla chavitsa or in vienna or in bratislava as it used to be or what what can be what all can be parapolis and not long time ago we had a very interesting interview with smuggler and frank brown on their podcast with stream cyberpunk and we discussed there that parapolis probably is just some expression of something that is deeply in our human gene in our human nature because when we apply the principles of parallel police back to the historical historical effects we can see that in in history many times uh wherever whenever the state power grew too much there were created some kind of parastructures and that's why i placed here this image that i really like um it's it's uh it's an image from the asian rome this this uh up on the ground it is the rome empire and the and the governance by the roman empire and here under the ground are the catacombs uh that that you can visit especially in rome uh which were occupied by the first christians after uh after the um bc simply and as you probably remember from history the first christians during the first three centuries after christ were illegal and chased and haunted by the by the rome imperial power so they had to operate totally illegally and their strategy was that they dick into the ground and created under like truly underground uh cities or catacombs it's it's it's called so even even back in history to 2000 years ago we can see some expressions of of need in this case to to freely express my religious preferences and it can of course also be uh something that will happen in future i i chose an example of uh of parapolis 3-0 which is a concept described by yuray badnar who is having parallel talk right now and i recommend to read it if you haven't it's on the website of slovak police parallel now police.sk and it's it's an idea how a parapolis concept could develop for future not to be dependent on physical space physical premises so he proposes kind of a fluid structure which anyways uh anyway is happening as as other parapolis and in different forms are growing uh not only in czech republic so uh this this is uh this is some final thought that i would like to propose and uh i would like you to think about uh and learn from history because maybe some form of parapolis is some kind of anthropological constant something that is common for all humans all human beings and we can see throughout history that that uh some forms of parapolis happen and we can learn from the strategies we can see uh even now in the world when we when we take a look to different regimes that that things are happening there when you take a look to north korea you can see that there are youth smuggling into this north korea culture especially from south korea but from from other countries as well and even though the region did a really really good job in brainwashing the people they didn't succeed some some some basic need for freedom remained even in this north korean regime and some versions of parapolis we probably don't know about now are happening there as well so it's my call to to study history and search for parallel policies and principles and inspiration for this so i would like to end up with this with what what i've uh what i've started with and it's the moment when uh i was talking to my friend about crypto technologies bitcoin decentralization and so on and he as political think political scientists realized the connection some some relation to the to the historical point from seventies to pearl polish the concept uh and and he proposed that and for me this is very interesting moment because it connects some some very small piece of our history with uh something that is happening now and which was the very grain and seat of this concept we are participating on now so thank you very much for your attention thank you very much [Applause] do we have any questions raise your hand please could you please tell a bit more about the future the visions for parallel police sorry that's a very good question uh because recently police is going through very dramatic changes you probably saw that slovak parapolis has closed down it was not feasible to to keep the premise they they found uh bratislava slovakia uh there was pro police for two years or three years um another parallel police was established last year in vienna operates totally independently in a very nice way and there are other groups uh like in kosciutz and other places they somehow want to uh deal with this what what we've done here and continue with it and follow it up but even even this this project this this like first police i would call it uh goes through changes uh which which are organizational which are related of course to to uh needs to create different model different business model for for operations such of such a big house and there is also this concept of parapolis 3-0 like a new new version that wouldn't be that much bind to to physical premises to some like institution in the physical way but uh could could provide us some tools to to uh to cooperate and and work together in another way which i think is very important for future because what is happening in the world now and it's the topic of this congress is that accidentally the situation can get much worse and even keeping the physical space might be too big obstacle due to some operation repression whatever from the site of the state and we have to be ready for a moment when we won't have won't be able to operate a physical space charter 77 also didn't have their own coffee and co-working and and so on because it wouldn't be possible simply and we have to get ready for for a moment when when it won't be possible to operate in this nice way anymore and i think the concept purpose 3o is exactly the the way the direction uh that that is interesting to to take to talk about have you thought about um trying to reach some billionaire um like some some billionaire um billionaire yeah like peter thiel and and um or some foundation i mean which could theoretically i mean more easily add funds and i think these principles are set from the very beginning uh very clearly there are different kinds of memberships in parapolis uh and one of them is so-called board of donors the highest uh way of of of member members or not highest but the most generous i would say and these people pay a quite significant amount per month i think it's like 700 euros 600 euros something like this per month but the point is that nobody can pay more they they have like uh strictly done uh set up the the fee the the membership fee they pay so uh which we should protect the organization from one general partner who will donate us lots of money one year so so the organization starts to operate with different budget and another year he can say ah if you don't do this thing that i like i will stop my funding which can be fatal for the organization so so that's the principle how we reach the money of let's say more wealthy people but but of course it's living organism and things can change in future i don't exclude it yeah sorry there's another question so we can get back to you if there are any other so at this moment would you say that parallel new police community is more has more of a physical presence or online presence if you should compare it it definitely was more about physical presence and i think that during the last year it takes a serious important lesson that being depended on the physical presence only is not the good way so i think now this congress is exactly good good example how how the things evolve how do you think evolves and uh um and i i can't imagine that that it would come back uh to physical premises only presence uh i think the the online would be more and more important of course the other questions just to add on the idea i mentioned before about the billionaires because i think that there are many people some people or many many people in the in the crypto space which um made a lot of money with rising crypto prices some didn't i mean some even had losses because of unfortunate things like mt gox and etc um but i recently saw some article also that the number of of bitcoin uh billionaires is or um multi-millionaires is like again rising very much and so um maybe we have through networking we can reach to such people and maybe if um for one time because of corona also um you could set a clear rule like okay this time we will accept larger donations um but um with absolutely no interference of course in the operations because um i think that at least a part of these um very rich people now um they um if we um made them become very aware that they only did get this money because of satoshi and and all the others who contributed um then i think this is such a great place and um such many good great things come out of here so that uh um this is very nice to hear of course uh donations are always nice but what's what is much more valuable and sustainable is uh when the when the organization is able to create the fundings itself so so i think this this should be still the main focus how to be totally independent on the nations and then the nations can be nice to have uh edon or or some network that that protects you from total fall in case of some critical situations uh then some donator who helps not to fall to the ground can be of course uh important and in other player policies in history of course it was uh very very important as well uh the the frequently uh uh frequently uh quoted soros the this this big uh donor one of the biggest in the world uh also supported charter 77 uh in the 70s and 80s so so yeah we can see lots of pearls with history as well but not not for our policy he didn't fund purpose as far as i know there's one more question last question i appreciate um this year there's the the online version and the physical version and also in previous years i'm sure you recorded a lot of the the content so now it's kind of it's not just like a physical thing because it's um people are experiencing in real time anywhere and we just spoke about like a sustainable way of surviving like in a material sense what's your plan or vision for you know this content or the stuff that's being generated um like does does that relate in some way to um to sustainable way of like for example you could have like a library of content that you pay to access or like there's this um now that you have the the valuable stuff in in in this form and and you're open to uh you know opening it to the world you don't have to be here like how how do these two relate or do they relate in your vision i'm not the person in charge for this uh i i am since since may i'm not member of of the of the leadership of this organization uh so it's not in my hands anymore but uh as far as i know the slovak model will be followed so slovak parallel police create a paid zone for for courses and and lectures and so on that happened in pearl police physically so you you cannot access all the content for free but there is some paid zone and i think this makes sense because it worked pretty well uh in slovakia uh so so i think this this should be followed um as well and the ex and the user experience with the hop-in with the tool for the for the for this congress is quite nice i'm positively surprised how nice it works so i i think that's that's exactly the way how to do stuff [Music] [Applause] | Paralelní Polis |

you see that super at the top that's the symbol of the Church of God in Christ where I was born and raised and that's just in my bones authentically but you see new ages throughout the sinner that I breathed new and the avocado walk new hands y'all got talk new Antioch you cut me I believe you aunty I will UCLA Bruin I'm on the right I'm a Weight Watchers chin god that's the Weight Watchers been

there because I am physically me and then looks like the busyness of my life but but I am fearfully and wonderfully pained I'm naked and Jimin no shame I'm created in Christ Jesus for good works are predestined to be conformed to look like Jesus told him I am authentically me up the real thing I'm created in the image of God I'm recreated back to who I was born to be when I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior this is my born identity and we have been in searched for who we are because until we know who we are we won't know our purpose and this year we're chasing down our purpose we will not leave this year without all of us walking in purpose but if we don't know our purpose we are like a ship on the ocean with no captain no course and no destination with no purpose we're just unnecessary but I know who I am somebody say I am authentically me it reminds me of the faith in 2017 a movie came out called the greatest showman and and in the greatest show it is the story of PT Barnum from what grew up with Barnum and Bailey Circus if I grew up going to the circus in Barnum & Bailey Circus so it is the story of PT Barnum and he had put together a group of misfits and finally Perdue but each of them had his gift and had a great talent they were a gift they were a gift to the world they were a gift to society but they had been taught to be ashamed of themselves so PT Barnum he puts them one stage and he created what they call the greatest show and called in a circus but he himself was also ashamed of himself he was born poor and he was rejected by the high society the folks that he worked for but he fell in love but one of the daughters of the high society people and he spent his life trying to be good enough for her father so when he got famous to the circus he went out he discovered a more acceptable scener then his circus act people and when he had this same thing they finally let into the high society clothes but then he was too ashamed of his circus performers to let them go to the party with the high society clothes so he told him look I don't come and go go go get ready for the show in other words he was saying I'm fine for the circus but not for society nothing because we are all created wonderfully we all have gifts and talents we all are created on purpose and for purpose that we are perfect for our purpose but somebody taught us to be ashamed of ourselves to exchange of our shortcut and imperfections somebody made you feel like you were fine for the surface but not for society you know the guy he'll sleep with you but you you don't marry because you find for the surfaces you know you know that one of the girls you let you change the tires at midnight cupcakes at times but she's not gonna bring you to the office part as you find for the circus but not for society you know you know that call you we didn't want you to do a service for free but when they want to be somebody they call somebody else she was fine good night for society that lets you do all the grunt work but it's time for a promotion addicting somebody else do is fine but not for society you don't have to look very you don't have the right family name you don't have the right education you're fine but the circus but not the society but in the movie this group of misfits head fooled around and found themselves today if you don't Wow now they have been walking and living in purpose that they had a taste of their own spotlight so they worked the same pitiful sideshow clouds that they wear what PT Barnum found them they had grown and they had discovered who they are so they'd be watching right now they wouldn't let them in the party but they wash right out in front of everyone if y'all queue up my video he think Mars right out in front of everyone and this is what they had to say I which ought to really pay attention to the words of this song this is what they had to say about being fine for the circus but not for society [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] me fixing he's not closed or copy is genuine is real it means representing one's true nature to believe being true to yourself this is me but it's not that easy to beat me comfort this process not easy being not that easy to be me it's not showed me who I am but one day I was bringing to the holy spirit and I was begging the Holy Spirit help me leave me why would I need help to beat me why have we gone through the first several months of this year trying to figure out who we are who we're supposed to be so that we can be ourselves so that we can walk in purpose what are we struggling Oh me well the problem stuff in the Garden of Eden where mankind was first created God for mankind in His image so that we could relate to God we could be in fellowship with God's we had in motion we had insulation we had free will we had spirit we had eternity we had to adjust and we were created male and female so we can reproduce so we could be a family the Bible says Adam and his wife were both naked and they no shame that was like this is me this is all me I don't know if they were muscular or skinny up thing I don't know the size of his manhood oversized of Upper East Side I don't want to square up his chin on the curve of her hips but you know what this is me and I'm not ashamed I'm authentically me cuz something like this won't wake up they made a choice to do what God asked them not to do and for the first time they built this thing called sin 3G shame is a feeling of embarrassment now you see something in me I don't want use this is Genesis chapter 3 it says now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals that the Lord God had made if we know later in the Bible that lets us know that this serpent was Satan working through this serpent and he said to the woman we were all created the animals and mankind it was just one big happy family and woman really say you must not eat from the trigger guard and what was his back to him look Nate I'm glad to say that we can eat anything that is done well that didn't say don't eat the tree of the fruit that's the divisive garb that one over there he said don't don't touch it you won't die if you tell them would you eat it too as a big open it you could be just like him which was stupid cuz we were already like we said you go back I can't have it nobody sees mom guys I don't know the difference between good and evil basically there was only good it was all good no good and evil the devil really told it what what's up you don't know good and evil down in other words you don't know some things about yourself that you don't know right now and they said you're no good and evil so the woman looks sad if you see the tree still for food it looks good and it ends and it's gonna give her this wisdom it's gonna make it by God so she took us up on his she ate she gave us her husband and he ate and the Bible says in their house but now they know the difference between good and bad between good and evil and they realize this ah now there's something ugly about their head I'll take it see they realized they were naked so they sewed fig leaves together and they begin to cover themselves up so then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord and he called God the other one got you something wrong and then you come on do come God he's walking in the garden Khulna Degas he's gonna hang out with them on that day and they hid from the Lord behind the trees of the car and I said where are you not that he didn't go well we heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked you're a firm entry I command you not to eat from so let's see then what happened was dead ever since sin into the world we have built this thing called shame [Music] with hosts many of us back to be our authentic selves is she shave is a powerful painful emotion it brings with it the fear of rejection the need for approval the need for validation it brings with it a fear of abandonment and the feeling that you're just not good enough it brings shyness increased withdrawal inquiry self-hatred it grates insecurities we're taught to be ashamed of ourselves you know we have you know what we do wrong shouldn't what is the difference and being ashamed of what you did and being ashamed of who there's a difference between being ashamed of what you did you should be ashamed of what did but but not ashamed of who we are it's the temple that makes us ashamed of who we are the shame is only supposed to be there to make you feel bad about what you did so you wouldn't do it again but again the devil has twisted this day and he's made us ashamed of who we are and that's a painful debilitating thing to try to live with being ashamed it's not at all these things about shaming then we're not going to do body shaming and age shaming the social media talks about shaming and kids will kill themselves when a bully who's ashamed bully is not really so much about hurting people physically cyber bullying is about shooting yeah why do you have an intimidating anybody with your presence it's just the shape kids kill themselves over sheep it's a powerful thing it's uncomfortable to be seen and sin brought into the world the question is how did mankind handle this powerful thing cause she well first they covered up but they put on fig leaves went to the big tree it's dark but lead together to cover up what they didn't want the other person to see and I was reading something about drag queens and nobody's offended by this as Greece about drag queens and I don't condone the lifestyle there was something in their philosophy of their culture that that struck me is true but they basically say that everybody's a drag queen and I think was preponed although much what it was but one said we were born naked and everything else is drink it's drag so we said I might be a band that's covered myself up and it's the same with those of us who have experienced shame we stuff to cover up but we don't want anybody else to see so we cover up with shyness we cover up with anger we cover up by being a workaholic we cover up by chasing money we cover up with that attitude we cover up with that company personality we cover up I feel you're too nice we cover up by being too weak we cover up by being macho we cover up by being the controller you're covering up your shame because you're trying to make me think that that quality that you don't like is not there so so so would you cover it up I fold it though with your feet leaves everything don't even know the authentic anybody that's been very sane man I hired you think this my mites are people when I work with you in church I'm working with your feelings it is the cover-up that's not the real you so first they covered it up and then they hid some of you been hiding all your life you're hiding from you use the talents because you don't want them rejected you're hiding from your colleague because you don't want to fail you're hiding from people because of your insecurities and your shame you're hiding from relationships and friendships because somebody hurt you once so how did we handle this chain we cover it up and we we coming up and every here so that's all got a place for you says I'm not a stranger to the dark hideaway they say we don't want your broken parts I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars right away they say no one will love you as you so get you some when you come and hide nobody even gets to know you that's what you've become because what we see the truth of it is that's not me when I'm coming up and I'm hiding That's not me the anger the fear the meanest the divisiveness that's not me that's pretty please the hair the nail the eyelashes the makeup the design that's the people just spending money this way they patrol to potentials s nothing that's the discharges the insecurity the isolation the depression the being over the night thou myself to be taken advantage of that's not me that's the big leaves that's me trying to do with the shame they'll stay with me I'm sick of you two years of therapy I don't want you to see me I refuse to be vulnerable and just be out there I refuse to let myself get set up for failure or rejection they're not gonna talk about me that won't save me and I won't expose me they not gonna hurt me so I've covered up but what you want to see or I'll hide the real beat so you don't see me at all I'll protect myself by any means necessary so you can't even get to the real me that's why fokin meeting by the way that's why go talk crazy to you that's how people thank you all up it's you that's why you so sister can't nobody say nothin to you that's big please you're not even gonna let anybody get close enough to see the real you I protect myself by any means necessary but if I don't become who I really am I'm not the authentic me that God created and I'll never walk in purpose so I'll never truly please God I'll never bring your glory I'll never be a to anybody in the kingdom and if I never become who I'm meant to be and fulfill my purpose but which I was created then I become unnecessary so here's the bottom line for today we were created in the image and the likeness of God and it was good we were all created to predict to play a specific role in the world to pray specific role in the kingdom of God our purpose in life is to use that uniqueness that authentic you to worship God to serve others and to enjoy life to bring God glory you're supposed to use you for worship evangelism fellowship discipleship with ministry those are the five purposes that everybody has you're supposed to use the authentic youth to lead people to Christ to change it's a purpose and we all do that differently depending on who we really are but sin and the results of sin have caused us to be ashamed of ourselves and we all have morphed into something that we are not and that keeps us from our purpose we've not been ourselves most of us have days we'll bring out ourselves we said I'm just not myself today how does not myself today but imagine that you live most of your life yeah so many others they haven't been myself this year some of y'all say I have a bit myself this whole decade some of you really honestly say I haven't been myself for the last twenty plus years I haven't been myself since that happen to me I have a good myself since that was said to me I haven't been myself since that embarrassed me I haven't picked myself just that thing feelings me I haven't been myself just it proves to me I have a bit myself since they hurt me I have to pick myself does that situation of crushed me traumatized me I cook it up I've been hidden away I have a bit myself and my purpose has been hit like I said I've been living life with this fake personality of what I think people want for me trying to be loved but not really being known trying to please people or I've been angry and rebellious or stuff what this did I'm defending myself claiming that this person that you don't like don't care because this is me deal with it differently that you don't care that people don't like you you're contended that you don't care that can't nobody get along with you so this is me just deal with it that's not you at all we saw your relationships up your world is smaller than it should be your purpose is not being fulfilled that's all right I don't think this man and the rest of us have just made do so here's the facts about me all in Jesus Christ knows the authentic weak he wants you back to your original design but you have to pass him you have to ask the Holy Spirit to help you don't beat you and when he tells you look that's not you believe it never change it I want to just do my time and I really thought this thing was me I have a certain way of looking at life and I'll be transparent don't say I had a nasty mind and so I could take anything and twisted and making sexual in my mind that was devil's whip out my words and I was sitting on this up came on TV and and I put it in my mind and made it dance - and that's what I call control of because and I chuckle to myself I said I laughed and I said and the Holy Spirit said that's not you if any of you when the Holy Spirit but yes to tell you this that you're doing right now it's really not the real clean work we're doing right spirited me this is not me lord I wonder what put it in my purpose and I can't put this deformity of Who I am it be I think do it but this I can't do it but this sucker up so you know who I am the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked oh it's not me thinking that this is me this is not me somebody early this said we got so used to answer to your nickname do you think that's your name that's not your name but they caught it in so much you answer to my family taught me neither and as I know I don't people know because if they call me leave it that means you know me all my life and I answer to them y'all change my name to mr. I answered a pastor like Hester's my name and you can whatever that nickname that's the temple call to be even too deep whatever name that the temple we called you he gave you a nickname but he begin to conform you into this person that's not you he gave you a nickname and you've been hassling to that nickname so long you think that's true but just like I have a government day I got a totally thing get on your domain name that's what you ready for something you would have to do it I put out the government [Applause] that way when I was created to be they are fixing me hell no Jesus Christ loves the authentic all that love them chasing hope deeper there's only never guilty pleas and your cover-ups and your hidden stars there are people who love you don't get me wrong there are people who love you but since they don't even know things with you don't put all your confidence in what I say that the only Jesus comes the authentic you I'm talking about that truth of God unconditional love Jesus me golden I can truly say I love you just the way you are just the way I created you gee coz then I see behind the fig leaves and I love you I see me all day gratitude security I love you Jesus would be your first love because he loved you first before to see the father's shame before the missiles before the cover-up no one has or ever will no one has only Jesus the authentic me so Lydia first in your life make room for you don't choose to continue to distort yourself for people who don't even know the authentic you you just start yourself removing yourself is shifting your step for people that don't even know you don't choose to continue to do that bad bad you don't even know you so quick contorting yourself for you only Jesus knows the all tensions the only Jesus Christ loves the authentic me and only in Jesus Christ can I be the authentic there's nothing like being who you to be this is such a freedom there's such a joy in media then take me there there's there there's excitement there it's a feeling like nothing you've ever experienced this no shame this no insecurities there's no fear there's no secrets there's no hiding you're walking in purpose you knowing that your love you know you're accepted in the beloved and emotionally you're naked and unashamed and like the song says another round of books just hit my skin what far away cuz today I won't let this change sink in he said I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies this is me I am the authentic me this is where God wants us to be to where you can really be they are fitted you that's what we've been doing for the last three months trying to get to the place we can finally be ourselves and so today our prayer is for those of you who may be living with shame hopefully some of you can admit today and that's been your issue that you've been covering up you know they come by too close you know I'm glad to see you you cover it up with which is where you're coming up with your swag you cover it up and you're here it's when you cover it up with your fear you to nice that you've been you to me but all that is not so you've been sitting back and you haven't been yourself in a long time afraid of what that's going to be afraid of failure afraid of feeling like you're not good enough and that's what I want to pray for today then won't lay hands on you today but I don't need to lay hands on all Jesus did will speak the word Jesus said I all I got to do is it speaking out and if i speaking out we do it so we're gonna be so they don't have any chrome well brief you right where you are if you don't have to live like this I need the Holy Spirit to walk down those house right now and cook your heart that you have not been yourself that you've been walking it shamed and you've been lying to yourself saying that you don't care what people think or you know you care what people think about you and you can try to get people to love you there is so father in the name of Jesus God whether they're listening my gosh drink out of there at this altar there in this building Holy Spirit we give you our complete hearts we give you our complete mind I come against the spirit of anger of arrogance great opposition of business shyness lip draw to you not being good enough the funeral protection the fear of abandonment I come against depression I come against anxiety I come against it in the name of Jesus break down the hearts of people so they our hands to a pill right now I take my heart and I lift it up to you right now if it's not you take it out of me I want to be real I want to be real I wouldn't be comfortable being real I want to be authentically meaning God it is so much in my life this is just not me and I surrender to you God in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus God I need you two to two years of therapy in a moment in a moment shut the doors and takes it out of our lives if there is anyone here today that is not really that original prayer this is Lord Jesus forgive me of my sins and I want to be seen we're going to do that right now we just do it all together if you don't know Jesus as your Savior in other words if you if you don't have the

Jvn2thIVrUU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvn2thIVrUU | Woodbury Select Board: February 8, 2021 | the clock um i'd like to open up the meeting and i have uh one adjustment that i'd like to make to the agenda um skip is here he would like to um nominate someone a fellow named michael sadler to be on the planning commission sorry i thought maybe we could do that after maverick's perfect for that presentation uh any other adjustments to the agenda i'm good i'm good all right any public comment at all don't hear any okay so do i hear a motion to approve the bills to the town yes i'll do second then brian i'll second it okay all in favor bye hi okay and do i hear a motion to approve the minutes from the january 25th uh 2021 select board meeting i'll i'll make that motion okay one second all those in favor aye aye aye um so maverick um you are a co-host and we're ready to to see what you have to show us thank you and do you know one here i guess most everybody has a name um on use on my screen um the top row is brian chatney the select board member myself michael gray and then paul cerruti hello he's also a psych board member to your right on my screen is skip lindsay he's the chair of the planning commission and to your left is chuck batchelder he's our road commissioner and on the bottom left is diana paducy she is the town clerk and then this ju ju zzcc that's a robin durkee she's just kind of listening in and i have a feeling the other maverick murphy might be your dad i'm not sure yep okay good so you have the screen okay uh thanks for inviting me um my name is maverick murphy i'm a resident of woodbury a graduate of woodbury elementary and i'm currently a sophomore at hazen union i'm interested in learning more about woodbury's history and i'd also like some community service for the town by creating an interactive map so currently on the woodbury town website there is a map that has some town buildings lakes and ponds and other points of interest but the new map would expand organize and add more information to that map uh and that would be also included on the town website um it would be helpful to residents and tourists or visitors and also town officials or educators so right now i have six basic categories that could be included in the map we can add on to this in the future or take some away if you think they're unnecessary so the first one is historic homes second one is historic districts the third one is lakes and ponds for fishing swimming or boating um the fourth one is vast trails um for snowboarding or sorry snowmobiling or skiing fifth is hiking trails and then lastly sixth is businesses so i've created a sample map to kind of show you what it would be like i've only added a few different sites in each of the categories but i can share my screen to just show you what it looks like right now so this is the overview of woodbury i don't have any of these categories on the left selected um to view the different layers there are these check boxes um so those can be selected to see the separate levels or layers i mean um i created this map using google maps which i have access to through my ossu account but i believe the town would also be granted access because they're an organization so if we want to just view the first category here historic sites and structures we can just select this box right here and you see all these houses pop up on the map i've color coordinated these also each of the categories so historic sites and structures i've chosen that to be black as you can see all the icons are black and then the separate icon shapes represent different things for example this is a sort of historic house and then this right here could represent a barn or a complex of houses and different structures i base these historic sites and structures off of the surveys done by the state of vermont division for historic preservation um from the 1980s uh that are also included as files on the woodbury website but maverick your your mic is muted okay can you hear me now yes yes um so i've used the surveys off the town website and transferred the information onto these historic houses right here so just as an example we can look at the prior farm right here um when one of these areas or houses is selected it highlights it on the map so you can see where it is and for each house i've included the address of the house the date it was built and also the architectural style and then down here in the photos if you click on these you're able to see photos of the house taken when the surveys were done so in the early 80s and then also i've included the images of the surveys and i've done that for each of the house houses and also the historic districts which we can look at next so historic districts the second level or second layer and i've used the line feature to do these so if we click on this we can see that the historic district is outlined by this white line and again i've used information from the historians surveys to get the information for these houses and something different about this one is i just included the historical significance which i also got off of the surveys on the town website so you just want to learn about this one it's a community created from immigrants to work on the woodbury quarry i thought that was pretty interesting and then again we have the photos the date it was built and i've also included the original owner for this one um back to the map the next category is lakes and ponds so we can zoom out again to see where this is in woodbury and nelson pond that's another or that's one pond near my house so i just chose that one for an example if we click on it it will highlight it on the map and then this pop-up menu on the left side of the page comes up with more information about this specific lake um and i got this information off of the vermont fish and wildlife website and i think it'd be useful to people coming to boat or fish and then i also included the type of fish in the lake which i think would be important for fishermen you can embed links in the google maps so for this i included a separate resource which was um a depth chart from the vermont gov website so we just click on this we can see it brings you to a depth chart which is pretty interesting um so back to the map uh i think this is pretty much it for nelson pond uh i also made these all of the lakes and ponds would be blue this blue color i thought that just kind of represented ponds well um next is hiking trails for this one i again use the line feature on google maps to just map out what the trail kind of looks like from an overview and i chose nichols ledge just because i'd visited it and i had pictures taken of it uh just as an example and in the description i included the trail length difficulty and the seasons it's open and then this picture my brother took i included this one also um just so people would never been there could see what the top was like because that's the nicest part um back to the map next one is vermont association of snow travelers or vast trails i have very little information about the vast trails so far but i just included a section by my house that i just knew um i believe that the mountain tamers are the organization that uh maintains the trails in woodbury and that's true yeah if this idea is approved i would like to reach out to them to see if they have more maps of um the complete trail map of all the trails um the vast trails in woodbury yeah so this is i'm sorry i have i have the name of the person to contact for the mountain tamer so i'll get that to you okay thank you um lastly businesses um i just added three as an example we can look at the sheep shop right now this icon could indicate a retail store which is what this is yeah the type of business i included contact information and also the website address yeah so that's pretty much it for now um i'll continue to add more points if this idea is approved and i'll also reach out to people possibly by frontward form to see if people have more information about town or sorry ponds and lakes or hiking trails or local businesses just to make sure i get everything in the map and i have all the information and i'd be happy to teach any authorized user or town official how to use this or how to edit it in the future it's a pretty simple website to use um yeah and i'd be happy to hear any feedback or questions or ideas you guys have yeah i have i have one comment comment maverick um and maybe some others as i think about it some more but seeing the uh trail up to the top of nichols ledge um i know that's basically on private land it's not a public trail and i know there was an issue a number of years ago there was some kind of bus touring group that publicized that trail and we're bringing tour groups up there and the the property owner or actually the person who manages the property for the property owner um asked them to take that information off their listing because i mean there is a trail there and the people that own it do not mind people going up there but they they did not want it to be publicized just for i guess for liability issues i'm not sure um so this may become an issue with other sites that we might want to put on there we may i mean i can look into that maybe diana has some thoughts about private property that gets listed some of these places are private homes that um still exist in you know the old historical buildings and um and yet they are on our website so there may be some privacy issues public use issues that um you know we may need to get clearance for so that's just uh something that i'm aware of um and the nichols ledge trail kind of brought that up for me yeah i'd be happy to look into that or contact the homeowners if that's what needs to be done i'm not sure what steps you would take yeah that's another possibility and we could try to help you with that too um yeah so i you know i think this is a great great idea it'll be a great asset i think and it's i love the different um layers to it where you can kind of go to other other information you know like the thing with nelson pond and seeing the depth levels that was that's kind of cool um yeah so yeah very good idea this is very nice yeah yes maverick what kind of approval were you looking for um just to keep working on it i didn't want to get too far along or to include it on the town website whatever do you do you need any kind of town approval for the for your school at all i don't believe so okay i'll reach out to you if i do but not that i know of yeah i mean i certainly don't have any objections and um i don't know how brian and paul no no no no no objections yeah so yeah so we're definitely skip do you have a question can't hear you skip did skip break the internet it can't hear you he did he knows how to fix it we know a good computer guy he does a show with being muted no still not able to hear you skip i can't hear there should be a sign for that like that was a good one diana [Laughter] looks like his screen might be frozen too he might have a connection connectivity issue yeah thank god this is a great idea maverick um yeah yeah maybe long overdue oh thanks skip can you hear us now you can we can't hear you he can always just email me if his uh microphone doesn't end up working he does have your email address still can't hear you skip he's probably got your wood-fired internet there mike [Laughter] so this would be a maverick you would work on this for a while longer before it goes on the website right yeah i think the best idea maybe would to or would be to add it in stages because i think if i really did want to continue with this it could last for a few years um but i don't think you guys would want to wait that long to post it so yeah you could work as a permanent fixture for you to work on yes webmaster we need a new one okay we do actually um so maverick i also um let the central vermont regional planning commission know of this project there's a great contact person there um her name is pam de andrea and i can give you her contact information if you'd like to to contact her she is pretty much um ahead of the her gis i can never remember what that stands for but she's uh her one of her things is is making maps um and she might be a good advisor if you if you wanted to ask questions and then um you know the planning commission um this community mapping forum that we'll be doing next tuesday you'll get to see a couple of folks from fish and wildlife who work with town planning but also do a lot of work with maps so it's pretty amazing um what they're able to do there's also another agency of natural resources map sources called bio finder it is more related to natural resources but that's another great set of maps to um to play around with i'm not sure if you're aware of those or not but um there's there's probably more like you said there's more information that you than you would probably ever want to know about on some of those but um but but those are other resources and i'll i'll put together like a little kind of uh connecting or contact sheet that i'll i'll send to you okay okay cool good yeah you know we're we're underserved so much in woodbury you know with internet but anyhow maverick i have access to the 9-1-1 mapping system for the entire state and it's it's a gis based map application that's freeware in that you know everyone in the state pays for it so i can send you a link and within that map application are layers including what you had mentioned vast trails so it'll show you the vast trails through woodbury okay and all you have to do is click on the layers and upload among other things vast trails or what other churches anything you really i think could utilize in your project and i'll send you that link and perhaps you and i can you know get together for like 15 minutes and i can show you how to you know cruise around on the app and lean from it what you need yeah absolutely thank you you're welcome another thing that people might be interested in is uh property lines with that we do have access to those are all public information on the and our website and also on our website can keep you busy for a while yeah that that mapping 911 so if you really want to get granular with your project you can get right down to the parcel granular yes yeah that's really granular yes this is well and i'm really delighted that you're uh taking up this project and and willing to to help the town um you know have a really uh interesting map to play around with um it'll be a great addition to the website yeah i'm happy to do it yeah great you said you're a sophomore yeah that has okay so you got a couple more years okay you so and any time that you get stuck or need some help or um just have questions you know contact any any of us really and um we'll try to to either connect you to the person to answer it or try to answer it ourselves anything that we can do to help um you know we'd be glad at least speaking for myself i'm sure everyone else feels the same would be glad be glad to do that absolutely good thank you thank you thank you any any other questions um for maverick at all i'm good i'm good do you have any other questions at all maverick for or comments that you'd like to share before we move on to the next agenda item all right now i have your email though so okay okay all right nice to meet you and thank you very much look forward to seeing the fruits of your labor yes okay see ya so um next on the agenda skip i'm going to give you the screen um hey the screen i don't need the screen instead of the floor no thank you thank you for giving me the screen so i know you folks probably understand that we're in the throes of putting together a town plan so right now there are five members of the planning commission and a gentleman reached out to me a woman named michael sadler he's recently moved into south woodbury and he reached out and he wanted to know some information the planning commission and he's really keen on joining us and helping us through with this project and then long-term staying on the planning commission uh you know to help with the zoning issues that that are going to crop up after the town plan gets gets authorized and approved so he's a new resident woodbury and you know his his credentials are impeccable let me just pull them out they're pretty amazing yeah he currently works for the state of vermont he's an environmental analyst and he's more mostly focused on technical reviews of permitting documents design recommendation compliance inspections design analysis hydro cads regularly regulatory assistance he's he deals mostly with storm water and storm water runoff issues but his uh background he's a has a background in project management which is great you know he and i have is that it's not here it's my stomach so you know he's a project manager as well he understands gantt charts oh my god yeah i know i was just granular geek pants you're in heaven yeah he you know he was great he actually knew what a task was in a milestone payment milestone you know so anyhow we had we had a nice chat good so you know i highly recommend that the select board authorize uh this gentleman to join the planning commission i think he would be a tremendous asset especially no diana you can't i'm not voting i'm just raising my hand especially where we are now in the in the town plan rewrite you need authority to increase the membership of the planning commission from five to seven you might check this out well i checked it out diana yes did you think i wasn't going to check it out well some people might not know that's even an issue no you can have up to nine members in a planning commission yeah lending commission you know the appointees are appointed by the legislative body in a town or a municipality or city whatever that is so we have the three select board members here and they can appoint just by uh they can do it unanimously or two out of three but they have the authority to appoint folks to the planning commission right and conversely they have authority to ask people to leave the planning commission as well so so brian michael is a neighbor of ours i don't know if you know him or not we don't he lives down he um in david david zahn's house okay partner of um david's daughter all right they're they're the folks that walk that big dog by the our houses go by yeah um is that the ridgeback is that the rhodesian ridgeback it could be it's a big dog i don't know what it is so are you looking to have him appointed tonight yes yep i'm in favor of that i'll make that motion okay i'll second that motion any any more discussion at all about that all right all those in favor thank you great i'll i'll drop him an email and start feeding him all the information we have for the energy plan which is in final draft mode and then all the information regarding uh where we are right now in the project okay could you send me his email address also there's a meeting for um coming up um actually it's this friday for some of the projects down in the village some of the erosion mitigation projects and knowing of his background i'd like to invite him to just sit in on it if if he would sure if he can yeah he was he cautioned me that anything that might interfere with his state job he would recuse himself you know and that's that's only natural that you know he wants to preserve his his employment with the state and you know i totally get that yeah so you can extend him the invitation he may or may not yeah to join you okay yeah it may not work it's kind of a late date to try to schedule something too yeah yeah but he's going to be great you know yeah as soon as he said he knew what a gantt chart was he had my vote that sold you huh i don't want to know [Music] okay well i still don't know paul and i sort of know what they are but i still i'm at the point where it's like i know enough for now well you know i could teach you but i don't know i'm slow you may not want to know it might it might work well with your if you get your fire department funded this is true this is true i could write a project plan for the construction area oh perfect building but then timelines and stuff yeah perfect yeah so anyhow well thank you so much thank you thank you appreciate your time and uh i'll be signing off okay have a good night see ya bye bye so town clerk's report that's you yeah pressure's on pressure's on here we go on my list my list not very short perfect so i was all this crazy stuff that keeps changing i'm learning every day last week i learned that our printer uh l browning company can uh not only print our uh print address and mail our town reports they can also i contacted this other mailing company to talk about mailing the ballots and then i found out that l brown can also stuff our envelopes print the name on the envelope for every voter in town and send it out at their highly reduced postage rate so i don't have to be robin and i don't have to be spending this week stopping envelopes perfect so it sounds good yeah one stop shopping sounds good so our postcard that was i was hoping that the postcard would go out earlier but you know anyways postcard went out i think on friday i got ours today yeah we got ours today and then the town report and the envelope with all the ballasts in it should be in the mail within the next few days sometime later this week i hope perfect yeah so uh we wait till you see the ballots for the school district and hazen a little complicated oh they put in all this little stuff i wish i really wish i had reached out to them and say why do we have to vote on paying zero dollars to the school board i mean that's just people are going to be so confused but yeah what whatever i didn't do it and nobody else thought to do it they just i mean they do australian balance all the time but they've always only done the budget by australian ballot i don't know when these other important decisions got made like whether or not to pay the school board or 2 500 to pay the school board treasurer anyways now we're all gonna have to do those so there's going to be a lot of uh counting i'm sorry for alberta on the town meeting night it's going to be a nightmare but does the school ballot counting go somewhere else yeah it all goes to here okay so there's a double-sided ballot for hardwood for hazen and a double-sided ballot for uh the elementary union district wow so there'll be two uh two boxes to call out to hardwick and i'm gonna try to line up a few more extra helpers for um to help with accounting they have to do it in the fire department because they're not allowed to use a school so i don't know how she's going to manage to spread out a lot of people in that fire department i guess they're gonna have to take everything out they got quite a bit of room behind some of their rigs on one side yeah i've only been in there when we were doing the dog registration and then they only opened up the front part yeah no they got they got quite a bit of space down there hopefully there won't be a fire while there's that would throw a little wrench in the works probably outside yeah you never know so diane i'm willing to volunteer for the torture of going there and helping with the ballot counting okay um i'm gonna try to get steve to do it too because he's the one that signed that ballot for the uh he's right here we're gonna have him take the hazen box out there there was something else so anyways i followed up you know i didn't come right out and ask whether every of every whether we had to put return postage on the envelopes hardwick is doing it and greensboro isn't so yeah we're already different yeah yeah and the ballot um the ballot is filled out well there uh is a nominee for a select board his name is chris codius oh wow he's a geology professor lives down the road here um where john bremen used to live they gotta go okay they've been here a while and uh so he was there's still two auditor positions where there's no candidate and two cemetery commission positions where there's no candidates oh i know the other thing is after all this learning of stuff last week i finally decided that we can use the tabulator okay so our part is going to be a lot easier i went through all this trouble to try to minimize the ballot so we wouldn't have a counting nightmare and now it doesn't matter just going to use the tabulator but the only thing that could make it complicated if there's a lot of write-ins and because we do have a select word nominee now um hopefully there won't be a ton of write-ins every time there's a write-in that balance has to be counted by hand got it could could the ossu actually get a tabulator for you know i talked to alberta about that a while ago and i said you know she i said at the time i said you could even borrow ours because i wasn't planning to use it your ballots are not made up in the right way they weren't but they couldn't they could be they could have been but but i don't think the people who made up the balance that ossu had any idea what the options were yeah yeah oh well oh well so thank you michael for bringing that black beast upstairs sure couple weeks you can bring it down to the town hall okay sure robin i gotta remember to have you uh put the turn the water back on there just holler to me when they're ready oh okay now i can do it you do that yeah oh okay well i turned our valve on hopefully there's no leaks on the other side so all the warnings are posted i sent the warning in the woodbury email list the uh person from the lhs who the people that do the tabulator um our ballots are printed by l brown and they know how to do it they did all the ballots for the general election for the whole state so what they do when we get ours so i finally gave her the go ahead last monday when i got that last name and they'll uh print up the ballots and they send a handful of them down to lhs which is the company that programs the tabulators and then they'll send us either send us or bring us those cards that go in the tabulator okay so hopefully it'll go smoothly hopefully yeah any anything else diana any any questions for diana thank you for taking care of all that diana well it's been it's been interesting lots of new and different stuff i'm trying to keep uh robin up today although she won't have a uh i mean the new clerk won't have uh another election for a couple of years we're hoping things to be less interesting in the next year right that's my hope yeah everything's going to go back to normal it needs to be less interesting with that interesting for a while yeah really okay okay so um i don't see brandy here so i'm just going to briefly um she read off some just some figures that she printed out for me to share um so for uh revenue to the town from the last couple of weeks um let's see cash receipts total um 2 917 delinquent taxes collected a total 2 613. and fifty one cents um and then um payroll totaled um ten thousand nine hundred and fifty three dollars and accounts payable uh totaled um ten thousand eight hundred and ninety four dollars um so so she transferred a forty five thousand dollars from the money market fund into the general fund um and then uh just some updates from um from brandy that she created an invoice um for the uh grant that the conservation commission got for the town trail and i think it finally it did get all filled out um and she sent it in to the um the agency that's overseeing the grant and is still waiting for a payment for that a reimbursement basically um there's an equipment grant um that um trying to get some other things checked off on the list of i remember it was a like month or two ago there was this list of different things passive came through and they inspected the town office and the town garage and some of the other town buildings and they had um recommendations to remedy different uh situations that they um they were concerned about one was behind the firehouse i think that the fire department took care of cutting out the tree that was touching the building yep tim higgins apparently will be coming to the town office to rectify some electrical things that they pointed out and then there's a string of things down at the town garage they'll probably go down and show them to greg and get them to take care of those did you have a question diana well greg was here today and he saw brandy's note and he said it was his understanding that all that stuff was finished they had taken pictures of it and sent it to larry smith at the lct okay all right leave it that's right the same thing okay yeah i believe it has been taken care of craig and i were over there doing it one day okay good all right well then i won't do that sounds like he's already done it whatever randy has an email that has to be responded to i guess yeah because they they have what they'll want is a plan of corrective action or you to send them a note saying it's all been repaired yeah there's some type of ford that she has to fill out yeah and then um the reason that the town will get reimbursed 50 of any costs that we the town incurred in uh making those corrections so that's why brandy's kind of on this to get to get the uh everything completed um i guess if we don't complete everything um the town would get 40 but you know brandy's going for the 50 so that's good yeah so um okay yeah he didn't tell us that when the guy came around making all those recommendations yeah i didn't know that from the first first time it was presented to us but i do know so good um okay and that's pretty much all that um that she had for me to share so i think we're good with the town treasure report any any questions about that at all not that i'd be able to answer them but no and we all i got my little packet from herself okay all right the reading materials right here want to read it okay um did you have a question robin no okay all right so i guess we can move on um to the town highway report and i'll give you the screen chuck the moment uh yeah i don't have much to say i haven't i tried calling greg today and i missed him and i haven't talked to him for over a week um with the lowepro i called greg and told him we were going to put smaller tires on it and he told he told me that he had talked to uh charlie boyce and that that truck could be ordered with that size tires or 1100 tires on it and he gave me the number and i called them and the guy down there said that the tire size wouldn't make any difference with okay so greg and i decided that you know they're all mounted up all on it that we're going to leave them if we do we'll do it in spring right okay yeah um other than that that's better i i at our last select board meeting there was in the bills that looked like we had paid for the um the mower brush cutter is that true have we have we ordered that paid for it or yeah i i'm gonna payment in advance oh they did we paid the bill yeah okay yeah that should be here sometime in the end the second two weeks april first week of may or something perfect good all right yeah with that we'll put it right to work oh yeah yeah as soon as the roads are hard enough to hold the loader up yeah uh one thing i think we need to think about maybe next month the greater we're having a problem losing antifreeze and we think we got that because the pressure cap was bad on the radiator but the air compressor is putting a fair amount of oil into the air tanks and i think we need to talk to caterpillar about having the air compressor replaced on that okay and i would like to see it happen before it was time to put it to work okay agreed do you think it should happen before like if we get more snow i know they often use that to push the banks back would it be good to try to get it fixed before that oh it won't make that much difference it'll make that much difference okay uh when may when it gets working every day yeah gonna be working every day yeah okay so um i'm thinking maybe that i'll get a hold of caterpillar and see about making an appointment for them to go up and at least check it out okay yeah sounds good yeah yeah get her done soon as possible yeah well yeah sometime in march i'd like to see it done in march yeah by the end of march so but i'll call them some day this week okay i got a couple emails just complimenting the road crew on the condition of the roads this winter nice yeah and i passed along for me they've been they've been doing a pretty good job uh they've kept it and it's the the time frames we need the roads taken care of they're keeping them taken care of and and coming again if they need to so it's it's uh you can pass along they're doing a good job good i will oh well uh greg and i talked about it quite a lot last sunday um kelsey silk called and couldn't get his car home yeah and he had to come out on a sunday and say that greg said there weren't really any need to but yeah i called him and asked him to so okay yeah that's a chronic problem for that person that's what i hear yeah cause i got the call and before i could talk to him he'd called you apparently that day oh yeah he's already taken care of it yeah yeah so other than that that's about all we got i'm glad to hear they're doing a good job yeah yeah lucky there hasn't been much snow yeah well last two weeks we're having that one to two inches a day type snow which is a pain yeah just painter in the butt yeah um i i can't think of anything else i guess anybody have any questions for chuck at all no i'm good no okay good so um we'll move on to the personnel policy and i'll get that up on the screen i think we could just i did incorporate changes that we had discussed in previous meetings and paul i got in the things that you sent i just i got them deciphered yeah yeah yeah talk about them yeah so let me get that up on the screen here hang on a second i do that share screen um hang on uh let me go back here there uh there it is okay so i want to get rid of this um hang on i got to get rid of faces here so i can see the thing um well okay um i should be able see if i can make this thing move now okay so let's get to so um i'll stop when i see some red so under there are different parts where the um road foreman had been designated um as this direct supervisor so i changed those to rogue commissioner um i think there's just a couple spots um so all of this that we're looking at now is all you know for hiring somebody new and kind of the steps that we would want to follow that they're designated in the personnel policy so we'll be dealing with this when we uh when we initiate um a third full-time employee so this stuff will what's your pro pro uh the probation period how long is that uh six months if i remember right let's get yeah right there yep now all new town employees uh six month probationary period um and then during that period the employee can be terminated at any time um for any reason really does that have to include in any plowing before they can get off their probation well i guess it depends on when they start yeah that would be the issue yeah so and i think we're looking to have someone start probably for summer well the budget pass we could start that july first right right yeah so it could probably include some of um we'll figure that out but that's a good point robin we might want to have um the six month period take in a little bit of winter plowing um i think you should okay all right all right so we'll at some points at some point soon um we should probably get that on the agenda and start um you know talking discussing um yeah hiring of a third five because after town meeting day you know we're assuming that budget passes and we can start working on that would probably be the appropriate time that would be the appropriate time yeah yeah okay uh so let's see so these are all stuff that we read and forget pretty much um some of it's kind of boilerplate so okay so here we go um so this is pretty much what we've been working on chuck as the paid leave time um and there are a bunch of different categories so um everything that's in red in this section um has been on the the revision for a while now we looked at it this summer i added i just added a definition for employees because technically the only real employees that are a part of the personnel policy are the town highway department members the road crew and then um this other section for um green is is one of the changes that we discussed this summer fall about um let's see that that paid leave time with the exception of sick time and i just put that in it it seemed like if somebody's sick they probably don't need to get permission from the road commissioner um they shouldn't have to i wouldn't think yeah yeah especially in our covid times so but any other paid leave time basically um that they would need approval from the road crusher so i would just say instead of having it as suggested just make that a mandatory language okay employee shall request paid leave time on a day for day basis okay um oh suggested right so right here actually i wonder if i can change it to more of a mandatory language right let's see if i could do that right now uh no pressure yeah no okay i'll i'll remember that hopefully that's an easy one because that would leave it up to someone's opinion and we didn't want to do that right that i'm aware of of that type of wording yeah so let me just make a note so i remember um so and i i'm going to get a copy of that that uh request form from uh brandy so that we could have that right in the um you know in the end in the personnel policy probably in one of the appendixes at the end or um so i kept the wording for the day for day basis um put an example in um but then um again this is kind of a suggested thing the last sentence requests for leave leave are best made as far in advance as possible to ensure that that's good okay yeah yeah i like that yeah okay all right so um let's see moving on here where's the uh whoops hang on went too far come on okay so we're done with it so sick time uh this is all this is nothing new that's in the red we've looked at that earlier this summer and then the criteria which were was part of the old personnel policy um and then vacation time uh hang on so we could get us back up oh god damn being fussy excuse my french or whatever i guess that's pretty much english isn't it yeah it was garbled we didn't hear it okay how can i make this go just a little bit ah you know while you're doing that i'd like to make a comment sure any time you want to make a comment diana please do oh thank you um as far as the town clerk and tom treasurer being 18 hours a week i don't really think that should be in the personnel policy i think it's really up to the clerk and treasurer how much time they need to do their job well i think that's i mean it has worked for for us for fun right the 18 hours a week is base that's kind of the pro-rated basis um but any leave time could be prorated based on the actual hour you know if the next town clerk decides she wants to work 25 hours a week and have an assistant only for four hours a week you know yeah well that's that's something that would probably need to be discussed with the select board and we could change it then um i think you know that 18 hours came from basically looking at the average number of hours that the town clerk and the town treasurer had um had um you know what they had and from timesheets i think that's where that came from well i think it would as far as i'm concerned it carried over from when marsha was here no that was a change after marcia no i remember i remember being on the select board when we did that basically those were the hours that the officers opened michael's computer's having a yeah no i i can't get it to go just it was still going nice and slow for a while okay so this is um okay i figured it out okay here we go so okay so here's vacation time um so yeah we can we can discuss this 18 hours a week um maybe when brandy's here or when robin is or when we have a new town clerk so um make that assumption so um i crossed out the line about the end of every fiscal year the town may compensate an employee for any vacation time accrued we had mentioned that we no longer wanted to do that right and that basically the only time that an employee would receive a payment for accrued vacation time is is when they um decide to leave their job right i think which is stated here um who resign the last sentence that any employee who resigns from employment with the town will be compensated for no more than 160 hours of accrued and unused vacation leave perfect yep yep okay so i'll delete that sentence and then personal time is i don't think much has changed there um this is all pretty much the same so here we are here we are comp time um so the this is in red i should have probably had it in in green the new the new text but it's pretty much um so we have actually i guess probably instead of having may i should probably have will ryan or shal yeah they shall request yeah compensatory moth from that so what the idea was and i in chucking away and we kind of talked about this some of the employees are still wanting to get comp time and what this would do is leave it at the discretion of the road commissioner if you know if someone says hey i worked eight hours today i'd like to put it in its comp time he could say yes and then it kind of sets the rules for the use of that time yeah along with our leave request policy at the discretion of the uh road commissioner or their um do we want to have some kind of written request well it would be the leave form well as far as asking for it yes i mean if if a person wanted to cash in on their comp time then they would have to use the paid leave request form but do we want to have them request the request would be the signing of the um time sheet okay if you signed the timesheet with comp time on it it would mean that it had been approved okay does the commissioner sign the sheets now no electronically or otherwise no because that's the only good i know do you were in the summer right chuck yes okay so we have to deal with the winter time again we're dealing with chuck now but this could be anybody at some point and if they decide they want it they really they all got my telephone number they really call me and say hey can i put this in compton yeah because this is kind of a middle ground to having it unlimited or just getting rid of it all together yeah yeah and again it gives us some control over when it right actually happens and yeah as long as it you've got it situated and it reads like you do that it don't get all bunched up in june i don't care right because you'd have to say yes i'm going to let you earn comp time and then you'd also have to approve when they take it yeah right so so if you know if they have it and the limit is we could limit we could make it less than 40 hours 40 hours was what was yeah that's not a bad limit that that's one week yeah one week yeah but the thing of it is you're paying them time and a half and comp time you should cut that back so you get a week off and not 40 hours of comp time well yeah they'd have to work what 30 hours to get that 40 hours yeah i don't know exactly what it is but yeah whatever i think that should be their limit that they can earn up to one 40-hour week of comp time right and that's what this is saying it's got 40 hours is the maximum yeah but that's 40 hours of comp time and that you're paying time and a half for your comp time right well when we pay comp time i believe we pay those out at straight time hours that's good no no big comp time is is basically replacing overtime right right so what i'm saying if you work an hour well how this usually works is you're working out we'll have to brandy can clear it up when if she was here but it's it's here in the text paul hang on let me get there yeah because what happens is you work an hour and you get an hour and a half of comp time that's that fixes it because the comp times paid back at straight time rates well what i'm saying is that you should limit it so that they get a week's pay for correct they can have 30 hours of comp time but they'll still get paid for move downward so we'd have to uncross this line michael where your arrow is it says comp time will be accrued at a rate of 1.5 hours of time for each hour worked okay for no more than 40 hours so what that does chuck is they would it would it would necessarily set it straight at 40 hours at straight time because they're earning it at time and a half so let's go through these terms so the first first bullet that's up here um an employee may accrue a maximum of 40 hours of comp time or do we want to say 30 hours well the next line down fixes it mike would you when you crude by when you earn it okay because if you work an hour you get an hour and a half of time yeah so you'll get to your 40 hours when they pay out that 40 hours it's at straight time because you've earned more time than what you actually work okay so we'll keep that sentence there i'll incorporate that i would put that one back because that fixes the problem that chuck had talked about okay so second bullet keep all right okay um let's just look at some of the other i see right at the next line says employee receiving payment for accrued but unused comp time will be paid at the hourly rate straight time so i guess you want to un erase that line too keep that one too okay um so and probably the fourth one yeah so it brings kind of all that stuff back in again yeah how about the very last bullet well we kind of covered that up above so we could probably take that one out okay all right so third yeah i'll look i'll i'll look at that again and redo it and then send it back out to you guys um everybody kind of on the same page yeah yeah yes okay so everything up here i think that's a good middle ground that way it's still available but if you know if the road commissioner thinks we don't need it right now you don't get it yeah so how about this second paragraph this was um kind of an explanation that that you sent paul with the state is does that sound clear to everybody and i'll explain what it means if you if you earn so if i earn an hour of comp time between july 1st of this past summer and june 30th i have the following this year and the following year to use it yeah or i would be paid for i would be told i had to use it um and so that's it's always kind of keeping a rolling a rolling average of time it your other choice is the it kind of stops the problem chuck had last year well i earned eight hours of comp time i got to use it in june nope if you earned it in this fiscal year you got the next fiscal year to use it too so you don't have to burn it up yeah that's why that's written like that and as long as there's a limit on it so that they can't earn another 40 hours in the next right it's a maximum of 40 total hours so if they got 40 hours and they say they got to take it off june 1st the only reason that would be true had been earned the previous uh fiscal year if they earned it this winter they got all next winter to use it too or all summer so just i'm just thinking of another scenario paul so if they did sit on it until let's say june uh 29th of the end of the fiscal year following when they when they um had accrued it what would be their i mean obviously they're they're going to be coming to the rogue commissioner a day ahead of time and saying i'm going to take nick i got to take a day off yeah um do we do we want to have kind of some kind of wording that um avoids that scenario well the last sentence kind of does that if for someone who's letting it build up for two years saying the talent that's basically saying the town can tell you you have to use some of this time okay we don't have to pay you okay all right that's why i figured i'd copy what someone else did because they've already been through every nuance of yes it's always helpful to see what other people have done um because again i i had this at my own work they'd let me build up too much time and they just walked up so you need to take a couple weeks off because we're not gonna pay you at the end of june so take it off okay all right we should check with brandy and see if there's some report in them wrecks that will give you a printout of i'll keep track of it yes is the one thing i also wanted to run by brandy is how to keep track of the time i know it's a little complicated but it avoids the problem of being forced to use a bunch of time at the which is what our issue is yeah so making a note of that too we'll ask for that because again i didn't really want to adopt this piece until brandy had said yes i can track it yeah we won't really adopt it until um you know brandy's had a good look at it we've had a vlct somebody from the lct sort of take a look at it and i guess i'd like to have the road crew and the town clerk and town treasurer all look at it first and uh and then once once it's sort of gone through the the hearing stage we'll call it um and then and we've got everything so that everybody's okay with it um then i think we can adopt it but right i'd like to try to get this adopted pretty much in time for um the beginning of the hiring process yeah and spring maintenance let's bring maintenance right yeah uh instead of is there any way you could change that from june 30th to june 1st you have to use it by year b by the 1st of june rather than well i think we could put any date we want in there you could have the year begin on june 1st and end on may 30 whatever you know i think i think what chuck chuck is and correct me if i'm wrong chuck but i think what chuck is thinking of is that if we have it by june 1st then there's a month left before the fiscal year ends they have to you know they have to come before the road commissioner and say you know i've only got a month left i've got 40 hours of comp time i want to take it off before the fiscal year end so then there's at least a month to figure out how to schedule it so it doesn't screw everything up i got you yep i'm game for anything it works yeah well yeah i i'm a little gun shy after last year yeah that's the issues we can't have a circumstance where everybody takes the month of june off yeah yeah that's why we're here you could even say may 1st you know if these if somebody has been sitting on the comp time for let's say almost a year or over a year um right right you know we they need to you know either make an arrangement to take it off um when it's not going to be compromising the work that needs to be done and giving you know giving them a couple months i mean a lot of people wouldn't want to take time off mud season but that's an ideal time for them to take it off right go to go someplace warm and dry so if you may first i yeah i like me first better i think okay all right we'll put that in i made a note of it so we'll get it rewritten michael then we can visit it again just when it's not so cloudy yeah we'll look at it again um next at our next meeting but i think it kind of accomplishes our goals yeah yeah i think yeah i think it does too yeah i do too i you know i don't but the guy but graduate then oh did we lose chuck we lost your sound chuck okay we lost your sound i don't know if he can hear us either oh well um there you go here you are you're my good yeah yeah this is a good um meeting meeting halfway kind of thing allows the road commissioner to turn it off if it's being misused yep yep okay okay so all right so let's move holiday stuff is pretty much set so i guess that's a question i think this question in bold here in red um is more a question for like the vlct review i think right because yeah they just wanted to make sure that it counts as hours actually work a holiday yeah okay insurance insurance gets a little confusing over who gets it and who doesn't but sometimes i think it would be easier just to have the town clerk and town treasurer have their own separate little section of what they get and don't get but uh okay so i'm this is all boilerplate stuff i'm gonna i'm trying to get to that pay chart so i'm gonna let it go slowly so i have some control over what we're doing here this is all boiler and this is this is kind of the employee discipline it's um you know if we did have a problem and there's just different steps to take um in the process of um you know like a verbal warning a written warning um and then um actually uh firing somebody and they're pretty much steps that the town should follow otherwise um there were consequences back in when harry was the road foreman we fired somebody pretty much on the spot and because we didn't follow any of these steps we were eligible for paying for unemployment insurance unemployment payments for a while um if we had followed these steps um here it is here right in this paragraph of verbal warning written warning suspension um usually that there's a meeting for them to kind of correct correct their their ways somewhere in there and then termination so let's see okay we're getting there okay so there's um okay here's here we go i'm gonna move this over so here's here's the old chart and then i put in paul the steps right so the explanation here is we had the chart and that we were assigning steps every year this chart copies the state's pay chart and their steps are based on the numbers of years you've worked um so the thought is here we either keep the steps in place and you get steps when they come and then we would negotiate our annual raises if any that we were going to do on top of that so some years you'd have employees getting steps and some years you wouldn't have employees getting steps based on how long they've been there you know so so i think to make this step chart that we have work as diana pointed out we were giving the three percent raises every year based on this chart which i don't know was the intent um the step chart copied out of the state is what fixes it or we just get rid of it and negotiate pay increases every year without steps well you could you could do both you could have a uh your little tiny cost of living raise like you did this year one correct that's what i would recommend doing you'll have some reward for people who stay for two years you know like after two years give them another step every year that's a little much but you know this is copies of the state system year one through five or one well your step one's a six month step you're on step one for probation after six months you go to step two which is one year the next four steps are one year then it's two years then it's three years that's exactly i copied it right out of the state contract which is where this chart came from yeah so would we we probably would want to create our own chart then at some point to go on the chart the chart's okay you just uh once you know this i get it okay i understand yeah right so we'll keep the chart um and then um somehow relate the steps so you know using as an example if you look at road crew full-time pay grade eight someone brand new you hired off the street with no experience you're gonna hire at 17 25 an hour in six months they're going to go to 1787. then one year from that six month they'll go to the step three of 1837 and one year from that they would go to 1888 and then one year from that they go to 1940 but then it switches to two years maybe two years before they got to the step six after that right okay but there's no getting a cost of living increase everything correct correct so we would we would separate we that way we we purposefully make a decision on what a cost of living increase is going to be and then you you give that and then you if you have a step that year good for you yeah so we could we could put that language in there that there would be a cost of living increase correct we would negotiate that way someone who's not getting a step if they were going to get a one percent or two or whatever we were going to give that that would still happen okay so what i'll do is i'll try to put in some um some language to go with this um try to make it a complete uh unit or whatever you want to call it and we can look at that um next time the other dicey part of this is when you do give an annual cost of living it bumps it bumps these steps up to that so for example if you give a one percent the road the new full-time road crew member would go 17.25 plus the one percent so that every year that chart would change a little bit okay so that would be it would be just it's a little bit of clerk work it's a it's it's that you're always you're always you always fit somewhere on that chart with your hourly rate but it could also be uh like a formula to help somebody who stays one year they get whatever the annual increase for everybody is and then on their anniversary of the a full year they get like another percent or every two years they get so if if each yeah i like that idea of a formula diana if each step as it is now represents about three percent now three percent so we could we could mention that um the like if it went from step one to step two that um the the increase to step two would be based on three percent of the present um whatever the present pay rate is that would work yeah yeah then we and we could just leave well and you wouldn't need this so you wouldn't need this charge just replace just make a policy that sure the select board is going to every year decide an overall cost of living uh increase for all the staff people and then um every whenever they complete one year two years of service they get another yeah because again i'm not married to this chart it was just this makes that chart work if we want to do something different that's fine yeah well let let me try to put something together and we'll i'll i'll pro hopefully i can do that um and get it to everybody so we can look at it for a bit if there are any suggestions um you could just send them to me but we'll look i'll if at the latest i'll have this ready to look at again at our next meeting next week okay good thing is the other good thing about the chart is that you it gives you some starting salaries and we don't have those anywhere else right right maybe those should be negotiated every time somebody is hired well again that's provided for in the pay because you can hire someone in grade you know for example if we hired another road person that's already got 10 years experience you're gonna have to slot him in that chart somewhere right that's what we did with grizz you know he had lots of experience so he basically negotiated a step to a starting point is one of the steps we did that with laura also yeah we did that with laura yeah starting the assistant town clerk at 10 i mean it's out of date anyways because i think 1066 isn't even the uh minimum wage is it yeah right for what it is but and that's my point if we stick with this chart every time you increase everybody's pay one percent say you gotta raise every slot on this chart one percent that's how you stay ahead of it yeah yeah i'll try to think of a formula okay yeah let's let's try to come up with a four because if you can't you could do it with this chart it's just you'd have to do it every time you crave a raise cost of living it adjusts the chart and that's there's probably some spreadsheet wizard that can make that magic work but it isn't me it mr skip lindsay could do that for you and he probably would be happy to do it yup so that's possible danny though he could skip could build it in that we could just enter the uh annual cost of living increase and it would automatically adjust the chart for us but i don't know that i bet brandi could do that too that's basically sounds like a excel spreadsheet i'm sure you can do this in a spreadsheet it's just a matter of somebody smarter than i am in that department smarter than me too i'm sure i could do it but it's one of those things i've chosen not to learn very good very well exactly yeah yeah so we could either have brandy maybe brandy and skip could could uh fix that for us okay um and i think that's pretty much it with the personnel policy um there's let's see let me just so there's more of the steps didn't fit on that same page um so and then this i'm not sure if you're aware of this this is kind of an overview of benefits and yeah employee benefits um and i i guess i'm kind of have to look at this and like i know that at this point we don't have the vermont health connect platinum plan anymore so this needs to be updated a little bit too it's an mvp plan um at this point so i'll i'll go through maybe i'll go through this with brandy and we'll just update this at some point here and then this is um this is kind of a passive thing there is a whole this is a whole booklet here but there's a i think um um harry and i went to a vlct passive workshop um on you know what to do about different um if you suspect that there are different drug issues or alcohol issues for your employees this is a whole manual i ha i have it um on my computer the whole thing if anybody wants a copy of it i'll be glad to share it with you um but um so i know when we revised the personal policy one of the last times we just put this in here um just so the wrong you know our employees were aware of it that's pretty much it that's okay that regarding that drug drug yeah there is someone called a d-e-r i think it's a drug anyways i think i'm it and i shouldn't be it it should be somebody that's more involved with the road crew that would take responsibility i mean i i'm the only one that has email i guess they have my email so when it's time to test somebody they're through the random testing i get the information but you know well that's going to have to be transferred over i don't know if you'd want to have chuck or someone else do that or yeah so what what diana's talking about chuck is that there are um is it passive that does that diana or is it yeah all right the so the town's insurer um does random drug testing of all town employees so what they must be just the uh just the road crew basically drivers the drivers with cdl licenses is that correct yeah so i mean it's called a random test but they usually notify diana of when it's going to happen so that they can be assured that that that the road crew member is at the town garage to um pee into the cup so that's the road commissioner thing yeah yeah does kind of you should fit into the road commissioners so yeah so are you okay chuck if we tag you with that yeah he'd have to go to the next training that they have right i'm willing to be yeah turn your mic back on chuck your mic's off i'll i'll fly down to florida and bring him to training it's no problem you're too eager would be a good thing you know for any road commissioner to um go through that training um i know they pretty much talk about what to be to look out for for different types of uh drugs and and michael can you turn chuck's mic back on oh you got it okay i don't know if i could i guess i could have done that yeah i think you can yeah yeah uh yeah no i'm fine with doing that uh okay and make sure that somebody's there to get tested right all right okay i'll start sending you some of the emails so you can see what what they do i think it's some kind of a new system that that involves some kind of a new sign-on that i haven't tackled yet but oh yeah okay probably yeah so i'm gonna stop the screen share is that okay sure okay all right um anything else about the personnel policy okay that's kind of the end of our agenda um is there any i don't really have any oh i do want to mention um especially since i have chuck and robin here this coming friday and select board members are welcome to take part in this i can give you the contact information but this coming friday the central vermont regional planning commission and dubois and king will be um giving a presentation on what's called a 60 designs for two of the sites in the village where we've been working on this um long drawn-out kind of erosion mitigation devices for to help keep stuff from going into the kingsbury branch and the two sites that we're going to be looking at the 60 designs for on friday it's from 1 to 2 p.m are the school off the school parking lot and behind the annex building so those are going to be um you know pretty much indirectly involved with the summer work that we're going to do in that area that we got the better roads grant for i was thinking of maybe inviting the civil engineer from ruggles too just so that i kind of want to have everybody kind of working together on this project um so that whatever we do to the roads um doesn't you know compromise what they're trying to do with these basins and vice versa maybe have the engineers kind of become aware of the different thoughts that's it one o'clock friday michael yeah one o'clock um okay they said i i should be i got to get my second coven shot friday so everybody's getting sick so i don't think i'll get sick till saturday though okay all right and you know this is just a presentation so i'm not going to worry about warning it as a select board meeting you know right even though no decisions are being made engine we're just taking in information and and uh providing input into the design um so the this process is is that they've come and done some testing um there's been a couple of meetings about some of their thoughts um and they put together that it's called a 60 design where you know they've got a pretty good idea of what they would like to have happen there but and then the property owners town folks get to look at the design hear the presentation have input into it and then they take that input and go back and and work on the designs again and then come before the town again with a basically a finished design 100 design so it started out originally as a 30 design um and now it's which was just kind of a rough thing before there was any testing done and so this is kind of step two in the steps um the other two sites the one between the fire station and behind the post office they've got to do some more um a little bit more testing probing before they can come up with a design for that and then the fourth site over on church street next to the methodist church when we dug the test pit it was all a ledge there so they had a the idea of another site across the road um that's basically property for the um car mechanic place and i guess technically larry rossi still owns the property and um oh he yeah i don't think he does him okay well anyway he has a mortgage that's all okay well they they didn't want the infiltration basin to be there so um the other thought was well maybe putting it over across cabot road in the park and by the time we kind of came to that thought winter set in and so they have they in the spring early summer they may want to dig a test pit there if we're all okay with with them having that the basin infiltration space in there hi friend so um so this would be for those two sites um and uh we'll see what they have to what the presentation is but so robin is uh you know basically with the women's auxiliary kind of owning the property there you're welcome to be there if you would like okay and uh chuck just with your you know i know that we had talks with the engineer when he was doing the testing you know i think you would probably have some input on this whole thing i'll be there okay great and brian you're welcome to come too if you want um it's it's all all stuff just said you'll send us the link then and then i'll remember send the link and as far as i know from the school i think larry eldridge is going to try to be there um i haven't heard back from the principal and i just it's more of a courtesy you know technically that's town property so um but i do want to try to just include whoever might be involved or directly and or indirectly involved and i might give that uh civil engineer from ruggles just a heads up and see if he could attend too i think it would be good for him to to see what dubois and king is thinking of and how that relates to the design that he can did we give dubois and king their whole he's got all that road profile on his computer and everything i believe so yeah they have that they don't have to redo it yeah we already dug test pits and things on the road for him yeah and i don't think i've shared any of the information from um from ruggles um with dubois and king which i probably should have yeah because we have plans i think if we connect them they can just merge their computers probably and get that data all in each other's computer yep they agree that way we wouldn't be working against each other yeah and they could work together on right yeah google's still working for the town no but there might be some small charge if they become involved right because again we've he's done our road profile for that area for when we finally get it ready to pave at some point and i think i agree with michael we don't want to have one project working against the other so the way to do that is make sure the two engineers are at least talking to each other right we uh you know it would be good to have the same civil engineer hopefully he's still working for ruggles who did that design you know because he know he knows he created it so he knows it best um so we'll see yeah even if he isn't able to come i think i will i probably connect just at least connect them they could share the data yeah yeah good so that yes i'm glad i didn't forget to mention that um anything else at all i don't have i can't think about i'm good yes yes robin oh robin i got a call from tim higgins the other day telling me that he's got some free time now if we still want him to look at the town hall are we still thinking about insulating the town hall uh i would say yes tim who so still have him check out the electrical in there then yeah we had planned and he said he could look at it and give us recommendations of what needed to be done okay that'd be great we still have plans of um you know i can't remember the woman's name diana who who um we were going to start in the spring maybe having a little ad hoc committee to start um mary jo llewellyn thank you because that would answer one of the questions if we decide to insulate eventually if the electrician's already inspected we know what's involved in doing it if we have to do any wiring before we can do it you can see jefferson new hampshire's town hall just burnt to the ground i don't think we want to be next no no okay good yeah that was timely yeah because spring's coming that way at least that one question's answered when they're working on it they can say if we decide to insulate before winter next year we know we got a wire we don't have to wire yeah right okay i will call him okay i know when i had the attic or just the crawl space up above we blew in some insulation when we were tightening up the house they found some old wiring so it kind of stopped the project right and yeah i had to get an electrician to come and i probably look at four or five places a year where it's an old older house and they have a fire in the attic and i say did you have insulation done oh yes they just put it in a month ago did you have the wiring taken care of first no i didn't you end up finding a bad connection buried in the insulation yeah weatherization comes you're supposed to tell you to have all that wiring replaced it'll happen too before you bury it because it's supposed to be air cooled and once you bury it in two feet of cellulose yeah all the hot connections get really hot and then the cellulose lights up and we're off to the races okay yeah good well i think that's pretty much it on our agenda except for that final item anybody want to make a motion to adjourn i'll move to adjourn i'll second that all those in favor

All9er2NQ4Q | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=All9er2NQ4Q | Telephone Cover Challenge! | feel like having this ghosty little light is really fun but it messes up the lighting of the video so if I have my head right in front of it it kind of just gives an orangey fall glow to it so we're gonna run with that today [Music] hello hello everyone my name is Laura this is my channel Lars little library and welcome to today's video which is a video I've been meaning to film for quite a while now so this is a tag and it was created by Elizabeth over at reading Riley I love her Channel by the way I got to meet her when we were doing the thrill to the weekend a couple years ago which is coming up again which is super exciting so definitely go out and check her channel it's such she's such an amazing fun creative like Thriller based reader but she also reads other genres and she's just so fun she just has such fun videos like this challenge so definitely go check her out I'll have her link down below but it's the telephone cover Challenge and it's basically like the game telephone where you have a cover and you go through and you say it reminds me of this cover which reminds me of this cover which reminds me of this cover Etc and so forth and then when you end your list another person can pick it up so I will be picking up this book after Sasha video Sasha's video from the wild Sasha I again love her Channel I'll have it linked down below so you can check out her video and her Channel if you are interested she left us as an open tag of anyone can continue on she's not going to tag a specific person so I commented down below I was like she was like oh so that is why I'm picking up after hers so let's get right into the tag and the last book that she left off with is in the nightwood by Dale Bailey and so as you can see this cover is pretty white with kind of a woodsy naturey Vibe um so I decided to go with an unkindness of magicians by Kat Howard to pick it up it has the same kind of like mostly whites has tree branches coming along the side of it so I thought that they fit together pretty well and then I realized that there are kind of a lot of naturey themed covers out there of course so I the next couple books in campus that so the next book that I chose based off of this one I really took inspiration from more of the vines going off of the book rather than like the color and I chose season of the storm so instead of going onto the cover it's in a circle here so you've got kind of the seasons really not really the seasons are represented you have winter here and then you have spring and so it has these different kind of flowers off of these branches which then of course made me go to girl serpent Thorn which are the spring flowers that I have on my shelf it is one of my favorite covers on my shelf it is so pretty I love again all of the branches and the literal thorns in this one with the Roses but then I saw the snake that's interwoven between it and that just immediately made me think of servant to love literally a snake is the whole point of this cover and again it's got some lovely foliage around it so I feel like these past few books are just very similar to one another again it's got that inverse of the foliage there with the snake right there in the middle and the thin stank line made me think of before she ignites by Jody Meadows this it's not really a snake but she has like a little dragon tail because I believe she deals with dragons in this fantasy world so she's got her flower crown because of course we need to have flowers in order for this to make sense that apparently is the theme of this video is books with flower covers but she's got the little serpenty-esque tail going around her but that ended up leading me in a completely different direction of I saw the pink dress and the main character who was mostly on the cover with like a darker background and I decided to go with Mexican Gothic after that I mean you can kind of see the main element of the main character being there um pink dress turns into a red dress dark blue turns into a dark green and spooky Vibes like they both have spooky Vibes but in a very different way and so again with the main character on the cover of it and made me think for the next book of another main character wearing red on the cover so I went to for the wolf by Hannah witton this and again it has that woodsy aspect to that kind of goes back a couple of books and so she's got this Red Cloak on the cover turned to the side again you don't really see her whole body but it was where my brain went to after seeing that one which then how can I not have one Red Riding Hood retelling and not jump to another one so red wolf is the next book that my brain thought of because it is extremely similar I mean you've got the woods aspect in the background kind of in the middle of her cloak Red Cloak Red Cloak kind of main character so very very similar covers um they're both kind of Red Riding Hood retellings and I love them both I highly recommend both of them um so again I saw the Red Cloak and I thought you know what else has a Red Cloak that's not a Red Riding Hood retelling size by Neil Schusterman has that Red Cloak main character on the cover but you don't see their face and you don't like know who they are I mean obviously read the book you'll figure it out but this was the book that I decided to go with and it has such a lovely color scheme honestly I really love that book and those are actually all nine books that I went through so my brain just went from one to the next to the next um I very clearly went off of specific themes but yes I'm leaving this off with Scythe so if anyone wants to pick up where I am leaving off of this telephone cover challenge size would be your next book to pick up off of and then choose nine books after that of what covers made you think of other covers this is such a fun video tag idea I'm constantly seeing covers and thinking oh that's just like this one or it's just like this one or it reminds me it was nice to finally kind of draw some connecting lines between some of these books and let me know if you see the connections between these if you thought of other books that have similar covers to any of the books I mentioned in this stack I would love to see where your brain goes and honestly it's probably a very close match and I would just love to see this continue on if you do continue on please let me know I would love to watch your videos but that's all for this one thank you all so very much for watching I hope you enjoyed it and again consider yourself tagged if you want to do this just pick up a scythe and go wherever your heart takes you if you like this video give it a thumbs up feel free to comment down below anything about bookish covers I also have social media linked down below where you can see what I'm reading as I'm reading it and my thoughts and various other bookish content also feel free to subscribe I make videos on Sundays and Wednesdays I'm doing my very cool spooky seeds spectacular right now so I am releasing one Vlog a week reading different spooky themed books and then a second video because I always post two videos because it's fun all right again thank you all for watching and I'll see you in the next one but until then I wish you happy reading [Music] | Laura's Lil Library | UC3RK_7jLk1-xAgfSm11CvuA | 2022-10-16 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,456 | 7,288 |
54rlPR9Ktnc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54rlPR9Ktnc | Stephen King - If You Don't Judge Your Characters You Can Watch Them Grow | when you're writing fiction what's your first name hi Maddie she said when when you're writing fiction how do you create character and how do you avoid creating same old character yeah that's a hard one next question for mr. Kane you write a lot about this in on writing I think that I think that the way that I would answer that is first of all you start with the idea that for most of us we think that we're we're good guys we think we're the good guys we think we're on the side of angels and so my idea is everybody has some part of their character that's admirable I'm sure that at one time or another Theodore Bundy helped an old lady across the street of course he probably raped and murdered her on the other side but that's that what I'm talking about that's the yin and yang of it so I have a tendency to start totally unknown I'm and that's that that's part of the benefit of working story rather than plot our lives developed naturally and our characters develop naturally over a period of time and they are influenced by a lot of different characteristics and the way that we look at other people is influenced to over a period of time as we get to know them sometimes women that you didn't think we're you know particularly good-looking you get to know them the more you see them the more you say after a while you say oh that woman is pretty and then a year or two later you say that woman is really beautiful but I didn't see that at first you say some guy well he's just a guy and he sort of just somebody else that happened to be at this party or in this dorm or whatever and you get to talk to those people a little bit the personality starts to come forward and you start to see the shadows and the depth of things I've got character and mr. Mercedes whose name is Holly give me and I expected it to be a walk-on ok she's this 47 year old woman who still lives with her aging mother and she's got psychological problems and she never speaks above a a mumble in fact she's introduced in the book is Holly the mumbler because she's one of these people we've seen this person we've all seen this person you can't really say what they're saying you can't really hear what they are saying and they have a tendency to sort of avoid eye contact they might look up every now and then a little bit they might have certain tics habits so I thought to myself well I've got a great line for this this this lady the first time that my main character meets her is at a Holiday Inn restaurant where he thinks she orders a sneeze burger because she speaks so low she's actually ordering a cheeseburger so I thought she was a walk-on I thought she was a flat character little by little she's become more and more important to me and more fun to write about and I started to see that she has an interior life and you begin by observing we I mean you have to lick raise your hand again if you're in the writing courses you have to look you have to see I mean you can't just walk and let it all go by it's somebody some of this has got to stay you've got to see how people are you've got to look for the person who when they eat they have a tendency to look down at their plate and they're tearing their napkins have you ever seen a napkin Ripper okay or somebody who's in a cafeteria and they've kind of like got the straw in pieces holly is a lipstick biter kind of like this all the time kind of rock mMmmm she'll talk through her nails so I it's it's part of the fun of it to me it's to see better and see more you know that famous a Connor line about this she says there's a certain grain of stupidity the writer can hardly do without yeah and then as the quality of having to stare yeah so you're hearing you say for everybody is that when you create character you're really fueled by curiosity not answers that's right you want to see them grow and they do their own thing if you let them if you let them do their own thing and one of the things that drives me crazy about second and third grade fiction is when a writer will wind the character up and make them go through certain paces and I think why don't you just go back and cut out paper dolls | Individuation Portal | UCNLz5Hn-vl22JkDdHL00UfQ | 2019-08-20 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 820 | 4,156 |
7-Ogteqi9F8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Ogteqi9F8 | CUSTOM KEYBOARD SKINS? -- DIY MECHANICAL KEYBOARD SKIN! | so this project originally started out to me as just oh I want a carbon fiber skin my mechanical keyboard and at first I didn't think that was possible because most companies don't sell mechanical keyboard skins at least I have never seen a company selling mechanical keyboard skins but if you do not have a company be sure to put their link down below in the comments but anyways so I was thinking whoa that would be cool but then I didn't find a way to do that until I came across a skin Oh me skin on this konami website for the 17 inch macbook pro and that was one of their older models so I decided to give it a go and just to cut out my own stencils and skins for this mechanical keyboard and in the end I think it turned out very very well so I originally did this because I didn't like that tan look of my mechanical keyboard wrist rest that I had made myself out of some of the foam so my carbon fiber skinning it up it made it a lot more comfortable to use and looked a lot better and it was also a lot more textured and grippy I also ended up skinning the caps lock backspace and shift buttons as well as the spacebar just because I thought it looked cool and it also adds some extra grip onto the keys now you could do this for every single key on there but I decided not to because that would take away too much work but anyways here's a time-lapse of me doing all the cutting and the stenciling and stuff like that so first I started off with my wrist rest and that one was pretty easy it was just a gigantic sheet of carbon fiber skin taken from the bottom of the macbook pro skin so I just measured it out through the lines where I was supposed to cut and cut them out with scissors and it worked pretty well so then I moved on to doing the sides of the mechanical keyboard that one was a little trickier since I had to cut pretty straight and also there was an angled sides but I managed doing this and as you can see it turned out okay it wasn't as desirable as I hoped it would be but the science turned out ok and finally we move on to the keys and I wasn't originally gonna do the keys I thought it would be cool to just try the space bar out so I did it and I loved how it felt and I loved how it looked also so I decided to do it with the backspace keys the shift keys so I didn't actually record me doing it with the backspace keys and the shift keys but here you can see the finished product it looks very very nice and it also feels nice so whenever I'm putting my hands or fingers on the keys I know immediately which keys I am putting them on so anyways guys that pretty much wraps it up big thanks to skeino me for sending out these skins for me to do a video on I really enjoyed it their skins are very high-quality and also they stick a lot and you can use a hairdryer to adjust anything I actually use that quite a lot with the wrist rest because it was curved but anyways their skins are great and I will leave a link to where you can buy one of these skins in the description below anyways guys thanks so much for watching this video if you liked it please do subscribe for more videos like this be sure to share and comment and stay tuned for more videos like this in the future anyways guys thanks for watching and I'll catch you guys later | Antonalog | UCrMuZPWxouflEjoPjhrvU1g | 2015-05-09 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 662 | 3,276 |
BhiOrgb8YpQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhiOrgb8YpQ | ‘Farewell to Growth’, Serge Latouche (2007) – ‘A Book in Five Minutes’, no.26 | foreign politicians in the media obsess about economic growth but what if that glorious 30 years of economic expansion from the 1960s has ended this Landmark text of the d-growth movement explores why gross end is nigh and why this should be welcomed to suggest that further economic growth has become near impossible is a secular heresy one so great it automatically excludes that person from a leading role in politics or the media it's perhaps unsurprising then that research into d-growth gets us little attention originated by many figures over 60 years d-growth has become a cohesive movement over the last 20 or so a leading figure is the French political scientist Serge ratouche his book farewell to growth published two months before the economic crash of 2007 provides an introductory guide to what degree represents and why it may create a better life for many in the Western World though I think a literal translation of the French title a small Treatise on Serene d-growth is more descriptive latouche defines the term in the introduction to begin with d-growth is no more than a banner that can rally those who have made a radical critique of development and who want to outline the Contours of an alternative project for a post-development politics its goal is to build a society in which we can live better lives whilst working less and consuming less it is an essential proposition if we are to open for space for the inventiveness and creativity of the imagination which has been blocked by economistic developmentalist and Progressive totalitarianism from my own experience making such statements in public marks the point where people in the audience start to shuffle and fall quiet in immediate environment where economic growth is treated as an incontestable good to even question it leaves many confused d-growth represents a whole new approach to how we provide goods and services in society as latouche says degrowth is not in my view the same thing as negative growth that expression is an absurd oxymoron but it is a clear indication of the extent to which we are dominated by the imaginary of growth we know that simply Contracting the economy plunges our society into disarray just as there is nothing worse than the work-based society in which there is no work there is nothing worse than a growth-based society in which growth does not materialize and that social and cultural regression is precisely what is in store for us if we do not change direction a society predicated upon constant growth made worse in recent years by fueling that process of debt is fundamentally unstable the seemingly inevitable concentration of economic power it creates also leads to Greater inequality excluding many from the profits of growth even more so when States bail out failing financial institutions protecting the private wealth of creditors by nationalizing the losses created latouche explores inequality as one of the key reasons why the modern economic process is failing whilstation and the economic sense seemed counter-intuitive in the North during the consumerist age deculturalization and depoliticization were becoming much more pronounced the rise of mass marketing supermarkets and hypermarkets the car and the television surreptitiously undermines citizenship creating a second people who are almost invisible had no voice and could readily be manipulated by the power of unscrupulous media with links to transnational companies at its simplest exponential growth in a finite environment must crash at some point the founders of modern economics such as Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill foresaw this for latouche the culture created by adopting growth as the primary social imperative is also at the root of the ecological crisis advertising makes us want what we do not have and despise what we already have it creates and recreates a dissatisfaction and tension of frustrated desire Prime Necessities have been forgotten increasingly demand no longer centers on very useful Goods but on very useless Goods advertising is an essential element in the vicious and suicidal circle of exponential growth one of the psychological drives which influences human decision making is fear of loss modern capitalism's greatest success has been to make the public associate its core principles free markets private property and economic growth has been intrinsically linked to the maintenance of their own lives and that losing these will be the end of that existence for latouche this is a failure of the human imagination which would otherwise allow us to see beyond these arbitrary restrictions once again a certain decolonialization of the imaginary is required whilst they do not necessarily worship progress and modernity which we all do to some extent decent people are obsessed with a fear of going backwards which would mean poverty and humiliation for them their fear of being plunged back into a wretched past is no matter how distorted their memories may be quite legitimate the Alternatives latouche examines from greater regionalization local economies to Greater Democratic accountability and politics and economics to more durable consumer goods and public transport are too complex to explore here the point about d-growth is that there are alternatives and that to avoid an inevitable decline we need to abandon the Primacy of economic growth in order to fully explore those alternative approaches for a number of reasons illustrated by two decades of poor growth and failing financial institutions this is the predicament we face today whilst politicians refuse to discuss critically the reasons why growth has reached its limits we will remain trapped within the self-justifying rationale of a failing economic process with the added urgency of the ecological crisis we have moved beyond the Realms of Reform we must find different more stable mechanisms to secure our essential needs for living that ultimately is a core message of leticia's book [Music] after thoughts on farewell to growth I have three priorities for our economy growth growth and growth to Albert Camus perhaps it's a revolutionary Spirit of the French people who as I writer are once again massing on the streets to oppose the worsting of their economic conditions which allows French academics to depart from the approved script and think outside the box for those who have studied ecological issues and the long-standing debate over technological development reading farewell to growth connects many dots allowing us to see how the assumptions and beliefs of the economic and political process obstruct real positive change after the publication of my book energy Beyond oil in 2006 I began a new project centered around it and developing ideas of degree I called it less is a four-letter word it's sought to explore the growing body of research showing the society based upon growth must for both technological ecological and economic reasons ultimately fail by 2011 I'd given up on that project the title I had chosen was self-fulfilling especially following the financial crash of 2007 people were offended by yet more criticism of a system they felt a grudging yet necessary dependence upon and in the height of the economic Strife which followed that collapse to consider having less was just too much to ask this is the more General problem about discussing d-growth as latouche outlines across much of the western political and media environment any systematic criticism of the core ideas of capitalism is rejected or ridiculed and if you persist to advance those arguments very quickly you realize the accuracy of his words blocked by economistic developmentalist and Progressive totalitarianism the logic behind the modern economic process is self-referential and is therefore not critically introspective any criticism results in a doubling down upon the same failing tropes be that technological innovation or cause for the liberalization of markets and business standards which over the last 70 years have forced both painful social degradation greater economic inequality as well as progressively greater ecological destruction through the material demands of those states which have most zealously enacted growth-led policies put simply modern economics has become a secular religion with all the Dogma adherence to the Liturgy and sacred text and the institutional intolerance towards non-believers that typifies the practice of established religions and there are claims to be based upon reason clearly any process which pursues a course of action that leads to its own destruction cannot be considered rational it is a self-referential nature of economic theory a belief that if the economic medicine hasn't worked then it's because the dose hasn't been strong enough which traps the public stripped of agency by seemingly Theocratic state within such limited Horizons for change more significantly as the major political parties in the mass media routinely exclude those who raise well-researched criticisms the alternative options are never openly explored and therefore no popular political movements supporting these ideas can emerge even when relatively radical proposals are Advanced from within mainstream Politics the highly centralized and elitist nature of this system can Spar to obstruct change as shown by the way the political and media establishment combined to bring down Jeremy corbyn's leadership of the labor party pushing a largely fabricated storyline to unseat him and yet when that system commits the very same offenses it accuses others of committing the system's ideological exceptionalism allows such egregious crimes to pass and challenged such as kirstama's failure to address racism and bigotry in the labor party or the Western media as a whole failing to recognize the parallels between the invasion of Iraq and the invasion of Ukraine so here we are trapped in a representative democracy which only represents a narrow set of economic interests seemingly unable to escape the inevitable fate of declining economic and environmental well-being which awaits us if we stay on this expansionist pathway this is fine I'm okay with the events that are unfolding currently that is why we must work from the bottom up to popularize the ideas of d-growth circumventing the restrictions on debate imposed from above as latouche discusses throughout the book we can't simply halt growth because that would hasten the collapse and inevitably create the kinds of social Strife which would amplify this crisis instead we need to enact measured alternatives to that process progressively replacing elements of the existing economic and political system with more stable alternatives to keep the essential material social and cultural heart of society beating of course if society as a whole cannot do this then those who are able should try to do this independently trialling the realizable options for Rapid change to create a base of knowledge and experience for others to follow before the greater crisis takes effect arguably this is where the broad Church of degro studies diverges which as latouche admits is really no more than a banner that can rally those who have made a radical critique of development this is where the personal becomes political and where we must accept that differences of opinion must exist and be recognized as we open up a space for the inventiveness and creativity of the imagination to find solutions to our daily needs so it opens up many different opportunities for disagreement for this reason we must learn as a society to enact many different ideas simultaneously so that we can trial as many different options as possible relatively quickly to see what works of course such a response does not work within the centralized top-down and the latest systems that have control typified by liberal capitalism such changes don't necessarily mean and then to markets or self-interest and it definitely does not require going backwards but it does mean accepting that the historic concentration of economic power created by economic colonialism globalization and proprietary rights it's an obstruction to change and freeing Ordinary People of those restrictions is a precondition to allow a more diverse set of responses to enact radical change this is why I think letitia's point about radical localization is so important liberal capitalism is monotheistic its Central philosophy provides a top-down set of rules which are not open to criticism from below that is its key power for Domination but that is also its greatest weakness due to the inflexible dictatorial and an equal nature of the social impacts it creates the point about localism and creating local Democratic control over the economic process is that it allows far greater flexibility taken account of both the culture of the locality and the ecological characteristics of the area the modern political State inevitably gives rise to Regional inequalities as liberal capitalism centralizes and modernizes to create ever greater economic efficiency localization removes that tendency from the national or Global centralization of economic power by enshrining decision making and the flow of wealth and resources within a smaller geographic area as possible of course that will never be as economically efficient albeit in most cases it will be more ecologically efficient and so the presently accepted norms and expectations of liberal politics and economics can no longer apply which inevitably brings us to the issue of technological progress the modern idea of technological progress which developed in parallel to the economic processes which gave rise to the belief in Endless growth is based upon physical processes limited by both the laws of physics and the availability of finite resources all technological inefficiency measures represent a limited and on average a diminishing return and over recent decades the pace of new technological discoveries has consistently diminished it is this discrepancy between ideological belief and physical reality which negates the idea that technology will save us the dominant belief in technology and progress is arguably pursued as a proxy avoiding harder discussions over the very real limitations of the political and economic system which creates both human inequality and ecological destruction this dogmatic belief Again part of the self-referential arguments of liberal capitalism prevents any progress being made on stopping climate change and other forms of ecological destruction it constantly promises Jam tomorrow but that promise tomorrow never really arrives in Britain the structure of land ownership and planning laws trapped most people in the urban areas where they are wholly dependent upon the economic process for all their needs modern urbanism which developed in Britain in parallel to the industrial revolution has now been replicated across the world trapping much of humanity within the same doomed system of exploitation and control at the same time the current political and economic system obstructs people's desire to change the way they live by demanding that all ideas for change conform to economic expectations and seeks to obstruct those with more radical ideas from realizing them property rights especially and the concentration of land ownership amongst an economic Elite restrict people's ability to change in Britain landownership represents a centuries-old division of the land and National wealth which alongside the systems of planning control prevents people adopting the kinds of low impact self-supporting lifestyle that would truly reduce our impact upon the global environment without such radical change as to underlying assumptions technology alone can never deliver the scale of change acquired to avoid ecological collapse structural change is essential to adapt to climate breakdown resource depletion and the global tensions which will result from these effects in a world which is addicted to increasing material consumption in all likelihood by the time the situation becomes so bad that the economic theocracy can no longer avoid reality as in JK gerberus classic argument on the power of the conventional wisdom to stall change the catastrophic failure lutouche believes is inevitable will be unavoidable for those trapped within Urban Society separated from their basic food and material needs by rent extracting economic process this very real Outlook should easily overwhelm most people's loss aversion to create a movement for radical change arguably as latouche notes at many points the reason this does not happen is that politics in the media do not represent the mass of the people instead it represents the economic power of the institutions controlling the state blocking such Troublesome issues from being objectively presented via the mass media the d-growth movement exists to advance these difficult arguments to take the large body of evidence as to why the current economic process is failing and propose a range of Alternatives which might avert the catastrophic failure of this system if these arguments are not commonly heard it is not due to a lack of research evidence or a lack of practical Alternatives it is due to the deference of our politics and media to an economic Elite who dominates society today ignoring the arguments from the degrove movement will not make these realities go away instead the inexible decline of well-being across western states will continue preceding an Ever more inevitable collapse as each year passes with our action to address the causes of this decline thank you [Music] foreign | ramblinactivist | UClZOu4ZeZP75cx2d4t5gHbA | 2023-04-05 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,819 | 17,693

5JbvFUW46LM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JbvFUW46LM | Specimen #Dendrobiumaphyllum in full bloom | XXL inorganic mount | Keikis UPDATE 🤩🙌🏼 #ninjaorchids | [Music] surprise can you believe it first of all before i get carried away thank you so much for being here this is a comprehensive update on everything dendrobium of film we are gonna start with my monster mount which i created on the 4th of august in 2021 dendrobium of films are such generous orchids when it comes to keiki's and i've never been able to get comfortable with the thought of throwing excess cakeys away so in the four years that i've had the mother plant which we will have a look at towards the end a sort of grand finale i have been collecting dendrobium of film cakes and trying to get them to grow so that i can get more of this gorgeous orchid these are my oldest cakeys right here and these cakes were not cultivated on the mother plant the way i cultivated the cakeys that you see on my monster mount these cakes were just left on the mother plant when the roots were long enough i took them off and i mounted them despite looking amazing considering they are three years old they look nothing like the cakeys back there that is because those cakes were babied from jump the moment i saw cakey nubbins starting at the end of the canes of the mother plant i went to town and i kept misting them lots of seaweed eventually when roots started to grow depending on the weather because i didn't want to burn those roots but eventually when they started to grow very very weak fertilizer solution anyway lots and lots of babying and cultivating and you can see from the video where i made this mount and pinned these cakes to my mount in comparison to today the cakeys were maybe like half the size and they continued to grow on this mount and started to get a little bit longer i never ever expected these cakes to bloom but the vision for me for the future is to one day have a dendrobium a film curtain so it looks a little bit rustic at this point in time it's not even a year old the plan being that one day the whole thing will be full and then it won't look so sparse but we have to start somewhere the fact that these cakes actually bloomed and not just one bloom but i have a proper little display of blooms is oh i am over the moon very very pleased and very happily surprised on this mount here these cakes being much older two years ago i only ever received one bloom so there is a massive difference to cultivating cakes while they are still on the mother plant as opposed to just letting it go taking them off and putting them on a mount i shall continue to do that this year as well should my mother plant be so generous as to provide me with more cakeys hey i have some space to fill over there and anywhere else i can pin more on speaking of which i have two stragglers from the mother plant last year that were only just developing but they were far too immature to harvest when i did the monster mount so when they were established enough to be removed from the mother plant i put them in this kind of a setup upside down bottle with a little bit of a plastic cup so that there would always be water in here this water mainly is condensation water i have hardly even fertilized these cakes at all whenever there's condensation this is what collects and every once in a while i have to go in and empty this out because i don't want the base to get too wet check this out we've got a new growth coming even on this cakey right here so eventually i'm going to pin this cakey onto the monster mount when i see roots starting at the base of this little growth here you can see that old roots here are extending so i could theoretically do it now but it's much much better to wait for the actual roots of the new growth and then i'll be adding to the monster mount now here's another one also the other straggler that i've kept in the same setup i don't have a new growth here yet that is because it bloomed i hear you saying but hang on a second you've got leaves the monster mount doesn't have leaves and i'm like yeah because these cakes were babied indoors they were not exposed to the elements because by the time i got to harvest them it was already far too late in the season and the temperatures were dropping my idea was to cultivate them grow them on so that i could pin them onto the mount and well it just goes to show that even with leaves on even if the temperature chill isn't as much dendrobium a film cakes will bloom unfortunately here they are already spent but i took pictures and this cakey does not have any new growth yet but it's doing pretty well considering it's doing better than these guys which are already much much mature than the keikis down there so yeah different ways of getting a film cake is to be happy and grow but i'm telling you the pampering result of the keikis that you see on this mount from last year while they were still on the cane the best result ever so shall we have a look-see at the mother plant seeing as she is the culprit for all that i'm talking about here right now and what i'm planning year in year out to hopefully one day get an a film curtain what do you say this is my dendrobium of film the mother plant now many many years ago i got a couple of sticks pathetic and puny not even the same standard and quality as the cakeys that you just saw on that monster mount but here we are many many years later and several cakeys later as well because the first cakes i ever got from her that were in excess of my little mouth that you saw previously they were pinned to the top and they're only just now starting to grow up and come on to their own and those are the top blooms that you can see the canes aren't long enough to start to go pendant but look at what has happened since then i am blown away this dendrobium of film is just taking over i'm loving the bloom display this year they are not long lasting but i think i have plenty of amazing footage that is absolutely clogging up my hard drive because there is no such thing as longevity when it comes to dendrobium of film blooms but she is doing amazing i really actually also need to give her another spray today even though it is a bit overcast it is not raining but this orchid is now drinking up the moisture like there is no tomorrow because the base of every little growth that i have is just bursting with new growths now so there will be more to come i am also super pleased that this year i managed to keep my film safe you can see i tied the gate off there last year this gate was slammed into the wall that is here on the right and it snapped the new canes that were growing from it what a shame one of those beastly ghastly winds came in the rainstorm and the weight of the mount the weight of the canes against the wall with a slam yeah i snapped four canes that is not going to happen this year and this gate has now been tied and will not budge anywhere because i want to see more of this again next year luckily those snap canes did bloom so it wasn't all a waste of time but i have to put splints on them to keep the cane somewhat provided with some kind of nutrients and keep the nutrient flow going so to speak but that show didn't last very long so this is definitely a completely different spectacle than seeing snap canes with splints on them and then looking at the beautiful blooms no this is gorgeous absolutely gorgeous now i'm going to lift you up and show you what i mean about wanting a curtain at some point in time i'm going to try and hold the camera steady but you can see where that monster mount lives same orientation maybe not as much light because of the covered portico so the sun being higher in the sky doesn't have as much light there as the mother plant below but these are cakes these are babies they need a lot of light to be able to grow but we don't want them to burn to a crisp so that is the gate right there the mount itself is 80 centimeters in length and then when we go down you can see what i'm trying to get at this mount will always only ever be circular but yeah maybe one day all in one go we have ourselves like a shower a rainfall of these beautiful blooms at least for two weeks i think that's gonna look amazing so that's the plan and that is why this monster mount is where it is and looks the way it does the mother plant is on a baked piece of cork bark a huge piece of cork bark it is very very heavy and is obviously getting heavier every year seeing as this orchid keeps growing and growing attached to the same mount is a ceratolabium and a dendrobium but that was because of the puny little canes that i got of my film and it just looked really ridiculous for the first couple of years and now well it's gonna be a little bit difficult to get the other two dendrobiums off but eventually maybe i'll get the courage to literally rip off the other dendrobiums and leave this mount alone with the film only i just don't have the courage to do that right now there's plenty of space for now anyway that is my update i hope that you enjoyed seeing the progress and if you're here for the first time i will be linking the making of the monster mount i will link that video in the description if you want to go back and have a look at that in the meantime it's a film time and it is grow time also and i'm so excited to push these new growths now again to their maximum so that we get more of this come 2023 there's something incredibly beautifully magical about these blooms absolutely adore really appreciate your time have yourself a beautiful day on one condition that you stay safe please take care bye [Music] you | ᑎIᑎᒎᗩ_ᗝᖇᑕᕼIᗪᔕ🌸 | UCfNoqye2-LlP6wDFFmj1puQ |

BOCpRI--6pg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOCpRI--6pg | FIXING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON GRANDMA, MY MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS | good morning guys and welcome back to the channel my name is Jason this is old car auto guy and if this is the first time that you're tuning in we do a lot on this channel we focus mainly on my used car dealership which you can see behind me we do some projects like project grandma the old Mopar project blowing bubbles if you don't know what any of those are you'll want to stay tuned to this channel [Music] now recently we've had a little bit of a busy spell yet again and we have been on somewhat of a buying spree and a selling spree so let me show you some of the vehicles that we've bought since the last time I gave you a lot update now you guys remember in one of the last videos last week we went to Montreal and we brought in a 2014 Nissan Versa note yes nice and nice and and that one sold very quickly because I had to ordered for a customer but while it was here we had a lot of interest in one so I perfect I picked up another one and this is a 14 again 60k s and SV model so it is loaded up really really nice things like heated seats aluminum wheels fog lights all that good stuff we did end up selling the 2014 rogue and we replaced it with a 2016 noisy tires on that truck 2016 with 99 thousand kilometers again this is an SV model so it comes fairly standard with the panoramic sunroof as well as the wheels the fog lights backup camera all sorts of goodies here is the Forte that I did not hit with this rental now I can't remember if I showed you guys this car here but this is a 13 Dodge Avenger this one has a little bit higher mileage than the black one that we have that's a 2013 this one has one hundred and sixty two thousand kilometers but it is in really good shape and we are selling this one for 8850 and again we picked up another cheap one this is a 2000 and 9 Chevy Aveo much like the 2008 hatchback that we've got back there it's an LT model so therefore again fog lights it comes with the wheels this one's loaded up really nice for us for a very entry-level car from GM we picked this one up and I believe it's ready for a lot don't think we have a price just yet we've also got this 2015 Ford Escape this is an S model but it does have the aluminum wheels that's got the 1.6 liter in it and it's loaded up very very nice black shows quite well and this one has just hit the lot still needs to go in for a pre-sale inspection I believe that's kind of why it's sitting over here and not up there with the rest of the SUVs the 2009 Malibu we took a deposit on it yesterday this is sold the customer is just waiting for an insurance check to come through they had a little bit of an accident last week driving a rental now and they'll be back to pick this one up publicly by the end of this week maybe first of next and as you can see here we are still sitting on our Chevrolet products looks like we've got ourselves a little mini Chevy lot but these are all good vehicles right from a 14 15 chevy cruze 14 chevy cruze 14 sonic 17 spark and the 11 chevy cruze this has 209 thousand kilometers which is about 130,000 miles 59.95 and there's grandma over there looking all dapper and the only thing that's ours back here is the 2008 chevy aveo v this is a hatchback it's a five-speed it's LT so again it's loaded up really nice with a manual transmission need a little bit of work customer traded it in on that 2009 Kia Rio and so this one here has yet to go through the shop and get cleaned up that will be a job for today everything else is just either customer vehicles the red Dodge Ram is for one of our drivers as well as the tundra they are currently on their way to Evanston New Brunswick to pick up a car that I bought on their on the auction block up there and that's about three and a half hour drive so they left at about six o'clock this morning and they will be back probably are just a little bit after lunch today so guys there is the little bit of a lot update that I'm giving you for this week and we'll be back with some more action here in just a minute so it is to tonight and we are out at the shop and Tim is working away at getting the manifold fixed on project grandma so let's take a look and see what's going on in here [Music] so why looks of things he's got all the nuts cut off and yeah I think he's just in the process of getting it all six of eight I guess and getting things broke loose and hopefully it'll five minutes we'll have a new manifold put on there right Tim so the old manifold is off except for the end of it right there and now comes the fun part of trying to get the broken studs off but I have faith and Tim so we've got the new studs in all cleaned up since just put some RTV on the gasket so that we can get the new manifold in there and I would say we're about 70 percent yeah so wouldn't won't be too long and we'll have this thing started back up no more ticks at least from this side now Tim all these Crown Vic and Grand Marquis guys are gonna be sitting on the other another screens laughing at us because they knew damn well but that a/c had to come out of the way in order to slide that up in there with the studs in and they also knew that if we didn't do it that way we would have to take all the studs back out so yes that's exactly what we're doing right now is we're taking the AC compressor which is right there taking the bolts out to move it forward so that we don't have to take these studs out because if we take the studs out those bottom ones up front are gonna be a bugger to get back into place once the manifolds on but this is my first Grand Marquis so give me a little bit of slot besides I've been working so hard on it will we manage to get the manifold on there pretty and we didn't even to take the AC compressor completely off we just undid the bolts and split it back enough so that we could slide the manifold in there it wasn't hit up against these AC lines we've cut the y-pipe connected back up Tim's just putting the belt back on the front here and we're almost ready to fire it up and there you have it folks it is the next day and I bet you can barely even hear the car running behind me it is so quiet I want to give a huge shout out to Tim my mechanic for making sure that he was able to get this going in a timely fashion this is just the phase one project with the exhaust we had to get that manifold fixed before we could go any further and once the exhaust parts come in we'll get the dual exhaust setup and of course we'll bring you guys along with that as well don't forget to head up Sussex beard oil in the description below I will set their link right here you can get a discount by using the promo code glove box when you buy a regular sized beard oil you can get a travel size absolutely free all you got to do is put both every morning that guy all you have to do is put them both in your cart and add the promo code and you are good to go guys I'm still looking for license plates I have received about a half a dozen of them already and according to some of you I'm expecting some more so we're trying to get that wall art project finished up as well and we will be getting back to that in the near future so stay focused on the windshield about the rear view mirror I love you guys [Music] I was thinking of scuffing it down a painting at the same color as a car Thank You detective okay a paper I left off now [Music] so guys stay focused on the windshield not through from here I love you god bless we'll see you in the next video [Music] | OCG-Olde Carr Guy | UCxGt15FvcrJXH823mI7UgnA | 2019-06-06 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en |

j6PfX9QlkZk | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6PfX9QlkZk | Tilt sensor | Wikipedia audio article | an inclinometer or clinometer as an instrument used for measuring angles of slope or tilt elevation or depression of an object with respect to gravities direction it is also known as a tilt indicator tilt sensor tilt meter slope alert slope gauge gradient meter Grady ometer level gauge level meter decline ometer and pitch enroll indicator clinometers measure both inclines positive slopes as seen by an observer looking upwards and declines negative slopes as seen by an observer looking downward using three different units of measure degrees % and topo C grade slope for details astrolabes are inclinometers that were used for navigation and locating astronomical objects from ancient times to the Renaissance a tilt sensor can measure the tilting and often two axes of a reference plane in two axes in contrast a full motion would use at least three axes and often additional sensors one way to measure tilt angle with reference to the Earth's ground plane is to use an accelerometer typical applications can be found in the industry and in game controllers in aircraft the ball in turn coordinators or turn and bank indicators as sometimes referred to as an incline ometer you topic history inclinometers include examples such as wells in clinometer the essential parts of which are a flat site or base on which it stands and a hollow disk just half filled with some heavy liquid the glass face of the disk is surrounded by a graduated scale that marks the angle at which the surface of the liquid stands with reference to the flat base the zero line is parallel to the base and when the liquid stands on that line the flat side is horizontal the 90 degree is perpendicular to the base and when the liquid stands on that line the flat side is perpendicular or plumb intervening angles are marked and with the aid of simple conversion tables the instrument indicates the rate of fall per sec distance of horizontal measurement and set distance of the sloping line the Abney level as a handheld surveying instrument developed in the 1870s that includes a sighting to ban in clinometer arranged so that the surveyor may align the sighting tube and its crosshair with the reflection of the bubble in the spirit level of the incline ometer when the line of sight is at the angle set on the incline ometer one of the more famous in clinometer installations was on the panel of the Ryan NYP the spirit of st. Louis in 1927 Charles Lindbergh chose the lightweight recur Inc P 105 7 degree incline ometer to give him climb and descent angle information topic uses hand-held clinometers are used for a variety of surveying and measurement tasks in land surveying and mapping a clinometer can provide a rapid measurement of the slope of a geographic feature or used for cave survey in prospecting for minerals clinometers are used to measure the strike and dip of geologic formations in forestry tree height measurement can be done with a clinometer using standardized methods major artillery guns may have an Associated clinometer used to facilitate aiming of shells over long distances permanently installed tilt meters are emplaced at major earthworks such as dams to monitor the long-term stability of the structure you topic factors which influence the use of inclinometers overall accuracy varies depending on the type of tilt sensor or inclinometer and technology used gravity temperature drift zero offset linearity vibration shock cross axis sensitivity acceleration deceleration a clear line of sight between the user and the measured point is needed a well-defined object is required to obtain the maximum precision the angle measurement precision and accuracy is limited to slightly better than one arcsec topic accuracy you certain highly sensitive electronic inclinometers sensors can achieve an output resolution to 0.0001 degrees depending on the technology and angle range it may be limited to 0.01 degrees an inclinometer sensors true or absolute accuracy which is the combined total error however is a combination of initial sets of sensors zero offset and sensitivity sensor linearity hysteresis repeatability and the temperature drifts of zero and sensitivity electronic inclinometers accuracy can typically range from plus or minus 0.01 to two degrees depending on the sensor and situation typically in room ambient conditions the accuracy is limited to the sensor linearity specification you topic sensor technology tilt sensors and inclinometers generate an artificial horizon and measure angular tilt with respect to this horizon they are used in cameras aircraft flight controls automobile security systems and speciality switches and are also used for platform leveling boom angle indication and in other applications requiring measurement of tilt important specifications to consider for tilt sensors and inclinometers are the tilt angle range and the number of axis the axes are usually but not always orthogonal the tilt angle range is the range of desired linear output common implementations of tilt sensors and inclinometers are accelerometer liquid capacitive electrolytic gas bubble in liquid and pendulum tilt sensor technology has also been implemented in video games yoshi's universal gravitation and kirby tilt and tumble are both built around a tilt sensor mechanism which is built into the cartridge the PlayStation 3 and Wii game controllers also use tilt as a means to play video games inclinometers are also used in civil engineering for example to measure the inclination of land to be built upon some inclinometers provide an electronic interface based on can controller area network in addition those inclinometers may support the standardized can append profile CIA 410 in this case these inclinometers are compatible and partly interchangeable topic 2 axis digital in clinometer traditional spirit levels and pendulum based electronic leveling instruments are usually constrained by only single axis and narrow tilt measurement range however most precision leveling angle measurement alignment and surface flatness profiling tasks essentially involve a two-dimensional surface plane angle rather than two independent orthogonal single axis objects two axis inclinometers that are built with MEMS tilt sensors provides simultaneous two-dimensional angle readings of a surface plane tangent to earth datum typical advantages of using two axis MEMS inclinometers over conventional single axis bubble or mechanical leveling instruments may include simultaneous measurement of two-dimensional XY plane tilt angles ie pitch and roll can eliminate tedious swapping back and forth experienced when using a single axis level for example to adjust machine footings to attain a precise leveling position digital compensation and precise calibration for non-linearity for example for operating temperature variation resulting in higher accuracy over a wider measurement range the accelerometer sensors may generate numerical data in the form of vibration profiles to enable a machine installer to track and assess alignment quality in real-time and verify a structures positional stability by comparing levelling profiles before and after it is setup you topic in clinometer with gyroscope as inclinometers measure the angle of an object with respect to the force of gravity external accelerations like rapid motions vibrations or shocks will introduce errors in the tilt measurements to overcome this problem it is possible to use a gyroscope in addition to an accelerometer any of the above-mentioned accelerations have a huge impact on the accelerometer but a limited effect on the measured rotation rates of the gyroscope an algorithm can combine both signals to get the best value out of each sensor this way it is possible to separate the actual tilt angle from the errors introduced by external accelerations you topic applications inclinometers are used for determining latitude using Polaris in the northern hemisphere or the two stars of the constellation crux in the southern hemisphere determining the angle of the Earth's magnetic field with respect to the horizontal plane showing a deviation from the true vertical or horizontal surveying to measure an angle of inclination or elevation alerting an equipment operator that it may tip over measuring angles of elevation slope or incline eg of an embankment measuring slight differences in slopes particularly for geophysics such inclinometers are for instance used for monitoring volcanoes or for measuring the depth and rate of landslide movement measuring movements in walls are the ground in civil engineering projects determining the dip of beds or strata or the slope of an embankment or cutting a kind of plumb level some automotive safety systems indicating pitch and roll of vehicles nautical craft and aircraft see turn coordinator and slip indicator monitoring the boom angle of cranes and material handlers measuring the look angle of a satellite antenna towards a satellite adjusting a solar panel to the optimal angle to maximize its output measuring the slope angle of a tape or chain during distance measurement measuring the height of a building tree or other feature using a vertical angle in a distance determined by taping or pacing using trigonometry measuring the angle of drilling and well logging measuring the list of a ship in stillwater and the role in rough water measuring steepness of a ski slope measuring the orientation of planes and lynnie a shin rocks in combination with a compass in structural geology measuring range of motion in the joints of the body measuring the inclination angle of the pelvis numerous neck and back measurements require the simultaneous use of two inclinometers it measures the angle of elevation and ultimately computing the altitudes of many things otherwise inaccessible for direct measurement measuring and fine-tuning the angle of line array speaker hangs confirmation of the angle achieved via use of a laser built into the remote in clinometer setting correct orientation of solar panels while installing setting firing angle of a cannon or gun determines projectile range electronic games help prevent unsafe working conditions the USDA Forest Service uses tilt sensors or inclinometers to measure tree height in its forest inventory and analysis program tilt indicators are disposable braids albeit reusable sensors attached to goods as part of packaging during shipping topic games Nintendo used tilt sensor technology in five games for its Gameboy series of handheld game systems the tilt sensor allows players to control aspects of the game by twisting the game system games that use this feature yoshi's universal gravitation Game Boy Advance WarioWare twisted Game Boy Advance not released in Europe coro coro puzzle happy Pinet u Game Boy Advance Japan only Kirby tilt and tumble Game Boy Color not released in Europe command Master Game Boy Color Japan only tilt sensors can also be found in game controllers such as the Microsoft Sidewinder freestyle Pro and Sony's PlayStation 3 controller however unlike these other controllers in which the tilt sensor serves as a supplement to normal control methods it serves as one of the central features of Nintendo's Wii Remote and the nunchuck attachment along with accelerometers the tilt sensors are a primary method of control in most Wii games it is now being used in many different aspects instead of just games like motocross and flight simulators it can be used for sport gaming first-person shooter and other odd uses such as in WarioWare smooth moves another example as a virtual version of a wooden maze with obstacles in which you have to maneuver a ball by tilting the maze

FnW5dXktkCo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnW5dXktkCo | Bones for Life | Feldenkrais for Posture, Pain Relief, Bone Health | hey brother how are ya good are you doing alone good well it's Brian sure cliff and Cynthia Alan and we're gonna be teaching again together soon so excited starting to bones for life training and this will be our second one to there no one's like and we did one kinda together how come our students came together oh yeah that's and that's how that worked that's right in my mind it's a second self that's exciting we'll start people out together in phase one and those people then that want to go on for the teacher training in the face to will continue on but it's coming up quick and it is so I'm sorry I did not wear my jump your bones t-shirt I mean we were pretty cute out in public the other day we were about that on our jump your bones t-shirt and I have to say as much attention as that t-shirt gets when you wear one of them when the two of you are at hotness male-female wearing it it's a lot of attention so yeah so we thought maybe we talked a little bit about how we got into this work and why don't you I've been talking to most why don't you start okay yeah happily so my mom was studying with you 15 this years ago and I used to think that what she was doing this whole bounty on heels thing was the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life and I used to think that handstands would save the world as well I had some interesting beliefs and stands save the world I can see it on a t-shirt yeah I like that yes it's all quite as nicely as this one but I kind of let go of it after I make fun of my mom for that time period I'm really awful yeah yeah yeah my dad even didn't see won't you just lie down a little bit but then a friend at a place where I teach vitality shared a little tea learn postcard that you would make and said come and check out bones for life and see if it's helpful for you and I said to my friend in the back oh I didn't say it out loud but I said oh my gosh not that mom's for life stuff a gimmick that's the dumbest stuff I've ever heard in my life because I like this friend penny I went just to be kind perhaps and I went that day with little pain in my hip and five minutes into that session that you were offering I was paying for me and I thought well how could that be that shouldn't happen yeah and then we did a little bit more and I was feeling better and a little bit more and I was like wow this is great stuff we did we didn't do anything here it seemed like an and shifted so quickly so I joined the training immediately after that one so you did I mean you know my experience of that day as you know is we actually had a snowstorm so there were several people registered and only two showed up and they were both men which right away is very unusual firm any of my things to have more than one guy show up at a time is actually unusual and and both of you quite athletic okay it's that in background so I was thinking to myself oh gosh what are they thinking the whole time I kept thinking what are they thinking it has to be okay they have to be thinking this is the this has got to be the silliest thing I've ever done and you both signed up for the training so I'm really nervous to show us the the roots of the training having to do with women carrying water on their heads from Africa so it's a great great learning for me they just nick cannot possibly know what's going on in other people's minds and also even though i would i had i knew the power of the work sometimes you mistrust the power of the work yes so for me i went in 2004 to new york city and what happened is I wanted to study with Ruthie Alon so unlike Brian who didn't know her and didn't have any sense about what that connection might mean I wanted to study with her she was one of Monet's original 13 students and I did I signed up for it and then probably like three or four weeks right before the training started I herniated a disc in my lumbar and I was in significant trouble really and so I I really wanted to do that trainings I don't know if it was stupid or not but I did it i schlepped my suitcases as carefully as one can schlep their suitcases through the city of New York is you don't have taxis everywhere you're doing a lot of walking and carrying backpacks and etc and went to the training everyday or it was either 15 or 18 days I might have done the 15th date at one time and and really it was a remarkable it was a remarkable experience it helped actually with this herniated disc which I had been had an injury two years prior and had really struggled with so you know you're not gonna get a magical result with a herniated disc like overnight but I could tell it was helping me helping to decompress my spine and more than that though I think is that I will II wanted to find something about uprightness and I have found that I had gotten out of a lot of pain and difficulty with the Feldenkrais work I still did not know how to find a brightness like that was excruciating for me when Ruth you would say there's some people that standing is excruciating I was one of those where I just could not stand and not have significant feeling of collapse and fighting it and I still was having trouble with that even epidural and my Feldenkrais training and that really really both were like turned that around big time well bus really was phenomenal so you made it to the training to 15 days in a long time in a row yeah I love her right yeah yeah I love those kinds of things so that's not a big different I could do 15 days tomorrow I'd be awesome but ours will not engage at a time so be not disparage ours will be in mostly two and three days segments is so nice so we're hoping to hear from you and just do it absolutely go jump your bones okay thanks Ryan welcome thank you you | Future Life Now | UCzan9fVIFeALcS3N4-dpBoA | 2019-08-17 | Creative Commons Attribution license

vFqDWPMOYkM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFqDWPMOYkM | Treasure Island - Chapter 03 - Free Audiobook | CHAPTER III THE BLACK SPOT ABOUT noon I stopped at the captain's door with some cooling drinks and medicines. He was lying very much as we had left him, only a little higher, and he seemed both weak and excited. "Jim," he said, "you're the only one here that's worth anything; and you know I've been always good to you. Never a month but I've given you a silver fourpenny for yourself. And now you see, mate, I'm pretty low, and deserted by all; and, Jim, you'll bring me one noggin of rum, now, won't you, matey?" "The doctor——" I began. But he broke in, cursing the doctor in a feeble voice, but heartily. "Doctors is all swabs," he said; "and that doctor there, why, what do he know about seafaring men? I been in places hot as pitch, and mates dropping round with Yellow Jack, and the blessed land a-heaving like the sea with earthquakes—what do the doctor know of lands like that? and I lived on rum, I tell you. It's been meat and drink, and man and wife, to me; and if I'm not to have my rum now I'm a poor old hulk on a lee shore, my blood'll be on you, Jim, and that doctor swab;" and he ran on again for awhile with curses. "Look, Jim, how my fingers fidges," he continued, in the pleading tone. "I can't keep 'em still, not I. I haven't had a drop this blessed day. That doctor's a fool, I tell you. If I don't have a drain o' rum, Jim, I'll have the horrors; I seen some on 'em already. I seen old Flint in the corner there, behind you; as plain as print, I seen him; and if I get the horrors, I'm a man that has lived rough, and I'll raise Cain. Your doctor hisself said one glass wouldn't hurt me. I'll give you a golden guinea for a noggin, Jim." He was growing more and more excited, and this alarmed me for my father, who was very low that day, and needed quiet; besides, I was reassured by the doctor's words, now quoted to me, and rather offended by the offer of a bribe. "I want none of your money," said I, "but what you owe my father. I'll get you one glass, and no more." When I brought it to him, he seized it greedily, and drank it out. "Ay, ay," said he, "that's some better, sure enough. And now, matey, did that doctor say how long I was to lie here in this old berth?" "A week at least," said I. "Thunder!" he cried. "A week! I can't do that; they'd have the black spot on me by then. The lubbers is going about to get the wind of me this blessed moment; lubbers as could n't keep what they got, and want to nail what is another's. Is that seamanly behaviour, now, I want to know? But I'm a saving soul. I never wasted good money of mine, nor lost it neither; and I'll trick 'em again. I'm not afraid on 'em. I'll shake out another reef, matey, and daddle 'em again." As he was thus speaking, he had risen from bed with great difficulty, holding to my shoulder with a grip that almost made me cry out, and moving his legs like so much dead weight. His words, spirited as they were in meaning, contrasted sadly with the weakness of the voice in which they were uttered. He paused when he had got into a sitting position on the edge. "That doctor's done me," he murmured. "My ears is singing. Lay me back." Before I could do much to help him he had fallen back again to his former place, where he lay for awhile silent. "Jim," he said, at length, "you saw that seafaring man to-day?" "Black Dog?" I asked. "Ah! Black Dog," says he. "He's a bad 'un; but there's worse that put him on. Now, if I can't get away nohow, and they tip me the black spot, mind you, it's my old sea-chest they're after; you get on a horse—you can, can't you? Well, then, you get on a horse, and go to—well, yes, I will!—to that eternal doctor swab, and tell him to pipe all hands—magistrates and sich—and he'll lay 'em aboard at the 'Admiral Benbow' all old Flint's crew, man and boy, all on 'em that's left. I was first mate, I was, old Flint's first mate, and I'm the on'y one as knows the place. He gave it me at Savannah, when he lay a-dying, like as if I was to now, you see. But you won't peach unless they get the black spot on me, or unless you see that Black Dog again, or a seafaring man with one leg, Jim—him above all." "But what is the black spot, captain?" I asked. "That's a summons, mate. I'll tell you if they get that. But you keep your weather-eye open, Jim, and I'll share with you equals, upon my honour." He wandered a little longer, his voice growing weaker; but soon after I had given him his medicine, which he took like a child, with the remark, "If ever a seaman wanted drugs, it's me," he fell at last into a heavy, swoon-like sleep, in which I left him. What I should have done had all gone well I do not know. Probably I should have told the whole story to the doctor; for I was in mortal fear lest the captain should repent of his confessions and make an end of me. But as things fell out, my poor father died quite suddenly that evening, which put all other matters on one side. Our natural distress, the visits of the neighbours, the arranging of the funeral, and all the work of the inn to be carried on in the meanwhile, kept me so busy that I had scarcely time to think of the captain, far less to be afraid of him. He got down-stairs next morning, to be sure, and had his meals as usual, though he ate little, and had more, I am afraid, than his usual supply of rum, for he helped himself out of the bar, scowling and blowing through his nose, and no one dared to cross him. On the night before the funeral he was as drunk as ever; and it was shocking, in that house of mourning, to hear him singing away at his ugly old seasong; but, weak as he was, we were all in the fear of death for him, and the doctor was suddenly taken up with a case many miles away, and was never near the house after my father's death. I have said the captain was weak; and indeed he seemed rather to grow weaker than regain his strength. He clambered up and down stairs, and went from the parlour to the bar and back again, and sometimes put his nose out of doors to smell the sea, holding on to the walls as he went for support, and breathing hard and fast like a man on a steep mountain. He never particularly addressed me, and it is my belief he had as good as forgotten his confidences; but his temper was more flighty, and, allowing for his bodily weakness, more violent than ever. He had an alarming way now when he was drunk of drawing his cutlass and laying it bare before him on the table. But, with all that, he minded people less, and seemed shut up in his own thoughts and rather wandering. Once, for instance, to our extreme wonder, he piped up to a different air, a kind of country love-song, that he must have learned in his youth before he had begun to follow the sea. So things passed until, the day after the funeral, and about three o'clock of a bitter, foggy, frosty afternoon, I was standing at the door for a moment, full of sad thoughts about my father, when I saw some one drawing slowly near along the road. He was plainly blind, for he tapped before him with a stick, and wore a great green shade over his eyes and nose; and he was hunched, as if with age or weakness, and wore a huge old tattered sea-cloak with a hood, that made him appear positively deformed. I never saw in my life a more dreadful looking figure. He stopped a little from the inn, and, raising his voice in an odd sing-song, addressed the air in front of him: "Will any kind friend inform a poor blind man, who has lost the precious sight of his eyes in the gracious defence of his native country, England, and God bless King George!—where or in what part of this country he may now be?" "You are at the 'Admiral Benbow,' Black Hill Cove, my good man," said I. "I hear a voice," said he—"a young voice. Will you give me your hand, my kind young friend, and lead me in." I held out my hand, and the horrible, soft-spoken, eyeless creature gripped it in a moment like a vice. I was so much startled that I struggled to withdraw; but the blind man pulled me close up to him with a single action of his arm. "Now, boy," he said, "take me in to the captain." Sir," said I, "upon my word I dare not." "Oh," he sneered, "that's it! Take me in straight, or I'll break your arm." And he gave it, as he spoke, a wrench that made me cry out. "Sir," said I, "it is for yourself I mean. The captain is not what he used to be. He sits with a drawn cutlass. Another gentleman—" "Come, now, march," interrupted he; and I never heard a voice so cruel, and cold, and ugly as that blind man's. It cowed me more than the pain; and I began to obey him at once, walking straight in at the door and towards the parlour, where our sick old buccaneer was sitting, dazed with rum. The blind man clung close to me, holding me in one iron fist, and leaning almost more of his weight on me than I could carry. "Lead me straight up to him, and when I'm in view, cry out, * Here's a friend for you, Bill.' If you don't I'll do this;" and with that he gave me a twitch that I thought would have made me faint. Between this and that, I was so utterly terrified of the blind beggar that I forgot my terror of the captain, and as I opened the parlour door, cried out the words he had ordered in a trembling voice. The poor captain raised his eyes, and at one look the rum went out of him, and left him staring sober. The expression of his face was not so much of terror as of mortal sickness. He made a movement to rise, but I do not believe he had enough force left in his body. "Now, Bill, sit where you are," said the beggar. "If I can't see, I can hear a finger stirring. Business is business. Hold out your left hand. Boy, take his left hand by the wrist, and bring it near to my right." We both obeyed him to the letter, and I saw him pass something from the hollow of the hand that held his stick into the palm of the captain's, which closed upon it instantly. "And now that's done," said the blind man; and at the words he suddenly left hold of me, and with incredible accuracy and nimbleness, skipped out of the parlour and into the road, where, as I still stood motionless, I could hear his stick go tap-tap-tapping into the distance. It was some time before either I or the captain seemed to gather our senses; but at length, and about at the same moment, I released his wrist, which I was still holding, and he drew in his hand and looked sharply into the palm. "Ten o'clock!" he cried. "Six hours. We'll do them yet;" and he sprang to his feet. Even as he did so, he reeled, put his hand to his throat, stood swaying for a moment, and then, with a peculiar sound, fell from his whole height face foremost to the floor. I ran to him at once, calling to my mother. But haste was all in vain. The captain had been struck dead by thundering apoplexy. It is a curious thing to understand, for I had certainly never liked the man, though of late I had begun to pity him, but as soon as I saw that he was dead, I burst into a flood of tears. It was the second death I had known, and the sorrow of the first was still fresh in my heart. | AlexReadsClassics | UC0gI82EZme4xG-A-T0s9SQQ | 2014-01-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,160 | 11,020 |
y275_rK-ymQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y275_rK-ymQ | Solutions to Overpopulation and Resource depletion | I've decided to read out some comments which were left by people under my previous videos just to demonstrate that the idea that everything in the comments section of YouTube videos is vitriolic payal is just simply not true some very intelligent thoughtful people do have conversations in the youtube comment section so with that in mind the first one I've picked out is by man um he s I may be mispronouncing that here it goes the Cold War is heading for part 2 only the three main proponents are even crazier than before Trump and Kim threaten each other with nuclear weapons and now Putin is claiming to have the biggest best nuclear weapons in history I had hoped that after living through the Cold War part one that would be it yeah I agree things do seem to be racking up the attention is escalating and it does not seem healthy you have to wonder sometimes how much of it is Bluff but you know I don't think it's a good idea to be messing around with nuclear weaponry she goes on to write it sounds like your comment is incapable of envisaging anything outside of his own narrow-minded beliefs that's youssef macGruber she's talking about there the guy who thinks that there's no such thing as overpopulation or ecological carrying capacity and that women should be pushing out babies all the time na sorry I digress back to her comment I doubt that anything he is told will ever help change his mind maybe the news should get it maybe the news should it get worse will help though frankly I'd rather there were ignorant people and no nukes yeah I agree with that too he can't pick up the concept of irradiated soil making farming in places like that impossible for countless centuries probably not however mr. macGruber maybe you can enlighten us and tell us that you are able to take on board such concepts anyway another comment left by Sean in the clouds that seemed interesting to me there are more people on this planet that think like you than you or many like-minded people realize it's the matter of who's in power which is who has the money my husband and I told our two adult children that just because your parents had children doesn't mean you have to our daughter is 27 and does not want children our son is 31 and says the children that he teaches in his classrooms are the only children he needs my husband and I will not be grandparents and that's okay love your video of your shared thoughts thank you I do you know for a very long time I was one of those young people teenagers someone in my 20s and in my 30s and I did not want to bring children into the world but I got to the age of roughly it was I think as well as 39 I was very ill I ended up getting sepsis and I was in hospital in intensive care for about a week and I think of but I think of it as my close encounter with the Grim Reaper and that did make me think long and hard about life and death and it was round about that time that my wife and I decided that it might be a good idea to you know bring a child into the world and since we did our two little ones are you know wonderful little people and I hope that we can give them the best possible start in life and also that they are encouraged by us to lead lives which don't have negative major negative impacts on the planet and they they're not they don't go down the consumer route more on that another time that the whole concept of regarding people as consumers it's a kind of sad but partly true and not very healthy but anyway that's something I shall return to there's another one here I'd like to read out also by man a Mejias she says I understand exactly where you're coming from my biggest worry is the rise of the extreme right throughout the world not just because of the obvious reasons but because they seem to be the most selfish eg in the USA with Trump virtually demolishing any pro ecology legislation works organizations that Obama had set up just from a personal point of view I am I really am fairly apolitical I'm not a certainly not a fan of Trump wouldn't say I was a fan of Obama either but that's not to say either of them haven't done some good things I don't really claim to be an expert but obviously other people's opinions are interesting too to hear the EPA is being run into the ground by a climate change denier yes I think that is a very worrying saying the Environmental Protection Agency it's it boggles the mind that someone who is actively yes anti-scientific like that could be in charge of organization which purports to try to take care of the environment anyway carrying on sustainable food growth is something else which needs non ideological discussion and action a better understanding of what GM actually does for crop yields would be a good start where possible countries should limit the import of food and grow as much as possible themselves yep good point widening the types of crops grown in a single area has long been known to be the best way of growing with limited fertilizer pesticides etc rotation is centuries old and careful planning so that each crop which takes over the field in the following year uses different amounts and types of natural food in quotes leaving a year usually the fourth for its life a low brackets growing grass which can be turned into silage for winter cattle food closed brackets is the least stressful on nature I do worry about the future though I was much like you in that I never wanted kids when I was younger but somehow ended up with four I currently have two biological grandchildren and one step grandson and to be honest I hope that my other kids will not be in a hurry to have any of their own though one in particular would be an outstanding parent like my daughter who's had her own we just have to be fair and pay our fair share to help prevent the effects of climate change speeding up and what have I done it's disappeared sorry about that's modern technology let me just find a very wise I've got a page back but we just have to be fair and pay our fair share to help prevent the effects of climate change speeding up and harming the most vulnerable elsewhere I say that as a disabled gran who can't go to work anymore much to my and my bank's chagrin if it means I have to go without some things then so be it yeah I think that speaks for itself another one here from je hoyes I have a lot of optimism about the future I suspect we are on the verge of big leaps in technology and healthcare the global population is beginning to level out as more women get access to education health care and opportunity I'm hopeful that our dependence on fossil fuels will will recede as quickly as technology allows and I suspect this will happen very quickly over the next couple of decades I hope so and I would like to be idea some days I'm more optimistic than others sometimes when you watch the news what seems to be mostly bad news it's very discouraging and depressing even but at the same time there are good things happening in various places and it's almost like more and more people are waking up another concept I'd like to come back to I have this idea about how it's possible to wake up in multiple stages and you may you think you're fully awake or fully aware of something and then you learn something new and you wake up a bit more and you wake up a bit more it's not just you know from childhood into adolescence into adulthood but as as you keep going and learn more yeah it's an ongoing process waking up anyway back to je hoyes comment I chose not to have children for so many reasons I couldn't think of one legitimate reason to have children so I'm a bit of an antenna to list but not one that once here in extinction which I think would be a sad loss I don't think it would be terrible for the planets but it would be so sad to lose the one species on the planet that has the best chance of understanding and improving this shared existence meanwhile I go vegan yeah I I agree pretty much with that well put when it comes to vegan I'm not a vegan myself however it's a it is a direction I lean in I'm not vegetarian either but again I lean in that direction and I think you know if the amount of meat and dairy which the human race consumed was drastically reduced not necessarily by everyone stopping eating it all together but just instead of having meat three times a day you have it once or twice a week it's a step in the right direction another concept I'd like to come back to is it's not going to be passed it's not going to be possible to fix everything in the world in one fell swoop and even like a revolution which some people talk about where you tear the whole system down and start from scratch I think is I think the destruction will almost certainly outweigh the good it could do but a lot of people tweaking things here and there making small adjustments in their lives trying to improve things on however however smaller scale they is appropriate to them it's steering things in a better direction anyway another one here from deep ashtray seems to me we are going through a slow burn towards planet-wide biological impoverishment barring a major calamity such as an asteroid impact or full-scale nuclear war humans will most likely persist well into the future the question being how we will adapt to a planet increasingly devoid of functioning natural systems yeah I think deep ashtray has a pretty good and realistic understanding of the situation not too alarmist somewhat pessimistic and probably quite realistic pilgrim Peter pilgrim Potter I'm not sure how you pronounce that has written so David Attenborough I would imagine he doesn't say proposed a good point which I'm paraphrasing and enhancing here in that population stability can be achieved by globally empowering women to decide if they want a child rather than be a baby-making machine according to a patriarchal culture yes that the whole idea of educating women and allowing them access to contraceptives should they choose to use them I think is quite definitely a step in the right direction I'm certainly not a fan of abortion and that's something which often gets brought up whenever anyone whenever anyone talks about overpopulation they automatically assume that you're a pro-abortion I am definitely not but that does as a as a male I feel the time under qualified to intervene in women's lives and I do think it's ultimately the women in questions choice what they do with their own body so that may sound a bit weaselly but that's in case anyone's wondering and it does come up from time to time that's more or less what I think about abortion horrible thing but as a male I don't wish to interfere in the personal lives of women pilgrim Peter goes on to write I think converting deserts to arable land a good idea but it will only delay the problem of supply and demand for fertile soil it may buy dust time to come up with a solution as long as children are born to starve or live a life of abject poverty we surely have have a problem and this is another thing I want to come back to in more detail but brief summary it is possible to build soil literally from the air even the most infertile soils and deserts if you are able to irrigate them and start off by growing just whatever can grow there adding organic material which might just be the plants themselves once they've gone through their life cycle and start to build compost houmous that adds carbon into the soil and the carbon itself helps encourage bacterial bacterial growth and other microorganisms which can actually break up the break up consume the sand the stones the rocks the clay whatever's there which is not particularly fertile to plants directly and bring nutrients out of that so growing a variety of different plants on infertile soil does build up new soil and it's not something you need big machinery for it's not something you need artificial fertilizer for but it's something I would like to give a more thought-out prepared presentation about at some point so something I'd like to come back to I think I'll do one or two more of these and then stop I don't know because I cuz I'm recording this on one phone and reading it from another one I don't know how long I've been going on for I don't want to make these too long anyway Daniel lysander there is one small problem I would like to address smaller farms are usually also less effective they need more resources to grow the same amount of food I also think we should try to use deserts for solar farms and not agriculture however a balance needs to be struck so no one has to starve and gman six three six five responded to that his response was small plots can achieve higher yields per hectare than large plots they can even achieve this without the heavy use of fertilizers herbicides and pesticides that Western agribusiness uses remember these chemicals are generally made from raw material sourced from and by processes powered by oil further they are transported and applied by vehicles powered by oil factor in all the workers who traveled to and from work by oil powered vehicles and don't forget that the chemicals are transported in plastic containers that are themselves often a product of the petrochemical industry however such small plots do require a considerable increase in one resource mannose the question is how many man hours are equivalent to say a hundred liters of chemicals added to the soil without knowing this one can't say which approach is more resource heavy yeah I pretty much agree with all of that some one little thing I'd like to address is the the fact that people like me get genuine enjoyment out of pottering around and growing things I've been growing trees and shrubs and a small limited amount of food for a number of years and seeing things grow it's something I'd gladly do I don't care well I don't get paid for it it's it's a hobby but I would gladly do more of that and I think that working with nature directly and growing food is a real antidote you know people in the modern world the consumer heavy economy people living in big cities are very often very stressed out and I would not be surprised if a large number of people if they could spend more time on the land living off the land growing food even if it's you know not using heavy machinery it's late labor intensive it's not necessarily a bad thing Daniel Lassonde replied to the other comment well my standpoint is that with increased plot size you can make it more effective without increasing man-hours freeing up people to pursue other careers such as science now I have to admit that we do have a big problem with our emissions but and there is a but science has increased our effectiveness tremendously less fuel needed less maintenance less oil used we can never reach zero emissions of course but we can combat our emissions with replanting etc and that is used very much in the Western world we could also use better fuels such as alcohol or electricity as well yeah I think most of that makes make sense although I wouldn't say electricity is a fuel but you can certainly use alcohol biodiesel various other things to generate electricity as well as wind and solar and wave and hydroelectric and that sort of thing anyway those are the comments which I picked out to read because they make interesting points and at some point in the future when I have more spare time I would like to make more edited and prepared videos then I am able to at the moment so thank you for watching and see you next time | finlarg | UC790afp8il7owKjG2y1cG3g | 2018-03-09 | Creative

Paul's Parks and Recreation I'm here I don't think we've lost me I think we've lost you though Bodhi enough oh I know who's cutting out Tami tell me who's cutting out Andrew that's what I thought yeah Andrew you're cutting out yep you're doing the cutouts you're you gotta you got to stop trying to do the things with your microphone that are illegal in 13 states why just 13 states I think the other 37 didn't get around to making a law about it yet but they're working on it - working on it and we're going to end the goat story with just a you know I'm very busy this morning and the Gordy family

you're right you're a hit even one more story Oh [Music] scientists record deer growing oh you covered this can I'm gonna this might be on your top ten if you ever do your top ten there's another show that you started that you failed to carry through with that you killed that you drove into the ground the top ten show you know what you know the great part of the show is you know there's probably a pool going on when is bode just gonna pass out I think I think in three minutes and 12 seconds that's what I have my bunny open three months I'm gonna try to do this story and bode if at any point you feel like jumping in you could go ahead and jump in let me let me get this booted up here I'm gonna get these loaded up we got a video to play with this one okay ah oh wait so so then we're getting we're getting everything a hammer hey we're playing an added woody with MC Hammer MC Hammer cake world manuscript who's dead and see how much for his amateur still hammer coming in yeah then it's time just get automatically my command aminal her Emma got on them Hammer pants though man Oh commands you no harm and it scared me I'm a ninja Columbia got the worst type of hospitality just outside of a

look was getting out of a truck in front of us your friends over own all of this hair here's a video he's already heard regards and you love the guy that can read wall by the deal away a deer knock Wisconsin around but was a rare undercover destroy I want to cover those underneath it oh my god bode just died bode why you people are watching this story if you're on YouTube you're only seeing this story by itself if you're on Facebook alive you have seen funny slowly dissipate into a buffalo sleep deer are nothing if not symbols of why Titus and surely you've heard the term you're lied or have you seen the film Bambi who wrote this story Hillary Hanson Hillary he stopped it a study published in the Journal of forensic sciences this week revealed that dear yes those pictures of guileless guileless oh that's wonderful you used up it sent word it really doesn't fully apply in that context natural beauty have caught have been caught chowing down on human whoa whoa whoa whoa folks oh that was the headline scientistic oh wow so they not on some human remains I can't believe that Bodi when he heard about a deer gnawing on human range remains didn't jump to here in we report on the first known photographic evidence of deer nine human remains right scientists from detective forensic anthropology Reese oh my gosh listen to that Texas's forensic anthropology researcher oh my gosh that's way too many words why can't you just say from like a research group in the paper published Tuesday popular SADS reports that researchers they left okay they left they left it intentionally they left our human body out in the woods in 2004 they set up motion sensitive cameras so they could study how what scavenging species would do to the course are you kidding me they actually did a study like what do you think stab urging species are gonna do they're gonna be like young man you know usually usually I eat like whatever I can find it can't find a body it dead by anything you know mo go ahead no wanna whoa who got your human I'm better not but not no oh no human eye like they're not it's just me dude it's just me we're just meat to animals okay I I even think that I'm just meat to my dog my dog is like he's meat with a purpose so I'm gonna hold off on eating this meat but if this meat loses its purpose i'ma eat that meat it listen for a few months that the camera caught our antlered suspect a white-tailed deer with a human rib bone in its mother trait a human rib bone in its mouth well and look at that look at the picture of the deer they got Oh No sure wish I had a human bone cigar and mom all although it says here in the caption a shower wish I had a human bone cigar in my mall who wrote this who did they pay to write that I you can pay me I can write that for you I could write things like that all day long all day long baby I got these phrases all up in my head that's it where's the picture of the deers I'm disappointed hold on I got to find the picture of the deer okay deer eating human let me see if I can find it in the googles he'll look good oh we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna go ahead and such we're gonna such the googles are gonna look at the googles for the deer and there you go you go oh good there it is there it is the deer and the human the deers like coming it's kind of cute it's kind of cute and you know more power to you dear ladies gentlemen we've lost Bodie we've covered three stories somehow well I've covered one story hey I got it I I did I did no no that's right long Pig long Pig also heard of her - called Longboat ah quite the title don't feel important right I I don't want to see him puke live why Tammy why do you want to see employ God I would I would definitely want to see him puke live because that video lady is gonna get some views you know what um Fred okay so I'm gonna I'm gonna put the show and Bodie I'm not gonna put Bodie to bed I think Modi's already in bed I want to thank everybody who's her for watching the show Bodie wanted to do this show he did oh I like the the eternal egress or eternal whatever can we watch oh you know what can we no I'm not gonna do not gonna do that party wake up man he is gone and he's gone don't gone again I got hold on I got a I got a I got a song to play us out I'm gonna get a song to play us out and the title of the song is she's gone but you can imagine that it's instead of she's gone that it's he's gone so here we go we're gonna just play this out man thank you yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you know what you know what she's gone come on are you kidding me I don't care about this long intro yeah can you play it alright here we go here we go come on Hall come on oh we got nervous hey come on first we get there fall [Music] well | The iState Channel |

UDl8l3Bj9vw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDl8l3Bj9vw | Chemistry Form 2 Revision Pt2 (Comments/ Suggestions) | so let's go to question number 13. question number 13 is asking solution r s and t have ph values as shown so as you can see in this in this table we have solution r s and t with the ph values being 1 6.5 and 8 for t so the first question is asking what do you deduce about the nature of solution r or you can rephrase it we can refresh it like this what is the nature of solution r so the nature of solution r you see that r has a ph of one in the ph scale this is the ph scale because the ph scale ranges from 1 to 14. so ph scale is an indicator that helps us to know the acidity or the basicity of a substance so in this case we have r we have been asked what is the nature of solution r and we see that the ph is one so in the ph scale we know that between zero to three those are very strong acids between four to six those are weak acids seven is neutral so that is a neutral solution so apart from seven the next one we have is from eight to thirteen so from eight to rather from eight to eleven we have week basis and then from twelve to 14 we have strong bases so in this case we have r and r is ph1 so ph1 the nature of r is a strong acid so that is the nature of r it is a strong acid as explained by the ph scale so the next one we are being asked identify two solutions that will react to form a neutral solution so in this table r s and t identify two solutions that will react to form a neutral solution so remember uh like earlier the earlier questions we defined a neutralization reaction and we said neutralization reaction is a reaction whereby an acid reacts with the base so if an acid reacts with the base that type of reaction we say that it's called a neutralization reaction so why is it called a neutralization reaction because looking at the ph scale we see seven is the intermediate or seven is in the middle of acid and base so the acid is directly towards this side and the base is directly towards the side so if both of them react the ph tends to come at the center in that neutral region so if those two react they will tend to neutralize each other and that's why it's called a neutralization reaction so in this case identify two solutions that will react to form a neutral solution so the two that will direct to form a neutral solution obviously is an acid under base so in this case remember r is an acid and then also s is an acid seven remember we say that it is neutral so anything uh from 6.5 going towards one those are acids from 7.5 going towards 14 remember those are bases so in this case we have r which is one and t which is a base because it is eight so if r reacts with t we are going to get a salt and water that is neutralization so the answers to this we had r and t whereby r is an acid t is a base and also we had s and t whereby s in s is an acid and then obviously t that is a base so that was the answers to that so let's look at the next number which is question number 14. so question number 14 is asking state and explain the changes in mass that occur when zinc metal is is is heated in an open crucible so states what happens to the change in mass for zinc if zinc is heated in an open crooky bowl so what is going to happen the mass of the zinc is going to increase yeah the mass of zinc is going to increase so why is it that the mass of zinc is going to increase so the mass of zinc will increase because heating zinc it will force zinc to react with oxygen in the atmosphere so zinc is going to react with oxygen in the atmosphere forming zinc oxide like you can see so zinc is reacting with oxygen to form zinc oxide so let's assume the mass of zinc is five let's assume the mass of oxygen is two they are formed zinc oxide so the mass of zinc plus the mass of oxygen we are going to get a mass of seven this is just an example so that we can understand the numbers so the mass will be seven so it means that zinc has reacted with oxygen to form an even heavier compound with zinc oxide so if zinc is heated in oxygen it will react it will react with the oxygen to form a compound which is zinc oxide and therefore we see that zinc oxide is very dense so state and explain the change in mass that occurs when zinc metal is heated in open crooked ball if it's seated in open crooked ball obviously there is oxygen in there in that open croco ball therefore zinc will react with oxygen to form zinc oxide whereby zinc oxide will be denser than the zinc that that was there before and oxygen that was there before so what is a crucible what is this apparatus referred to as a crucible what is an apparatus so this term apparatus means that these are the equipments used in the laboratory to carry out experiments i didn't i did not say lab if you say lab in an exam you'll get it wrong so there is nothing in chemistry like club there is only laboratory so if i've been asked to find an apparatus you should never say that these are equipment used in the lab because of that lab you'll get everything wrong so you should say that these are the equipments used in the laboratory to carry out experiments that is an apparatus so in this case we have been given these operators which is a crucible what is a crucible so crucible as you can see this is an apparatus that is used to strongly heat substances or to strongly heat solid substances it's an apparatus that is used to strongly heat solid substances is referred to as a crucible yes that is that so question number 15 is asking the ph of soil sample was found to be 6.0 that is the ph remember the ph scale in the previous question we say that seven going on the lower side those are acids so it means that this is an acid so the ph of soil sample was found to be 6.0 an agricultural officer recommended the addition of lime lime is always calcium calcium oxide so stage two functions of lime in the soil so what are the functions of lime remember lime is basic in nature it is basic in nature so in this case the ph of the soil was found to be six six means that the ph of the soil is acidic so the soil is acidic in this case an agricultural officer recommended the addition of lime lime is basic lime is always basic so this reaction between an acid and the base remember we say that it is called a neutralization reaction so the ph of the soil sample was found to be 6.0 an agricultural officer recommended the addition of lime which is calcium oxide so stage two functions of lime in the soil why did the agricultural officer advise the farmer to add lime so state two functions of the lime in the soil so the first function of the lime was to neutralize the acidity nature of the soil that's the first function because the soil is acidic we're adding base it will neutralize that's the first function so the second function is to add nutrients so lime is to add the nutrients to the soil it acts as a fertilizer so it's going to also add nutrients to the soil and those were the two functions of adding the lime to the soil so the first function was to neutralize the acidity or the acidic nature of the soil and also to add nutrients to the soil so we are in question number 16 and it's asking using dots and crosses to represent uh use dots and crosses rather to represent the outermost electrons of the below compounds so the below compound we see that we have been given magnesium sulfide we have been given magnesium sulfide so we have been asked use dots and crosses to represent the bond or bonding to show the bonding in magnesium sulfide so in this case we know that magnesium so magnesium is a metal and then sulfide from the word sulfur is a non-metal so the atomic number of magnesium it's 12. the electronic configuration of magnesium is 2 8 2. so let's look at sulfur the atomic number of sulfur is always 16 the electronic configuration of sulfur is always 2 8 6 yeah it's 286 so since magnesium loses two electrons to be stable it is automatically it automatically becomes a metal and since sulphur gains two electrons in order to be stable it automatically becomes a non-metal so remember we say that metals react by losing electrons non-metals react by gaining electrons so and that's why you have this bond which is magnesium sulfide so what type of bond did we say is formed between metals and non-metals we say that the bond is ionic bond so ionic bond is the bond formed between metals and the non-metals that is the bond if you have been asked the structure formed between magnesium and sulfur and magnesium sulfide you say that the structure is giant ionic structure so the structure is giant ironic structure if you're being asked the bond the bond is ionic bond so in this case we are dealing with the magnesium sulfide magnesium sulfide is written as mgs so we are going to show the bond for mg s that is the chemical symbol of the compound is mgs so we know that the atomic number of magnesium is 12 and then configuration is 282 as you can see of sulfur is 16 and then configuration is 286 as you can see so you must we must have this basics in order to show the bonding if you don't know this basics you cannot show the bonding so it's a must for you to know the atomic number the electronic configuration it's going to lose how many it's going to gain how many for you to show the bonding so first to show the bonding for ionic bond we must have brackets so remember for covalent bonds we are using only the circle and the circles in turn or joining each other but for the ionic bond you must represent it with the brackets as you can see so that is the bonding for magnesium sulfide and then like apart from doing that as far as doing that so you must show this first element it is losing how many and then you must show also they are done it is gaining how many that must be there if that is not there you get it wrong so you must show that this uh this bracket this element has lost two the other one has gained two and also apart from gaining two in the gaining two you must show if this one was x in the other one in the sulfur you must show those two electrons that have been gained so you must show there x and x in the sulfur for you to complete the uh to complete the question and to get it correctly so question letter b in 16 we have been asked still the structure of the above compound so you have said that the structure is giant ionic structure the bond is ionic bond but the structure is giant ionic structure so remain always remember that and then we go to question c so c is asking give two properties of substances with the above structure so if you didn't get it correct in b it will be very hard for you to get it in c so this question is asking give two properties of substances or characteristics give two characteristics of substances with the above structure in b so the above structure in b remember say this giant ionic structure so what are the characteristics of giant ionic structure we see that the ionic structures they have a very high melting and boiling point that's the first one so the second the second property or characteristic we see that dionyx structures they conduct electricity only in liquid or aqueous or molten state and not in solid state so they conduct electricity in liquid aqueous or molten state but not in solid state for example the table salt at home the table salt does not conduct electricity in solid state but if you dissolve it in water it will conduct electricity so the other one is that ionic structure they form crystals like for example you see the salt at home that is a crystal example you see magnesium chloride we have calcium hydroxide we have calcium chloride uh we also have calcium sulfate which is blue in color we also have the sugar the sugar tom is an example of an ionic structure also we see that they are very hard and brittle it is very hard for you to cut ionic structure ionic structure let's say for example you take that salt from the yeah from the salt just at home you take that crystal and try to cut it so you'll notice that it is not as easy to cut as maybe as how you want to cut anything else so they are very hard and brittle brittle it means that they look like glass they mostly look like glass in nature so also we have we see that they have a very high uh enthalpy heat of fusion and enthalpy heat of vaporization so it is also very high for ionic structure and also they are good insulators so ionic structures are very good insulators so let's go to question number 17. so question number 17 is asking in an experiment a test tube full of chlorine water was inverted in chlorine water as shown in the diagram so as you can see this is what the question is talking about we have been asked that in an experiment a test tube full of chlorine water was inverted in chlorine full of chlorine rather was inverted in chlorine water as shown in the diagram and set up in sunlight for one day so remember we are here the sunlight so remember the sunlight and in the previous questions we dealt with this question and we saw that if the sunlight therefore there will be hypochlorous acid which will be decomposed but let's continue so after one day a gas was found to have collected in the test tube so after one day in that test tube there are some gas found on top of that test tube so the first question is asking identify the gas the gas we say that it is oxygen gas so let's try to reverse engineer this uh this equation or this question we see so if you reverse engineer this question you'll see that when chlorine reacts with water yeah if chlorine reacts with water we are going to obtain two acids so the first acid we are going to obtain is hydrochloric acid and then we are going to also obtain hypochlorous acid so hcl plus hocl that is chlorine reacting with water we're going to get uh hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid therefore remember he said that we have sunlight so sunlight is going to decompose the hypochlorous acid because hypochlorous acid is very unstable so sunlight is going to decompose the hypochlorous acid to hydrochloric acid and oxygen so that is why we obtaining the oxygen from from the decomposition of hypochlorous acid to hydrochloric acid and oxygen so that is where we are obtaining the oxygen from so identify the gas the gas is oxygen so the next question which is bs asking said the observations made when a blue litmus paper is dipped in chlorine water so if the blue litmus paper is dipped in chlorine water what is going to take place so remember we say that the non-metallic oxide they react with water to form acidic solution so if we take a blue litmus paper and dip it in chlorine water the blue lid massive is going to turn color from blue to red remember i did not say the the blue litmus paper will change to red or i didn't say the litmus paper will change to red i identified the colors so the blue litmus paper is going to change color from blue to red color so that is the best way to answer that question you don't leave it there because something else is going to take place so the blue litmus people change color from blue to red and then from red to white in color so that is the complete answer so why is it that it's going to change color from blue to red and then to white it is because the chlorine water which is the hypochlorous acid is going to bleach the litmus paper from red to color white so it's going to bleach the litmus paper the litmus paper will be bleached like for example you see at home we have jig we have topics and we have all those bleaching agents so that is how the bleaching agents work so these bleaching agents they use the hypochlorous acid to remove the stains and the dye from fabric and that is why it is advisable when soaking your clothes you should never leave those clothes in open sunlight most people they cover the the basin with another basin in order to prevent direct sunlight it's because if you leave those clothes or that water in open sunlight so sunlight is going to decompose the hypochlorous acid to hydrochloric acid and oxygen so the oxygen in this case is always the one responsible for removing the dye from the fabric so in this case the litmus paper is going to change color from the blue litmus will change color from blue to red and then it will bleach it will bleach meaning that the oxygen in hypochlorous acid is the one that will be responsible for removing the dye from there from the litmus paper so let's go to the next question which is question number 18. so the question number 18 is asking the elements the elements shown in the table below belong to a certain family of metals in the periodic table so study the information and answer the questions that follow so remember the chemical families in the periodic table what did we see we have we say that we have the alkali metals belonging to group one elements we have alkaline earth metals belonging to group two elements we have uh metalloids or we have charcoals belonging to group four elements we had halogens or salt producers belonging to group seven elements and then finally we had halogens so halogens uh rather not halogens but we had noble gases or enough gases or rare gases which are group eight elements so this question is asking about chemical families study the information and answer the questions that follow so define the term ionization energy what is the ionization energy ionization energy this is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the outermost energy level that is the ionization energy and we enter it and say that for example take a look at sodium we have sodium where by sodium loses only one electron so sodium will only have one ionization energy because it loses only one electron let's look at let's contrast with the magnesium magnesium loses two electrons in order to become stable therefore magnesium will not have two ionization energy no it will have the first ionization energy and the second ionization energy remember magnesium i didn't say it has to ionization energy generally you say it has two but to look at it specifically we say that magnesium has the first ionization energy to lose the first electron and then the second ionization energy to lose the second electron so magnesium mass the first and the second ionization energy let's look at aluminium mass number 13. aluminum loses three electrons in order to become stable so aluminum has the first ionization energy the second ionization energy and lastly the third ionization energy and for aluminium we see that the third ionization energy is always larger than the fast ionization energy the same mass magnesium the second ionization energy is always larger than the first ionization energy so this question is asking define the terminalization energy say that this the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the outermost energy level of an element in its gaseous state that is the definition of ionization energy and you should know the opposite of ionization energy is electron affinity so that's the opposite ionization energy remember you say that this is the the minimum energy required to lose electron electron affinity this the minimum energy required to gain electrons from the outermost energy level of an element in its gaseous state so the opposite of ionization energy is always electron affinity so the next question is asking which element is likely to have the highest ionization energy explained so which element has the highest ionization energy as you can see we have element s t and v let's look at the atomic size so the atomic size of s is 0.160 for t is 0.180 for v is 0.930 so which one has the highest ionization energy so the smaller the atom the higher the ionization energy or the smaller the atomic radius this atomic size the smaller the atomic size the higher the ionization energy therefore element s has the highest ionization energy because the outermost the outermost energy level or the outermost electrons are very close to the nucleus since they are very close to the nucleus it will require a very large amount of energy to remove an electron from the outermost energy level since a lot of energy will be required to remove the atomos energy level it will mean that the ionization energy must be very high in order to remove the electrons therefore since s is a very small atom it will have very high ionization energy since v is a very large atom since v is a very large atom it will require very low energy to remove the outermost electron from the outermost energy level so our answer here is s as the answer because it is a very small atom that is the answer so question number 19 is asking state 2 applications of solvent extraction so solvent extraction is a method of it's a method of extraction whereby we looked at the different methods of extraction whereby we saw we had fractional distillation filtration evaporation etc so solvent extraction is another method of extraction so this question is asking stage 2 applications or uses it is also uses so stage 2 applications or uses of solvent extraction so the first one we can see that solvent extraction can be used to extract different medicines from plants so soylent extraction can be used to extract different herbal medicines from plants so also solvent extraction can be used to extract natural dyes from the plant example from the flowers so it can be used also to extract the dice the different colors or the different dyes from the plants also solvent extraction can be used to extract caffeine from tea or coffee so it can be used to extract caffeine from tea or coffee it can also be used to extract oil from nuts it can also be used uh to remove dyes from fabric yeah so it can also be used to remove the different types of dyes from fabric because the the method of that we said that you are using hypochlorous acid can also fall under solvent extraction so whereby we are using the hypochlorous acid to remove the dye from fabric so that is another application of solvent extraction removal of dye from fabric so far so good let's go to question number 20. so question number 20 is asking so this is a diagram of aluminium trichloride of yeah it's an aluminum trichloride if you condense the the compound you'll get aluminium trichloride so we have two bonds so the question is asking the diagram below represents the structure of our aluminium trichloride so identify the bonds labeled m and n so it's an aluminium hexachloride that's the the name for al2 cl6 dye aluminium hexachloride and i said you can compress it to only aluminium trichloride alcl3 so the diagram below represents the structure of the aluminium hexachloride so identify the bonds labeled m and n so what are these bonds so first of all you see we have bond labeled m bond labeled m that is a covalent bond bond labeled n that is additive or a coordinate bond if you can look at this compound it's an aluminum reacting with chlorine aluminum what's the nature of aluminum aluminium is a metal chlorine what's the nature of chlorine chlorine is a non-metal so we see that they form a bond which is not an ionic bond this bond is a covalent bond why is it that aluminium drags with chlorine form a covalent bond why is it not an ionic bond because earlier only say that when metals react with non-metals they form an ionic bond and they form a giant ionic structure but in this case we see that aluminum is reacting with chlorine this reaction they form a covalent bond and not an ionic bond what is the reason so we see that in the periodic table this aluminum element it's it reacts in a very special way as compared to all the other metals in the periodic table that is the 20 elements of the periodic table to be specific so this aluminum we see that it reacts by losing electron so since it reacts by losing electrons it forms a very small atom so since it forms a very small atom that small atom reacts with other nanometals to form covalent bonds and not ionic bonds so the answer is that since aluminum reacts by losing electrons it becomes it therefore becomes a very small or a very tiny atom since it becomes a very tiny atom it reacts with now the non-metals or different non-metals to instead form covalent bonds apart from forming ionic bond and that's why aluminum is a very special atom it reacts the non-metals to form covalent bonds and not ionic bonds so bond labeled m is a covalent bond and not ionic bond it's a covalent bond so the bond labeled n that is a that is a dative bond additive bond or a coordinate bond so dative bond what did they define native bond or coordinate bondings we say that the additive bond this is a special type of bond uh formed like whereby one atom donates two electrons to be shared for covalent bond both atoms donate equal electrons to be shared but for the dative bond one atom is going to donate two electrons so this other atom is going to be a spectator atom but one is going to donate two electrons to form the chemical bond and as well again we went through this and we say that you may you might be asked in an exam explain why a coordinate bond is a special type of covalent bond so the answer the answer to that will say that it is a special type of covalent bond because in covalent bond both atom donates equal amount of electrons to be shared but but in coordinate bond it's only one atom that donates two electrons to be shared so the other one remains to be a spectator ions one donates two electrons to be shared so that is that so letter b is asking what is the difference between bond m and bond n that is just what you have just gone through bond m is a covalent bond because both atom donates to electrons or both atom donates equal amount of electrons to be shared while bond n is a coordinate bond whereby it is only chlorine that arrow points where electrons are going it is only chlorine that has donated two electrons to be shared so in the coordinate bond remember that arrow shows the direction whereby electrons are going so since the arrow points away from chlorine it means that the electrons are coming from chlorine going towards the aluminum so it is chlorine that has donated two electrons to be shared so let's go to the next number which is question number 21. so question number 21 is asking from the following list of compounds we have zinc oxide we have potassium carbonate we have solid carbon 4 oxide we have nitric acid and ion 3 chloride and sodium chloride so from these compounds that you can see here so identify two substances that sublime identify two substances that sublime so the first substance that sublime is solid carbon four oxide so remember i did not say it is carbon four oxide if you only say it is carbon peroxide you are going to get it wrong so you must specify and say it is solid carbon four oxide so the answer is not carbon four oxide but must be solid carbon foxide remember carbon four oxide gas does not sublime it is a gas so it must be specific and say that it is solid carbon for oxide so that's the answer so the other one is ion 3 chloride so ion 3 chloride also sublimes remember we we looked at the different chlorides that sublime we say that we had ion 3 chloride we had cobalt two chloride and also we had uh phosphorus five chloride yeah we had phosphorus five chloride those were the chlorides that we identified the sublime apart from that we had benzoic acid also sublimes we had iodine it also sublimes and we also had naphthalene those are the substances that's that sublime so the next question roman 2 is asking identify two substances that react to form salt and water only so the substance is reacting to form salt and water only here we must react what an acid and a base so remember the general equations that we formed so if an acid reacts with the metal if an axis reacts with the metal we form salt plus hydrogen gas if an acid reacts with the base we get salt plus water if an acid reacts with the metal carbonate we are going to get salt plus water but since it is a carbonate we are going to add carbon for oxide as you can see so if an acid reacts with the metal hydrogen carbonate we are going to get salt plus water yes because it's a base we are going to get salt and water as the base and then since it there is a carbonate we must get also carbon for oxide so remember this for general formula so in this case you are being asked identify two substances that react to form salt and water only so these two substances we must react a base and an acid so in this case we have uh we have nitric acid it's the first acid we have identified so we have nitric acid and we also have zinc oxide so if nitric acid reacts with zinc oxide we are going to get zinc nitrate and also we're going to get water so zinc nitrate being the salt and water being the water so that is the answer so let's go to question number 22. so question number 22 is asking the figure below is a setup uh the figure below is a setup to investigate the reaction of calcium with water so calcium is reacting with water in this case so as you can see this is the diagram whereby we have gas let us see we have water and then we have calcium metal so start the observations made in the water so the observations made in the water will be there'll be some formation of white suspension in the water why yeah so there'll be some formation of white suspension of water implying that the atmosphere or rather the yeah the atmosphere has some traces of carbon for oxide so you see that calcium hydroxide calcium is going to react with water from calcium hydroxide if you leave that calcium hydroxide left in the atmosphere it is going to react with carbon 4 oxide to form calcium carbonate now this calcium carbonate or calcium hydrogen carbonate if the carbonate if the carbon foxite is excess in the atmosphere is the one that is going to change the color of the the colorless solution inside the beaker or inside the trough from colorless to white so say the observations made in the water there will be some formation of white suspension so identify gassy so gassy it is always hydrogen gas why is it hydrogen gas as you can look at this equation when metals react with water they form metal hydroxide plus hydrogen gas like as you can see in this equation so calcium metal reacted with water so if calcium metal reacts with water we are going to get calcium hydroxide plus hydrogen gas therefore gas c is always hydrogen gas because it is a metal reacting with water to get a metal hydroxide plus hydrogen gas so that is that so let us see is asking state-run laboratory application of the solution formed in the reaction in this case what's the solution the solution is calcium hydroxide let's look at the equation again so the equation we are reacting calcium plus water if you react calcium plus water we are going to get calcium hydroxide plus hydrogen gas so that is what we are going to obtain calcium hydroxide plus hydrogen gas so in this case the solution is calcium hydroxide now this calcium hydroxide if it reacts with carbon oxide in the atmosphere we're going to get calcium carbonate plus water molecules if the carbon foxite is excess in the atmosphere therefore are going to get calcium hydrogen carbonate but the question is asking state one laboratory application of the solution formed in the reaction so the solution formed calcium reacting with water we get calcium hydroxide so this is the application of calcium hydroxide calcium hydroxide it is used in the laboratory to test for the presence of carbon for oxide in the atmosphere that is the only function so the only function of calcium hydroxide here that can be used in the laboratory it's that it is used to test for the presence of carbon foxide in the atmosphere and that is that so question number 23 is asking stitch two types of salts based on nature and two types of salts based on composition so stage two types of salts based on nature and two types of salts based on composition so let's first of all look at the two types of salts based on composition so this composition what does it mean so the salts based on composition is what is making up that salt so the elements present inside that salt that is what it means by composition so the salt's based on composition so the first one we have we have acid salts apart from that remember we say that we had from acid we have basic salts after basic salts we have normal salts after normal salts finally we have double salts so those are the salts based on composition meaning that what is inside those so the elements that make up that salt based on composition so the next one we have salts based on the nature so the nature means how they behave in the atmosphere so remember we have salts based on composition what elements make up that salt and then we also have salts based on the nature so how that salt behaves in the atmosphere so the salt's based on nature first of all we have a fluorescent salt uh let's start from the liquid sensors so you have the liquid sensors what are the liquid central so these are the salts that when left exposed to the atmosphere they absorb water and form solutions those are the liquids and salts apart from that the other salt based on nature we have hygroscopic salts so what are hygroscopic salts these are salts when left in the atmosphere they absorb water from the environment but form damp substances or they form damp salts so remember for the liquid they absorb water and form solutions for the for hygroscopic salts they absorb water but only form damp solid substances then lastly the salt based on nature we have a fluorescent salt so a fluorescent salt these are the salts that were left exposed to the atmosphere they will lose water into the surrounding or we can say they will lose water of crystallization into the surrounding so for the liquid and salt and hygroscopic salt they all absorb water for a fluorescent salt they lose water to the atmosphere so we have those types of salts based on composition normal salt acid salts not acidic salts don't say acidic salts it is acid salts so the acid salts they have they have hydrogen ions inside them for example you have sodium hydrogen carbonate we have magnesium hydrogen carbonate so since they have that hydrogen that hydrogen plays a very important role in making those salts behave like acids even though they are they they are basic salt so if you react these salts yes they are basic they'll react like a base but some traces of that salt they are going to behave like acid because of that hydrogen so that's why they are called acid salts apart from that we have basic salts because of the oh and then we have the double salt and then salts based on nature we have the liquids and salts they absorb to form solution we have hygroscopic salt they absorb water from damp solid substances we have a fluorescent soils which lose water into the surrounding so that is that so romantic is asking name the following processes when anhydrous calcium chloride is left in an open beaker overnight some days it turns into powder so when anhydrous calcium chloride anhydrous calcium chloride is left in an open beaker overnight uh a solution is formed so what like what does it mean by anhydrous anhydrous salt this is a salt that doesn't have water of crystallization hydrated salt these are salt that has water of crystallization in this case we have been asked anhydrous calcium chloride is left in an open beaker overnight in the morning you will find that it formed a solution so it formed a solution so it means that this salt was left in the atmosphere being dry in the morning we came and looked at that salt so it had formed a solution so what is the name of that process so this process is referred to as the liquid sense so as you can see the process has been underlined the process has been set into bold the process has been done everything because the question is specific the question is asking about the process if it's the process they are asking for the process is the liquid sense so the type of salt is at the liquid salt but the process is delicious so you must take note of that so the process is the liquid sense so the next one the next which is uh b is asking when sodium carbonate the carbohydrates crystals are left open uh are left in an open beaker for some days it turned into powder so dehydrate means that deca what's the meaning of deca deca means 10 decahydrate 10 molecules of water that is the hydrate for example if you have been told pentahydrate pentapenta means 5. so 5 molecules of water hexahydrate hexa means six molecules of water heptahydrate hepta means seven molecules of water octahydrate octa means eight molecules of water non-hydrate nona means nine and then in this case we are being told that it is sodium carbonate deca hydrate meaning that it is sodium carbonate but has 10 molecules of water so we're going to write na2co3.10 h2o to represent that it's sodium uh sodium carbonate but it is hydrated it has ten molecules of water going back to their question when sodium carbonate the hydrate crystals are left in an open beaker for some days it turned into powder so the sodium carbonate was hydrated it was left in the atmosphere it lost water of crystallization so it turned into powder so what is the process the name of the process the process is a fluorescence so that is the name of the process the process is a fluorescence so remember the type of salt is which type of salt based on nature it is an a fluorescent that's a fluorescent salt but what is the process name so the process name is a fluorescence so that is the process name so let's go to question number 24. what is question number 24 asking so it is asking the following diagram shows the structure of two allot drops of carbon so study them and answer the questions that follow so we have the two allotropes of carbon so the allotropes you know the allotropes of carbon we have soot we have graphite we have diamond we have amorphous carbon and also we have furelin that is fully full fullerene so we also have that kaffoola root over there so name the allotrope d and e so as you can see name these two allotropes allotrope d and allotrope e so what's the name given to allot d that is always the structure of graphite whereby for the structure of graphite we see that it is only for each carbon it is only three electrons that are used to form that structure it is only three because each dot over there you see that it is bonded to three bonds one two three one two three so the valency of carbon the atomic number of carbon is six the electronic configuration of carbon is two and then two four so it means that the valency of carbon is positive or negative 4. that is a metalloid or it's found in the family of charcoals it is a metalloid why is it called a metallic it's called a metalloid because it can either lose for electrons to be stable to behave like metals or it can gain four electrons to be stable and behave like non metals so that is why it is called a metallic it is exactly found in the intermediate of the eight maximum electrons of the outermost energy level of the second energy level so that's why it can be of us non-metals lose for or it can give us non-metals gainful or metals lose four for the graphite you see that it is each carbon atom that is those dots that you can see each carbon atom is only using three electrons apart from four so it means that one electron has been left to freely roam around graphite and that's by the the reason why graphite conducts electricity that's the reason so element d is graphics element e is diamond so that is always the structure of diamond so diamond those bonds those dark lines those dark lines are always called the strong covalent bonds the strong covalent bonds of diamond they are the ones responsible for making diamond a very strong metal why because diamond is the bones in the diamond or rather the carbon atoms in diamond they are held together by strong covalent bonds for graphite those dotted lines those are weak van der waals forces so graphite atoms of carbon they're held together by weak van der waals forces and that's why you can write with graphite graphite can conduct electricity etc for diamond it is a very strong metal because the carbon atoms are joined together by very strong covalent bonds so let's go to question b it's asking which allotrope does not conduct electricity between d and e which one does not conduct electricity explained so the allotrope that does not conduct electricity in these two is diamond allotrope letter e why is it that anatomica it does not conduct electricity so allotrope letter it does not conduct electricity because it uses all the electrons to form uh to form the bond so let's continue to question number 25. so question number 25 is asking that ion 3 chloride can be prepared in the laboratory by passing dry chlorine gas over hot steel so remember this question is asking that you are reacting iron with chlorine gas so if you react on a metal with the non-metal in chemistry preparation of salts so that process is always referred as direct synthesis whereby we are reacting a metal directly with the non-metal to prepare the salt so the question is saying that anti-chloride can be prepared in the laboratory by passing dry chlorine gas over hot steel iron or rather hot steel wool so steel oil is just the normal steel that you use at home to clean the suphurias to clean the utensils so we are passing chlorine gas over that substance so letter is asking so name the above method of preparing salt so this method as we had said it is direct synthesis whereby direct synthesis this the method whereby we are reacting a metal and a non-metal in order to prepare a salt so let's go to question number b so question number b is asking why should we prepare the salt in dry environment so you should prepare the salt in dry environment because this iron three chloride is water loving meaning that it readily absorbs water in the atmosphere forming compounds so it will prepare it in dry environment in order to avoid the iron three chloride that will be formed to absorb the moisture in the atmosphere so question c is asking so a solution of iron iii chloride in water changes blue litmus paper to red explain so a solution of iron three chloride changes a blue litmus paper to red when dissolved in water so as you can look at this equation we're acting on three chloride with uh with water so if we react on three chloride with water we are going to get ion 2 hydroxide and hydrochloric acid now this hydrochloric acid is the one responsible for changing the blue litmus paper from blue to red in color thereby the ph of the solution being acidic the hcl is the one responsible for doing that so a solution of iron iii chloride in water changes blue litmus paper to red explain so if you dissolve iron three chloride in water we're going to get ion 3 hydroxide yes it's ion 3 hydroxide plus hydrochloric acid in aqueous form so the hydrochloric acid in aqueous form is done responsible for changing the blue litmus paper from blue to red in color so question number 27 is asking so the figure below represents a setup that was used to demonstrate the existence of component of air so as you can look at the that's the setup then the first question is asking what is the purpose of water uh from the top so it's the purpose of water from the top so the purpose of water from the top is just to push the air through the calcium hydroxide so that's the purpose of water if we pump water it's going to push the calcium hydroxide we didn't induce the air from the laboratory because maybe it had other impurities so we are using water in order for the water now to push the air through the calcium hydroxide solution so other than the bubbles give the other observation made in the test tube so we saw bubbles so the other observation made in the test tube is that the the calcium hydroxide changed color from colorless to a white precipitate so the calcium hydroxide formed how it precipitated implying that the air that was entering uh had some traces of carbon four oxide so remember the previous questions we discussed and said that any time you see bubbles or anytime you see gas being passed through calcium hydroxide we are testing for the presence of carbon 4 oxide so in this case we'll say that calcium hydroxide change color from colorless to white in color or form the white precipitate implying that carbon foxide was present so the observation is that calcium hydroxide change color from colorless to avoid precipitate so name a gas that was not absorbed by calcium hydroxide so this calcium hydroxide only in air only absorbs carbon four oxide so calcium hydroxide in air only absorbs carbon for oxide so the other gases in the component of air the other gas is not absorbed by calcium hydroxide we have oxygen we have nitrogen we have enough gases so these gases were not absorbed by calcium hydroxide but it's only carbon foxite that was absorbed by the calcium hydroxide forming a white precipitate of calcium carbonate so the next question is asking so the grade below is part of the periodic table and the last question this is the last question so grade below is part of the periodic table so study it and answer the questions that follow as you can see obviously the letters don't represent the actual symbols so we have been given the grid with the letters jumbled up on the grid so the letters don't represent the actual symbol we have letter a to letter k and h e t c so the first question is asking element a fits in two groups element a it fits in two groups uh whereby you can see a is there in group number alkali metals and it's also there in the halogens so explain why is it that a can fit in both groups so a can fit in both groups because we see that a can either lose one electron to be stable if it loses one electron it will be in alkali metals so alkali metals they lose electrons in order to be stable or a it can be placed in halogens in group number seven because a since it can either lose one electron or gain one electron it can also fit in halogens group uh if it will lose that one electron it can fit in the halogens group if it will gain one electron it will fit in the alkali metals group that is group number one so the answer is that a can either lose one electron to fit in alkali metal or gain one electron to fit in the halogen the halogen group so b is asking name two elements that can form ions with the charge of negative one explain your answer so name two elements that can form ions with the charge of negative one so this is automatically elements in group number seven elements in group number seven their charge is always negative one meaning that they can they can only gain one electron in order to become stable so the elements we have element a e and h so they form compounds with the charge of negative one or they form ions with the charge of negative one so how does the reactivity of h and e compare so they are all in group seven elements these are all non-metals so how does the reactivity of e and h compare so you see that e will be more reactive than h so for the non for the metals remember the larger the atomic radius for the metals the higher the reactivity of that metal so for example like if a metal has a very small uh the atomic radius is very small and the other metals the atomic radius is very large so the one which has very large atomic radius will be the most reactive for the non-metals it's directly opposite so the non-metal that has the smallest atomic radius that is the most reactive and then that has the largest atomic radius that is the the least reactive this is because the non-metals react by gaining electrons so like as the non-metals are the smaller the atomic radius for the non-metals the faster it will gain electrons here the faster it will gain electrons in order to become stable so the larger the atomic radius for the non-metals the slower it will gain electrons in the outermost energy level in order to become stable in this case we see that e has a very small atomic radius as compared to h that will mean that e will be more reactive since it has a very small atomic radius as compared to h so let's go to question letter d is asking what name is given to the group of elements whereby c and d belong so c and d belong to that group is referred group 2. group 3 is referred to as alkaline at metal so those are alkaline earth metals so write the formula of the compound formed when c and f react so if we react c from group two and f from group number six we are going to get c f so the formula it's only the formula of compound is only c f so lastly draw dots and cross to represent a compound formed in here above so draw using dots and crosses show the bonding form between c and f so remember c is a metal so c is a metal and then f is a non-metal so this type of bond that is being shown here so this type of bond is referred to as ionic bond so and that bond is referred to as ionic bond whereby we must use brackets to show ionic bond | KCSE BIOLOGY | UC7yCYetBqmvEX_yVXbKi_xA | 2021-07-22 | Creative Commons Attribution license

RDbUiQxbzdE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDbUiQxbzdE | 🇫🇷 Day in my life | Solo traveller in Nice, France | Digital Nomad | hi I'm Anna in March of 2022 I decided to leave Vancouver after almost 10 years of calling the West Coast home in search of a more fulfilling life join me as I start my journey traveling through Europe as a digital Nomad discovering new places living out my foodie dreams while doing it all on my own well not totally on my own I have this camera and you watching so grab a cup of coffee subscribe to my channel like this video and let's catch up on last week's vlog [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] my friends I have left you hanging for the day I have been back in nice since yesterday around 4 pm but to be honest Monaco and nesby Lodge me clean I am tired I went to sleep at like 9 30. completely passed out and then didn't wake up till 7 A.M to be honest today I've just been having a day foreign because my friend called me which is so nice so traveling leaves you quite lonely sometimes and to be honest staring in an Airbnb you take the risk but it's really not risky to not meet people so to talk with a friend back home and just in my language and just be able to chat away with really heartwarming and it gives me that kind of boost I mean we decided to treat myself for dinner so we went out to call the not no hot dog it's called it's a vegan hot dog place which I found on the happy cow app which I will link below it was 850 Euros we just walked around in the park we've come back to my Airbnb we've also bought this is like my thing we bought another Fanta you know some people they do the cigarette thing some people like wine every night this seems to be my thing which does not surprise me since I love sugar so cheers good night [Music] I left you last night as I was getting ready for bed we've spent the day at share co-working which was a co-op kind of co-working space where some people have permanent desks it costed me 24 with tax Euros for a half day working there which was pretty expensive I did get some of what I needed to get done but honestly my Airbnb just hasn't had the strongest Wi-Fi which has made working really frustrating I'm going to go out for dinner to Chez people which they make crepes with chickpea flour which I think is quite ironic because it's quite the trend in Vancouver right now to make these kind of crepes with chickpea flour in the vegan scene but it seems like this has been around for quite a while especially at this family restaurant from the 1920s I could hear the other day about this is plus Garibaldi for whatever reason Vancouver also has a mountain called Garibaldi and I believe it's a person it's just a plaza though on our way to dinner to shed people I was pronouncing it wrong I was pronouncing the Zed people this is the neighborhood that I haven't walked in we're closer to the port and one of the main marinas and you can see up above there's a bunch of houses Middle School is it up on that mountain side [Music] all right the first one is Soca with green onions foreign [Music] which the server said is better with pepper [Music] verdict I like the one with green onion better it just tastes like a omelette but not eggy but crispy and salty a little bit like chickpea but not as much as you would think it doesn't taste like awesome no aquafaba yum foreign that was a yummy meal I do recommend going there I think if you go with another person it's always better because you get to try more but I had the simple Soca and The Soca with a green onion there it is anyway but it was enough food for me with a little salad probably could have done without it because I don't know why we paid three Euros for like arugula anywhere in the world but I got into the tourist trap um I had a nice glass of rose and we're just gonna walk down towards the port just because we're near here and then we'll start walking home but I'm proud of myself going out for dinner and really good at making friends with older people there was a gentleman next to me with a beautiful fedora hat that had a Canadian pin on it the same one I have on my backpack so I had to ask him hello you have a maple leaf on you are you from Canada and turns out he was just there in the 80s to get his Masters and his PhD from McGill so I don't know why he wears it now 40 years later but anyway we had a nice conversation there was an Italian woman next to me earlier got to meet her dog Daisy so I have found the people of nice to be extremely friendly very welcoming to be English-speaking and I'm really just enjoying this town and would come back here we definitely have the influence of Monaco there's a full cruise ship here this is the port of nice I'd like to welcome you to my next place I'm staying for a week I'm just kidding this boat is freaking huge look at that it is not a cruise ship it's probably a personal yacht but there's definitely like four layers to it and it's just a lot of extra just sitting right there it's called the m that's all I can tell you the question is who owns it do they need friends or companions I'm just kidding I don't want to be that but I will bake for you I wouldn't beg to live on that boat like big cookies I mean this is the whole other side of nice that I have not yet explored basically the other side of the port we can see the drying cruise ship here and on the other side of the port is another area because up here was a castle that I explored a few days ago so it's quite big there's lots to see this whole street seemed to have tons of restaurants but it seems that makes sense coming off the cruise ships but you know I quite like I'm enjoying my time so much here let me backtrack I enjoyed my time in Madrid Valencia Barcelona everywhere else but there's just I feel safer here the pace of life is a bit slower yet there seems to be hustle and bustle you see the water you see mini mountains Hills it's just wow okay hang on we've got a plain incoming a cruise ship departing and a beautiful rocks in the background [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] having one of those movie moments with that sunset in the background someone asked me on my q a box today which I do every Friday what's one thing that's been so tedious about traveling and it's just like figuring out the next place combining content Creation with living in the moment and sometimes I just put the camera down and I just go where the heck am I and this is definitely one of those moments with the planes that land right here during our magical evening with a scoop of coconut gelato I always get coconut Wherever I Go basically trying to find the best coconut gelato in the world this one tastes a little bit more fake than last night's but nonetheless still good we're gonna end the Vlog this evening here not sure what's up what I'm doing this weekend but you'll find out soon good night good morning friend I'm sending some things home to Canada that I packed that I have never used through them so I've been on the road now for over a month and I only packed carry-on but there's definitely some items that I've never even touched and I've decided to ship them all I purchased this box from the French post office for two Euros some items I'm sending home is first of all a really pretty postcard from these just for my parents when they get this I found Finders Keepers kind of situation at a better converter that was left in the hostel bed that I stayed in in jean-tilly branches outside of Paris so I'm gonna send this bigger one home because my other one's smaller I bought a European MacBook charger since being here because this one is too heavy in the converters that I have and to go with that I never use this extension cord and it comes with you comes with it when you buy MacBook chargers I'm really debating I brought two bathing suits with me I haven't even used one because it hasn't been quite warm enough I'm headed to Malta next wondering if I'm going to regret setting a bathing suit home then I also figured if I really needed a second one I could buy a second one again or borrow my sisters when I'm in Malta with her so I think I'm gonna ship this one home and I'm keeping my two piece with me I've never used this headlamp just an extra pouch instructions to my charger makeup brush a keychain I've used ones this is like one of those toothpaste squeezers I've just never used this is the best ladies take a screenshot this is the best makeup remover I've ever used and it's 125 milliliters of this container and I've already refilled my travel bottle so the rest of this is going home because [Music] this is something I thought I would use more is my money fanny pack it's um great because it can fit under clothes but I've just been using my purse and this is just sat in my suitcase for a month so we're gonna try and pack it all up the last thing is I'm gonna get rid of a pair of pants these pants are fantastic they're the on the Fly loot lemon pants but inviting them not to fit anymore because I got a little toned from all the walking they definitely are dirty but I'm shipping them back so sorry when you open this box it's probably gonna be stinky I don't need it anymore and I could use the space in my suitcase again foreign [Applause] [Music] foreign [Applause] I have not been on the camera in the last two days but to give you a quick update of the game last night as everyone gathered in the plaza to watch niece did lose when nothing I checked this for in the

uo1m65w8X60 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo1m65w8X60 | Yaron Lectures: The Moral Case for Inequality and Entrepreneurship | okay hello everybody thank you for being here at Romanian American diversity we are very proud to host this event we like representative of Romania American University and much host my colleague from the Marriott center and our partners and friends from in the same time we are very honored because his Excellency mr. Marchan will seek the ambassador of Poland it's here with us today and of course because we have a very special guest I will know for you just a brief introduction in order to each other a little bit from that time the topic of today is the morality of inequality and the fellowship and our special guest it's dr. Alan Brooke director of Englund Institute in Irvine California he's the author of several books on the topic of capitalist and income inequality and constant contributor for different newspapers and magazines like Forbes was the journal USA Today and the member of Association of private enterprise application and of the Mont Pelerin Society now I'll ask a Korean group we'll have the floor you can remain it's not a problem you better be a good oh thank you it's a real pleasure and honor to be yeah okay it's better if you a pleasure an honor to be here thank you all for for coming and I'm again I'm gonna start a conversation and you know talk for a little while but feel free to jump in with questions if you have them I want to make this as interactive as we can as a small group I've already got some friends who at my talk last night who are ready to challenge me on pretty much everything I say I want to start the discussion of what has become one of the major topics really of debates in the culture in the West today and that's the whole issue in question of inequality we be told by leading authorities in the world from the Pope to President Obama to pretty much every world leader out there that this is the issue of our time to think that we should be most concerned about so let's try to think about what is inequality what we mean by inequality so the concern is the gap between the rich and the poor or between the rich and of a class or some definition but the problem they see in the world around us is a gap between those who've been very very successful and those who seem to still be in poverty and the idea is that this gap is a reflection of something really really wrong in the world in in the culture in which we live that there's a real problem here both a moral problem an ethical problem and an economic problem and indeed they have invented all kinds of economic theories to explain that this gap is now holding back economic growth in the West and has become a real obstacle to economic success in countries that have large inequalities now I would challenge all of them because what is this gap and what does indeed does it reflect and let's let's do a little bit of history before we before we talk about the modern times what was in equality like 300 years ago was inequality like 300 years ago what percentage of the population 300 years ago was we could define as poor 50% 20% 5% even what about around the baby I would actually argue over 90 percent almost everybody was poor 300 years ago almost everybody was poor three years ago there was very little inequality you're furious depressed up here and everybody else with these either a subsistence farmer a subsistence farmer somebody who farms and each what they could use Oh a workman in some you know in some shop in in a few cities that existed in Europe 300 years ago you know we might go man - sighs that period but the fact is that everybody was poor an inequality as measured by Gini coefficient or any economic number that you want to put on it was almost non-existent there was almost no economic inequality back then everybody was the same poor and then something magical happened that's a magical thing it looks magical if you look at the numbers suddenly inequality exploded so if you think about it affecting you know everybody's poor everybody's equal and then suddenly what happens is this everybody gets returned everybody gets richer but some people get richer faster than the others that's called the Industrial Revolution it's called the 20th century the 19th century then the 20th century and 21st century some people everybody's poor and there's some people everybody gets rich but some people get richer than others now that's beautiful that's great what's ugly what's bad about that we get richer the poor are less poor they suddenly have running water and electricity in an America most poor people 90% of people have an automobile 80% of poor people have air-conditioning the ones who don't don't need it because they live in the north where it's cold they have a supercomputer in their pocket each one of you as a supercomputer in your part so yes there are people much much much richer than you the two relatively rich so the gap is not a problem who cares it's the question of are we getting richer or we can be poor indeed it's more than that the gap is the feature of what what happened to make us all suddenly become richer we became what we can't free copyrights were respected individual life was was cherished political freedom was established in many countries and the consequence of all that was people became rich freedom freedom as a consequence of freedom we become unequal and why is it what is it that when were free were more unequal than one went out free when we're not flee when lost slaves were all equal slavery or equalizes us its freedom that makes us anymore why is that what is it about freedom that makes us anymore it allows us to exercise our talents and our skills it allows us to express who we really are and if you look around the room you will notice that we are all different thank God for that imagine if we were all the same even if everybody was like me that would be incredibly boring it would be terrible the fact that we're all different we have different skills different abilities different interests different passions different motivations we are different and when we let us free when we leave a street to go and exercise those difference manifests those differences guess what's gonna happen we're all gonna do different things some of us will become teachers and therefore were made poor for the rest of our lives because the fact is even in the freest economy in the world the economic value of teaching is not that high some of us will become entrepreneurs and create great value in the economy and become very very rich some of us will choose to be doctors some will be lawyers some will be artists and again probably stay poor so what the beauty is the way we have the freedom to exercise our abilities our skills our passions our interests and yes we're gonna make different amounts of money why are we gonna make different amounts of them what what what do we how does how does the market work in terms of how much money you make who gets really really rich in the free market when you have freedom who gets really really rich no one who's smart but not necessarily some of your teachers are really smart they're not gonna make a lot of money I mean I consider myself in this group because I'm a teacher right it's just the fact that we chose a profession we're not going on right adopt it was after doctors make okay money but you can think you can think of a lot of smart people who are never gonna be very very rich right like Bill Gates or Warren Buffett or Steve Jobs what why is it that they became super rich and we as teachers are not going to become super rich what is it that they do that we don't we are not lucky yeah they invented something that is incredibly valuable not to thirty students in a classroom but definitely hundred million people out there that's the difference as good of a teacher as I am I will speak and teach thousands of students over my career and I will provide them I believe amazing value but it's only a few thousand people so even if I charge them the full value of what I'm providing I can never become super rich but imagine if I now create something that every person on the planet wants like one of these I don't have to make a lot of money on every one of these you know what to become super super rich because how many of these are selling billions and every year they sell because every year you want the latest right as soon as I get back to the States I'm getting my iPhone 7 so the difference tweet me ago Gates or Steve Jobs is that they changed the world for hundreds of millions of sometimes billions of people who are willing to pay in order to improve their own lives so the way you become rich this is the secret write it down great entrepreneurs who knows the way to become rich is to offer a value to people of value people that are who are willing to pay for will you make a profit off of it so however much it costs you to produce one of these people would like to pay more than that for this because you've created such a value in this little package you don't become rich from exploiting people people will figure out that you exploiting them and walk away and I'll never buy you product again you become rich by improving their lives by providing them a real value by providing them with something they cannot get elsewhere at a place that willing to paid and why are they willing to pay it how much is this worth to you I'm selling it right is the auction how much is it would a few hundred dollars how much has it changed your life let me think about this little supercomputer you you any argument at a ball you can now you know about some factual thing you cannot google and find out the answer you've got all of human knowledge at your fingertips how much is that wood to you a huge amount so yeah you will need to pay a few hundred dollars foot who when you I only paid 300 bucks for this video see an adult how much is it worth to me if I pay to young adults for this more than more than 300 how much was it with Apple less who lost in that transaction nobody everybody want that's how you become rich you become rich by creating wing wing transactions win-win relationships with lots of people and the more people you do it with the richer you will get the reason Bill Gates is so rich is because he affected billions of people not hundreds of millions now millions not thousands billions of people when you affect billions of people when you provide a value to billions of people you're gonna get rich this is a water need should it while he me that Bill Gates is much richer than I am sit it upset me what's the appropriate response to somebody being super rich who's done it by creating something admiration and gratitude when I see a billionaire I go thank you why because the only way they became a billionaire is by making my life better all for but then they should go to jail right we we know how to deal with fraud and if they did it off the backs of love - I love I'm a finance guy derivatives are one of the most valuable values that exist though that's why there's seven hundred forty something notional value by the way it's not real value it's notional value because it's offset by 740 trillion dollars somewhere else the actual value of it is zero right because it's it's offset all these things offset what if derivatives add they a massively crucial for Risk Reduction massively crucial for allocation of capital proper allocation of capital across the hunt now we live in a world today when government has distorted financial markets in dramatic ways so anything you look at it finance it's hard to tell what is it free market and what is distorted by government most derivative exist on the books today exists because of regulations in a free market probably would not exist but derivatives in and up to sell what's that what's the most basic derivative contract Evan you know what to do river to visit kind of assuming you guys have no acknowledge your finance but the most basic derivative product is a futures contract and futures contracts up there to reduce risk who would the original future buyers and sellers of futures contracts farmers who need a protection against the the risk of weather there's nothing wrong with derivatives derivatives are cool they're great options contracts a way to control for risk in a different kind of way right the important for investing they're important for all kinds of other things CD what do they call it to collateralize not tell i like that CDSs credit default swaps what credit default swaps his evil instrument that caused the financial crisis didn't cause anything credit default swaps the insurance policies against company bonds going bankrupt and government bonds going bankrupt a lot of people what cbs's to hedge they risk against a Greek bonds did very well good for them people who didn't buy CVS's again three bonds lost a lot of money they deserved it so do it so wonderful they're a beautiful thing and if people can make money off of derivatives good for them and the fact is that derivative markets wouldn't be seven hundred forty trillion dollars unless they serve the purpose and the purpose is to hedge risk and in a world like we live in today with massive amounts of risk massive amounts of financial risk you don't know don't you Vegas solvent on odds then it's wonderful to have a CDS market why I can go and heads my neighbors in stores right now did some people use that for gambling sure I hope they lose a lot of money and what we should encourage our governments to do is let them lose money instead of too big to fail instead of bailing people out let people who take badness to take bad Gamble's lose but we don't know love it because we want to have our cake and eat it too we want to be able to have a risk taking and not effort to suffer the downside risk so I the whole attitude towards inequality assumes to major I think cognitive errors if you open errors about the economy that exist out there one is that we have a serious we have a zero-sum world then all transactions are zero-sum that if I get rich it's at your expense then it would be upset right about people getting rich because they're getting rich by exploiting they getting rich at my expense but if I might like this better off as they get rich because the only way for them to get rich is by making my life better I like the fact that they getting rich I don't resent the fact that they getting rich I support their wealth creation I don't resent their wealth creation because it's improving my life and in a free market that's exactly what happens even in derivatives so how do we know this you're some world do you know what a zero-sum holders it's they give it there's only so much wealth and now it's just don't you think of a pie people like to use the pipe there's a pie out there and it's a constant height and now that's a question who gets what piece right so we have we have this massive pie and who is sitting here how are we gonna divide the pie and some of us get a big piece of someone's get a little piece we go wait a minute why did those guys get a big piece what did they do but it's not one pie right what's the problem with the pie analogy there's a fixed size the pie is constantly growing and the way it grows is by entrepreneurs going out there creating and building new wealth that grows the pie so it's not a zero-sum world in a center of fixed by it's a growing part but it's actually worse than that there is no pie the pie is an abstraction there is no such thing as societal wealth there is no such thing as the pie of society you have a pie and you ever pie and you ever pies and you ever plant and who makes that pie you do so we all have our own pies and then what these people want is to aggregate all these pies and then we divide them up now go by I created my fight keep your hands off of my time I get to eat my pie you don't get to take my cut and I get to keep my hands off of your pot so there is no one pie that we get to divide up each one of us has a whole pot and this is the second myth the myth that wealth is social there is no such thing as social wealth there is no such thing as the wealth in Romania over median wealth or American wealth there is your wealth and your wealth and you know what that yes as economists we can aggregate all that up and come up with a number that represents how wealthy Romania is but it's an abstraction it's not a property right there is no ownership over that wealth that's collective each one of us owns what we create and if we create different amounts then we have different amounts and we deserve different amounts if some wasn't lazy and we don't build and we don't create much then we have a little that's what we deserve some of us are hardworking and we bill decreed a lot can we get more then we just have a bigger pie why is it right for us each to have the same pot an equal pie when we're all fundamentally different when we're all making different pies while baking different types you know I mean you have a lot of pies right I mean people like pies it's a national food well some people make really good pies and some people make not so good price some people eat pie something let me tell it apart but that's an analogy to wealth you don't have a right to somebody else's pie so the whole issue of inequality is distorted and perverted by these ideas of zero-sum and the idea of social wealth social pies wealth is individual and it's not zero sum it's needed and additive now if every respect though equality of outcome quality of wealth equality of income is a distorted idea because there's only one sense in which equality is is a meaningful ideal this I give equality because if you look around the room and get all different right we're not the same in so many respects really in every respect we look differently we act differently with different ideas we have different produced differently what is the sense in which equality is a meaningful concept so the founders of America in the Declaration of Independence they write that all men are created equal what do they mean by that do they mean that all men should have the same stuff they mean that we're all human was that we they mean that we're all human it may be they were all human border stab me so why is that in what sense does that freedom exactly we're all equally free I mean they were inconsistent cuz they had slaves right but the attention was they were all equally free that is that will all equally have the rights and life liberty property the pursuit of happiness we all equally oh we to live our lives as we see fit well equally deserve the protection of the state from coercion from violence or fraud the whole notion in equality is a political equality not equality of outcome not equality of opportunity but equality before the law nobody party before the law means that were all equally free well equally have their way to live our lives as we see fit free of coercion free of force free of authority telling us what to do and what not to do and when we are free like that we're gonna be unequal in terms of outcome that's just the way life is and that's a good thing not a bad thing and then the only way to make us more equal it's the reducer for you is to use coercion honest it's the violate the idea of political equality and I may give you an example not from wealth but you know I like basketball you guys you guys like basketball what we here's a good basketball team right hey buddy no the bond changes yeah Michael children Magic Johnson you older women they're not playing for mania they play for the for civil upon change place to the communion Cavaliers I'm really upset yeah we don't have basketball equality I want to be as good as LeBron James and I'm not and you haven't seen me play basketball but let me guarantee that if LeBron James and I play basketball I would not be able to score a single basket I mean have you ever seen this guy something no no he's six foot eight ten thing off and he's big Rhaenys why he's athletic and all of his life he is trained Luke taught practice thought about basketball which is meaning the best basketball player in the world today but I in the name of equality the man to be able to go on the basketball court with LeBron cheese and play one-on-one basketball and I want to be able to score a basket how do we make that out maybe tight sense together yeah tie his hands together right we can break his legs the only way to achieve equality then is to handicap the person who has ability it's the way him down it's to use coach and enforce against em this no other way cuz he has more ability than agent this that means they have the same qualification and sometimes men are better pay that's why it should be representative and sometimes your example is flat is not very good in reality because people said yeah about equality or you don't want to employ a happen American because he is mad so these things should be found yeah but how do we solve them so do we solve them by using the force of course of government in order to solve them through regulations or do we solve them by letting people voluntarily exchange and figure out how to make it better if you use government which is what the Americans did through affirmative action what you create ultimately is racism just in Reverse now we favor blacks on top of whites that's not posit discrimination can never be positive racism is racism is racism whether you're racist in order to so-called correct path problems I never had slaves I've never discriminated black person but I might lose my job because the black is competing with me who's not as good as I am and he gets a job because of affirmative action and what does that gonna cause me to feel resentment towards him which is encourage whites to feel racist and this is Donald Trump why is Donald Trump so successful in America today in my view because America's become more racist not less racist because of affirmative action so Donald Trump is an expression of America being more racist rather than less racist because we try to correct racism by racist means which is absurd so yes there's a lot of you justices in the world I'm all for fighting injustice you don't fighting justice with a gun you don't fighting justice with coercion you fight injustice just like you fight anything else by using argument and reasoning and discussion and persuasion but when you start to force when you take you know if women are paid for the exactly the same job and the same skill set less than a man what would happen in a Fremont yeah and what would that what would happen as a consequence of that what happened to their wages they were gone they would go up until when until they would be equal to those of the men so if it was exactly same skills that's the way markets work it's the way markets work over and over and over again and it's not like it's not always perfect but neat but why do we think that markets are not always perfect ended up it's messy it's noisy it takes time and yet central planning that's perfect giving a bunch of bureaucrats the decisions to make it is a lot less perfect and creates distortions and creates resentment and always creates problems regulations and controls some government down always create distortions and problems that then require more regulations and more controls that build up more regulations and more distortions and more is and they don't slow problems you know so problems indeed what happens when you try to force it comes to be the same is that people with lower skills get higher wages than they deserve and people with higher skills get lower wages than they deserve because you take the decision away from the person who actually knows what the skills are and you give it to some bureaucrat who doesn't [Music] mechanism these regulations when I'm totally open to what you are saying they are produced by the parliaments or the Congress which supposedly represent the will of the people so what is the problem they are over the will of the people is wrong well of the people in my view is irrelevant so the will of the people is irrelevant the will admit realities when it comes to economic issues is irrelevant and when it comes to individual rights the will of the people is irrelevant it's the will of the people that kill Socrates right I mean Socrates was walking around Athens and corrupting the youth and the people didn't like that so what did they do they tried him and sent him and poison him and killed him so there's no free speech if you consider the will of the people would let people never want free speech they want only what they want to hear they don't want do you be corrupted they would never allow me to speak so we give up democracy know what you do is what the founders of America did is you limit democracy you make it so the will of the people only applies that very narrow issues there's certainly issues where the will of the people does not apply in America for example which is what makes I think America so strong is the will of the people doesn't apply to free speech you cannot vote to silence anybody Congress cannot pass a law that says Iran cannot speak they can't do that because there is a bill of rights that says there is a right to free speech now there's also a right to property which means that it might me in my business I should be able to pay my employees whatever I want and the will of the people be damned who cares it's property rights so they are whites that are not democratically voted up that's the whole point of Rights that you have the in the declaration independence it says that every every human being has an in Aliev all right what is it a leader for me in Arab armies cannot be taken away but anybody including a majority so what did American what did the American founders do they said look government can only do this amount a very little amount most things are beyond the scope of government govern can only do this in this one who Elm people can vote but on all these other things free speech property and a bunch of other things wait there wait to be long so whatever they great majorities don't matter it doesn't matter what people say this is a human right and you have it where the majority thinks it's good or bad so is that anti-democratic absolutely right in a sense of majority rule over everything the and that's why America is not a democracy it's a constitutional republic it allows for voting on very restricted things which is the appropriate thing for for government government should you should not have unlimited democracy what you get as a mess because then you violate out rights all the time you know you know if the neighbors decide that they could use your house as a basketball court then should they be allowed to vote to turn your house into a basketball court we also know it's my house but that's democracy so yes so if you ask me if I'm against that kind of democracy yes I'm against that kind of democracy I for a constitutionally limited democracy wait you can vote on very specific things what is the role of government I'll get to the question don't worry I don't want you to get tight what is the one role of government the one role of government is to protect my rights that's it that's the only role of gun and what does that mean it means that it has to have a police force in order to protect me from crooks and criminals and fraudsters it means it has to have a military to protect me from terrorists and invaders and it means an f7 judiciary to arbitrate disputes among us and other than that that only Chapa governments that leave me alone and they own each other the mutuality it doesn't have a job so you can't vote to decide what to do with my house you can't vote to decide what to do with my business you can't vote to decide how much I should pay my employees you should be able to any of these issues these are not issues that has any value comes from a person which is a human resource or human value which cannot have financial so it is morally wrong to attach a value to a person because that person actually creates value this is the means of making them that is not because we are you ok so let me Oh Switzerland I mean it's not a bad country it's not great but it's not bad it has lots of problems and part of the problems are created by each can't are having different rules and regulations of example I know I know a businessman in Switzerland you stolen a trucking company and he had to give it up because every canton had a different set of regulations where a lady trucking so you would literally have to drive to the border of the canton and take all the goods off of his truck and put it on a different truck because he couldn't drive into another Kent honest wisdom now Switzerland's done ok for variety reasons it's isolated it's homogeneous and most countries could not function the ways with some functions in California we have referendum is very similar to Switzerland it's a disaster these referendums are contradictory they change all the time it's it's really hurt the economy of California the discriminatory they treat immigrants really badly all kinds of stuff is a consequence of this so-called democracy so why you can point to a country like Switzerland as being yeah better than most countries as I say it's spite of the democracy not because of it that is not an ideal model and you have to have a theoretical framework for this in my view the essential unit in a society is the individual human being a little bit linked to your second question that's the real value the only reason an individual being individual human being needs a government is because when in society he needs protection against those who would commit fraud and force against them so the only reason he needs that govern is to protected to protection agency anything beyond that that a government does is harmful to the individual regulations controls you know distribution of wealth all of that is harmful to both the person whose wealth is being taken and in my view to the person who's receiving the wealth so I stuff an individual build upwards and the only kind of government that's a consequence of that that makes any sense is a government that is limited to the protection of roads and yet within that well you have democracy you vote but that's a very very narrow realm which no government in the world today abides by all governments today are much broader than just a protection of voice now witness value come from value comes from individuals so from what the videos create dividuals create value and sometimes individual gets together in a university or in a corporation and they create value together and then we attribute that value to the University of to the corporation as a shortcut because it's easier that some values will create a monetary set value security are not voluntary education is on a monetary value of though it can have a monetary value is called tuition the monetary values that we create can be measured some people create lots of monetary values some people create for me a little monitor each other it's based on how productive you are Bill Gates's won't productor than me when it comes to monetary John not when it comes to other dollars I'm do more education than buildings so my education value is high but you don't measure education without use monetary terms you measure it in up some satisfaction I don't know effect on other people's lives so I don't I don't have a problem with people some people get rich because they're creating economic value the greedy monetary from other people don't get rich and still might be treating him in stuff michelangelo never gave got rich but he created unbelievable value in spiritual value for all of us we still benefit from it but that's not a monetary value some evaluate so he's never gonna be rich or at the time it wasn't Richard right so one has to separate what kind of values human beings are created creating and I have no problem with some of those values of a monetary value and other not any monetary value that's determined by voluntary transactions between individuals if you don't want to pay for what I could use I can't force you to pay for what I do I don't ever want to force you to pay for these who gets to decide you know if some artist is out there solving and is creating some art right if nobody wants to buy it then what monetary value this is all have no now a government bureaucrat can come and say ooh but it's really valuable and it's really beautiful so I'm gonna steal your money and give it to him because I think it has a lot of value but that's theft that's just he's being a crook he has no right to take from some people and give to other people because he thinks it's good if we all thought that author's good we go buy it or we give her a contribution give me an example of a public good who build the first highways in America for example by the commercials both first timers is the public good in a highway if there's a need for highway then there's value there to be made and somebody will build the highway I don't need the government to do that to take from it something example to California we need a lot of highways cuz everybody hasn't caught two cups three cops right so we all drive and we need lots of highway so let's tack somebody who lives in Iowa who doesn't eat any highways take his money and give it to me so I can build a highway in California how is that just instead of making the highways in California private and when I Drive on them they bill me and send me a check and I pay for the highways that I use wouldn't that be better it's not a public good it's my good it's yoga so I would much rather see highways being privatized and and people paying for what they use rather than people who don't let's say you decide you want to ride a bicycle if you win but your taxes are still paying for my language so I would like to see even roads privatized ultimately but that's a long way in the future but I don't know what private public goods are they it's a nice thing that economists throw out there public goods but what is a public schools why schools are public good so in the United States I don't know about remaining the United States public good right it's a good they are teachers who produce a product and there are students who consumer product just like with iPhones why are iPhones are public earth everybody needs one everybody wants one doesn't the government just buy a hundred million iPhones and start distributing it to everybody because it's a public good education isn't good indeed if it was private it would be better we would treat our students like customers we choose parents with respect we would actually have to produce a product that had value instead of just keeping the kids in the classroom so what would happen to people who can't afford to pay children do you really think that would happen yeah see I don't and I give you two reasons for that one is education could be very cheap education is not expensive there's a wonderful book called the beautiful tree by a an English scholar whose name is James Tooley thank you James Tooley and he describes schooling in the slums of Nigeria and India and he went into the slums day because the kids were not going to the public schools and he everybody was saying these parents don't care about the kids education because they won't even we built these beautiful public schools for them and they're not going so he went into the slums and started asking parents why did you say public schools and the parents said because the public schools are lousy we set up his thigh physicals and he said what private schools and when he discovered with hundreds of little private schools inside the slums that charged very little because the teachers lived in the slum said it was cheap yeah they didn't have swimming pools they never have basketball courts and they didn't have saw but they had an education and they were providing a better education than the public schools at the periphery of the slum and the parents care about their education and they paid for those for those schools private schools can be very very cheap so cheap that poor people can't afford them that's one second how many of us and I don't know I've never done this exercise in Romania so we'll see if it works right how many of you would be willing to pay some money into a fund that paid for poor kids who couldn't afford the private schools to pay for scholarships for those kids to go to private schools how many of you will need to put money into a fund they would pay for that now ask that question in America everybody raises their hand so I don't see a problem but I do see a problem with public education in America now this my experiences America and Israel I grew up in Israel so I can tell you public schools in America are terrible and public schools in poor areas a waste of time horrible horrible institutions that guarantee that poor kids will never get an education and always stay working the best thing you could do for poor kids in America is get rid of public schools and privatize them all and create that imagine imagine if the next entrepreneur instead of thinking of the next stupid app to develop for the iPhone thought of the next way to educate poor kids and how to make money off of that I know and as an entrepreneur in Austin Texas so who's trying to create a network of small schools that are really really cheap and but still make money and he wants hundreds of these all over the United States and really cheap means elite in America about $2,000 a year which is really cheap imagine a whole network school hundreds of schools of $2,000 in any makes a profit up imagine if entrepreneurs were doing that and competing trying to come up with innovative ideas and maybe creating online schools cuz today you could to get an education online you don't even have to go to a building that would be exciting instead the government controls the schools there's no incentive to become better there's no competition there's no profit motive who cares how good the educational product is that the government provides nobody so what does it provide a lousy education particularly to you but life is much more different than that there are so many different situations and you talked about Bill Gates yeah I say Bill Gates thank you for many many reasons thank you Bill Gates is donating ninety nine percent of his income for whatever causes while others are not doing that we just shouldn't I mean Trump is giving charity money for his own business punch is a bad example of what is famous mean what is famous mean for some communities and other things for some other community this is why people should decide from their communities so this is why but what happens if we have a community and some people fit it's think fair means X and other people think Fannie's Y and the people to think it's X of 51% and the people think it's Y 49% the 51% gets the posed a view with force with a gun so let me ask you this week let me ask you this if we had open borders is an extra expense if we have open doors between Sweden and the United States and people could go in either direction where do you think people would go would they go for sweet American American sweet so almost everybody would go from Sweden to Mac nobody wants to live in Sweden I mean the fact is sweetness a massive brain drain if you want to proneural you leave Sweden you don't stay in Sweden you go to America Silicon Valley is full of sweets Minnesota and Texas are full of sweets Swedes in America live in bigger homes have more money have better health care live longer and unhappiness matches score happier the Swedes a sweet [Music] they are perfectly well in the space but if you are talking about people and advantages but I'm very much from I don't know health perspective they have you know personal problem or whatever they are just born in a poor I don't know poor village then it's written for those people is better than in this place because the system helps them and did you see this is because they don't value freedom so if you if you look a hundred years ago those poor Swedes other ones who left Sweden and went to America why because a hundred years ago we still valued freedom the problem of the European welfare state is we have lost the sense of what freedom means to the individual the value of freedom what we've done is we've institutionalized poor Europeans into a welfare state we destroyed their lives we've taken away their self-esteem we've taken away this sense of personal responsibility and personal freedom and we have crippled them and if we actually open the borders there would be a massive brain drain and they'd be stuck in countries they created no wealth and therefore couldn't redistribute wealth to them because there'd be nobody creating the wealth cuz they'd all move elsewhere so I don't think we've done any favours to pour Europeans by creating the kind of system that we have today but let me let me address your earlier issue see I believe fairness means equality before the law that the law treats everybody is same not which means equally food leaves people alone leaves them into liberty and I think it's wrong it's wrong in the name of some abstract term like fairness for the 51% imposed it's well over forty nine percent which is what democracy does every day it's wrong to use coercion to limit people's fear but then people but that's a few eneko perspective so the funny thing about sweetness sweetness school choice and vouchers the United States doesn't Sweden actually has more freedom and education than the United States let's say poor communities because they are not relying anymore on banking systems who are not good for them but another system of fair system could help poor communities it's not use a Swedish system is not better than the u.s. system it's only not better than you assist it used to be it's not it's not because the poor people you know again the United States is not what it used to be but in a free society the poor people are far better off then in a in a pseudo socialist society like this that you're defending sweet now sweetness now very social disagree I want to say something about what you said about Bill Gates because I I want to I want to argue that it's a shame that Bill Gates is giving away 99% of his wealth because it's he can do whatever he wants with it I'm not I'm not gonna tell him he doesn't actually like to do with it he has whatever it's a shame for our perspective because it's not a good use of his money if what you care about is human prosperity human achievement human success Bill Gates as much would make our lives much better if he invested them you have been again charity does not change the world charity does not help the poor charity does not cure malaria with what helps the poor a billion people 1 billion people have come out of poverty over the last one he is in the world 1 billion people because of charity no not a single person has come out of poverty in the world because of charity a billion people have come out of poverty in the world because of what the capitalism because China moved towards capitalism in 1978 because India moved towards capitalism in 1992 because South Korea Taiwan and Hong Kong and Singapore and Thailand and all these Asian countries have moved towards capitalism a billion people maybe two billion people I'm not poor anymore that's amazing so why do we care about charity what we should encourage is investment in the ideas of liberty what we should encourage is investment in the ideas of capitalism the ideas of liberty and capitalism these theoretical ideas do more to help the poor then any charity has ever done if you accumulated all together well so so these theories these abstract theories are what change the world they're the ones that have an impact they're the ones who actually affect the lives of poor people and the molle advocates are instead of Bill Gates spending gazillions of dollars in Africa which is almost all wasted if he was advocating for capitalism in Africa Africa could become rich that's what will save Africa when Africa adopts property rights when Africa adopts individual rights when Africa adopts freedom for its people Liberty flips freedom Africa could become the richest continents on the planet they have natural resources they're competent people the only reason Africa is not incredibly rich is because it's not free it's because it doesn't respect property words because it doesn't individual words some systems a belief are really really bad and all people bad and if your parents are poor how can you get education in the primary school if you advocate for private private primary school is get a chance to be equal as you to gain a new corporation when you feel you've never you cannot read I cannot drive how can I get the chance to get their wealth and to get a piece of files so I answered this a few minutes ago education will be cheaper everybody will be able to afford it and if those who can't afford it really can't afford it will get shattered the education will be a thousand times better than it is today and look I'm not arguing there will become equal there's a consequence we're not we're never gonna be there's no such thing as equality of opportunity there's no such thing as equality of outcome if you're born to poor parents you're gonna have a rough time then if somebody's born to middle-class of each bells that's just the reality of it that's life there's nothing wrong with it there's nothing positive about it just is what I just asked me everybody here how many of you willing to put money into the fund to educate poor kids why because it's in your interest to have poor kids educated why because if they're educated they'll be more productive and they'll create more value for you I benefit when human beings are successful I suffer when human beings fail so I have a vested interest a selfish interest in the success of human beings therefore I'm willing to contribute to other people's success now because I'm altruistic now because I can't you know I because I'm selfless because I'm selfish because I care about myself I want other people to be successful steak Equis goods and services and values from me to consume your pork it might be the next Michelangelo or maybe the next II jobs or might be just a middle-class worker a doctor or lawyer or just in a factory but he's getting create values that I've been a benefit from so what my tits with my watch invest in that kid and were generous free people are very generous it's unfree people who tend to be cynical and so people interested in being free no unfortunately most people are not true I you know George Bush during that you up war said that all people have you know a desire for freedom no they don't a lot of people don't have a desire to be freedom I think freedom isn't achieved it requires a certain set of values and ideas and this is why most of human history 90% human history we beam on through and we've accepted that the fight for freedom is relatively new it's a consequence of being alignment it's a consequence of open C kill'uh philosophical view of human life it's it's the idea that the individual has value above and beyond the group and that reason is um ease of survival and therefore reason must be left free in order for individuals to flush that's new before the Enlightenment you know when the Scottish everybody see brave hearts the movie Great Flood yeah I really see great lot ready remember when a your freedom what do they need what they mean is we want to be ruled by a Scottish King instead of ruled by a British king that's not freedom this rule is gonna be our dictator do we want the Russians dictating things or do we want the ottomans dictating things but it's not what I dictate oh that's not freedom freedom means individual freedom exercise our freedom so I don't think I think it's an achievement I think it requires a certain set of years and I think the West achieved it with being latent I think it's starting with with a scientific revolution in Newton and then lock and culminating with the establishment of the United States of America in 1776 that's when people learned about freedom suddenly freedom became of value in terms of the balance I think the balance was best achieved with the American foaming I think the founders had a good sense of the balance that is we establish a government we mean I'm not an analyst so I believe in government we establish a government but the government is limited in its scope of authority to the to protection and people can vote you know to point their representatives for the division presented this is very limited and will create a divided government the whole points under the American governors gridlock we don't want them to get along because we want it to be difficult to pass laws so we have two houses we have an executive branch and we have a tradition we all looking over each other's shoulder and all disagreeing with one another and only when they all agree that something will cast so we make democracy very difficult but we still have it but it's very very limited and it's in scope and I think that was the best balance achieved and I think one of the problems America faces today it has for the last 50 hundred years is that balance has been distorted America has become a democracy a majoritarian all democracy where we look for the will of the people to dictate what happens instead of a constitution at the Liberty stacks the Constitution and America has become irrelevant and no real separation of powers but I think the founders of America had it as close to perfect as you can get in a messy world comments questions yeah charity I am okay so I'm gonna get in trouble now I [Music] know you were I am NOT a fan of Christian morality I think Christian morality is the problem in the world it's why we can't establish the liberty and freedom because I think it goes against it I think religion generally is anti freedom because religion is what religion says that there's an authority and you have to abide by that Authority and it's your moral responsibility duty to abide by Authority and I as a free human being don't believe in Authority my my my authority I decide what I want to do and what I don't mind it and I don't want to listen to something that tells me what's right what's wrong in my favorite story here I have a lot of stories because actually wid the Old Testament so I was raised on the Old Testament God says to Abraham go kill you up a son now God said that to me I would say go to hell I'm not killing my oldest son I don't care what happens that's a ridiculous idea but anyway hem is a mall hero for religion awfully religions consider Abraham the ve mall hero why because he said yes sir and he goes in he goes till his elders now God prevents it because you know in a storybook we don't want to have a sad ending we want a happy ending but but the idea that you would just salute and say yes sir I'm gonna kill my oldest son that's mall authoritarianism that's not a spirit of a human being who wants to be free we people don't say yes sir and March off to kill they will cherish value so I think religion stands in the way of true freedom and liberty I get into trouble when I say this because America and Romania and Poland and many of these other countries are very religious but I think it's the reality and Christian morality which says that you're blindly Maul obligation is to serve others you ply même all obligations to sacrifice is to be self less is incompatible with an economic political system that basically encourages and rewards self-interested behavior capitalism is all about pursuing your own interests it's all about making the best of your own life it's all about pursuing happiness and success and prosperity that doesn't match up with an ethic that says sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice give give give I'll get what I want to do I got the same question yesterday and my answer to that is I doubt it exists but even if it does exist you have one life view of the smooth make the most of it live the best life that you can live be the happiest you can be be it so interested as you can be to make your life the happiest fulfilling successful life that you can have and if God at the end of the day tells you that that was a sin and you're going to hell then he's a bad god I can't think of any other way to live in this world than to make the most of the one life that I have in this world I'm gonna make the most do the best now do I know what God thinks is good and bad you don't know some guys wrote a book called the Old Testament of the New Testament and they claimed that God spoke to them I know about people who claim they hear voices I don't listen to them now God actually spoke to me then maybe I pay attention but there's no I mean really these the books the guys wrote you have to look at them critically if you actually what it says in the Old Testament life would be horrible right nowwhat estimates a hollow book is nothing of speech in the Old Testament if you don't agree with the Jews in the Old Testament they kill me think of what happens to Moses Moses come down from there mom sang it with Ten Commandments right because now think and some Jews of a worshipping of goldenkoff what does he do it physically drops the commandments he breaks them but then does he go up to them and say look you guys have free religion going through your own thing no problem freedom of speech no he takes up a sword and he kills thirty thousand people that day now what does God do you Awards him and he makes his brother Aaron the priests of the Jews because he killed all these people who worship the golden calf that's the kind of world you want to live not me government that's why I'm against government having those all those rules I'm I for government that has very few old basic rules like no fraud I can't force you to do what you don't want to do I can't steal your stuff that's basically it it's very simple right now it gets complicated because help me define private property and stuff like that is complicated but the basic rules are you can't use force force is bad I can't take out a sword because I disagree with you and stab that's all the government has to do so the governor has a police force a military need to dis you that's it it doesn't regulate it doesn't tell us how how much to pay employees it doesn't tell us what to sell out goods for it doesn't tell us how to treat each other the only time it intervenes is when we are using force against each other it's a simple gun it's a simple pure limited government because exactly for that reason because otherwise the government becomes Authority it becomes an authoritarian and we are not free and I value individual freedom more than anything else everything for instance you makes a girl I will not historical decoctions anyway so mean I can't work people who are just giving up their freedom not became slaves because silliness latest weather making bill Beecher being slaves they have a better life that world soft nobody would want to live in a world like that that might be true I'm not gonna argue whether that's true Anna been a world in which being a slave is being better is better than being free it's not a good world it's a would you want to change it's a would you want to fight it's a world where you want wait freedom is a good thing now the reason that was the case was because it's a free man government Society limited what you could do so you know I'm not full what is the least or in a really bad situation what are the least worst options I I want the best option and the best option is freedom freedom in a true sense in a full sense where I can really exercise my abilities and you can i I'm not I'm not giving up my freedom for slavery even if you give me money so based on this I conclude the only way actually successful and to engage by yourself by your own needs and your means only there's no there's no it seems as long as you're joining the team voluntarily and as long as you can leave the team whenever you want to leave it there's nothing antagonistic between the team and individuals teamwork is the way in which individuals often produce we all value because what good with one another we you know we add value to one another that's a teamwork is incredibly beneficial if you go to work for one of these so-called evil multinationals the multinationals that are producing all the stuff that you consume that makes your life so good so they are wonderful multinationals I love multinational corporations I think that a huge added value to life I've serious absolute I mean the idea that multinational corporations somehow become evil because they're multinational or because the corporations I don't get that producing great values for human life they're wonderful things and they're employing thousands of people you choose to go work for them because your time is worth less than what they will need to pay you so you're gaining a value by working for them and if you can get that value somewhere else more than you believe and go work for somebody else or if you started your own company and we want your preneur you could earn a greater return on your time then by going to work for multinational that you would do that so the beauty of freedom is you have all these options don't work for multinational go work for your father-in-law go work by yourself go work for a hundred different companies and you get to choose which one that's the beauty of it in ancient societies they want that there wasn't that much fear even today in very poor societies there's very little choices their freedom but have very little choices and that's sad we live in relatively wealthy societies relatively well we have a lot of choices which is like that and those choices by the world who created by multinational corporations they're the ones who create the choices because they bring value they create businesses in those businesses will they create lots of small businesses that supply them so there are lots of businesses that feed the multinationals so they create a whole ecosystem around there that jobs that wouldn't exist if they didn't exist so they increase the number of choices that we all have both as consumers and as employees yeah that's right but that's not because of the freedom to dance on a free country not free in the sense of in a censor I mean freedom because those corporations are shielded from competition by the government so there is no real competition in Japan as you sits on the state-owned if they're not state old they are subsidized by the banks and the banks are subsidized by the government there is no real flea market in Japan and this is why since 1991 so how long is that that's 20 25 years Japan is barely gone Japan has no economic growth and Japan has 220 percent debt to GDP the largest of any country in the Western world it is basically bankrupt it's a deep trouble it's the fastest aging population in the world it's the fastest shrinking country in the world they know the love immigrants because there's the real I mean they believe to the Japanese you have the Japanese and you combo Japanese by immigration stay on the line digression it's a very difficult country Japan is a very difficult country so I wouldn't use that as an example it's not an example of freedom and freedom it's not only you know corporations were free themselves it's a cultural phenomena and people have fun going back to the question people at the ones they feel and in Japan they want comfort they don't want freedom they want to break your levity they won't don't work for him and I said freedoms and achievement see this is something each one of us needs to achieve the value of it's not something that we just have a bulging for every yearning for something that needs to intellectually be all beautiful most of human history we have lived without food it's not the corporation creates that dumb down if you want it's the people but corporation also supports political yeah say yes it's right for example if you speak about freedom and you're put to find that kid against their grown up man you did a help from somebody to find that man right yeah this example if you have a shopping mall and you have a walk or small business the government should help that local business to fight and to compete with oh oh that's a disaster why so so I mean think about this when automobiles are supporting of the government is not about being a mall the mall is creating more value than the small shop so the mall will always win but is the example when automobiles came into existence there were a lot of people who were making buggies you know what buggies are things that behind the horses great so the government should have supported the buggy industry because it was being driven out of business by the automobile industry that would have made it impossible to progress to advanced Tipu and would actually have reduced number of jobs reduce the level of productivity and reduce the amount of wealth going to workers because the work has left the buggy industry went to work with automobile industry and they don't want more money the workers work for the little grocery store leave the grocery store they go and work at Walmart and they make more money because they're more productive and Walmart than they were at the little grocery store you can't stop advancement you can't stop improvement because you as a central planner feel sorry because somebody can't compete that's all point of competition the whole point of competition is some people won't compete so people go out of business and when you try to bail them out you get the 2008 financial crisis because you bail people out instead of letting them fail if you let the fail that crisis would have never happened the crisis was a direct result of the fact that bankers knew that they would be bailed out that the government would protect them no matter what so they did stupid things woody bail people out they do stupid things but he said something before that I can't remember so no government should not help the small business but crony is only get to go the extra dimension cronyism big coke freezes good Lobby government and they could get favors from government and that's bad we don't want that but why dummy corporations do that they do it because government has power over them and when somebody has power over you you want to be able to influence them I want the government to have no power over corporations I want the government not to be involved in the economy no economic power I want two separate government from the economy I want to have no economic policy they come in to have no economic policy just leave the economy alone it will do much better than having economic policy Hayek has written extensively on what central planning fails central planning fails when it's big central planning filtering is small government planning does not work the government has no role the economy government should just not be in the phone it should set up the rules of property rights and trade and non-corrosive interaction and leave the economy alone anytime the government starts intervening in the economy that creates distortions and provisions but let me let me give you an example of cronyism when Microsoft was started and was really building up a lot of wealth in the early 1990s it was is really it was the biggest it was other biggest corporations in the world maybe the beast in the world at the time and it did sewer lobbying it spent no money in lobbying no money in Washington DC they just they just did their own thing and they were invited in front of Congress in front of the Senate in the United States and on at hatch senator from Utah still in the Senate to this day yelled at Microsoft he says you guys need a stock lobby you guys need to get involved in Washington you guys need to build a building inside Washington DC yeah the show that you care about your government in otherwise you have to bribe me is what he was saying and Microsoft said the Microsoft executives were there they said look you leave us alone we'll leave you alone and they want guess what happened Microsoft six months later knock on the door the Justice Department is there and we're suing you why I was suing you what was the sin Microsoft committed that the Justice Department went after them anybody remember yeah but what was the was the how did it manifest itself I didn't trust that they were operating force in the Microsoft sent was they were offering a product for free internet explorer now you all take for granted because you're young the fact that web browsers are free but before Microsoft introduced Internet Explorer you had to buy Netscape Netscape was a browser some of you might remember this year pay $70 to buy a browser to browse the internet and then Microsoft said we're just gonna bundle it it with Gus when you buy an operating system you get the Internet Explorer for free and the Justice Department said wait a minute that's antitrust violations and we're gonna sue you so what is Mike this up due today my point is about about about cronyism what is Microsoft - what did my cousin fluid what was the lesson they learned the lesson they learned was they better lobby they better play the game said today Microsoft has a beautiful building in Washington DC about equal distance from the White House and from the House of Representatives white day it's a beautiful glass building they spent tens of millions of dollars of year bribing politicians and play the game because if you don't the justice upon your door and accuse you of antitrust an antitrust is written in such a vague generalized way that everybody violates antitrust laws all the time this is my you know a Tetris boss I don't know for mania we have a regulatory so let me give you my short description of antitrust laws in American I think it's it applies everywhere antitrust laws are written in such a way that you're always in violation often if you were a business and this is why if you sell your product cheaper than your competition like Microsoft selling it to zero what's that that's called dumping and that's a violation of antitrust laws if you sell it more expensive than the competition what's that you must have monopoly power because otherwise how could you get away with selling it more expensive than everybody else why would anybody buy it you must have monopoly power and if you sell it at exactly the same price as everybody else what's that collusion so no matter how you place your goods you're always in violation of antitrust laws now that is the best kind of law if you're appalled because then that politicians get to decide when to apply it and when not to apply it you see rigorous laws I'm not good for thought Oteri's I'll throw it - it's like wishy washy wishy washy lost because then they get to the site I don't like you so I'm gonna apply video to you I like you so I'm gonna let you get away with it and that's what antitrust laws are they are incredibly Authority what happens so the two types of unethical behavior that corporations can engage in one is is just stuff that's you know that just doesn't make any sense and what happens in the marketplace when you do something that's just stupid you get plenty but I don't buy your product if you're gonna have a add-ons that destroy your computer nobody's gonna buy those items another form of ethical behavior is actually fraud or actually destroying the competition and that's the one thing government should do it should catch fosters it should come in jail that's the wall of government absolutely if we had true freedom McDonald's would poison all of us because the best way to make money in a free market is to kill your customers ridiculous that is ridiculous and claim the food would be a lot safer if you didn't have government involvement and if you could sue companies who reduce bad products in the United States they in California when a farmer produces vegetables they get inspected by the Food and Drug Administration and they get inspected by the supermarket who's buying the produce who do you think is tougher discipline the supermodel much tougher than ago because what's the govern inspector got to lose if they screw up nothing is any any government supervise that ever be fired for approving a product that wasn't any good no they have their tenure nobody ever fires a government inspector but what happens if a private company that's in charge of inspecting the food screws up babies lose money so what would happen to McDonald's if they poison us they go out of business very very quickly so what would happen so I would take my Patty and I would give it to a lab and a lab would inspect it and say it's garbage and I would stop eating at McDonald's and somebody would inspect the food just like this they're private inspectors to inspect automobiles and they have ratings of automobiles that come out every year their safety ratings and they have speed ratings and it's all private and it's all funded privately and you have magazines devoted to this the same thing would happen with food I don't need a governing specter to tell me what food is good and what food is bad I trust the marketplace a thousand times more than I trust the government inspector I trust some media absolutely increasingly less but that's because we're increasingly less free mostly we are the my trusted no media a single freedom today from me yes that's why you're becoming less because it's less free because it's much more influenced by politics I mean look at the media the United States today Fox News is a hundred percent Republican and and and and half the other networks are hundred percent Democrat and it's all about politics there's no fleet there's no truly free equally in the media today it's all politicize all of the media today's polluters and the reason is is they get famous when they go they're influenced by the government left and right if you look at really who wants the media it's all crony media is the most crony of all the industries it's at least it's the least free of you I mean because they folks Hogan is losing a fortune in the United States right now it is and it's not any certain ethical it's it is true I'm buying a car that I thought with an ex fuel efficiency and it doesn't it is a lot less you guys screwed me you sold me a car under false pretences people are returning the Volkswagens and then our body folks working for folks slow in its taking a beating in the United States because you guys are relatively before so you will need to buy folks love it because they're cheaper right now but because you're poor I don't blame you for buying Volkswagens it's great that you because we've got surplus in the United States you should buy that surplus because it's cheaper right that's not an issue be ethical what's the ethics page you know what you're buying you know it's an automobile that is rated falsely as long as you know it then it's not fought the problem is the original folks Balkans was sold under false pretense so that was fun but now there's no fraud anymore now bunny nose Volkswagen prices have gone down and you guys are buying more than because you're poor and you can afford less that's all so because they're not well informed they are taking wrong decisions I agree it's always a matter of Education therefore let's invest in education let's let's invest privately in educating people what you don't want is government to educate us because government education is always gonna teach us the dogma that the government decides is right what you want is competition in education just like you want competition in media just take you won competition in fruit production you want competition because competition will drive good quality the worst thing in terms of information and education of centralization because then people want to get one perspective they only get one point of view your government is not to have a point of view system and the system is no Java the govern is to protect individual rights it's not for the benefit of anybody it's just the protection of your words in my view government's are not capitalists enough socialists they shouldn't have ideas governments should not have any ideas other than its job is to be a policeman that's it if you want to be a communist under a free society you could get a bunch of your friends fall until they spot a commune to each according to it from each according to his ability to each according to as me is needs and live miserably ever after because that's what communism leads to is misery I don't have any power to force you to be free if you do not want to be free Domon but you do not have to you don't have any right to force your values onto me you want to help a grocery store it's coming in go help them don't force me now when you use the gun you're forcing me open you want to help poor kids get an education raise our fun and give them a scholarship don't force me to do something I don't want the whole issue here is do you have a right to force me to act in ways that you think of white and I think are wrong and I say now I should live my life you live your life and you know if you're worried about the food that I'm producing don't buy it buy it from somebody else or go grow your own food that's what freedom means freedom means you can't force another human being to do something they don't want to do I don't want to be forced when I make money I want to be able to keep it I want to be able to spend away I think it should be sped up not on what you think it should be spent on that's the principle and you should want that because each human being is gonna be better off if we use our minds to pursue our own values and learn from our mistakes we have to learn how to say nobody else can teach us what's good for us nobody else can make mistakes for us you have to learn for yourself the fact is be ready why would they care that when there were no state regulations there were no monopolies when there are state regulations they are monopolies because the state creates monopolies when you look at the so-called monopolies of the 19th century in America Rockefeller Standard Oil right was the problem without not be that 92% of all over fighting in the United States what happened at prices they dropped they dropped every single year whatever the quality but in English every single year what's wrong with that kind of monopoly that's a great anomaly and as soon as they would have raised prices they would have gone out of business somebody would have competed them out of their business the same with Alcoa steel a co aluminum Alko aluminum at 87% of all the aluminum actually Nina in the world what happened a crisis every single year went down whatever the quality of aluminium went up so why do I care there's a monopoly and you know Microsoft is as I don't know a percentage of who cares right Apple innovates they make one of these and Microsoft becomes irrelevant in a dynamic free market there are no monopolies and then the dynamic free market is the only answer the only solution to so-called monopolies what you want the thing that creates stagnation that kind of anomalies you hate where prices go up quality goes down where they're inefficient they swallow up everybody it's government government creates those monopolies whenever government gives you special favors that's what happens you get inefficient you overpay you create lousy product government works in the interest of population well it doesn't govern never works in the interest of population government works in the interest of know-how all covered I don't know sicko government that is except for the early maybe American government that works at a just to the population because the only interest of the population the only real interest of the population is to be left alone the monopoly on technologists because you can come with a new idea but you have monopolies on resources like oil and patrol then you become a slave of that ridiculous is never been again I give you the example of Standard Oil Standard Oil at ninety three percent of all the oil refining capacity in the United States prices went down quality went up americo's far better off a heavy rockefeller do that why did he have at 92% because he established economies of scale he could reduce prices he improved quality and assume assume as he raised prices as soon as somebody figured out a more efficient way to produce oil than he did have enough flow to that person and his percentage of them of their of the total shadow of a finding went down monopolies in any industry and exist for very long and if I may finally add on the subject of standard oil by the time the government disbanded those the company decades later yeah I think they were already losing market share because of competition they already had only 30 percent of lists of drinkers and Amaka champion after 90 some and after they disbanded standard to increase competition because I you know they argued that you know five companies is better than one competition didn't didn't increase it all went downhill for the oil industry after that and it by the time of the first world war came they regulated and they nationalized the industry and you know you it led to the 1970s oil crisis and so on I mean I hate to say this with your professors in the room because I know these professors don't teach us everything you'll be taught about monopolies is untrue when you learn perfect competition model in the monopoly model that is BS there's no such thing as perfect competition and there's no such thing as monopolies like they drew on the wall that's not how markets behave there is no such thing monopolies are not a problem of free markets monopolies are problems of government government creates them governor Chisholm government supports them and they don't exist on the freedom there's no example in the freedom and history of a course of a novel of a destructive or not yeah the taxi industry is protected it's a protected monopoly and here comes Gruber and it's protected by governments right is the taxis all regulated they all but same government officials and then a new industry comes to to disrupt but uber would never exist today if taxi should not be regulated if taxis were not a monopoly created by government if taxis will free then it would be no but because we would have no advantage they what uber is doing is it arbitrage II it's a regulatory arbitrage market arbitrage who obeys a phenomenal regulation it's a it's a way around regulations interesting situation has been created by Budweiser the beer which at one time almost over eighty percent of the market what happened the quality of the beer went down just because of monopoly boys always never very good so the micro breweries start to appear in a free society with three a week three week there are hundreds of them now the challenge to start losing tremendously the share that's an example feel secure there's no such thing in a free market there's a monopoly in that's in a sense of control over market where they can raise prices and quality declines it's never happen [Music] now you can see the media television papers and so on but I think we're living in the most fantastic moment for the media democratize in the Internet is Muir you're absolutely you had to go through an editor to prove your article and so on and so on has disappeared the trouble is that when I ask somebody when we have this information deter me from the internet when I turn on the computer know where it's written internet so I know I ask him tell me what site what so exactly that's one thing it's not bad you're right it's awful it's powerful it's pretty good I can't watch anything on that channel except John Stossel so no Fox is terrible to look you you're right about the media we live in a golden age in the sense that the media's being democratized in a sense anybody could start a media company it almost zero cost the Internet is a is is the is a revolutionary tool you can put up content on the internet and the marginal cost of getting a billion people to read it as zero is never be anything like it in human history and it's an opportunity it's the one opportunity we have to get our years there ideas of freedom of the DLP into the world I like the most feature and almost the time yeah but you know the most eternal split this is an inside of it the Wall Street Journal has a great editorial page it used to be awful fun big fun pages is much ringing and the list of the people with the left-wing okay it's pretty fever well one thing then the last thing so I think it's something that everybody talks wasn't good talk to reveal too much but everybody so much government investment which is stupidity to show you my point of view I'm sure that you have if somebody in the government is such an intelligent person to know where to invest I think he should okay but he likes to gamble with other people's money more and with no consequences because if he loses the money nothing happens no absolutely there's no such thing as govern investment all government does people always afraid they're gonna run out of stuff we as human beings for some reason we have this tendency to believe in doom and gloom the world is gonna end well next year is forever this has been the case every every decade we come up with a new reason why we're all gonna die tomorrow and every time we're proven wrong it doesn't stop us from from infancy a new reason why walk in a day tomorrow well in 1968 we were convinced that the world who's going to die because of overpopulation hundreds of millions of people are gonna die in the 1970s and nobody died so they had to come up with something new so then it was global cooling and we were all gonna die because the world is covered with sheets of ice this is in the front page of the New York Times in 1974 and then we didn't die from that so now it's it's we're gonna die from global warming but now that doesn't happen there's something else we're gonna all go to emissions I believe it's your tuition so every time I breathe out consequences will come later you will have more plants on the planet because of co2 do I believe that the globe is is is warmed over the last 40 years yeah sure you look at the data it won't what do i do I think that human activity has caused it maybe I'm not a scientist I'm not convinced that human beings have caused it dramatically but yeah it's possible that human beings as cause do I believe the world is going to end in the next 50 to 100 years because of global warming absolutely unquestionably no do I believe it's gonna cause catastrophic unbelievable millions of people dying over the planet uncap unquestionably the answer is no this is the same doom and gloom hysteria that people come up with every decade every decade or two somebody comes up with a new theory why we're all gonna die it ain't happening stop worrying you know sort of get warmer you know what the solution two more actually on a day like this that wouldn't be bad it's kind of cold outside but what's the solution to greater warmth wear t-shirts air conditioning I mean I live on the edge of the desert in California it's pretty hot it might get hot so use more electricity and have to use more air conditioning so what well that's sad I think air condition is one of the greatest inventions ever and it would be nice ever in human history it's it's made vast areas of the globe habitable large populations like the millions of people who live in Uslan in Dallas and New Orleans and Las Vegas could not live there without air conditioning and conditioning is a marvel of human ingenuity and fabulous and it makes an audio flight dramatically higher and you know I like to say global warming actually happens Canada will become habitable Marc's motivated peak oil every few years as peak oil and yet every New Year's we discover oil than we have had we can we have we at the end because we were ten so let me end with this statement the I highly recommend that anybody used wide about the environment we Julian Simon the great economist Julian Simon died ten years ago there's a wonderful book called the ultimate resource and what Julian Simon illustrates is that there's only one resource is limited and that is the human mind as long as we can think as long as we can reason and as long as we're free we can overcome anything Nature throws at us including global warming we can solve these problems we can find ways around them there's human beings we are unlimited in terms of the amount we can innovate and create and soul problems we've done it for thousands of years with doing it at an accelerated rate because of Technology today stop lying we live in the cleanest healthiest best environment human beings have ever lived in in human history you would rather live in today in the most polluted city in China than 200 years ago on a farm land because it's cleanup it's easier to live longer than you live healthier you have more cancers yeah because you live longer when you double in average ages 39 nobody dies of cancer but when people live to be 80 people die of cancer it has nothing to do with pollution ask there was how long we were living life expectancy before the Industrial Revolution was what 40 or 39 39 life expectancy today in the most polluted countries in the world is what 70s say yes they get cancer because they get old our bodies when we get old screw up and start treating cancer cells and you know what the only reason we get old is because we have enough wealth to live into old age and the only reason we have enough wealth to live into old wages because we're polluting pollution is a consequence of wealth creation there's nothing wrong with it it's a positive externality not a negative externality and when we become rich we clean up the pollution because we're rich and now we can afford to clean it so in America it's relatively clean in China it's still dirty because they're still in the process of creating enough wealth so they can sustain their life into old age and then when they get rich clean up the air but the Chinese today are so much better off than they were 50 years ago when everything was supposed to be clean they would die of starvation back then now they're living to be 80 in relatively working relative wealth thank you guys thank you very much [Applause] | Yaron Brook | UCabMx-URCjr2toe9wOE3Y-Q | 2019-05-21 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 16,132 | 86,964 |
6ny0EggHVyc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ny0EggHVyc | Kai Review | hey guys it's me Drew and I here to do a review of Kai fragrances now well not fragrances they only have one fragrance but um they were kind enough to send me a travel kit of all not all but of their products to review for you guys and I actually went on a little week vacation recently and I just threw this bag in my big bag and decided this is what I'm going to use use this week and now that I use them I would like to tell you a little bit about them so Kai is the brand and it's created by a woman named gay and gay spent her youth vacationing in the tromics and basically discovered gardinia not discovered it but she loves that fragrance so everything in the in this is their gardinia fragrance so if you don't like gardinia this is not for you so let's go ahead and start start with the first product which is I want to stop there's an order I want to go in here we go the first product is the I hate that this camera let's go ahead the body wash now their body wash says a cleansing and foaming body wash which hydrates the skin contains vitamin E and extra extracts of comfrey cucumber and Ivy now the full size is 8 oz and retails for $37 the fragrance is just intoxicating like I love this fragrance it's very very fresh very very floral but being fresh and floral I definitely find that this could be a unisex fragrance um it's definitely not overly floral it just smells like a really really clean fragrance really clean body wash now the interesting thing about this you have to really squeeze it out of the tube because it's a thick body wash so I know that this will be great in the winter time but I used this on vacation like I said it lathered up wonderfully left me um a little bit hydrated I mean not overly hydrated but it did not dry out my skin it was really really great so obviously they have a body lotion which looks just like this it's the body lotion and this well I don't know why I'm keep describing the fragrance it's all the same fragrance but the lotion I'm just trying to get is also 8 oz and retails for $37 and it contains safflower seed oil shea butter vitamin A C E with extracts of comfrey cucumber and Ivy and again I'll show you the consistency on my hand it is a thick Mo not thick moisturizer but but it's definitely not runny it's definitely not going to run down my hand it's just going to really really really hydrate the skin and really help to just absorb everything in and really really really um comfort the skin it was really really nice layer too and the fragrance is not overly strong so it's not like you're going to be like G that's so strong after using the body wash and the lotion I was set all day well I won't say set all day I used also what they sent me was a perfume oil and the perfume oil is really really really great too the perfume oil is pretty interesting um I believe this is only available yes this is only available in the travel set they just have a regular Oda perfume and I don't think that's an oil is it no it's a spray but anyway this is just a roller ball and you roll it right on and you can see right there where I rubbed it and I just rub it on my wrists p my wrist together and it's an amazing fragrance really just lasts all day long really really really strong I will I will say I did not get a whole lot of compliments on it which it's kind of depressing I mean I didn't wear this every day but um like the fragrance I didn't wear every day I just used all the Pony products every day but I did not get as strong as a uh fragrance as I would like I would definitely try the Oda perfume because I feel like it's definitely a lot better next is the shampoo and conditioner now I do love when as you know but for that vacation I took the shampoo and conditioner with me and use them um the shampoo is definitely just like a great shampoo for your hair um I didn't find anything too special about it um it's safe for color treated hair as well as chemically treated hair um it has that same great fragrance which is nice if for people who really love absolutely love to layer their fragrance this is such a winner because I mean from your from your hair all the way down besides your face will definitely fragrance and um this the shampoo and conditioner both are $34 in the 8 O size and I will notice like the shampoo definitely feels you know very greasy once you not no not greasy see um it helps with the grease it gets your hair super super clean super super fresh and the conditioner is just absolutely amazing I love it I really did like a conditioner um not too thick not too thin just a perfect perfect consistency it's hard to review this because it's all the same fragrance it's just a different stuff and this was the home fine linen wash which is so unique for a beauty company to come out with a B um linen wash and it's $42 which is extremely pricey um but the full size is 16 oz and I did not try this out only because I did not go on vacation I didn't wash my clothes when I went on vacation so I'm not exactly positive when you watch my empties video you will definitely find out what I think of this cuz I definitely want to try it but it says a proprietary formula infused with silk proteins which strengthen fabrics and Fine Fabrics each time it's used cleanses Linens and delicate delic and delicates while leaving them scented with Kai's signature fragrance it's also biodegradable really really interesting I'm really excited to try this one out I like I said I have not tried this out but anyway um that was my review on Kai fragrances overall it's a pretty good company I mean I really do like the products um it's breathe life and flow and it looks just like this and those are all the different products there's to travel set and by the way the whole travel set's $49 if you'd like to purchase it but for people who love one particular fragrance people who love florals and gardinia this is absolutely the fragrance for you it smells so good um I definitely am more excited to try this out in the spring and summertime that's for sure because in the spring and summer is when you're going to get all those incredible fragrances but anyway I hope you enjoyed this video don't forget to comment rate and subscribe link to purchase the products will be down below let me know if you tried it and what you think talk to you later | Drew Yauch | UChCxLAvNhSc234S4oFLRyKw | 2015-10-23 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,240 |

Bsm_vhEgKew | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsm_vhEgKew | EU Charter vs Human Rights Convention - what's the difference? | what is the EU Charter that's easy it's international treaty that a bunch of European countries signed after World War two wrong that's the European Convention on Human Rights but I made the same thing no and I'm about to explain why I actually knew they weren't the same thing I was just pretending for maximum educational interest yeah all right role titles the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights is a simple way of knowing which social economic and political rights the EU must respect it means that key bits of the EU like its court and Parliament must respect these rights when doing things like making laws but how does it have anything to do with the UK I was just getting to that but thanks for interrupting after breakfast the government wants to get rid of the Charter but until breakfast the UK is still an EU member state so we need to respect the Charter when doing things involving EU law however the government didn't need to worry about the Charter when doing things outside of you law and that's where the EU Charter is different from the human rights convention the human rights convention is always own maybe and it applies in all areas of our lives whenever the state involved such as health care prisons and schools so you were saying the human rights convention is like a treaty or something correct after World War two European states got together and agreed a list of basic rights and freedoms that should be respected by everyone that list became the human rights convention the EU Charter was introduced much later in 2000 it copies a lot of the rights in the convention but it also goes a bit further like in data privacy and workers rights so what's the point in having both excellent questions the ear itself isn't bound by the Human Rights Convention so the Charter was created to make sure the EU respects human rights laws so both the Charter and the convention can be powerful tools in defending our human rights exactly the Charter applies in fewer situations but goes further than the convention in some areas so the Charter and the convention are like a big package which protect our human rights but after braixen the Charter could disappear from that package and honestly we don't know what that could do to our rights so in these uncertain times let's stand united in the fight for our rights you [Music] | EachOtherUK | UCYM_yPIyhn05Eo80AnsndXg | 2019-08-05 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 420 | 2,353 |

_xBkVqKrc78 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xBkVqKrc78 | UCF College Football Playoff talk: Alabama vs Oklahoma over Central Florida (The DG Show) | [Music] okay let's get back to sports is our hot topic for the week specifically the BCS now I have a little controversial topic I guess um that I want to get into yeah so after two undefeated seasons and a self-proclaimed 2017 national championship should the UCF Knights be playing Alabama in the playoff semi final game to see if they could get win the national championship I I'm not gonna chime in on this yet I mean they're playing LSU in the PlayStation Bowl but do you think UCF to undefeated seasons by the way should be able to play Alabama for the national championship playoffs what say what did you have for us Alex Javon look I think it's incredibly impressive yeah they haven't learned to season I gotta be honest this is all larger than just the record and do they earn have they earned this no they have they've earned it but they're not gonna get it and it comes down to money and it comes down to politics and it comes down to look ESP provides the rights you have tens of millions of dollars you got pressure on you think I said no you're just saying yes yeah it's not even no but it's it's it's 72 there's strength of schedule is 72 okay I mean Navy was 66 their closest team that pushed him was Memphis who their schedule was like 62 so I play if you want to play to be a champ you can't play chumps you know and I absolutely they're gonna be they're gonna be playing onomatopoeia they're gonna be playing LSU who had the number three strength of schedule they went 9 and 3 in a hellacious but barely they did but you have to put the work in to get there I mean if you just said hey you know baby but I can baby whoo baby way who's on their schedule I'll get in a different schedule okay but they said I present think they should have a chance at the match my face for the body have worked in the past two years now think about this old-school dcs the way it was yet to blow people out they blew mostly everybody out right but if well I take that back there's a couple close ones yeah like Memphis emphasis starting quarterback now like they made some even more of a reason why would you put a team that is is is damaged in there hey that's part of had a great season with the school that they are I mean absolutely outstanding bro if you don't think you don't think they could compete with Alabama I don't think they could compete with Alabama if they had to play the kind of schedule Alabama and those guys play all year you know what I should rephrase her do you think they could compete with Oklahoma if they were to play each other if they could be honest Alabama's gonna pee on Oklahoma III the plays it's gonna open a far distance I wouldn't make them put some work in to get there I mean be temple and Navy in in Memphis and commands Liberty and whoever else I mean the high school the high school next door to it doesn't count yes it Austin Peay is a great Universal on your point it's it's it's well said they all they did all they could do but it's part of a larger issue which is pure NC double-a needs an Elite Eight for a playoff minimum so it eliminates this I was literally just talking to Pete Rose out there about this I go yo you cannot by the way you know can't just drop Pete Rose's name I was over there talking to uh I've gone Mattingly the point the point is is he's on my side within the lean eight and quite frankly that's better for the consumer all right probably war money different allows the UCF different to have us yeah I'm agreeing what you bought on this don't you want to say something yeah no just keep it going all right what we got is a regardless of whatever we say they still gonna be no statements even if they're just national champions in Orlando this they're gonna get rings and everything else so I'm just saying I think it would make for an interesting ball game because every you know you see up again they proclaim themselves national championship champions last year yeah they're talking a lot they're saying they could they could bring it did against Auburn right let him play I think more people will tune into that game I don't know I wanted to be said that their backup quarterback came in to win that Memphis game and they still won that doesn't happen again and not taking anything away from Memphis it's a good program but you just don't do that against the goliaths in college football what I'm saying is Alabama's gonna blow everybody out I think it makes it more interesting to have UCF in there I mean I I think they're really gonna struggle against LSU and it's just I mean and I think they're gonna really struggle because of the quarterback situation if they had their original quarterback they would be able to put up a fight but I think LSU athlete for athlete it's hands down piping in [Music] you | The DeGentlemen Show |

W6JSN3Oecrw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6JSN3Oecrw | (eng) 세일러칼라 원피스 패턴만들기 (칼라, 소매패턴) / Linen, Making Sailor Collar Dress Pattern (Collar, Sleeve ) | This is two lines and two lines. However, when drawing the back plate circle, I put this part on the shoulder end point . Sailor collar is a fully lying collar. However, I will not make it in the form of lying down , but I will make it slightly erect. The collar on the neck looks a little prettier, so I will make it in a standing form. This is the part. I will decide how much the Sailor collar will cut in the front part. Then I will lower the circle about 12cm Therefore , if you do not want to cover the front , please lower it by 9 cm. For the sample, I lowered 12 cm from the neck line because there is a cover. Then the end point of the collar will be different depending on whether you will cover the front or not. So the sample is 12 cm. If you lowered it and you don't want to cover it, you can lower it by only 9cm This line and this part. Connect the neckline part like this . And now this part is the neck. Here this part is now the collar part. Then the line goes down by 3cm And it's a 3cm board line. I 'm going to make a color from this line , and I'm going to explain it based on an 18cm sample from here on the front panel . You can change the size or shape of this collar. The side goes 19cm. And the collar part was lowered by 10 cm from here . 10 cm 10 cm lowered line and this part 18 cm 19 cm This is the shoulder line. This is the shoulder point. The front collar part of the collar is 10 cm wide . I made the collar part like this. There is 2.5cm of this part that I put . I want to make it stand up a bit. I want to make the collar stand up a little, but how do I do it? Then I did this line and made the 2.5cm part and this part, so it 's not a flat sailor part like this part, it's a part that stands up slightly . It's a silver collar Sailor collar part I made a part to stand up by using 2.5 centimeters more than the existing sailor collar. Then now, this part should have the original collar attached to the neckline. Then I'll check how much this part is . The collar part is about 21 cm The back neck circumference is 12 cm , about 12 cm. Then, looking at the back neck and the front neck from here to here and from here to here, the length of the collar on the neck part is 12 cm and 21 cm . is this part . Let's call the back plate part b. It's the back plate, then connect a and b and sew the shoulder After the size 21, check if the b part 12 adds up to 33 33 After making the sailor collar back plate and front plate collar, I will make the sleeve pattern last. To make the sleeve pattern, you need to measure the vibration circumference on the sleeve. Measure the vibration circumference using a tape measure or a ruler like this. Because I used the same circle for the back plate, the circumference of the vibration should come out the same length, but I sent the front plate 1cm in the front . Also, the front swing circumference should be shorter than the rear swing circumference. The clothes go over the front a bit, so it feels comfortable . If the girth of the front plate is longer than the back plate , the clothes will roll backwards . If the front plate is shorter than the back plate, the clothes will come to the front. So now I will adjust the same length and cut the length of the front length by 1 cm. So now, the vibration circumference is the same. So I adjusted the vibration circumference on the front and back plates equally . I cut 1cm like a red line, so you can adjust the length of the shoulder line of the front panel here and use it as the front panel . I will take the same and make it work . Please draw a picture in a basic cross shape. I will use this as the front panel and this side as the back panel. The front vibration circumference that we measured was 26 cm . After doing this , I set the height for the basic sleeve, and the sleeve mount is what we want to work on. Depending on whether it is the sleeve design with shirring or the sleeve without shirring, when the sleeves without shirring are finished, reduce it by 1 centimeter. Then 24 centimeters . 24+Rear vibration 24=48 48*3.5= About 14 I set the sleeve height and draw the sleeve pattern with the 14 cm sleeve mount. I drew it like this, and then this is the front and this is the back size . So it doesn't matter which way you do it, but in general, I draw this side as the front panel and this side as the back panel. Hold the front panel to be 24 cm long. Draw the back panel in an oblique line so that it is the same. So it is the same . Then the sleeves are decided . Draw it because you have decided, and then we will move on to the top . AH=+0.5 Then it will be 12/AH+0.5=4.5 Draw a line diagonally like this , then find a vertical line, check the half line here, and then draw a complete line with a dotted line using a curved ruler. I drew it . This part of the sleeve is a little wide, so it goes inside 1.5cm. Since this part is an oblique line, if you raise it so that the length does not sag again, the sleeve pattern will be complete. The finished line will be like this . Dress well, make it, and see you in the next video.

3JILRE6OsQo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JILRE6OsQo | Mesopotamia | all right video number two Mesopotamia so this is gonna be kind of those first civilizations that develop after you know villages and after cities develop all right as promised ancient Sumer is gonna be a first one and it's about 3,000 to 2,000 BC you can say they lasted about a thousand years this is not like a unified civilization there are a bunch of smaller city-states that kind of have a shared language a shared belief shared system of life and a couple of the best-known cities are Herick and napur and they have a governor known as an NC and a lot of historians think that they were probably elected but we can't guarantee it we do know that whoever the NC was they had help from the priests and the priests weren't just over religion the priests were also in charge of agriculture the priests are the ones that talked to the God so they told people when to plant and when to harvest the gods would say go plant in Howard go harvest now and the priest would tell the people because the priest talked to the gods they're also the ones in charge of irrigation they control the water and the temples kind of serve as storage facilities for all the food to kunia form which was the writing styles development of the priests to keep track of business transactions they would keep track of how much grain and how much food you brought in and then how much grain or how much food you took out so the original writing style was an accounting system set up by priests the Sumerian Kanaya form was also used for laws and it was used to develop math as well some of the the math they used it was based on the number 60 you think of inches feet hours degrees in a circle all of that is math based off Sumeria 60 60 seconds in a minute 60 minutes in an hour 360 degrees in a circle etc etc the laws were all about ethical guidance and I'll just kind of read you two of them here one sumerian law said if a man rented an ox and damaged its eye he shall pay one-half price you damage some nice property you have to pay for that property another one if a man entered the orchard of another man and was seized there for stealing he shall pay ten shekels of silver so if you're caught stealing you have to make it right now there are also some Sumerian proverbs that help with ethical guidance as well one such proverb is a sweet word as everybody's friend another Sumerian proverb into an open mouth a fly enters in other words keep your mouth quiet and there in the bottom right corner you can see some examples of Kunia form there now Sumerian religion it was polytheistic and that should say multiple gods not multiple dogs that's an embarrassing typo but I'm gonna leave it there for humility sake so I should say multiple gods their primary gods were on key and little and shamash and these weren't exactly friendly gods they were hostile towards humans they would bring floods and droughts if they were angry at the people and the people would have to speak to the priests and figure out how to make the gods happy now these religion religious figures and the idea of religion was to help the Sumerians explain the meaning of life they didn't understand meteorology they just knew it rained a lot and wanted to know why and so these gods help them explain that you also have temples known as ziggurats they were in the middle of the Sumerian cities and there were also rituals designed to please these Sumerian gods second of the civilizations you need no other Babylonians roughly 2000 to 1500 BC they were originally known as M rites and they kind of moved into Sumerian territory around 2000 BC and they didn't kill him off they just kind of intermingled and took over why they didn't destroy Sumerian culture they adopted it they integrated it and they made it better now the best known leader of the Babylonians is a guy named Hammurabi he lived around 1700 BC and the Babylonians were fairly peaceful and there were a bit business like they were worried about making money and this picture here on the right-hand side the one seated in the throne is supposed to be Hammurabi so that's a picture of them what are the Babylonians best known for well something called the Code of Hammurabi the Code of Hammurabi is one of the best-known and most important legal codes of all time you've heard of this before and may not even realize it an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth is how it's thought of but that's never actually said in the laws of Hammurabi the laws apply to everybody but depending who you are they apply differently women in slaves are treated differently than commoners commoners are treated differently than Nobles but the laws do apply in some way shape or form to everybody one example of one of these codes if a man has accused a man and cast against him in accusation of murder and has not proved it against him his accuser shall be put to death so if he cues somebody a murder and you can't prove your case then you yourself will die for making a false accusation if a man strikes the daughter of a free man and causes her to cast that which is within her womb meaning causes a miscarriage he shall pay ten shekels of silver for that which is within her womb if the woman dies as a result of the miscarriage they shall put his daughter to death so if a man hits a woman and causes a miscarriage he has to pay for the miscarriage if a man hits the woman and the woman dies because of the miscarriage his own daughter has to die too so it's very much this idea of an eye for an eye even if they don't actually say it a Babylonian literature's another very important thing the Babylonians they could solve quadratic equations they kept astronomical records there's this tablet called the AMA sugah it's an astronomical observation of the planet Venus it went on for 21 years and when modern day NASA scientists went back and studied it they found out that the 21 year observation of Venus was accurate and they modelled the fact that Venus would have been where the Babylonian said it was at that time Marduk is gonna become the primary Babylonian god he replaces Enlil and then there's lots of stories built around Marduk but it's exciting it is to have the science and the the religion the big cool thing is the Epic of Gilgamesh which becomes the first epic poem and Gilgamesh he's gonna be this great Sumerian king he's kind of the hero if you will and in this story Gilgamesh meets he's kind of like full of himself he's he celebrates a new marriage by sleeping with the wife things like this and kind of knock him down a notch the gods create a being called Enkidu or Inca do and Enkidu is going to fight Gilgamesh they fight to a draw Inca do becomes human and becomes Gilgamesh his best friend they go on different quests together and eventually Enkidu is going to die and Gilgamesh tries to find the secret to everlasting life because he's been face to face with death for the first time and unfortunately because Gilgamesh is so full of himself he fails the mission to everlasting life and he himself dies but he's a much more humble man once he realizes that death is inevitable now a third group are the Assyrians and these guys are kind of mean 1,000 to 612 BC they've been around for a while the Assyrians have been kind of in northern Mesopotamia the northern Middle East if you will but around 1000 BC they go on the warpath and become the most dominant civilization and their civilization is completely devoted to the war they engineer for war they science for war they religion for war the heart for war they literature for war everything's our war the Assyrians are the ones that invent the chariots they put science behind it they use astronomy to predict eclipses and when it eclipses hits they attack their enemies their God Asher was the war God it was originally the agriculture God but I guess war became a big business and then their war their art is focused on war their literature's about war their stories about war their musics about war everything's about war and they're gonna end up conquering a huge area there their territory stretch all the way from modern-day Turkey down to Egypt and to keep people from revolting they use terror and death and destruction a searing loss you probably guessed this but they're violent just like their culture here's an example for you if a woman has damaged a man's testicle in a quarrel they shall cut off one of her fingers if she has damaged the second testicle in the quarrel they shall tear out both her ovaries that's pretty gruesome if a woman by her own deed has cast that which is within her womb meaning an abortion or miscarriage and a charge have been brought and proved against her they shall impaled her and bury her not if she dies from casting that which was was in within her womb they shall impale her and not bury her so if a woman causes the death of her child before the child is born they're gonna kill her and even if she dies from the miscarriage they're gonna kill her anyways so Assyrian laws are pretty violent and if you can't travel women are given very low status and they have some pretty severe penalties for anybody committing adultery anybody committing abortion and homosexual rape now you might ask why are the penalties so harsh for those three things because they're all about war they're any strong young boys to grow up be strong young men to be strong young warriors they lasted these four groups are the Chaldeans 612 to 539 BC they're also known as the new or neo Babylonians they're best known rulers a guy named Nebuchadnezzar and he kind of he tried to restore the image in the member the old Babylonians the people they didn't like the way the Assyrians treated them they were scared of the Assyrians and Nebuchadnezzar tries to wipe them off the face of history problem is people don't forget when it's all about death and destruction so the people were really really skeptical Nebuchadnezzar is gonna do everything he can to bring back the Babylonian lifestyle he's gonna move the capital of the city of Babylon he's gonna bring back the Code of Hammurabi he's gonna get rid of the god Asher and reinstate Marduk he's gonna build ziggurats and the Chaldeans or the neo-babylonian they're really wealthy and really powerful but people are just so distrustful that they don't succeed the final king guiding Belshazzar when the persian army comes to fight his city he just says you know what the walls of Babylon will protect me he closes the gates and has a giant party well he's so full of himself that he doesn't realize that one of his own people opens up the gate and the Persians come in and destroy the NiO Babylonians and the Persian Empire destroys the Chaldeans now the Persian Empire that's gonna be a story for another day so all right so that is your video video 1 and video 2 both posted today at the end of each video I'm going to put in a secret word and then do every Sunday just like the rest of your work you're gonna have a secret word quiz painfully easy all you have to do is watch these videos and give me what the secret word is at the end of the week and it will be very obvious because I will stop I will say here is your secret word I will give you the word I'll repeat the word and then I'll continue once again I'm just doing that to make sure you watch these videos because they are important so your secret word for this week because yesterday was Memorial Day I'm going to make it fireworks some of you probably had fireworks that you shot off or some of your neighbors might have had fireworks so the word is fireworks look for a quiz where you have to answer that one word fireworks alright until next time have a good weekend we'll talk to you soon bye bye | Jason Kennedy | UC0H4e4JToxotM6ghTKIeznA | 2020-05-27 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

Body Language Breakdown | now we're going to talk about a guy who used to be a prince harry and gregor tell us about the videos we're going to watch yeah this is hoda interviewing um prince harry at the invictus games and asking him about his situation about him living in the u.s about him wanting to go home you obviously made a lot of news recently you came home to the uk you saw your grandmother how was that it was great it was really nice to see her be able to see her in some element of privacy was was it was nice and had a chance to go back to the uk uh for a couple of years apart from those two times one to for my grandfather's funeral and one for on veggie statue of my mom how did it feel being back um being with her being with her it was great it was it was just so nice to see her you know she's on she's ungrateful we always she's always got a great sense of humor with me and i'm just making sure that she's you know protected and got the right people well you make all right mark what do you got he's almost a ricky gervais character now um some element of privacy and there's and there's what i will call a social status eye block uh which is which came from chase's idea of somebody who who shields their eyes to kind of put that's exactly it to put themselves above uh everybody else some element of privacy um and his head moves away from the conflict so there's clearly this conflict there around the privacy a reticence on the feelings of being back and then it was great being with her lip retractions also right at the end here's the most important thing disdain and contempt for the right people around her if you ever want to see a great image of disdain and contempt it's at the end of this clip chase what do you got on this one yeah it's a shift to internal dialogue which is his eyes are moving to indicate that he's rehearsing or going through what he's going to say and there's hard stress and a mental struggle around the word privacy you can see it clear as day here but there's a contempt micro expression on top of that at the privacy topic and you'll see the the face like the kind of one-sided smile you'll see that there and when she says how did it feel being back with her we have vocal hesitate hesitancy a shift to internal dialogue lip compression and retraction which is when we're withholding opinions or we're kind of holding some information back there's question repetition and when he's saying it's so nice to see her there's a single shoulder shrug which indicates we lack typically uh lack confidence in what we're seeing and i thought he said she's ungrateful i thought those words came out you can hear it in the clip it's crystal clear to me but when he's saying surrounded by the right people a strong facial expression of contempt like mark was just saying the appearance of this entire clip is strong emotions around privacy i don't think the trip went well at all these are behaviors that are reliable on their own but when all of them stack up just like we see here on a single topic there's a massive increase in the likelihood that someone's being deceptive and he's hinting that he's concerned that she's surrounded by bad people who are maybe influencing her perceptions in a way that he would like to change yeah i have a little bit different approach on that whole thing but we all are about negativity around that right people around her let me let me give you one thing if hoda knew what i know or what you know what the four of us know this could have been a different interview because she asked him what a question that basically says what does it feel like to be the person the harry formerly known as a prince and his eyes go down internal conversation he's trying to work through it and she throws him a life for him and when she throws in that life ring and talks about the grandmother then his face lights up and he starts to talk there's contempt for sure when he has that smirk or and there's actual amusement in his face when he says the right people around her my guess is that's from some other conversation that's he's praying to a conversation where somebody said well the right people are around her and you're not the right kind of people or something there's something in there the reason you see that smirk in his face but it should know him that he's going to internal conversation and that's a deep well he's digging into and let him go we've already gotten a very different conversation here that's what i got scott what do you got all right i think this answer was prepared i think they ahead of time i said here's what you're going to ask you because it's lazy and almost monotone it has no emotion whatsoever in it that first question and i think he's probably been asked that question about 400 times since he's been back and at the end of the clip like you were saying uh uh jeez was it mar i don't know if i don't know if it was mark or chase okay talking about the contempt that's the that's the classic ver uh expression of contempt and it's one of the seven universal uh expressions that that were nailed down by paul ekman happiness sadness anger fear surprise contempt to discuss those are the big seven and uh we're going to go to into a deep dive on those in las vegas in our event here in just a few weeks we've obviously made a lot of news recently you came home to the uk you saw your grandmother how was that it was great it was really nice to see her be able to see her in some element of privacy was was it was nice and had a chance to go back to the uk for a couple years apart from those two times one to for my grandfather's funeral and one for on video statue of my mom how did it feel being back um being with her being with her it was great it was just so nice to see her you know she's on she's ungrateful we always she's always got a great sense of humor with me and i'm just making sure that she's you know protected and got the right people around well you you make you make her laugh that's what she always says uh did you do it again uh yes yeah i did uh making an iot with her so it was it was really nice to catch up with her and you know the home home for me now is is is you know for the time being it's in this it's in the space and it really and it feels that way as well does it yeah we've been welcomed with open arms um and it's got such a great community up in santa barbara so so you feel like that's home more for you yeah is that weird to say no but i'm sure it become a thing you agree all right chase what do you got we see his eyes going down left again which is a shift to talking to himself rehearsing some lines they probably went through this a lot and just going through these lines and rehearsing it and when he's saying it was nice to catch up with her i think we see an anger expression flash on the face very briefly in my opinion and when he's saying well welcome with open arms uh there's a super stress response there's these big pacifying things on the legs there you guys can talk about that but biggest of all there's a loss of language fluency the fluency of his normal speech starts going away it gets more difficult for him to talk and that happens during deception for some people and just some fidgeting but it's like she's asking this is home for you weird deviation from his baseline behavior there's a struggle with saying home for him and he's saying it's not hard to say but it needs to become a thing which is meaningless like the the whole ending of that statement is meaningless so all the avoidant behaviors here suggest that there's a similar situation the visit was about the opposite of what we're actually hearing the it's the opposite of all the words that we're hearing that's all i got there scott all right well that first question about the making the queen laugh we see his his tongue jutting res you know flapping around the front part of his of his teeth like circling around there quite often we see something like that we see the teeth bite down on the tongue and that lets you know or that usually denotes or indicates that person feels like they've gotten away with something and when they do that usually the head goes down that chin goes down to the chest and it's almost like you're getting it like that like they're getting away with something so when he says um home for me for the time being is the states you can hear his hands rubbing together so it's starting that starting an adapter there and he's rocking back and forth and that's another uh form of adapting and in that sentence when he says like you were saying chase now that um when he says now there's a micro expression and it could be argued that that's expression of anger or it could be pain but i'd lean toward anger but looks more like yeah i'm gonna go with anger on that one and just after he says states his grief muscle engages so i think you're right chase i don't think this went well for him at all in the united in in the states and it went i didn't think i don't think it went well for him at home either or his old home either so he says we've been welcomed with open arms he runs his hands down both his legs and this is another self-soothing behavior and this one's huge i mean it's it's really big so i get the feeling he's starting to regret the decision he made about separating himself from the um the family the royal family it's starting to dawn on him that he's made a big mistake at this point mark what do you got yeah where in my interview i would dig into that welcome idea because that's a massive cluster of stealth soothing i'll take you through it in a moment where in my interview though i wouldn't get to interview him again because you know there is clearly a massively sore point on this why so he does do the open arms gesture very very good but then hands come down slap on there down the inside of the thighs down towards the ankle to protect the the the delicate ankle joint there we often we've seen that in other interviews with him when he's talking about subjects which she doesn't really want to go to touchy subjects he'll go for his ankle and then his hands come up and they fig leaf in front of him in front of his primary sexual characteristics there it's a huge stress indicator i'd be right on top of that and i'd go so harry like tell me a little bit more about this welcome like explain it to me and i'd get him deep into that yeah i'd never get another interview with him greg what do you got on this one i i'm sure he'll never interview with me but he's a 12 year old to me the way he the way he moves is not like what is he 35 i have no idea how he is you know i don't keep up with the royals quite as much but i don't know how old he is but this is young boy kind of body language i mean this is 12 year old boys at camp kind of body language for me now i'll also say he does a little bit of brows up in the center in the beginning we associate that with sorrow but he's also a ginger and he's in the sun i know the pain trust me they're pictures where i look like my eyes are all scrinched up because of it light-colored eyes and so i'll give him i'll give him an out for that the for the time being when he says for the time being to me scott that's profound because that's the trigger to everything else that happens all that adapting that's slamming his legs and that pushing those things down then we talk about adapters people call things soothing maneuvers adapters whatever but what you're in fact doing is making the unknown known making the uncomfortable comfortable because if you do something all the time and it becomes a habit it comforts you if you put people in a cage those things come out even more animals do the same he had a genuine smile did you make her laugh that was good i think he probably had a great visit with her i think he's probably feeling some remorse as i look at this that drop and rub and then all of that stuff is 12 year old body language for discomfort we don't know why we don't have to know why and then when he says the whole stuff about welcome that's we see a lot of that clusters of body language and he does this lips of disappointment kind of thing and his shoulders go up like so but what am i to do i think this kind of sums up what we're seeing from him you make her laugh that's what she always says uh did you do it again uh yes yeah i did both megan i had tea with her so it was it was really nice to catch up with her and you know the home home for me now is is is you know for the time being is and it really and it feels that way as well does it yeah it's we've been welcomed with open arms um and it's got such a great community up in santa barbara so so you feel like that's home more for you yeah is that weird to say no but i'm sure it become a thing your groom what's the best thing about her she's a sense of humor yeah and her ability to see the the humor in so many so many different things we have a really special relationship we talk about things that she can't talk about with anybody else um so that's always a nice piece to it but i think she's i think after a certain age you get bored of birthdays you do you think she's bored of her 96. she won't be bored of the jubilee will she uh no okay i don't think so she's had a few jubilees now so evan everyone said every everyone is slightly different yeah i'm sure she's looking do you think you'll come i don't know yet there's lots of things with security uh issues and everything else so this is what i'm trying to do trying to make it possible that you know i can get my kids to meet her all right greg what do you got yeah so i just have a few things the brow tips are up again this is a ginger in the sun that's what it is i can see it now because he's softening the impact on his eyes he genuinely is happy in this you can see his face engaging until he gets to this point about whether he will or will not come back you can see that and there's internal dialogue going on there as he figures out what he should say i'm sure there's probably the party line there's prey to line his brother or whoever the handlers have told him mark i have a note right here that says not overly sophisticated in his body language and messaging could use the work of mark bowden so if you're listening harry and you need a coach we know one that lives really closely you might want to call um but then i see when he's talking about the effort required to get his children to his grandmother there's absolute disdain there there's disgust there's all that lower face all that disdain around the hurdles he has to go through to get these kids to the to the grandmother mark what do you got yeah i love this one she can't talk about with anybody else stuff she can't talk about with anybody else listen to that else there's massive vocal fry on that it is so different i'm gonna say he's being utterly deceptive about she talks to him about stuff that she can't talk to anybody else about because of that vocal fry it is so different and then he goes uh so that's always a nice piece to it but like that means nothing it's so unspecific i would dig into that and i would go well specifically i mean i know you can't talk about your private conversations with her majesty but give us the generalized area that she talks about with you that she cannot talk to anybody else i would imagine he would be instantly in trouble uh on that too unspecific he's playing this idea of confident status against the right people it's a status play throughout this chase i managed to get in the word status for you there but what do you got on this one thank you always appreciate a little status these facial expressions from hoda are bizarre i think i've never seen people make those facial expressions before in this interview but let's talk about hearing what you're saying or harry says talk about things that we can't talk about with anyone else mark i totally agree with you i think this whole thing suggests some kind of special access and privilege that no one else uh that no one else has implies maybe an element of trust above all the other children says that's always a nice piece to it meaningless hollow language there but when he's saying i get my kids to meet her right at the very end there's a little bit of contempt just kind of contempt on the face all the behavior that we're seeing here in this little clip is showing a very difficult time i think coping with the loss of security and maybe a need to assert a degree of specialness because he's lost some kind of specialness which i think he feels is now gone from his life his behavioral response to the topic of security specifically suggests more than just physical protection and may lead to something deeper in terms of security that he feels is lacking in his life i'm not going to go to pop psychology i already did so uh scott what do you got i think he nailed it though man he's he's he's just struggling for relevance at this point because all he talks about his house and how important he is they need security and he talks to the queen like nobody else and she talks to him like this is it it's it's over it's done when he went home and he saw heard those people booing so i think that's what's happened just just a struggle just grasping straws to be relevant at this point what's the best thing about her it's a sense of humor and her ability to see the the humor in so many so many different things we have a really special relationship we talk about things that she can't talk about with anybody else um so that's always a nice piece to it but i think she's i think after certain age you get bored of birthdays you do you think she's bored of her 96. she won't be bored of the jubilee will she uh no okay i don't think so she's had a few jubilees now so evan everyone said every everyone is slightly different yeah i'm sure she's looking do you think you'll come i don't know yet there's lots of things with security uh issues and everything else so this is what i'm trying to do trying to make it possible that you know i can get my kids to meet her all right i think this is a good one fellas and we'll see you next time [Music] um | The Behavior Panel |

weekly friday day in day out you know and uh we bring you the freshest and newest entertainment news and as well as you know you know giving you that insight on some things that maybe we see are going

enjoy the show as you have been enjoying the episode that made you subscribe to the show if you know what i'm saying anyway um let's get back down to business but first things first i i'd like to um basically talk about um a guy called um an underrated dj basically who is his name is is is 2 billion you know um i think i think i i don't remember the first time i ran into 2 billion but um very underrated dj you know from what for not for mother could take i think he released an episode of you know a mix that he did in the previous week you know and um you know he's very good at what he does you know very good at what he does um i listened to this for the first time actually last week you know obviously i've known him way before but um only last week is when i decided like i actually have the time to listen to his to one of his mixes and basically some of you know the mixes that he has up on his youtube um and what what i'd like kind of like noticed is like you know this kid is very underrated you know um i've never really watched one of his sets you know i mean he's he's been playing a lot in in in most of in some of the gigs that have been hosted in the country and you know i i haven't really watched him face to face as to you know his real set you know in order to like kind of judge how good he is at this djing thing you know but you know literally when when i listened to to to one of his episodes that are up on youtube like i kind of like realized this kid is actually good you know um i mean i think one of his inspirations are dj melzy but we're not there but um initially i feel like kid is very good you know um i think i think for me it's it's like he's very good at what he does you know um he's he's he's he's respecting the craft of of djing you know i think even last year i had a conversation with someone to say you know some of these days you have a lot of people they want to be djs because they want to be djs you know um they want to be djs because of the title that i'm a dj instead of like actually respecting the craft that comes with it you know and um what i could say is um you know to billion like literally for me and my perspective he kind of like respects the craft in such a way where he kind of like you know he he he's taking time out to actually grow his talent when it comes to what he's doing you know and especially you know in in this industry that we found ourselves in it's not it's not so easy to find yourself in a good space to be playing at gigs as a dj so i feel like that's another thing that i think we should thank him for you know when i when i used to see the snippets of um after billion like i i would see that you know he's not he's not all about the dance moves you know when he went like literally when you see the snippets you actually see him like literally looking down at his at his deck and he's he's doing what he needs to do in order to give his crowd entertainment he's not he's not really focusing on the dance moves and moving around saying hey hey hey yeah i can dance and focusing on what really does not involve the craft of being a dj if you know what i mean but um in any case i feel like i feel like okay chopper's in the house choppers in the house i got interrupted you know but anyway um but initially i feel like you know um he respects the craft in such a way where he's like he knows he knows what he's doing you know but um initially when you see the snippets you know that you know when he's playing at one of these gigs or at some of these gigs you i kind of like see how how much he's really focusing on the craft you know what i mean and and initially for me it's like a good thing because you have a lot of dj who are moving around and on the deck they're only playing one song and the other song is waiting for the other one to be played and you're not really respecting the craft if you know what i mean um i think i think i was watching a mcg podcast the other day when you know i i would like he was saying something about nobody in this world can mix like um dj shimza you know but if you know how tj's shinzo plays you know what i mean i don't i don't think i need to say anything more i need to say less on that case if you know how tj shimza plays you know what i mean so dj shimza is literally an example of someone focusing on the craft you know he can he can move around and do his own thing on the deck but literally what you hear is something that you've never ever heard before which is what i feel like i wish to see from t billion you know i i really want to see him do things that do things on a mixer that nobody could ever imagine no other teacher could ever imagine ever doing on the deck you know but initially um a very good kid a very underrated kid if if you haven't really checked out the billion i suggest you go check him out right now you know because he's very good you know um and initially i think i think he signed um to to group government um but um don't really want to get into what what's what's really happening there but initially i feel like he's v he's a very good kid you know he's got he's got the whole world on his shoulders you know he's got the whole world in his hands you know in in whatever he does um you could tell like a lot of people really love him you know and you know i'm also starting starting to grow a little bit of a liking for him especially when it comes to what he does really can't wait to um watch one of his sets you know and and in the next coming ages you know maybe one day i'll get to i get to see what he has in store you know what i'm saying but anyway we're not about that so um initially next up i'd like to talk about um a guy called tj perplody you know um a really good guy in in in every sense you know i think i saw a story post from him um hinting at the fact that he's going to be releasing an ep soon enough you know which which which i really really cannot wait for you know um really um i i really can't wait you know um if you haven't checked out tj pablo d i i'd i suggest you go check him out you know but initially why i decided to talk about tj publoid is kind of like the connection between my interview with him and you know what he's currently releasing right now you know but initially we won't get down into that you know what i'm saying but initially what i mean is that how much of a spiritual you know being that he's becoming you know especially he's showing some of that you know some of that art into his music you know he's really um getting into the intricacies of of really um getting down into his spiritual being deep inside you know what i'm saying which is sort of like a conversation that we had during the interview you know that i had with him if you haven't checked out the interview i suggest you go check it out you know i think i'm going to put the link somewhere i think this side you know what i'm saying but anyway we're not there so we had like an interview um a really i i feel like it was a really good interview with tj purpleaudi and kind of like lit me in on where his mind states is that karen currently you know where he his head space is with his music you know in my experience with tj peplody he he's been a person that you know like i think i i've been with him from start you know at a point where i think um i was with him since um and i've knew i've known tj pablo since 2014 or something like that you know and initially i've seen him grow you know i've seen i've seen his art grow i've seen him i've seen him do things that he's really never done before you know and really big ups to him and initially what what what what what i get from that is is how much of his he's very good at what he does you know and initially what what i took from all of that is that he's grown from being the person who it's just trapping around because like literally back in the day i mean you're looking at 2014 2015 he started doing music i think around 2015 or 2016 i tend to be to be corrected you know he was a trap guy you know he was those were i think those are the kendrick lamar days you know you were you were getting down to kendrick lamar days it was really good you know he was he was very good at what he did you know and and and with though with that being said you know he he he he grew into a headspace of getting deeper into talking about his current headspace you know i'mma put an example you know this is one of the songs that i feel like you guys should look out for that's avenues by by by tj peplody i think um when did he send me this the there was a still some time in my life was going through a bit of some you know hurdles and and that was during the time i think i had put a pause on the show you know um there was a time where where where i think i was going to a lot of struggles i i really i think i needed that time off in order for me to like you know get back down into what i really really you know want to do in this lifetime and what my true purpose is anyway we're not this is not about me you know but initially the point of all this is to say how much of a good person that he's grown to be you know um i think he sent me a link to his song in fact he emailed me a link to his song i think when it was released in january if i'm not mistaken i think it was january or something i'ma check it out you know and um he emailed me the song it's called avenues i didn't know it was out because initially i was going through a lot of struggles at that time so obviously um social media i was a bit i was a bit off social media um because i was i was really not not in the good in the greatest of headspaces yes he sent me this uh no it was not january it was 31st of march um in and no no no actually it wasn't 31st of march let me just check this out real quick he sent me this it was january i think it was january it has to be january you know january or february let me just quickly check this out real quick and um know let me just quickly quickly check this out um but i i'm pretty sure it was january you know and when he released the song i was going through some struggles myself you know what i mean and while i was going through those struggles you know he he that was when he actually sent the song for the first time yes the 14th of january 2022 you know that was the date he he he he sent me the song but i think i was on social media so i was a bit late i think i read the email around february or something that's why i think i thought it was january february or march but anyway um that was when you know like he he sent me the song on on january you know and then i think i checked it out in february or something and then when i checked it out you know i was still going through like a lot of hurdles in my life and you know especially like those hurdles mostly included like me like trying to figure out why i shouldn't give up on my dreams because nothing looks you know nothing looks up for me you know what i'm saying but um anyway um initially when i listened to the song i was like yo yo like literally i can't even i can't even i can't even pinpoint the message of the whole song because that song itself was just on another level you know what i'm saying but initially i can't even pinpoint the whole message of the song because the whole song itself was just really beautiful i couldn't even go okay this is exactly what the song meant you know this is exactly what tj meant when he was recording the song because that's just how spiritual and how beautiful that song was you know and when i checked the whole song out i just i i literally literally kind of like gained hope as to what i really want in this lifetime you know and a very beautiful song avenues i think drop dead one of my favorite songs so far this year is avenues i never really got to tell him this but if he's watching this well i guess he now he knows you know but um initially i think trump dropped it that was one of my favorite songs this year avenues by tj purpley you know and now you know he's releasing a new ep it's called pursuing faith you know the release date is still unannounced you know but it was supposed to be friday the 22nd but now they shifted it to a different date but um initially i can't i really can't wait because tj's headspace right now is really beautiful headspace you know he's at a really good space to actually get a message out you know and whether someone decides to listen or not you know he still got his message out and initially it's it's it's also for his own therapy you know because music is just that therapeutic that's why i think i was telling him lonely um two weeks ago that you know actually dude like i really i really respect music because music is not just something that you're gonna jump on and say i've made a song i'm officially an artist you know music is is ten times deeper than that you know that's why i'm going to i'm going to i'm going to with the likes of amari that's what i'm gonna like the likes of um the boy you know who's going to be a topic for another day of course you know that's another one the 0.451 you know um if you don't know him better look him up you know but um initially he he he's going to have a special day of his own you know but that's why i like the likes of those people because they are i mean amari you you look at the boy 451 you look at um you look at amma crystals you look at all these underrated kids in the country you know you look at all of them you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna definitely look at the fact that these are people who kind of like embellish or they they they they describe or initially they they are basically what me what it means to be an actual artist you know because you can be a rapper you can be a singer you can be a songwriter but an artist is just some ten times different i think that's something that's it's it's way more deeper than just music to me it's it's it's way more deeper than just bumping to it and you know feeling a vibe it's it's it's it's ten times deeper than that it's deeper than all of that because it's what leads you to all of that you know the beauty of the feeling you get when listening to music so i feel like i can't wait for what tj applaud he has next you know his ep i really can't wait for it i think we'll be giving it a reaction um not only me but i think i'm lundy will also have something to say about it once it's released so um anyway um this is the point where i actually get to miss him luandi because i don't really know what to say next but um anyway i really can't wait for what tj peplody has next um and um initially um oh yeah shut up before i wrap up the show yo shout out to um uncle waffles again i think i was talking about uncle waffles nuts we were talking about uncle waffles not so long ago but um then again shout out to uncle waffles once more um for uh getting co-signed by drake i think i think that's a that's a that's a really beautiful thing to happen in the in the in this in the industry you know a really beautiful thing you know um very beautiful that you know um a local a local creative can could be successful to levels that we never thought anybody else could be successful you know and this all happened overnight you know one person went to sleep and then woke up in the morning all of a sudden she's a buzz on the internet so um definitely shout out to uncle waffles for her ex for her success you know um all of us yeah i think i think i think all of us hold her dearly in our hearts because i think she is what shows that you know dreams do come true you know what i'm saying and dreams actually do come true you know and shout out to shout out to uncle waffles and shout out to everybody shout out to every in fact shout out to every creative that is actually you know doing their own thing and literally waking up every single day getting creative so um shout out to to uncle waffles shout out to every single creative um in the country right now just do know that you know um everything is going to take place and everything is going to take his place eventually you know but um initially yeah i think that has to cover what i have for this week you know i think i'm lundy's going to give me a tongue lashing about some of the things that i didn't cover um this week but i think we're gonna we're gonna cover the rest if i left out anything we're gonna cover it up next week um same time same place um but initially if you're a returning subscriber you've gone this far shout out to you you definitely a real one um thank you for witnessing the growth as we continue to grow you know and um shout out to to to the new subscribers if you and your subscribers please if you're new subscriber um please make sure to click that notification bell click that subscribe button like comment share um share your thoughts about you know our content share thoughts about what we what we bring out in our content every week you know and um definitely your feedback really matters to us you know um but anyway i think this has to be it for this week um initially i think londy and i will be back next week same time same place you know i think i have to go now um but um initially we'll be back next week same time same place thank you for watching till the end and um yeah this

PPgZWvTX4fQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPgZWvTX4fQ | Postscript: Awkward Families and Amazing Grace | welcome to postscript here we hope to answer your questions and help you dig deeper into the messages and sermons at faith bridge by talking with the teacher of the day hi I'm Marianne read and this is PostScript i'm sitting here with defi robbins and it is Mother's Day happy mother's day to all of you mothers we just have a couple more questions for Duffy um so let's get started alright let's do it why do you think we tend to have unrealistic expectations of one another within our own families well you know I actually you know CS Lewis talked about this in a broader sense he said that he said that you know if we have these desires in our heart for for for a perfect love and perfect justice and perfect forgiveness then we should probably follow them to their source and I think in a sense what that reflects is that always still have in some kind of you know primal way we all have memories of Eden and what I mean by that is it theologically we know where what families are meant to be we that there's something in us that longs for in a deep way we often are sold a cheaper product and we'll try to settle for a cheaper product in the way that a man with a limp will try to live his life limping rather than do the procedure required take to walk properly but but deep down in his heart and in his leg he knows it's not supposed to be like this and so I think that we all of us even even someone has grown up in a family where there was you know abuse even those was a growing families where it's great I mean that there's still that sense that it's we all know what it's like to go man this conversation didn't go well I didn't understand that I was hurt by that and I believe it's because we have this memory of Eden we have this this sense that God has put in us that for which we were created and that's because we created in the image of God that kind of community that's reflected in the Trinity between Father Son and Holy Spirit that's the kind of community for which we were created and and on this side of glory you know we're probably always going to feel that it's not quite there even the married couple that deeply loved each other mm-hmm there are times when they they hurt each other and they fall short and and so I think that's because God gave us those desires I think they're God ordained desires that's why grace is important because I can sort of I can sort of be so frustrated with you that you don't fulfill that desire and without going women I don't fulfill that desire either you know we both of us have fallen both of us are broken and I'm never going to be able to to do that it's it's sort of the it's sort of the old thing of trying to fill up a bucket with a hole in it there's a hole in our soul and and so I think there'll always be that sense of it didn't quite hit there's a little bit of a Miss there even in really really healthy families what can you talk about what about when we take initiative and reach out to somebody but there's no response yeah um I mean it would be great today you know talking about initiative I talked about about saying I'm sorry I talked about serving you know random acts of grace it would be great if you know you were to take initiative or a family member takes initiative and that just you know all of a sudden breaks the damn are the log jam and now the river starts to flow cleanly and purely and again we all cried on the the whitewater and it's just a great adventure real life tells us that that's not always the case that that that sometimes I go and ask for forgiveness and they're still resentment are they still bitterness or even someone says you're forgiven but they're not really forgiving me um and of course there is no there's no simple answer to that in in a very real sense that's a reflection of the way we've treated God I mean he has taken the first move to us and um we many of us have yet to respond he doesn't stop he didn't say okay going once twice you're you know he continues to forgive continues to extend grace to us and that's what Paul means when he said you know forgive as Christ forgave you because otherwise I'm I'm apt to go look at I've given you every opportunity to get this right it's it's it's not about how they respond to me it's about how God responded to me and and so I need to forgive as as as Christ you know bought my forgiveness and God forgave me on the cross that that's again kind of goes back to that conversation that Peter had with Jesus you know how many times were supposed to give and you know and you said seventy times seven which was kind of way of saying just keep on forgiving and keep on forgiving I think as parents this is one of the real struggles I was just talking with a mom about this a couple of nights ago at a parent conference parents event how her two sons you know she's a single mom and her two sons are both teenagers and you know who knows what they've been through and growing up without a dad and so forth but she said that you know they're just constantly flexing their muscles and there's she just feels like they just treat her badly and um I can't make that go away and taking initiative might not make that go away that was the whole premise of my sort of illustration that I can't affect you know the behavior of the person on that side and I can't affect the person on that side I can only affect me but I have to figure out what am I going to do from here am I going to be absorbed and and and you know with bitterness and let that suck the life out of me or am I going to say no I'm going to continue to take initiative and do what I can but at the end of the day um I said to her you know I think in some ways parenting is is is is probably the closest to that kind of situation where you feel like you're extending grace you're taking initiative and hey nobody hung around and say thanks nobody said you know you're right mom I did need that correction by golly thank you for getting me to come in early you know you know you know you're not hearing that affirmation very often that I think a lot of times parenting I always say it's the closest most of us will come to crucifixion because you you reach out your arms to embrace them and then it sometimes it feels like they hammered a nail you know right into your hands well that's what unconditional you know godlike love looks like and if we can appreciate how that feels to us we can only begin to appreciate how that must feel to a Heavenly Father when we don't respond to his acts of grace Thank You defi thanks for being here and thank you for watching postscript with our great friend Debbie Robbins have

5-PvYmpgDSM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-PvYmpgDSM | The OpenClimate Network: Nested and Connected Climate Accounting for a Digitally... - Evan Prodromou | cool now it's going um hi everybody uh we are well into the roller bag sessions at the end of the conference I know like Energy's way down here but I'm also going to tell you this is something that's really important to me uh and uh I'm gonna try and keep my energy up uh for it so hopefully it uh it'll be interesting to you too um my name is Evan padromo uh I am probably best known in the open source Community for my work in wikis I started a Wiki called wikitravel I'm also known for doing social networking software I built a classic social network called identica that did open source social networking uh and then I've also done a lot of Standards work at w3c my current work is director of open technology at an organization called oef oef is the open Earth Foundation where U.S non-profit with a worldwide team we have people in Asia we have people in Africa we have people in South America and our mission is to build open source for a thriving Planet we've done a lot of different kind of researchy style projects where we're productionized work coming out of universities but I think the most important project that we've done and the one that I'm going to be talking about today is open climate open climate is digital infrastructure for doing nested climate Accounting in order to support an independent Global stock take of emissions data which is a lot I know there's a there's a lot in there and I am going to unpack it as we go along um the context uh I hate to be the one to give you this news but if the first time you're hearing it we are in a climate change catastrophe in an emergency uh the um uh World temperatures have gone up by 0.7 degrees C over the last 30 years and continue to continue to rise and we are rapidly running out of the carbon budget necessary to uh to continue with our current way of life so we are in a very uh severe situation in terms of managing our emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases fortunately in 2015 the countries of the world came together in Paris and agreed to a non-binding framework to reduce emissions awesome so every country in the world is working on as best they can policies and efforts targets to drive down emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases the kind of report card on that process because it's a voluntary process there is a global stock take that happens this year 2023 first one ever since 2015 where all of those countries come together and provide their you know turn in their homework and say this is what we've been doing this is how we've done so far um so great that seems pretty reasonable except countries aren't the only actors that are involved in climate change right countries are really important they set high level policies they are a great um uh set of actors for doing measurement and they have a lot of the resources but States provinces and regions also have policy activity cities are extremely important they're very on the ground but we also have corporate actors who also have climate policies and climate efforts all the way down to individual emission sites like Farms or mines or factories right so we've got this spectrum across different types of actors that are making emissions and setting emissions targets and taking actions all of these emissions aren't happening in a vacuum there are relationships between these different uh different actors they can have part whole relationships like Vancouver is part of British Columbia but they also can have ownership uh relationships so a an American corporation can own a mine in Bangladesh and there is a level of responsibility that crosses there that is not necessarily reflected in the geographical relationship um these different actors have to be coordinating their activity like I said it's not happening in a vacuum it has to be happening together both across that part whole and international level so setting climate targets that are related to each other at that part whole level and also taking climate actions setting up climate plans that are complementary and uh in accord harmonized the big problem with this kind of stock take issue well one of the big problems is that a lot of the data is distributed across lots of different sites right so it's in different places it's not really surfaced into public open data uh systems so um there is a lot of data that's distributed around the world hard to get to another problem is that very little of it is actually turned into queryable Data that we can use for mixing and matching for generating different kinds of uh insights or information a lot of the data on climate change climate emissions either lives in Excel spreadsheets on somebody's file server or even more common is that you'll see it in in PDF formats that need to get extracted so it's a very um 1995 World for data out there and it's very difficult to get to it and when stuff is actually in uh in a queryable data set that you can use you'll see lots of different formats lots of different methodologies for doing measurements so it's really hard to compare Apple apples uh which we have to do right so for everyone who is trying to make reductions to their emissions trying to set climate action plans they um need to decide who they're going to do business with who they're going to relate with relate to who to reward who to encourage who to kind of you know nudge along the path and that only happens when we're actually uh when we have well-surfaced uh information that that actors can work on in order to deal with these challenges uh disparate data not very um well available data uh the oef is partnering with other uh organizations some academics some in government to uh provide a digitally enabled independent Global stock take or digs um I'm not crazy about the name it is very long and complicated but basically what we're talking about is getting the digital infrastructure ready that we can make actually do these comparisons and do it in a simple way um that means uh not only data harmonization so bringing data into common formats but providing the kind of infrastructure making queries uh easy and to some extent uh having policies and these These are policies about open data and and data sharing I'm not going to go into the policy right now because that's not my area I just do the software um we have a really nice system called the open climate Network that you can find there openclimate.network that shows off the system that we have built to provide this infrastructure uh here's my giant data schema the biggest uh challenge of building this system was coming up with a schema to harmonize torts and a schema that covered the important parts of the uh uh of the climate effort and that left out a lot of the things that weren't relevant for setting policy achieving targets and taking actions probably the biggest part of this schema that was fun to do or interesting to do was focusing on actors so we treat All actors as if they're the same whether you're a nation-state or you are a farm or you are a city or a town of 50 people they are all represented the same within our schema and we have mechanisms for uh resolving different identifiers and names and relating these actors uh together like I said both part whole and owner property relationships we also support our actors with a lot of context within our uh within our schema like population geographical data economic data about all these systems whether it's a GDP for a country or annual revenue for a company we cover emissions of course on an annual level we have lots of different sources for emissions because there's the official sources that the country or city may have published but there's also independent uh measurements or estimates machine learning systems that might show a different story right these governments may be um tweaking the numbers a little bit to kind of show different uh put themselves in a good light and so we try to show multiple sources and give a better estimate based on those different sources we also go into breakdowns by gas scope and sector so these are ways of thinking about climate emissions and we cover different kinds of methodologies for targets an important thing once you know what your emissions are you know what you need to get to we have representations for targets from uh from different in different styles and we also have representations for action plans what is the actor actually going to do to reduce their emissions down to their target level um and breaking that down by what type of actions that they're going to take how hard they're going to do it and doing estimates on the effectiveness how much carbon is this actually going to reduce from the annual emissions load we track all of our data uh pretty extensively with with metadata because we need to be able to prove the source of the information we need to be able to track it back Upstream so every row that we have every bit of data in our system is tagged with data sources Publishers it's linkable we can track it back to the dates um things that we didn't cover within open climate because this is a policy and uh an action system we're focusing primarily on so we're not focusing on effects of climate change mitigation weather events Etc we also don't go down to the level of individuals because that's really just too hard to track um we bring in data from the UNF Triple C which is the un's uh climate change Organization for that we actually have to do transfers from those different uh file formats there are a number of international uh organizations like networks of cities there's a global global Conference of uh Mayors the C40 there are a few other networks of cities where they've joined together to collect data and then we're also using other organizations like the World Bank um a lot of the Regulatory Agencies like the EPA or E Triple C here in Canada also provide open data that goes down to that individual site level we have a lot of Rich information that's coming out of those regulators and because it's being published we're able to um we're able to map it in but we're taking that you know site level data and we're connecting it to the companies we're connecting it to the place where it's actually happening so we're taking providing more context for that for that information at that site level uh academic information has also been really helpful um because there are a number of academic papers that are producing data based on sensors or estimates that are happening in the city's uh involved this especially happens in the global South where there is not as much on the ground estimation happening we provide a harmonization system which lets us transform uh data into our data schema and load it into our databases and then finally we have a data Explorer that lets you uh you know search around look at different kinds of uh look at different kinds of actors within the system uh go up go down in a geographical hierarchy and understand the different contexts that that matters for those organizations uh the system is not designed for the web interface web interface is designed to show off uh the uh the infrastructure we have a restful API uh that is uh open for use so it's open for anyone to use it's not a private API we are able to get uh important information about each actor about their relationships with other actors so you can navigate up and down that geographical hierarchy we have a pretty extensive search system that lets us look at not only free text search but also focused down on structured identifiers or names in different languages so we can track down the ways to look at say Montreal or Quebec in French and English we do one of the big things that are users have asked for right the first thing that data scientists want is like a big data download they're like okay great API looks work looks great but we want a big data download so we have mechanisms for downloading selected parts of the data based on the actors that are involved and that brings all the information we have on say Birch Columbia down into a single CSV or Json file that you can then do additional uh work on one of the things that we really like about the system for exposing it to other uh uh researchers is that we're participating in the data Commons from OS climate so open climate is one of the nodes within that Federated data system we're a little bit of a funky node there because we are doing a lot of aggregation um but we are participating there and and accessible through the through OS climate so great ways for um someone who's say trying to measure risk against uh climate plans they're able to kind of bring that together across the Federated systems we have a really nice python Library uh so we're really supportive for those oh my goodness that Earl is terrible um but yeah you can just kind of scroll past the end um we have a really nice python library for doing evaluations works great in Jupiter notebooks Etc um and we have uh of course since we're here uh we are doing this work all out in the open so this is all uh open source software uh the data is primarily open there is some that is you know license restricted for for some kind and it's well uh well noted but it is available through the API so we have a GitHub repo where we do most of our work uh the system that I just showed you is based on a very simple stack so we use the current stack post Express react and node.js that provides the API that we have the Explorer that we have as well as the back end data data store and all the software that we have is all ASL 2o so it's very very liberal license for those who want to participate um boy that was a lot right uh threw a lot at you so we've got a big database we've got an API we've got an Explorer we're connected to a lot of different uh a lot of different mechanisms um what has that got us what have we done with that information um well first of all we've been really successful in collecting data some of the data has been done by my data team uh some of the some of it's been done by researchers we we uh partner with and then some of it's been done with with folks who are um participating in our uh in our Network through our open source mechanism altogether we've had 63 different data sources imported uh it's 146 000 uh actors that are represented in our system so those are again cities cities countries corporates around the world we're tracking 360 000 annual emissions uh Records across all different kinds of actors we're tracking about 4 000 targets uh you can see where we two tours magnitude Less on targets than emissions I really think of emissions as data points and targets as a as part of the curve so it does break down a little bit there but uh it's still quite a lot of targets to uh to be looking at uh results wise this all comes out of the uh uh demos from the python client so I just screenshotted those um we're able to get like really interesting information about emissions um and then actually temper it with contextual information so up here you see the annual missions of a number of different countries like China and the United States um and you can see it modified on the on the right hand side by population right so uh what one story there of the meteoric rise of uh of China's emissions is somewhat tempered on the other side realizing how uh how much that is tracked by population in China different colors I know it's not great it's not great I I'm aware of that uh yeah I I was like considering I was like should I change that I'm like I don't have time I gotta go um another thing that we can do because we're including targets and emissions and emissions from different uh areas is we can look at how well um different actors are actually achieving what they say they're going to achieve so what we see here is Great Britain's Target of getting to uh uh getting to what is that 250 uh megatons of CO2 equivalent by uh 2030 and we can see they're kind of uh their movement there um they're not on track to hit right you can see the dotted line they're not on track to hit and that other one is the UK uh for their 2050 Net Zero Target they're also not on track to hit that one either right so we can do that for actors of all different kinds again cities and countries uh and corporates using uh this data um one uh analysis that I really like is uh for My Home Country here in Canada um we have a national goal of getting down to 445 Mega tons of carbon by 2030 right so that's a 40 drop in emissions by 2030 based on 2005 Baseline which is an ambitious goal unfortunately is that ambition is not shared by the provinces in Canada which have set much more conservative goals and the sum of their ambition is what about 140 megatons more than what Canada's shooting for which means again until those are resolved and harmonized it's unlikely that we're going to hit our hit that Target right so the responsibility here is distributed across those different parts and if we can't we can do the same kind of analysis process for a state and its cities or even a city and the corporates that are in that City um one of the big things that we are trying to do is map actions and plans to actual emissions and actual targets are your action are your action plans actually sufficient to reach the targets that you've set um it is difficult because as bad as emissions and targets data are in terms of uh data structures and being able to extract them these actions and plans are almost entirely in PDFs they almost all have lots of like green leafs on them and happy families walking through a field and once you actually get to the part where they're going to reduce traffic by 25 by 2035 like it's very hard to actually get that information out um another thing that's important to us is uh easier contributions right now we use a GitHub flow for getting data in um we want to make this process more like a Wikipedia for climate data so having our API easier for folks to both submit as well as read out of the API doing file uploads in our system so being able to just say I got a file here it is finally we are using um we are doing some piloting of verified credentials and uh and dids for um bringing in trusted data from uh from the internet it is still an ongoing process but we're hoping to work with others in this area to be making standards around uh around this one of the things that we're pretty excited about is I mean if you have been staring at like 200 Page uh PDFs full of um jargon and realizing that there is a magic machine that can read that entire report and tell you what is actually interesting in it uh it's pretty astounding so we've been really interested in large language models for extracting data from PDFs the UNF Triple C for example has over 3 000 PDFs that is collected for that Global stock take in 2023 all of which are hundreds of pages uh almost impossible for anyone to summarize altogether and we think that llms are going to make it possible for us to extract the actual data out of those long documents and make them comparable uh measurable and get Trends out so we're we're working with a couple of different llms also looking at at training our own specifically for this uh for this problem um speaking about llms they're also very interesting for data harmonization so being able to do automated uh ETL with the automated transformation on data matching Fields aggregating disaggregating uh we're seeing some uh good performance for this however it still requires a human in the loop for doing the doing this effort we'd like to see if we could get it to an automated process so that again this is uh the previous one was for unstructured data in PDFs this is for structured data in weird formats a part one of the things when you provide a restful API is that there's always one more API requirement that people have for doing you know the kind of queries that we need we are planning a graphql interface to make it easier for folks to do the kind of structured ad hoc queries that good structured ad hoc queries that that get you to a um uh get you the information you need so if you want to find out what the emissions of farms in British Columbia between 2010 and 2020 where we can be providing that lastly um part of the work that part of what we've learned from this work from open climate is how the distribution of data coverage really changes as you move up and down this geographical hierarchy obviously all these all the countries in our system have uh have emissions information most of them have targets information regions in the province is okay but not bad but not great for worldwide regions and provinces it's when we get down to cities that things start to look really bad only about five percent of cities that we know of have emissions data that they're tracking where they're where they have published emissions um uh admissions reports and we started looking into that because that seems like a really low number um it turns out that it's really difficult for these cities without the force of like kind of a federal government behind them difficult for them to get the necessary Upstream data to actually uh make the calculations um there are uh great tools for corporate actors uh so commercial software for corporate actors for building their greenhouse gas inventories there aren't a lot of uh good tools for building them in four cities uh the quote that we got from one city was that they put about eight months of work for a five-person team into doing their one and only inventory in 2018 and they were like never again that was uh far too much so we are putting a lot of expectation on cities to provide not only policy but data for uh climate climate action but we're not giving them the tools to actually complete that that measurement um and that's why uh we are looking next at open source solutions for cities to help them do those uh inventories right so uh open climate for cities is a next project for us that we are hoping to provide carbon and Counting software so being able to put together those inventories pull them from data sources maybe international data sources maybe local data sources and do the client and bring down that like uh 40 person months into say one or two person months um and uh and we also think that there is a real role for AI to play in uh in making that uh effort or easier so uh you know we are still in the early prototype stage for this uh City's work but we are really excited about the opportunity to apply open source software to this really critical part of the of the climate crisis that was a lot uh I whipped through it openclimate.network is our uh is our Earl don't fall for any of the imitators uh you can get a lot of open climates if you search on uh search on the web I'm Evan at openearth.org and if you want to follow me on Mastodon you can get me at Evan mastodon.openearth.death there we go uh any actually I'm not sure how I am on time sorry I don't mean to uh quit the questions but uh I think I have 12 12 30. so yeah 12 35 yeah I got five great cool let's do it super good question yeah so what we do is we tag all of our data sets with a stated methodology of that of that original data set right so if it comes from a machine learning module a machine learning model we use that if we were if we are comparing say um all greenhouse gases or only carbon dioxide we tag it that way so everything that we bring in we are tagging methodologies for for all of it and that way we can say oh these two don't compare because this one is a uh this one you know excludes methane this one has all greenhouse gases yeah does that make sense yeah so it's not perfect right because we can get down to like levels of differences that are you know uh too fine for us to tag right but we kind of leave that up to the to the client to say like okay you know I trust Prime app and I trust UNF Triple C um and I can see that they're close but I understand why they have differences good cool good question any uh any others yeah that's a that's a really good question so um there are a couple of ways that's handled in like climate data tracking uh one is that the um different actors kind of split up responsibility sometimes it's double booked right so sometimes you'll see the same admissions booked at one at the at one port and at the other Port um there are also mechanisms to to say like this is these are emissions that you know my city or my company is responsible for and these ones are ones that our suppliers are responsible for and we kind of put those in a different part of our accounting process it's called the scope one scope two scope three for for emissions accounting yeah foreign so we're just delivering the data we're not going down all the way down to the uh are you talking about cities are you talking about uh overall overall yeah so we are not doing enough information for say one company to calculated scope three based on what suppliers have right because then you actually have to break it down based on uh your relative use of their you know how much of their emissions are you responsible for ETC and since we don't have that internal information we can't actually do that yeah Global Innovation out of the top 27 and remember there was something that oh yes was talking about that's to focused on cities was tracking a lot of that around here is that something that you're you're driving as well yeah so that's uh ugih I think that's that's the one you're thinking about the ugih is the capacity building hub for um four cities yeah yeah that's that's us different talk interesting project um I think I'm at time is are there any other questions yeah with regard to getting extracting data from PDFs exception until no but I'm going to make a note right now because it sounds interesting what does it do it's a whole tool for um for looking at PDFs and uh cool duly noted sounds great so there's one thing I want to say before I go which is um I don't know about how many people in the room here feel the same way I do but um I used to feel really panicked about climate change and one of the most satisfying things for me about doing the work that I do now is like um I know what my part is in this emergency right like I know what I have to do like what I have to do is write this code and and bring this data in together and um I think for anyone who's like worried about climate change concerned about climate change and is wondering like what do I need to do if you have open source experience software development School skills uh project management skills uh Community skills like there are ways to make a contribution right now um for us for OS climate for green software Foundation right like there are dozens of Open Source organizations that are that are making effects for climate change and it really helps you sleep at night if it's the kind of thing that keeps you up all right thank you very much foreign | The Linux Foundation | UCfX55Sx5hEFjoC3cNs6mCUQ | 2023-05-25 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 5,052 | 27,024 |

another world today my camera should start focusing on my face there you go okay so last time we left off with some political stuff there was some political business happening and uh subaru and got his uh first taste of actual defeat um i think this would take more mental toll him because now he's he's got into a bad situation with amelia and he can't really there's no real like he like i understand why like he probably thinks that maybe he should kill himself to redo it but then again where does the checkpoint start and who knows does reverse everything does it reverse until we woke up that day maybe he could have said things differently who knows um maybe we'll find out actually in this episode because it seems like the way things are now things are gonna go a little bit messy for subaru because i think this will affect his mind quite greatly so let's go and find out oh he's taking it well [Music] that he would have been killed by the knights for dishonoring them like that uh if he hadn't kicked the [ __ ] out of him using those would you train subaru reinhardt please foreign uh yeah like like i've seen some comments and it's interesting to see like everyone's saying like subaru's he's just a guy you know he makes mistakes and it's it's fair that he can make mistakes and also be making so victories ie rem is a victory i think and now i don't know what the [ __ ] he's doing i guess we'll find out but i guess he's just i guess he's just training to become better actually oh that's cute foreign [Music] who's here to tell you you can't i want to see you guys be nice friends again amelia's so sweet how could you ever not want to be friends with her oh yeah that don't die again [Music] that's not how this works subaru you can't get into a toxic mindset like that like you just change the future because you make it so i mean yeah you it shouldn't can something that you do based on choice at least you know it it'll turn out villainous at some point if he doesn't like that [Music] i know what you're thinking i don't actually know anything oh my god that's such a far away you imagine traveling for several days on a carriage instead of just going vroom vroom on a car just like a few hours so tired ground dragon okay i thought it was a raptor oh my gosh she's not wearing her maid outfit can i sleep with you that's good but i feel like it's not going to be as easy oh you're feeling a little something for rem here i see [Music] foreign um [Music] i don't think he will don't think that he's gonna die at any point except when he does but he comes back anyway [Music] no [Music] um oh my god i feel that hello are you ghosts well that was that was weird just just a passerby i don't know what happened right now but i feel really uncomfortable i'm

just faced with them with his own with his with the actual mortality which is the people around him and not himself he realizes that you can't just go die like yeah you can but now you realize that you have friends who can also die [Music] i think that's why he's taking such an effect to this what's gonna change here nothing he's not even doing anything he's not saying anything oh god oh okay subaru it's happening chop chop it's time to go are you gonna like adopt him because you have the dark power oh hello rem time to demonic oh my god nice one [Music] hmm yeah it's the same guys that

else he killed literally everyone petra ram amelia most likely and everybody else okay yeah i'm nothing um hope you enjoyed i'm gonna go find some sort of reason to be happy again because i feel like

g6y0k4zq-vE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6y0k4zq-vE | PVP SAVED? NEW UPDATED BEST SPECS to MAIN for PvP in 10.1! - DRAGONFLIGHT SEASON 2 | there is some exciting news announced this weekend during the middle of the AWC tournament no it wasn't that Sea-Doo was playing a wizard cleave it was the announcement that MMR is finally getting fixed in a forum post blizzard said that MMR gains will be significantly increased during the week of June 20th so we'd like to give a special shout out to Twitch chat for fixing the game anyway we've seen some big changes in the medicine's our last update and today we're here to break everything down just like before we will be giving you three suggestions for each role including a bonus sleeper pick which might be worth the long-term investment before we start we have a special offer just for you if you sign up to skill capped infinity plus before June 21st you can get a guaranteed Vada review for every month during the first year of your subscription which is insane value for only a fraction of what you would pay anywhere else last season a single VOD review from bitmex is all it took for one of our users to climb over 400 rating to 2800 in Solo Shuffle and after getting three VOD reviews we saw a Healer go from being hard stuck at rival ratings to the top 50 wrestler Druids in all of of course skill cap members also get instant access to hundreds of site exclusive PVP guides designed alongside the world's best players this and more is why skill capped is the only place that guarantees you will gain rating while using our guides and if you don't you shouldn't pay sign up using the links below to get started with an exclusive discount offer and get free VOD reviews every month for a limited time anyway back to the video last time on the melee side we suggested subrogue Demon Hunter and arms Warrior as good vets and Rhett Paladin as sleeper op for now we will be making some slight changes don't get a strong arms and red are still good but we think there might be some better options replacing arms Warrior will be Enhancement Shaman we initially predicted that enhance might fall off slightly after a big set of Nerfs targeting their burst damage but instead enhancement Mains have simply adapted with a new meta build previously both lava lash and storm strike loadouts were seeing play but the lava lash build was hit the hardest with Nerfs so shamans are back to mashing storm strike if you are a 3v3 player or a solo Shuffle Enthusiast then enhancement will still be a really good bet with the meta seeming to still favor casters enhance is arguably one of the safest melee to play given its wide array of anti-caster tech right now in both regions but especially in Europe enhance is seeing fairly High representation in Solo Shuffle even as a spec which historically isn't that popular if you are a 2v2 fan you might want to stick to Warrior but for every other bracket Enhancement Shaman is looking to stay a safe bet in the season 2 meta moving on we've now included survival Hunter as our sleeper pick for the mid-season and it doesn't matter what bracket you enjoy survival is really good now some of you might be asking wait a second I never see survival Hunters how can they be strong well right now every single hunter spec is performing well with most players probably playing VM simply as a comfort pick if VM or marks weren't as good we would guarantee that everyone would be on the survival train which we think they already should be survival boasts some of the highest consistent damage in the game backed up by some of the best tier set bonuses for season 2 which makes them really scary especially considering during the looming threat of Kill Shot which these days seems to hit for half of your health bar the only elephant in the room is the fact that survival is widely considered one of the more difficult specs to play in Arena it is both a melee and ranged DPS and to truly succeed players need to know how and when to weave in and out of the fight but if you're willing to invest your time playing Survival the payoff is potentially huge especially if you are a 2v2 fan where they might actually be the strongest DPS in the entire bracket this gives us our updated predictions for the best specs to main going into the mid-season Demon Hunter is still looking quite strong especially since the balance Druid Nerf seemed to be relatively minor because of this boomi DH will likely be a solid comp option for the rest of the season and even if it's not then Demon Hunter should have no problems in Solo Shuffle given the current cast or Fiesta we're experiencing while they might not be the best option for 2v2 they are still really strong and highly oppressive at lower ratings despite its Nerfs we are still also suggesting sub Rogue as a good spec to main this one is a bit trickier to justify since as a solo spec subtlety is noticeably worse but given that Rogues have the endless potential to elevate their teammates we still suggest sub is a good spec domain for anyone focused on 3v3 and solo Shuffle where we are still projecting a good performance overall the specs we're suggesting are reflective of the fact that casters still seem to be really good and hey if cedu is playing wizard Cleaves you know something must be different these days and speaking of Wizards last time we had the following suggestions with balanced Druids and Destroy warlocks being obvious picks but just like Melee we'll be making a few adjustments replacing Destro is one of our bets will actually be demonology the Warlock class has been on a wild ride this expansion with the power bound shifting between every spec except for affliction anyway while we initially forecasted that Destro could overcome its Nerfs that prediction might have been a bit too optimistic look we still think Destro is good but demo just seems to be better this bet continues to be an absolute tank inside of Arena where it is durable into both melee and other casters getting full benefit of Soul link for 10 damage reduction on top of passive self-healing and as the only Caster DPS with a strong and reliable Ms effect demo can really carry the weight in any bracket even in 2v2 where it is a huge Bane for any sub Rogue team so if you hopped on the Destro train early this season now might be the time to jump ship our next pick as one of the best specs to main is actually elemental shaman in the early season Ellie was still quite strong but noticeably worse than the Destro and balanced Druid overlords making it hard to recommend when so many options seem better now that Weekly class tuning is toned down some of the highest performing specs we think Elemental is a good investment for the rest of season two one mechanic to look out for is splintered elements which causes the Ellie Shaman to gain up to 60 haste if their AOE lava bursts hit 5 targets as a pop quiz what two popular specs can guarantee that this interaction always happens if it wasn't obvious it's demo warlocks and BM hunters in 383 and solo Shuffle Ellie should do quite well in the head-to-head against any pet class and while this might not instantly mean it's the best range DPS it is quite powerful having a soft counter to two of the most common classes this gives us our new suggestions going into the mid-season we've decided to keep balance Druid as a definitive best spec domain despite getting some major Nerfs to its AOE build and a moderate Nerf to its burst damage overall boomkins continue to have some of the highest agency in Solo Shuffle and can usually Bank on winning rounds as long as they reach the second use of incarnation even in 2v2 boomkins are still surprisingly good and we're keeping them as a good bet for the next few weeks we've also moved Shadow back down the sleeper position honestly this slot is a bit up for grabs and fire Mage BM hunter or even destroy warlock could have landed here just like survival Hunter we're putting shadow in the sleeper position due to its relatively High skill floor it is certainly strong but requires more of a long-term investment and not something that can see instant results as an added perk though Shadow continues to be quite strong in double DPS 2v2 so if you want a well-rounded experience it might be worth picking up finally we have our healers last time these were our suggestions once again we've made a few changes but this time it's a bit tricky right now the Healer meta is relatively stacked missed Weaver monks Resto Druids Resto shamans preservation of oakers and disc priests are all within striking range of each other we don't think this priest is bad compared to these other options but we think the spec has gradually faded no pun intended the Nerf to power word Shield was met with a buff to atonement which was then met with some frustration for many players who don't actually like relying on damage based healing disc is definitely a solid a tier healer but now there are just better and more appealing options for both 3v3 and solo Shuffle as a quick note though you can still expect disc to be quite strong in 2v2 due to a continued shift to atonement-based Healing taking the spot of disc priest as a good healer to main is now preservation evoker there are a lot of comparisons we can draw between both specs disc and preservation are two highly aggressive healers with lots of damage potential and a long list of strong defensive cooldowns currently though it seems like preservation might just be a better version of disc when it comes to 3v3 and solo Shuffle while it might seem relatively minor preservation saw minor buff to disintegrate damage adding more value to the energy Loop talent and potentially helping with the Mana problems that has plagued the spec throughout the expansion while disintegrate has a high Essence cost this would be offset by wider access to the four set bonus in the coming weeks this effect grants Essence bursts more often which makes disintegrate free and allows evokers to regenerate even more Mana at no cost so with this minor shake-up we have our final list of healers worth investing in for the coming weeks we've now moved Resto Druid up from its sleeper position to replace disciplined priest despite some early season woes Druid is actually looking quite strong especially considering the scaling effect of its Mastery which will now be easier to itemize given the new crafting system once everyone is running around with full gear we think Resto Druids will have less healing problems and now with recent Nerfs to miss Weaver monks Resto Druid might slowly emerge as the best throughput based healer once again we're also fairly confident in recommending restoration Shaman as they have quickly become one of the most dominant healers in every bracket in a Caster heavy meta having anti-spell casting tools is always a valuable asset and for the first time in a while it appears that all three Shaman specs are excelling so if you were waiting for a good moment to reroll Shaman now is definitely the time of course mistweaver monk is still one of the best healers but now isn't the obvious standout in the season 2 meta we would like to hear your thoughts what specs do you think are the best to main right now in season two let us know in the comments below and while you're doing

kdIG_ZsrdUs | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdIG_ZsrdUs | The Queen does NOT approve of Netflix's 'The Crown' | in the latest teaser for Netflix as the crown we see them cleverly transitioning Queen Elizabeth the second to her new appearance as an outback ladies and gentlemen this is Matt Rogers as far as Netflix originals go the crown is funnily enough Netflix is crown jewel but have you ever wondered what the real Queen of England thinks of the show well a new statement from Buckingham Palace proves the royal family think it's a royal pain the crown fall is the life and times of Queen Elizabeth the second and plays off of real-life events and how they affected the royal family being a TV show it is of course a dramatic interpretation of the events however usually sticking reasonably close to the truth previously royal advisors have stated that Her Majesty was quite reasonably entertained by the first season of the show unlike Prince Philip who according to star vanessa kirby says he quote can't be bothered there was one story arc however that the Queen was upset by in the second season surrounding Prince Charles being picked on at school and how Prince Philip was quote a father insensitive to his son's well-being and quite the Royal adviser went on to say that she was particularly annoyed at a scene which Philip has no sympathy for plainly upset Charles while he's flying him home from Scotland according to her majesty that simply did not happen in the time leading up to the third season Buckingham Palace had felt the need to distance themselves from the hit show after the Guardian posted an article alluding to the royal family being considered in the writing of the show Donal McCabe the Queen's communications secretary has this to say about said article quote your article may have the unfortunate consequence of leading your readers to believe that the television series the crown is made with some sort of endorsement of the royal household or an acceptance by the royal household that the drama is factually accurate we appreciate the readers of The Guardian may enjoy this fictionalized interpretation of historical events but they should do so in knowing that the royal household is not complicit in interpretations made by the program the royal household has never agreed to vet or approve content has not asked to know what topics will be included and would never express a view as to the program's accuracy this statement of course covers the royal family for any inaccuracies but on the other of the coin pardon the pun it begs the question are they doing what they are notorious for in the show and keeping up appearances and hiding dark secrets within the palace walls this is not the only time that the royal family has commented on hollywood's take on them Dame Helen Mirren had her performances queen elizabeth ii in the 2006 film the queen which followed the events surrounding the death of Princess Diana in 1997 there has been no official reaction from the Queen herself however her grandchildren Harry and William have said that they were quite cool about it and even once jokingly called Mirren granny what are your thoughts on the portrayal of the royal family in TV and film do you think it's historically accurate or are the lives of the Royals hardly that traumatic let me know in the comments season 3 of the crown is dropping November 17 without Buckingham Palace seal of approval and it will be interesting to see if it shows the royal family in a not so flattering light [Music] | Matthew Rogers | UCZESRWYhdrwjl-QaHCEXXmw | 2019-09-23 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 600 | 3,425 |

21ef74EWEsY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21ef74EWEsY | How to Manage Risk on Trades | [Music] thank you hello extraders and in a previous video we actually covered the trading strategy that I use and I wanted to cover very briefly the most important steps because I want to use what has happened this week as an example of basically how everything can just go out the window all right and as a Trader you have to be prepared for this so in the trading strategy that I set forth in that previous video and I'll try to link um that video in the description uh we covered basically the following uh points the first point or the first topic was the three Realms into which you have to dive into and master as much as possible the first one was the technical it doesn't have to be in this order the second one was the fundamentals uh and the third one was basically general rules and this uh this part is uh is very important because these two the technical and the fundamental um might fail okay technical is a very logic driven analysis fundamental is also a very logic driven analysis and the rules which you as a Trader must incorporate into your trade strategy basically are there to save you whatever these two logically defined analyzes fail okay so um that is what I'm going to use as the main example for today's video so let's start with technicals in in the technicals and as you can clearly see I haven't finished this presentation but in um in uh the technical analysis when we covered this in the first video we um basically mentioned these four points the trend you must be able to identify Trend you must be able to identify Sr or support and resistance levels and there were a few ways of doing that you must be able to identify if there are patterns in the price chart and um you must also be able to use indicators learn how to use them and more specifically more importantly learn what they tell you but also what they don't tell you okay or what what it doesn't mean I've heard a lot of people uh or you know try to start out trading using the macd you know just the macd you know whenever you know the macd signals then oh he jumps into the trade or vice versa um that's that's very dangerous way to trade uh and then the fourth and final Point uh which we didn't really cover in my first video was that once you have these things basically you know mastered then you definitely need to get into the Greeks and there's two Greeks that I will cover in this future video which is basically Theta and Vega and uh how this um quickly cover uh you know these topics in technicals and then we'll jump over to fundamentals and then rules and then we'll discuss what happened this week okay so identify the trend you obviously must be able to identify yes this is a clear uptrend you know and then within that Trend you can find uh choppiness you know as you can see a trading channel here choppiness from here to here uh but then there's a new trend forming which is the downtrend uh and then you must be able to identify Trend basically up down or chop uh so beside the trend you needed to be able to identify support levels and we talked about swing points we also talked about multiple touches and the fibs fibs help you and I usually add them in the end so after I've added the swings and the multiple touches I'll go ahead and I'll draw from the highest from the all-time high to the all-time low or the 52-week high to the 52-week low so what you do is you take as I mentioned in in the earlier video the next resistance higher to where you currently are which would be right here and then once that breaks then resistance Target one resistance Target two and so on and so forth or you take the nearest uh support below the current price and that's your entry level and then you have Target price one Target price two now okay uh and then the price patterns if you are able to find such as this head and shoulders here and to wrap up the technical analysis we looked at indicators we use uh simple moving averages and sometimes a exponential moving averages as well we use them as support and resistance uh we use the macd and the RSI to determine momentum and overbought or sold conditions we use the volume profile which tells you what price level has had the greatest volume and uh we have a indicator called the Neptune trading system which is available on X trades to use on trading view developed by one of our analysts GTW over at X trades and it basically gives you you know long and short Bull and Bear and it gives you these flags and these signals that you can use to identify entries and exits okay so we were done with technicals and then we moved over to fundamentals and in fundamentals we cover these four areas and they're very important there's Market sentiment General market sentiment then there's also economic data that you need to be able to understand and parse through there's production with GDP there's price information with CPI PPI and pce there's job less claims okay uh there's the PMI uh there's mortgage apps that which basically tell you uh what you know uh how strong the housing market is uh and then you can dive into specific sectors okay because some sectors might be green uh and some sectors might turn red and finally you need to look at the TV news because there's rumors there's politics and uh you know political decisions uh affect different sectors in different ways if they pass a law that's going to affect the energy sector or the housing sector then that is obviously going to have a huge effect on tickers or the last uh slide are analyst recommendations and upgrades all of this taken into account uh we developed a couple of trade plans and you could see the trade plans or the watch lists the different analysts posted for uh this week you know and a lot of them more bullish I remember that a few quite a few uh tickers that analysts were watching were actually very bullish and then we get some economic news right so we got the PPI um the ism PPI uh sorry the ism PMI which was and specifically the sector the services ISM which mean which is basically how did the how did prices behave in the services sector and that was not very good it wasn't terrible but it wasn't good it wasn't what people were expecting and there's so many tensions right now with the China with the Ukraine Russia conflict and basically that can take a really good technically okay a good technically analyzed trade plan that that you know that gives you a bullish uh Target to the upside and uh and you were looking let's say that this was a company I believe that this is the Dow Jones but um that's the djia but let's say that this was a ticker and you also had you know like a very bullish Market sentiment um coming out of the weekend into the trading week and uh you know the sector for that particular ticker was looking good and that particular ticker even had an upgrade all right uh it's it's it's it's very likely that both Technical and fundamental analysis fundamental analysis was pointing you in the bullish Direction okay but then something happens and everything comes crashing down so what are the general rules Risk Management number one perspectives you have to look at it from the right perspective you have to look at your trades from the right perspective types of assets that you're trading strategies that you're using and then platforms and tools and whatnot so let's go over some quick risk management the sizing of your trades is important I'm sure you've seen the data I'm not going to cover the specifics if you only use one percent or five percent of your trading portfolio you know whatever the sizing is very important so make sure that your trading strategy covers what size uh trades you're going to use and I'll talk about this a little bit further in a moment but one of the important things that is related to sizing is Runners it whatever you sized has to leave room for runners okay so whatever the size of your trade of your trade plan is going to be if let's say that you decide you're only going to spend a hundred dollars a week which means very clearly you can only lose a hundred dollars a week that's your max loss per week all right so you decide that you're going to take trade for exactly a hundred dollars on Monday if that thing goes to zero on Monday then you're out for the rest of the trading week you know you're done do not break your rules or it's not going to work so if you take the 100 100 Trade on Monday and you lose you're done for the week you have to leave room for runners okay and and what that means is that if you're going to have a hundred dollars to trade if that's going to be your limit then go ahead and try to find trades that allow you to get multiple contracts and that means uh be able to accommodate runners all right number two is the different perspectives do not use absolute values please focus on return percentage if you're going to look at a trade make sure that you're looking to get out at 15 not at one hundred dollars I I say this to people so many times during the week because but I was only up I was only up like fifty dollars you know I wanted a hundred or I wanted 200. no that's not a problem of uh not having enough return that's a problem of you not having sized correctly and I'll get to that really quickly in a minute here because we're almost out of time um and obviously perspectives you want to make a difference you know you want to you would definitely want to Define if you want to day trade or if you want to swing trade I'm not going to get into this because this percentage return is the one that I want to cover in more detail uh of course there's different assets there's stocks and options and if maybe options are not for you you know maybe they're very sexy and appealing Concept in general but maybe you don't have it in you at first to be an options Trader because of the time Factor there is a huge uh Factor working against you in making money and options and that is time okay which does not occur in stocks uh and then there's a lot of different strategies do not limit yourself to single or naked options contracts such as buying calls and puts there's a lot of other things you can do and we will explore these in future videos uh there's a lot of tools trading platforms that you can use uh indicators that you can buy on different trading platforms such as trading View and I do not uh want to leave out the drinks you know a lot and and we'll probably dedicate a different video for this I use um you know a drink here and there to to basically calm my nerves because I know that I'm a jittery person so all right so getting back to the sizing and the risk management which is basically what I was trying to get at when I started this video and I said no matter what happens in Technical and fundamentals even if everything is going right anything can throw off the market and therefore your trade which is why you must follow rules so let's look at what I was talking about you need to determine what kind of Trader you are okay and if you're a more conservative risk averse Trader then you must be careful when you talk about or when you view your trades as being as having a percentage returned versus an absolute return why because it is a mistake to get one small single contract just as it is a mistake to get one large single contract Okay the reason why I say this is because when you are looking and this is where I'm going to end this video when you are looking at a position that you have sized if you size it too big like five hundred dollars that's going to make you way too jittery and you're probably going to end up getting out before the thing actually turns around and takes off and you're going to hate yourself for it okay so definitely do not go all in on just one contract that's worth five hundred dollars that's not gonna work okay what you want to do is you want to be able to have more than one contract okay you want to be able to have more than one contract so that means why because you want to be able to have Runners let's say that you get two contracts then the first one you get out at 15 and then the next one the runner you can let it ride until whatever percentage you want but make sure that you lock in profits on that first contract and normally what you would do is instead of getting the 100 contract get two fifty dollar contracts and then let the first one go to let's say you know 15 out of 50. would be to multiply here like fifty Seven fifty eight dollars okay if you want more than eight dollar return on a fifty dollar trade don't go for a smaller contract okay what you want to do is you want to get more contracts of that same value so what you want is instead of getting 2 of 50 maybe you get 10 of 50. all right what that means is that you'll reach your 15 percent and that 15 is going to be a lot more than eight dollars and that is what you want that is how risk management works properly and that's why you have to size properly you have to leave room for runners and it is a mistake to get small single contracts sometimes we get smaller contracts because they're cheaper but the problem is that if you get a cheaper contract and you didn't look at say for example the Delta on that contract which is why somewhere in here is the Greeks okay if you didn't look at the Delta and that contract has a probability of going in the money of 10 or 15 then basically what you did was you threw your money away yeah it was cheaper you know it was only ten dollars per contract so you were able to get 10 of them so that you're able to get a lot of Runners but guess what that small single contract all of those small single contracts are basically just going to go to zero so be careful you have to be able to determine your size how much you're willing to risk in a week if you're going to risk 100 then try to find trades where you can get at least two contracts start out with at least two contracts that means fifty dollars per contract so you can have one where you get out at 15 or 20 whatever percent and then the next one you let it run to 50. and once you're comfortable with that and you've got a couple of Trades a few trades under your belt where you did that then go ahead and get three contracts even though that pushes you up from one hundred dollar or you know 100 a week limit maybe to 150 a week limit but you already have practice with the whole proper sizing scale out leave runners what you don't want to do is go in the other direction and get very small individual contract or very small multiple contracts of something that's 15 in the money probability all right so with that I'll leave it I don't want to make this video too long I just wanted to wanted to cover that really quickly and we will be looking into a little bit more 101 trading using visuals in the next video so I hope you enjoyed this and if you have questions go ahead and ask me either in Discord or just comment on this video below alright have a good one

aSndGnlRQjI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSndGnlRQjI | Paths into Debian | okay welcome to the second talk we have more a alan here who will talk about paths in the into debian different ways of getting into debian and mariah is long-term debian contributor and currently one of the co-chairs so enjoy his talk hi so this is also meant to be a discussion so I hope you can kind of wake up slightly and get ready to say some things as well not just on IRC either maybe so first before starting off I'd actually be interested to hear from a couple of people or a few people if they can say how they originally came started doing things in Debian or why they are I mean how if you're at Def Con presumably you've had some contact with Debian I don't know can I volunteer someone or maybe like Ashish or Marco or someone else can say something if we have a audience mic so I started using Debian around 2001 2002 and I started just as a user then I wanted to contribute more but I didn't know how so my first point of contribution was trying to create good back reports and so trying to be good at that and starting doing some patches and then I went to DEFCON 4 and to me that was like a turning point in my involvement in Debian putting faces into names I don't know knowing the people that I was speaking to an IRC knowing how they reacted the way they acted it it made me much more comfortable in the Debian community and I very quickly after that I started like containing packages and doing a lot of other stuff Ashish was so I've also began using Debian around 2001 and then I I started I mean I evangelize Debian all to my friends and they were surprised when I seemed to know what every package did when they were just running it just upgrade to like what is the block ID to do and I around 2004 or so decided I want to contribute more to free software not just projects that I started and was trying to choose between contributing to Debian Ubuntu and Trust Debian because it they it was an older more community based distribution anything I did in Debian would flow into a bin - and it has these goals of free software and it's not written anywhere but basically of being as excellent and perfect as possible and so I found some random tools that had I TPS rfp's requests for packages that I could package and those were pretty easy and I found a sponsor err by shaking the mentors list I guess and then I met Mako Hill who became a friend of mine through mutual friend and then I started doing a lot more on Debian and I started maintaining the Alpine Mail reader and then became EDD and somewhere along this while in the while not yet EDD went to a DEFCON 4 that also really made me much more excited about the project so I guess I'll emphasize that too like seven year cap from a 1 to 8 with the peak activity really going up a lot starting five or six years in maybe someone we can force someone hiding at the back of the room I'm sure someone has must have got to Debian somehow well I remember the times when I was using this proprietary operating system and while I knew it by the well but I didn't like it so much so I read and mostly using it as this Linux thingy and I got curious and and reading Usenet postings it looked like cool guys are all using Debian so I looked into heaven too well and at some point I wanted to know how this is created I started to read mailing list try to learn packaging and well and then some people helped me along the way like sponsoring packages inviting me to join teams and since that time I really enjoyed being part of this social project called Debian which creates an operating system so yeah maybe to just to be interested in for who's here how many people in the room think that they well how many people feel that they are currently contributing to Debian I guess probably most people here or and who is who didn't put their hands up in the previous question okay and out of people who are contributing let's say how many people have been contributing up to two years and then maybe kind of between two and four years four and eight years and eight to 16 years and anyone in the room with more than 16 years probably there in the bar okay so maybe we can hear AB later on some more people's own versions of how they've got into Debian but I'll just present a few things to say how the processes have changed a bit over time there's so really the well if we had someone like be dealt hair if you haven't heard about from some fine Beatle in the bar later and you can ask him how he got involved in Debian say pretty much in the early days of Debian adjustment you sent an email saying hi I want to upload packages and you got the ftp password and that was it some processes started to develop over time later on which kind of culminated in the famous nm or new maintainer process as it was at the time which itself then evolved over time and became a kind of feared by people as a big bureaucratic stage with the can the not necessarily the truth but at least the perception from people was they needed to kind of write essays on the philosophy of free software be some kind of kernel hacker license guru lawyer everything else and also it just again the perception wrote in necessarily the reality was this took a long time to go through in practice at any stage when we when every time we've had the nm process there are always been occasional people who had passed it in kind of one evening a few miles backwards and forwards but for most people I mean for myself when I went through nm you get this I got this huge list of questions which just seemed intimidating and maybe I took a few weeks or a month or two to really get round to finding time to reply to it properly and then the whole process then stretched out over a few months which was pretty typical much more recently as a formal process for getting into Debian again people have created the so called DM status which is in a way I mean some people will disagree with me for saying that's been in a way is meant to be a kind of sticking-plaster for the fact that nm was seen as difficult or slow this is to say that just much more easily if you were doing some work in Debian already you could just apply for this status and be able to upload your packages without needing a sponsor anymore now both of those are kind of to give people some formal status but again unlike when Debian started off to be able to get any kind of formal status you already need to be doing some work which is really a kind of chicken and egg problem for a lot of people that people don't feel entitled necessarily to do the work if they haven't got some status but they can't get this until they start so our kind of motto if for this in debian has always just been that there's no problem people should come along and they should just start working on something but if you're really new to the project and don't yet have a good social link don't yet understand how things work that can be quite difficult so yeah the traditional way to get involved in Debian has to be recognized as some kind of contributor has been by doing packages and traditionally that in the last again since the kind of time we had the new maintainer process the way this has generally worked is to tell if someone comes along seeming interested in working on Debian then you say yeah yeah just to top some package you can just look at the WN PP which is a list of packages that have been orphaned or the current maintainer is looking for a replacement maybe you can look through that and find some package that you could take a problem there though is that actually pretty often packages are being or have have been orphaned or are being orphaned for some reason sometimes and often that the current maintainer really knows for example the package is basically dead the dead upstream maybe there's not so much interest but because they invested a lot of time in it over the years it's hard for them just to say we should kill this package so they say well let's find some new victim to take this on but it doesn't it can be then dispiriting if you are the the lucky winner of the new package that you then find out you've got this package which no one's fixing bugs upstream maybe it's becoming incompatible with other parts of the system it's out-of-date or problematic so you see a lot of people who adopt packages and then maybe a six months later or a year later they haven't really changed much and they kind of find it difficult to to move on from that an alternative approach which again is is a good approach in some ways if you're interested in packaging is just to find some software that isn't packaged yet and package it but unfortunately debian is quite big now so probably most of the software that a lot of people really want to use and that has a clear license and that is possible to package without going mad has already been packaged so again I mean even even a lot of software that maybe isn't packaged and seems useful nowadays often it'll be a web app and the upstreams for web apps extremely rarely are interested in the idea of having them packaged they think they should just make some huge terrible you download which overwrites off your system and installs a few languages you hadn't heard of and plus PHP and MySQL and whatever else so again well if you're really an advanced packager you can try to kind of disentangle that all and make something clean it's really a nightmare if you this your first experience of damaging debian packaging so a kind of what people might be recommended to do more recently within packaging would be safe to join a packaging team but again even in that there's kind of trouble because if you're not in the team yet and if you're not making contributions yet and you come say you turn up even if you find where to speak to the current members of the team maybe on some IRC channel if you turn up and say oh hi I've never done any Debian work yet I don't know anything about packages but I want to help if you're lucky they'll say or great will mentor you but a lot of teams there's likely to be a kind of lack of interest because they don't really have the time to mentor someone or they're worried that you'll just break something it varies a lot between different teams but again it's there's no way easily to find out which teams will be receptive necessarily if you're just a new person who turns up the other issue I mean I've been so up to now I was in the examples I was talking about packaging which has always been traditionally how we got people to be recognized contribution of Debian but in the last few years there's been much more recognition within the project that yes packaging is central to Debian but it's not the only way that people should be working on it and that we we've always in fact had a lot here apportion of people who contributed to Debian who've done their contributions through other methods so one that has happened over the years often and has been very successful at getting new people involved in the project has been in translations now this is kind of seen as a success story because kisnya had took it on himself to push this a lot for Debian installer and then through that to try and build up language translation teams for other areas of packaging but and then did active things like we we've always had the exciting maps of the world showing coverage for di so there's a kind of game element or you can get your country your language higher up the list by helping out and so on but in the in them even in translations in the more general area if you look at just translations of the upstream software itself which is actually what users see most of the time then we don't have any kind of anyone leading the same kind of effort so again if someone comes to their being as a translator we can direct them to maybe help with di or to help with deb comp translations other other things like this but there's still it's kind of hard for someone who's just starting off maybe what they were interested in is actually having some some piece of software they use a lot in their language or improving it and again even where there are existing translators they like the packaging people can be a bit territorial that they have their own ideas about how you should translate technical terms into the language for example so if you come along as someone else with a different idea then it can be hard to kind of get yourself in there and be seen as a useful contributor and to get really started off on translations at least we've had some kind of structure if you look at another example of a kind of a non packaging out way of contributing to Debian then we have we in many areas of Debian we would like some kind of design or artwork but really at the moment there's no kind of social infrastructure for that whatsoever if you're a member of Debian already or if you are known to people who are if you're already part of the community then maybe you can produce something people will pick it up and use it for the website or use it for debconf t-shirts whatever it is but if you come along again as an outside person we've had quite a few people over the years who come along and they say for example I've sat in my bedroom for the last six months and here's a redesign of the Debian website now they've probably put a lot of work into that and they have something that we could actually be using but when they come with when they come with there's no social infrastructure and they just come and try and dump something like that and say what can you use it unfortunately the answer is normally people doesn't work technically and people just don't like it they would have preferred something else and so on so again this is an example of an area which is not packaging we're really there's no no way at the moment to easily draw people in and even though we would actually like people to work on this a lot more so again the unsolicited work in this kind of area is often just really gets thrown away at least if you do a package even if it's for some software that no one uses your package will go into the archive and be there until it gets orphaned sometime later if you do some artwork or a redesign of some website and you shove it onto a list then often there's it's just chucked away without anything at all so again I mean there's many other areas at the moment in Debian where we would like much more help but we just have at the moment no way really to get people and we kind of we occasionally are lucky because we find them through people who are doing packaging for example they make a happen to make some contact with someone locally in a place or whatever but it seems to me that we could be doing a lot more to try to actively encourage people in these kind of areas or have some I mean this again as has been discussed in during this DEFCON for example some kind of welcoming for people who turn up but again even if you have some a kind of front approach you still need somewhere to direct them you can't have a couple of people who are going to know exactly what to do with all these people in every different area like this and again these are really the areas where we actually need the most help in a way in packaging of course we want new people but we kind of do that pretty well at the moment whereas artwork we wear okay maybe translations we're good in some parts less good and some others something like fundraising we are desperately short of people to work on and the same for press and in both of these areas most of the people who are currently working at people who came for some other reason to Debian first whereas actually there's a lot of huge number of people out there who have real expertise in these areas and we could be learning from if we could somehow make contact and draw them into Debian so if you're a new person in sit imagine that you are out there and you find out about Debian and you want to start working we do have some documentation online but as it is kind of normal for Debbie and we have various slightly contradictory things actually I mean we've got stuff on the wiki too but even on the main web site we have a few things like this that you might bump into I'm trying to drag a window across okay so you might find this page if you look for your sir you go online and you start searching but how do I work in Debian then you might bump into this one it's kind of quite nice page it's got some useful information but this is on the slash intro / help on on Debian dork which sounds a kind of sensible place for someone to start but if you see it starts off yeah you can do some you can report bugs you could help with support internationalization BTS wiki you could you could start a new Debbie and pour it yourself I mean maybe that will happen there are different architectures do security bugs you can donate but again there's there's nothing here about the case what what might be described as the kind of non-technical contributions and also it's just a kind of big block of text with a few links out but no again there's there's a lack of the kind of social aspect of where do you what you actually do with this if you're a someone who likes to sit in your bedroom and hack maybe that's fine you can go and read 20 different documents and come out with some great idea but a lot of people when they turn up they're expecting to to speak to someone and say well how what should I do or is it really a good idea for me to work on this thing let's let's do another one of these so this is on slash devel /join so yeah how to join Debbie and it sounds sounds a good idea to so what we have here we are we say you should read the DFS G okay read lots of mailing lists yep you can read you can look for orphan packages that's the kind of big contribute X that's under the contributing heading here basically look for orphan packages or pick up something that's half dead already and then yeah we've got a kind of couple of bits that have been tacked on as I kind of afterthought paragraph that actually you could also do documentation or website or translation and then it's pointed out that actually you don't need to join Debbie in any way which is it's kind of true but maybe if you were looking to join Debbie and then it's it could be a bit off-putting to say actually you don't need to bother and again there's a yeah so this then describes exactly you can become diem which is led to upload packages you can become a DD and yeah this should take so many months and so on so I mean it's it's all it's all accurate and useful information but it's not necessarily very welcoming for someone who just turns up and a third one from Debian so again you might if you follow the links from the other pages or you might find this directly from Google then you come here which again tells you the first big point on the page about becoming a new member so you don't need to be a new member to do anything go away what but we're open it's okay then you could yeah you can sponsor do bugs do packaging teams but in this case there's not even much mention of the the kind of non-technical things is there a question or a point I think you'll be on yes I think of being a bit harsh on the wording I think they're trying to send people away I think they're trying to reassure people that they can start working straightaway you don't have to be a DD already so we know we're not a closed group there's only open to them in developers we you can get in without without being yeah I mean I agree I'm being a bit sarcastic there maybe the that's the original intention yeah I just think you're trying to put a negative meaning on it which which the wording isn't trying to convey micro agree with Ian even though I wasn't originally gonna talk about that but yes I think this wording does a good job of being inviting although if we really believe that then we should go test it with some random technical people and that leads me to my major thought here which is to the extent that we think this documentation works for people then we should be able to find any of us should be able to find five fairly technical friends to show up to this page and then quiz them afterwards and say here are the things that we think you should have learned from this page did you learn those things and actually you know you do got the pop of the way here are the questions and you find out their answers and you run against the known good answers and so user testing the stuff is my major suggestion here so far the other suggestion I have is that we don't know it I can think of some semi radical things we could do to improve our how we describe these thing where we put them my major suggestion for that would be to put on the front page as you scroll down here's the way to contribute of the month but if we do that we won't know if it's working unless we set up to measuring infrastructure so we should do that okay so for developing there is really good documentation but did you click on the writing documentation link for the on the developers corner there's nothing what suggests that how to join the documentation theme so and I I suspect that's a little bit for the non-technical areas as well that the how to join in the sub areas is not very well documented and you can see it if I just browse the patient is there nothing about mmm where should I start manage one page you maintain this guy but nothing so here I can start look for that we need to have to make that central translation so maybe at this point we could just compare quickly what some other distributions apparently there do exist other Linux distributions or other free software distributions whatever so let's look at what dear friend or do here this is Fedora I'm going to make the font a bit larger so yeah if you go to the join Fedora page then I don't know I mean I think though even before going into all what the information is maybe you can for me this feels a bit more of a kind of a friendly welcoming page so yeah you have chat join the lists read planet get free stuff and then if you carry on down we've got maybe you're one of these kind of people you could be a Content writer or a designer or a people person an OS developer translator or a web developer as examples so you see here the the kind of packaging thing is not shoved up as the kind of main thing with others an afterthought but it's a lot of different types of people who can contribute in different ways and this I don't know again just some if obviously it's different from people but to me the page here seems maybe to have more of a feeling that they really want people to come and work in these kind of ways just take another couple of examples so let's linux mint i apparently as some kind of newfangled linux thing so they have a get involved page here this is a kind of bit different because they start off with you can do sponsoring and things like this but then you come down join the community and in fact so they have joined the community without even saying you need to make a technical contribution you can make a forum account and start chatting to people and that is already you are joining the community by doing that you can help others debug and so on then they've got new ideas translation artwork code so again there's a in maybe I think I preferred the fedora one but I mean again it's a set of different ways you can contribute with examples that might apply to a broad range of people and as a final example here I have again some distribution I heard of sometime so yeah again happy happy smiling people picture although yeah there are some women in there not so many and not necessarily a broad racial distribution whatever but anyway and they have yeah so this says whether you're experienced or getting started you can join the country you can join the community you can do it locally you can chat online you can help people than some happy quotations from you know Jonah and then again different ways to contribute developers documentation design translations quality I mean in this case actually they've kind of kept the Debian terminology a bit that developers are the technical people and the rest are something else but still at least there they've kind of got a broad range of things there and then again also giving just links back to things like their planet blog website and so on so one possibility of one way to help people may have maybe is based basically to try and make the website information a bit more consistent and a bit more friendly to people I think this would be a great thing if some people who have time we're happy to work on of course that's I think I'm not trying to say that people wouldn't like it to be friendly or better at whatever it's just again obviously the lack of time so it's maybe some people in this room have some interest in working on that I just I'm trying I'm trying to leave some time for discussion but I've got a few other slides to come through so another thing that seems to me would be helpful from this kind if we have this kind of website which again people have agreed for years is a good idea and people have done different versions in the wiki or elsewhere different different initiatives at different times there's some kind of more central list of even within each of these areas tasks that you can easily get started on but again maybe ideally with the kind of people that you should contact for them not just to say this is some bit of code that's needed but this work on this area is needed talk to this person or this list or so on and in fact this could also help existing Debian contributors who are looking for something new to work on again there's been a lot of discussion in this debconf as in the previous period recently about different ways that we can do kind of mentoring within the project different ways we can have temporary internships of people whether that's in debian overall or people who already in Debbie and even within specific teams a few teams have already done this to try that you can try joining the team for a few months and see how you get on and again this is also something that's useful for existing contributors again another thing that people generally agree is a good idea it's not I don't miss as controversial is to say that to have more contribution more communication from teams of what they're up to again this helps within the project it helps people who are trying to actively trying to get into the project I mean I was actually again I've I was pointed out to me this also helps people who just want to learn to start with the more you have kind of good information clearly there whether it's on lists or even on planet even on IRC but as long as it's on some channel that people can kind of find a lot of the people who do want certainly a lot of people who want to work in the technical areas maybe they want to just work on a channel for a few months first and see what happens but they can own people who are not yet in the community you can only do that if they can find out how to do it not if it everything happens on some IRC channel that's hidden from the channel list and not advertised anywhere so on it seems a lot of people who get a lot if you ask people how they got into Debian for most people there was some pre-existing personal link although I think it's very important that we could have some better information on a website and so on that's not normally sufficient to really draw people into a community most people they have someone they knew in that town or someone they knew from University whatever it was who originally introduced them to Debian so one quite one thing that's been brought up and actually is Zach was quite interested in the idea although not much has really happened on it in the last couple of years but again due to lack of time from people is the idea of pushing some more kind of activity of local Debian organisations at what we have successfully done is to create bureaucratic Debian organizations in many countries which can hold money and things like this there's been it's much more variable between different areas whether they actually have any kind of social meeting or any events or things like this and often what happens in practice is that you have a few Debian developers in the city and they may occasionally meet for drinks themselves but they don't really advertise that as a Debian event they're just meeting with their friends which obviously is fair enough but it does seem that there is some space for us to more actively push these some of these things as local groups or whatever obviously again in many places in most of the relevant places there are already different technical meetings including things like Linux user groups but certainly now it may be ten years ago there was much more overlapping in my ex personal experience there's more overlap then between the kind of developed Debian developer style or interest and things like learn exclusive groups now a lot of them have moved much more to actually be Linux user groups by as the name suggests and have things like talks about how to use OpenOffice or this kind of stuff that isn't typically so interesting to people who are pushing to actually make some serious free software contribution it's a slightly different angle so again I I'm I'm not trying to say that we should fork off or split away from any eight groups we are part of already but in many places that we're certainly in in bigger cities around the world it may make sense to have some kind of advertised Debian meeting even if in practices it's just a couple of DDS who meet for a drink there's not really any harm to advertise that and see if anyone else comes along who wants to get involved so I've where we've still got a few minutes so I was I've listed here a few topics people might want to make some comment about or tell me why it's a really stupid idea or whatever so things like local groups again if anyone wants this if anyone has specific ideas about the website or would like to volunteer to be helped to help work on that anyone who wants to who thinks or I mean again there are some kind of task list already but it really needs some people to more actively curate them to try to find seek out things that are easy topics to people to join or find points of contact and so on again other ways if anyone has ideas of other ways that we can find people for what they call a normally kind of described as the non-technical task because the all the titles aren't packaging in general actually and other other ideas that people have so who wants to start I can I can say something I think that yeah the ideas were great about how to simplify documentation I think we should do that but it does not solve the core problem you mentioned in the beginning that many people might want to have social interactions in someone and I'm not sure if it's possible to do that online maybe we can try to do that but I really like the local groups idea but the problem with local groups is kind of you need quite a high density so that it works because people don't want to travel many hours for these meetings but it's something I'm continuing to experiment with in Switzerland I think it could work like rotating between cities every second month or something and then maybe we'll see how it goes I actually it has one of one of the half things I think you missed what we could start this and what was I was doing myself is I just started with some casings which offers to do which are postcards websites and just need sample to have time I mean there are low-hanging fruits they are hiring hanging foods a very high hanging fruit so one could go up step by step in the past already have seen once and non-german developer who contributed quite many pictures to the back reports in fact we're also high quality he says and I I said I recommended him to start may am process was autumn package and even zoo so yes you could do with taking the work without package to Suzanne impulses and said something I think we should recommend to more people and yes it also helps help step in weather much because we don't get yet another thing which needs to be cut off but summer tasks take care of the things they've actually really need headlight now okay there's one question from IRC about if there's possibility or even the policy about providing infrastructure like mailing lists to local groups less masters or a Leo admins want to comment I could've caught I confirm it even with not being a list master pass yes we say a case versus is being done so I assume it will be done from other clubs as well in Brazil what we did was we greater a layout project for deaf in Brazil and then we create local lists inside that project on Elliot we don't need really trust list masters who create those lists so I'm along these lines I'm very involved in Python user groups and every year at the yearly Python conference in the US there's a Brazil feather session with people who run local user groups and more than once I've seen the following conversation somebody says oh yeah I was trying to get a Python user group started in my random town in Ohio and I made a mailing list and I tried to advertise it nobody came but what I found most remarkable was that once the person sitting next to that person said actually I live in the same town and started to mail a Python user group right at the same time but I started mine on meetup calm and then we were flooded with attendees and we've had a great time and we eventually merged with the one sitting next to me and this is not to be an overwhelming endorsement of meetup in particular but just to say that the tasks of not just creating the group for getting the word out about the group are separate and both of them are hard and they're getting the word out as a harder part no I think you can I mean it's if you have a couple of Debian people in the same city already the easiest way is just to make them then meet socially as it is but advertise it then there's no they don't need to feel bad if they don't have 100 people turn up at the meeting I mean as even if even if it's purely a social thing that still gives a much easier so social access for new people to come along and have a chat anyone here at Def Con have you met someone at Def Con who lives in the same country as you who you did not know they lived in the same country as you until you met them at Def Con a few hands I mean I met someone at the dinner yeah I'm at some of the dinner who had met someone across the table who both lived in Paris they just didn't know which is to say that getting the word out is still really hard yeah I organized the squashing party in Shanghai and there was a lot of people who showed up who had never made anything in Debian and it was great but I was not expecting that and I think it would have been even better if I could have found some tasks for them which was up to their level and I think that that's sure maybe some other school could have the same experience that's why I won sure yeah I've also seen this where bugs crossing parties have basically turned into kind of mentoring or introductory events because the people who turned up were people who wanted to get involved in Debian rather than people who are already ready to start squashing are see bugs which is is fine but again maybe it's we shouldn't just focus on this kind of bug squashing even though that's more directly more immediately useful for Debian in the short term that really if you get people involved in this way that will in a long time have a bigger benefit so you mentioned quite a lot of very interesting ideas about improving all those ways if you had to choose well your sense that lots of people like time if you had to choose just the three main ideas that you think you should right do right now well as soon as possible it's tricky because some of the ideas I think would be most useful also require more time so I think having if you had a kind of welcoming people plus a curated task list and point of contact then those two already would make a huge difference but keeping finding this list of tasks that are accessible for people coming in at different levels there's a huge amount of work itself and as obviously in many cases you might even have tasks for it's it's quicker for someone just to fix it themselves than to really document it but having those kind of tasks available documented is also is a useful thing and again I think the local groups would make it if we imagine we could flick a switch and have local Debian groups in every major city it would be a huge difference but again you can't just make that happen overnight okay cool yeah the so it seems like we got a bunch of critical mass for a Debian welcoming team yesterday and the core notion behind that behind that is taking people who have already shown up to the project somehow made a wiki edit or probably initially just gotten all the way through to uploading a sponsored package and welcoming them I think we are going to end up over the next six months with some kind of bug curation because we'll we'll want to have more want that when communicating with people so if anyone else is interested in joining this welcoming team to greet new people then please find me I'm ashish afterwards the microphones not working over there I think no no not video again I really want to stress out the point of that the other ways of getting into Debian like contributing to duck or art I'm very well-documented because um someone said to me today okay follow back against the new maintainer Scott even I who are who is used to packages I just said okay where should I go then hmm yeah there's no that nothing on the webpage until I thought wait there's a package and that's for non-technical people even not much more and into counterintuitive and this is the part the basic steps are already done but we have to refine them yeah well many Debian teams are not even well documented for people within the teams at the moment they're already had quite a few teams well people within when I started with with IT documentation was a way to get into because I read the documentation try to understand it try to use it and there I could I could go into it and this is for some simi technical people easier and and who in the room would be interested in principle in participating in a debian local group in their city or their region yeah so I think it's possible to make these things happen yeah do we have a where we're almost come here time to anyone house have a couple another point or two yes I knew any again any other people at the back hiding at the back of the room have a willing to voice their opinion no or sleeping just wanted to mention my very small experience last year I organized a bus caution part in Dublin just because it was to freeze and I saw there was no other deviant bands and then I realized was no Tavian community and a lot of people show up and well I had to leave the country anyway so I couldn't continue much with that but there is kind of a local debian group now that hopefully will grow with time but it was amazing to see that the worst interest just somebody needed to do the first step and gather the people it was the same in Barcelona that we have what we have we used the Debian user Catalan for doing social things well it's an user and and we can a lot of people is asking for technical reasons but it it's only used to to prepare like with little party with it a workshop and people is looking for doing more things so it's what ding chavez said one person has to do something and then yeah I think we're pretty much out of time but as Manisha wants to say something quick okay so she is some last short comment but this will be very short if you guys make it short so it seems like we have a lot of great use of grouping energy but we don't have anybody organizing the effort of make Debian low flick user groups happen so what we need is two people who are willing to be Co meta organizers of Debian local users local user groups to keep track of those so we don't have the same event next year at Def Con so we can say that that's gotten better so who is interested in getting in touch with local user groups and making sure that our wiki documentation about local user groups is up-to-date I'm happy to help you with it yeah I'm also willing to help on this but again I travel a lot so it's hard for me to constantly have time on it so it would be very nice if one or two people maybe who even people who aren't yet feeling that they contribute a lot to Debian this is a great way to get started in itself cool we'll start with you and it will talk more afterwards so thanks to Mirai for this great session and I hope in the next year we will see many local user groups throughout the world and in a true Debian spirit they can grow from the bottom up and it does not need coordination from the top so don't wait for the coordinators to form your local user group Thanks [Applause] | DebConf Videos |

4vZ9dQ_n8zQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vZ9dQ_n8zQ | Four Great Americans | James Baldwin | *Non-fiction, Biography & Autobiography | Soundbook | 2/2 | section 35 webster chapter 5 of four great americans by james baldwin read for librivox.org into the public domain at exeter academy it was the first time that daniel webster had been so far from home he was bashful and awkward his clothes were of homemade stuff and they were cut in the quaint style of the back country districts he must have been a funny looking fellow no wonder that the boys laughed when they saw him going up to the principal to be examined for admission the principal of the academy at the time was dr benjamin abbott he was a great scholar and a very dignified gentleman he looked down at the slender black-eyed boy and asked what is your age sir 14 years said daniel i will examine you first in reading take this bible and let me hear you read some of these verses he pointed to the 22nd chapter of saint luke's gospel the boy took the book and began to read he had read this chapter a hundred times before indeed there was no part of the bible that was not familiar to him he read with a clearness and fervor which few men could equal the dignified principle was astonished he stood as though spellbound listening to the rich mellow tones of the bashful lad from among the hills in the case of most boys it was enough if he heard them read a verse or two but he allowed daniel webster to read on until he had finished the chapter then he said there is no need to examine you further you are fully qualified to enter this academy most of the boys at exeter were gentlemen's sons they dressed well they had been taught fine manners they had the speech of cultivated people they laughed at the awkward new boy they made fun of his home spun coat they twitted him on account of his poverty they annoyed him in a hundred ways daniel felt hurt by this cruel treatment he grieved bitterly over it in secret but he did not resent it he studied hard and read much he was soon at the head of all his classes his schoolmates ceased laughing at him for they saw that with all his uncouth ways he had more ability than any of them he had as i have said a wonderful memory he had also a quick insight and sound judgment but he had had so little experience with the world that he was not sure of his own powers he knew that he was awkward and this made him timid and bashful when it came his turn to to claim before the school he had not the courage to do it long afterwards when he had become the greatest orator of modern times he told how hard this thing had been for him at exeter many a piece did i commit to memory and rehearse in my room over and over again but when the day came when the school collected when my name was called and i saw all eyes turned upon my seat i could not raise myself from it sometimes the masters frowned sometimes they smiled my tutor always pressed and entreated with the most winning kindness that i would venture only once but i could not command sufficient resolution and when the occasion was over i went home and wept tears of bitter mortification daniel stayed nine months at exeter in those nine months he did as much as the other boys of his age could do in two years he mastered arithmetic geography grammar and rhetoric he also began the study of latin besides this he was a great reader of all kinds of books and he added something every day to his general stock of knowledge his teachers did not oblige him to follow a graded course of study they did not hold him back with the duller pupils of his class they did not oblige him to wait until the end of the year before he could be promoted or could begin the study of a new subject but they encouraged him to do his best as soon as he had finished one subject he advanced to a more difficult one more than 50 years afterwards dr abbott declared that in all his long experience he had never known anyone whose power of gaining knowledge was at all equal to that of the bashful country lag from the new hampshire hills judge webster would have been glad to let daniel stay at exeter until he had finished the studies required at the academy but he could not afford the expense if he should spend all his money to keep the boy at the academy how could he afterwards find the means to send him to college where the expenses would be much greater so he thought it best to find a private teacher for the boy this would be cheaper end of section 35 read by sabella denton for more information

webster asked daniel to ride with him to boscawen boscowen was a little town six miles away where they sometimes went for business or for pleasure snow was on the ground father and son rode together in a little old-fashioned sleigh and as they rode they talked about many things just as they were going up the last hill judge webster said daniel do you know the reverend samuel wood here in boscawen i have heard of him said daniel he takes boys into his family and gets them ready for college yes and he does it cheap too said his father he charges only a dollar a week for board intuition fuel and lights and everything but they say he is a fine teacher said daniel his boys never fail in the college examinations that is what i've heard too answered his father and now danny i may as well tell you a secret for the last six years i've been planning to have you take a course at dartmouth college i want you to stay with dr wood this winter and he will get you ready to enter we might as well go and see him now this was the first time that daniel had ever heard his father speak of sending him to college his heart was so full that he could not say a word but the tears came in his eyes as he looked up into the judge's stern kind face he knew that if his father carried out his plan it would cost a great deal of money and if this money should be spent for him then the rest of the family would have to deny themselves of many comforts which they might otherwise have oh never mind that dan said his brother ezekiel we are never so happy as when we are doing something for you and we know that you will do something for us sometime and so the boys spent the winter in boscawen with dr wood he learned everything very easily but he was not as close a student as he had been at exeter he was very fond of sport he liked to go fishing and sometimes when the weather was fine his studies were sadly neglected there was a circulating library in boscawen and daniel read every book that was in it sometimes he slided his latin for the sake of giving more time to such reading one of the books in the library was don quixote daniel thought it the most wonderful story in existence he afterwards said i began to read it and it is literally true that i never closed my eyes until i had finished it so great was the power of this extraordinary book on my imagination but it was so easy for the boy to learn that he made very rapid progress in all his studies in less than a year dr wood declared that he was ready for college he was then 15 years old he had a pretty thorough knowledge of arithmetic but he had never studied algebra or geometry in latin he had read four of cicero's orations and six books of virgil's aeneid he knew something of the elements of greek grammar and had read a portion of the greek testament nowadays a young man could hardly enter even a third-rate college without a better preparation than that but colleges are much more thorough than they were a hundred

public domain at dartmouth college dartmouth college is at hanover new hampshire it is one of the oldest colleges in america and among its students have been many of the foremost men of new england it was in the fall of 1797 that daniel webster entered this college he was then a tall slender youth with high cheekbones and a swarthy skin the professors soon saw that he was no common lad they said to one another this young webster will one day be a greater man than any of us and young webster was well behaved and studious at college he was as fond of sport as any of the students but he never gave himself up to boyish pranks he was punctual and regular in all his classes he was as great a reader as ever he could learn anything that he tried no other young man had a broader knowledge of things than he and yet he did not make his mark as a student in the prescribed branches of study he could not confine himself to the narrow routine of the college course he did not as at exeter push his way quickly to the head of his class he won no prizes but he minded his own business said one of the professors as steady as the sun he pursued with intense application the great object for which he came to college soon everybody began to appreciate his scholarship everybody admired him for his manliness and good common sense he was looked upon as being so far in advance of anyone else that no other student of his class was ever spoken of as second to him he very soon lost that bashfulness which had troubled him so much at exeter it was now no task for him to stand up and acclaim before the professors and students in a short time he became known as the best writer and speaker in the college indeed he loved to speak and the other students were always pleased to listen to him one of his classmates tells us how he prepared his speeches he says it was webster's custom to arrange his thoughts in his mind while he was in his room or while he was walking alone then he would put them upon paper just before the exercise was to be called for if he was to speak at two o'clock he would often begin to write after dinner and when the bell rang he would fold his paper put it in his pocket go in and speak with great ease in his movements he was slow and deliberate except when his feelings were aroused then his whole soul would kindle into a flame in the year 1800 he was chosen to deliver the fourth of july address to the students of the college and the citizens of the town he was then 18 years old the speech was a long one it was full of the love of country its tone throughout was earnest and thoughtful but in its style it was overdone it was full of pretentious expressions it lacked the simplicity and good common sense that should mark all public addresses and yet as the speech of so young a man it was a very able effort people said that it was the promise of much greater things and they were right in the summer of 1801 daniel graduated but he took no honors he was not even present at the commencement his friends were grieved that he had not been chosen to deliver the valedictory address perhaps he also was disappointed but the professors had thought best to give that honor to another student end of section 37 read by sabella denton for more information please visit librivox.org section 38 webster chapter eight of four great americans by james baldwin read for librivox.org into the public domain how daniel taught school while daniel webster was taking his course in college there was one thing that troubled him very much it was the thought of his brother ezekiel toiling at home on the farm he knew that ezekiel had great abilities he knew that he was not fond of the farm but that he was anxious to become a lawyer this brother had given up all his dearest plans in order that daniel might be favored and daniel knew that this was so once when daniel was at home on a vacation he said zeke this thing is all wrong father has mortgaged the farm for money to pay my expenses at school and you are making a slave of yourself to pay off the mortgage it isn't right for me to let you do this ezekiel said daniel i am stronger than you are and if one of us has to stay on the farm of course i'm the one but i want you to go to college said daniel and education will do you as much good as me i doubt it said ezekiel and yet if father was only able to send us both i think that we might pay him back sometime i will see father about it this very day said daniel he did see him i told my father said daniel afterwards that i was unhappy at my brother's prospects for myself i saw my way to knowledge respectability and self-protection but as to ezekiel all looked the other way i said that i would keep school and get along as well as i could be more than four years in getting through college if necessary provided he also could be sent to study the matter was referred to daniel's mother and she and his father talked it over together they knew that it would take all the property they had to educate both the boys they knew that they would have to do without many comforts and that they would have a hard struggle to make a living while the boys were studying but the mother said i will trust the boys and it was settled that ezekiel 2 should have a chance to make his mark in the world he was now a grown-up man he was tall and strong and ambitious he entered college the very year that daniel graduated as for daniel he was now ready to choose a profession what should it be his father wanted him to become a lawyer and so to please his parents he went home and began to read law in the office of a mr thompson in the little village of salisbury which adjoined his father's farm the summer passed by it was very pleasant to have nothing to do but to read and when the young man grew tired of reading he could go out fishing or could spend a day in hunting among the new hampshire hills it is safe to say that he did not learn very much law during that summer but there was not a day that he did not think about his brother ezekiel had done much to help him through college and now ought he not to help ezekiel but what could he do he had a good education and his first thought was that he might teach school and thus earn a little money for ezekiel the people of freiburg in maine wanted him to take charge of the academy in their little town and so early in the fall he decided to take up with their offer he was to have 350 dollars for the year's work and that would help ezekiel a great deal he bad goodbye to mr thompson and his little law office and made ready to go into his new field of labor there were no railroads at that time and a journey of even a few miles was a great undertaking daniel had bought a horse for 24 in one end of an old-fashioned pair of saddle bags he put his sunday clothes and in the other he packed his books he laid the saddlebags upon the horse then he mounted and rode off over the hills toward fryeburg 60 miles away he was not quite 20 years old he was very slender and nearly six feet in height his face was thin and dark his eyes were black and bright and penetrating no person who once saw them could ever forget them young as he was he was very successful as a teacher during that year which he spent at fryeburg the trustees of the academy were so highly pleased that they wanted him to say a second year they promised to raise his salary to five or six hundred dollars and to give him a house and a piece of land he was greatly tempted to give up all further thoughts of becoming a lawyer what shall i do he said to himself shall i say yes gentlemen and sit down here to spend my days in a kind of comfortable privacy but his father was anxious that he should return to the study of the law and so he was not long in making up his mind in a letter to one of his friends he said i shall make one more trial of the law and the ensuing autumn if i prosecute the profession i pray god to fortify me against its temptations to be honest to be capable to be faithful to my client and my conscience early the next september he was again in mr thompson's little law office all the money that he had saved while at fryeburg was spent to help ezekiel through college end of section 38 read by sabella denton for more information please visit librivox.org section 39 webster chapter 9 of

made up his mind as to what profession he would follow and so he was a much better student than he had been before he read many law books with care he read hume's history of england and spent a good deal of time with the latin classics at this period of my life he afterwards said i passed a great deal of time alone my amusements were fishing and shooting and riding and all these were without a companion i loved this solitude then and i have loved it ever since and i love it still the webster family were still very poor judge webster was now too old to do much work of any kind the farm had been mortgaged for all that it was worth it was hard to find money enough to keep daniel at his law studies and ezekiel in college at last it became necessary for one of the young men to do something that would help matters alone ezekiel decided that he would leave college for a time and try to earn enough money to meet the present needs of the family through some of his friends he obtained a small private school in boston there were very few pupils in ezekiel webster school but there were so many branches to be taught that he could not find time to hear all the recitations so at last he sent word to daniel to come down and help him if daniel would teach an hour and a half each day he should have enough money to pay his board daniel was pleased with the offer he had long wanted to study law in boston and here was his opportunity and so early in march 1804 he joined his brother in that city and was soon doing what he could to help him in his little school there was in boston at that time a famous lawyer whose name was christopher gore while daniel webster was wondering how he could best carry on his studies in the city he heard that mr gore had no clerk in his office how i should like to read law with mr gore he said to ezekiel yes said ezekiel you could not want a better tutor i mean to see him today and apply for a place in his office said daniel it was with many misgivings that the young man went into the presence of the great lawyer we will let him tell the story in his own words i was from the country i said had studied law for two years had come to boston to study a year more had heard that he had no clerk thought it possible he would receive one i told him that i came to boston to work not to play was most desirous on all accounts to be his pupil and all i ventured to ask at present was that he would keep a place for me in his office till i could write to new hampshire for proper letters showing me worthy of it mr gore listened to this speech very kindly and then bad daniel be seated while he should have a short talk with him when at last the young man rose to go mr gore said my young friend you look as if you might be trusted you say you came to study and not to waste time i will take you at your word you may as well hang up your hat at once and this was the beginning of daniel webster's career in boston he must have done well in mr gore's office for in a few months he was admitted to the practice of law in the court of common pleas in boston it was at some time during this same winter that daniel was offered the position of clerk in the county court at home his father as you will remember was one of the judges in this court and he was very much delighted at the thought that his son would be with him the salary would be about fifteen hundred dollars a year and that was a great sum to daniel as well as to his father the mortgage on the farm could be paid off ezekiel could finish his course in college and life would be made easier for them all at first daniel was as highly pleased as his father but after he had talked with mr gore he decided not to accept the offered position your prospects as a lawyer said mr gore are good enough to encourage you to go on go on and finish your studies you are poor enough but there are greater evils than poverty live on no man's favor pursue your profession make yourself useful to your friends and a little formidable to your enemies and you will have nothing to fear a few days after that daniel paid a visit to his father the judge received him very kindly but he was greatly disappointed when the young man told him that he had made up his mind not to take the place with his deep set flashing eyes he looked at his son for a moment as though in anger then he said very slowly well my son your mother has always said that you would come to something or nothing she was not sure which i think you are now about settling that doubt for her a few weeks after this daniel as i've already told you was admitted to the bar in boston but he did not think it best to begin his practice there he knew how anxious his father was that he should be near him he wanted to do all that he could to cheer and comfort the declining years of the noble man who had sacrificed everything for him and so in the spring of 1805 he settled in the town of boscawen six miles from home and put up

take charge of the home farm and care for their mother ezekiel had not yet graduated from college but he had read law and was hoping to be admitted to the bar he was a man of much natural ability and many people believed that he would someday become a very famous lawyer and so in the autumn of 1807 daniel gave up to his brother the law business which he had in boscawen and removed to the city of portsmouth he was now 25 years old in portsmouth he would find plenty of work to do it would be the very kind of work that he liked he was now well started on the road towards greatness the very next year he was married to miss grace fletcher the daughter of a minister in hopkinton the happy couple began housekeeping in a small modest wooden house in portsmouth and there they lived very plainly and without pretension for several years mr webster's office was a common ordinary looking room with less furniture and more books than common he had a small inner room opening from the larger rather an unusual thing it was not long until the name of daniel webster was known all over new hampshire those who were acquainted with him said that he was the smartest young lawyer in portsmouth they said that if he kept on in the way that he had started there were great things in store for him the country people told wonderful stories about him they said that he was as black as a coal but of course they had never seen him they believed that he could gain any case in court that he chose to manage and in this they were about right there was another lawyer in portsmouth his name was jeremiah mason and he was much older than mr webster indeed he was already a famous man when daniel first began the practice of law the young lawyer and the older one soon became warm friends and yet they were often opposed to each other in the courts daniel was always obliged to do his best when mr mason was against him this caused him to be very careful it no doubt made him become a better lawyer than he otherwise would have been while webster was thus quietly practicing law in new hampshire trouble was brewing between the united states and england the english were doing much to hinder american merchants from trading with foreign countries they claimed the right to search american vessels for seamen who had deserted from the british service and it is said that american sailors were often dragged from their own vessels and forced to serve onboard the english ships matters kept getting worse and worse for several years at last in june 1812 the united states declared war against england daniel webster was opposed to this war and he made several speeches against it he said that although we had doubtless suffered many wrongs there was more cause for war with france than with england and then the united states had no navy and hence was not ready to go to war with any nation webster's influence in new hampshire was so great that he persuaded many people of that state to think just as he thought on this subject they nominated him as their representative in congress and when the time came they elected him it was on the 24th of may 1813 that he first took his seat in congress he was then 31 years old in that same congress there were two other young men who afterward made their names famous in the history of their country one was henry clay of kentucky the other was john c calhoun of south carolina both were a little older than webster both had already made some mark in public life and both were in favor of the war during his first year in congress mr webster made some stirring speeches in support of his own opinions as well by his skill and debate he made himself known as a young man of more than common ability and promise chief justice marshall who was then at the head of the supreme court of the united states said of him i have never seen a man of whose intellect i had a higher opinion in 1814 the war that had been going on so long came to an end but now there were other subjects which claimed mr webster's attention in congress then as now there were important questions regarding the money of the nation and upon these questions there was a great difference of opinion daniel webster's speeches in favor of a sound currency did much to maintain the national credit and to save the country from bankruptcy the people of new hampshire were so well pleased with

webster removed with his family to boston he had lived in portsmouth nine years and he now felt that he needed a wider field for the exercise of his talents he was no longer the slender delicate person that he had been in his boyhood and youth he was a man of noble mean a sturdy dignified personage who bore the marks of greatness upon him people said when daniel webster walked across the streets of boston he made the buildings look small as soon as his term in congress had expired he began the practice of law in boston for nearly seven years he devoted himself strictly to his profession of course he at once took his place as the leading lawyer of new england indeed he soon became known as the ableist counselor and advocate in america the best business of the country now came to him his income was very large amounting to more than twenty thousand dollars a year and during this time there was no harder worker than he in fact his natural genius could have done but little for him had it not been for his untiring industry one of his first great victories in law was that which is known as the dartmouth college case the lawmakers of new hampshire had attempted to pass a law to alter the charter of the college by doing this they would endanger the usefulness and prosperity of that great school in order to favor the selfish projects of its enemies daniel webster undertook to defend the college the speech which he made before the supreme court of the united states was a masterly effort sir he said you may destroy this little institution it is weak it is in your hands i know it is one of the lesser lights in the literary horizon of our country you may put it out but if you do so you must carry through your work you must extinguish one after another all

had risked so much to found new homes in what was then a bleak wilderness the speechless mr webster delivered was one of the greatest ever heard in america it placed him at once at the head of american orders john adams the second president of the united states was then living a very old man he said this oration will be read 500 years hence with as much rapture as it was heard it ought to be read at the end of every century and indeed at the end of every year forever and ever but this was only the first of many great addresses by mr webster in 1825 he delivered an oration at the laying of the cornerstone of the bunker hill monument eighteen years later when the monument was finished he delivered another many of mr webster's admirers think that these two orations are as masterpieces on july 4th 1826 the united states had been independent just 50 years on that day there passed away two of the greatest men of the country john adams and thomas jefferson both were ex-presidents and both had been leaders in the councils of the nation it was in memory of these two patriots that daniel webster was called to deliver an oration in faneuil hall boston no other funeral oration has ever

years he was at that time the most famous man in massachusetts and his name was known and honored in every state of the union after that he was re-elected to the same place again and again and for

commonly called the reply to hain i shall not here try to explain the purport of mr haines speeches for there were two of them i shall not try to describe the circumstances which led mr webster to

of april after having held his office just one month and his place was taken by the vice president john tyler mr webster now felt that his position in the cabinet would not be a pleasant one but he continued to hold it for nearly two years his most important act as secretary of state was to conclude a treaty with england which fixed the northeastern boundary of the united states this treaty is known in history as the ashburton treaty in 1843 mr webster resigned his place in president tyler's cabinet but he was not allowed to remain long in private life two years later he was again elected to the united states senate about this time texas was annexed to the united states but mr webster did not favor this for he believed that such an act was contrary to the constitution of our country he did all that he could to keep our government from making war upon mexico but after this war had been begun he was a firm friend of the soldiers who took part in it and he did much to provide for their

now go back a little way in our story and learn something about mr webster's home and private life in 1831 mr webster bought a large farm at marshfield in the southeastern part of massachusetts not far from the sea he spent a great deal of money in improving this farm and in the end it was as fine a country seat as one might see anywhere in new england when he became tired with the many cares of his busy life mr webster could always find rest and quiet days at marshfield he liked to dress himself as a farmer and stroll about the fields looking at the cattle and the growing crops i had rather be here than in the senate he would say but his life was clouded with many sorrows long before going to marshfield his two eldest children were laid in the grave their mother followed them just one year before mr webster's first entry into the united states senate in 1829 his brother ezekiel died suddenly while speaking in court at concord ezekiel had never cared much for politics but as a lawyer in his native state he had won many honors his death came as a great shock to everybody that knew him to his brother it brought overwhelming sorrow when daniel webster was nearly 48 years old he married a second wife she was the daughter of a new york merchant and her name was carolyn bayard leroy she did much to lighten the disappointments of his later life and they lived together happily for more than 20 years in 1839 mr and mrs webster made a short visit to england the fame of the great order had gone before him and he was everywhere received with honor the greatest men of the time were proud to meet him henry hallam the historian wrote of him mr webster approaches as nearly to the bow ideal of a republican senator as any man that i have ever seen in the course of my life even the queen invited him to dine with her and she was much pleased with his dignified ways and noble bearing and indeed his appearance was such as to win the respect of all who saw him when he walked the

would finally be elected president of the united states and indeed there was no man in all this country who was better fitted for that high position than he but it so happened that inferior men who were willing to stoop to the tricks of politics always stepped in before him in the meanwhile the question of slavery was becoming every day more and more important it was the one subject which claimed everybody's attention should slavery be allowed in the territories there was great excitement all over the country there were many hot debates in congress it seemed as though the union would be destroyed at last the wiser and cooler-headed leaders in congress said let each side give up a little to the other let us have a compromise on the 7th of march 1850 mr webster delivered a speech before the senate it was a speech in favor of compromise in favor of conciliation he thought that this was the only way to preserve the union and he was willing to sacrifice everything for the constitution and the union he declared that all the ends he aimed at were for his country's good i speak today for the preservation of the union he said hear me for my cause i speak today out of a solicitous and anxious heart for the restoration to the country of that quiet and harmony which make the blessings of this union so rich and dear to us all he then went on to defend the law known as the fugitive slave law he declared that this law was in accordance with the constitution and hence it should be enforced according to its true meaning this speech was a great disappointment to his friends they said that he had deserted them that he had gone over to their enemies that he was no longer a champion of freedom but of slavery those who had been his warmest supporters now turned against him a few months after this president taylor died the vice president millard fillmore then became president mr fillmore was in sympathy with daniel webster and soon gave him a seat in his cabinet as secretary of state this was the second time that mr webster had been called to fill this high and honorable position but under president fillmore he did no very great or important thing he was still the leading man in the whig party and he hoped in 1852 to be nominated for the presidency but in this he was again disappointed he was now an old man he had had great successes in life but he felt that he had failed the end of the race his health was giving way he went home to marshfield for the quiet and rest which he so much needed in may that same year he was thrown from his carriage and severely hurt from this hurt he never recovered he offered to resign his seat in the cabinet but mr fillmore would not listen to this in september he became very feeble and his friends knew that

lincoln chapter one of four great americans by james baldwin read for librivox.org into the public domain the story of abraham lincoln the kentucky home not far from hodginsville in kentucky there once lived a man whose name was thomas lincoln this man had built for himself a little log cabin by the side of a brook where there was an ever flowing spring of water there was but one room in this cabin on the side next to the brook there was a low doorway and at one end there was a large fireplace built of rough stones and clay the chimney was very broad at the bottom and narrow at the top it was made of clay with flat stones and slender sticks laid around the outside to keep it from falling apart in the wall on one side of the fireplace there was a square hole for a window but there was no glass in this window in the summer it was left open all the time in cold weather a deerskin or a piece of coarse cloth was hung over it to keep out the wind in the snow at night or on stormy days the skin of a bear was hung across the doorway for there was no door on hinges to be opened and shut there was no ceiling to the room but the inmates of the cabin by looking up could see the bear rafters and the rough roof boards which mr lincoln himself had split in hewn there was no floor but only the bare ground that had been smoothed and beaten until it was as level and hard as pavement for chairs there were only blocks of wood and a little rude bench on one side of the fireplace the bed was a little platform of poles on which were spread the furry skins of wild animals and a patchwork quilt of homespun goods in this poor cabin on the 12th of february 1809 a baby boy was born there was already one child in the family a girl two years old whose name was sarah the little boy grew up and became strong like other babies and his parents named him abraham after his grandfather who had been killed by the indians many years before when he was old enough to run about he liked to play under the trees by the cabin door sometimes he would go with his little sister into the woods and watch the birds and the squirrels he had no playmates he did not know the meaning of toys or playthings but he was a happy child and had many pleasant ways thomas lincoln the father was a kind-hearted man very strong and brave sometimes he would take the child on his knee and tell him strange true stories of the great forest and of the indians and the fierce beasts that roamed among the hills and woods for thomas lincoln had always lived on the wild frontier and he would rather hunt deer and other game in the forest than do anything else perhaps this is why he was so poor perhaps this is why he was content to live in the little log cabin with so few of the comforts of life but nancy lincoln the young mother did not complain she too had grown up among the rude scenes of the backwoods she had never known better things and yet she was by nature refined and gentle and people who knew her said that she was very handsome she was a model housekeeper too and her poor log cabin was the neatest and best kept house in all that neighborhood no woman could be busier than she she knew how to spin and weave and she made all the clothing for the family she knew how to wield the axe and the hoe and she could work on the farm or in the garden when her help was needed she had also learned how to shoot with a rifle and she could bring down a deer or other wild game with as much ease as could her husband and when the game was brought home she could dress it she could cook the flesh for food and of the skin she could make clothing for her husband and children there was still another thing that she could do she could read and she read all the books that she could get hold of she taught her husband the letters of the alphabet and she showed him how to write his name for thomas lincoln had never gone to school and he had never learned how to read as soon as little abraham was old enough to understand his mother read stories to him from the bible then while he was still very young she taught him to read the stories for himself the neighbors thought it a wonderful thing that so small a boy could read there were very few of them who could do as much few of them thought it of any great use to learn how to read there were no school houses in that part of kentucky in those days and of course there were no public schools one winter a traveling school master came that way he got leave to use a cabin not far from mr lincoln's and gave notice that he would teach school for two or three weeks the people were too poor to pay him for teaching longer the name of this school master was zechariah riney the young people for miles around flocked to the school most of them were big girls and boys and a few were grown up young men the only little child was abraham lincoln and he was not yet five years old there was only one book studied at that school and it was a spelling book it had some easy reading lessons at the end but these were not to be read until after every word in the book had been spelled you can imagine how the big boys and girls felt when abraham lincoln proved that he could spell and read better than any of them end of section 46 read by sabella denton for more information please visit librivox.org section 47 lincoln chapter 2 of four great americans

county in indiana it was not yet a year since indiana had become a state land could be bought very cheap and mr lincoln thought that he could make a good living there for his family he had heard also that game was plentiful in the indiana woods it was not more than 70 or 80 miles from the old home to the new but it seemed very far indeed and it was a good many days before the travelers reached their journey's end over a part of the way there was no road and the movers had to cut a path for themselves through the thick woods the boy abraham was tall and very strong for his age he already knew how to handle an axe and few men could shoot with a rifle better than he he was his father's helper in all kinds of work it was in november when the family came to the place which was to be their future home winter was near at hand there was no house nor shelter of any kind what would become of the patient tired mother and the gentle little sister who had borne themselves so bravely during the long hard journey no sooner had the horses been loosed from the wagon than abraham and his father were at work with their axes in a short time they had built what they called a camp this camp was but a rude shed made of poles and thatched with leaves and branches it was enclosed on three sides so that the chill winds or driving rains from the north and west could not enter the fourth side was left open and in front of it a fire was built this fire was kept burning all the time it warmed the interior of the camp a big iron kettle was hung over it by means of a chain and pole and in this kettle the fat bacon the venison the beans and the corn were boiled for the family's dinner and supper in the hot ashes the good mother baked luscious corn dodgers and sometimes perhaps a few potatoes in one end of the camp were the few cooking utensils and little articles of furniture which even the poorest house cannot do without the rest of the space was the family sitting room and bedroom the floor was covered with leaves and on these were spread the furry skins of deer and bears and other animals it was in this camp that the family spent their first winter in indiana how very cold and dreary that winter must have been think of the stormy nights of the shrieking wind of the snow and the sleet and the bitter frost it is not much wonder if before the spring months came the mother's strength began to fail but it was a busy winter for thomas lincoln every day his axe was heard in the woods he was clearing the ground so that in the spring it might be planted with corn and vegetables he was hewing logs for his new house for he had made up his mind now to have something better than a cabin the woods were full of wild animals it was easy for abraham and his father to kill plenty of game and thus keep the family supplied with fresh meat and abraham with chopping and hewing and hunting and trapping was very busy for a little boy he had but little time to play and since he had no playmates we cannot know whether he even wanted to play with his mother he read over and over the bible stories which both of them loved so well and during the cold stormy days when he could not leave the camp his mother taught him how to write in the spring the new house was raised it was only a huge log house with one room below and a loft above but it was so much better than the old cabin in kentucky that it seemed like a palace the family had become so tired of living in the camp that they moved into the new house before the floor was laid or any door hung at the doorway then came the plowing and the planting and the hoeing everybody was busy from daylight to dark there were so many trees and stumps that there was but little room for the corn to grow the summer passed and autumn came then the poor mother's strength gave out she could no longer go about her household duties she had to depend more and more upon the help that her children could give her at length she became too feeble to leave her bed she called her boy to her side she put her arms about him and said abraham i am going away from you and you will never see me again i know that you will always be good and kind to your sister and father try to live as i have taught you and love your heavenly father on the 5th of october she fell asleep never to wake again under a big sycamore tree half a mile from the house the neighbors dug the grave for the mother of abraham lincoln and there they buried her in silence and great sorrow there was no minister there to conduct religious services in all that new country there was no church and no holy man could be found to speak words of comfort and hope to the grieving ones around the grave but the boy abraham remembered a traveling preacher whom they had known in kentucky the name of this preacher was david elkin if he would only come and so after all was over the lad sat down and wrote a letter to david elkin he was only a child nine years old but he believed that the good man would remember his poor mother and come it was no easy task to write a letter paper and ink were not things of common use as they are with us a pen had to be made from the quill of a goose but at last the letter was finished and sent away how it was carried i do not know for the males were few and far between in those days and postage was very high it is more than likely that some friend who was going into kentucky undertook to have it finally handed to the good preacher months passed the leaves were again on the trees the wildflowers were blossoming in the woods at last the preacher came he had ridden a hundred miles on horseback he had forded rivers and traveled through pathless woods he had dared the dangers of the wild forest all in answer to the lad's beseeching letter he had no hope of reward save that which is given to every man who does his duty he did not know that there would come a time when the greatest preachers in the world would envy him his sad task and now the friends and neighbors gathered again under the great sycamore tree the funeral sermon was preached hymns were sung a prayer was offered words of comfort and sympathy were spoken from that time forward the mind of abraham lincoln was filled with a high and noble purpose in his earliest childhood his mother had taught him to love truth and justice to be honest and upright among men and to reverence god these lessons he never forgot long afterward when the world had come to know him as a very great man he said all that i am or hope to be i owe to my angel mother end of section 47

the log house which abraham lincoln called his home was now more lonely and cheerless than before the sunlight of his mother's presence had gone out of it forever his sister sarah 12 years old was the housekeeper and cook his father had not yet found time to lay a floor in the house or to hang a door there were great crevices between the logs through which the wind and the rain drifted on every stormy day there was not much comfort in such a house but the lad was never idle in the long winter days when there was no work to be done he spent the time in reading or in trying to improve his writing there were very few books in the cabins of that backwoods settlement but if abraham lincoln heard of one he could not rest until he had borrowed it and read it another summer passed and then another winter then one day mr lincoln went on a visit to kentucky leaving his two children and their cousin dennis hanks at home to care for the house and the farm i do not know how long he stayed away but it could not have been many weeks one evening the children were surprised to see a four horse wagon draw up before the door their father was in the wagon and by his side was a kind-faced woman and sitting on the straw at the bottom of the wagon bed there were three well-dressed children two girls and a boy and there were some grand things in the wagon too there were six split bottom chairs a bureau with drawers a wooden chest and a feather bed all these things were very wonderful to the lad and lassie who had never known the use of such luxuries abraham and sarah said mr lincoln as he leapt from the wagon i have brought you a new mother and a new brother and two new sisters the new mother greeted them very kindly and no doubt looked with gentle pity upon them they were barefooted their scant clothing was little more than rags and tatters they did not look much like her own happy children whom she had cared for so well and now it was not long until a great change was made in the lincoln home a floor was laid a door was hung a window was made the crevices between the logs were dobbed with clay the house was furnished in fine style with the chairs and the bureau and the featherbed the kind new mother brought sunshine and hope into the place that had once been so cheerless with the young lad dennis hanks there were now six children in the family but all were treated with the same kindness all had the same motherly care and so in the midst of much hard work there were many pleasant days for them all end of section 48 read by sabella denton for more

the people of the neighborhood made up their minds that they must have a schoolhouse and so one day after harvest the men met together and chopped down trees and built a little low roofed log cabin to serve for that purpose if you could see that cabin you would think it a queer kind of schoolhouse there was no floor there was only one window and in it were strips of greased paper pasted across instead of glass there were no desks but only rough benches made of logs split in halves in one end of the room was a huge fireplace at the other end was the low doorway the first teacher was a man whose name was azel dorsey the term of school was very short for the settlers could not afford to pay him much it was in mid-winter for then there was no work for the big boys to do at home and the big boys as well as the girls and smaller boys for miles around came in to learn what they could from azel dorsey the most of the children studied only spelling but some of the larger ones learned reading and writing and arithmetic there were not very many scholars for the houses in that new settlement were few and far apart school began at an early hour in the morning and did not close until the sun was down just how abraham lincoln stood in his classes i do not know but i must believe that he studied hard and did everything as well as he could in the arithmetic which he used he wrote these lines abraham lincoln his hand and pen he will be good but god knows when in a few weeks asl dorsey's school came to a close and abraham lincoln was again as busy as ever about his father's farm after that he attended school only two or three short terms if all his school days were put together they would not make a 12 month but he kept on reading and studying at home his stepmother said of him he read everything he could lay his hands on when he came across the passage that struck him he would write it down on boards if he had no paper and keep it until he had got paper then he would copy it look at it commit it to memory and repeat it among the books that he read were the bible the pilgrim's progress and the poems of robert burns one day he walked a long distance to borrow a book of a farmer this book was weems's life of washington he read as much as he could while walking home by that time it was dark and so he sat down by the chimney and read by firelight until bedtime then he took the book to bed with him in the loft and read by the light of a tallow candle in an hour the candle burned out he laid the book in a crevice between two of the logs of the cabin so that he might begin reading as soon as it was daylight but in the night a storm came up the rain was blown in and the book was wet through and through in the morning when abraham awoke he saw what had happened he dried the leaves as well as he could and then finished reading the book as soon as he had eaten his breakfast he hurried to carry the book to its owner he explained how the accident had happened mr crawford he said i am willing to pay you for the book i have no money but if you will let me i will work for you until i have made its price mr crawford thought that the book was worth 75 cents and that abraham's work would be worth about 25 cents a day and so the lad helped the farmer gather corn for three days and thus became the owner of the delightful book he read the story of washington many times over he carried the book with him to the field and read it while he was following the plow from that time washington was the one great hero whom he admired why could he not model

thought that he did not need to learn anything more he did not see that there was any good in book learning if a man could read and write in cypher what more was needed but the good stepmother thought differently and when another short term of school began in the little log schoolhouse all six of the children from the lincoln cabin were among the scholars in a few weeks however the school had closed and the three boys were again hard at work chopping and grubbing in mr lincoln's clearings they were good-natured jolly young fellows and they lightened their labor with many a joke and playful prank many were the drawl stories with which abraham amused his companions many were the puzzling questions that he asked sometimes in the evening with the other five children around him he would claim some peace that he had learned or he would deliver a speech of his own on some subject of common interest if you could see him as he then appeared you would hardly think that such a boy would ever become one of the most famous men of history on his head he wore a cap made from the spoon of a squirrel or a raccoon instead of trousers of cloth he wore buckskin breeches the legs of which were many inches too short his shirt was of dear skin in the winter and of home spun tau in the summer stockings he had none his shoes were of heavy cowhide and were worn only on sundays or in very cold weather the family lived in such a way as to need very little money their bread was made of cornmeal their meat was chiefly the flesh of wild game found in the forest pewter plates and wooden trenchers were used on the table the tea and coffee cups were painted tin there was no stove and all the cooking was done on the hearth of the big fireplace but poverty was no hindrance to abraham lincoln he kept on with his reading and his studies as best he could sometimes he would even go into the little village of gentryville nearby to spend an evening he would tell so many jokes and so many funny stories that all the people would gather around him to listen when he was 16 years old he went one day to boonville 15 miles away to attend a trial in court he had never been in court before he listened with great attention to all that was said when the lawyer for the defense made his speech the youth was so full of delight that he could not contain himself he arose from his seat walked across the courtroom and shook hands with the lawyer that was the best speech i ever heard he said he was tall and very slim he was dressed in a jeans coat and buckskin trousers his feet were bare it must have been a strange sight to see him thus complimenting an old and practiced lawyer from that time one ambition seemed to fill his mind he wanted to be a lawyer and make great speeches in court he walked 12 miles barefooted to borrow a copy of the laws of indiana day and night he read and studied someday i shall be president of the united states he said to some of his young friends and

boat and would carry only three or four people at a time this man wanted to employ someone to take care of his boat and to ferry people across the river thomas lincoln was in need of money so he arranged with his friend for abraham to do this work the wages of the young man were to be two dollars and fifty cents a week but all the money was to be his father's one day two strangers came to the landing they wanted to take passage on a steamboat that was coming down the river the fairy boy signaled to the steamboat and it stopped in midstream then the boy rode out with the two passengers and they were taken on board just as he was turning towards the shore again each of the strangers tossed a half dollar into his boat he picked the silver up and looked at it ah how rich he felt he had never had so much money at one time and he had gotten all for a few minutes later when winter came on there were fewer people who wanted to cross the river so at last the ferry boat was tied up and abraham lincoln went back to his father's home he was now 19 years old he was very tall nearly six feet four inches in height he was as strong as a young giant he could jump higher and farther and he could run faster than any of his fellows and there was no one far or near who could lay him on his back although he had always lived in a community of rude rough people he had no bad habits he used no tobacco he did not drink strong liquor no profane word ever passed his lips he was good-natured at all times and kind to everyone during that winter mr gentry the storekeeper in the village had bought a good deal of corn and pork he intended in the spring to load this on a flat boat and send it down the river to new orleans in looking about for a captain to take charge of the boat he happened to think of abraham lincoln he knew that he could trust the young man and so a bargain was made abraham agreed to pilot the boat to new orleans and to market the produce there and mr gentry was to pay his father eight dollars and a half a month for his services as soon as the ice had well melted from the river the voyage was begun besides captain lincoln there was only one man in the crew and that was the son of mr gentry's the voyage was a long and weary one but at last the two boatmen reached the great southern city here they saw many strange things of which they had never heard before but they soon sold their cargo and boat and then returned home on a steamboat to abraham lincoln the world was now very different from what it had seemed before he longed to be away from the narrow life in the woods of spencer county he longed to be doing something for himself to be making for himself a fortune and a name but then he remembered his mother's teachings when he sat on her knee in the old kentucky home always do right he remembered her last words i know you will be kind to your father and so he resolved to stay with his father to work for him and to give him all his earnings until

drawn by four yoke of oxen the kind stepmother and her daughters rode also in the wagon abraham lincoln with a long whip in his hand trudged through the mud by the side of the road and guided the oxen who that saw him thus going into illinois would have dreamed that he would in time become that state's greatest citizen the journey was a long and hard one but in two weeks they reached decatur where they had decided to make their new home abraham lincoln was now over 21 years old he was his own man but he stayed with his father that spring he helped him fence his land he helped him plant his corn but his father had no money to give him the young man's clothing was all worn out and he had nothing with which to buy anymore what should he do three miles from his father's cabin there lived a thrifty woman whose name was nancy miller mrs miller owned a flock of sheep and in her house there were a spinning wheel and a loom that were always busy and so you must know that she wove a great deal of jeans and homemade cloth abraham lincoln bargained with this woman to make him a pair of trousers he agreed that for each yard of cloth required he would split her 400 rails he had to split 1400 rails in all but he worked so fast that he had finished them before the trousers were ready the next april saw young lincoln piloting another flat boat down the mississippi to new orleans his companion this time was his mother's relative john hanks this time he stayed longer in new orleans and he saw some things which he had barely noticed on his first trip he saw gangs of slaves being driven through the streets he visited the slave market and saw women and girls sold to the highest bidder like so many cattle the young man who would not be unkind to any living being was shocked by these sides his heart bled he was mad thoughtful sad and depressed he said to john hanks if i ever get a chance to hit that institution i'll hit it hard john he came back from new orleans in july mr offit the owner of the flat boat which he had taken down then employed him to act as a clerk in a country store which he had at new salem new salem was a little town not far from springfield young lincoln was a good salesman and all the customers liked him mr offit declared that the young man knew more than anyone else in the united states and that he could outrun and out wrestle any man in the

the sac indians had lately sold their lands in northern illinois to the united states they had then moved across the mississippi river to other lands that had been set apart for them but they did not like their new home at last they made up their minds to go back to their former hunting grounds they were led by a chief whose name was black hawk and they began by killing the white settlers and burning their houses and crops this was in the spring of 1832 the whole state of illinois was an alarm the governor called for volunteers to help the united states soldiers drive the indians back abraham lincoln enlisted his company elected him captain he did not know anything about military tactics he did not know how to give orders to his men but he did the best that he could and learned a great deal by experience his company marched northward in westward until they came to the mississippi river but they did not meet any indians and so there was no fighting the young men under captain lincoln were rude fellows from the prairies in backwoods they were rough in their manners and hard to control but they had very high respect for their captain perhaps this was because of his great strength and his skill in wrestling for he could put the roughest and strongest of them on their backs perhaps it was because he was good-natured and kind and at the same time very firm and decisive in a few weeks the time for which the company had enlisted came to an end the young men were tired of being soldiers and so all except captain lincoln and one man were glad to hurry home but captain lincoln never gave up anything half done he enlisted again this time he was a private in a company of mounted rangers the main camp of the volunteers and soldiers was on the banks of the rock river in northern illinois here one day abraham lincoln saw a young lieutenant of the united states army whose name was jefferson davis it is not likely that the fine young officer noticed the rough clad ranger but they were to know more of each other at a future time three weeks after that the war was at an end the indians had been beaten in a battle and blackhawk had been taken prisoner but abraham lincoln had not been in any fight he had not seen any indians except peaceable ones in june his company was mustered out and he returned home to new salem he was then 23 years old end of section 53

candidate it was at papsville 12 miles from springfield that he made his first campaign speech he said gentlemen and fellow citizens i presume you all know who i am i am humble abraham lincoln i have been solicited by my friends to become a candidate for the legislature my politics are short and sweet i'm in favor of a national bank i am in favor of the internal improvement system and a high protective tariff these are my sentiments and political principles if elected i shall be thankful if not it will be all the same he was a tall gawky rough looking fellow he was dressed in a coarse suit of homespun much the worse for wear a few days after that he made a longer and better speech at springfield but he was not elected about this time a worthless fellow whose name was barry persuaded mr lincoln to help him buy a store in new salem mr lincoln had no money but he gave his notes for the value of half the goods the venture was not a profitable one in a few months the store was sold but abraham did not receive a dollar for it it was six years before he was able to pay off the notes which he had given during all this time mr lincoln did not give up the idea of being a lawyer he bought a second-hand copy of blackstone's commentaries at auction he studied it so diligently that in a few weeks he had mastered the whole of it he bought an old form book and began to drop contracts deeds and all kinds of legal papers he would often walk to springfield 14 miles away to borrow a book and he would master thirty or 40 pages of it while returning home soon he began to practice in a small way before justices of the peace and country juries he was appointed postmaster at new salem but so little mail came to the place that the office was soon discontinued he was nearly 25 years old but with all his industry he could hardly earn money enough to pay for his board and clothing he had learned a little about surveying while living in indiana he now took up the study again and was soon appointed deputy surveyor of sangamon county he was very skillful as a surveyor although his chain was only a grapevine he was very accurate and never made mistakes the next year he was again a candidate for the legislature this time the people were ready to vote for him and he was elected it was no small thing for so young a man to be chosen to help make the laws of his state no man ever had fewer advantages than abraham lincoln as a boy he was the poorest of the poor no rich friend held out a helping hand but see what he had already accomplished by pluck perseverance and honesty he had not had access to many books but he knew books better than most men of his age he knew the bible by heart he was familiar with shakespeare he could repeat nearly all the poems of burns he knew much about physics and mechanics he had mastered the elements of law he was very awkward and far from handsome but he was so modest so unselfish and kind that everyone who knew him liked him he was a true gentleman a gentleman at heart if not in outside polish and so as i have already said abraham lincoln at the age of 25 was elected to the state legislature he served the people so well that when his term closed two years later they sent him back for another term the capital of illinois had up to this time been at vandalia mr lincoln and his friends now succeeded in having a law pass to remove it to springfield springfield was nearer to the center of the state it was more convenient to everybody and had other advantages which vandalia did not have the people of springfield were so delighted that they urged mr lincoln to come there and practice law an older lawyer whose name was john t stewart and who had a good practice offered to take him in partnership with him and so in 1837 abraham lincoln left new salem and removed to springfield he did not have much to move all the goods that he had in the world were a few clothes which he carried in a pair of saddlebags and two or three law books he had no money and he rode into springfield on a borrowed horse he was then 28 years old from that time on springfield was his home end of section 54 read by

could devote all the rest of his time to the practice of law there were many able lawyers in illinois but abe lincoln of springfield soon made himself known among the best of them in 1840 he was again elected to the legislature this was the year in which general william h harrison was elected president of the united states general harrison was a whig and mr lincoln's name was on the whig ticket as a candidate for presidential elector in his state the presidential campaign was one of the most exciting that had ever been known it was called the log cabin campaign because general harrison had lived in a log cabin and his opponents had sneered at his poverty in the east as well as in the west the excitement was very great in every city and town and village wherever there was a political meeting a log cabin was seen on one side of the load door hung a long-handled gourd on the other side a skin was nailed to the logs the blue smoke curled up from the top of the stick and clay chimney you may believe that abraham lincoln went into this campaign with all his heart he traveled over a part of the state making stump speeches for his party one of his ablest opponents was a young lawyer not quite his own age whose name was stephen a douglas in many places during this campaign lincoln and douglas met in public debate upon the questions of the day and both of them were so shrewd so well informed and so eloquent that those who heard them were unable to decide which was the greater of the two general harrison was elected but not through the help of mr lincoln for the vote of illinois that year was for the democratic candidate in 1842 when he was 33 years old mr lincoln was married to miss mary todd a young lady from kentucky who had lately come to springfield on a visit for some time after their marriage mr and mrs lincoln lived in a hotel called the globe tavern paying four dollars a week for rooms and board but in 1844 mr lincoln bought a small but comfortable frame house and in this they lived until they went to the white house 17 years later although he had been successful as a young lawyer mr lincoln was still a poor man but mrs lincoln said i would rather have a good man a man of mind with bright prospects for success and power and fame then marry one with all the horses and houses and gold in the world end of section 55 read by sabella denton

lincoln was again elected to the legislature in the following year the people of his district chose him to be their representative in congress he took his seat in december he was then 39 years old he was the only wig from illinois there were many famous men in congress at that time mr lincoln's lifelong rival stephen a douglas was one of the senators from illinois he had already served a term or two in the house of representatives daniel webster was also in the senate and so was john c calhoun and so was jefferson davis mr lincoln took an active interest in all the subjects that came before congress he made many speeches but perhaps the most important thing that he did at this time was to propose a bill for the abolition of the slave trade in the city of washington he believed that slavery was unjust to the slave and harmful to the nation he wanted to do what he could to keep it from becoming a still greater evil but the bill was opposed so strongly that it was not even voted upon after the close of mr lincoln's term in congress he hoped that president taylor who was a wig might appoint him to a good office but in this he was disappointed and so in 1849 he returned to his home in springfield and again settled down to the practice of law he was then 40 years old considering the poverty of his youth he had done great things for himself but he had not done much for his country outside of his own state his name was still unknown his life for the next few years was like that of any other successful lawyer in the newly settled west he had a large practice but his fees were very small his income from his profession was seldom more than two thousand dollars a year his habits were very simple he lived comfortably and respectably in his modest little home there was an air of order and refinement but no show of luxury no matter where he might go mr lincoln would have been known as a western man he was six foot four inches in height his face was very homely but very kind he was cordial and friendly in his manners there was something about him which made everybody feel that he was a sincere truthful upright man he was known among his neighbors as honest abe

public domain the question of slavery the great subject before the country at this time was slavery it had been the cause of trouble for many years in the early settlement of the american colonies slavery had been introduced through the influence of the english government the first slaves have been brought to virginia nearly 240 years before the time of which i'm telling you many people saw from the beginning that it was an evil which would at some distant day bring disaster upon the country in 1782 the people of virginia petitioned the king of england to put a stop to the bringing of slaves from africa into that colony but the petition was rejected and the king forbade them to speak of the matter anymore washington jefferson and other founders of our nation looked upon slavery as an evil they hoped that the time might come when it would be done away with for they knew that the country would prosper better without it at the time of the revolution slavery was permitted in all the states but it was gradually abolished first in pennsylvania and then in the new england states and afterwards in new york in 1787 a law was passed by congress declaring that there should be no slavery in the territory northwest of the river ohio this was the territory from which the states of ohio indiana illinois michigan and wisconsin were formed and so of course these states were free states from the beginning the great industry of the south was cotton raising the people of the southern states claimed that slavery was necessary because only negro slaves could do the work required on the big cotton plantations kentucky tennessee alabama mississippi and louisiana were admitted one by one into the union and all were slave states in 1821 missouri applied for admission to the union the south wanted slavery in this state also but the north objected there were many hot debates in congress over this question at last through the influence of henry clay the dispute was settled by what has since been known as the missouri compromise the missouri compromise provided that missouri should be a slave state this was to satisfy the south on the other hand it declared that all the western territory north of the line which formed the southern boundary of missouri should forever be free this was to appease the north but the cotton planters of the south grew more wealthy by the labor of their slaves more territory was needed for the extension of slavery texas joined the united states and became a slave state then followed a war with mexico and california new mexico and utah were taken from that country should slavery be allowed in these new territories also at this time a new political party was formed it was called the free soil party and the principle for which it contended was this no more slave states and no slave territory this party was not very strong at first but soon large numbers of whigs and many northern democrats who did not believe in the extension of slavery began to join it although the whig party refused to take any position against the extension of slavery there were many anti-slavery whigs who still remained with it and voted with the whig ticket and one of these men was abraham lincoln the contest between freedom and slavery became more fierce every day at last another compromise was proposed by henry clay this compromise provided that california should be admitted as a free state that slavery should not be prohibited in new mexico and utah that there should be no more markets for slaves in the district of columbia and that a new and very strict fugitive slave law should be passed this compromise is called the compromise of 1850 it was in support of these measures that daniel webster made his last great speech it was hoped by webster and clay that the compromise of 1850 would put an end to the agitation about slavery now we shall have peace they said but the agitation became stronger and stronger and peace seemed farther away than ever before in 1854 a bill was passed by congress to organize the territories of kansas and nebraska this bill provided that the missouri compromise should be repealed and that the question of slavery in these territories should be decided by the people living in them the bill was passed through the influence of stephen a douglas of illinois there was now no bar to the extension of slavery into any of the territories save that of public opinion the excitement all over the north was very great in kansas there was actual war between those who favored slavery and those who opposed it thinking men in all parts of the country saw that a great crisis was at hand end of section 57 read by sabella denton for more information please visit librivox.org section 58 lincoln chapter 13 of four great americans by james baldwin read for librivox.org into the public domain lincoln and douglas it was then that abraham lincoln came forward as the champion of freedom stephen a douglas was a candidate for reelection to the senate and he found it necessary to defend himself before the people of his state for the part he had taken in repealing the missouri compromise he went from one city to another making speeches and at each place abraham lincoln met him in joint debate i do not care whether slavery is voted into or out of the territory said mr douglas the question of slavery is one of climate wherever it is to the interest of the inhabitants of a territory to have slave property there a slave law will be enacted but mr lincoln replied the men who signed the declaration of independence said that all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights life liberty and the pursuit of happiness i beseech you do not destroy that immortal emblem of humanity the declaration of independence at last mr douglas felt that he was beaten he proposed that both should go home and that there should be no more joint discussions mr lincoln agreed to this but the words which he had spoken sank deep into the hearts of those who had heard them the speeches of lincoln and douglas were printed in a book people in all parts of the country read them they had heard much about stephen a douglas he was called the little giant he had long been famous among the politicians of the country it was believed that he would be the next president of the united states but who was this man lincoln who had so bravely vanquished the little giant he was called honest abe there were few people outside his state who had ever heard of him before mr douglas returned to his seat in the united states senate mr lincoln became the acknowledged leader of the forces opposed to the extension of slavery in may 1856 a convention of the people of illinois was held in bloomington illinois it met for the purpose of forming a new political party the chief object and aim of which should be to oppose the extension of slavery into the territories mr lincoln made a speech to the members of this convention it was one of the greatest speeches ever heard in this country again and again during the delivery the audience sprang to their feet and by long continued cheers expressed how deeply the speaker had roused them and so the new party was organized it was composed of the men who had formed the old free soil party together with such whigs and democrats as were opposed to the further growth of the slave power but the greater number of its members were whigs this party was called the republican party in june the republican party held a national convention at philadelphia and nominated john c fremont for president but the party was not strong enough to carry the election that year in that same month the democrats held a convention at cincinnati every effort was made to nominate stephen a douglas for president but he was beaten in his own party on account of the action which he had taken in the repeal of the missouri compromise james buchanan was nominated in his stead and in november was elected and so the conflict went on in the year 1858 there was another series of joint debates between lincoln and douglas both were candidates for the united states senate their speeches were among the most remarkable ever delivered in any country lincoln spoke for liberty and justice douglas's speeches were full of fire and patriotism he hoped to be elected president in 1860 in the end it was generally acknowledged that lincoln had made the best arguments but douglas was re-elected to the senate end of section 58 read by

united states in 1860 there were four candidates for the presidency the great democratic party was divided into two branches one branch nominated stephen a douglas the other branch which included the larger number of the slave owners of the south nominated john c breckenridge of kentucky the remnant of the old whig party now called the union party nominated john bell of tennessee the republican party nominated abraham lincoln in november came the election and a majority of all the electors chosen were for lincoln the people of the cotton growing states believed that by this election the northern people intended to deprive them of their rights they believed that the anti-slavery people intended to do much more than prevent the extension of slavery they believed that the abolitionists were bent upon passing laws to deprive them of their slaves wild rumors were circulated concerning the designs which the black republicans as they were called had formed for their coercion and oppression they declared that they would never submit and so in december the people of south carolina met in convention and declared that state had succeeded from the union that they would no longer be citizens of the united states one by one six other states followed and they united to form a new government called the confederate states of america it had long been held by the men of the south that the state had a right to withdraw from the union at any time this was called the doctrine of states rights the confederate states at once chose jefferson davis for their president and declared themselves free and independent in february mr lincoln went to washington to be inaugurated his enemies openly boasted that he should never reach that city alive and a plot was formed to kill him on his passage through baltimore but he took an earlier train than the one appointed and arrived at the capital in safety on the 4th of march he was inaugurated in his address at that time he said in your hands my dissatisfied countrymen and not in mine is the momentous issue of civil war your government will not assail you you can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors you have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the government while i shall have the most solemn one to protect and defend it the confederate states demanded that the government should give up all the forts arsenals and public property within their limits this president lincoln refused to do he said that he could not admit that these states had withdrawn from the union or that they could withdraw without the consent of the people of the united states given in a national convention and so in april the confederate guns were turned upon fort sumter in charleston harbor and the war was begun president lincoln issued a call for 75 000 men to serve in the army for three months and both parties prepared for the great contest it is not my purpose to give a history of that terrible war of four years the question of slavery was now a secondary one the men of one party were determined at whatever hazard to preserve the union the men of the other party fought to defend their doctrine of states rights and to set up an independent government of their own president lincoln was urged to use his power and declare all the slaves free he answered my paramount object is to save the union and not either to save or destroy slavery if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that at last however when he saw that the success of the union arms depended upon his freeing the slaves he decided to do so on the first of january 1863 he issued a proclamation declaring that the slaves in all the states or parts of states then in rebellion should be free by this proclamation more than three millions of colored people were given their freedom but the war still went on it reached a turning point however at the battle of gettysburg in july that same year from that time the cause of the confederate states was on the wand little by little the

war was still going on but the union arms were now everywhere victorious his second inaugural address was very short he did not boast of any of his achievements he did not rejoice over the defeat of his enemies but he said with malice toward none with charity for all with firmness in the right as god gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds to care for him who shall aborn the battle and for his widow and his orphan to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations five weeks after that on the ninth of april 1865 the confederate army surrendered and the war was at an end abraham lincoln's work was done the 14th of april was good friday on the evening of that day mr lincoln with mrs lincoln and two or three friends visited ford's theater in washington at a few minutes past 10 o'clock an actor whose name was john wilkes booth came into the box where mr lincoln sat no one saw him enter he pointed a pistol at the president's head and fired he leaped down upon the stage shouting six semper tyranus the south is avenged then he ran behind the scenes and out by the stage door the president fell forward his eyes closed he neither saw nor heard nor felt anything that was taking place kind arms carried him to a private house not far away at twenty minutes past seven

don't know why I have to name it Oh have you guys been you guys are tracking with what's happening all over the land the these days because it really really has been crazy crazy time so the beauty of what's happening right now is that I should be live-streaming to Facebook somebody check on Facebook see if I'm live-streaming to Facebook actually you know only if you're in the under graph you underground the 7 mm secret group you can tell me if we're there I'll show you what I'm doing you guys can help me you're like so patient with me but like I'm in my studio right like I've got all my this is like my professional studio stuff and I'm trying to livestream I'm not I'd not use a computer yet I've just used my little iPhone camera so this is gonna be kind of new let's see how it works and nothing else I got you babe and you dope it out with me babe my things already sound funny other than I've done another Sherlock accent okay so so tell me are we on can you get anybody to go to the Facebook it says I'm live hi oh I probably am I probably am because I see myself in the corner of my screen here although the aspect ratio is kind of weird kind of like makes me look kind of like I have a gigantic you know WC Fields nose hello well anyway let's take off right now Lord we ask you get a blessed this broadcasting Jesus thinks we've got spiritual warfare we're going to be talking about and I'm talking about some crazy stuff going on right now let me read you something that Lou Engel wrote then I tides right into what Donald Trump's going through hi honey and and what's happening in America right now so here's what Lou Engel said so he wrote said there are moments in history when a door for massive change opens and great revolutions either good or bad spring up in the back gym created by those those open things in such divine moments key men women and entire generations risk everything to become the hinge of history the pivot point that determines which way the door is going to swing with me so far on that and three years ago Lou says that he was that a leaders summit in Fredericksburg Virginia our meeting was sovereignly hijacked as the Lord shifted our focus towards the hidden tap root of strength in the godly women of America we began to envision something of a million women gathering on the mall in Washington DC similar to Promise Keepers and that would be a glass stand break through the whole darkness back in America that was three years ago those hours of corporate intercession were as strong and it's clear as any prophetic moment I have ever encountered in 30 plus years of prayer but at the time we could not see how it could be brought to pass so in other words they prayed for this woman's gathering this National statement of godliness virtue like an ester gathering but you know it didn't come to pass you know frankly and I think I'll be honest with you I think sometimes we put too much I mean it's good to have those moments of corporately gathering whether that's Azusa Street or the National Mall but I have a deep suspicion that Christians are always looking for some sensational shortcut event is going to like supernaturally Mount Carmel the devil out of it MSNBC studios or something when in fact the only way that you could possibly win the battle is the same way he lost the battle a sustained pattern a perpetual public persuasion that gradually reoccupied the conscience and the culture of a community by the superiority of truth over error and the results that righteousness gets that the devil can never get with his liberal craziness so anyway so he says that what happened was they they they gathered but they couldn't bring it to pass but Habakkuk statement seemed like a counsel to them though the vision Terry wait for it for it will surely come though the vision tarry now the moment arrived this is what got my attention here January 21st 2017 the day after the inauguration of President Donald J Trump I was there 24 hours after they had burned all limo down and we watched hundreds of thousands of women take to the streets with their lovely pink hats on their head purported the reportedly aiming to empower women a vacuum had been created by this election by historic woman's and justices and it seemed that a false heiress rushed in and was seeking now to become the hinge of history framing the narrative of a future America that does not acknowledge God's exalted view of women and his biblical design for her Glory's purpose on the earth in other words what Lou is saying is that that while women's event with all that vulgarity and insanity was a vacuum filled by a counterfeit woman's movement and instinctively we had a corporate but knowing it was the time for the true empowered women to stand up for the mink drank filled humilities the definition of meek shall inherit the earth hundreds of thousands of women marched watch that March and heard the betrayal and could not identify with the radical ideologies being expressed that would not ignore God or even his word or his ways in the public controversy this new woman declared deep inside our heart this is not my revolution many of you I know this for a fact more than where they are at the mall the more that were there and they in the capital many of you were saying this is not my revolution they're not expressing my values this isn't what my daughter thinking about men it's time for this corporate espionage and taking up our god-given role a persistent public persuasion well I'm glad to see that Lowe is borrowing one of my sentences there because that that term a pattern of persistent public persuasion is from Wilberforce and that is the line that opened my eyes because that's why I say you can't just have a Mount Carmel moment you have to have a perpetual occupation of the mind with the arguments of the Spirit and that are delivered in secular language kaboom so that the conscience is pierced and the needle is moved in the thinking of a generation that's what civil rights did the civil rights movement was was a an ugly but necessary and righteous outcome you know a historic prophetic move to liberate the black community from the unfinished work of the of Lincoln in the Civil War but you see what happens is that spirit can be also used by people that attach their grievances to the Civil Rights name and the next thing now every weird thing that somebody wants to make themself a victim over they claim as a civil right so you know and that's that's what's happened in America so anyway so the women's march was the first bough a shot across the bow heralding a revolutionary rise against the President of the United States We the People and in reality the foundations of biblical truths upon which our nation was founded soon after that first shop which I would say is a one-two punch the crazy-looking people in the black hooded ninjas that were torching limos and and destroying property followed by the pink hat brigade and then we soon after that had a second shot manifested an unprecedented summons globally of witches to curse the president his cabin and all those aligned with the biblical worldview in other words global curses were released on the United States and on the president and I'm gonna tell you something those curses weren't undone by one little Facebook broadcast we did we're gonna have to really go to work I'm gonna tell you what we're going to do about this so this unprecedented global summons of a cultic cursing on President Trump but his cabinet suddenly the whole controversy was elevated elevated to a global spiritual dimension inaugurating a spiritual battle that cannot be won on the playing field of protests and political arguments only the church is the power to answer this unprecedented amount of the station of witchcraft spiritual strategy must be used to overcome this open faced brazen challenge of the powers so according to Derek Prince I want you now I want you to really hear this because this this is really like so so important let me see if I can get my cameras working here that we are right now in the historic time of the feasts of Israel the feast of Purim is upon us now the feast of Purim refers to the time when Esther rose up is it interesting we're talking about women and the need for godly women to arise and the feast of Purim because Esther herself got caught in this struggle but let me read what Lou says because this month is the feast of Purim is next week it's a spiritually significant time in Israel and it's an interesting thing that it's happening now at the time of spiritual warfare in the United States where we can do something about it so let's watch this according to Derek Prince Haman the adversary in the book of Esther was practicing divination a cultic practice through casting Lots and was clearly aligning himself with demonic principalities in order to destroy the Jewish population and so per the word means casting the lot because he cast a lot to find the ideal perfect days for the annihilation of the Jews Esther had a three-day fast that broke the spiritual power that was channeled by Haman's witchcraft it effectively reversed the curse and shifted the whole public policy of the Persian Empire towards the Jewish people I cannot stress this enough Lew says we are in a similar day and a cataclysmic battle for the soul of our nation we cannot live the same way we lived yesterday recently two women contacted me and asked me to use my influence to call for a three day after fasts to answer this challenge immediately after I experienced a life-changing dream where I saw a nationwide Esther movement arising that alone could break a major spiritual power of death I knew then that I was to take my place as a Mordecai and call not only Esther and her hand mates but the whole nation to fast and pray for three days leading up to Purim the Jewish holiday perm celebrates God's deliverance of the Jews through Esther's fasting sacrifice and courage and here's the thing catch this ready for this breaking news the feast of Purim starts this Wednesday March 8th this week and it ends Saturday March 11th in order to counter this witchcraft and even this in the rising anti-semitism is an interesting that we're seeing the cemeteries of Jews destroyed that this is anti-semitic uprising this another talk about what's happening with the president and media got to give you guys an insight here that Lou didn't cover but I'm gonna give it to you live right now but we need to pray for the president content for the uprising of an extra movement in America that will among many other things reverse the decree of 1973 roe v wade just as Haman's decree was reversed let the women and and arise as esters for such a time as this and take their place in the courts of heaven and in the public courts of man to shape history in this hour if your heart burns to mobilise this fast I'll get this message out to all your connections blow the trumpet in Zion we're going to call a fast and I agree with this fast Wednesday 8 through 11 because those witchcraft curses those global curses have been working I'm going to tell you now what the Spirit is that it's empowering it's working to empower a spirit called Leviathan Jezebel is the spirit that that you see manifest in so much of the gender and LGBT power but what works with him is through media and the there are seven heads there are multiple heads on the spirit of Leviathan now we know it's referred to for instance in job chapter 41 and 42 in Isaiah chapter 27 it's referred to in the south this is like a the Bible will talk about we wrestle not with flesh and blood but against world rulers or spiritual forces in the heavenlies and specifically in Psalm 74 verse 13 they the writer David is talking about how God he saw prophetically wounded the heads multiple of Leviathan this is a spirit you know when the Antichrist shows up in the book of Revelation he's it shows up to the personification of a dragon with seven heads so this kind of mythology is reflecting a spiritual reality now that word Leviathan Hebrew means to twist that tells you what the Spirit does and I believe this spirit is what works through media because what the business of media is is Isaiah chapter 27 verse one to do leviathans work which is the piercing serpent that is crooked and twists in other words this spirit will freeze you in in an article or an expose it'll pierce your credibility or reputation your mind and and your family and then it will wind you and destroy you and devour you that's the nature of what media can do to destroy people in a moment you talk to anyone who's ever been caught in the jaws of Leviathan and they'll show you how everything they do gets twisted to their destruction now now this is important you catch this because this is referring to a creature that would be in the Nile it's good the writer and job and in Isaiah says it's in the great waters and the water so you take the waters of the Nile the way the Spirit operates says it wants to be undetected you'll see its eyes come up and then it goes back down the Spirit is the spirit of strike that you'll see come into a conversation into a relationship that will suddenly take hold of words and twist them because what the spirit wants to do is to take any communication it can manipulate it distort it and then twist it to dismember people so it's and if you ever notice how like in the in national Geographics how the Spirit works is it'll grab hold of a larger animal and it will grab hold of a leg or a limb and then suddenly it spins it's called the death roll this is literally what the researchers call us with alligators and crocodiles it's its teeth are curved so that they're not designed to carve they're designed to pierce that's why it's called the piercing serpent because they pierce in order to get a hold on their victim so that they can hold it while they twist and roll their great weight a ton of weight over and over in order to snap the limb off and begin to devour by pieces now this is exactly what the news media is doing every day with donald trump and david had this battle and david had that battle because he says this is so fascinating to me in Psalm 56 verse 5 everything you know he says that done is that is my enemies are constantly thrusting at me they take my words and twist them all day long their thoughts against me are only set for evil everything I do they twist in other words everything they do is to twist my words you can read it Psalm 56 verse 5 so David when dealing with that political spirit of soul and his enemies they would manipulate everything he did in order to create an incident that would be what to dismember now what is what would bothers me most about Christians and it bothers me most about even conservatives and a lot of Republicans is the moment that Leviathan starts to hit on something whole bunch of cowardly and nervous people back up and try to agree with the Leviathan spirit so that they don't get misunderstood and they lead people out there to get to get destroyed and so what you'll see is you'll see people that'll start to back up because they're afraid of negative publicity they're afraid of it says cowardice it's a lack of courage to lack a backbone a lack of character and then people start calling on on investigations of Trump what they should be doing is investigating the leaks that have come in from the deep state which are the people have been left over by Obama in the five agencies of the federal government that are sabotaging the president with constant leaks going out to media and the feast of Purim here's what we're gonna do we're gonna pray God will break the Serpent's fangs in his mouth that we're going to pray this is there's the biblical prayer it's right out of there from Psalms we're gonna pray that there's going to be a reverse of the curse and that God eighth ninth tenth and eleventh is going to expose sources of information that have been sabotaging the integrity of the American process of gathering and protecting information and that there will be an exposure of what the enemy has done in order to reverse the narrative and that is coming out this March so that Trump is no longer having to defend himself when he's the victim and then Mike Pence this so annoyed you all read this in the news Mike Pence godly guy that he has the Associated Press AP put out his wife's private email so that she would be given a a deluge of destructive curses and death threats at her own private email and for two days the Vice President asked them to take the email address down and The Associated Press refused to do it that's the devil that's love that's evil and I'm telling you something there are in you yeah we're good we're going to pray we're gonna really go if you want to go for the heads of this thing because it's got multiple heads cs1 homes MSNBC latches then the New York Times comes over at another side once you bat that back New York Times boom here comes a mr. Cooper in CNN he was like multiple heads just coming down to twist twist twist twist twist so we're gonna pray that God's going to do something it's a spiritual warfare and it can be broken in ways we don't even understand but a cleansing of the heavens but we're gonna to raise up an army and citizen journalists today Andrew Breitbart did he started taking on big Hollywood big media big government and he was on its way to big academics big colleges which means big politics progresses invading these systems with their religion understand you're in a battle with a religion liberalism progressive liberalism is a multi-headed religion with seven heads it's got different heads it's got one narrative for your community one narrative for religion one narrative for education one narrative for government one narrative in media one narrative in Hollywood and one narrative or a big business the seven mountains have seven heads from Leviathan trying to twist communication in order to control the high places because I've said it from the beginning the battle for America isn't going to be fought at some remote distance at charismatic revival events it's going to be fought in the trenches with a Reformation and the wrecking ball Donald Trump is going to keep hitting things and shaking things loose so that the church can actually begin to have the courage to advance in every sphere we need to be able to adapt the truth to the realm that we're in here I could talk flat out the way I'm talking right now but if you're in journalism you can't just be talking like Pentecostals you got to talk the language and the literature of the Chaldean like daniel did but there is a spirit that can come upon you that is ten times stronger and ten times better than the Chaldeans that's what Daniel had Daniel Shadrach Meshach and Abednego they had that because they had a micro group that was in prayer a micro group it was debating the purpose and agenda of God the Bible says in Ephesians 2:20 - that God wants to form habitations for the occupation of his presence and you guys each you have a career a calling on your life need to have a group of three four or five that make up the small body that are the living stones and hosts the presence of God so that you can see your supernatural gifts begin to come alive in the direction of God take place that's why we're doing a dream trip coming up this what it's gonna be made so you got a lance wall now.com forward slash dream trip the things filling up best I want people that are radically devoted to breaking off demonic strongholds off their life and going in Full Tilt boogie into the call of God and doing it in order during this season when the windows open when the windows open this isn't open for us to sit back and try to you know actualize your potential and you know try to you know just simply make money your assignment right now is that you would press into the blueprint of heaven for your life this is the month specifically when crossing over is taking place in the body of Christ this month is the beginning of a 12 month calendar the of the Jewish calendar it literally is like the transition point of closing out one chapter beginning another and I'm really intent on us actually taking territory and I really feel like a pioneer a lot of times on my own because Christians are all in the spirit zone praying for America but we don't understand that the way that you transform the world is by occupying occupied till I come Jesus said don't be preoccupied with how to become a mystic be preoccupied with how to get an anointing and take territory expand your reach that's why we're going to do this dream trip in Maine lanced well now come forward slash dream trip will try to get that to you guys later do you know there are six corporations I said we got hit their heads there's six corporation I'm looking at Business Insider here and the date the data is not that at all 90% of media's pretty much under the control of six corporations they own the bulk of media and American and they and frankly those corporations are able to create a perpetual crisis narrative for the public that means that stuff that isn't even isn't even news have to be inflated to become big that's why BuzzFeed produces this incendiary lie about Donald Trump having hookers in his hotel room urinating on the bed that Barack Obama slept it it's the stupidest kind of filthy to bizarreness coming out of the laboratory of crazy liberals but it goes into the newspaper like unsubstantiated but this came in from Washington and then you know after that what else do you have you got you got bet you got this frenzy about trying to find evidence that Donald Trump is working with Vladimir Putin they can't find any so what do they do well you know losing Franks general Frank's made the mistake of not fully disclosing he had conversations up put him okay he's out oh boy wait a second sessions didn't fully completely accurately disclose the fact that well one conversation was of the ambassador with a group of people but there was another one in private so what he's got to recuse himself what are they trying to do they're twisting everything they can because their narrative on Russia failed they couldn't produce any evidence that Trump that they lost the election because Putin did a Vulcan you know Bolshevik mind meld with the breadbasket of America and calls people in Michigan to go like zombies out and pull the lever for a Donald Trump because somehow he got into the mantle of Neda into the I don't know what the heck their theory is how Russia did it they just want to blame somebody they don't want to take responsibility for the fact that a lot of people are freaked out by what these knuckleheads are coming up with over the last eight years in Washington and they don't even trust the Republicans everybody's saying sends somebody in there it's different Trump's different that's for sure six corporations are controlling 90% of the news it's manipulated propaganda spin cycle stuff and by the way that those six corporations represent 232 media executives who control the information 232 that's it 232 immediate execs distributive in six media outlets are shaping the diet of two 177 million Americans they turn about one executive per 1 million people being zombified by two to four hours of bombardment every day I travel I don't know I think we ought to sign a petition in the airport that CNN should not be the only television program we got I got a watch Wolf Blitzer every flippin day I travel meanwhile cus sources deep inside the Trump administration are concerned about comments that he made last night on his Twitter I don't want to hear every airports like leviathans news network you ought to call it lnn anyway you guys are being on this so father we thank you how many of you are willing to fast I'm talking about mating fast from hey listen some of you guys aren't into fasting a lot just do milkshakes do shakes or do like from dinner one day and it's just just fast a breakfast and lunch and just do a dinner and a dinner you know what I mean and a dinner do you know instead of three meals a day like I don't know how I can function at all three meals a day well somebody's gonna have to fast I'm gonna be a berry nun like with a bit rating fall so I'm gonna fast till Saturday in the name of Jesus I pray for the grace of for us to be able to pray and fast I pray Lord that you will reverse the curse of the media mudslide and the Chuck Schumer orchestrated attack on dismembering the Trump administration limb by limb I pray Lord that you will break the the teeth out of the Serpent's mouth break it in Jesus name so that it cannot function I thank you Father that you're raising up and people in Mia and in the earth and in America right now that are alert and awake because if you permit me just to say this friends we need informed Christian citizens right now you can't trust sorry to say most preachers with big TV ratings will not go where I'm going right now and God bless them Alex Jones and Mark Levine and rush limbaugh and brother savage and all the other guys are out there they can't call you to pray fast and convene the fasting and prayer so I'm like in this Twilight Zone area of saying what's happening in politics and in media and in Hollywood and and in education are not separate subjects they're all part of the same pot pie and the gravy is all this ideology that is alien to the United States and alien to our heritage alien from our founding and it will take us into alien space in the future if the church doesn't grab hold of the moment and that means that God alone has the ability to shift this situation Esther had to pray and fast the nation had to pray fast so that the Jews when they defended themselves would be able to powerfully defend themselves and so we have to have we have to have a much better uprising of citizens as journalists citizens as intercessors citizens as activists citizens as Oracles and I believe we'll find new media new entertainment new documentaries new journalism Breitbart prove that Drudge proved that Fox proved that there's a there's over there's more people that share the values of traditional America than share the crazy version that you're getting shoved in your face 24 hours a day the problem is the enemy has the microphone and what's really scary and what really ought to get you thinking he's got 80 million youth who were raised last decade under the progressives went to school with environmentalism same-sex marriage and sitcoms and they were just trained by social media they of all generations are the most vulnerable because they haven't had a bold proclamation of the truth and in spite of all of our revival further Ferber most of us only got our some of our kids off the Bible colleges the majority of America wasn't touched by the moves of God in the last decade so we got to do something very big and very different God's got to raise it up we're gonna need a whole new approach but I'm thanking your father and Jesus saying that you know this and that you're raising up informed Christian citizens that are full of the Holy Ghost full of the zeal of God I'm praying Lord for us to be filled with your spirit of one mind one heart one spirit you have the keys for Nations it's not over yet America shall be saved but not only America other nations will be saved and God you must raise up father God you must raise up and we ask you to raise up those that are filled with the Holy Spirit and Fire those that'll be burning lights those that will be irrefutable those will have the anointing of Stephen that no one can gainsay or resist what they say and you raise them up father and I pray that you do them younger and younger ages - in the name of Jesus well that's 30 minutes that's about all I wanted to do tonight on our show discuss Leviathan is multiple heads the twisting serpent how it's working through media well the discussed with either 232 media executives working for six corporations that control 90% of the propaganda you're drinking in four four hours a day I think we did that wanted to talk to you about the witchcraft attack on Donald Trump and how it's empowering that Leviathan spirit and how we're going to be dealing with it from March 8th through 11th and women I guess you know that you're going to have to be a particularly strong agent and what's happening now stay tuned because all week I'm going to be focusing on the prophetic timing of the months and the prophetic timing of the nation tonight's focus is on this battle we're going to fully break that that a cult alignment of that spirit of rebellion is over America that's what the America's got a bad spirit of rebellion and witchcraft working on you know our founding was a little bit of a rebellion in it and only got sanctified by Great Awakenings and revivals and but there's no we've always had this potential rebellion under the surface and now that thing's Full Tilt we have got to deal with cuz rebellion connects with witchcraft and witchcraft is what's coming through media what's coming through politics and what's coming into a theater near you so we're gonna pray about that amen all right listen those are either in the 7 m underground if you haven't gone to the 700 yet you need to check it out because this is a little sample of what I'm dropping in more and more over there and giving daily input on what's happening what news is taking place and what books I'm reading what links I'm looking at and so the 7 M Underground is like seven bucks a month and basically it's our underground subscription for keeping believers informed on the 7 areas that we are advancing in ninja-like kind of stealth like some people you won't even know they're Christians that doesn't sound right but you know what I mean they're like their job is to get the job done without wearing a Jesus bumper sticker on their forehead all right well let me just sign off right here and I'll stop first with the live stream down here be talking to you guys later and over here on periscope Ian's how are you guys doing I just came off of my live stream I'm gonna just post it published now yeah hope I did that right so how you guys doing out there in periscope lane yes you are the killer sheep oh boy that was exactly that was an exertion to get all that out fire Laura and pray for the fire pray for the deliverance 'as I think I need deliverance most people don't say that but if I'm not let me tell you something if you're not filled with the Holy Spirit what spirit are you getting filled with mm-hmm see we're meant to be filled by God so here's the question to whatever degree you're not filled with God you're probably filled with anxiety distractions addictions you know what I mean especially and I'm thinking about the more I get into this more I get my head wrapped around with much wisdom comes much grief the more that I realize how things are happening in the world I could read Andrew Breitbart spoke I'm gonna try to get the book for you laughing I'm not gonna tell you about the book till tomorrow because I want to get I want to be able to track how many of you actually get the book and I've got to set up a link for you to go get it but I'm saying that the more information you get the more I mean the more potentially you can come under the frustration of the warfare and this is gonna be the hard part for us we have to be able to see what's happening look at the full measure of what the devil is doing get fully upset about the lies the distortion once you see how this battle is unfolding you cannot be indifferent I'm people kind of being different or afford to be in different other people that have that are created a worldview that says it doesn't matter which case in my opinion they're just being dumb but they get a peace of mind because they disconnected them some the devil will leave them alone because they're useless but if you really want to be useful and get into this warfare and get informed you're gonna have some attacks and it's going to be a challenge but you got to still walk in the love of God you have to walk in faith you have to walk in the anointing of the state filled with the spirit like I said if you're only 50% filled 50% of your headspace can be like really occupied and rented by some spirits trying to you know make you angry and hostile frustrated and can't go there we have to be spirit filled so we got to be fully informed we got to do more than the are our enemies do our enemies are just taken captive at will that's what the Bible says the devil takes people captive to do his will and your job is in a spirit of make this to come to them to tell them the truth if perchance God gives them a spirit of repentance that they might come to their senses after being taken captive by the devil to do his will that's what Paul taught I guess he wrote that to Timothy as irritating as it might be to people that's what happens the devil takes people captive and your job is to be meek and set them free but you can't do that if you're frustrated you can't do that if you're angry so you have to not only know the truth you got to do more than that your enemy your opposition does they just got to be goofy you actually have to figure out how they're goofy why they're goofy where they're goofy what the truth is that uncuff them and then delivered in a disposition of such well warped conviviality and conviction that somehow can come through the filter that you actually are loving them even while they're hating you this isn't easy stuff you got to be spiritual oh my gosh we have to be so filled with God I won't say anything else probably should have said some of the things I did say but I love you guys all right hey shared this please share this it helps me if you share it so if you share it right now if you just yeah I know some of you guys already bailed on me nice we were here you come here true the end the true to the end periscope Ian's the periscope Ian's are the salt

qK5yXRIIlXs | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK5yXRIIlXs | A Non-Violent Protest Against Involuntary Charity and Political Corruption | hello how are you today um today I want to talk or continue to talk about my nonviolent protest against involuntary charity and political corruption um specifically I want to talk about America's road to Empire this Empire is the result of a spoil system that has gone out of control American society believes for the most part that it's exceptional but that part of it that is exceptional is not the Empire that's not what made us a great nation there have been many empires in the past but none of them have had the history that the United States has had none of them have ever tasted Liberty in the way that we have what made America great was its individual Freedom its Community the cooperation among small groups of people to defend themselves against primarily Indians watch out for each other because they lived in isolated places they live very far from one another and they had to care for one another also there was a minimum of State intervention people could pretty much do what they wanted and their own communities checked their behavior there was no need for a state to interfere and finally there were the free market where the relative price mechanism decided the most efficient way to bring real goods and services to the market Le amount of cost in resources and well of all kinds well today three years living abroad 23 of the past 25 I have come to know America from the outside born in the inside I lived here for the first 20 years of my life plus quite a bit more actually from time to time so I know America well as an American citizen but I also know America well from the outside not quite like Donald Trump in the upper reaches of high society but pretty much at the lower realm although I've had a lot of contact with people in at higher rungs I myself did not live there I can pretty much describe in four categories how the rest of the world thinks about the United States and probably foremost we're respected for our military might and our financial power um by whom mostly by other people that have never known Liberty people that have never known the freedoms that we have known in our past and that we're rapidly losing then we admired for our lifestyle but believe me the only reason people focus on the United States is because we're the elephant in the room there are so many other countries in the world that enjoy a similar lifestyle in this regard America is not at all exceptional I've lived in Japan I've lived in Hong Kong I've lived in Germany I've lived in France and these are all very well-developed countries they all have very high standards of living and in fact the Hong Kong per capita standard of living is higher than that of the United States and this is these are only four countries then America is despised for its intervention we have the arrogance as a world power to impose our value system on those of others and people resent it and they're reacting to it the terrorist attacks that we've been subjected to France Germany the United States Great Britain are people that are reacting to Nato these are people that are reacting to American Military might we are the cause of our own enemies because of our arrogance because we believe that we the the United States can judge better than any other country the difference between right and wrong well wake up America that's not the case and then there's a much smaller group of people Liberty they understand what America was initially about and they ridicule us because they see us as Hypocrites and believe me the United States is suffers from a lot of hypocrisy I don't want to go into that now perhaps tomorrow but we are ridiculed because we've abandoned our own roots the spoil system um is has perceived and it has real issues um today at the end of this talk I'm going to talk about and race I'm going to talk about Central Banking and debt and I'm going to talk about the tragedy of 911 as it has to do with war sex and religion I mentioned that briefly yesterday the spoil system underlies these problems these problems would not exist to the degree that they exist today if the spoil system weren't already in place now the Empire that we have grown into is a result of the spoil system and I'm going to trace it for you down a path beginning with Abraham Lincoln then going to Theodore Roosevelt with drove Wilson Franklin Delano Ro Roosevelt the Cold War which I'm going to say for tomorrow and the Bush family what comes after that I'll also talk about tomorrow the cold war is my generation so I know it really well from personal experience and then contemporary the Contemporary American political scene which certainly all of us knows a little bit about but before I ENT down this long path to Empire what I'd like to do is give a brief uh introduction to how this path began well not so much how it began but where we were before it started well when George Washington was President he had an advisor Alexander Hamilton and Alexander Alexander Hamilton wanted to make America a competitor with the French and British Empires um George Washington um had to he had a mess on his hand and Hamilton was by his side to to help him to consult with him what Hamilton wanted went against most of what the people in the revolution about a third of all Americans fought for independence not just independence from uh Great Britain from King George III from his uh sovereignty from our sovereignty to him over us we as his British subjects we we were overthrowing that there was a a sort of there was a secession basically our first secession and Hamilton and George and all of his friends wanted to build a state there was a lot of trouble there was a lot of difficulty a lot of problems that had to be overcome and uh a bit of a strong arm seemed to be necessary at the time but it did go against the basic principles which we had fought the War of Independence and this is where the jeffersonians came in the jeffersonians rebelled against the hamiltonians the jeffersonians wanted that freedom for which we had fought not just from Great Britain but also from each other if you will from the state the jeffersonians came into power in 18 early 1800s Jefferson was president from 1801 until 1809 and this kind of set things back on course the state will that was put into place by George Washington and Alexander Hamilton and their friends was usurped so to speak and Jefferson and his friends took back the The Roots the rights for which we as American citizens have fought or maybe not citizens as a whole at that time but citizens of our respective States and then from 1809 until Abraham Lincoln came to power in 1861 there was a long period of tension and prosperity these two groups of people the hamiltonians the statists and the jeffersonians those that believed in the freedom and the spirit of Liberty for for the individual they were in constant friction with one another of prosperity um a lot happened a lot more than what I can disc discussed here but I can mention a few things that are important as stepping stones to where we're headed first of all the War of 1812 initiated probably the first important um desire on the PO of certain states to secede from the union um secession was never talked about in the Constitution so it it really wasn't a clear issue and more than likely our founding fathers left it that way they some very much wanted to be free to leave the union whenever they thought it necessary and others said no um Andrew Jackson is one of those who said no but Andrew Jackson from 1829 to 1837 was one of those that resisted centralization um he resisted Ed the Second Bank of the United States and money is important because money and War and Empire they all go together from 1818 to 1858 there was something called the suff bank it serviced nearly all of New England it was a very large populated area it was commercially very successful and the Saul Bank um operated a fractional Reserve lending system that was backed by gold there was no currency there was no dollar um what the subok bank demanded was gold in remuneration for other currencies which it accepted from the exterior from people in rural areas and then during this period there was also the growing divide in the North and the South because of slavery um slavery was no longer necessary in the north because the cotton Jin eliminated the need for it and in the South the the cotton Jin made cotton um a terrific export crop um it was the single largest source of exports at the time to to Europe and slaves made cotton work someone had to pick the cotton and there were no machines at the time so slavery diminished in the north slavery increased in the South and slavery went pretty much against our founding principles stated clearly in the Declaration of Independence problem there's no doubt about it and then came Lincoln that was in 1861 he only stayed in office for eight for four years in 1865 what did Lincoln bring with him well we're taught in school that he brought the end of slavery and that's pretty much all we're taught well if if you look back in history and I've got a really good book um that it's called the real Lincoln it's written by a gentleman named Thomas J dorenzo um he addresses some of the problems that Lincoln encountered and his solutions to them and his Solutions were not at all pretty he introduced counterfeit money he introduced Central Bank the Third Bank of the United States if you like the income tax which 10 years later after the war um was ruled as illegal under the Constitution of the United States he introduced the Homestead Act we're taught in school that the Homestead Act is what made it possible for poor Americans to take out land property for themselves and seek their their own Prosperity their own happiness when in fact the Homestead Act was an artifice used by the railroad industry up land to build railroads that were subsidized by the US government this is probably the biggest source of the spoil system um in US history up to that point and it's interesting to note that Abraham Lincoln was himself a lawyer and he was a lawyer for and then there was his secretary a secretary of state named seart and Seward um was responsible for prison camps for political in fact one of the prison camps was called the American bastia named after the French bastia which was destroyed when the French broke out in Revolution in 1789 it was Seward's Imperial design this came after Lincoln but it was still part of the Lincoln Administration um and that was his attempt to purchase the ismith of Panama and his actual purchase of Alaska from Russia America was going Beyond its borders America was going Beyond its own continent America was already beginning to reach out reaching out in the sense of helping people is not quite what is meant here about is the initiation of global Empire then two Lincoln introduced military conscription 600,000 American soldiers on both sides um were lost were mimed wounded and well basically injured for the rest of their lives the 600,000 maybe small and you consider the size of the American population at the time it was a very substantial number nearly every state the war and it was a senseless War um there's only one other nation in all of the Americas and all of them had some form of slavery which fought a war to end slavery and that was Haiti is today then there was the pillage and the plunder we all taught in school about General Sherman but it wasn't just General Sherman generals that were doing this saying here is just um the epitome if you will of what happened idea was Lincoln was losing the war and if you're going to win the war then just beat the hell out of everyone and do it so severely in fear and then right I mean going on in the South um we're expanding in the west the Homestead Act was passed in 1862 um the railroads started um the construction of the railroads had begun and the Buffalo were in the way did we do we hired slaves called Buffalo Soldiers to shoot the buffalo in very large amounts we nearly exterminated the population in fact terminating the the Buffalo we also destroyed the livelihoods of the Indians of the Plains Indians that lived on and what was the natural reaction well the same reaction that we have today they fought back was their land it was their livelihood it was their way of life and then one thing came after after Lincoln died but why seart was still very active the 14th Amendment passed in 1868 the purpose of the 14th amendment was to take care of the freed slaves but today is used in entirely different ways when I was living in Hong Kong I had a dentist he was my friend initially and to tell me that he took his his wife to the United States for three days to have their child born so that their child could receive a US passport turned to Hong Kong and as far as I know they've been living there ever since um his daughter is D an American citizen what kind of loyalty is this what what what what kind of perversion of helping slaves has this resulted in the other thing the the thing called incorporation where the 14th amendment has been used time and time again to contradict the the contradiction or to contradict the Constitution as was originally intended um in the Constitution the central government the federal government Washington DC was to have a very limited set of powers set of powers um it kept Washington under control it kept the sovereignty in the hands of the people and this was done to the state governments but when the uh progressive era started our is our US Supreme Court started using the 14 14th Amendment to control state states were no longer able to do what states were entitled to do Under the Constitution but now they were disenfranchised by the American Supreme Court um you can read more about that in this book it's written by a named Kevin gsman Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution I highly recommend it um it's a little aeric what he's talking about what he's writing about you you really can't blame him um most people most legal students today are never really taught about the Constitution they're not taught about how it was how it came into being the basic principles upon which it is founded when they study constitutional law they study the Constitution but they rarely go any deeper Federalist Papers they don't go into the ratification process they they don't go into the notes and the letters the correspondence of the people that were responsible for the writing so that's the 14th Amendment and that was passed in 1868 and by the way um it's quite well documented that that amendment is not really legal ratified well after Lincoln um did all of these things and many more kind of returned to normal at least in the north and in the west the South certainly didn't recover for a very long time but the Supreme Court started dismantling some of the things that um Lincoln had put into place uh among these um maybe not so much the Supreme Court but the political system um we dumped the central bank that um Lincoln created in other words the the green back this uh counterfeit money uh just paper created out of nothing that was a throwback to the Continental during the American Revolution to fund the war which is worth almost nothing um there was a saying back then um worth a continental and it it was a joke because the Continental was worth almost nothing you needed barrels of money to make small purchases for say a loaf of bread and so the green backa disappeared for a fairly long time for nearly 50 years um then came this period um which lasted for a good a good length of time nearly a half century um the Imperial Drive started to reconstitute itself and we see this under Theodore Roosevelt who was president from 1901 until 1909 and it was under his presidency that we went from the Overland expansion initiated by Lin actually goes all the way back to Our Roots we we've always been either trading for land or taking it outright from the Indians but um under Lincoln this uh Westward this expansion period became uh more violent uh more aggressive and more rapacious and Theodore Roosevelt was part of this but the reason I brought up Theodore Roosevelt is because he continued in the uh Stewart tradition the Secretary of State under Lincoln um and he fought during the Spanish-American war in 1898 um he was responsible for the colonization of the philppines 1998 until 1946 basically setting the stage for um the Japanese attack on Pearl hara1 he's also responsible for the acquisition of the Panama Canal um the Panama Canal is very far from our own territory this is Imperial acquisition is what Theodore Roosevelt um introduced and it was also during this period that the progressive area the progressive the so-called Progressive Era began and we began to um believe that our founding fathers were mistaken that uh government was okay um government was not a danger there was no reason to be afraid of it we have all of these scientists and all of these technocrats that are very well capable of of managing it so that it doesn't get out of hand and these people there's very smart and why not let them guide us why not create a planned economy a planned Society why don't we become and this began under theore Roosevelt but the actual the concrete the the foundation Stones not just the movement not just the thought but the things that actually began putting the system into place this this Progressive Era this idea that government is good uh government is not dangerous it's um a well-controlled fire in in a chimney that surely cannot get out of hand um the person responsible for laying the foundation stones for this was wood Wilson um just before he came into office which was in March 1913 um the 16th amendment was passed um which permitted the United States to tax income um no longer proportionally according to the population of each state but um uniformally across all states um by the way if you you'll find that most of us who pay income taxes are not required under law to pay them um we think we are because of the policies that have been introduced by the United States Treasury and the IR but there's nothing in the Constitution that this in in in the way that it's done now um and if you go back and you look at the laws that were passed you'll find that really very few people um are obligated legally um to pay them paying them and see what happens to you and no one will listen to your legal arguments um very few people know about them and um the American government doesn't want to advertise the fact for obvious reasons then there was the 17th Amendment which occurred in April U just a month later which um the election of state senators by state legislators um this was another stab in the back for um those who believe that government is dangerous and that government needs to be controlled um when we have elections through popular vote um we are susceptible to the media we are susceptible to what we're told and most of us are not deeply involved in the political process people that work in state government office is they understand the political process they understand the danger of government they're part of it and they're continually one another and having that power in the Senate was a a control because the people that were electing the senators were people that understood government very well today we you can donate to a senator and a state completely different than your own and this can be done by very powerful um super packs uh we no longer have control of the Senate somebody else does and then there was the Central Bank uh this was passed in December of 1913 uh and the central bank was um since um Lincoln and Lincoln I never really had institutionalized a central bank but what he had institutionalized was a banking system which uh created money and this is through the Reserve System and from that Reserve System uh was instituted this the Federal Reserve Bank which is a defao central bank for the United States government Bank um issues loans to um the federal government to purchase um and services that it needs to um make it's domestic and foreign programs um if he wants to fight a war it if it can't collect the taxes to fight the war it goes to the central bank it borrows money and if it can't pay the the the debt that it is borrowed it borrows more and more and more and more and that's that's where we are today but who put that process into place was WRA Wilson um in December of 1913 by the way that process um took some time to develop several years it uh wasn't something that happened automatically and then shortly thereafter in April of 1917 we entered World War I and of course it was easy to fund World War I because now there was a Central Bank in place to do it you raise taxes when you've got a central bank you just print money counterfeit money money that you or I couldn't print but money that our central government prints and it's unconstitutional uh if you read the Constitution the American government has the right to coin money what does that mean it means to leave gold and then take that gold and transform it into coin um that's all it doesn't give the the government the right to create money out of nothing like it is doing today and what Congress did was it gave that right a right that it didn't have under the Constitution to a private banking cartel called the Federal Reserve System it's phony it's unconstitutional and it brought us World War I one because soon after Wilson came Franklin Delano Roosevelt he was in office from 1933 until 1945 he was responsible for what um is called by some administrative State he was responsible for Central planning to agree that America had never seen before what he did in order to get his policies through Congress that Congress did not want to pass because Congress still had the notion was maybe not such a good thing I is what um what Franklin Delo Roosevelt did was just create a bureaucracy uh he created policies and he just started administrating on his own and and the courts found it really hard to keep up with him and under the current system um most of the courts just kind of went along with him when went along with him I mean we can blame that Franklin Delano Roosevelt but who elected him three times we did the progressive era was a very popular thing at the time um we pointing to the robber barons those who were very wealthy um most of them weren't robber barons wealthy most of them earned their money in a very if you look at it historically you go into the details put away your high school history book and find out what really what really happened there were very few Robert Barons per se but there was a lot of social turmoil and that social tur turmoil was the result of industrialization but as Herbert Spencer wrote in the 19th century in England um it takes time pain occurs in life when a new child is born um the mother mother suffers pain as the child grows up the child suffers pain and as we as as we adults as we advance in our careers we Al also suffer pain from pain we grow out of pain pain is a necessary part of our Lives it's not something that we should detest it it's something that we should deal with uh not through medication which Smothers it but through by looking at the source of the pain and looking for ways to to escape it and that doesn't mean running to government that means figuring it out on our own in the company of each other in the marketplace where it's free where it's voluntary and where we find Solutions all right then we come to the Cold War but I'm going to skip that and go over that tomorrow because that's My Generation I know it really well and it's a very important part of history that influences where we are today um and I want to jump to the Bush family and the reason I want to do this is because when the Cold War in 1989 and the Iron Curtain fell um this was an opportunity for George Herbert Walker Bush to reform the United Nations um we could have at that point created a federal government if you will um in New York a federal government which did not trample the the rights and freedoms under our constitution but at least a place where governments throughout the world could come together to solve basic needs um is common it's been with us through throughout our time through throughout human history and to have a place where people can come together and discuss problems and find Solutions is not a bad idea well George Herbert Walker Bush had the opportunity to work with the United Nations but he did not what he did is he and his cabal got together and they said okay we're going to establish America as a world and that's exactly what has happened um it was an end run around the United Nations and it's made America today a world Empire it's unfortunate um and I'm very unhappy that George Herbert Walker Bush ever entered into office and there was the tragedy of 911 that happened as We Know in on September 11th in 2001 uh a decade after the Gulf War which lasted from 1990 to 1991 to this day we don't even know who was responsible for September 11 um I can offer another piece of reading material that I think you would find very interesting it's called Beyond Mis Beyond misinformation what science construction of World Trade Center buildings 1 2 7 um most Americans um don't know that a third building fell and when you look at how it fell you will clearly recognize which was not so clear or maybe not so easy to recognize in the destruction of buildings one and two the Twin Towers but what you will see is a controlled demolition and it's it's clear um based upon science and scientific investigation that the three buildings were all destroyed by controlled this um pamphlet is 54 pages long and it's produced by an organization called Architects and Engineers for 911 truth I'll show you what it looks like you can get it online uh you can also purchase copies and distribute them to your friends as I did this past Christmas and then after 911 what did we do we invaded Afghanistan and we've been there ever since of Afghanistan was sorry I mean you might not like um Muslim or Islamic fundamentalism um but that's not our territory that's not our country um that's not our business we have no right to their minerals we have no right to their pipelines or the uh the pipelines which had a potential to be built across Afghanistan we don't even have a right to their poppies and the Opium that they sell on on the open market um it's not our business to be there and the afghanis had fought really hard with our funding to drive out the the Soviet Union it's a very big part of the reason that the Soviet Union eventually collapsed because he could not afford the war um the Taliban controlled something like n over 90% of the territory what was what little what little was left um was run by um drug Warlords and these are the people that we supported to take Afghanistan um and put it in the hands of our own um satellite um puppets and then quickly after that was the Iraq War and I I don't know if I've got to tell you very much about that um probably you understand that there was a very big lie that was created at War um it it's just something that came after the tragedy of 911 and just number two in a sequence of um you can find out all kinds of information about this tragic event and the ifications it's had on and on the United States uh Wars that followed were Hillary's war in Libya Obama's war in Syria in Somalia Wars in Yemen and many smaller conflicts elsewhere and this is the result of the Gulf War um under Herbert Walker Bush now all of this comes way from the spoil system because most people don't want war governments have to push people at least democracies that the citizens of a democracy into war and if they want the war and it's usually wanted by by very wealthy people that are very close to government who can profit from it then they will find an excuse and when they can't raise taxes they go to the central government and print money they print the money they purchase the real goods and services that they need to to fund their war that means less for us to consume as Citizens and more for the government to spend these um we have no business in conflicts that that we tend to start there is we the free and Sovereign people and we as a free and Sovereign people um cannot give rights that we don't have and what we're seeing is the government taking rights and we have stood by over the years and allowed this to happen and we need to stop it because it's leading to no good I I think most Americans are unhappy they can see that something's wrong I don't think they understand the real source of the problem the spoil system but and it's no there's no reason for it to be there our constitution does not permit it and if we would read our Constitution and study our constitution and the foundation of our nation uh we would have a bit to learn that government is a necessary evil uh this is a notion I spoke about yesterday negative law that means the government there is to punish that's it it's there to punish criminals it's there to protect the individual's right the individual's right to his person other nations that would try try take our property to take our persons uh in aggressive acts it's punitive government that's the reason we call it an evil and we fund it through taxes which themselves are a form of theft but so long as the government is doing its job and is preventing others from stealing from us then okay it's a sacrifice that we make it's a fire which is well under control happened during the Progressive area the progressive era was the introduction of positive law which is prescriptive that is law which tells us how to live our lives and this is not the right kind of law it's not the kind of law that our founding fathers had in mind it's not not the kind of law that a free and Sovereign people should entertain is the law which is causing most of the trouble in our nation today and it's a law that we don't have to dismantle all at once of people but we can certainly proceed in the direction of dismantlement to take it away um when positive law is is actually necessary and that is when the individual's property rights cannot be well defined and therefore someone has to come in and establish is the purpose of Congress to to handle those situations but those situations in a free Marketplace are really quite limited they're very small and although the laws that congress is passing today most of them don't deserve to be on the books okay so um now let me go back to where we started and that is how the spoil system relates to the perceived and real issues of today something about it yesterday but I want to go into a little more detail about it today um first of all the Republican party touts uh Abraham Lincoln as a great figure part of the reason that they do this I I I think is to say that Republican party is responsible for saving the Union at whatever cost and and and two Lincoln is responsible for freeing the slaves and therefore is a friend of well was he trampled the Constitution um to say centralized power in the hands of a few people see as I stated before one other country in all of the Americas and all of the Americas had some sort of um slave slavery system that required a war to um dismantle slavery and after the cotton chin came these um automated cotton pick the machines which would have eliminated slavery in a very quiet way um there was no need for the war there really wasn't we had lived with slavery for a century and another 10 or 20 years was certainly not worth this more than 600,000 lives that were lost and not all slaves were treated like you see in the movies uh some of them lived quite well it's it's a tragic point in our history and it's what introduced the spoil system it's what destroyed the notion of states rights it's what provided the the solution the controls on our central government then Central Banking Central Banking is Criminal I've already discussed the reasons why but there are other reasons that make it very dangerous besides the fact that it steals from the people it is also responsible for the booms and busts Booms that create the busts it's not the bust that result in the booms um printing of counterfeit money the booms which result in Buss and when the Buss occur what happens wealthy sap up buy up up people's assets other people's property and they become wealthier um what it does is it the many and concentrates it in the hands of the very few now concentrated wealth is not a bad thing but the degree of concentration is um susceptible at this point and this is due uh in large part to Central Banking of course there are all kinds of laws have been passed that are tax codes But Central Banking is the primary culprit in the accumulation of wealth at the top in in so few hands there's of course the tragedy of 911 and what have we done we've um juxtaposed the Muslim faith which occurs basically in an entirely different part of of the world Asia the near East Indonesia Malaysia Dan uh Bangladesh what are we doing there those are cultures that are completely forign to our own involving ourselves in their ways of life it's simply not right and it needs to stop finally well maybe not so finally is war prophet and we have become a Waring Nation we even have wars on drugs we have wars and poverty um we have wars and everything uh spoil system it's what we have created it's what we're responsible for and it's up to us to dismantle it fact well wants to be free to do what she wants to do in the United States when she wants sequel she has only to point to those terrible Muslims who treat their women in Despicable ways force them to cover their heads force them to cover their faces and force them to wear black in the middle of the day me that's their custom it's not our business that is an excuse to um obtain higher wages in the American system is simply wrong all right tomorrow I'm going to address the Cold War because it's part of my generation address the Contemporary political scene before I close I'd like to make mention of Patrick Henry he lived from 1736 until 1799 to mind for his quote Give me liberty or give me death I have something to show you this is my eviction notice it's my invitation from a legal firm to become um here on the other hand I have two freshly minted both in my name one is from Bank of America and the other one is from Capital One um there you have it that's my situation I can survive as a productive citizen or I can be tossed in into a homeless shelter or find my way in someplace somewhere um I'm not going to live like that I believe in quality of life um any animal knows how to survive being and I've got a lot more to give than just Sur survival I want to help America are you willing to help me and that's the reason I brought up Patrick because right now my motto and I think it'll last me until either I'm given help or I die is a mo true charity charity not taken from someone else not stolen through taxation from someone else and then given to someone else which causes divisiveness between those from whom it is stolen and those to whom it is given I'm not looking for that kind of Charity and I refuse to accept it I was brought up that's not what my father taught me and so the only other solution is to die as a mo T me then why should I care about you and I've made the right decision um if you do care in any way that shows you that I'm worth an investment then please donate go to www. nudge do online there you can contribute there you can also find out a lot more about who I am where I've come from how I've arrived in my current situation I have to offer I'm 66 years of age people don't think it and tomorrow in my third episode um I'll show you why now have a good evening I won't say God bless you because um I'm not all convinced that God isn't something that we created ourselves L of God-fearing people out there I respect you you have a right to your beliefs okay that's it ww. n. online not.com online hope to see you again tomorrow | Roddy Stegemann | UCaX9neODpGtRgbqOu01aAOg |

QvOIkJyS7EU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvOIkJyS7EU | Responses to sexual violence against children with disabilities in South African townships | Hi, my name is Dr. Jean Elphick. I am the General Manager of the Afrika Tikkun Empowerment Programme. This presentation speaks to the responses to sexual violence affecting children with disabilities in South African Townships. The Afrika Tikkun Empowerment Programme is really a program which started off focusing very clearly on children with disabilities. But now also includes a very strong gender based violence component and also has a look at other at-risk groups of children and young people. So today what this presentation will cover is just a snapshot of the types of violence that we have encountered, affecting children registered on our programs and some of the responses that our programming has developed to try to mostly focus on preventing sexual violence. So before we begin, there is quite a bit of research, although still significant research gaps, which link additional vulnerabilities of disability with sexual violence. And this is specifically also with relation to children. There's also a good body of research linking exposure to violence, abuse and trauma to disability. So these things where disability - intellectuals and psychosocial disabilities, and developmental delays - can predispose children to abuse. Abuse and violence then also predisposes them to disabilities. In South Africa specifically, it was found that children with intellectual disabilities were between three and eight times more likely to be abused than non-abused children. So despite the fantastic range of comprehensive human rights legislation which is enacted in South Africa. And despite South Africa having signed and ratified not just the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, but also the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, significant barriers to not only child protection, but also access to justice remain. Specifically when it comes to children with disabilities. So just by way of warming you up - a short anecdote. What is on screen now are excerpts from a letter that was received just this month in response to a case brought to the South African Human Rights Commission in 2014. Basically, the letter outlines the reason that this case was brought. It was about surrounding concern about a center for children with disabilities. And where multiple instance of rape and sexual assault against children with disabilities had been heard about and spoken about. These cases and and these incidents had been reported by multiple parties, not just to the South African Police, not just to the Department of Social Development, but also to the Department of Basic Education. And after just less than four years, the response has now come that the case is now going to be closed and that the Commission the South African Human Rights Commission is satisfied that the center has put in place some child protection measures. But what's quite clear is that where there are concerns about sexual violence specifically affecting children with disabilities and where these cases are both brought forward to duty bearers, really the response is lackluster at best. If we have a look at the Afrika Tikkun Empowerment Programme, and if we have a look across the children with disabilities who are known to our programmes. At this point, we have just over a thousand clients registered on the empowerment programme, some of whom may be young adults, in addition to children with disabilities. We undertook an audit of secondary data in our client case files and we came across 27 cases where a child or young adult with a disability or a caregiver of theirs had disclosed to our staff some instance or incident of violence. At that point, there were 18 female and nine male clients And their ages ranged between six and twenty seven years old. If we have a look at the types of disabilities that we're talking about here, the most common was an intellectual impairment. But other diagnoses also included cerebral palsy, bipolar disorders and some other psychosocial disabilities and also down syndrome. If we drill down into those 27 clients, and have a look just at the clients who are children. There were 18 and of children who experience sexual violence We get down to a number of 18. When we look at the types of sexual violence which was perpetrated or disclosed, by far the most common was rape. So rape was disclosed amongst nine and sexual grooming had affected one. What's also interesting is when we have a look at the sort of reporting of these incidents. And it's quite clear that the majority of these cases had been reported and that may well be because these clients are all registered on the empowerment programme. And part of the programme includes an advice and referral service. So, especially with recent cases of any kind of violence or any kind of criminal activity affecting children are disclosed, the families or the the client themselves are supported to go through the correct procedures, with respect to reporting and opening cases with the police. Four of these clients did not want to report and have not reported to date. Some of the reason was that the incidents had happened have many years ago and the family and children had decided that they did not want to open a case. However as you can see, the majority have reported to one of the three places where you can report sexual abuse and violence in South Africa. Those include - at the police, at a hospital (a state hospital) or to a Thuthuzela Care Centre (GBV one-stop centre). None of our clients had actually reported ever to a Thuthuzela Care Centre. Just one of them had reported at a health facility. But the rest had all reported to the police. And three of them had actually reported multiple times. Clearly these incidents are happening, but as we know, and as with all gender-based violence related statistics, especially in South Africa, in our context, we know that there is really a very big underreporting of these kinds of incidents. The mere fact that the majority of the cases that were reported were included rape really points to the fact that sexual assaults and sexual grooming (these kinds of sexual violence) are thought or perceived to be less important or the type of thing that families would just prefer to forgive and forget. Whereas rape is seen as as as more severe and more worthy of speaking out about. So what I'd like to talk about now is a little bit more about our responses and the types of interventions that we have started implementing amongst our clients, not only amongst children with disabilities, but we also run programmes that target young children in our early childhood development centers, so children from age 3 to 6. We also run clubs for children in child and youth development programmes. And those children are part of after-school programmes, and they run from age 7 to 18. We then have a club for out-of-school young adults who would still like to remain active in our empowerment groups. And then finally we also have self-help groups or community based rehabilitation empowerment groups for family members - mostly mothers of children with disabilities. So we have several studies and some resources for that are available for people to have a look at (see resource list). The first is An evaluation of the outcomes of a community-based rehabilitation empowerment programme, specifically amongst caregivers of children with disabilities at our first pilot site where we started the empowerment program. This really speaks about the outcomes of running a weekly self-advocacy group for caregivers of children with disabilities - mostly mothers of children with disability - and it presents some of the outcomes of a transformative research study, which has been implemented amongst the caregivers since 2013. And it really speaks to the way that being part of this intervention has not only boosted the way that caregivers feel about the power to tackle issues affecting children with disabilities. For instance, their self-confidence in talking to and engaging with duty bearers and also dealing with their own experiences of sexual and gender-based violence. So for instance one quotation from a case study interview conducted in 2015 with a mother of a child with disabilities said, "Now I know how to make decisions for myself. Despite what people think, I do what makes me happy now. I used to be a victim of abuse and every time I wanted to make a decision, I would think of my husband and my parents. But now, no one can tell me what to do. In 2012, I knew that I had rights and every woman has a chance to live her life, but I didn't realize that I had the power to change things." What this really speaks to is the some of the effect of not only peer support and ongoing supportive community, which the advocacy group provides, but also about elevated levels of constitutional literacy. So just the some of the effects of learning more about what it is that our South African Constitution stands for, what the rights of all citizens are, regardless of their gender or disability, or any other grounds for discrimination. But also around the quite comprehensive sexuality education which which we have been implementing. The caregivers really highlighted the comprehensive sexuality education course that they had completed, and said that there it was number one - the most important education opportunity that they had accessed through the empowerment programme. One of the caregivers said (this is quote from a focus group discussion that was conducted in 2015), "We were taught to make our children aware that people are not allowed to touch their private parts. This has made a huge difference because our children are not being sexually abused anymore." Now this may well be premature and over-enthusiastic statement, but when we had looked at the net effect of increased agency of caregivers who participated in the self health groups and the sort of shifting political, social and economic structures within which they are embedded, we really did see a shift and an improved access of children with disabilities to their human rights. And this was really seen and articulated in terms of section 12 of the South African Constitution, which is the right of people to safety and freedom, Which includes the right to be free from all forms of violence, not to be tortured in any way, not to be treated or punished in a cruel inhumane or degrading way. And so caregivers said that you know even though violence still remains a problem in their community, they felt that they were better equipped to prevent abuse and they knew what to do and how to respond if a an instance of abuse or violence did occur. They had also shifted things in the opportunity structure in their environment. And one of the ways that they're done this was by pushing for and participating in the launch of a disability desk at the local police station. They really think that this was something that had made a difference. But going back to the general education on human rights and human rights literacy, I just want to share one last quotation with you again from a focus group in 2015. A caregiver said, "I feel like my child is safe now because I know his rights. And I've been taught about rape and how to fight for my child's rights." So the caregivers really did emphasize the value of sexuality education. So what we started off doing was running a train-the-trainer course for caregivers of children with disabilities, using an education programme put together by the Western Cape Forum for Intellectual Disabilities. We taught caregivers and took them through a manual which is called, "All about me." And it's a comprehensive lifeskills, sexuality and HIV/AIDS education programme, specifically designed for learners with intellectual disabilities or cognitive deficits. And after initially having caregivers to not only talk to their children about sexuality and and life skills and how to make decision healthy decisions about their bodies, how to understand relationships and things like being feeling confident to say no and make decisions about your body, we started realizing that a helpful approach to providing this human rights education and sexuality education in particular would be peer education. So we also have some reports on the peer education programme, which we have piloted initially in a school for children with educational support needs (a special school). But essentially peer education is a process whereby well-trained and motivated young people undertake informal or organised educational activities with their peers, similar to themselves in age background or interests. These activities occur over an extended period of time and are aimed at developing young people's knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and skills. It's teaching people about life, our rights. People know things but they not sure of them. So if we teach them, then they know about them. So it's like we are the teachers. When I look and I see that we have older people and younger people coming together to achieve a common goal, I think it's basically it's a matter of he's at that level, so he can approach people at his level. She's at that level, so she can approach people at her level. One can adapt to any situation, who does not have problems with anyone, and who does not choose the color or the culture. We get to teach them the way they understand. We spend more time with them, so we don't only teach here, but we teach wherever we are. My name is ______, and I study at _____ . I study agriculture and architect. I am a peer educator. Hi, I am _____ and I am a peer educator. The advantages of peer education is that we get the knowledge we don't expect from our parents. We're learning in a comfortable and welcoming area because we understand one another since we are teenagers and stuff. People tend to think that young people don't have the abilities to be successful without adults but I believe that we can only if we set our minds to it, and we have people who can support us. | Sara Lim Bertrand | UCBT1uL2N-RBJp9TuFGKkERg | 2017-09-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,383 | 14,067 |
