Dialectics: from Hegel to Marx
why why would we study Hegel philosopher lived over 200 years ago I mean if you ask a lot of modern or postmodern so-called thinkin's all they can think about is new ideas new things in a new way of doing them doing things and they always present themselves like this kind of a complete break with the past although in reality they're just mimicking they're just repeating what's been said many times before in history but for these people progress in history and progress in the history of ideas is just a figment of our imagination and it has no reality to it but if we take even a superficial look we see that that's not really true if we look at literature did it did it didn't it change completely after Homer we're after Shakespeare could ever go back to the way literature was before that or if we take a look at music could it ever be the same after Bach or after Beethoven or after Beatles book by Plato I think there's or within within science could it never be the same after Newton Darwin and and similar people of course all of this is just a closed book to these people because they never really actually take the time to even do a superficial inquiry of what they're what they're talking about but as Marxist we never claimed to be special or having found some kind of magical formula that no one accidentally thought about for all these thousands of years come up with this solution we emphatically put ourselves in within a long line of thinkers going obviously through Trotsky Lenin Marx and Engels but even further through Hegel the French materialist Aristotle Heraclitus ancient Greek philosophy all of these form our heritage and in fact our heritage is not just these people but these people as a representation of the of the how this a common experience of kind itself marks entangled a very very very keen students of Hegel and Hegel in fact had a similar view of history of philosophy itself he didn't see himself as someone was just threw aside all previous history on the contrary he saw he thought that scientific thought not as a history of random ideas by random people but at this progressive unfolding of truth of scientific knowledge from from lower to higher levels each philosophy in its own date played the progressive role the enormous role in developing our understanding of the world and our place in it but at the same time each advance carried within it this sees to its own downfall each philosophies set of ideas within it had its contradiction which at a certain stage meant that they couldn't play the role that they used to and therefore those ideas were then negated by a new school of thought a new way of looking at the world which was on a high on a higher level so every school of philosophy and every system of thought which negated another one was it was was bound to collapse itself and give way to another which was so so so that meant that what was true at one point in history was inadequate to explain the truth at another point but this didn't mean that these these negated schools of thought thoughts just disappeared forever that they were just lost and just thrown aside but that they're rational kernel or their essence was in fact maintained within the development of consciousness and scientific thought all together we can look at a school such as the Pythagorean school now the pythagorean's a lot of people don't know this but in reality they were a mystic sect was it was a religious sect which worship ideas and they basically they were the founders of philosophic idealism but not many people know that about them but yet what a lot of people almost every school student learns today is the scientific developments that they actually did make and which were a breakthrough for science and for maths at that time so the essence of that school of thought was was maintains kept whereas all the accidental or the well yeah accidental elements the size of it was was was discarded and the same we can say about throughout the history of philosophy a history of thought that there have been many many people thinkers the schools that we don't really know about it don't really really know what they were about but the the essence of the conclusions that they reached has been maintained within the our consciousness and within our within our thinking at least in general terms that's the outline of the process now Hegel believed that his philosophy correctly was the culmination of all previous philosophy and that it carried within it the true essence of all of these previous systems of thought and and that he was kind of the the final step in this progressive approximation towards the truth is under this unfolding of the truth as he would call it about the an our understanding of the laws of nature and of society and our place within within those spheres he explained that everything which rises is rational at a certain seder every school of thought which rises is rational at a certain stage but it's also good by its own inner contradictions to become irrational and pass away at a later stage now this process of negation disposal of everything rising and then being negated falling into their opposite is according to Hegel the key to his philosophy because it's not just something in human thought and culture within philosophy but it but it's something that permeates all of human society all of nature all of development he likens it he compares this with the with the bud which by its own essence has to develop into into into into a flower into blossom but by doing that by fulfilling is own inner necessity it completely negates itself it doesn't exist anymore it gives way to the blossom which then again disappears as the manifestation of that plant when the flower comes you see here three stages of development of the plant each of which completely negate the other one ie cannot coexist but at the same time they're necessary for the existence of each other in his in his logic he starts off by by by asking the question what is pure being if we think about it you can't really think about what is pure being being that's not determined it's not limited it's not in any way qualified it's just pure being you can't even say it because then you actually add some some letters to and you shouldn't do it because then it's not really really true it's nothing eventually you reach to the conclusion that there's nothing you cannot add any characteristics to it and therefore pure being immediately as you start begin to begin to think about it collapses into nothing and because it shares the same characteristics as with nothing but this isn't just nothing now because obviously is something because we know that it's definitely not being so it's not nothing is not being read and therefore even within this completely abstract thought experiment we see the fundamental law of nature that Hegel discover that everything taken to the logical conclusion by their own inner contradiction fall fall into their into their opposite and instead of being what we have is becoming of development of change we carries within it this this this constant movement from being to nothing this constant movement from one thing to to to its other yes yes and if this is this is the fundamental point that Hegel makes that everything is in constant change and everything is constantly coming into being and passing away as soon as a person is born you basically begin to die every cell which is created within our body has a certain time where it lives and then it and then it passes away in the beginning of our life more cells are created than that then died off but at a certain stage this this changes to its opposite and you have the beginning of the decline of or like the period of decline of our lives and this at a certain stage again reaches a critical stage in which we see a rapid acceleration and then we're not obviously our death is not the end of him humanity or human society just like our birth was in the beginning of beginning of it we're descent you know we can trace ourselves back to our ancestor our parents and their parents and we can go back to generations our ancestors and we go all the way back to the birth of humanity itself and link it again and within the same process with it with with the development of species you know going back through the primates and trace our roots all the way back to to the first one celled organisms and even further before that before matter actually began to organize itself into into into living matter now at each step each new species or each new kind in this development represents a step forward if it's on a higher level we can say within the organization of matter and that's why we see throughout the history of development of species we see the long line of species the majority of which have gone extinct but it would grant you know the continuous onward progress from lower to higher levels of species and yes and again just like in the development philosophy we see that each step forward is not like a random completely random step forward but and a complete reset but that it carries within it the the essence and the seeds of the of the previous previous thing that it comes from every new species negates but at the same time preserves the essential aspects of the old one of course within the history of species and and life there's all kinds of dead ends and steps back but in general terms that's that's the that's the the the process that we're watching in fact we can see this whole process within the development of human the human fetus which mimics the development of life since its early stages on a plant on our planet until the development of human being this constant change and the rise of fall of all phenomena from lower to higher level that's the fundamental mode of existence of all matter but this change is not it's not imposed from it from outside it's rather driven by his own internal contradictions just like your being as we talked about inevitably becomes his opposite death is a is a is an outcome of the internal contradiction of life and so on and so on but this change once that happens it's not a gradual change necessary but more like a rapid acceleration or a jump once once we can see that body reaches a certain stage of decline we see that that the process takes on a rapid pace and death occurs very or likewise after a certain period the fetus being within within a womb and growing to a certain age birth is imposed very very quickly and a similar thing obviously we can see in social revolutions that once a certain certain society has reached a certain stage in entered into a state of decline and from here we begin to see that the contradictions between the rule of the old ruling class and the rise of the new revolutionary class begin to begin to pile up and at a critical stage at a critical point any given accident can make all these contradictions come to the surface and we see the beginning of social revolution so it's not difficult to see that Hegel's the the implications of Hegel's philosophy were very very revolutionary but Hegel never reached these conclusions explicitly himself it was more implied in in hid in his writings and although he he sympathized with the French Revolution but politically was a conservative but how the question is how can it be that you reached these revolutionary ideas conclusions in the form in in the sphere of philosophy and yet remain a conservative and that's what we're gonna look into a bit now now throughout history we can generally divide philosophy into two camps very generally very broadly speaking we have on one hand the the camp of idealism which subsists of people who say that the fundamental basis the fundamental building blocks or basis of the world is ideas or some form of ideas and that matter and everything else is kind of in one way or another reflection of that and all religion falls into this category and all all philosophies in this category inevitably will fall into a religion on the other hand we have the school of materialism which found that the material world is all there is is all there exists and exists independently of us and our ideas and that our idea that just a an imperfect reflection of this material world now Hegel was thanks Hegel was waging a struggle against it with the weaknesses of both of these camps at his time on the one hand he was struggling against the the rationalist idealist who who in their search for these eternal truths had competed cut off themselves from the real objective world by more or less denying his existence or our ability to interact with it and on the other hand he was fighting against the empiricists who believed that pure sense perception was all that human beings could l could deal with that knowledge in essence was just like an ever-increasing accumulation of facts more and more facts without really processing them without ordering them without having a system of categorizing and understanding regulations and the thinker who came with the philosopher came immediately before Hegel was Immanuel Kant who although he made some brilliant discoveries but his biggest contribution perhaps was his failed attempt to unite these two worlds and he these two camps and he ended up in a dualist philosophy ie and philosophy which accepted the real world as existing and independent of us but it also accepted the world of ideas and basically did not accept that these two have any connection with each other Kant said that although the world exists outside of outside of our reach and independently of us but we can never know the world as it is we can never know it or the thing in itself as he called it and it said our our minds of our kind of inhabited by these are priori ideas which he never explained where where they really came from now Contin ism as opposed to Hegelian ISM is very very popular in in Gujarat academia today but in philosophical terms it was dead-end from from the beginning now nevertheless or perhaps because of this it became the basis it was on the basis of the critique of Kant that Hegel developed his philosophy he dealt a devastating blow to Kant's idealism first sorry two kinds dualism firstly pointed out that if we're unable to perceive reality as it is and if we cannot prove the existence of anything that that we that we that we're experiencing then how can we be sure at all that it exists how can we be sure at all that anything outside of our mind I'll sort of our our being exists at all and if we don't know this then why we can't even bother writing all these books about this world of philosophy for people that he didn't really know we could prove existed or at least if they did maybe didn't even understand his language it doesn't do you know what he was doing write it scribbling on these these pieces of paper but Hegel went further he said that that philosophy and logic in particular is a is a special kind of science because what is it is is thinking about thinking and it's not just ordinary thought it's thinking about scientific thinking but in any other size you can make experiments you can come with hypothesis you can somehow test them out in the real world but how do you prove your thoughts are correct how do you either prove that this this thought this way of thinking is better than the other one because every man can come and say well in my brain the way I'm thinking my logic is better than yours and you have no way of proving it because we're just fighting it out in the world in our own heads now as long as philosophy Hegel said was kept within the realm of pure thinking but as long as thinking and thought was was kept kind of isolated from the real world from the objective world that we live in then it could never overcome this and it was and logic was always bound to have you know at best a very mechanical and rigid character so but he overcame this by replacing this dualism of [ __ ] with what he called absolute idealism what we would call objective idealism and what he said was that there is no distinction between the material world and the ideal world because everything is the ideal world everything is this idea this this absolute idea universal spirit yet several name first or although we never really explained what it was but that is all of the world and this this this artificial that the barrier that we have set up between our mind our thoughts and the real world that we see in experience are artificial and it's only by by removing them that we can actually test out our thoughts within the real world and prove them right or wrong now on the one hand sorry and so everything says everything that we sense an experience is a part of this this this world spirit of this world idea now the one hand this had a reactionary side to it because it it led obscurantism religious thought basically into into a Hegel's philosophy but at the same time we had a very very revolutionary side which meant which was that for the first time that we could begin to to deal with this ever-changing you know extremely complex an infinite world we could we could begin to develop our ideas on the basis of that and we can begin to develop general general laws and notions on the basis of observing this infinitely complex world of ours and we can and according to Hegel he could prove his logic by applying it to the real world and by studying the history of the sciences and thereby building a scientifically provable logic so according to Hegel his logic was just how to say the highest form of all the positive sciences which would eventually give it you know give its its flesh now continuing on criticizing the rationalist who argued that absolute truth existed outside of the material world and which could only be true it ain't by this pure type of thinking Hegel would say that this philosophical thinking only sorry who could never really you know even when we come up with these great ideas of eternal truths and eternal ideas big things like God and spirit but however big and grandiose you would you would portray them you could never ever really explain the infinite complexity and change and and an interconnection of the real world so here you had a world in the 1800s especially where science was taking these immense strides forward and all this immense wealth was coming to our head to our hands and the Philosopher's these philosophers in particular were building a wall around themselves and saying no no no we can't touch this we can't have anything to do with this we can't learn and isolate themselves from this new world of knowledge on the other hand you had the empiricists who argued that pure sense experience was all that was needed to understand the world and that no abstract thinking was was was really needed but they couldn't really explain anything either so how would you ever choose and prioritize and and recognize the relationship between this infinite amount of information that we're constantly dealt with even even an empiricist would never do that but you know because when I'm sitting here looking at you guys I'm not looking at this tiny speck of dust that's sitting here because although in a uniform of an empiricist way of thinking that's equal to all the other things that I'm watching you you guys and all the other things that we're talking about but no one would ever think about the world in those terms yes so Hegel argued that both of these assertions the fact that you can understand things by just general abstract ideas or just by looking at things empirically could explain you know had any deaths with him he for him they were both equally empty and the point of philosophy is exactly to sort out the infinite number of phenomena that we see and connect and are in touch with and make sense of them and see the the interconnections and the relationships and how they interact with each other and see all the these things which are not immediately visible to the naked eye now if for instance we take a chair let's let's take one look one of these chairs here I can see that well yeah that's the chair but in fact the picture of a chair that we all have in our minds would probably be nothing like this chair or any other chair that we would ever see anywhere else before with that chair that we have is kind of stripped off of its accidental elements and in fact in a way it's more true it's just the essence of what we recognize as a chair but yet it doesn't exist anywhere in the real world it's only an abstraction that we have made but at the same time this abstraction is only the abstraction made by you know throughout human experience of humanity of having having studied and seen chairs on how they work and come to the conclusion that this is the essence of a chair so within that abstraction itself every single chair that I've ever met and many many other people have had seen in their lives is is portrayed and in this way what is particular and what is universal is is is related that you in order to understand the particular we need to have any universal we all have every time we see a person the first thing is we don't go and see every single molecule every every you know tiny building way that they've built or build one way or another but we we actually we recognize them as this universal human being man woman or whatever with certain traits and then obviously then we begin to interact with them and you can see okay they also have other aspects that we need to that we need to look out for and in understanding them again we enrich our understanding of that universal general idea of a man we have the essence of human beings that we have and be and we begin to understand human beings on an even higher level now so for Hegel philosophical truth is concrete it's not something you you attain by sitting in your room sitting at the office just just writing and reading reading text books but it's something you attain by actually interacting with the world as it is and philosophical principles can't be predetermined in according to any you know in a schema and then pulled over the head of pasted on to the world and as we know it what he said was that in order to gain real knowledge what we need to do is to surrender ourselves to the world that we were trying to understand and discover the underlying laws and necessities that that that that dominated the laws and logics of his organic life so to say of the world and in doing so wills will begin to see that they're different patterns which replicate themselves throughout nature and throughout human society and once we begin to see this once once we begin to recognize these laws and this necessity which permits all of being all of all of nature all of talk of abstract freedom is immediately we can we can discard immediately real freedom according to Hegel is the understand of these laws which govern our nature and our society and the understanding of our place within within that society and within within nature but from this point of view all of these laws were merely the laws of the development of this so-called absolute spirit and you can say well this is something completely unhygienic because nowhere does this follow from his system nowhere if you know Hegel will say don't have any Priya don't presume anything go into the world discover it and discover its own inherent laws well if we do that we'll never gonna come across any form of absolute idea and in fact if you take the absolute spirit out of Hegel's work all the main points the essence of the main points they remain it's almost like a scaffold which is which is just left there after if they build a house but for Hegel the history of nature and human society is the history of this absolute spirit and this spirit at some point you know in prehistory it's become alien to itself whatever that means and it's now returning to itself through the development of nature and especially through the development of philosophy of course within Hegel himself the spirit finally finds full cognition and supposedly if history you know and history as a whole is beginning to come to an end so here we have the man you know Hegel's who struck a blow to all all scam matures and all formalism said nothing nothing is is absolute nothing remains for everything arises and passes away there's no system there's no schemas we cannot drag any schemas over the real world and yet he creates the biggest system of the ball and the most complex schema and tries to drag this onto the world although there's nowhere in the world any proof of the existence of such a absolute spirit but how can we explain why Hegel did that first of all we have time the senator hagel was a Christian and he came up through the school of German idealism the tradition that he that he belonged to a school of thought which at that time was far richer than the the British empirical school philosophy for instance and Hegel was looking at history and a society from the point of view of a philosopher and seeing his field as the driving force of history but also why was he doing that the society that he lived in Germany was perhaps the most backward the most backward society of of Europe because of the 30 Years War the development of Germany had been withheld German capitalism came late to the scene and he had this relatively backward country in which literature was the highest and most developed aspect and of course this form that this form the view that Hegel put it took to to society he saw himself philosophy and literature as the the you know the the decisive driving force of society and this is can he kind of imposed on the rest of philosophy the rest of history as well seeing the history of philosophy as the the driving force of all of societies at least that's my hypothesis yes but but the problem was also another one and then the time of Hegel was just before the great breakthroughs that we saw in science in the in the 19th century in chemistry in biology and geology all of these Sciences which took enormous steps forward and which proved the the dialectical method within nature that dialectical dialectics is the mode of development and mode of movement throughout of nature all of this was kind of a closed book to Hegel and the sciences that he had access to were for most part mechanical sciences such as mechanics or astronomy which at that time was you know sort of mechanic it was these great bodies and didn't go into they may be finer details of it yes and exactly because he anticipated all of these developments because he came before it his system ended up being flawed and it was Marx and Engels who had to salvage the revolutionary kernel of Hegel's philosophy and as they as they put it turn him right-side up now from a Marxist Marxist point of view there's not no such there's no difference between the ideal in the material world there is only the material world human beings and human mind is the product of matter at a certain stage organized in a particular way and our thoughts are just the imperfect reflection of that of that material world dialectics is not the laws of thought and idea which is then imposed or you know transcends all of nature but its inherent laws of nature themselves and by our interaction with this world and with with nature we're able to discover these laws now Lenin said that Marxism was Marxism was almighty because it's true and this sounds like a very prophetic and your religious statement but actually is very very profound thing to say my opinion because in that Marxism stands out from all other philosophies that came before it in that it's not a system that tries to impose a certain way of being on nature but sees nature and the laws of nature that we can deduce from it as the the its own content and therefore whatever nature and laws of human society shows us that that is the truth and that is what Marxism aims at incorporating interest principles and if it's not this our principles which will change and not the other one and therefore it can it can it's a method which can which can last in any any given situation in that sense it's also not a philosophy in the traditional form of philosophy it doesn't have a fixed game schema but it is more like a method of viewing the world and human society mankind from Marxist point of view is not but matter conscious of itself and it also follows its own it also it's also odd object to its own laws individuals obviously you know we think at least that we're free to make the choices and decisions we want to in our lives but if we take it just a little step back from a bird's eye view we immediately see that their iron laws which operate independently and often completely opposed to the Wills of every single individual I just I know there was there was a little confession I've been seeing about artificial intelligence but just the other day I was thinking about this this explosion of big data you know that big companies and now mining data of how we act and they know every single move moving and then they have these algorithms go through and find patterns in the way that we behave and these patterns are actually relatively effective in predicting what we're going to do at any given time and this is just the beginning of this this form of science the same we can say about psych psychology and other sciences it's only the beginnings of it but what we're beginning to see that that there are laws which control human behavior and human development that that individual conscious human beings are not really lords over now for instance the majority of ordinary people want to live a peaceful life and in fact probably the people who want to have who are the most determined to live a peaceful and calm life a constantly running into capitalism as an insurmountable obstacle to living this where every single day were pushed aside or we pushed at the job were put under all kinds of pressure in the family in society everywhere we go by capitalist society which impedes our very very you know modest wish wish to live a perfectly ordinary non-eventful and harmonious life and hence because of these pressures because the pressures of the crisis of capitalism puts on these people you see that the people who are most determined to live in normal and tranquil life pushed towards drawing more more radical and more more revolutionary conclusions contrary to their wishes and that in fact is the driving force of all revolutions the the time where this consciousness is conservative consciousness switches over and becomes a revolutionary one and catches up with the with the objective situation and if we look at human history the laws are even more striking and before anything human beings have to eat have to sleep and they have to subsist on themselves but in trying to do so we have to develop tools machinery and the means of production to do this essentially now at a certain stage in human society in the development of human society the development of these means of productions mean that we create a certain a little bit of a surplus value we begin to produce a little bit more than we can all consume and that means that a certain a small group of people are able to live without having tutorial day and night basic and that's when we see the rise of class society which on the one hand was was connected with enormous barbarism but on the other hand drove for a drop for human development immensely and at each stage of class society we see that the development of productive forces leads to enormous steps forward for Humanity humanity itself the the rise of class the early slave societies for instance especially with what we see in Greece coincides with the computer with the explosion of flowering of culture and philosophy on a completely unprecedented scale especially in ancient Greece but here again you know it we see that philosophy was not the the driving force of this movement the Hegel will say well the Greek had this beautiful artful spirit and that's why they reached this philosophy but the Greek philosophy was driven by the class contradictions which were rising in in Greek society itself and in fact we see that those class contradictions with within the Greek philosophers as well for instance the idealist camp we see the most you know determine or the most consistent idealist Plato and Pythagoras they were they were mainly from the aristocratic class and they had this idea that you do with it was a class and a complete dead end in a crisis and their ideas was all about escaping this world you know which is unreal and going to some other perfect world or which which is more real than the one that we live in now the other hand you had the materialist philosophers in ancient Greek come on mainly for the most part not not not all of them from the trading class from there you can say the the embryonic bourgeois class made of traders of sailors people who would travel who would study different Sciences and who would look at society from the point of view from a materialist point a point of view and it was within those that kind of context that these form of ideas essentially develop now of course slavery as well as lave society reached reach its apex in ancient Rome and buckle Dundas own contradictions and from his ruin we saw the rise of feudalism and from within feudalism we again saw the rise of capitalism and at each stage the development of a given class society develops to its full extent which then again leads to its downfall and it's super session by a new a new form of society and and also within each of these societies we should we see that the revolutionary classes carry within them carry with them their own revolutionary history capitalism is sorry philosophy revolutionary philosophy capitalism itself came to power on the basis of a very ferocious struggle against feudalism and religious obscurantism it came to power fighting fighting for the truth in light of you know shedding light on everything that was hypocritical and irrational in human society and it's victory was a huge step forward for Humanity as a whole and under its rule the the means of production was developed to the productive forces was developed to unheard levels which means that today essentially as we know we have all the means at our disposal potentially to solve all the main problems of humanity and raise all of humanity out of this this barbarism but the system itself is incapable of doing so and is instead pushing humanity further down this this line of this this line of barbarism and therefore it becomes irrational and it's no longer in fact is it's no longer in favor of the truth and the truth is the Marxist well now the who are the working class who is not a revolutionary class is the only standard bearer of the truth our philosophy is more than anything to find the truth because the truth essentially shows irrationality and the incompatibility of capitalist society with with the the whole of society and human progress as it is and within within capitalism of course the society creates its own gravediggers in the form of the working class which can once and for all lead humanity out of this this barbarism now freedom from Marx's point of view in this sense consists in recognizing this process he's recognizing that in spite of everything we try to do it you know all of us try to improve our lives and our immediate surroundings as best as we can some people go study some things some people go study engineering or to become doctors or something else they think or they find one way or another to improve their lives and push society forward the way they can but Marxist Marxism is the understanding that in whatever we do all of these things final analysis is going to be futile because we have this gigantic most monstrous obstacle therefore in form of capitalists property relation in front of us which impedes humanity from all of this this progress in general and therefore the only the freedom is the recognition of that the only true thing the only way to kind of spend our lives and spend our energy is to put it in the direction that that history is going already in the direction of overthrowing of capitalism of ending this dead end of class society and that it has reached and paving the way for a new society without classes - for true free development of human society [Applause]

okay I guess if anybody's connecting we should be we should be um should be on now let's see H not too many people have connected yet I hope they can uh let's wait a few minutes until maybe other people can um can join and I realize this may be a little hard for some but um it's interesting that the university has now cancelled in person classes so this this could help um so I'll just wait five minutes to see other people other people join I can't quite um oh let's see if I can see participants okay oh great okay than thank you guys for joining I guess for a moment I didn't know if anybody was on the other side of this uh this setup um so I welcome everyone thank you for um for yeah for trying this experiment I've never done it myself it took me a while to set up everything yesterday but it should be um it should be okay and I'm actually recording it which um which is good because actually I don't have a video yet for this particular assignment so people who are um um maybe not able to watch it now they can watch it later um let me know via chat if um um yeah if you have questions okay and I can try to monitor that and um and give you um feedback okay so uh um I'm going to switch to my uh drawing uh view let see if we can do that without too many uh glitches um I'm going to do a funny thing which is the camera is looking at me but instead it has to look at what I'm doing so let's see if we can do this okay here we go and yeah I had to flip the camera 180 and bring it over me so that looks pretty good um okay I feel like I'm doing one of those DVDs with commentaries um yeah okay oops so this is the drawing that we're going to be doing I'm going to um let's see um and it's a drawing of the cube and let's see if I have the same Cube no I don't but um so we're going to be drawing the cube with um the two halves of the cubes two views of it in isometric drawing okay which is that drawing using the uh the 303 oops the 3030 degree uh 30 60 rather 30 and 60 um triangle that we've used before and um I don't have uh you probably don't either at home especially a straight edge but I got myself a tsquare uh which I'm going to be sliding up and down in place of that which is actually quite practical um and if I didn't have that um I would use uh two triangles okay so another words I would use um one triangle like that and I would be sliding my other triangle this way to get my different um different lines okay um and I might switch back and forth to demo how that is done again um if you don't have a t square or the straight edge um so we're going to draw the um the cube and as you know or you should have checked by now that you're too um by the way if you if you still can go to school or want to go to school and retrieve your your uh your a um your rough Cube that would be great if not as long as you remember your section Your Design you should be able to do this drawing even without having the physical model anyway the two the two halves have to be exactly the same okay meaning when you look at them all the parts are identical what's high here it's high on the other one and low and low Etc and the two views we're going to do is one view where when you look at the cube it's going to be perfectly symmetrical um left to right okay so it's going to be a mirror image and um you'll see that with isometric views like this um some lines will become kind of not not so much three-dimensionally more so sometimes it might look funny but never mind um the other View view on the right side um is going to be turned 90° so then now we we have a view that's actually um that's actually asymmetrical so if I split this view down the middle uh the right side is going to be different looking than the uh than the left side okay so uh I'm just going to set up my paper um actually already have um and I'm not going to go through the process of drawing the uh the title block now but um I'm going to measure this uh I know they're two inches uh to the edge and so what you can do to set it up is actually draw two um two circles with radius of two Edge that's one way of doing it so I would draw two circles like that in the right spot and then I would draw inside that but let's let's see how we can do it both ways um by the way I just see that there's hidden lines in these drawings so we're not we're not going to draw hidden lines okay so I'm going to put it here no um do not draw hidden lines uh just because that comp Ates the drawing okay so I'm just going to take this as a reference and I'm I'm going to space my um my two views five inches apart okay um so actually why don't I do this right I will will at least even though I don't draw my um title block I will at least um uh Center them um top and top and top and bottom Etc so that's half inch half inch on the bottom again for the for the Tit for the border and then three quarters for the title block and that gives us s and a quar that right yeah okay just give me a second so s and a qu so that's three and a half um more or less in the center okay uh what I'll do as usual I'm going to go ahead and and draw pretty dark lines so they show up on screen um they might uh be too dark for a final drawing for you but for me this way you can see um so I measure my center and now I said that I need to do it at five uh 5 Ines apart so I mark five in and I'm going to um I'm now going to mark my centers like [Music] so and uh once in a while I'll bring back my chat view here so if somebody has a mess message please uh Justin you can hear uh try to turn on your volume on your computer um sorry if I use first names no my okay yeah uh because everybody else seems to be [Music] okay all right okay I'm going to zoom in a little bit so we can get a good it doesn't look Focus does it or maybe it's just me guess it's pretty good all right um might have to edit this video a little bit later okay so now I've got my centers again they're going to be five inches apart and centered within your drawing window right so what I was saying earlier about um doing two Circle it's just a nice way to set up um set up the um isometric because if you remember a cube in isometric drawing um the other frame is going to be an exagon so just because it's fun to do that I'm going to draw it uh and show you how we could could get that shape the beginning shape so and two let's see now I have to get the right yeah and then what I would do is point at the bottom of my Circ CES at the bottom Edge and do yet two more circles uh top and bottom like that and that sorry about the Expos are changing back and forth um okay I'm just going to double check I can probably edit this stuff out afterwards if um okay I'm just double checking to make sure that um other people are not having issues hearing me um um hold on let me just check one thing okay somebody's asking a white from the bottom well you have to center it okay you have to measure from the bottom of your from the top of your title block to um to the um let me just check here oh all right everybody sorry I'm just I'm just a little afraid that maybe perhaps you not be able to hear me but um okay great sounds like some people can hear me so that's good that means probably all the others should be able to hear me too uh so I'm just gonna I'm going to resume um somebody was asking how far from the bottom uh you got to do a little math but I think it's uh three and a half plus one um let's see I just measure my title block I'm going to draw it okay give me a second everyone so I can give the answer here um it doesn't matter that perfectly centered but it's um yeah it's three and five 3 and 516th [Music] yeah so if this is the um this is the Border um then from there is three and 516 okay and then from here to here it's 5 in and the radius is um 2 in okay the radius being your compass aperture um okay you don't really need the compass uh it's just kind of fine to know that you can draw the cube starting with the compass but um what I'm going to do now is I'm going to use this triangle that I have from my Italian days because it's lighter it doesn't mess up my my exposure so much okay um I'm going to zoom in because it's going to be easier to see just doesn't look sharp though I'm not sure if this camera has a a minimum um okay I'm going to I'm going to stay a little bit further out for now okay just bear with me I'll um actually this is too too big um all right so now if I use the um if I use the be the bottom here of the circle as my starting point and use my uh 30 60 triangle you'll see that um that my lines that I draw correspond to the U you know to the shape of an exagon and that's just the way the geometry Works um so that's the first thing you need to do once again just do it much lighter um because um because you need to darken only the uh you know the shape of your Cube um later not the construction lines all right I'm just going to go a little fast here so I can get I can get the main construction correct um and so you should be able to do everything um with your um 3060 triangle or and the and a straight edge uh but definitely don't do it kind of by hand so to speak um okay if you don't have the T Square use your other triangle like this the only trouble is every time you have to adjust first before you can actually draw your lines um okay I'm just still checking maybe it's just my screen that it doesn't look so sharp but but um hopefully it's okay um all right I'm going to move to some a little bit of a sketch now um so for this drawing even if you don't have your Cube uh what you want to have is your section right which you might have hopefully you remember it see okay so if you if this is your section in this case uh yeah like that then what you need to do definitely is have a little um have a little storyboard of how your section is going to work um okay so then I have to turn it remember to always have tracing paper because it's going to be easier to do everything um so if you remember this is how we did it we we mirrored the left part onto the right side and then we took the entire shape and we rotate 180 over to the other side so that's that's the other part so now I can just okay so that's now my storyboard which I definitely want to keep handy because um it will help us to find our way as we draw the cube okay I'm also going to draw the grid and that way again I know I know where I am I'm going to draw my um my folds okay and I'm going to call this one and I'm going to move that way in my um in my steps okay um let me just see if I have all right so the trick now of course is to draw this this this path right um which is going to come around this way on these faces so it's it's not so hard to do it on the faces in front because let's say this is number one actually let's not just say it let's say it is it is definitely like that three and four are going to be from the back okay okay so I'll do it eventually with the triangle but um if you have a grid here right with the same angles um I can easily plot let's say if I start here right I can easily plot that because I can just find my spots um and then I come around from there I pick it up and I would end up with something let's see that looks like that okay so that's the outside of the left and right view which is number one and number two and um now the center of your cube is the center of the exagon the center of the shape okay so if I put my Cube together like that sorry this is a little too big um and it's a little bit distorted now but if I were to look at it yeah this way right uh my Center the center of the cube which I cannot see well actually I can't see it if I do this is but corresponds to the center of of this of the full cube if I was if if I was not you know splitting it okay so just remember once you do the outside you can um you can simply connect the u the points on the edges of your Cube to the center so basically I would just go like that okay and again if you have the cube it might help but okay now the trick is on the other side so on the other side um actually yesterday as I was setting this up I came up with a pretty good I think uh way to simplify the process but um tracing paper again helps what you need to do now is you need to come around and draw a grid on that backside and of course things are going to start getting a little a little um tricky because we have to you know imagine that we're going backwards and the way I used to do it is okay I have this but here's where tracing paper becomes beautiful because you have these layers and you can just highlight what you need um okay like that see now if by doing by using Tracer paper I've magically now removed the Grid on the um on my two front faces so I get less confused because I want to focus on the grid on the right side anyway at this point I've reached Halfway Around the Globe around the cube um so I'm here and the way I used to do it is I used to do it simply like Battleship if you ever played Battleship I'm moving this way and I know that I can that I need to go two across and one down so from this spot I go two across and one down so it happens to match that point all well never mind so we'll just mark it there then I need to go up to and across one so up to and across one so that would be up two and across one so that would be here and then the last one is across and down one cross and down one so now I'm going to use a different color and you could do this if you're um um you know if you're sketching it so notice how of course this line matches this line so that's okay um and then I would just continue so if I if I make my grid um if I make my grid now on this side and again I can isolate it because I have tracing paper uh right now I'm here I need to keep going so I need to go one over and one down one over sorry I need to go across and up one across and up then down two and across one so back to there and then it's going to end up at the same place and this is actually a little bit harder because it's the symmetrical view um okay so that's now my back and I can connect all those lines as well um and because of the geometry you see that the cube looks a little funny right it looks a little flat in a way because all these lines match um so why don't I do the second one uh so this is the in the drawing in my drawing this would be this view okay all right um the other one will be the one that I'm going to draw now on this side so let let's try to do the other um the other Cube so I'm going to draw it on going I keep my story board um there right because again that's very important um so this was the view I just drew okay like that symmetrical and now I'm going to turn my module and I'm just going to turn it 90° let's see yeah 90 Dees this way um and that's going to be my second view so two is going to be on the left and three face number three is going to be on the right um and so what that means is that now I take my starting point to be uh to be number two okay so I start I start my trip at number two so let's do that without even looking at the cube anymore um see if we can draw it okay uh this helps by the way even if you know again to just sketch it by hand um so I start with the Grid on the left and on the right um and again that's my starting point right remember because we turned the cube 90° so two is going to be here now and that's going to be three that's going to be four and that's going to be one from behind um so my starting point then is there so I'm here I go and now I can just again quickly plot my my points um and then connect them uh now I'm here I go down to well I can see it like that like that so again the front is easy right relatively easy um but as soon as I do it I can again immediately connect because if I have those lines I might as well so uh if you recall this is one of those examples where these two faces are actually part of the same plane so I'm going to skip drawing this line right this cube is constructed with that line but um um but in fact uh we're not going to show it because we're going to construct it with one big piece um so that would be this line right here right there um so instead I'm going to connect all the other lines all right and this would be one big area uh because I'm doing this by hand now I can't predict exactly how the the exact that geometric drawing will be I'm going to guess that this maybe it's a little bit under so when we have these situations now um it's going to give us a little bit of a better depth oops sorry no this one definitely connects there was this other one um yeah I'm not sure exactly okay so now I do the same thing with the tracing paper I go over I draw my grid on face number three uh let me just quickly check my chat just to see if there is a there's any questions no okay good um okay so again this is now easy because I can I isolate that phase so I'm now at number three I am at this spot sorry I'm at number four so I'm I'm at actually uh yeah I'm in the middle here so I go up across and up one yeah there we go so now we're going to start seeing something a little more interesting um then across one and down two across one and down two and then up and across to to here okay I'm going to now draw these lightly okay and again you can see how it's easier to just isolate with tracing paper I we'll now do the Grid on my left side to finish and it's uh 105 so I'll see if I can finish this before the break um so now I'm at the end of number four in the back here I have to go back to the other side so now I'm at one and again if I use this technique of the battleship or a little ant that moves around this you know almost like a maze and doesn't really know doesn't see above the ground uh it's a way to isolate the uh the problem so if I'm here uh actually I'm in the wrong spot there am I not yeah because actually this is wrong just give me a second okay that should have gone there this should have gone here okay so I'm in the middle I have to go across and up one this I keep going this way right so across two and up sorry from here it's revers right here I'm going this way but here I'm going around the cube so I'm at the half Point here number four so I'm here two across and one up right there down two and then I connect back to the other one one okay and now I can connect again to the uh to the center some lines yeah so now it's it's time to just sort of see what my be visible and what might not and it's getting a little messy so I will I will um I will start with the front again just highlighting the part that for sure is is correct and then I'll finish the back with the information that I have and if you make a mistake it's just tracing paper right so we can okay so that's my view from that side and now we get a lot more dimensionality because of the asymmetric View and because we don't get um lines that are perfectly um you know lining up in a kind of flat geometric shape um okay so um actually let's do this and we started a little later let me show now a trick that I um yeah that I thought about um that was that I can um I'm going to use my grid rather I'm going to use my Cube um so you may or may not need this depending on how uh clearly you can see your drawing but um uh what you could do to draw your little storyboard in an easy way that you can then do your final uh so that you know it's perfect and it's exact you could um does it fit there yeah I can do this okay um you could actually sketch um almost like a a ribbon the shape at an angle already okay so what I'm going to do now is let's do the number two because that one is um let's do this one because this one is more interesting um so again I'm here if I draw my grid like this again is a sketch and I suppose you could do this as I'm doing it now you get a more precise drawing um all right so where are we so we're here so I start drawing it yeah my pencil is very dull so I'm going to sharpen it which will give me a chance to show how to sharpen your pencil um if you're doing sketching if you're not using the mechanical pencil um that is by pushing the blade rather than moving it with your right hand and pushing it with my left hand and that way you have more control all right so now we're here I keep going down yeah this would be great actually draw your your other Cube and then do the sketch before um before doing the final anyway here's what I thought because now we have to go around I can do a distorted version of um my storyboard um let's see I have to wrap my paper around the cube right so this is not my Cube I'm going to go around so what I can do is I can actually fold this paper along this Edge along this Edge so this actually pretty cool the first time that I talk about it could be helpful for many other things um now if I look at my Cube okay that's like this I know that um hold on a second okay so now I can draw the other side but even if I don't know exactly how it is um no actually you do need the story board and now we're going to make the same story board with this funny up and down zigzag shape meaning um that I can fold this this is going to be my back right so now I'm just going around my Cube literally but before I do that why don't I just um repeat these two shapes on the side here and with that with the remaining two shapes so let's see if I can do that or rather I've just drawn these two shapes right here I need to draw these other two so how would I do that because it's going around the corner I just need to go up and down in a zigzag fashion so I'm going to copy I'm going to sketch my and let's see if I'm right I don't know this could be a flop but let's try it so essentially I'm drawing a kind of flattened out isometric and for the other one I do the opposite um so for the other one I do here okay so now as I I draw this correctly here as I go around the cubes and then as I turn it that should give me the correct view on the other side now I can't see it because it's light no actually that did not work CU I went the wrong way what is that yeah that doesn't work okay rewind the tape for a moment well I guess it was the first time I was trying it um normally it's break time but let give me 10 more minutes okay since we started later um and so interesting let's try it again instead I'm going to keep going you know profession like that and this will be the other panel same on this [Music] side okay so now I have my storyboard at the top I'm doing it this way let's see if it works if I fold it and if I fold it now yes I get my Cube on the back that is beautiful I think anyway because now if I draw let me make this a little smaller again because I can simply now copy my story board actually and I can just keep going this way so we said that this was going to be number two number three number four and number one for the asymmetrical view um and so let's finish copying that that pattern onto my angled view oops oops oops right and we're going to do the same I do this right yes and then here and there so I'll copy this copy that there we go okay so why don't I actually now darken this so I can really see it and I'm going to highlight my Corners too my folds or my hinges okay so I now P it I got it's a funny Cube if you were to look at it you know of course as a real Cube um right but in terms of working it works no I cannect to the wrong line again there with me for a second that's not right too low H instead it should be in the middle there like that right and here it's correct yeah if I now fold my pieces I get that I'm seeking okay so what I'll do now is I'll put this away for a moment and um in order to draw it uh to see what's visible and what's not I try not to actually um I try not to worry about it and um draw all the lines first okay so let's do yet another piece of trace and I'll start from the front because that's what I see right so it's easier so I'm just going to connect from the front from the spots on the front uh and also what's already on the front faces because I know for sure that's going to be um um that's going to be visible now the rest I'm a little bit undecided but what you could try to do is just just connected a little bit um just very light lightly and you could connect all the lines yeah here we are and you can even draw them like that you could just draw the all the lines connect all the lines and then just decide try and era to see what's really visible so I can I can see that that's going to be in front of these other bits in the back okay so that's my Cube so this approach will let you um kind of solve the correct view with this with these steps okay so that's great because now I can simply duplicate this drawing on my geometric you know on my good drawing um and I don't have to do you know a lot of guessing uh yes this is correct okay so uh let's take a 10 minute break not 15 but 10 minutes right here um so 10 minute break and we come back at 10:30 okay and then if we finish early um we'll just uh I I'll leave the connection open for questions if people have questions um so we'll come back at 10:30 um and then we'll just you know we'll just you know if other people have to go that's okay okay but uh but do come back after 10 minutes now so that we can um we can uh we can finish it okay thanks everyone I'll I'll um I'll see if if the chat is telling me anything I don't think so okay great so um I'll I'll go ahead and um let's see I'll go ahead and stop the recording all right but I'll leave the video on um actually I can pause it amazing okay hi everyone we're back um just so you know I'm going to try to record this in the afternoon as well so uh this recording is not good uh hopefully the second one will be um anyway I'm just going to quickly draw the um the uh the cubes now with with the ruler and and the triangle and I I I should try to move pretty fast since now we we we know the solution um and also maybe I'll just say a couple of things about the um the rough Cube which if you can get from school that would probably help however please do not go there if you feel like you would be you know unsafe or at risk of getting anything um and uh yeah and don't worry about deadlines okay I'll I'll have to revise whatever the deadlines are going to be uh including the final Cube and we'll just you know we'll just stick the drawings in instead of the um you know constructure I mean of course you can keep working on it if you can um and those videos are already on on YouTube so you can already consult those for the uh uh for how to construct the final Cube all right I'm going to switch back again I'm going to do this sumersault thingy again and let see and we're back on table here um so what we did earlier um was actually pretty cool because we first drew a little storyboard which is is good to have just just in terms of um uh just having a you know a reference right a reference drawing that tells exactly where we are every time and then after we did that and we have our diagram here um that's going to be our um let's see if I can adjust a little better this is going to be our technical drawing those two exagon which are going to become cubes [Music] um and um but before we do that because it would be a little hard to figure out especially the um the back side of the cube how to draw that the front is kind of there in front of you so it's easier um and so therefore even in a sketch like this it's easy to draw easier to draw that part but the back part would be hard and so we came up with this uh Nifty little trick that's basically doing a little bit of a wraparound of CBE um some kind of funny stretch little Cube which however weird um it actually really really works because we could we just duplicated the uh pattern on our 30° uh view again as a reminder that's these 30 Dees right um then we could simply flip this back because we know we need to go around but we can't go around in our drawing it's just impossible um unless we drawn glass and we no that wouldn't work either anyway this is a Nifty way to go around the cube uh because in fact if I now pull this back I was able to see kind of you know in an x-ray View and then yet with more tracing paper we were able to um yeah just to get um all the information that we needed to do and then trial and error we figured out the pattern so now that I have this pattern um this point actually might help to draw my grid back on the front as well so why don't I do that um look a little smaller that's that's the real thing okay it's getting a little confused there um yeah so this is this is my nice Cube which again using tracing paper I could I could figure out um and uh you still have to draw the Grid in terms of where the parts are going to be on our other the drawing but then it's going to be much easier to then do the final drawing okay so I won't redraw the grid here but instead I'll draw it now on the drag um for the repeat this process for the left view is this remember this was this view right here and this view is going to be the view on the right side I'm not going to do it now in the interest of time um also because this drawing is quite a bit easier I think maybe not um but [Music] um this this will help I mean I kind of know that I do get this a little funny flat figure okay but I could repeat this process um keep this process for the uh for the other one and actually why don't we do it why don't we do that because this we're going backwards now but we will need that as well so quickly redraw my grid this ribbon um sketch and in general this is a great way to just plant stuff it's just I mean unless again you're kind of some special um mind uh it's so hard to visualize all these steps all these things and that's so through in many other processes as well so you need to break it down and you need to figure out some tools that allow you to solve the problems at hand um you know with what you have in this case what we have is not SketchUp or AutoCAD or anything like that we just have tracing paper which is um which is pretty amazing so now that I have that I'm actually going to do my uh my first view okay I'm going to do this View for that view I was going to start at number one and go around to number two which here is going to be these first ones right um meaning those are the ones in the front Okay so I'm looking at this thing here um so that would be number one and this will be looking at number two so number one here um I'm not going to do the whole Battleship thing again I hope I can get it right without uh speaking about it let's see okay and and I get that right it's funny I got it wrong as a matter of fact so we'll fix it maybe I should play Battleship but little stubborn right now I don't want to play I just want to draw it so then I keep going right um one two now let's see uh this is a good interesting problem now here I know that's number three let's see one two three and four yeah I think it's right um so it should be symmetrical right wrong again oh boy two some here i' I thought I could do without bottle shap but I have to see yeah okay I think I'm getting there um so that was three so now four should be on this side um yeah so four should be there which I guess it could help if I do this um and I keep going the the beauty about this is that we're doing everything in the front in other words was everything has become the front and we don't have to go around right it's really literally opening up a house you know if you were to flatten out the walls of a house um so let's see if I can yeah that that looks good now because it's symmetrical um okay so now I'm going to speed up the since we have already done it before um but it helps helps again if I draw my my folds maybe my outline that and now I can my funny scretch Cube so that's it and as you can see it's looking already very symmetrical so again with another piece of Trace um and of course again if you have your Cube you can also look at it right um but it's possible to do it without having the cube so again I'm looking at his Edge right and I'm going to do again everything that's in the front because I know for sure that I'm going to be able to see that um second as soon as I do my front um I just connect all the lines going from that from that front to the center and again the center of the cube is smack in the middle um because I know I'll be able to see that everything else might be hidden but that part I do see right in the front there um and now because my outer uh the back of the cube you can see I can I can pretty much already see that there's not much there meaning these are the only other outer border that I see and so that confirms that you know the shape of this other view is like that um so once again the left view on your drawing is going to look a little flat because of the overlapping um of the lines so in other words because everything matches in isometric drawing um this line happens to match you know these lines as well if we had a different angle you know we might be able to see you know perhaps like like that perhaps um yeah there would be already a little bit more of uh clues for depth which we get later when we do the other one or rather we we did earlier rather than later um uh but even so even in this view uh yeah that's right in this view we have we see more and things are a little more three-dimensional uh looking okay so that's it so now we have and the right and if you have a little bit of Scotch tape you can do um how you make your make your space a little more manageable um get rid of everything else at this point probably don't even need that anymore but you never know so I'll put it out of the frame for a moment so this is how the drawing is going to look on the page okay um and and what I'll do is I'll leave the construction lines behind because again it makes it look uh nicer looking okay so now I'll just draw it um so this will will be a little well there won't be much to say except that you need to construct it again using your um your triangles so I'll go ahead and and and draw the grid um actually let me give you a couple of tips on how to draw it without measuring too much again okay try to minimize your work um so if I if I have my Cube that is um set up okay and this is 30° because it's given by my um my 3060 triangle the other being 60 right here um then I can really because of the geometry I can really take advantage of that not only I can do my horizontal lines meaning those are an angle like this and my vertical lines like this but I can also use this other angle given that this is flat to do diagonals and if I have diagonals here's what I can do if I measure here let's say I have uh it's two so this are going to be half inch half inch half inch um I can quickly do my my lines this way here okay but then instead of measuring here I don't measure I can I can use my triangle like this and and this is going to give me the diagonal is going to give me now this is not precise but it's going to give my my other breaks okay so you can do this grid really really fast without U measuring in fact I think you just need to measure once and that's it so let's try it for ease for myself now again in the interest of time um I am I am going to use my uh tsquare okay um but if I didn't have the T Square again what I would do is I would use my two triangles like this I would have to set them up every time it's a lot more work um and by the way if you can definitely get a um a uh a drafting board I looked at up really expensive for some reason um like 50 bucks 60 bucks which is terrible but anyway it's a piece of nice plywood and it's got a um I think it's shaped like that it's got a metal Edge so that the board doesn't work um and it's a very very nice surface and I think uh it's about as big as this my board right now so it's I think it's 24 by 18 um 18 by 24 yeah artboard I mean it's it's always going to be you know you buy it forever once you buy it um okay um and you could prop it you know with something in the on the side to have you know to have an angle right okay so let's draw these grids um before I start let me um quickly check to see if there is um there is any questions okay nope no questions okay okay all right so once again I will draw my lines fairly dark um you should try to do them as light as possible really U just because that's that's that's nice you see them see them a little bit just enough for the um okay let me adjust this a little bit trying to get this to be square i w edit this out later sorry I don't know why it's not okay I think I have to one one reason that my line should be darker is probably cuz I can probably um the camera can probably focus a little better okay I'll um I'll redraw my um my outer Cube umop okay um yeah so I'll measure you can really measure anywhere uh on any of the edges so I'll measure on this Edge uh for markings which are going to be a half inch each um draw my grid okay yeah I think the camera is a little bit challenged by the focusing here but um so here you can see how quickly I can now um do my my other lines I can draw a diagonal across like that and that gives me the inner points okay um see so now I just I just utilize all the information I already have in this case I had the divisions here um now I can use this other angle to get the other diagonal and I get the crossings realize I'm going a little fast but by doing this diagonal whatever crosses my horizontal lines horizontal in in our oblique view um I get the grid um and now I could I could start so oh I realize I never colors together let me just do that so I have it as a reference here and [Music] um and I'll leave it up there so that's it and now I can start basically drawing my Cube um on the outside in this particular case and I can do that just just because it gives me a nice sense of um you know having accomplished something um it turns out uh well in this particular case I I really can use my triangle a lot the existing angles you might have to uh move it around a little bit but right it just it just happens to match my um and I managed to make a mistake it doesn't match well this is great because I'm making lots of mistakes which tells you that it's you know you just have to pay a little more attention I guess um so now at the top in a way because of this particular drawing I don't really need to draw the Grid on the back but actually why don't I do it otherwise it's going to look funny I was just going to say you can use those spots there but let's quickly draw it and the DI and the verticals here happen to be pretty much the extensions of the ones in the front they're the same thing really um I'm doing it fast now because I like to finish before we we close but um but you should take your time right I'm just being a little bit um so now I look at the drawing and I see where am I well I really don't know so if I put this on top how about that I know exactly what I need to be right because I can just quickly visualize it um yeah those were the last two spots because now I connect everything and remember how your lines are um you know going across your Cube kind of from opposite corners and they make straight lines every line going through the center so the same same is true in the drawing here the lines are going to be straight lines going from opposite ends of your design um this line happens to be a horizontal line so there's not much to that one and maybe you want to darken your lines said that they're all they're all the same oh that wasn't too bad that was about minutes make sure you darken your outer edges of your um tube U now of course I'm not crossing the lines right and again I I start from the one one end and then I start from the opposite end and I kind of M in the middle because that allows me to make really sharp um sharp meeting points okay that's the last one my grid again is very dark so the lines are a little bit [Music] um you know my actual cube is still a little bit light relative to the lines so in yours if you keep your lines light should really be standing out that's why I'm I am um I still need to the center line so I'm going to do that that's my left view okay so now let's do the other one which which is again visually a little more interesting because it reveals a little bit more the shape of the cube um so if I can do this in about 10 minutes then we can um 10 15 minutes we can leave the remaining half hour of the class for just uh I'll just leave it open in case um in case somebody has questions and and if you after that or after this if you have to go um I'll know that you're gone I guess from looking at your your um I don't know where I look actually I have no idea I'll look at the chat box I guess I don't know okay so that out for a moment so I'm going to quickly redraw my grid so what I did was I marked I marked Four Points um Four Points here at the bottom and I just bring them up now and because I know actually I'm going to need my verticals also on the back side I'm just going to go ahead and do these vertical lines all the way up might as well and for this one I'm going to leave them a little lighter okay even though you're not going to see them uh so notice now how I don't need to measure anymore at all um because let's see because yeah I can do this to get my spots on verticals to give me the horizontal Crossings then I pick them from here and I wrap them around uh this process by the way we use the same process when we do some perspectives and um you know and this idea of having the Grid on the oblique faces like this uh will apply also when the lines actually won't be parallel anymore but they'll they'll converge um the fact that the diagonals will behave in the same perspective way okay yeah something happened here that I don't like this this Square doesn't look very Square what happened there just just rushing it a little bit here and my my dimensions are a little bit off okay that doesn't not happy about that wonder why back yeah the top one got somewhat expanded I'm going to I'm going to fix it because I don't like it I don't like to look at it meaning I'll just do a double line no actually I'll just erase it how about that all right almost there I hope the video is sharp enough for some reason it looks a little a little fuzzy um maybe if I zoom out a little bit yeah that might help okay I will need yeah I will need the Grid on the back there too so I'm going to go ahead and do that again picking up the lines from wherever I have a reference for [Music] them and I said I would I would bring this up but I didn't so I have to do that like that okay so now that's it that's what I need to draw again I start on the other part because it's the simplest so let's just put it there and let's draw why don't I overlap it on the other cube right here um this part to this part yeah sometimes the line the triangle happens to match what you need to draw if you're not sure you can do these lines light and then go back and darken them later F why don't I do that I do this yeah it's definitely so much easier to just have this in place so you don't have to guess you just know it's in the right spot so okay now I have to be careful not to think that my angle on the triangle is correct and instead instead always refer back to my sketch right here sometimes it is as in this case I have to go up I'm already going in the back here I'm jumping the gun a little bit so let me step back try to finish the front first more relaxed about it just to make me feel good I'm going to do the base of the cube I'm going to draw it I get something accomplished by the way I I did notice as I was doing these drawings that yeah this paper somehow catches catches the graphite more than really is desired um I did a test on another type of paper called vellum uh which is the same or like marker paper that industrial designers use and it was much more free of that uh problem um okay so I already have my solution so I can start yeah just building I can see basically this corner this corner that corner and that corner connect and everything else is going to be hidden behind so that's my Center I have to remember remember to not draw disconnecting line right remember yeah it's this line right here that we have in our cube in this particular Cube which was not optimized but we want to have um if we do it right all right okay so we go to the center of the cube with all our Corners except again this one I think I made a mistake there did I no not okay something is not yeah because I made that earlier no I guess it's okay I have sorry everyone I have to check because I think I might have um that's the Half Point yeah yeah yeah I made a mistake here oops I didn't go high enough [Music] um that's not fine what did I seems a little low at this point it should be a little bit above maybe not actually what it should be is just that it matches um feel like I've yeah this line goes there and this line goes okay sorry everyone I'm I'm a little there's something that's not quite looking right there um so I will try to fix that um to fix it by quickly seeing if I can if I can see what problem was let to go down [Music] there okay I think it's right it's just yeah this line just happens to match which is which is not great but okay I'm just doing a quick check here go like that goes like that yeah okay so this line actually matches so my mistake here was that um that this is a continuous line okay sorry for the little y yeah I would have because I was thinking this shouldn't have been kind of a flat spot right there I tell you what we'll I'll double check in the afternoon and if if this is um incorrect but I think it's correct I will I will fix it later I will I will I will double check during lunch um okay so let me try to finish it the lines that again we said are visible I should probably practice this with the same drawing every single time but that's kind of boring so so from that spot to this spot nice thing is that excuse me parallel lines stay parallel right so this line is going to be parallel there I'm going to that spot and you can see again they stay parallel right this line right there is going to be parallel to that line yeah okay I think it's right I'm I'm still not happy about that but that might just be the way the way worked out um and uh your Cube I'm sure will look different so let me let me just darken it a little bit more so as I finish this um so for the cube project again the the last Pro the last part is really doing the final right but um I realize that you might need help so let's just play by ear in terms of um you know if and when that is due and etc etc etc there are videos on it in I learn um and I I'll I can do another demo like this um but um we might just have to switch to drawings only um but let's keep it flexible okay so just bear bear with me in the situation until until we'll know more what semester is going to shape um I mean one thing that might happen is that we just um you know that everything might be doe at the end if things linger more than we wish for okay so this is it um I'll live it up like this and let me check my chat thing again okay so I will just [Music] um I'll just leave this on until uh yeah 11:45 um but I'll probably see you if you if if people log out out um at that point I'll probably stop anything the recording in any case uh I'll leave it on just in case I need to explain something more um for the recording uh thank you for um you know joining in and if you know some people that couldn't join and I can see I don't think everybody did uh tell them they can join this afternoon again I'll basically redo this thing again um at 1:30 so half hour okay all right thanks again everyone bye-bye again I'll leave it on so um somebody still needs um needs help or has questions okay all right take care okay yeah I think the view is correct it just looks a little [Music] for e for [Music] for okay I'll go ahead and stop the recording now and just for the record today is Tuesday March 10th 2020 and we are we were video zooming from home I was doing the lecture from home because uh I'd already decided actually before the university cancelled in person classes yesterday I decided a few days before that we would do this for the next two weeks so all right I will see you in the afternoon the others

LHY: Combat and bits...The Last Hundred Yards
again yes it's time to do a little video if I can just adjust the camera forcefully crushing it down into place alrighty welcome back the big board it's the the LTH why the last hundred yards from GMT games it's a I think it's a first time designed by Mike Henson and my understanding is that he is a but Sherman who understands military conflict and has built something pretty close to being unique I'm not gonna say that I love it yet because we're we're four turns into the first scenario I haven't used mortars or tanks or anything yet so I just thought it would be fun just to talk a little bit now now that I understand the importance of sequence of play and not skipping things when you're playing solo that how how this kind of how this kind of works in my mind anyway it may not be actually how it works but I thought I'd share a little bit with you anyway just so you get a feel for it you know it was $37 on the pre-order which to my mind is pretty cheap and impressive there's a lot of counters there's a lot of information counters and stuff but you don't really use all of them all at once so it's kind of cool I've got the control markers out because hey makes taking the pictures easier and helps me remind remind myself of writing things up so let's walk through a little bit of a turn to the extent that I can do it without confusing you any further initially you roll for initiative and whoever wins is the active player whoever loses the initiative die roll is the reaction player and you activate by platoon now you can activate multiple platoons together if you you know roll some a coordination role and stuff like that I've been doing things one at a time one platoon at a time just so I can you know get the feel for it and all that sort of good stuff so first things first we we moved this unit from here to here these guys were here I guess and went one two three and moved over to here and then we looked at the other formation the other platoon over here and these guys didn't do anything because they were looking for opportunity to to react to what the Americans might do but they did move one squad one two three after here and then they conducted a recovery action for this guy and a recovery action for this guy because they were both suppressed or disrupted as they call it and you know disrupted his life being shaken in Lock and Load whatever it is in ASL I forget the terminology broken in in combat commander and whatever other games you might play it has very specific effects and we don't mean to get into that right now but suffice to say that they were disrupted and you're not in good shape if you're disrupted yeah so there you go now I just realized something I did forget to do one thing I'm gonna grab a tie and a roll into oh shoot okay well that's gonna put everything on hold I roll the 10 for recovery I have to do I believe I have to do this recovery action for this guy because he's disrupted and he's the reacting player it's one of those mandatory things you have to do I'm rolling a 10 usually you've got to roll underneath your number here but when you roll the 10 you've become you've become a hero you become heroic and you do stupid things so we're gonna just job we're just gonna leave assume that didn't happen for the moment and set it aside and we're gonna look at what happens so these guys moved these guys decided that they would fire these guys and these guys were recovered oh that's right they that were disrupted they moved and these guys moved and I think that was about it I think there was everything that happened because these other guys were covered so oh that's right and so these guys these chaps then so these folks often is moving and then we go to reaction phase and the Americans go ah well it's my reaction phase excellent I am going to I am going to use this squad to fire at this guy so that's what he did and these guys so then that was all their reaction now obviously the the one reaction they didn't do was this which just to complicate matters this squad and leader were here were here they they reaction moved one to two movement points boom into here now they can do that because of what the rules say I can't find the rule right now and I don't want to waste time flicking pages but basically if you've got someone in the line of sight or something equivalent or you're being shot at or whatever the case may be you can react I think that's what the rule is so don't take me don't take that for granted I'm more interested in showing you the combat resolution than anything else so let's see these fellas said they were going to fire these guys so we put a marker on here and nets out to being they've got a firepower of one they these guys were in the woods so they get a minus one they're all within range no penalty range penalties but you know what they might get it they they moved they move they move they moved hang on a second it's not going to make a difference to the result but they moved and it would have been I just got to keep track of it for my aar where is the chart dang it yeah mark huh got maneuvered within two hexes so that's what that would have been a one so let me just make a note of that all right so they declared this fire these guys to clear this fire and got a 1 on that this is a small-arms drm and what that does what why that's a 1 is because we have 1/5 power or 1 small arms value and they are within 2 so they get one for that and they lose one for some reason why do they lose one on this was it - that's right oh that's right it's a it's a 2 for the moment right it's a 2 for the moment and what ends up happening is that's their their reaction Rolfie down here and his squad they go oh look these guys are firing these guys we want to stop that we're gonna suppress them so they're gonna fire these dudes and then it ends up being a minus 1 because it's 1/5 power minus 1 for the building and that makes it 0 and then minus 1 for range and so they're at a at a 0 that have minus 1 I'm really doing a crappy job design but never mind now that now because when we go to so that's it and let's everyone's done all the reactions and neither side wants to do any more reacting because I have any more guys to do reacting with I have once had their little bit of fun now we go to the fire resolution phase and we look at this we go yeah okay this guy is firing this guy but he's being fired upon that's gonna change his combat value because you know he's stuck in a weave and while he's trying to shoot so he's gonna lose 1 for that so it becomes a 1 well it's a d-10 based combat resolution we rolled well there we rolled a 9 there so he's disrupted and let me see it's equal to is equal to a greater than 10 so the extra 1 there might have made that casualty so I'm going to put a little block on that I mean just double-check that later on I'll make sure that we know what was that one of the row it was that's why I said it was 1 and here we missed because I rolled a 4 and then here these guys fired and I'm sorry these guys fired these guys in rolled a 5 and these guys are all the 4 but we now have to resolve this little issue here and I think being heroic is a bad thing so it can make you do silly things but I'm not going to get into that at the moment I'm going to I'm gonna go read those rules and we'll come back and we'll do a separate video on whatever heroic actions the second platoons third squad decides to do but that in essence is a is a turn we would do assault resolution after that we would do more to fire adjustment after that we would do the time lapse after that and then the cleanup phase and that's a turn so the die roll for that time lapse we elapsed another four minutes so we've had 20 minutes of game time so far all right that's all I wanted to share with you from the moment I'm gonna go deal with my heroic action and we'll come back to you and talk to you in a little while all the best

Fascist Harasses Tucker Carlson in Store, Settle down, Son.
a fishing shop in montana with your family maybe your daughter maybe your kids who knows and all you're trying to do is buy some fishing equipment when behold you are confronted by the apple pregnant man emoji so as you know a lot of you saw yesterday probably talker carl hey roomster go in the house okay go in the house okay get mom real quick but she's right there moot daughter daughter's trying to get a little uh little cameo she's going with mom right now yes ma'am you you can come here but you're not wearing a shirt you got to wear clothes roomy room you got to put a shirt on so speaking of which i have kids so i would um i would not be very happy at all if someone who looked like this came in and started harassing me let's watch it i want you to do this settle down son i love how i love how the man i love how the man gets triggered when he's told settle down son but this is you know these are the times that we live in now this is the world that we live in where you can't even go to a house you can't even go leave your house without people harassing you and of course this was a setup a lot of people found that guy's social media account and there's certainly a lot of interesting things about the guys so the idea that that was an organic event and not a staged not staged rather but rather set up it was a real event but that guy was there trying to create drama but this is really you know the world that we live in right now and it's unfortunate because i don't know what i don't know where they think this i don't know i don't know where they think it ends i guess is what is perplexing to me i know generally speaking right that i would never go up to a man near his family ever i don't care he liberal conservative politics aside i would never do that because how many ways can that go wrong right especially if tucker's daughter is on the younger side what what do you think is going to happen right but that guy of course who again he looks like you know a lot of us dug this up he looks like that pregnant man emoji this is the face of the modern left too this is what these people look like that's why hollywood has to to gaslight people first of all actors aren't even attractive anymore but that's why hollywood has to gaslight people into thinking you know celebrities are you know something that something that they're not so a few people pointed this out i'm not going to say i was the first one to point it out but a few people pointed out that the this is who this is who it was right is that that was the um the pregnant me and emoji a lot of people have post pointed that out he definitely looks like the pregnant man emoji right here so that's what we're dealing with you know this is the world we live in right now where you can't even leave your house you can't even live your life without memes real life memes harassing you talker handled it well though tucker handled it the way tucker handle it well and in a way that i think fewer people are going to handle it right if you're some pathetic creepy drag of a man i don't know what this guy calls himself he's just a creep if you're going up to people you're going up to somebody in a store with his kids and you are harassing him you are a creep i they're you're disgusting you're vile you are everything that morality aside you are just a creepy person it isn't about politics it is about what kind of lecherous pervert goes up to a man with his a pervert does a creep does a stalker does i wonder you know i wonder what's up with this guy's personal life that's for sure because someone who acts like that i bet you if we looked into his background a little bit and we're working on it i bet you were gonna find some things so my own daughter wants to say hi but then you know i think what if that creep ever came up to us right would i have tucker carlson's willpower to tell him settle down son would i be that patient i probably would have to be would my wife be that patient you know we will see but this is again a just a reminder of who we're dealing with we are dealing with creeps perverts degenerate stalkers he the guys just i'm it's not even where you want to say he's not strong enough to be you know an enemy he's just a creep he's a stalker this is a person who probably harasses people in real life follows them around drives by people's houses at night that you know that he's dating that's who we're dealing with the lowest lecherous deviant debased scum of the world that's become the modern left so of course nobody on the left wanted to um you know disavow there's no calls for disavow everybody wanted that to go viral and it went viral and i think it was a backfire so let yes ma'am okay i get going all right so i gotta get going i'm being i'm being called here i'm gonna get going thanks for listening in we're still doing a little soundtrack we're still doing a little bit of uh video check we got a new gear check thing so we're gonna start rolling again but we figured we'd just say hi see how everybody's doing but i'm being i'm being beckoned

Building Centaurs: Designing human AI interaction services: Connor Upton
[Applause] morning full disclosure I'm neither a health professional nor a data scientist so bear with me I think it should be entertaining nonetheless so yes we sis fjord Dublin studio sits in the dock is century's Innovation Centre it's a really interesting place as a designer to be based we are 45 designers that sit alongside large teams of data scientists technologists but also people with deep industry expertise and by and large the projects we were working on how touch of AI or use a high in some shape or form as well as being a place for developing prototypes products and services we're also a venue where clients come in to talk to us about design strategy innovation technology they come in to us to work through their innovation agendas ranky strategic challenges and over the last number of years we've had many clients who come in often very curious about hey I very often quite concerned about AI but most of the time they're confused about AI what it is what it does this is a one of our designers used to can breed or to generate these dog Flair's which I'm quite quite fond of and it's not surprising that people are confused a bit AI because now it's synonymous for technology what are these people coming in are deep experts on their industry areas and we work across everything from life sciences we do life sciences health care but also into areas like utilities working with public safety and those types of organizations and the challenge that they face around the confusion is it's both everywhere and nowhere at the moment so we all know artificial intelligence says in our lives it's on our phones categorizing people it's navigating us around the world it's it's by and large telling us what we should be watching or consuming from a media perspective so AI is ubiquitous but for a lot of the people who come in this isn't this is really seen as artificial intelligence because the AI here is wrapped within products or services that we're using every day and I think John McCarthy already predicted this when he said as soon as it works no one calls it AI anymore and in this case it makes it invisible so that's confusing and another thing that's confusing is it's moved it's moving beyond simple prediction and classification ai keeps evolving so a couple of years ago when Autodesk released a dreamcatcher their generative parametric design tool people were really blown away by this and it's like wow and and since then this has extended into all sorts of different areas like the idea of generative design for drug discovery for fashion for a whole range of different applications so that's confusing and what's also confusing is AI is now starting to have unintended consequences that people are becoming more and more aware of and I know this audience here will be very familiar with issues around algorithmic bias in relation to gender in relation to race we've also started to see real-world incidences where over dependence on automation or over reliance on AI has led to incidents like fatalities with autonomous vehicles and it's also started to talk aynd of touches and move into really weird places I don't know how many people have are familiar with what you're seeing here below this is one of thousands of videos that are up on on kids video platforms at the moment that essentially targets the revenue the ad revenue from kids nursery rhymes & kids nursery tropes on us and the recommendation engines of these platforms have been gamified people have looked at and said oh well actually I can find a way to put my content up this one is just weird but actually there are many videos up there with with sexual references and graphic references that are not suitable for children so all of this is bringing us to a place where I think having Kellee sums it up quite nicely when he says we're morphing so fast that our ability to invent new things outpaces the rate with which we can civilize them and with AI this is where a lot of clients who come in looking for technology consulting and strategy consulting these concerns are really there so how should people think about AI and I saying people here on purpose this isn't about experts and how experts think about it how should we all think about it particularly if if you've got businesses that are coming in that are looking for help with their innovation we can ask an expert what is AI I'm sitting in front of lots of experts I think of us as many of you I would hear it's a technical term an umbrella term for a range of machine learning techniques and would start to talk about things like random forests and neural nets and this is all technically accurate the difficulty is for experts in other domains when they come in they find it very difficult to relate these terms to their business challenges or to their everyday lived experiences so as designers working in a Novation center part of our responsibility is to make the technology a lot more accessible and one technique that we've used to this is essentially reframing AI in human terms so when we work on innovation workshops for clients we don't talk about computer vision or natural language processing we use analogies we talk about how might you solve that business problem problem through seeing but seeing at scale or through reading but reading enormous volumes or through hearing touch recommendation creation but reframing AI in human terms this isn't to dumb it down it just opens up the opportunities to allow other people to id8 around how it may be used to solve their problems and I'm gonna use this framework now just to quickly step you through some work that we've been doing at the dock and we use these as inspirational examples within our ideation workshops as well so let's look at seeing so computer vision is a hugely powerful technology by and large we've seen it applied in in various different areas I think in in quality control it's got obvious applications in health we've seen us in terms of radiology as a design agency we work a lot with consumer facing products and actually one of the projects we did was around retail we're traditionally a service design agency that's where Fjords background was so we looked at how can we improve the consumer experience in this case using the extra eyes that we carry in our pockets to take things off the thinking list so to make our lived experience easier I'll just play the short video here [Music] so computer vision here is just a touch point within an experience a digital experience that can improve a consumers life we also have things like reading so natural language processing as the technology is extremely powerful we've seen how this can be applied to things like social media but actually we've been looking at how do we bring this back to ourselves as design as designers and researchers we spend a lot of time look at doing user research on individuals one client that came to us was an insurance client who wanted to move beyond traditional insurance products refresh her premium once a day once a year and move into areas of digital health services the difficulty was while they had loads of data on their customers that data was all framed in terms of risk and they didn't really know what the lived experience of those people were you need that in order to build out digital health services so we did what we always did we went out and conducted research but we also used natural language processing to accelerate that process again I'm just a quick video here we interviewed 200 senior care providers we analyzed their responses using natural language processing and generated bigram networks that surfaced the key important themes for example when asked how could your care giver learning experience be improved we can see that carers need support and that they want classes but they have little time for them they need better options for learning these visualizations provided a reference for discussion with our client around the true user needs so we discover insights but then we bring those insights directly into the design of digital products or services so hearing digital signal processing we like we we're all a lot more familiar these days with conversational AI but how can that actually get into workforces we did some work with a large policing authority around their computer to aid or dispatch or around their emergency dispatch process quite a difficult challenge for them because you've got a human who's picking up the phone listening to a very stressed other human who's also often those people are not touch typists are not very deeply familiar with the technology we looked at how can we actually use artificial intelligence to allow us to extract key essential information and speed up the overall process I'll just quickly play a short example here please emergency no there was an assault industry there's a man down he was attacked by two persons on a motorbike can you tell me where this has happened I'm in Green Street I think he's been stabbed please confirm the man is in green street you believe he's been stabbed yes yes the man is in green street and and I think they tried to rob him and he's been stuck I just gotta keep moving on that but what you saw there was the use of natural language processing speech-to-text technology certain recommendation systems not to replace a human worker here but to augment them touch is another interesting one so when we hear about when in public consciousness people he hear AI and they think robots now AI is not robots but they are changing the way in which robots can interact with us moving away from the purely highly dangerous activities where people were segregated from them and actually moving into the area of collaborative robots or Co buttocks working together or actually with with I am or the manufacturing research group or outside the team at the talk developed this this experience that allowed people to play around with actually if I work alongside of robot can I complete these tasks a lot more quickly have I more flexibility is it easy to train and this has been a really great example of how we can work better with robots in order to achieve achieve our goals recommendation so recommend our engines are everywhere you know on social on on our own media platforms it's telling us a lot of the stuff we should consume but actually with IOT and with devices out at the edge providing information back to us we can really extend what we do with recommendation systems a project that we recently finished up at the dark brown on the titled the last mile and this was dealing with the business challenges facing postal services internationally this is a huge issue their business model is is quite Victorian it's based around sticking a letter true the only letterbox of your of your permanent abode once a day it has no relevance in a world where people want fast flexible parcel delivery so using a combination of demand prediction and route optimisation we're allowing postal services to leverage their existing workforces and their infrastructure to help them to compete against same-day delivery services and what's key here again is this isn't about replacement and it's also not dictating to everybody what they should do one of the key things about getting the workforce is to accept this was to provide them with mechanisms to provide feedback to the algorithm so your delivery agents out in the field can pass back information whether that's a bad problems with the delivery problems with the truck the algorithm should be doing the work around the data that isn't available to them that these human agents the human Glue can give back to them and then finally create I already talked about the dream catcher project but the whole area of computational creativity is really exploded of the last while for everything from synthetic people true to synthetic fashions as stitch fix using AI to para fashion we've been playing around with the technology with some of our work with food producers so big food production clients that we have in we were looking at how we could help them come up with new product lines that are both interesting and pleasant and we actually set up a little test kitchen and so I didn't work and created a range of Tampa's that were inspired by by a knowledge graph the middle row there is a dark dark chocolate bool sitting on a parmesan crisp so it's kind of a chocolate taco it was actually really really good so this this activity we call the AI creative matrix and like I said we use this working with clients we use Design Thinking methods to get them to frame their problem to understand what they need to do and then we use this to get them to very rapidly come up with a range of ideas around it unconscious I'm way over that is just one tool that we use within our toolkit of a program called designed intelligence which is our systemic approach for trying to unlock the full potential of human and AI for your organization I have other stuff what would you do you want to ask me questions or will I step through the last bit yeah I think I just asked you one question I am conscious of time I suppose as a design firm I'm you know within the dark and you have these let's say consumer service companies coming in because you know they're not necessarily going to be experts in AI and that's really why they're coming to Accenture into the doctor to get a better understanding of that when you're designing I suppose these features and these interactions is I suppose the science fiction fear of you know if we break down and you're using human terms you're using human senses see read torch is there a fear there if you break down those barriers too much that you know they might be accepted that there's a sense of you know the robots are kind of replacing humans and if you if you break down those barriers too far is that a design is interestingly the last couple of slides which 140 is exactly in that space and what we found really useful is - and this is part of the design intelligence program we're moving away from purely the interaction and we're taking a much more systemic approach so a whole area of systems design where we look not just us at the AI and the person interacting with us but actually look at overall systems to understand flows or products or information to understand where the opportunities for the introduction of either automation or AR insistence are but to also understand the upstream and downstream providers or people who are affected by that change and it's really important to get that understanding of how it fits in the overall system and on top of that we're finding that by and large that's generating alternative roles alternative jobs or extending roles that are in existence at the moment so workforce replacement was definitely I think in the early days highway I was being sold but I think what we're seeing more and more now is that when we talk about these systems sustaining over longer periods of time we need to build a full ecosystem around us we need to allow for that human glue to stay in those systems because systems themselves change and evolve over time very good - really a complementary support to the humans a very interesting Thanks thank you very much [Applause]

WHERE CAN YOU GET BASEBALL CARDS APPRAISED?
one of the most reliable places to get baseball cards appraised is through a reputable Sports mbilia Auction House large auction companies like cands Heritage auctions or gry flannel auctions employ expert card graders and authenticators who can thoroughly inspect your cards and provide a professional appraisal and estimated value they regularly handle vintage cards worth thousands or tens of thousands of dollars so their appraisals will hold significant weight if you ever decide to sell your cards auction houses May charge a fee for their appraisal services often around $110 120 per card but it ensures you are getting an authoritative opinion from respected Professionals in the field if you have a large or valuable collection that may be worth thousands or more it's certainly worth paying for a professional auction house appraisal they can examine each card closely research sales comparables and give you a detailed written appraisal document suitable for insurance purposes their appraisals would also carry weight if you were ever to consign your cars to one of their future auctions professional authenticators at auction houses are also well trained to spot fakes or reprints so their authentication of high-end cards adds confidence in the estimated values however for most hobbyists with typical collections of modern cards or lower value vintage cards a professional auction house appraisal may not be necessary or coste effective in that case your local hobby shop is a good alternative for a basic appraisal any store that deals and sports cards on a regular basis will have knowledgeable staff who have seen thousands of cards come through over the years they won't be experts on the level of top authenticators but they should be able to recognize valuable and rare cards spot obvious fakes and give you a ballpark estimate of contemporary Market values based on experience hobby shop owners aren't going to spend hours sporing over every detail of your cards but they can provide a useful preliminary inspection and overview appraisal for typical Collections and most hobby shop owners will do a quick appraisal for you for free as part of normal customer service which is a better value than paying Auction House fees if you're only looking for estimate on a few dollars or cards just be aware opinions may vary more between different hobby shop graders compared to consensus professional opinions another viable op is seeking appraisals from knowledgeable individuals within the baseball card collecting Community both on forums like sports card forum and through local card collecting clubs groups you may be able to find experienced collectors willing to look through your cards and give their take on values serious collectors will have extensive expertise on particular players sets and years while Community appraisals lack the official credentials of professionals knowledgeable collectors can still recognize rare finds and offer informed value estimates the key is to find collectors with strong proven reputations within the hobby it's also wise to do your own research into recent sales prices for comparable cards on the various major online sports card auction sites including eBay Heritage auctions L lands or pwcc seeing exactly what certain players sets and conditions have sold for will give you a realistic base line to understand minimum and maximum estimated values while you can rely solely on recent talk and listings to definitively establish a card's worth cross referencing your cards against recent sales data online gives a useful data point and understanding approximate values of course for any potential high dollar appraisal it's best to utilize multiple sources if possible cross-checking estimates between an expert grader hobby shop owners collectors and eBay sales comps will point you towards a consensus estimated value range you counting for natural differences of opinion taking a card to both the local hobby shop and Forum experts for instance is a good way to feel confident about any appraisal especially for very valuable cards that could significantly impact your financial situation if mishandled by utilizing the proper professional and Community Resources available collectors can reliably understand estimated values of their baseball card collections for enthusiasts simply looking to understand basic values of modern and average vintage cards your friendly local hobby shop gives free preliminary appraisals as a courtesy for important vintage cards possibly worth hundreds or thousands seeking an official professional auction house appraisal insured by a written documentation is highly recommended however for most typical collections triangulating estimates between knowledgeable collectors recent sales comps and store owners offers collectors a confident overview of their card values without expanses of formal certification with diligent research and utilization of available industry experts any Baseball Card Collector can reliably assess estimated worth

Children's Wonder Book | Various | Myths, Legends & Fairy Tales | Audiobook full unabridged | 4/4
Section 36 of the children's wonder book This is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org Recording by Linda Marie Nielsen, Vancouver, BC The children's wonder book the king cat by a a brawling Next Saturday always seem far off to willy heart. He counted the days on his fingers He would say to his mama Sunday Monday Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday That makes seven days and when seven days come it will be Saturday Now one of those long look for Saturday's had arrived Really was at the breakfast table the bright Sun told of a pleasant day The birds were singing and the leaves were rustling and Willie was enjoying these things without knowing it He supposed he was only enjoying his griddle cakes and maple molasses Willie had been taught politeness Never to leave the table without saying excuse me in many other manners of good breeding But this morning he had dropped from his chair Had thrown down his napkin and had reached the door before his momma knew what he was doing She called him back you have forgotten to be polite Willie She said now you must sit at the table two minutes longer Willie sighed as he mounted his chair mama I don't like to be polite on Saturdays that will be two minutes gone Fannie he continued turning to his sister a naughty sparkle in his eye What do you think I am going to do today? I don't know replied Fannie I'm going to make top see a little muslin cap lined with blue Topsy was Fanny's kitten and although named after a little black girl in a storybook He was as white as snow Without a spot of color and with lovely pink eyes Shaw said Willie just like a girl dress up a cat I'll tell you what I am going to do I'm going to chase cats and throw sticks and stones Adam and I'm going to run after him and catch him and drown him and Where's Topsy, and he looked over at the little white fuzzy ball curled up in the rocking chair Fannie ran and caught Topsy in her arms and turned to Willie with very bright eyes and very red Cheeks and stamping her foot to make him understand She cried out Willie heart You promised me you never never would as long as you lived hurt my little Topsy Now shall he mama Willie's cheeks were almost bursting with the laughter he was keeping in but his momma said very seriously I Hope my little son would not make anything suffer. I think it's shameful to give pain Willie turned away he didn't like his mama to look so and He went out on the Piazza feeling quite uncomfortable Now Willie had no thought of chasing cats when he laid his plans for the day before his sister Fanny he had said that just to tease her still he was rather fond of vexing both cats and dogs and While he was standing on the Piazza step. He aspired the gray family cat basking on the railing and regarding him with big yellow eyes as if in a spirit of defiance he picked up a stone with one hand and a stick with the other and flung them with a whoop loud enough to have come from the throat of a young savage and Mama and Fanny rushed out in time to see Willie pursuing the poor old pet with the vindictiveness 20 bad boys Willie chased the cat far into the woods Feeling comfortable in the thought that as it was Saturday. He need not hurry back to school pussy still remained unhurt and Sometimes would turn back and look at him with two big yellow eyes in a queer way Until finally he determined he would not put up with it So he threw sticks and shouted louder and ran faster But the only result was to make pussy laughs this startled him He tried to convince himself that the cat did not laugh But still he could see that the cat was laughing and now he began to catch sight of other cats Running in and out among the trees He was sure he saw a spotted cat and then a white one and then a black one for a moment he felt Disposed to run after them But the yellow eyes of the gray pussy looking down at him now from a tree decided him Oh Oh gray You don't get rid of me yet he shouted throwing a stick by way of emphasis But old gray sprang from tree to tree Willie chased on until they were in the very middle of the woods Then he lost both his breath and his patience and sat down on a log to rest While sitting there he felt sure he saw other cats Plenty of them there were rows of them behind every fallen log They peered at him from behind every stump and from every tree He could count 24 from where he said What jolly fun? He cried? I wish dick and Jack Harris were here wouldn't we skadam though? He was answered by the sound of laughter it came from the cats as they darted in and out among the trees Startled he looked up at the gray cat he sat in a tree down at him with great Mirel yellow eyes You impertinent thing shouted Willy throwing a clump of moss up at him. I'll teach you But pussy spraying to a large tree not far off and then through a hole in the trunk and disappeared Willy was astonished he sprang for the tree to Darted through the hole after the cat and landed headfirst at the foot of some winding stairs he did not seem to wonder at the winding stairs, but Supposing pussy must have gone That way he climbed them just as fast as he could until he came out among the branches For a moment he thought only of the delightful Situation he found it cool and comfortable among the great green reach leaves And he was joyfully looking for some branches That would serve as a seat when a curious stir below attracted his attention Creeping along a stout limb he looked over and saw what so startled him that he almost lost his balance He saw cats of all sizes and colors black cats and white cats and spotted cats gray cats and yellow cats and Maltese cats and each cats standing on its hind feet with a club in its right paw Each cat lashing its great tail right and left and all looking up at him You may not believe it, but will he laughed aloud it seemed very funny to him He would have laughed longer But now the cats began to climb the tree as they came nearer and nearer He could see that they did not look friendly and seized with a sudden Fear he began to creep backward in his haste. He missed his hold and tumbled heel overhead down the winding stairs and reached the foot without his hat and with several aching spots on his elbows and He hurriedly felt for the entrance But it had been blocked up the few rays of light came from far above Where he did not feel able to climb the next moment He was conscious that the cats had begun the descent not a stick or stone was to be seen while searching for something with which to defend himself He saw a square piece of wood with an iron ring in the middle of it and without Stopping to think he slipped his fingers through the ring gave a pole and the gain down he went With a thump that jarred him soundly The square board was a trapdoor and Willie had pulled it up He had not much time for surprise. He knew the cats were coming down the stairs He hurriedly reached up and closed the trapdoor over him when Willie's eyes had become accustomed to the darkness he found he was standing on another stairway a glimmer of light from below a Turning told him which way it led But he was too much bruised to explore besides. He felt it must lead underground He said to himself the old things will go away By-and-by, and then I will lift the door and climb to the opening But the old things did not go away He could now hear them scratching and spitting at the trapdoor at first He felt safe for cats cannot open a trapdoor But when he reflected that these cats could walk on their hind feet with the club in the paw He began to think that animal so extraordinary might even open a trapdoor in That case they might all at once a light on his head So he concluded to go down the steps and see if he could not burrow out When he had turned the first winding he stood still and said oh The stairs were rock and the walls were rock But it was the lights on the walls that made Willie say oh, they looked like clusters of eyes Willie felt that a thousand cats were staring at him But they were not cat eyes they were clusters of rats eyes put together into all sorts of fanciful shapes in squares and circles and stars and flowers Willie went on down and down looking up at the wall as he went His mind so filled with daring delight that he forgot all fear Suddenly an abrupt turning brought him into an immense Hall of rock brilliantly Lighted in the same manner only on a larger scale the lamps being in the form of trees and fountains the ceiling filled with stars back of the lights were curious furry hangings of rat skins looped with wrapped tails and The floor as well as the couches along the sides of the hall were covered with the same soft material Willie walked along the hall his shoes making no noise on the furry carpet Looking right and left with admiration Across the side which he was approaching extended white steps which led to a platform on Each end of which was a row of chairs cushioned with pale grey most furs Upon a throne in the center appeared a huge object. That was all fur Willie soon saw that this object had two feet and He was just going nearer to satisfy his curiosity When the words don't come near it is dangerous for boys Made him draw back He looked sharply and discovered that it was an enormous cat His left paw resting on an arm of the throne his right paw holding a huge club above his head Willie to back still farther his eyes fixed on the Cat's face. They at each other for fully a minute then Willie remarked What a stunning cat you are You are the biggest fellow. I have ever seen The cat took no notice of this disrespectful Observation he sat dignified and solemn after a pause which Willie had not the courage to break The king cat asked are you William Hart? Willie immediately answered yes, sir And then he left because he had said sir to account What brought you here asked the cat? Why said Willie why I was chasing and then he stopped catching Chasing what asked the cat? Well he began a strange obligation upon him to tell the truth our cat he kept a going and I kept a chasing the old thing wouldn't stop long enough for me to hit him and He went into a hole in a tree very Strange that a cat wouldn't stop to be hit very strange. I must say Reflectively observed the king cat a boy now would have stopped to be hit of course He would be so obliging Why I don't think began Willie, but the king cat interrupted him I'll give you time to think You may sit down there and think and he pointed with his club to a couch near the platform Will he sat down? Obediently the King cat seemed in no hurry to speak again. He sat on his throne Looking straight before him his left paw on the arm of the throne his right paw resting on his club Will he thought and thought all the cats he had ever seen? Came to his mind and all except his sister Fanny's little Topsy were running from him Some he was pursuing with sticks some was stones And they all were getting away as fast as they could His tension was attracted to a cat who had just entered it Was walking on its hind feet and carrying a tray in his forepaws It was the grey cat of the morning's adventure Pausing before the king gray made as low a bow as he could Considering he had a tray in his paws and said here is your Majesty's mail when the king cat had read the missives he said Inform the judge and jury and the ladies and gentlemen of the court that we are ready to proceed to try the case Thereupon a fine-looking cat walked in He had a sunflower wand in one paw and a roll of paper in the other Making his bow he took his seat at the left of the throne then twelve cats came in each carrying a club and saluting the king Six took the seats at one end of the platform and six at the other then followed the members of the court all silently passing to the seats at the other end of the hall and Finally 40 fierce looking cats armed with clubs filled the outside row of seats Willie looked at the cats and the cats looked at him and he started with surprise when he Recognized his sister Fanny's little Topsy among them the King turned to the first officer and said You may proceed the first official arose Willie felt sure it was his cousin Tom's pet cat and he remembered seeing Tom trying to teach him to write and After bowing to the king and jury and then to the court read from the paper as follows to your royal highness the gentlemen of the jury and the ladies and gentlemen of the court greeting at the request of your royal highness I have prepared the statement of our grievances from this boy and others of his race First I confess that many other people do wrong and deserve the chase Manette some notwithstanding a careful bringing up Allow nature to get the better of them and in order to satisfy the cravings of hunger Jump up on the dinner table and even run away with pieces of B Steak and mutton chop such conduct deserves the punishment, which generally follows But your Royal Highness what I complain of is the persistent tyranny exercise towards us By that class of human beings called boys Why your Royal Highness if a cat? do but curl in a corner to Sun himself or settle comfort Li on a post or a fence if He stopped for a moment to wash his face or take a roll in the cool grass these boys pounced on him with sticks or stones and He is obliged to flee for his life Not content with that They chase him this particular boy your raw highness is one of the worst of his kind but he shows no mercy especially in the chase and But that we are a fleet-footed race Many of your loyal subjects would be found lying dead on the ground killed by him We think you're wrong on us that these Things should be stopped It was by your orders this morning that Lord grey cat enticed him into the tree Which stands as a tower to our underground castles by your orders also? We are now meant to consider. What shall be done with him the king then said I give all Opportunity to speak and in order to avoid confusion The cat highest in court may begin the others may follow in order lord grey cat we will hear you Lord gray cat made his speech stating he knew William Hart intimately and many of the court testified after him as will he listened his color came and went he felt himself growing hot and cold by turns and He owned to himself that all they said was true Then the King turned to Willie boy you may speak if you have any reason for your conduct make it known Willie arose not to be outdone by cats in politeness He bowed first to the king and jury and then to the court Your royal highness. I didn't suppose that cat scared I didn't think your raw highness, then he stopped not knowing what to say next But catching sight of Topsy he continued in a faltering voice Your royal highness. I was always good to Topsy wasn't I Topsy and my sister Fanny loves eats Loves cats and it would grieve her if you should hurt me then He sat down after a moment of silence that King was turning to the jury When the first official again came forward with his sunflower wand what is it asked the King? Your royal highness miss Topsy wishes to speak certainly said the king the first official brought forward miss Topsy leading her by the paw a Thrilling sensation ran through the court many of the cats clapped their paws silently Evidently miss Topsy was a favorite She certainly did look lovely with a little ruffled Muslin cap mined with blue stuck over one ear a blue ribbon around her neck and a little embroidered handkerchief in her right paw Even His Royal Highness smiled there she stood looking so pretty that Willie could not help saying Oh Topsy I wish Fanny could see you Topsy took no notice of Willie she kept her eyes on the king and jury Now and then putting her handkerchief up to wipe away the tears She pleaded for Willie in a soft Paree tones Dwelling on his uniform kindness too, and the goodness of Fanny and of his mother to all cats occasionally she would turn to some big dreamin and Ask if what she said were not true, and he would directly say that it was The whole jury indeed seemed to feel the influence of her words and when she returned to her seat Will he felt that public opinion had been changed? The jury retired it seemed to Willie that they were gone a long time, but in fact They were gone only five minutes at the expiration of that time they returned as quietly as they had left at a Nod from the king the first official arose and read the decision it seemed very Severe to Willie we think a persecutor of cats ought to be condemned to death but as some extenuating Circumstances have been related in regard to this boy We think the punishment of the second degree may do in his case the forty executioner shall be ranged opposite each other 20 in a row with clubs raised at The signal the boy shall run between the lines and all shall hit him who can The boy shall then return through the lines all striking at him with the left paw claws on muffed This shall be done six times if the boy survived He shall remain a prisoner until he has done some deed of great service to the race of cats the King turned to the executioner's preparer There was an immediate movement Topsy went anxiously from one to another of the Executioner's Willie heard her say don't strike hard. Please scare him only the executioner's ranged themselves The first official led Willie to the head of the line Willie's heart beat fast, but he was a brave boy He hold up his head and awaited the signal like a young Indian the order was given the clubs were Raised and Willie ran. He reached the foot of the lines not much hurt the Executioner's had remembered miss Topsy some had made a great fuss But had not touched him and the others had hit him lately At the end of the sixth run Willie had lost some hair had received some scratches and a black Eye, but on the whole he had come out safe And he now stood panting and wondering what would occur next The King nodded his head as a signal for all to leave and Willie was left standing before the king Boy his majesty said at last be seated strive to think of some good deed you can do Willie was glad to sit as he was rather tired But as I have said he was a brave boy And he immediately set to work Thinking of something good to do for the king and his subjects. He was fond of using tools He had a very nice set at home, and he had amused himself every rainy day with them He now soon remembered a Rattrap. He had just finished He arose and said please your royal highness I could make a rat trap if I had the things and stuff that please the king and he said I like to see a boy do the best he can Pass into the next room and you will find everything you need Willie passed in he found a carpenter's bench some wood and wire and all the tools he needed He never worked so steadily before he gave himself. No time to rest he measured He saw it he planned He bored holes as if his life Depended on it and indeed how did he know but that it did? At the end of an hour his rat trip was finished He took it to the cat and explained it the king said rats know too much to go in there Will he replied they will go after cheese sir? I wish I had some cheese you will find some in the closet in the next room said the king Sure enough Willy found it on a shelf put away with other nice bits for the Kings dessert Willy showed the King just how to set the trap and then put it by a hole Which the King pointed out if that can catch rats said the king it will save my subjects a deal of trouble For it is necessary for my health that I eat a rat at every meal they both fix their eyes on the trap Willy would now and then glance at the king, but the King never once took his eyes off It was so still and the lamps burned so brightly that will he almost dropped asleep After a watch of about two hours Willy heard a little click And then another he held his breath and looked at the king the King turned his head towards him and said He is caught bring him here will he carried the trap to the King feeling very happy Now you will let me go He said the King took out the rat Then he bade Willy set the trap again and place it back it soon caught another Then he knocked with his club on the floor and Lord gray cat and Miss Topsy entered After they had expressed their satisfaction the King cat turned to Willy boy You are to go, but first. I wish you make a solemn promise Yes, sir said Willy eagerly Accordingly at the king's command Willy repeated after him these words I solemnly promise that I will no more torment cats By chasing them throwing sticks or stones after them or in any way whatsoever And I will do all I can to discourage these acts in other boys The King then turned to Lord grey cat conduct the boy out of the castle and show him the way home Willie bowed politely and said thank you, sir To the king and followed Lord gray cat up the stairs out of the hollow tree out into the beautiful woods The Sun was just gilding the tops of the trees so he knew it must be near teatime When will he look down again Lord gray cat was still before him? But he was walking on his four feet and he had Willie's hat in his mouth Give me my hat will he shouted but lord gray cat ran on Once will he forgot and picked up a stick But remembered in time and dropped it when they came in sight of the chimneys will he knew where he was lord grey cat dropped his hat and Disappeared will he picked it up and running soon reached the house and entered the dining room just As the family were seating themselves at tea Willie where have you been what is the matter? Greeted him on all sides for you Must remember his hair had been pulled his face scratched And his eye bruised besides his trousers and jacket were torn Willie's appetite astonished everybody So did his silence and last he drew a long breath and looked around There was the grey cat on the rug and there sat Topsy with her muslin cap and blue ribbon Fannie noticed his look She said Topsy went off this morning. Don't you think and she lost her beautiful little handkerchief? Willie went around and smoothed Topsy's fur and called her miss Topsy and then he patted the old cat and called him Lord gray cat and everybody shouted with laughter Everybody but Willie he looked perfectly serious It was sometime before Willie took his father and mother and Fanny into his confidence His parents grieved him by doubting his story But Fanny won his heart by believing every word of it one day Willie and Fanny went together Into the woods in search of the hollow tree they saw several cats wandering around but the hole was filled with rubbish and the Branches were so thick that Willie could not climb them so they contented themselves with leaving some nice pieces of meat and a little note directed to the king cat and When they went again both the note and food were gone after that they often went with Topsy and Lord gray cat who seemed to enjoy the visits very much and To be acquainted with all the cats they met But none of them could be induced to walk on their hind feet without help Willie kept his promise he was a friend to all cats from that time And he also persuaded many a boy to cease tormenting them end of section 36 recording by Linda Murray Nielsen, Vancouver, BC end of the children's wonder book by various

DONT remove your Wisdom Teeth. DONT get a Root Canal.
we spoke about the dangers of mercury almagum almagum almagum you guys are giving me crap last week for how i was saying it the point is if the person telling you the truth doesn't know the terminology then maybe the people in the field the dentist the orthodontist are all complicit with each other and making you sick and petting their bank accounts i mean that being said a lot of you guys last week didn't actually know the dangers of those fillings so i figured i can address two other common dental procedures wisdom tooth removal and root canals one very important thing to understand is that generally speaking most modern medical procedures or interventions are band-aids for the problems that you actually have so many diseases and issues arise from poor food quality and high radiation environments that doctors and dentists have been trained to treat those problems for our entire lives personally i haven't been treated by a doctor in about 10 years i've had a few dental cleanings here and there but that's just cosmetic because i wanted white teeth you know then you have people going to the doctor's office every week every time they sneeze better put on my mask for that same period of time i've been told i have a cavity that needs to be you know drilled and filled but i've never done so and it's perfectly fine just about everyone knows what wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that you get in your teens perhaps early twenties long after all your adult teeth have come in due to poor facial development lack of nutrition predominantly our bone structure in general the skull and jaw especially you know what we're looking at every day are not large enough to naturally accommodate our teeth therefore the teeth come in crooked misaligned you ever wonder why some people have perfect teeth and others don't it's it's genetics it's simply their nutritional environment which we've spoken about many times in past videos i think it was titled what makes us beautiful root canals involve a bit more than just you know pulling the wisdom teeth out although you'd probably be better off getting the teeth pulled than a root canal when a person's tooth becomes infected an abscess forms near the root a pocket of bacteria it's more of an extreme downside of a modern diet immediate bacterial infections that can be so painful people want to die the dentist has to remove the tooth dig out that pulp the root of the tooth he's digging a canal composed of very sensitive nerves and then he replaces all of that with a type of plastic and then puts your tooth back on or something synthetic if you do think you need a medical procedure it's always important to get the opinion of several different doctors and specialists even for something like wisdom tooth removal it's tough because you know most families go to the same dentist their whole lives then when the dentist tells them oh you need xyz procedure the family blindly agrees and trusts them the same thing with doctors and if you don't agree they use their authority to weaponize fear and you know in the few cases where they couldn't just get you to do it by asking that tends to work and these people are indoctrinated and brainwashed to believe what they're doing for you is actually good it's actually the right thing so they get really angry like how could you not trust me i know everything about health and i'm going to fix you that's that's the unfortunate mindset possible some of them are just complacent which means they're evil and they know what they're doing and i guess a lot of them realize that at an older age what's kind of crazy is 85 percent of people have their wisdom teeth removed in america and that varies by country which makes you kind of suspicious like hold on wait why are they doing it differently there if we're doing it this way here is one better than the other and you realize just the whole system is corrupt you know this isn't a simple non-invasive procedure they're literally ripping teeth out of your jaw bone out of the roof of your mouth and there's a lot that can go wrong the nerve damage you know they can punch holes in your sinus cavity imagine how much of a nightmare that would be problems the rest of your life and those are two primary risks i know about but no one mentions the sunken mouth you know how those old people that they lose all their teeth and like their mouth sucks in it looks like uh like like not it's not attractive what we're doing here is like a lesser version of that you know your mouth will certainly sink in your cheeks your jaw the reason they typically do this when people are young is so they don't notice those facial changes as much and they just say oh he's still growing he'll be fine but they're making you and your kids uglier they don't want you to know that so if you're in a situation where your wisdom teeth are definitely impacted you know i would get a full 3d x-ray you'll confirm that 100 percent with multiple doctors and maybe there's a way around it maybe if they remove the upper teeth and then let the wisdom teeth come in in place you definitely don't want to completely ruin your facial structure you need to replace where those teeth are to not have any changes moving on the goal of root canals is simply to remove that infected pulp and abscess the bacteria which can be in a pouch-like wound problem is that pulp has many different functions delivering nutrients healing the tooth and even if it's infected that pulp is kind of transporting and removing bacteria and trying to fix the problem we've been conditioned to believe that our teeth our hair aren't really living parts of our body and can be removed without repercussion but everything has a function some more so than others you know would you let a doctor cut off your finger because it has an infected cut i mean the gallbladder removals are ridiculous you know the colon style it's it's really disgusting and discouraging that doctors you know it might as well be a butcher shop so the problem starts with the material they actually use to replace the pulp in the tooth gutta percha i looked up the pronunciation of that one boys is a type of plastic made from a tree but that only comprises about twenty percent of the material sixty six percent of it being zinc oxide and the remainder being heavy metals heavy metals obviously toxic and damaging to the body so is zinc oxide it's kind of funny because you can look up like oh is zinc oxide toxic and they're like oh yeah it can damage your lungs but you'll be okay really do you want that in your body you know of course the government bodies that oversee these materials deem them safe you know just like it's safe you know to sleep under a cell tower in reality the material used for root canals is toxic in itself let alone any infectious bacteria that will remain what that means is regardless of medical cleaning chemicals techniques high levels of endotoxins are still in the cavity after the sterilization after the root canal despite most bacteria being eliminated the endotoxins remained endotoxins are released when bacteria ruptures or disintegrates and are toxic hence the name i was looking at one study literally showing several 60 year old patients had brain abscesses from the bacteria multiplying in their mouths now this ties back to the money aspect you know dennis charged between 1500 and 2000 for root canal procedure and then you have all these health problems that make a whole bunch of other doctors a bunch of money statistically about 50 percent of root canals fail within 10 years you know imagine how much damage was caused before people realize it's you know completely screwed the alternative to a root canal is having a dental implant basically a screw in your jaw i don't know how much of a better option that is there's definitely some radiation issues with the metal the point is fix your nutrition fix your lifestyle get your fat soluble vitamins and balance make sure you have plenty of magnesium and minerals in your diet and you won't have dental issues really any health issues there was a very popular documentary called the root cause it was actually taken off netflix but i think it's on youtube i haven't seen it but i looked up a quick summary and it correlates root canals to cancer and there are plenty of studies i looked at that did show that and it's understandable because the amount of bacteria and toxins in these wounds in your mouth by the root canals on a daily basis for years and years and years perhaps decades are bound to cause massive amounts of damage and create opportunities for other infections in other parts when the bacterium is traveling to nearby tissue i drew this here almost as a joke but the tooth is sad because you know cysts enclosed bacterial wounds will literally grow on top of the root canal and that'll stay there and just keep generating endotoxins that will continue to damage your body that amount of toxins can become so great that it exceeds any other lifestyle negatives but it's usually a combination of several things you know for me it was the high radiation environment the metal implants in my jaw plus liver damage from iron overload now that i've addressed each of those factors you know i feel a lot better i'm getting healthier but you know it can take years and years and years to fix damage that was caused over years and years and years and most people don't have access to the right information speaking of which if you're trying to search for this information on youtube on google incredibly difficult to find anything that goes against the mainstream you know smiling dentists telling you the procedure is safe and has no downsides yet they're going to completely mess up your face speaking of which is facial regression a term i'm assuming someone's smart enough to have come up with it before but uh maybe frankie boy should be writing the medical textbooks so i think this will wrap up the dental discussions for now you know i could probably do a video on cavities on what color our teeth are supposed to be but i mean am i am i a dentist channel like what's the deal point is fix your diet fix your lifestyle you shouldn't have health issues i think i even did a video on how i get my teeth white already so there shouldn't be any more we have to cover but if you guys could please drop a like on the video leave me a comment down below subscribe so that youtube can unsubscribe you next week and if you do want to

Continued Dominance
[Music] hello my soccer universe and welcome to the review of what happened in germany and in austria over the past weekend yeah i decided to go with this way because you know all the other leaks that i wanted to do actually next there are still games to be played and hey i'm wearing lask yay a rare win a rare win a rare win for my team but everything but pretty and kind of lucky and still they look now in a pretty good position but the overly uh theme is saw it in the title continued dominance we still i think salzburg has nine in a row one now for sure and bayern has 10 in a row how boring how boring the problem is that it is not those two teams that have to become weaker it's the other teams that have to get their act together which i think in germany seems to be more doable because in austria let's face it salzburg has at least twice the budget of the next uh richest team which would be rapid vienna who are in addition suffering from serious how to say sporting crisis in in a sense they uh it is more like a revival cult there than it is an actual soccer team in many ways because you know without the legends play uh fight fight fight fight fight but uh don't present a new concept that's more or less how i repeat vienna i'll run at this moment hence they even didn't make their wall but um the main reason for that one is that i wanted to get you know put a little bit memphis because we had also a german cup semi-final and the three teams that i have in there are up there although those two black ones in the week if i would have only made it by a league background these guys the new jersey would not even made it and the other one would be just behind me because their results were not all that impressive overall but you know you gotta balance it out in many many ways the one thing that i have to say is that i think in both leagues are the most exciting part is probably the battle against relegation and there's a little bit for the european sports outside of champions league because i think we can also say that the champions league spots in both in both leagues are more or less already taken so it's basically who goes europa league goals in the conference league uh there is a little bit more exciting but i think the major excitement is for going down even there in germany we had quite some decisive results let's start in my home country austria uh as i said usually i will not talk much about the relegation but since laska is now in there uh boy what a lucky win that was they were the better team let's face it about altog really had it coming that way when uh uh nani zayamo got sent off when he even wasn't the last man but the referee sent him off on the ward in intervene which yeah first season austria with var and it's still a big mess it is still a big mess and no one really understands stanza's list of all uh the referees to be honest so uh it's not great then uh from that uh there was a free kick and from that uh a penalty reso uh resulted that robot could pull in and then uh just after the kickoff nakamura uh you know last stays on and they make it two-nil at this point you think okay two goes up a man up you're gonna win this game easily into and do something for a goal difference to boost although that for is not so important for austria and anymore but you know if you miss changes where you free on goal with the ball you have all the time to cause contrary you cannot pull it in i'm sorry it's always gonna be a fight and that's exactly what what happened in the 60th minute with all the changes that last made from that moment it just got worse and going and i was actually one of my favorite players over the last few years the chance that he missed it is just disgraceful in many many many ways and then in the last few minutes altar got uh the characters again and nujio uh had a few chances i mean he's a big big strong guy i thought that moonshine who played their first half season in in linz still belongs to lusk but never could get through indian resistance online altar i actually thought that he might score but no uh it is um last uh who actually then can't come considering nine i first made it and i think there would have been even a kind of a valid penalty shot for alta in there as well the only thing that's good for last the three points and that with reed losing and the reed just firing their coach because they if they are suddenly afraid of although they were second place in in the table but it's very very tight as well you see they changed the coach and it didn't go better because dear old wins late and admira who just went into first place hardback losing so everything went for lusk despite them not really deserving that they suddenly find themselves in first place as we will see as for the championship round i think that the corinthian dormitory now went the other way you know in walls per client football including the wolfsburg wins in an exciting game potentially i didn't see it but uh sounds like it was one but salzburg you know they could have changed the title last week they really made sure that you know with i think a point was enough but they made it emphatically with uh okafor are the yemi and zutic or in the first half three nil and then it's just brenton aronson um and camara with the penalty very late on adding on clinching a night tonight title for salzburg and you know you really wonder who can challenge them it's not that i don't see anyone salzburg really need to lose a lot a lot of players that they cannot fill up but they have been very good in filling up the talent from below uh private is if you want to have a good atmosphere the best game that you can watch in austria is definitely between stream cars because both uh fan bases are numerous and there's a good rivalry in there so i think this is at the moment i would say the game to watch although this might change uh soon as well i would actually put this one ahead of the vienna derby because of all the arguments that comes in that game so uh going into understanding salzburg done i mean uh at this moment already uh 14 points clear of sturm guards who are very very solid in the second spot with only rapidly having minor chance but for that they would have needed to win that that they want so it's all going uh into the conference league where at the moment is third spot if salzburg wins the cup final more that in in in the second third spot gets in your your europa league and then the fourth spot will get you in the conference league fifth spot you'll go into playoff and then seven at eight also only the sixth place team cannot go to europe go figure in any way so yeah uh that's where it's going on the bottom last suddenly find themselves in first place still they are the strongest rated team i don't think they will win this one i really don't think they win this one and if you look it down i mean altac now looks down and out but a turnaround is very very quickly heartbear great admiral um i think everyone can get in there and i even think that lask is not out of the doldrums here really if they continue playing that badly uh i think this could actually result in a rude awakening now upcoming coming games last cast to play at euro so uh two we won first game was sixteen lusk i'm sure they're gonna lose this one you see how paul's did it if i am and you know uh in the austrian bonus league i think volsberger uh i'd say or wolfsburg against australian that's probably the one to look forward to uh those are played midweek because on the weekend it's all about the austrian cup final between the 8th and salzburg i will take the over on any betting just oh my god feeling because he is a little bit in this array uh although they had a pretty good season they almost made it into the top six and ever since then something's fall falling but they even beat the one in the darby so yeah austrian league as i said down is still kind of exciting uh speaking of cup let's move on to the german cup where we have a cup funnel that all ahead of the season normal both of the expected freiburg and leipzig which at the moment are i think the uh fourth and the fifth in the table so actually it's a pretty good cup final and both teams have been playing each other kind of tightly although the favorite has to be leipzig the games themselves were rather different i mean the first one freiburg went to hamburg and you know hamburg again will not make it into the bonus league most most likely which is really a shame because they are one of the biggest teams in germa in germany but at the moment uh they're only in fourth or in fifth place um and it is actually before we go back to cover it it's probably worth it uh got a big win at childcare so they are now in first place and shark is also very much set i have the eyes on finishing uh in the top two which would earn promotion to the two teams that have been relegated without promotion last season in a way it's good to see those two giants back and also with childcare i finally can get a blue jersey out there where i don't feel bad and then it's between san paulo and hamburg um it remains to be seen they have to go through through relegation where we also will see who they might play but it's not very certain however freiburg went to hamburg and yeah within the first half the game was done i mean within 17 minutes with peterson hair heading into her floor um huge crowd in hamburg that's why it's so sad to see them again not managing to come to come up uh but fabric really uh won this one very early on they could cruise then into the first ever cup final uh the goal for humber came late in the 88th minute only on against leipzig was a whole lot more even with geraldo becker even giving onion berlin a half-time lead and they had leipzig well under count control however as andre silva penalty and then a very late header through forsberg turned the game around the massive crowd of onion uh fans that even did not for the first few minutes uh chant because of that's a protest against leipzig it was just a side to side citability oh i'm more and more growing fond of this onion fan base because they are really really a very unified block right there and yeah yeah there are a small team that are really really uh pulling pulling the weight unfortunately i was really waiting for overtime uh there then with the hope that onion will do it but it is leipzig playing foreign losing one to uh bayern and losing one to dortmund so let's see if they can win it against freiburg i would so much love it if a book could finally win a title uh as for the weekend uh it started out with a bang with wolfsburg five nil over minds that there that was a big a big one uh frankfurt against hoffman the first half was the indica half who scored an own goal and then got the equalizer frankfurt then largely the better team in this exact second half took an uh deserved lead uh through camada have a little bit other other numbers uh gets it to two two uh the colon game was interesting in the sense that uh the talk afterward was not the current performance which was so and so but that uh anton moore that's upon scoring a go ahead goal pulled out a package of his own coffee brand handed it to her to the fan and then even after the game here's my coffee brand here's my coffee brand here's my coffee brand coach not happy he suspended the player for next week week's game and he's the big star of the team no doubt about it but the team actually uh played well billy felt really really really in a funk and also got rid of their coach uh this week uh another team in funk is actually beautiful gladbach however they had a quick two new lead in the third uh a minute penalty through pennsylvania and then embolo in the 13th and we thought there's a big big big uh upset there because freiburg clearly was tired hive in the second half freiburg turned the game around uh vincenzo grifo with the pear penalty uh gunther and philip lina has it in the a it is a thought famous win for freiburg no schneiderlin stoppage time 3-3 uh leverkusen sandstone greater foot so that is also settled i kind of took and all elite but then liver wasn't just too good although i have had to say there were two goals in in in there that uh filled short terms i mean the equalizer uh the ball came off the opponent and sheik then who was clearly offside otherwise pulled within and uh the two one uh through sierra osmond was all down to the um defense and the goalie not being a jazz adjusted to it to each other and then with another leipzig against onion very often cup games come in twos and this time in a way a very similar game but the outcome was completely different this time was yusuf paulsen i mean the first uh half was largely a little bit better only on but very very very very very very tight clearly there was a cup fight being played leipzig with the first shot on goal take the lead have only on half the second gear and actually manage an equalizer uh once uh mikhail calm comes on i mean it was within a few seconds after he he came on he scores the equalizer in the 86 million the 89th with a brilliant assist uh you know the attack hacker comes on her side he back heals it into um barents who then scores the winner and onion berlin pull up the upset against live leipzig and that was a big one actually also a setback for leipzig where the good news for them is that freiburg didn't win uh so they still kind of arc ahead in the champions league race and i'm talking so much about this because buying against dortmund it you almost can't guess how this will go i mean a 50 minutes and another uh goal this allowed back inaudibly level level makes a tonal game done and dusted yes dortmund can pull one back but at that moment i lost interest and i was watching other games uh it finishes 3-1 by unclinched the title big celebrations blah blah blah as i said in the opener it is not biased to get weaker it is that the other teams and especially dortmund have to get their act together also leipzig hold on to their players make a project maybe something like club did it uh who broke the dominance of bayern but you need to have a young your unified vision especially for forward roadmap give give the coach players that will help the coach play his style not these old players that are just other swords my opinion there two big results on the bottom augsburg winning two nil in bochum which more or less relieves them of most of relegation turbo and also heather wins the second game the second final in a row two nil over stuttgart meaning that at this very very very moment it is uh herta out of the relegation with a cushion four points ahead of stuttgart so uh it's basically between stuttgart and billieville at the moment who will go down and who will go into relegation and you thought that stuttgart was safe we thought at uh uh you know two months ago that billyville might be safe and then they went on a real tailspin there so uh rather size versus foot is already down and bilifeate look down stuttgart probably has to go to relegation and then we say storm start saint paulie or um hamburg uh to go in so yeah it doesn't look good for stuttgart after that such a great season last time around uh as for the european spots um as i said leipzig foreign it's two points kind of it looks tightish but i almost think that leipzig and leverkusen will go in there and then uh let's see if only on current hoffenheim hopefully i'm have already a little bit of a distance there but you know three points this campaign made up who goes into the europa league google's in the conf car crazy i think frankfurt this is a tall order so you know kind of all decided as i always say if we look for the next round i think the big one in a way is leverkusen against frankfurt just by name but not really because that's a game that liver goes and have been dominating overall life live lives against club so it's all about this fight for the champions leagues but hoffman freiburg that might be actually it's not only kind of a local derby but that really could have some huge implications going forward uh as for uh down here with the third final billy fell if they win that one uh stuttgart have to play wolfsburg also northern easy game so you see already where this is going in any case uh let me know what you thought about what the happenings in uh the two bundesligas give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this video subscribe to my channel see more videos like these and i will talk to you soon bye hey there i really hope you enjoyed this video and if you did here are some videos and

Cohomology theory | Wikipedia audio article
in mathematics specifically in homology theory and algebraic topology caja mala G as a general term for a sequence of abelian groups associated to a topological space often defined from a co chain complex caja mala G can be viewed as a method of assigning richer algebraic invariants to a space than homology some versions of caja mala G arise by dual izing the construction of homology in other words coaching's are functions on the group of chains in homology theory from its beginning in topology this idea became a dominant method in the mathematics of the second half of the twentieth century from the initial idea of homology as a method of constructing algebraic invariants of topological spaces the range of applications of homology and caja mala G theories has spread throughout geometry in algebra the terminology tends to hide the fact that caja mala G a contravariant theory is more natural than homology in many applications at a basic level this has to do with functions and pullbacks in geometric situations given spaces x and y and some kind of function f on y for any mapping F X Y composition with F gives rise to a function f f on X the most important caja mala G theories have a product the cup product which gives them a ring structure because of this feature Caja mala G is usually a stronger invariant than homology topic singular caja mala ji singular caja mala ji as a powerful invariant in topology associating a graded commutative ring to any topological space every continuous map F XY determines a homomorphism from the caja mala G ring of Y to that of X this puts strong restrictions on the possible Maps from X to Y unlike more subtle in variants such as homotopy groups the caja mala G ring tends to be computable in practice for spaces of interest

and HJ x are for any continuous map f XY the pullback f asterisk h asterisk y are h asterisk x r is a homomorphism of graded our algebra x' it follows that if two spaces are homotopy equivalent then there caja mala g rings are isomorphic here are some of the geometric interpretations of the cup product in what follows manifolds are understood to be without boundary unless stated otherwise a closed manifold means a compact manifold without boundary whereas a closed submental old end of a manifold M means a sub manifold that has a closed subset of M not necessarily compact although n is automatically compact if M s let X be a closed oriented manifold of dimension n then Poincare a duality gives an isomorphism Hix H and minus X as a result a closed oriented sub manifold s of K dimension I and X determines a caja mala g class and hicks called s in these terms the cup product describes the intersection of sub manifolds namely if s and t are sub manifolds of cada mention i and j that intersect transversely then s t equals s T element F H I plus J X display style s T equals s cap T in H caret I plus J X where the intersection s T as a sub manifold of kada mention I plus J with an orientation determined by the orientations of s T and X in the case of smooth manifold if s and T do not intersect transversely this formula can still be used to compute the cup product s T by perturbing s RT to make the intersection transverse more generally without assuming that X has an orientation a closed submental fold of X with an orientation on its normal bundle determines a kamala g class on X if X as a non compact manifold then a closed submental not necessarily compact determines a caja malla g class on x in both cases the cup product can again be described in terms of intersections of sub manifolds note that tom constructed an integral ecology class of degree 7 on a smooth 14 manifold that is not the class of any smooth sub manifold on the other hand he showed that every integral caja Malo G Class of positive degree on a smooth manifold has a positive multiple that has the class of a smooth sub manifold also every integral ecology class on a manifold can be represented by a pseudo manifold that is a simplicial complex that has a manifold outside a closed subset of K dimension at least 2 for a smooth manifold X Duran's theorem says that the singular caja mala G of X with real coefficients as isomorphic to the DRH am caja mala G of X defined using differential forms the cup product corresponds to the product of differential forms this interpretation has the advantage that the product on differential forms is graded commutative whereas the product on singular Co chains has only graded commutative up to chain homotopy in fact it is impossible to modify the definition of singular Co chains with coefficient in the integer Z or in Z P for a prime number P to make the product graded commutative on the nose the failure of graded commutativity at the co chain level leads to the steam rod operations on mod P cohomology very informally for any topological space x elements of Hick's can be thought of as represented by K dimension I subspaces of X that can move freely on X for example one way to define an element of Hick's is to give a continuous map F from X to a manifold m and a closed kata mention I sub manifold and of M with an orientation on the normal bundle informally one thinks of the resulting class F asterisk n element of high X is lying on the subspace F minus 1 n of X this is justified in that the class F asterisk n restricts to 0 in the caja mala G of the open subset X minus F minus 1n the caja mala G Class F asterisk n can move freely on X in the sense that n could be replaced by any continuous deformation of n inside M topic examples in what follows caja mala ji is taken with coefficients in the integers Z unless stated otherwise the caja mala G ring of the point as the Rings II in degree 0 by homotopy invariance this is also the caja mala g ring of any contractable space such as euclidean space RN for a positive integer n the caja mala g ring of the sphere SN as ZX x 2 the quotient ring of a polynomial ring by the given ideal with x and degree n in terms of Poincare a duality as above x as the class of a point on the sphere the caja mala g ring of the torus s1 and as the exterior algebra over Z on n generators in degree 1 for example let P denote a point in the circle s 1 and Q the point P P in the two dimensional tourists s 1 2 then the caja mala G of s 1 2 has a basis as a freezie module of the form the element 1 in degree 0x topic P times s1 and y equals s 1 times P in degree 1 and XY q in degree to implicitly orientations of the Taurus and of the two circles have been fixed here note that YX topic - XY - queue by graded commutativity more generally let R be a commutative ring and let X and y be any topological spaces such that H asterisk X R is a finitely generated free arm module in each degree no assumption is needed on Y then the Cunha formula gives that the caja Malo G ring of the product space x times y is a tensor product of our algebra z-- h x times why our H X our our H Y

X xn plus 1 with X in degree 1 here X is the class of a hyperplane our PN minus 1 in RPN this makes sense even though our pj is not orientable 4j even and positive because poincare a duality with z 2 coefficients works for arbitrary manifold with integer coefficients the answer is a bit more complicated the zika homology of RP 2a has an element Y of degree 2 such that the whole caja mala G is the direct sum of a copy of Z spanned by the element 1 in degree zero together with copies of Z 2 spanned by the elements Yi for I equals 1 a the zika homology of RP 2a plus 1 is the same together with an extra copy of Z in degree 2 a plus 1 the caja mala g ring of complex projective space CP n as ZX x n plus 1 with X and degree 2 here X is the class of a hyperplane CP n minus 1 in CP n more generally XJ as the class of a linear subspace CP n minus J in CP n the caja mala g ring of the closed oriented surface acts of genus G 0 has a basis as a freezie module of the form the element 1 in degree 0 a

commutativity it follows that bi equals minus p on any topological space graded commutativity of the caja mala G ring implies that two by two equals zero for all odd degree caja mala G classes X it follows that for a ring are containing one-half all odd degree elements of H asterisk X are have square 0 on the other hand odd degree elements need not have square 0 if R as Z 2 or Z is one sees in the example of RP 2 with Z two coefficients or RP for x RP 2 with Z coefficients equals topic the diagonal equals the cup product on caja mala G can be viewed as coming from the diagonal map Delta X X

element of H I plus J X our display style UV equals Delta caret asterisk u times V in H caret I plus J X R alternatively the external product can be defined in terms of the cup product for spaces x

that the caja mala G ring of a closed oriented manifold a self-dual in a strong sense namely let X be a closed connected oriented manifold of dimension N and let F be a field then h n/x f is isomorphic to f and the product h i x f times h n minus I X F H X F F display style H carat I F times H carat ni x f 2h carat n xf kong f is a perfect pairing for each integer i in particular the vector space is high X F and HN minus IX f have the same finite dimension likewise the product on integral caja mala g modulo torsion with values in H n X Z Z is a perfect pairing over Z topic characteristic classes an oriented real vector bundle of rank are over a topological space x determines a cosmology class on X the Euler class Chi II element of our X Z informally the Euler class is the class of the zero set of a general section of e that interpretation can be made more explicit when he has a smooth vector bundle over a smooth manifold X since then a general smooth section of X vanishes on a cada mencionar sub manifold of X there are several other types of characteristic classes for vector bundles that take values in caja Malo G including churn classes Stifel whitney classes and pontryagin classes topic Island burg mcclain spaces for each abelian group a and natural number J there is a space ka jaiye whose jth homotopy group is isomorphic to a and whose other homotopy groups are zero such a space is called an island burg maclean space this space has the remarkable property that it is a classifying space for comm ology there is a natural element you have HJ ka jaiye a and every caja mala g class of degree J on every space X as the pullback of you by some continuous map XK a J more precisely pulling back the class you gives a bijection X K a J H J X a display style x ka J star L Kong to H caret J X a for every space X with the homotopy type of a CW complex here XY denotes the set of homotopy classes of continuous maps from X to Y for example the space kz1 defined up to homotopy equivalence can be taken to be the circle s1 so the description above says that every element of h1 X Z is pulled back from the class u of a point on s1 by some map XS 1 there is a related description of the first caja mala G with coefficients in any abelian group a say for a CW complex X namely H 1 X a is in one to one correspondence with the set of isomorphism classes of Galois covering spaces of X with group a also called principle a bundles over X for X connected it follows that H 1 X a is isomorphic to home PI 1 X a where PI 1 X as the fundamental group of X for example H 1 X Z 2 classifies the double covering spaces of X with the element 0 element of H 1 X Z 2 corresponding to the trivial double covering the disjoint union of two copies of X topic cap

mentioned I sub manifold y of X not necessarily compact determines an element of high X R and a compact oriented J dimensional sub manifold Z of X determines an element of H J X are the cap product Y Z element of H J minus I X R can be computed by perturbing y&z to make them intersect transversely and then taking the class of their intersection which is a compact oriented sub manifold of dimension

Cong 2 H underscore n IX r is defined by cap product with the fundamental class of X topic history to the birth of singular caja mala ji although cohomology is fundamental to modern algebraic topology its importance was not seen for some 40 years after the development of homology the concept of dual cell structure which Unruh Poincare a used in his proof of his Poincare a duality theorem contained the germ of the idea of caja Malo G but this was not seen until later there were various precursors to caja mala G in the mid 1920s JW Alexander and Solomon les chits founded the intersection theory of cycles on manifolds on a closed oriented and dimensional manifold M and I cycle an AJ cycle with non empty intersection well if in general position have intersection and I plus J minus n cycle this leads to a multiplication of homology classes H I M times H J H I plus J - and display style H underscore I M times H underscore jm2 H underscore I plus J n M which in retrospect can be identified with the cup product on the caja mala G of M Alexander had by 1930 defined a first notion of the co chain by thinking of an eye coach a non a space X as a function on small neighborhoods of the diagonal in XI plus 1 in 1931 George DRH am related homology and differential forms proving the rams theorem this result can be stated more simply in terms of caja mala g in 1934 lev pantry again proved the pontryagin duality theorem a result on topological groups this in rather special cases provided an interpretation of Poincare a duality and Alexander duality in terms of group characters at a 1935 conference in Moscow Andrey Kolmogorov and Alexander both introduced cohomology and tried to construct a caja mala G product structure in 1936 norman Steen rod constructed cheque cohomology Baidu lysing cheque homology from 1936 to 1938 Hassler Whitney and Edouard cheque developed the cup product making caja mala G into a graded ring and cap product and realized that Poincare a duality can be stated in terms of the cap product their theory was still limited to finite cell complexes in 1944 samuel island berg overcame the technical limitations and gave the modern definition of singular homology and ecology in 1945 Island burg and Steen rod stated the axioms defining a homology Orca homology theory discussed below in their 1952 book foundations of algebraic topology they proved that the existing homology and caja mala G theories did indeed satisfy their axioms in 1946 Jean larae defined sheaf caja mala G in 1948 Edwin Spanier building on work of Alexander and Kolmogorov developed Alexander Spanier cohomology topic chief caja mala ji you chief kaha mala ji as a rich generalization of singular caja mala ji allowing more general coefficients then simply an abelian group for every sheaf of abelian groups II on a topological space X 1 has Co homology groups hi X for integers I in particular in the case of the constant chief on X associated to an abelian group a the resulting groups hi X a coincide with singular caja mala g4x a manifold or CW complex though not for arbitrary spaces X starting in the 1950s chief Kamala G has become a central part of algebraic geometry and complex analysis partly because of the importance of the sheaf of regular functions or the sheaf of holomorphic functions Rothen Dyck elegantly defined and characterized sheaf caja mala G in the language of homological algebra the essential point is to fix the space X and think of sheaf cohomology as a functor from the abelian category of sheaves on X - abelian groups start with the functor taking a sheaf e on X - it's a billion group of global sections over X DX this functor is left exact but not necessarily right exact Rothen Dyck defined sheaf caja mala G groups to be the right derived functors of the left exact functor EE X that definition suggests various generalizations for example one can define the caja mala G of a topological space X with coefficients in any complex of sheaves earlier called hyper Kamala G but usually now just caja mala G from that point of view chief caja mala G becomes a sequence of functors from the derived category of sheaves on X - abelian groups in a broad sense of the word kah homology is often used for the right derived functors of a left exact functor on an abelian category while homology is used for the left derived functors of a right exact functor for example for a ring r the tour group story or MN forma homology theory in each variable the derived functors of the tensor product mrn of our modules likewise the x2 group's extra M n can be viewed as a caja Malo G theory in each variable the right derived functors of the home functor hom RM n sheaf caja Malo G can be identified with a type of extra namely for a she fee on a topological space x hi x ii is isomorphic to XD ZX e where ZX denotes the constant chief associated to the integer Z and X does taken in the abelian category of sheaves on X topic car homology of varieties there are numerous machines built for computing the caja mala G of algebraic varieties the simplest case being the determination of caja mala G for smooth projective varieties over a field of characteristic zero display style zero tools from Hodge theory called Hodge structures help give computations of caja mala G of these types of varieties with the addition of more refined information in the simplest case the caja mala G of a smooth hyper surface in P n display style math BP caret n can be determined from the degree of the polynomial alone when considering varieties over a finite field or a field of characteristic P display style P more powerful tools are required because the classical definitions of homology cohomology break down this is because varieties over finite fields will only be a finite set of points growth and I came up with the idea for a gratin dike topology and used sheaf cohomology over the e tail topology to define the caja

caja mala G theories there are various ways to define caja mala G for topological spaces such a singular caja mala G check caja mala G Alexander Spanier Kamala G or sheaf Kamala G here sheaf caja mala G is considered only with coefficients in a constant sheaf these theories give different answers for some spaces but there is a large class of spaces on which they all agree this is most easily understood axiomatically there is a list of properties known as the island Bergstein rod axioms and any two constructions that share those properties will agree at least on all CW complexes there are versions of the axioms for a homology theory as well as for a caja mala g theory some theories can be viewed as tools for computing singular caja mala G for special topological spaces such as simplicial Kamala G for simplicial complexes cellular Kamala G for CW complexes and to RH am caja mala G for smooth manifolds one of the island Bergstein rod axioms for a caja mala G theory as the dimension axiom if P as a single point then high P equals zero for all I does not equal zero around 1960 George W whitehead observed that it is fruitful to omit the dimension axiom completely this gives the notion of a generalized homology theory or a generalized caja mala G theory defined below there are generalized caja mala G theories such as K theory or complex cohort ISM that give rich information about a topological space not directly accessible from singular caja mala G in this context singular caja mala G is often called ordinary car homology by definition a generalized homology theory as a sequence of functors high for integers I from the category of CW pairs X a so X as a CW complex and a as a sub complex to the category of abelian groups together with a natural

fundamental result by Brown whitehead and Adams says that every generalized homology theory comes from a spectrum and likewise every generalized caja Malo G theory comes from a spectrum this generalizes the represent ability of ordinary caja Malo G by Island burg MacLean spaces a subtle point is that the functor from the stable homotopy category the homotopy category of spectra to generalized homology theories on CW pairs as not an equivalence although it gives a bijection on isomorphism classes there are nonzero maps in the stable homotopy category called phantom maps that induce the zero map between homology theories on CW pairs likewise the functor from the stable homotopy category to generalised caja mala G theories on CW pairs as not an equivalent it is the stable homotopy category not these other categories that has good properties such as being triangulated if one prefers homology orca homology theories to be defined on all topological spaces rather than on CW complexes one standard approach is to include the axiom that every week homotopy equivalence induces an isomorphism on homology Orca homology that is true for singular homology or singular caja mala G but not for sheaf Kamala G for example since every space admits a weak homotopy equivalence from a CW complex this axiom reduces homology orca homology theories on all spaces to the

welcome to mr. woods teaches I'm Fred woods ready to teach hi fellow scholars welcome to mr. woods teaches figurative language first what is figurative language figurative language is the use of words in an unusual or imaginative manner have you heard a figurative language before pause the video to discuss or ask another about different types of figurative language there are many types of figurative language there is simile metaphor hyperbole and personification pause the video to discuss or ask another about different types of figurative language today we're talking about a proverb as a form of figurative language what is a proverb pause the video to discuss or ask another what a proverb is a proverb is a saying that states the collected wisdom and superstition of a community of people another way to say that the words mean something other than what's written some examples of a proverb includes practice makes perfect what does that mean pause the video and talk with another means anything is possible through consistent practice next a penny saved is a penny earned what does that mean pause the video and talk with another that means that little by little you will save money by not spending your money do you have any examples of your own write them down for a discussion later that's it for now thank you for watching mr. Woods teaches remember to be a person as a reader you need to be a person that reads [Music]

[Music] this is a small program that lets you work with formal concept analysis it's called concept explorer it lets you enter formal context build its concept ladies find implications and do a few other things so here we have a formal context of beverages that we've already seen so the objects are wine champagne beer mineral water herb tea cola coffee and the attributes are beverage which all objects have alcoholics sparkling non-alcoholic caffeinated and hot if you want to edit this formal context you can so you can add an attribute you can add an object and we'll see how how one can do it later for now let's try to build the concept ladies we do it by pushing this button so that's the concept ladies and you can make it prettier if you want by dragging the notes a little bit so something like this and then you can select some of the notes for example if you select this node cola you're going to see all the nodes that you can reach from this node if you go upward or downward so you can reach this node labeled by mineral water by sparkling alcoholic and so on why would you need this well if you follow the ascending hypothesis you can see what attributes this formal concept has so this is a formal context concept that has uh attributes caffeine non-alcoholic sparkling and beverage and it has only one object in the extent it's cola now this is the concept of non-alcoholic sparkling beverages and it includes cola and mineral water and you can explore the lettuce like this by clicking various notes and moving upward and downward in the lattice if you want to ignore some of the objects for a moment then you can remove them from the lattice by clicking here so let's say we don't want to see wine so the lattice is reconstructed now it doesn't include wine anymore and of course we can get it back and we can also remove some attributes if we want to concentrate only on on a subset of them um what else well it's also possible to compute the implications valid in this formal context so dependencies between attributes if we press this button we'll see that first of all every object is a beverage so we have this implication empty set implies beverage and indeed if you if you go back to our formal context you'll see that all objects have this attribute beverage and if we go to the lattice diagram we'll see this node at the top the node at the top labeled by beverage another implication is that beverage and caffeine implies non-alcoholic and so on you can also see um so-called association rules association rules are like implications but they can admit some of some counter examples well 67 of alcoholic beverages are sparkling which means that two of the three alcoholic beverages are sparkling in our context and there's another implication in other association rules that tells us that 57 percent of beverages are no longer non-alcoholic as many barrages as sparkling and so on we'll talk about association rules later in the course uh what else there's another technique called attribute exploration and we'll have a full action devoted to it it's also implemented here well suppose you want to build the concept letters of all the beverages you know not just these seven ones but all the beverages you know um you want to see their conceptual structure so you can use attribute exploration to do this the process starts by enumerating implications that are valid in this formal context so the first question is is it true that all objects are beverages yes in our case in our formal context they're all beverages so here we say yes and then the next question is is it true that a hot beverage must be non-alcoholic so here we press no and we enter this mold wine as a counterexample so mulled wine is a beverage it's alcoholic and it's hot and it has no other properties so we provide this country example and we continue like this but for now let's stop now our context has more objects and so the lattice has changed now it includes mult white as well note that here in our lattice we have b and champagne at the same node they are completely indistinguishable so if we want to distinguish among them we need to add another attribute well for example we could add an attribute made from grapes so champagne is indeed made from grapes as any wine but beer is not now with this attribute we have a different formal context for a different concept lettuce in which champagne is still a kind of wine but beer is no longer a kind of wine and it's and it's not the same now that's champagne so they belong to different concepts so basically these are the things that you can do with concept explorer there are many other tools software tools for formal concept analysis but this one is probably the simplest to use even if its functionality is a little bit limited [Music] you

FF6 BNW BFG - Segment 61: To Mobliz!
alright then so hello and welcome back to another episode of breaking world blindfolded so in this episode we'll be making a trip up to mobilis it's not too far but in second let's double check that i am where i believe i am just want to make sure I what hadn't been fiddling skills 7 Esper's stray and I knew that top one wasn't straight i'd just like to confirm that i'm in the ass for menu so that i don't realize 20 episodes later that oh yeah i lost four points of stamina on saben cuz a dumb mistake so the clip I'm already on seven so go up to celeste equip top 22 22 that's my commentary for this episode 2 2 2 so this time it's 11 down bottom I'm already on 7 which makes the put the relics easy Oh saben equip top slot niet down one really / with top slot Nia black belt all right then so I should hopefully be it for that one two three four five six okay good believe it or not most dangerous part of this entire segments already out of the way because I didn't run into anything in the desert which is by far the hardest encounters I was the only one swear i'd be really likely to die if i didn't mess up my equipping that's an important stipulation because if I messed up I quipping just would anything happen oh yeah right let's and you just attack because Bluebird not during my test run I totally forgot to give savin equipment I just I gave him relics and it was so easy that I didn't even notice anything was amiss whatsoever I don't trap Nilis from the most dangerous thing here well they're both alive so we're probably good it's especially dangerous because the shrapnel was single target and that would do a lot of damage to one person enough to actually be a credible threat but nothing happened so and I'll regain some more HP while I walk oh yeah right I actually did forget something equip skills I should be on celestial she should still be on magic okay so I've got float on them now as well that'll help later when i get to enemies that can use magnitude see yeah let's just continue walking i got to be kind of quiet right now actually so that's why i'm not talking very loud well hopefully i can be heard above the game audio without adjusting my settings any up right up right gotta be a little bit more careful with my up and writes this time last time i was just going all willy-nilly and it ended up costing me so making progress okay I definitely went right blast since I made some serious distance air I should hopefully have we healed quite a bit well there's certainly a whole culture in this battle because it's the only thing she's gonna be thrown about that which is nice because you know if you just to be proud that it so just rips these things apart and I region so much that in general the enemies can't keep up i end up regaining whole pile of HP once I've littled them down to one or two of them Oh more like one there's usually in the one or two and reefs in the battle begin with up right right right I was probably close to the end before but so I'm not expecting another battle but alright so probably made it by now all the way down then we all run all the way right into that delicious looking purple water it just seems so clean I mean I guess you could probably make a comparison to the tap water of somewhere and it would be hilarious joke but I don't know anywhere in particular that has really horrible tap water so I'm sure someone will be able to fill me in on that so I made it there hopefully 12 all the way to the right okay good now I'm that battle just raped a lot of worry that I had and it's probably a pretty have to strike two so double bonus I'm starting to get really worried oh wow celess is really tearing hit that thing apart she's gone AWOL with that throwing something's dead oh wow so scary what with my float status I think I'm probably in danger now when things are already kind of weak and now they're just wasting turns like that it's just I suspect I'm probably have full health after that fight the ambient healing of the white Mel is really really nice right now because I don't have any men p healing of supplies really unless I wanting something expensive like a tincture so I don't want to use any sauces MP I'm hearing but thankfully that's a complete non-issue there's really nothing to worry about there probably the biggest worry we'll be going through the desert all the way up to nykeya because i think the dangerous enemies are in that desert too so I've made it to the end of this probably by now up and right it just went right I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter this time around but i'm pretty sure about taking a step in the wrong direction will do probably nothing of consequence but oh you just ate yourself another hit and now you're dead Oh Celeste is going a whole again in the opposite way than she was before not in the opposite way per se just some sort of like a sister way to it I think's dead well goodbye to those probably what are they called again Shiloh mantises jhelum anti might be mixing up with another type of her the Mantis but and as always i'm probably mixing it up with the nest version vanilla GBA version the hell huh turn the dark sorcerer who knows I always mix things up one two three and it's really easy when you can't see the names either I mean when you can see the name down a pot I'm saying hey this is agile emeritus you're probably thinking okay the jail man jizz just did that but one two three corbels and from Bubba's like a super easy boss fight' so I don't need to worry about that one really because it can be muted unless has been changed or something I don't recall ever hearing anything about it being changed but you never know sometimes there's just that weird silence for a couple seconds just that weird nothing well since I'm the nice thing about over world travel is during these long stretches where I walked with single direction if I get a battle halfway through it's usually a very good indicator that i'm in the right spot so I walk through because it's pretty uncommon well you can just walk them for like five or six seconds without it being part of my plan in certain places anyway particularly around this area because everything's somewhat linear but really long the boy has serpent wretches light out i will try to dash there but then i was like oh yeah you can't do that on the overworld and hello mobile is goodbye mobile is oh I am on skills let's see of that stew grieves the enemies around here you can't really break through my tanking so just makes for a really relaxed second see you next time

PERSHING JOINS THE RANKS
late in 1963 the persing ballistic missile was proved operational this was no minor happening it meant that America's Ground Forces had a new farther reaching faster firing and harder hitting weapon nuclear Firepower with greater m ility and reliability it took a lot of doing but 1964 is the year in which persing joins the ranks early 1960 test firings of the persing missile are begun at the Atlantic Missile Range the Army's Missile Command research and developers faced many problems but they knew what they wanted a weapon Happ to replace and outperform the justly famed Redstone America's first satellite launcher before it ever lifted from a firing stand the new configuration was tested for aerodynamic stability it would have to fly true for a range of 400 miles and be strong enough to endure the shocks and vibrations of flight at more than a mile a second carrying a nuclear warhead of awesome power every component of the system had to be able to move fast anywhere on the ground or by airlift so it had to be light as well as rugged the pering had to be able to function in virtually any extreme of climate the steaming heat of the hot chamber the frost of the cold chamber these were research tools which helped to ensure that the system would have that ability but test Chambers can only lay groundwork soon the system was called on to function in the circuit beving heat and humidity of the tropics and test sessions in the Subzero Cod of the Arctic proved that ping and its ground support equipment comprised a weapon system system suited to meet the Army's Global defense Mission the defense of Freedom anywhere on Earth demands A system that can be delivered anywhere on short notice so Ping's Dimensions had to be tailored for Air transport both rotary and fixed wing during and after completion of the research and development stage the Army's test and evaluation command Engineers ran a wide variety of tests at its 18 installations to determine ruggedness reliability ease of operation immunity to enemy countermeasures the need was great the time was limited the need for a successor to the Redstone was obvious the red stone was too bulky for ready transport it took time to ready it for firing as it had to be filled first with touchy liquid fuels and oxidizers the solid fuel motor of ping would be more reliable and ready to go at any time less than half as long as the Redstone the persing would have twice the range near the end of the Ping's research and development phase men of the second Battalion 44th artillery were called on to fire three missiles from Atlantic Missile Range this was the first time that Army troops had actually fired the persing they used the Tactical launch equipment which would be employed in the field from the beginning all concerned were conscious of the pressure of time an urgency born of chronic World crisis and near crisis in May 1963 the US Army test and evaluation command prepared final test plans for the conduct of joint or integrated engineering service tests of the persing missile system two subordinate commands of the test and evaluation command would conduct the tests the US Army artillery board fort Oklahoma and White Sands Missile Range New Mexico working together the two agencies would telescope time performing both service and Engineering tests with the same series of shots the second Battalion 44th artillery carried out the actual test operations it became their job to demonstrate just how well the persing could take the kind of punishment it would receive on the battlefield and how well it could hit back all of this was in preparation for further operations including a series of 13 live firings in which missiles would fly from Waco range Fort Bliss Texas black Mesa Utah and Fort Windgate New Mexico to land on White Sands Missile Range these off- range firings were necessary no Inland range is 400 m long and persing takes that kind of Elbow Room these missiles will land only where we want them for a full year before the Overland shoots the Army put intensive effort into a Public Information Program to explain the need for them and to make clear the almost total lack of danger from them Sergeant test were run for a month or so the Persian series for several months to a year and the Air Force at the capital building in Salt Lake City Army officials explained the proposed program to Governor George D Clyde of Utah and in Santa Fe capital of neighboring New Mexico the story was brought to the office of Governor Jack M Campbell both Governors endorsed the off-range firing program quickly recognizing the need for more space to test long range missiles White Sands Missile Range is an ideal impact area it has the instrumentation to collect the maximum of flight data its wide open areas of dry land make it possible to locate and recover missile Parts after impact and its Inland location makes it easier to enforce security measures a major phase of the Army's information campaign was to make clear to the public just why Overland firings are safe first no one is allowed inside a safety zone around the firing site the missiles booster stage Falls within this area second if radar and other tracking gear indicate the missile is straying from its predetermined course a signal is sent out which destroys the missile in Flight before it can get out of the safety zone third once it's properly launched a ballistic missile like a bullet follows a set trajectory in accordance with the laws of physics unlike an aircraft it cannot fall to the ground while in ballistic flight fourth all test missiles carry dummy Warheads August of 1963 found the Army missileman convoying the persing from Fort Sill to a Fort Bliss firing site everything was set for the first Overland test of the missile system the 600m trip or Road March took 2 days and was in itself a practical test of how the system stood up under the jolting of extended travel along the way the persing system's own radio set was used for communications with Fort Sill and within the Convoy of 185 Vehicles which stretched 50 mi from front to rear the initial research was over at the end of this 600m track lay the beginning of the firing series which would prove that the persing was ready to take its vital place in America's arsenal of ground to ground missiles the plan was this from a firing site 20 mi south of white Sand's Missile Range two missiles would be fired at a Target inside the range the trajectory of each missile would cover more than 100 miles at White Sands scores of special missile tracking instruments were ready to collect and record for study information on flight performance the development of these complex and extremely precise instruments both Optical and electronic was pioneered largely at White Sands itself they were to save much time and money by cutting down the number of firings needed to collect full information for evaluating missile performance at the Fort Bliss firing site south of White Sands all operations were carried out under near tactical conditions there were 400 men in the firing and evaluation team and there was plenty to keep every man busy for this had to be done against the clock and it had to be done right here for the first time under field conditions they were doing the things they had practiced and ractic for so long now the practice was paying off by dawn of 20 August they were ready to fire the first missile of the test series a few days later the second missile flew its precise 100 mile Arc to land right on target inside the White Sands range the test series was off to a good start and with these shorter first flights the stage was set for the long range shoots soon the troops were on their way to the black Mesa firing site near Landing Utah more than 600 m 2 and 1/2 days with the night spent in the open it was a far cry from the wagon trains that blazed the trails through this country but the country itself is little changed when the Convoy reached Blanding Utah the local citizens turned out to catch the excitement they hadn't seen so many strangers since the last deer hunting season here again it was a Sage Brush headquarters conditions for both men and Equipment were kept as nearly tactical as possible what with the long road March establishing the site and setting up the system against the clock at least one one common combat condition physical weariness was shared by all the five missiles of this series were to impact at various points on the White Sands range some 3 to 400 miles to the southeast of black Mesa three to four times the range of the first two shots the few people living within the safety zone were notified well in advance and army Personnel was assigned to make their brief evacuation as comfortable and convenient as possible a concentrated effort was made to brief citizens on the persing operations business and Civic groups learned details of the necessity and safety of the firings and once informed came through with both interest and wholehearted support for some Indian groups The Briefing was presented in their native tongue there is a new Indian word persing meanwhile the program went forward this man is a flight safety officer the man directly responsible for the public safety during the missile flights this radar plotting board is a basic tool of his trade as the persing hurdles through space pens will Trace its course and show where it would hit if the button were pressed to destroy it in Flight both high- Precision tracking radar and a Doppler system follow every move of the speeding missile far away at Whit Sand's Missile Range this electronic brain receives and analyzes data from the tracking gear and instantly feeds signals back to the plotting board which you just saw at the firing site 24 September 1963 soon the first of the five long range shots will be triggered from black Mesa for the first time a persing would be fired Overland at a Target more than 300 M away at roads and highways entering the safety zone traffic is stopped briefly during the time of firing motorists are given specially prepared information booklets explaining why they're being stopped and the purpose and importance of this series of ping tests under tactical conditions there is no countdown blaring from loudspeaker systems all Communications are done in quiet unhurried tones by team members wearing earphone sets maximum silence is the rule just as in combat at white sand hands the missile tracking instruments are manned and ready the Army provides a viewing stand for visitors including members of the press from all over the nation those few living within the safety zone temporarily leave their homes to areas outside the zone until the shoot is over in addition shortly before firing a thorough search of the safety zone is made making sure that no one has been overlooked finally the Sleek missile is Right In the Groove the safety officer will have no need for his destruct button today between firings the missiles and components are given further workouts over rough terrain this series of firings is intended to be a real Shakedown for the persy under field conditions and the desert cooperates with flash floods daytime heat cold nights and constant everpresent dust the longest firing in this series of shoots was approximately 400 miles it was on September 27th 1963 that the last of the five missiles was fired from black Mesa by the men of the second Battalion 44th artillery soon the persing Convoy was on the road again this time headed for Port Windgate near Gallup New Mexico and the final set of firings in this series which would Mark the persing graduation to full operational status as during the other Road marches the Convoy was virtually self-sufficient carrying its own fuel food and water Fort Windgate has been an Army Post for more than a century and in that time has seen much of America's history in the making by pure coincidence this final firing site of the series was once the duty station of a promising young second Lieutenant named John J persing as at black Mesa the local populace was given full information on persing test plans and kept up to date as the program moved along and as always the public once it was informed gave not only acceptance but active support pleased to be so fully included in the plans and taking pride in the important step forward in National Defense that was being taken in their community in this final series six missiles were scheduled to be fired from Fort Windgate Overland into White Sands Missile Range relatively short shots just under 200 mil miles as the persing Flies again before the firings themselves began the missiles and their ground support equipment were given the Rough Country treatment this terrain provided some mud then the system was assembled checked out and mock fired step by step the needed experience and Technical data were piling up rapid methods of camouflage came in for investigation at Fort Windgate too during these exercises day and night aerial photographs were being taken to analyze the effectiveness of camouflage techniques no opportunity to learn was being overlooked the missile men continued to work and live under near tactical conditions and morale stayed high as it had from the start of the program the high morale Factor was not surprising these men were instrumental in making a major advance in their country's ground Firepower it would have been surprising if that knowledge was not a source of satisfaction during October five missiles were successfully fired from Fort Windgate winding up the test program in November four more persing missiles were fired by the fourth Battalion 41st artillery as they completed persing training these successful firings marked these troops as full-fledged missilen ready to deliver the Army's longest artillery punch should it ever be needed more such graduation rounds will be fired in the future as units finish their training on 20 November 1963 a a graduation rounde is in position for firing at a high Vantage Point members of the press jammed the viewing stands to witness the big event they received a detailed briefing and demonstration of each of the components of the persing missile system this included a demonstration missile and launcher so that they could see at close range what was being done at the distant launch site near the launch site powerful Radars brought from White Sands search the skies to make sure that aircraft are kept clear of the missile's flight path also from White Sands and ready to go into action are mobile Radars of highest Precision especially designed to gather detailed missile position data at White Sands itself other equipment is ready and waiting to track the incoming missile right right down to impact high-powered Optical systems are set long range electronic systems are prepared to record every detail of the missile's position and behavior during flight Computing facilities stand by to process the flood of information wind speed and direction at high altitude are checked repeatedly meanwhile Army teams comb the areas with which immediately surround the safety zone making sure that campers hunters and others who may have come from other parts of the country are aware that the Overland firing is soon to take place they are told where the safety zone lies and that there is no danger but for absolute safety no one should enter the safety zone until the firing is over as the big moment approaches the White Sands range control center coordinates all aspects of the farflung test activities information on the status of each of the many operations is received Radar Radar flight surveillance Optics electronic tracking systems recovery Crews roadblocks special instrumentation finally all the gears mesh and the range goes green the Ping battery at Fort Windgate gets the word fire when ready throughout Ping's flight thousands of electronic senses probe search out and record every function inside and out as the persing Flies hundreds of eyes turn upward to follow it thanks to the Army's painstaking information efforts their interest is more than curiosity alone with an understanding of what persing is how important it is what its success means to the strength of the nation's defenses this has become more than a remote Army activity it involves them personally As Americans they may feel that in a sense this is their shot too and they're right it is members of the press move quickly to file their stories the United States Army has a new faster longer punch in its ground to ground missile Arsenal it was needed it has been produced it is ready the recovered parts will be studied in the labs at White Sands to yield evidence of what happened during flight such evaluation examination endless probing cannot end because still better weapons of Tomorrow will be based on what this kind of searching May reveal the test series is complete but there is still work to be done at the impact site experienced recovery Crews sift yards of Earth to make sure that every fragment of the dummy Warhead is retrieved for every Split Second of flight thousands of bits of information have been recorded at White Sands this raw information is organized by lightning fast electronic brains into usable form this too will form the basis of improvements in the present weapons system and development of systems of the future America has a new weapon the test series was a success but beyond this two important facts in emerged from this test program first that time Priceless in the constant battle for improved Firepower can be telescoped when both field testing and full-scale Engineering evaluation can be carried on at once second the information efforts made by the Army in undertaking these first Overland missile flights of such long range reaffirmed that in peace time as well as crisis the American people will give not only their acceptance but their active support to whatever is necessary to the National Defense all of this went into the making of the persing success story and Americans in uniform or out can justly feel a sense of Pride and accomplishment as ping joins the ranks

A Controllability Approach to SDEs Driven by Degenerate Noises and Applications to ...
networks of oscillators so already from the title I think you can see a link to all three of the mini courses that we had so far right on the first line you have controllability on the second line I'm talking about mixing for stochastic differential equations a non line third line I'm hopefully trying to I'm going to talk about some models that make sense physically and hopefully are interesting and so I just got to write some equate the basic equations on the board so that we can keep them there and you'll have them for all of the talks so we are in RN Rd I think if I want to be consistent and we have an SD so a stochastic differential equation which is of the form D of X T is f so so far it's just a plain old OD E and now I add a term which is Sigma times easy T where Sigma is a linear map from RN to R D and Z T is a random process which lives in in RN so the word degenerate in the title means that I'm not going to assume that n that n is at least D right so n will typically be smaller than D so the noise is the determinant it does not act on all degrees of freedoms that's the analog in sort of infinite dimension of the M strictly smaller than infinity that professor Cookson had in his a PD context and so I'm interested in mixing so what that means is I'm I want to know if there is an invariant measure for this equation if it is unique and if some generic initial condition when I let it evolve according to this equation converges to this environment measure so why am i interested in systems of this type which are essentially finite dimensional analogues of what the professor Cookson was talking about well there are two reasons the first one is that whenever you do if you do P DS and you're trying to do numerix on them most likely what you'll do is you'll project into a finite dimensional thing right you'll do galerkin projection so that that becomes a finite dimensional system or pretty interesting systems from hamiltonian physics so if you have a finite number of masses and springs that are held together then this will be a finite dimensional system and there are some interesting physical questions there I now we should be convinced after the two talks by a professor Eggman that there are some interesting questions there so those are good systems and I know so I'll make a short recap of the what I mean when I talk about in networks of oscillators then I'll move to the abstract set up closer to this and I'll talk about the method and the result and the method so the result that I'll present is a result that was obtained in collaboration with mahogany recision but III should also give some credit to almond sherry can because I learned all of this stuff from him during the time that he was in Montreal during my master's thesis so let us start this is the simplest thing you can think about you have L masses they're all connected to each other by spring so by linear forces this is this no it's this this K times the difference between the the position of these two masses right Q is the position of each mass and they're also pinned to the ground so they can't there's no translation invariant this that allows the system to just go away to infinity this model is pretty simple in fact a bit too simples there are many ways you can deal with this so what I'm gonna do to make things just slightly harder is just add a small non-linearity to the to the potential so I'm not in I mean the case which is harder than linear but I'm not in the hard hard case which is where for example as you see you you get problems when you have different behaviors for the the pinning and the coupling if they they behave like different powers and the power for the coupling is higher then you can't run into problems I won't have this here because both are are of the same order right there quadratic potential so linear force plus something that grows sub linearly and what I want to do is to the right so now the system is conservative so if I want to do talk about mixing and things like that what I have to do two things I have to add some noise but if I add some noise and don't add any dissipation then everything will just break loose so I'm looking at this equation where on the first oscillator I put some dissipation and some noise typically in the literature what you'll see is is white noise and I do the same thing on the last oscillator so the noise is Right degenerate this small and here would be two right there are only two degrees of freedom on which the noise acts directly but nevertheless right I'm not right if I make the assumption that no spring is broken or anything like that then somehow we expect the noise - still propagate fairly well through the system - to have something like some notions of comfortable controllability for this system okay so so from the meaning course by by professor like man what we know is that there's a series of papers which prove existence uniqueness and convergence to some invariant measures invariant measure and one thing that's to be noted is that as of fairly recently they are able to deal with geometries which are more complicated than the chain right here each mass just has what two nearest neighbor at most except for at least one but they can tackle more complex geometries where there you have a complicated networks of of and springs of course they have assumptions there so I mean this is this an oversimplification but what they assume is that the network is sufficiently connected for the noise to propagate so they have this it's a controllability condition it's it's it's formulated in terms of the graph of the connections between the the different masses and and they have some non degeneracy assumption on the interaction so the coupling potential our method is is really it's those are beautiful results they allow for the treatment of strong linearity so which is which is more denied than I'm hoping for here but on the other hand the the proofs rely on the Gaussian structure of the noise so you don't expect this this exact same method to to carry through if you change the nature of the noise and so what I'm what I want to do is tell you about the coupling and controllability approach for such system which which will work even for noises that are very far from being white noise so so different types of noises which are not usually treated in in literature so that's as I said maybe you want you want right what what the white noise does in an equation like this if you think about I mean the early works of Einstein and brown and lingerie and whatever right it's it's mimicking the fact that there's this particle in the medium that's getting kicked and and in in some approximation right you can model that by white noise and but why noise is an approximation and I'm gonna be interesting and actually considering kicks so I'll consider a some sort of compound poisson process type noise so where there is no noise for a while and then the particle gets kicked and then there's no noise for a while maybe not not the same duration of time then you get gets kicked around again and so this is perfectly fine as de as far as we're concerned and and I'm interested in in dealing with that Oh No Ellis facts yeah Oh or or in the abstract set of my my dimension here yeah I I'm not claiming that I can control things well as the dimension ghost in Chains okay and and not only are they not Gaussian these these random chicks at random times they're they're not or at least not obviously decomposable in the sense of the lecture by Professor Cookson right this dis writing in the basis where you have independent coefficients in the basis it's not clearly out that here so we you have to adapt a bit the even the approach from there and the kind of assumptions that I want to make right the sort of qualitative features of this network as I said it that there is some disability if you let the system involve without noise it will sort of relax too near the center right maybe not quite two zero zero because there's this this is this nonlinear theory term here which is small but still the overall behavior is that if you try to go far you'll be brought back near the center what think bounded I I can do a bit more than bounded something that grows that one over I don't know if it's twice or four times the dimension but what no I just mean that it's it it's growth is not comparable to the linear I think think bounded but not small okay and there's this sort of very naive notion of controllability saying that everyone's connected to everyone through the spring so there should be some good propagation because I'm close to the harmonic case which is but I'll be more rigorous on on what that means here I'll make precise conditions so as I said the real abstract set up is this I have an S de so the noise is injected from a from a small dimension to a big dimension by some linear map I'm gonna make disability of assumptions which are behavior about F at infinity I wanted to point inwards and I'll make assumptions on the properties of the images of the solution map and its derivatives in the noise right so that's that's really the same notion is contra bility of controllability doubt that we add in the in the mini-course okay that's Diaz de just to introduce a bit of notation that that comes in handy when you do these things the s de we say that it it generates I mean it induces a semigroup on the space of boggled probability measures right you can think of I mean I can write down the definition it's simply so if I have P P star of say the simplest example is a Dirac mass so if I have an initial condition which is concentrated in one point and I'll make it evolve then this it's the probability that if you started in X and wait time T you're somewhere right this is just what it means and then in the general case you just integrate with respect to your initial condition so yeah if I applied this to us at gamma here then the gamma goes there and then lambda DX I'm assuming that my notice is nice enough that this all makes it okay and my question is oh no one is there a measure which just does not change under this evolution and if I take a initial condition that's not too bad then does it converge to my environment I say no too bad because I think if if lambda is such that it does not have a first moment or things like that then our result does not really care either but for some for a large class of lambda this this will work for example anything that's supported on a compact or has I think it first or second moment anyway okay and when I talk about convergence here I will not use the dual Lipschitz norm but I'll use total variation which is which was also introduced in the mini course and I just have one slide on of comments on this notion of convergence it's the following so there are different ways you can define it one one that I like is define it defining it as the so you look at the average King gives to some bounded measurable functions and you take the worst one you divide by two so that it stays between zero and one that's my notion of distance between two probability measure and now there is this this nice lemma which was also referred to and it was stated in terms of random variable here I I stated in terms of measure but it's really the same so what it's saying is if you want to know what's the total variation distance between two measures so say you have I'm gonna all right so this says you go to a twice the space so if I have a measure on our that looks like this is this big enough a and and another one right which is on another copy of our up here he which looks like I know something like this then to know what's the total variation distance between this thing in this thing you ask man I work in the square write the product of the two spaces and I ask can i define a measure on the square which has the right projections and as H must as much weight as possible on the diagonal so if the two measures are the same right it's like this and this is the same here then you can put all the weight on the diagonal it will have the right projections and you'll have a lot of weight on the diagonal so this you will find a P we write something on the square which gives zero weight to the complement of the diagonal so the total variation distance is zero right they're the same measure if the measures of this joint support then there's no way you can put anything on the diag no because it would have to project to this thing so it's it's a way of thinking about distance between measures as how much weight you can put on the diagonal when you try to couple them okay and this minimum is is it is achieved right we saw that in the lecture two there is such a maximal coupling so one that puts as much weight as possible on the diagonal because another question is why am I talking about couplings what what does it have to do with mixing and the answer is seen through through a basic lemma or maybe a proposition about convergence of of Markov chains on on compact face spaces which is I mean I I don't know who I should retrieve you this to me I mean it goes back to idea of Dylan and people like that so it says that if you have a discrete time Markov family on our compact facespace if there's a small number so something between zero and one such dad when you look at the evolution of dziak masses in two different points in one time step then this is always bounded by some number which is strictly less than one then you have an unique invariant measure and you have exponential convergence though so really when I say the total variation distance between these things it's really about it's a total variation of between the the transition functions and in time step one so how do you prove this well through couplings that that's that's why I'm talking about this well there are two proofs of this actually I think in alman in professor Scheele kanzan and cook's ins book on on to D turbulence there's on turbulence there are these these two proofs and the first one is is just an argument sort of abstract about contractions and the second one uses coupling and and that's where you get the insight that I want to tell you about well its existence and uniqueness theorem oh well the existence parts is not so bad because you're in a compact space displace of probability measures on a compact space with a different topology right it's compact so it's sequentially compact so so to sort of engineer an invariant measure is a classical argument that goes by the name of boku you both kilos so I'm gonna not gonna spell it out but because of compactness you have existence now what about uniqueness well this may be a big block of text but it's it's we've seen this idea before if I wanna I know I appeal here right that that transition functions get close to each other so I can construct a random variable for any initial condition so sorry I should have mentioned I work on on twice the space as we did before and I construct a random variable there which depends on initial conditions and the probably properties that it has is that if I project onto one of the components white right pipe projects into this one and PI prime projects into this one if I look at the distribution of this random variable only its first coordinates then it looks like the measuring I mean one of the measures I'm interested in and if I look at the other projections it looks like the other measure I want to compare and it has this nice property that the probabilities that the thing does not hit the diagonal is that most gamma so I can do that by because the total total variation distance is there info for all coupling I can find a coupling which which which does that and I proceed inductively I may take many copies of this randomness and I define a process inductively so I first take my initial conditions and then to go from step K to step K plus 1 I sort of use this coupling sorry there there should be a PI here sorry said K plus 1 you take is the first component of this map and Zed K Prime you take is the second component of this map and then you can check right that this new what you've created is you've now you have a process which like this and if you look at the distribution of the first component it has the first distributions as the original process and the same for the second and the probability that the the two components never meet each other is exponentially small because at each step I'm sort of optimizing for them to meet so the probability that they never meet is pretty and so right the probability that that K is not equal to set prime K small but that forms a coupling for right if you have this then because this has the distribution of sorry this is a K starting in X and this as the distribution like this right those X and X prime are the initial conditions for your process then you know that this thing's in total variation is small because you've managed to create a coupling which often hits which has a lot of weight on the diagonal okay so that's the idea the idea is you want to prove mixing so you turn our double the space create a process there which often hits the diagonal and that's that's sufficient to prove that evolutions of Dirac masses get close together but then if you write if you integrate this equation in X with respect to the invariant measure which he knows you know exists and this one would respect to some other measure you get that the distance between the target invariant measure and the evolution of your initial conditions is also small does that make sense I think so but so this is the first limited right that I talked about if if you have a uniform upper bound on the variational distance between evolutions of the attacked masses then you can prove exponential mixing but this is a bit ambitious right getting a bound like this which is uniform in all X and X Prime it's not necessarily reasonable especially if X is not compact right so this worked in compact spaces but you can always hope to to to apply this theorem to any old any situation you're interested in so there's a second lemma which is sort of slightly more suffolk sophisticated version of this idea so it still goes through a coupling and it's that if you obvious this estimate only in a in some set but the time you need to wait to get into this set does not have too big of a tail then you're good to go you have exponential mixin and and the idea is is the following you want to create something on twice the space so at first if they're far and from being and they're not equal then you just let them be independently and the time you have to wait for them to enter this B is not too large well maybe at first only one of them will enter in B but if and then it'll go out and then go in but if you if you wait a little more and I've good that you have good at estimates on how long you need to wait then both of them will be there and once they're both there you sort of do a version of the previous lemma and then you're you're you can show that there there's a good problem see that they it hits the diagonal or the two components are equal and then yeah Vista estimates like this and then you can you can prove exponential mixing now so I've introduced there was there were two main words in the first line of my title it was a coupling and controllability approach so that was a coupling part now why controllability why controllability is is important in this business well it's because in those two lemmas right you need an upper bound on on the difference and to get an upper bound on the difference it's sufficient to get a common lower bound right because if this measure is lower bounded by something and this thing also lower bounds this one then you can at least put that on the diagonal it will have the right projections and it won't it won't be a problem so the idea is that if you want to prove a bound on on the difference while you can just prove a common lower bounds which old for all x near some point or in some small set and how do you do that well that's where controllability comes in the the the measure which you obtain by evolving a delta what it is it's it's just the push forward of the love the noise through the solution map right we've seen this in the other mini course so you have you have a space for the noise which is very big and you have the solution map which I call s say T X dot so it takes an initial condition and a control here and it gives you a point in in your while I'm working in RN so maybe I shouldn't draw anything compact but I don't know the plane and that's the image of this map is once you chose that control right you solve the OD e and then you get a point at time T and that's what it maps to so you have a lo here on the controls right the law of the noise call it L I think I called it hell I'm mine we'll see then the law of the solution is just to push forward of this measure through the map so if you think back to to basic calculus and an integral calculus right if you want to push a measure through a nice map you can do it via a change a variable if you have a nice Jacobian if the Jacobian is nice right if if this Jacobian of the if the Jacobian of this map has full rank then then you can do essentially change variable in and you can get a handle on the push forward of the measure and that's the whole idea right the controllability conditions were were conditions on this this having full rank or or without the D just hid covering a ball and so if it covers a bald and bye-bye Sox theorem you can find a point where the derivative has full rank and things like that so that's essentially the idea and now in dilemma there was this other condition that the time to hit that ball where you have where you have good estimates on that should not should not be too large it should decay exponentially well this is closely related to the notion of approximate control really teach at a center it'd be right if if the system is controllable to be then there there exists a lot of control that take you there and then if the law here is nice then yeah you get a lower bound on the probability of going into the set B that's the idea so now I'm ready to present the the main result which was obtained with the Hagen axis young so it is if you haven't has dnr idea of this form the form that I talked about and this process here is a n-dimensional Poisson process with some distribution with for the jumps that has a positive continuous density with respect to the lebesgue measure and you have a dissipative 'ti assumption and to controllability conditions so there exist one point one point in the phase space two which the system is approximately controllable and from which the system is solidly controllable then you have exponential mixing so a few remarks this noise is unbounded it's not Gaussian but because of the the personal structures are Silla a way to reduce it to discrete time problem and still get good estimates so that's what we did in the paper though I I just maybe if people are not sure what I'm what I'm referring to with that type of noise it's it's really I have a random function here which is of this form so there's a sequence of waiting times which are iid and distributed according to an exponential law and have a sequence of jumps which are also iid with some distribution which is nice right I'm assuming it has a positive continuous density with respect to lebesgue measure then my nose is of this form it's it's nothing then at time tau K which is just tau 1 which is just T 1 it jumps by 801 then at time tau 2 which is T 1 plus T 2 the time you have to wait for the second kick it jumps again but now by 82 and this 82 is also random so I read them times you're kicked in in random directions so because of that you can rewrite the the random dynamical system in this way if you want to know what time T small what happens then you just there's no kick yet so you just evolve with zero zero control and when you hit the time of a kick then you just add it so this has nice enough structure that we we can an estimate tickets properly and I want to just recall the definition of solid controllability and approximate controllability so there's this distinguished point X hat in the face place this is my assumption on distribution of jobs so there's this distinguished point X hat there's a number small there's a time there's a compact set in this space of continuous functions and a non-degenerate ball G in RN such that if I have a function which well approximates my solution map on that compact set then this function covers a ball okay so why this condition it goes back to this picture here this picture here what you want to do is you want to do a change of variable so you want this map to have a full rank Jacobian so the way to obtain a full rank Jacobian is usually applying some version of South theorem but turns out that because of the arguments a lot of times you don't just need this map to coverable but also some small perturbations of that map to still coverable so that you can carry all of the analysis through so this is the notion of solid controllability hey I think professor agrichem talked about this notion and in course and the other assumption is that the system is approximately controllable to X hat so in a compact if if you're in a ball of radius R and you allow yourself some time enough time then you can approximately reach X hat from any point in in the in the big ball with that again should this is the kind of thing that will enter that you you hit near this points X hat where you have the squeezing estimates they were preceded in three steps for the theorem as I said you you first want to reduce to a discrete time problem then you want to construct a coupling for the discrete time problem and then you want to come back to the continuous-time problem steps one and two are I mean you have you have to write things down but I don't think there's I mean it's it's it's fairly straightforward and the trick is how you construct that coupling and it it has a similar flavor to what was done for the those PDS that we had this morning so this contraction has to depend on some integer M which is sort of the number of kicks you have to wait for one times like one time step because because the dimension where the kicks happen is much smaller you can't expect in one kick to get wherever you want but if you you sort of allow for many different kicks intertwined with free evolutions then then you sort of you can hit more places so mm is large enough that if you have different kicks and and free evolution in between them then you have good attainability properties so this M has to us to be chosen in a nice way but anyway so if your your coupled process the the two coordinates are different and not both in B then you just let them evolve independently until they hit B we have good control on the time way you have to wait for that and once they're both in B you do a very similar construction to what was done in this lemma one and then you can guarantee that they will coincide after some time and then they will coincide forever and so where each of the controllability conditions come come in is is in the following way so there are three steps right this is my whole my whole face space I have a big compact which is the ball of radius R then I have a little neighborhood of X hat so if both Z&Z Prime are far and different then I wait and because of the dissipative et ride the fact that F points inwards they'll eventually both be inside this compact then inside this compact because of approximate controllability I can estimate the time they need for both to enter this ball near X hat and then from X hat I use solid controllability to make sure that they eventually coincide and that gives me total variation estimates for the the difference between the vault measures yeah so so that's what's written here that's that's the potential is approved and of course there are some estimates you have to carry out that I I hope I sort of if the the main ideas for the abstractor sold and now I have about do I have 10 20 30 20 minutes I want to go back to the more concrete model and maybe explain how you would go about proving these these conditions prefer the concrete model [Applause] aha so the first thing you do is you wanna you want to rewrite the system in this form and so what you do is you write do I want I might want P here then Q dot it's gonna be a sketch of the form that it has because it has a lot of ones and zeroes but just just give you an idea there's a gamma one here then there are a bunch of zeroes then there's a minus gamma L alright that's the dissipation turns p dot the first one is minus P the second one here you have wait how do you do this you do Q dot should be equal to P so that's all right I put dot Q dot sorry anyway I think I think if I put this here then I know how it goes it goes like this and then there's no there's oh my go star and then Omega and then you probably have a zero here right then I have two plus small no not a small but a sub linear term and then I have plus a matrix which looks like been a bunch of zeros and Sigma N and no it's an L and then lots of zeros applied to some noise okay where make a star in omega right or should I say Omega sorry Omega is a matrix which encodes the the although the Kappas in decays and just it's a matrix which has a bunch of the square which was like the Kappas in the case and so how do you ensure that such a system as good controllability properties well maybe I shouldn't well you first focus on the linear part and you have this this so-called Kalman condition which we I don't think we talked about it in the mini course but if you this is one of the case that we saw in the mini course is actually right it's it's a fixed vector field plus a linear combination of some controls and what you do if you want to check controllability properties one way to do it is to compute the brackets of this and stem constant vector fields with what these constant what yeah sorry this linear vector field with which with this constant one but but computing ly brackets for something linear and something constant is pretty easy it's just it's just product of matrices you can compute that and there's a rank condition on the product of matrices so you can check that without the sub linear turns it has good controllability properties and then because this is really sub linear and and if you ensure if you put the right conditions on the the sub linear turn then these controllability properties will be researched sir so at the heart of this study of this model is the study of the linear case and that's why with this model I cannot do a cue to the four things like that that the the people in Geneva were about to do because at the heart of the the controllability arguments there there's the study of the linear case which is very well known I mean people have worked on the linear case for for ages and and a lot of nose is known about it so it's the basis of the analysis and and again this so-called Kalman condition on this matrix with this matrix is related to to how the springs are connected and things like that so so physically it makes sense but I cannot do to the other order of potentials other than quadratic so that's essentially all I wanted to say so thank you for your attention [Applause]

Narcotic vs Cyfro - ESL Go4SC2 #437 (Ro64)
here we are on dead wing and spawned in the bottom right as the teal Terran playing for my insanity it is narcotic and he's already opened up with gas here birds also finishing up his opponent on the other hand the pink zerg cypher oh and he opened up hedge first added in his spawning pool and it's also taking a guess mycotic is already moving out with a single SUV and building Reaper behind us so he's gonna be able to scout something out and let's see if he's gonna add another Reaper to actually apply some pressure or if this just the lucky Reaper to check out if his opponent is up to his micro won't get to see nope there's a second Reaper coming out see what this first one can do he's making his way across the mat and looks like there's not gonna be a knock lucky scout coming in for cypher oh he's just sending that Overlord across the map so not not quite getting lucky scout but of course gone for two queens almost immediately oh and narcotic don't her and cypher should have scouted this out yeah quite some time ago but he he's just recruiting his drones again he was gonna pull drones but not like this not like this good micro coming out of cipher keep him lurking still life of course we want the Reapers in there and he needs to watch out that's the first circling down and ate more are incoming so he should be able to deal with this but there's the second Reaper coming and so he still needs to watch out and my kotik is doing a pretty awesome job keeping this Reaper alive now that the Buckra is done he can apply some pressure here unfortunately Reapers I'll go the extra damage was buildings anymore that was ages ago so he's not gonna be able to take out this hatchery but at least Pleasant pressure and will force some more zerglings maybe maybe even the spine we'll have to see first we'll have another Reaper coming in so that's the third one for you and I think that's about it as far as reproductions concerned now to Queens a whaling away at the sparker and the bugs are transferring so yeah looks like vlogger will be salvaged but did he actually get his money back i think was destroyed before it wasn't it might have possibly not but this that's the first Reaper going down but 20 circling some production of ass i fro maybe little little overreaction to this a little bit of investment narcotic of course got the bunker up behind this so he can be safe Vercetti counter-pressure and it's going for the 111 so start part is incoming and overlord scouted most of the main base he's got the gas timing but he hasn't seen any production dressed yet that's the 20 links making their way over they do have speed now and it's actually 26 by now that's a lot of links but oh all this is closed off a narcotic has some aliens to defend so and I think these links are gonna do all that much by themselves but cipher was getting a third behind this and he stayed in gat oh no he just said his workers back into gas so I'm not gonna be able to do a baneling bust after this if you do want to fall off the prevailing bust at least have one worker in there so you can get the baneling nest going and then once you really decide to jump on that baneling bust tactic you gotta go for more more more more drones in the gas of course these links I'm not going to do all that much so cypher Will has some catching up to do is it 32 workers but so is narcotic and you really don't want to have a Terran at the same work account as you that's a lot of hellions already moving out there's a banshee behind this and more hey Liam production to follow it up so narcotic has a pretty strong army already while cipher was just caught a key right now he's gone for the lab tech getting getting his evo chambers up and mycotic micros this ride he can kill pretty much all these earthlings and at least put on some pressure to this third moon getting caught here in mineral line but I'm saving most of us most of his aliens and he should be able to get rid of all these circlings yes you can 18 more arm production and this Queen might go down yes yes it will and that's the next one that's about to go down aside from you're in trouble man doesn't have any death of any defense right now that's links coming out and they should clear this up lease with the additional links that are coming in it's still the economic damage has just been disastrous for cypher oh and right now he doesn't have any Queens and that Banshee it's making its way across the map here pretty soon actually does he have a single man she already yes he does so one banshee wait where is it over here it's sitting right on top of the army and that's the second battery coming out so he's gonna go for a double banshee harass and this harassment might actually kill cypher Oh straight on like he doesn't have any defense right now just a single Queen no spores available is not even producing any more Queens he's just gearing up for that a baneling bust which is gonna come so incredibly late that narcotic should almost certainly be fully prepared for this see if the zerglings can defend the ground attack here but it doesn't look like narcotics really really going for any more ground aggression this is mostly for defense maybe checking if you can get the zerglings while they are still out on the map and off creep but I doubt that he's actually gonna go for any aggression with us right now maybe at the same time with the banshees that would be a great idea just load the entire army back out and then just make sure that cipher was preoccupied and going with your energies into the main or just anywhere where you can actually do some decent damage in the work lines plus 1 million tech is almost done for sife row and kind of curious why narcotic thing we actually use his banshees just yet that's how about transition and they're moving in workers out pulled immediately but that's not gonna help all that much the Queen will go down down here and how about just making the way across that's a lot of beings coming in but he's pre-emptive splitting is pretty good and yeah that's all the banelings detonating in pretty much just two or three hell bets there and that's the GG well played narcotic moves on to the round of 32

DO Sweat the Small Stuff” - Clarity Compressed: Episode 251 | Paul J Daly
welcome to episode 251 of clarity compressed my name is Paul J Daly I'll be your host and today we're going to talk about why you should sweat the small stuff [Music] let the good times roll this is Clarity compressed a while back I mean gosh we're probably going back 20 years ago there's a book that came out and it was called don't sweat the small stuff and I understand the premise of the book right because you can take the little things on your shoulders and eventually those little things add up and they weigh you down and then it's like oh right you can't walk around right if you're sweating the small stuff making the little things a big deal I understand the premise of the book I have to say though I disagree with that now there does have to be a balance between you know knowing when you know paying attention to things in order of priority or an order of magnitude right it's tough to like not pay attention to the fact that you know like there's a window broken right it's a big thing as opposed to is the window clean which is a small thing when it comes to how do I keep my house uh you know contained from the weather Etc however the small things if as I think about this the small stuff is mostly the stuff that the people remember I mean you got to get the big things right without a doubt and thinking in terms of I guess if you're a business owner or even if you're just in a relationship there's an element of the small things over time adding up to the big things is really how it works even if you think in the terms of gardening right it's the small behaviors that added up over time add up to the big things right making sure it's weeded making sure it's watered properly right every day little increments but if you don't sweat the small stuff on those days guess what's going to happen you're not going to have anything growing in your garden same thing's true for relationship um this is something I've been learning a lot about and thinking about a lot in my own life in my marriage and it's that healthy relationship and healthy marriage is a constant um behavior of planting seeds that will grow into good things in the future right not Monumental things but little things and pulling the Weeds on a regular basis that grow up in any relationship because you can't just plant it and think a garden is going to be fine over time it takes a lot of Maintenance over time trying to grow in those things trying to be more aware of those things and they also translate into the world of business they also Translate in the world of either business ownership or operating inside of business and you know customer relations or client relations it's the small stuff you know think about this in even in Live Events and things like that it's the small stuff it's the details if you've ever gone to a great restaurant or a great hotel in Hospitality you realize it's the small stuff and it's the details so many times they're the things that didn't take a lot of time or effort or money just took some intentionality to create a really amazing amazing experience that's why Chick-fil-A works if you've been to a Chick-fil-A you realize the difference there's a seismic difference between a Chick-fil-A and a McDonald's and a Chick-fil-A and a Popeyes on average right you might have some really great operators every now and again with a with a McDonald's or Popeyes so I'm not saying you can't but Chick-fil-A has normalized sweating the small stuff the little details they've made a part of their process everyone knows they say my pleasure instead of thank you right and you everyone else can say my pleasure too but what they've normalized is the mindset behind it is when you say my pleasure you're really here to serve the guest to serve the guest not to throw fries at them to serve the guests in Hospitality you can check in and the process might not be the best check-in process you've ever seen you might not be at the nicest hotel but if the person behind the desk says something uh you know is kind um goes out of their way just a little bit to sweat the small details hey I noticed you have a young child would you like a bottle of water would you like this thing would you like that thing is there anything I can do to help you sweating the small stuff when you're at a live event making sure that you don't mail it in on a little detail right we're doing uh we're doing a webinar my one of my companies uh A sodu Automotive State of the Union where we're putting out a webinar for a company that offers video marketing ad placement um Ott I don't want to get into the details of it but basically you can they can sell you space so that when you're someone's watching you know their streaming television you'll see a commercial right so they can sell the ad placement there and we're putting on this webinar and everyone knows that like hey when you log into a webinar there's a countdown timer and um you know kind of the webinar or maybe there's not a countdown timer sometimes and then it'll start at the time it's supposed to start if everything's going fine and so we're like okay we need a countdown timer there well how do we then um how do we then make that a little bit better what do we do actually let's sweat the small stuff let's actually put some really fun car commercials in there so when people are wait when people are waiting they'll actually be surprised with a funny commercial and a laugh and they'll show up into the webinar uh ready to go in a good mood guess what it doesn't cost us any more money to do that it actually cost us very little time to make it happen but what it did what it did take is intentionality for us to think how can we sweat the small stuff to make even that part of the experience a little bit better so I don't want you to feel like every little detail if you don't get it right then you're a bad person or you're not doing well right I know what it's like to feel that way but what I do want to turn your attention to what are some of the small things in your life some of the small stuff that you can that you can sweat how can you sweat some of the small stuff that's going to make a a notable difference it could be in how you relate to your kids in the morning when they're on the way to school or packing your lunches how can you pay attention to a few small details it will actually make a difference over time can you put a note in the in the notebook can you start the day with a hug can you make sure that um you know when you see someone for the first time that day in your family that you don't just let it go by that you just give a little bit of intentionality to that morning hello or the morning hug there are things all over and I think as you think about it for a second there are things all over whether it's relationship with your family uh your co-workers things you're doing maybe if you work remotely you know things you're doing on slack or via email that if you just sweat the small stuff a little bit more it will make a massive distinctive difference in the way everything else works and everything else compiles I like to think in terms of hospitality you know with restaurants and hotels and travel and how just the little things sometimes make the biggest differences so I hope that you catch the drift of what I'm saying today I hope you don't understand that I'm not saying that if you get details wrong small stuff that you should throw it in your backpack and carry it around with you but I am saying with a little more intentionality a little more thoughtfulness about what's actually going on I think you'll be able to make a massive jump forward over time if you just sweat the small stuff a little bit more thanks for spending some time with me I hope we can sweat some of the small stuff together make a big difference over time I will see you [Music]

something's gonna happen oh hello hello i'm sorry but the person you called has a voice mailbox that why do i have a feeling no one's going to answer the phone because i'm not calling chicago numbers so they're not going to recognize the area code but i think i need to start calling out of state just to make sure they don't come and burn my house down so you never know see i got a feeling that's what we're gonna do all night just we're gonna hear ringing all night and no one's gonna answer the goddamn phone it's friday night though like this should be pretty popular i don't know popular something i'm gonna [ __ ] this up i could feel i'm not even sure if i'm in the mood to do this you kind of don't know until you start doing it that was answering i guarantee you it's i guarantee it's the area code i bet you the air codes [ __ ] [ __ ] up god damn it the text now subscriber you are trying to reach is not a son of a [ __ ] people here are dumb as [ __ ] says joe horrell uh thank you joe you don't have to tell us anything that we don't already know we know we're dumb as [ __ ] why do you think we're here on a friday night you think we're [ __ ] rock legends or einsteins or anything no we're idiots that listen to nickelback that hang out on the internet on friday nights that's what we are and if we're not listening to nickelback we're jamming to some billy ray cyrus because he's the [ __ ] man he is coming back all right i'm trying one more time and that's it i'm giving up because i got a feeling this may not happen one more time hello cherokee oh my god this is a [ __ ] buzz kill you need to be buzzing or have a buzz kill but come on the text now subscriber you are trying to reach is not available [ __ ] text now this text now that get the guitar out you know i've i got the phone out i'm wearing my headphones for a reason you think i enjoy wearing these [ __ ] goddamn things i had a plan to make some calls and it's kind of backfired i was talking about people in new mexico oh you want me to call people in new mexico people are not even answering in other parts of the world i think my area code or whatever is coming up chicago and that's why people are not answering it because i'm calling people outside of chicago let me try to find a really desperate ad something that's really really oh let me see here try to find something you guys feel free to talk among yourselves while i uh find something all right here we go oh my god what is this holy jesus if i could show you guys pictures oh my lord oh wow being with this chick would probably

call angela for that's no fun should i call angela let me call angelo she's probably watching that's no fun i don't want to call angela no we're not calling angela i don't think that's fun where's st we need to laugh uh i don't know maybe este is watching maybe he's sleeping maybe he's out tearing up the town all right i'm gonna go to chicago my hometown i think i'll have better luck there people will probably answer the phone people will probably and all right here we go all right this might work a little better now all right let's we're going to start all over we're going to pretend like nothing even happened and we're gonna pretend like this is the first caller of the night the the first 30 minutes of the show do not exist all right all right let's try this to do that do that and i'm thinking i'm going to do this yes i'm going to [ __ ] this up something's going to happen what's up um is this uh oh let me know your name uh jewel baby or diamond hello hello diamond jewel baby i can't hear you all right i guessed it this is not gonna work [Laughter] all right i'm gonna try one more time and i swear that's it i'm trying to look for really pathetic ads like nothing like disgusting here's another disgusting one like the kind of hookers that are you know that are home like they're they ain't going out and no one's calling them so i want to be that one guy that actually calls him cross your fingers folks and i got a feeling the first one probably not going to be funny [Music] please leave your message for seven seven three all right i'm done that's it no more phone calls folks party's over i gave it a shot it didn't work i called what seven people six people he has to tuck his balls up his crack give the guy a minute you know i know you're not are you referring to me michael i actually tuck my penis in my sack and then i cover it up i can actually hide my penis that's how sad how sad it is there will be an after show once this disaster is over with there will be there's going to be an after show it's probably a lot better than this though vegas hookers are working you know what john let's do this i'm gonna go with john because i got a feeling i don't know who john is but i just got a feeling john's right on this one so how do i get to how do i get that particular state here is the question all right this might take a half hour but we're going to do it i just got to figure out how to [ __ ] let me type let me die i should have had all this ready beforehand ah there we go all right um what do we got what do we got what do we got here we go we're going to try it again at least in vegas they'll probably answer any area code because people take vacations to vegas right so it's probably normal and how to say her name jesus christ call batman i am what are you [ __ ] crazy friday night all the good hookers are busy yeah i'm not calling the good hookers i'm calling the ones that have the nerve to even call themself a hooker it's bad what's up partha if anybody wants to come well since nobody came on i'm not in zoom i'm on obs so if we end up adding people to the show what i have to do is go in zoom open zoom and i gotta redo the screen so it's kind of a little bit of work so far a lot of fun thank you terry i totally agree like i'm glad i titled the show where i titled it i didn't want people to expect too much when they clicked on this they're probably thinking oh my god this is going to be great nope not at all you have to leave a message and they call you back mark screening process look at zadie over here with the dropping his knowledge on how to properly call a hooker all right let's uh you know what let's do that oh there we go all right so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna call one and leave a message and then they'll call us back how nice is that oh this one looks oh is this a chick or is this a dude i don't think i've ever seen hair on a chick's face like that it looks like a full beard god damn all right let's try to do this here do that [Music] all right um the number you are trying to call is not in service at the moment how the [ __ ] is it not in service at the moment it's either the [ __ ] phone is in service or it's not in service it's one of the two there's no like you know not in service at this time or at this moment oh my god so now that we're willing to leave a message for some of these goddamn crack [ __ ] now we're getting our this one looks like this one looks like she may uh be on the very last days of her lives of her life so let's at least try to get a phone call in before she uh ends it all because this one looks really strung out wow this probably got a phone jesus had mercy hey this uh selena hello uh are you around tonight are you around tonight yeah um you're doing uh where are you at are you what hotel are you staying at in vegas oh my this [ __ ] hung up on me i'm calling this [ __ ] [ __ ] back oh you better answer the [ __ ] phone you don't hang up on me you son of a [ __ ] i was trying to start off like normal you know what i'm going to do i'm going to call her number all night long she answers it because i know she just pushed me over to voicemail i i got hung up on by a [ __ ] vegas crack [ __ ] i'm sorry but the person you called has a voice mailbox that has not been set up yet well the [ __ ] better set it up because i'm going to be calling all [ __ ] night long until she answers the goddamn phone because you can't hang up on me i don't even get to what i wanted to say she was in the mood she's out she sounded like she was in the mood unless she just sent me the voicemail again hey hello hello yeah why'd you hang up i don't know you're asking so much questions oh my god okay let's get straight to the nitty-gritty how much do you weigh because in each photos do you look like you're pushing 400 or 450 no not even now and how do you weigh this much and spoke crack at the same time so i'm calling my phone sir no i'm gonna keep calling it all [ __ ] night long we want to know how are you smoking crack and still able to gain weight because i've been actually smoking meth and i cannot gain weight i'm just [ __ ] [ __ ] hung up on me again i should i call her back or that be harassment it might be harassment i think of like i think a third i think a third time is harassment you ain't [ __ ] going outside get the [ __ ] out of here yeah i think uh i don't think she liked that too much but that's that's see that's okay though because i didn't like being hung up on if she didn't hang up on me i would have called her a [ __ ] fat crack [ __ ] so i think she kind of i think she did it to herself jack white oh no this is a harassment okay we're not calling her back uh come on i mean what do you expect though all right you gotta find something notice how i say something and not someone we got to find something here i'm also when i'm i'm looking for really lower class prostitutes but at the same time i'm looking for ones that look like they will they have an attitude problem like if they were getting called up um and someone said something to them like like i did they'd go off on them so let's try this one right she looks like a [ __ ] [ __ ] i said that with such anger she looks like a [ __ ] something tells me i shouldn't call this one just i don't know why like it's a bad idea but did [Music] yep i still got my chatterbait account i haven't gone on chatterbait in a long time the text now subscriber you were trying to reach is not available what the [ __ ] is this text now [ __ ] call a truck stop yeah we did that the other week and that kind of went south i had to delete the part of the feed and yeah i don't know i thought it was funny but it might have been kind of on the border of uh maybe illegal uh not illegal just you know all right here's one that looks pretty this one looks special and she looks angry but it's on her uh they're i'm gonna say but here we go we're gonna so this is what's this is why i need to hire like a a call person so they could do all the phone calls and then when the call goes through chinese takeout yeah we'll try that smooth good idea um when the call is ready they could send it through [Music] this person's on the strip oh my god this is this is a buzzkill this is a goddamn buzzkill all right we'll call a chinese restaurant i'm sorry the person you were trying to reach has a voicemail box that has not been set up yet of course they don't set the [ __ ] up all right someone just text me why would they text me when i called them all right so i'm going to call this person hold on keep your pants on i might have somebody here i know you guys are fed up i'm fed up too all this work and no action all right so this person okay i see what the deal is probably not real all right chinese place let's see [Music] um here we go now here we go now here we go now all right let's see what we got here um here we go i'm trying to find some of the worst chinese restaurants in the world and i was going to call them up where's chinese wow there's actually websites devoted to the worst chinese restaurants ever um now see these ain't chinese is the great buffet is that open oh hopefully they're open because they got really bad reviews horrible reviews and of course they are not open yes this i can promise you folks this will happen one day we will get a

free at all tonight well not free yeah i mean i know you're not free but um like what do you get what you know you know i'm asked what don't you get into is better than asking what do you get into terror and i don't do anal okay um now for a [Music] considerably decent amount of money would you be okay with uh like potty play like pooing on me what do you mean baby like i'll lay in the bathtub like an empty bathtub and you could squat over me and just like no touching or anything and just kind of like you know poo on me i could do like five years you want me to like squat over you yeah i don't give a [ __ ] all right um i got 500 so if you're able to do anything within the 500 range can you tell tell her to shut up please i'm trying to but i lay [Music] i would like to lay in the bathtub all right okay now you either put your feet on the edge of the tub and then you kind of squat your butt over me and then you you pretty much you can urinate and duty on me oh okay that's what you're on yeah i don't i don't i don't yeah yeah because i don't do sex with strangers i don't really get off on sex much anymore i'm kind of i'm not into anything weird but now for something like that um do you think you can produce like yeah i can definitely do that i have um experience with that oh okay so you got like um uh yeah i have a couple of regular i have a regular number two on him i guess i don't know what you use for it and then i have another one that i do golden showers for oh nice yeah i don't mind golden showers i'm more into this is more my thing now um can you like poo on command or is it kind of we got to wait till it's ready to you know what i mean yeah i would have i would have to come to you when um like basically my stomach is ready for that okay because like i'm lactose intolerant so i could like eat something dirty and that'll can you have to use the restroom do you think you can get one moving by midnight tonight or no yeah okay of course okay um and just so you know you're just so you know i'm serious i could like send you like a deposit of like a hundred bucks or something over cash app or something like that just so you know i hear some some people in the background are those your friends um it's just like i don't know have you ever been in main street yeah that's it's like the little street where the girls are yeah so it's like a lot of people outside right now walking back and forth yeah i'm on the sidewalk okay um so you're okay now there's one there's one thing about me that i probably should tell you i don't i don't see how i would make anything different but um i'm slightly i'm i'm slightly handicapped i'm fine i can function but i'm just let you know i'm slightly handicapped okay i don't i don't have my uh i lost my legs in vietnam so oh yeah but i'm fully for your service man well no problem no problem but i don't need any kind of assistance or anything like that i could do everything myself okay but i don't want you to freak out when i'm like walking around no i wouldn't freak out babe that's like you know i know a lot of people because you know this have disabilities and missing legs and stuff so have you ever i don't i don't get scared of it it doesn't scare me have you ever been with a guy with no legs or no yeah i have okay well then then it should be pretty normal then over here all right yeah so um are you are you so after you get done releasing on me is it okay if i eat the remaining out of your butt um yeah that's fine you don't okay i mean i don't eat it i just like to get it in my face and in my mouth so i i don't know i have this weird like lick it out basically yeah i had this weird thing when i was young like yeah it was me and my dad and the priest but something about it i don't know stuck with me and kept me it gets me excited now like i don't get off on normal sex it has to involve you know some type of fluid something yeah so but i'm you know and i got no legs so even if i did something bad to you you could just kick me like a soccer ball you know right how was it it would be easy for me to get away yeah and um just to be clear i do not want to have sex i don't have no sex no oral sex okay okay um i just want to be honest with you i have herpes but i do not want to touch you at all whatsoever like i don't have no sex no [ __ ] nothing like that simply because i have herpes and i don't you know want to spread it so this is why another reason why i do this i prefer the bathtub thing so there's no touching or anything like that and i don't have them in my mouth so you know if i eat what's left in your butt um you won't get them but if you feel uncomfortable about it we could put saran wrap over my face and we could do it that way but i can tell you i've done this about 20 times now i do it every time i come down to vegas and never once have i gotten a phone call the next day saying hey you gave me herpes so okay as long as you're comfortable with all that i mean you can make an easy 500 tonight you know okay yeah that's fine um do you plan on eating before you come yeah okay i'll eat something yeah that way when i come it should already be ready and to go now if if if you have a friend with you i'm willing to pay pay double if they'll come with you and you guys can both get on the bathtub together i'll do 500 i could do five hours to her because i don't know if she does that type of stuff i should um talk to her can you talk to her real quick give me a call back yeah okay let me know and if so i'm gonna run downstairs to the atm and get some more money but like let me know call me within the next five minutes okay babe all right love you okay bye that one wasn't really see those ones are not really funny those are more like how far will this girl go to make some money i mean technically she's not doing much of anything she doesn't have to like do anything to me all she has to do is take a [ __ ] and to be completely honest with you if someone was gonna pay me to take a [ __ ] maybe 500 i would have no problem doing that and i'm pretty sure some of you in chat if all you had to do was take a [ __ ] on somebody for 500 you like hell i'll do that [ __ ] long as you ain't touching me and you ain't [ __ ] me and all i gotta do is take a [ __ ] i got no problem all right i guess we're gonna wait for the phone call and see if the friend's gonna be up for it that did go deep and i was trying to think like how much deeper could i go i don't have any legs i've got herpes um can you take a [ __ ] on me and it was like everything she was cool with and she'll even let me eat the [ __ ] out of her ass while having herpes so i mean hey hard worker i guess right so when is she coming over well she's in vegas so if anybody uh that is watching that's in vegas right now i could send over send her over to your house uh spectre ns5 what's up spectre thanks for that lovely five dollar donation mark do you like edging or sounding with metal rods what i've heard of edging before but i forget what it is can you please tell me what edging is and then the sounding with metal rods i have no [ __ ] clue what the hell that meant but what's edging i forgot someone clue me in i'm waiting for this chick to call back i want to know if her friend is going to willing to do it for i want to talk to the friend because this chick sounds like she'll do anything i want to talk to a friend to see how far we can get hurt to go i can mail you my [ __ ] you pay me a hundred bucks there you go can you mail [ __ ] logs in the mail i wonder i'll [ __ ] on you for a bulk you have to have no legs and get [ __ ] on there you go all right i don't if she doesn't call me back i'll call her back anywho we we could do one more restaurant let's see um indian restaurant maybe not indian mexican restaurant um i don't know about that i love my mexican brothers and sisters not that i don't love my chinese brothers and sisters but i don't want to call a mexican restaurant because i fear they might hunt me down now that the chinese won't because there is the chinese mafia but still i think if it's just a prank call they're not gonna send the mafia out after me why would they do that it's a waste of like a call but you never know right all right i'm thinking here hmm let me think i have to call oh let's call walmart oh hey what's up hello hey hey babe yeah so i have a friend she wouldn't come with me she said okay sweetie try to make it no later than no later than midnight um but give me give me i want i need at least a half hour to

yeah i don't know what happened yeah i was gonna say like what did i say um before before midnight just give me call me a half hour before you're on your way so i could just get things ready and i guess it really comes down to you girls when you're you know go out to eat eat some something hefty and uh now are you and your friend do you guys usually she on the puppy again i'm starting to think this chick doesn't know how to use a phone i haven't even touched the [ __ ] keyboard but this is the second time she's hung up on me i'm not touching anything yeah i think something might be wrong

soft it's more solid solid okay and so i'll explain to you really quick you guys um you guys who's that talking in the background does she want to join or no anywho um no um if you guys wanna oh okay okay if you guys want to stop maybe for a burrito or something get kind of filled up and then i told you i told uh your friend just call me a half hour before you're on your way so i can get things ready and like i said there's no touching no [ __ ] no no nothing it's just this and that's it yeah she she explained everything to me okay we were actually gonna go grab a bite to eat right now with each other that's perfect and then we can head to you okay so just give me a give me a call when you guys are on your way i'm trying to think if that's it yeah and try try your best not to urinate

what works it's up to a manager to potentially identify situation and potentially offer suggestions apart from obvious mistakes it would really come down to how observant I think that their direct supervisors were in the company as a business in just being able to observe people and understanding I think potentially human nature and understanding when a person might be having an issue a particular mistake that someone makes by the time the next person picks it up and then goes back the amount of down time that you could potentially lose not to mention the embarrassment if a job went out and it got delivered to the to the wrong address because say someone's misread a pallet number or an invoice docket number good language and literacy within a team I think would be highly important to foster the team environment and potentially one person could be alienated from within a team environment because of their lack of understanding so it's not being able to do your job because you're busy filling out paperwork because something happened because someone couldn't quite understand what they had to do or we've got the new RS 5000 on 5 machine in and instead of doing it the normal way that was shown now there's a new step and some are through them the manual i said i read that there's a couple of updates I can't read this but I'll try and that's the thing people have so many coping mechanisms to try and get people to believe that they are doing there are things and can do the right things and can understand and they are so good at it it's deception but it's deception for success they think they'll be successful by deceiving other people that yes I know what I'm doing but they could be putting themselves and others at risk we knew we had an issue because the the information all the guys out in the field telling us we can't use these computers we're really scared we don't know what to do what if we break it they were just they were just frightened there was a there was a lot of fear because it's an aging workforce there's a lot of fear around technology because it was different when our role is advertised it doesn't matter what role it is whether it's a white color or blue collar role they do compulsory language literacy numeracy testing it's really up to a business to whether they can see the value in something and can see a return on their investment

!Audacious Daily Devotionals - Friday 1st October 2021
hello church how are you doing today um my name's rebecca and i'm from our manchester campus and hope you are doing well i've had my morning coffee i'm good to go i've got my bottle of water as well keep myself hydrated so i am ready i hope you guys are as well um at whatever point in the day you are watching these uh how good have these uh video devotions been just hearing different people's take on uh scriptures they've just you know held dearly to them and you know just kept kept hold of in situations i hope that they've been useful to you and you've been able to um gather some new scriptures to keep in your arsenal for whenever you need them um but today i'm going to be showing from a scripture that has kind of been one of my go-to's for so many years um and something that i'll return to time and time again you know it's been written in my journals it's been written on my mirroring lipstick and it's been repeated like a mantra of truth and i just really really love it and so this today's scripture is romans 12 12 and and i'm going to read from the good news bible version i just love that that version of this and it says let your hope keep you joyful be patient in your troubles and pray at all times and a short and sweet one today i'm just going to say that again let your hope keep you joyful be patient in your troubles and pray at all times um so throughout paul's letters uh which is obviously where this comes from in romans he continues to describe um like kind of a series of short like related short commands um and the three commands in this verse are really key um to our emotional and spiritual well-being as christians and so the first command is to rejoice in hope and here paul is encouraging us to declare our reasons to be joyful it's not a command to be happy it's not like just be happy no matter what but it's to have the right perspective on our situation so even if we might be in a you know a tough situation uh or just a bit having a bit of a like a bit of a blah day um we just need to you know the command is to rejoice in hope so declare our reasons to be joyful things like that we have breath in our lungs we have food on our table we have clothes to wear and you know personally i have a job to go to i have a car that i can drive and these these things that remind us um to the reasons to be joyful and the reasons that you know is to so key so it kind of just brings us back to a reality check of yeah that situation is bad but just think about all these other things all these other reasons to be joyful you know there's those um physical and material things and the other one is that we have a god who loves us and a god who's you know always looking out for us and always thinking about us it's just you know definitely a command that we need to keep hold of as we go through our day-to-day lives and the next command is to be patient in your troubles this is a tough one um but it becomes much easier if we are keeping the other two commands so those who see that their future is worth celebrating and who pray to the father continually will have a much easier time of being patient during hardship so if we can you know remember the the times to be joyful and we can pray then in our troubles we know that being patient is the best thing to do um you know paul is not downplaying any genuine pain of you know any experience especially experience he's gone through but he's pointed out that the struggles of life on earth are not worth comparing with the glory to come and so being able to be in that moment and know that the troubles you know you just have to they're just you know they're there we just gotta be patient you know god said that y'all will call me never said life was gonna be easy but we just need to be patient in those troubles but also do the other two commands of being you know joyful and knowing what's to come and praying at all times and then finally the command in the verse is to be constant consistent constant consistent in prayer or to pray at all times that's easier during kind of any time of you know suffering i think is definitely the easiest time to pray but also just at any time you know when you've driven to work and you've got all the green lights like pray and thank god um as well as in those times of despair and you need to call out his name we should pray you know prayer brings a connection with our father through the holy spirit and and he hears us he understands us and he helps us in our in you know in our in response even to the clumsiest attempts to communicate with him i know sometimes my prayers they can be short they can be mumbled they can literally just be shout in jesus name but even those clumsiest attempts to communicate with him he listens and he understands and that's something that is just truly beautiful to remember but church if you remember anything from this devotion it is these three commands let hope keep you joyful be patient in your troubles and pray at all times i hope this has helped you today church it's just a reminder of you know god's love and i'm what we're here to do in this earth here to have an amazing life you know god wants the best for us we're there to show his glory and and yeah just hope you have a really really great day and i will definitely see you soon bye

Global economic monoculture | Wikipedia audio article
the anti-globalization movement or counter globalization movement is a social movement critical of economic globalization the movement is also commonly referred to as the global justice movement alter-globalization movement and a globalist movement anti corporate globalization movement or movement against neoliberal globalization participants base their criticisms on a number of related ideas what is shared is that participants oppose large multinational corporations having unregulated political power exercised through trade agreements and deregulated financial markets specifically corporations are accused of seeking to maximize profit at the expense of work safety conditions and standards labor hiring and compensation standards environmental conservation principles and the integrity of national legislative authority independence and sovereignty as of January 2012 some commentators have characterized changes in the global economy as turbo capitalism Edward Lautrec market fundamentalism George Soros casino capitalism susan strange Enders McCord Benjamin barber many anti-globalization activists do not oppose globalization in general and call for forms of global integration that better provide Democratic representation advancement of human rights fair trade and sustainable development and therefore fill the term anti-globalization is misleading topic ideology and causes supporters believe that by the late 20th century those they characterized as ruling elites sought to harness the expansion of world markets for their own interests this combination of the Bretton Woods institutions states and multinational corporations has been called globalization or globalization from above in reaction various social movements emerge to challenge their influence these movements have been called anti globalization or globalization from below topic opposition to intern financial institutions and transnational corporations people opposing globalization believe that international agreements and global financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund IMF and the World Trade Organization undermined local decision making corporations that use these institutions to support their own corporate and financial interests can exercise privileges that individuals and small businesses cannot including the ability to move freely across borders extract desired natural resources use a wide variety of human resources the movement aims for an end to the legal status of corporate personhood and the dissolution of free market fundamentalism and the radical economic privatization measures of the World Bank the IMF and the World Trade Organization activists are especially opposed to the various abuses which they think are perpetuated by globalization and the international institutions that they say promote in the old liberalism without regard to ethical standards or environmental protection common targets include the World Bank WB International Monetary Fund IMF the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD and the World Trade Organization WTO and free trade treaties like the north american free trade agreement NAFTA free trade area of the Americas FTAA the trans-pacific trade agreement TPP a the multilateral agreement on investment Meyer and the general agreement on trade in services GATS in light of the economic gap between rich and poor countries adherents of the movement claim that free trade without measures to protect the environment and the health and well-being of workers will merely increase the power of industrialized nations often termed the north in opposition to the developing world's south proponents of this line of thought referred to the process as polarization and argue that current neoliberal economic policies have given wealthiest states an advantage over developing nations enabling their exploitation and leading to a widening of the global wealth gap a report by Jean Ziegler UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food notes that millions of farmers are losing their livelihoods in the developing countries but small farmers in the northern countries are also suffering and concludes that the current inequities of the global trading system are being perpetuated rather than resolved under the WTO given the unequal of power between member countries activists point to the unequal footing and power between developed and developing nations within the WTO and with respect to global trade most specifically in relation to the protectionist policies towards agriculture enacted in many developed countries these activists also point out that heavy subsidization of developed nations agriculture and the aggressive use of export subsidies by some developed nations to make their agricultural products more attractive on the international market are major causes of declines in the agricultural sectors of many developing nations topic global opposition to neoliberalism through the internet a movement began to develop in opposition to the doctrines of neoliberalism which were widely manifested in the 1990s when the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD proposed liberalisation of cross-border investment and trade restrictions through its multilateral agreement on investment Meyer this treaty was prematurely exposed to public scrutiny and subsequently abandoned in November 1998 in the face of strenuous protest and criticism by national and international civil society representatives neoliberal doctrine argued that untrammeled free trade and reduction of public sector regulation would bring benefits to poor countries and to disadvantaged people in rich countries anti-globalization advocates urged that preservation of the natural environment human rights especially workplace rights and conditions and democratic institutions are likely to be placed at undue risk by globalization unless mandatory standards are attached to liberalisation Noam Chomsky stated in 2002 that the term globalization has been appropriated by the powerful to refer to a specific form of international economic integration one based on investor rights with the interests of people incidental that is why the business press in its more honest moments refers to their free trade agreements as free investment agreements Wall Street Journal accordingly advocates of other forms of globalization are described as anti globalization and some unfortunately even accept this turn though it is a term of propaganda that should be dismissed with ridicule no sane person is opposed to globalization that is international integration surely not the left workers movements which were founded on the principle of international solidarity that is globalization in a form that attends to the rights of people not private power systems topic anti-war movement by 2002 many parts of the movement showed wide opposition to the impending invasion of Iraq many participants were among those 11 million or more protesters that on the weekend of February 15 2003 participated in global protests against the imminent Iraq war other anti-war demonstrations were organized by the anti-globalization movement see for example the large demonstration organized against the impending war in Iraq which closed the first European Social Forum in November 2002 in Florence Italy anti-globalization militants worried for a proper functioning of democratic institutions as the leaders of many democratic countries Spain Italy Poland and the United Kingdom were acting against the wishes of the majorities of their populations in supporting the war Chomsky asserted that these leaders showed their contempt for democracy critics of this type of argument have tended to point out that this is just a standard criticism of representative democracy a democratically elected government will not always act in the direction of greatest current public support and that therefore there is no inconsistency in the leaders positions given that these countries are parliamentary democracies the economic and military issues are closely linked in the eyes of many within the movement topic appropriateness of the term the movement has no singular name chiefly because it has no singular leader or consensus to give it one it has been called a variety of names based on its general advocating for social change justice and radical activism and its general opposition to capitalism neoliberalism and corporate globalisation activists also resisted using a name conferred by corporate media to smear the intention of their protests some activists were also not necessarily against globalization many participants see Noam Chomsky's quotes above consider the term anti-globalization to be a misnomer the term suggests that its followers support protectionism and/or nationalism which is always the case in fact some supporters of anti-globalization a strong opponents of both nationalism and protectionism for example the no border network argues for unrestricted migration and the abolition of all national border controls si hammered Husseini an Australian sociologist and expert in global social movement studies argues that the term anti-globalization can be ideal typically used only to refer to only one ideological vision he detects alongside three other visions the anti-globalist the older globalist and the older globalization he argues that the three latter ideal typical visions can be categorized under the title of global justice movement according to him while the first two visions the older globalism and the anti global ISM represent the reconstructed forms of old and new Left ideologies respectively in the context of current globalization only the third one has shown the capacity to respond more effectively to the intellectual requirements of today's global complexities underlying this vision is a new conception of justice coined accommodative justice by Husseini a new approach towards cosmopolitanism transversal cosmopolitanism a new mode of activist knowledge accommodative consciousness and a new format of solidarity interactive solidarity some activists notably David Graeber see the movement as opposed instead to neoliberalism or corporate globalization he argues that the term anti-globalization is a term coined by the media and that radical activists are actually more in favor of globalization in the sense of a Faceman of borders in the free movement of people possessions and ideas then are the IMF or WTO he also notes that activists use the terms globalization movement and anti-globalization movement interchangeably indicating the confusion of the terminology the term alter globalization has been used to make this distinction clear while the term anti-globalization arose from the movements opposition to free trade agreements which have often been considered part of something called globalization various participants contend they are opposed to only certain aspects of globalization and instead describe themselves at least in french-speaking organizations as anti-capitalist anti-christian t corporate LeMond diplomatic s editor ignacio rahman its expression of the one way thought YOUnique became slang against neoliberal policies in the Washington Consensus topic civic and racial nationalist opposition against globalization the term anti-globalization does not distinguish the International leftist anti-globalization position from a strictly nationalist anti-globalization position many nationalist movements such as the French National Front Austrian Freedom Party the Italian lega Nord the Greek Golden Dawn or the National Democratic Party of Germany are opposed to globalization but argue that the alternative to globalization is the protection of the nation-state other groups influenced by the third position are also classifiable as anti-globalization however their overall worldview is rejected by groups such as people's global action and anti-fascist groups such as ANC IFA in response the nationalist movements against globalization argue that the leftist anti-globalization position is actually a support to alter globalization topic influences several influential critical works have inspired the anti-globalization movement no logo the book by the Canadian journalist Naomi Klein who criticized the production practices of multinational corporations and the omnipresence of brand driven marketing in popular culture has become manifesto of the movement presenting in a simple way themes more accurately developed in other works in India some intellectual references of the movement can be found in the works of Vandana Shiva an ecologist and feminist who in her book bio proceeded documents the way that the natural capital of indigenous peoples in ecoregions is converted into forms of intellectual capital which are then recognized as exclusive commercial property without sharing the private utility thus derived the writer Arundhati Roy is famous for her anti-nuclear position and her activism against India's massive hydroelectric dam project sponsored by the World Bank in France the well known monthly paper LeMond diplomatic has advocated the anti-globalization cause in an editorial of its director ignacio Ramon it brought about the foundation of the association attack Susan George of the transnational Institute has also been a long-term in fluence on the movement as the writer of books since 1986 on hunger debt international financial institutions and capitalism the works of jeans Ziegler Christopher chase done and Immanuel Wallerstein have detailed under development independence in a world ruled by the capitalist system pacifist and anti imperialist traditions have strongly influenced the movement critics of United States foreign policy such as Noam Chomsky Susan Sontag and anti-globalist pranksters the yes men are widely accepted inside the movement although they may not recognize themselves as anti globalists and a pro capitalism some economists who don't share the neoliberal approach of international economic institutions have strongly influenced the movement ammaji ascends development is freedom Nobel Prize in Economics 1999 argues that third world development must be understood as the expansion of human capability not simply the increase in national income per capita and thus requires policies attuned to health and education not simply GDP James Tobin's winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics proposal for attacks on financial transactions called after him the Tobin tax has become part of the agenda of the movement also George Soros Joseph E Stiglitz and other economic sciences Nobel Prize winner formerly of the World Bank author of globalization in its discontents and David Corning have made arguments for drastically improving transparency for debt relief land reform and restructuring corporate accountability systems coordinance Stiglitz as contribution to the movement include involvement in direct actions in street protests in some Roman Catholic countries such as Italy there have been religious influences especially from missionaries who have spent a long time in the third world the most famous being Alex Santo tele Internet sources and free information websites such as indie media are a means of diffusion of the movements ideas the vast array of material on spiritual movements anarchism libertarian socialism and the green movement that is now available on the Internet has been perhaps more influential than any printed book topic organization although over the past years more emphasis been given to the construction of grassroots alternatives to capitalist globalization the movements largest and most visible mode of organizing remains mass decentralized campaigns of direct action and civil disobedience this mode of organizing sometimes under the banner of the people's global Action Network tries to tie the many disparate causes together into one global struggle in many ways the process of organizing matters overall can be more important to activists than the avowed goals or achievements of any component of the movement at corporate summits the stated goal of most demonstrations is to stop the proceedings although the demonstrations rarely succeed in more than delaying or inconveniencing the actual summits this motivates the mobilizations and gives them a visible short-term purpose this form of publicity is expensive in police time in the public purse rioting has occurred at some protests for instance in Genoa Seattle and London and extensive damage was done to the area especially targeting corporations including McDonald's and Starbucks restaurants despite or perhaps because of the lack of formal coordinating bodies the movement manages to successfully organize large protests on a global basis using information technology to spread information and organize protesters organize themselves into affinity groups typically non hierarchical groups of people who live close together and share a common political goal affinity groups will then send representatives to planning meetings however because these groups can be infiltrated by law enforcement intelligence important plans of the protests are often not made until the last minute one common tactic of the protests is to split up based on willingness to break the law this is designed with varying success to protect the risk-averse from the physical and legal dangers posed by confrontations with law enforcement for example in Prague during the anti IMF and World Bank protests in September 2000 demonstrators split into three distinct groups approaching the conference centre from three directions one engaging in various forms of civil disobedience the yellow march one the pink silver march advancing through tactical frivolity costume dance theater music and artwork and one the blue march engaging in violent conflicts with the baton armed police with the protesters throwing cobblestones lifted from the street these demonstrations come to resemble small societies in themselves many protesters take training in first aid and act as medics to other injured protesters in the u.s. some organizations like the National Lawyers Guild and to a lesser extent the American Civil Liberties Union provide legal witnesses in case of law enforcement confrontation protesters often claim that major media outlets do not properly report on them therefore some of them created the independent media center a collective of protesters reporting on the actions as they happen topic key grassroots organizations Abahlali base Mandela in South Africa the EZLN in Mexico family level is in Haiti the homeless workers movement in Brazil the landless people's movement in South Africa the landless workers movement in Brazil patreon in Brazil movement for justice and El Barrio in the United States of America Narmada Bachao Andolan in India the Western Cape anti-eviction campaign in South Africa topic demonstrations and appointments topic Berlin 88 the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund IMF and the World Bank that took place in West Berlin in 1988 saw strong protests that can be categorized as a precursor of the anti-globalization movement one of the main and failed objectives as it was to be so many times in the future was to derail the meetings topic Paris 89 a counter summit against g7 was organized in Paris in July 1989 the event was called California suffered calm California that is enough and principally aimed at canceling the debt contracted by southern countries a demonstration gathered 10,000 people and an important concert was held in la Bastille Square with 200,000 people it was the first anti g7 event fourteen years before that of Washington the main political consequence was that France took position to favor debt cancellation topic Madrid 94 the 50th anniversary of the IMF and the World Bank which was celebrated in Madrid in October 1994 was the scene of a protest by an ad-hoc coalition of what would later be called anti-globalization movements starting from the mid-1990s annual meetings of the IMF in the World Bank Group have become center points for anti-globalization movement protests they tried to drown the bankers parties in noise from outside and held other public forms of protest under the motto 50 years is enough while Spanish king juan carlos was addressing the participants in a huge exhibition hall to greenpeace activists climbed to the top and showered the attendance with fake dollar bills carrying the slogan no dollar s for ozone layer destruction a number of the demonstrators were sent to the notorious Carabanchel prison topic j18 one of the first international anti-globalization protests was organized in dozens of cities around the world On June 18th 1999 with those in London and Eugene Oregon most often noted the drive was called the carnival against capital or j18 for short the day coincided with the 25th g8 summit in Cologne Germany the protest in Eugene turned into a riot where local anarchists drove police out of a small park one anarchist Robert Saxton was arrested and convicted of throwing a rock at a police officer topic Seattle n 30 the second major mobile of the movement known as n30 occurred on November 30th 1999 when protesters blocked delegates entrance to WTO meetings in Seattle Washington USA the protests forced the cancellation of the opening ceremonies and lasted the length of the meeting until December 3rd there was a large permitted march by members of the afl-cio and other unauthorized marches by assorted affinity groups who converged around the convention center the protesters in Seattle riot police clashed in the streets after police fired tear gas at demonstrators who blocked the streets and refused to disperse over 600 protesters were arrested and thousands were injured three police men were injured by friendly fire and one by a thrown rock some protesters destroyed the windows of storefronts of businesses owned or franchised by targeted corporations such as a large Nike shop and many Starbucks windows the mayor put the city under the municipal equivalent of martial law and declared a curfew as of 2002 the city of Seattle had paid over $200,000 in settlements of lawsuits filed against the Seattle Police Department for assault and wrongful arrest with a class-action lawsuit still pending topic Washington a 16 on April 2000 around 10,000 to 15,000 protesters demonstrated at the IMF and World Bank meeting official numbers are not tallied International Forum on globalization IFG held training at foundry United Methodist Church police raided the convergence center which was the staging warehouse and activists meeting hall on Florida Avenue on April 15th the day before the larger protest scheduled on April 16th a smaller group of protesters demonstration against the prison industrial complex in the District of Columbia mass arrests were conducted 678 people were arrested on April 15th three-time Pulitzer Prize winning Washington Post photographer Karol Ghazi was detained by police and arrested on April 15th and two journalists for The Associated Press also reported being struck by police with battens on April 16th and 17 the demonstrations and street actions around the IMF that followed the number of those arrested grew to 1300 people a class-action lawsuit was filed for false arrest in June 2010 the action suit for the April 15th events called Becker at Al the District of Columbia at Al were settled with thirteen point seven million dollars damages awarded topic Washington DC 2002 in September 2002 estimated number of 1,500 to 2,000 people gathered to demonstrate against the annual meetings of IMF and World Bank in the streets of Washington DC protesting groups included the anti-capitalist convergence the mobilization for global justice 649 people were reported arrested five were charged with destruction of property while the others were charged with parading without a permit or failing to obey police orders to disperse at least 17 reporters were in the roundup protesters suit in federal court about the arrests the DC Attorney General had outside counsel investigate apparent destruction of evidence and forensic investigations continued and the testimony of the Chief of Police in 2009 the city agreed to pay $8 25 million to almost 400 protesters and bystanders to end a class-action lawsuit over ketling and mass arrests in Pershing Park during 2002 World Bank protests topic law enforcement reaction although local police was surprised by the size of n30 law enforcement agencies have since reacted worldwide to prevent the disruption of future events by a variety of tactics including sheer weight of numbers infiltrating the groups to determine their plans and preparations for the use of force to remove protesters at the site of some of the protests police have used tear gas pepper spray concussion grenades rubber and wooden bullets nightsticks water cannons dogs and horses to repel the protesters after the November 2000 g20 protest in Montreal at which many protesters were beaten trampled and arrested in what was intended to be a festive protest the tactic of dividing protest centre green permitted yellow not officially permitted but with little confrontation and low risk of arrest and read involving direct confrontation zones was introduced in Quebec City municipal officials built a three meter 10 feet high wall around the portion of the city where the summit of the Americas was being held which only residents delegates to the summit and certain accredited journalists were allowed to pass through topic Sandberg on June 15th and 16 2001 a strong demonstration took place in göteborg during the meeting of the European Council in the Swedish town clashes between police and protesters were exacerbated by the numerous vandalism of the extreme fringes of the demonstrators the so-called black bloc's images of devastation bounced through the mass media putting a negative shadow on the movement and increasing the sense of fear through common people topic Genoa the general group of eight summit protests from July 18th to July 22nd 2001 was one of the bloodiest protests in Western Europe's recent history as evidenced by the wounding of hundreds of policemen and civilians forced to lock themselves inside of their homes and the death of a young Gino he's an accursed name Carlo Giuliani who was shot while trying to throw a fire extinguisher on a policeman during two days of violence and rioting by groups supported by the nonchalance of more consistent and peaceful masses of protesters and the hospitalization of several of those peaceful demonstrators just mentioned police have subsequently been accused of brutality torture and interference with the nonviolent protests as a collateral damage provoked by the clash between the law enforcement ranks themselves in the more violent and brutal fringes of protesters who repeatedly hid themselves amongst peaceful protesters of all ages and backgrounds several hundred peaceful demonstrators rioters and police were injured and hundreds were arrested during the days surrounding the g8 meeting most of those arrested have been charged with some form of criminal Association under Italy's anti-mafia and anti-terrorist laws topic international social forums the first world Social Forum wsf in 2001 was an initiative of Oded gradute Chico Whittaker and Bernhard cousin it was supported by the city of porto alegre where it took place and the Brazilian Workers Party the motivation was to constitute a counter event to the world economic forum held in Davos at the same time the slogan of the wsf is another world is possible an International Council I see was set up to discuss and decide major issue regarding the wsf while the local organizing committee in the host city is responsible for the practical preparations of the event in june 2001 the IC adopted the world Social Forum charter of principles which provides a framework for international national and local social forums worldwide the wsf became a periodic meeting in 2002 and 2003 was held again in porto alegre and became a rallying point for worldwide protest against the american invasion of Iraq in 2004 it was moved to Mumbai India to make it more accessible to the populations of Asia and Africa this forum had 75,000 delegates in 2006 it was held in three cities Caracas Venezuela Bamako Mali and Karachi Pakistan in 2007 the forum was hosted in Nairobi Kenya in 2009 it was in belém Brazil and in 2011 it was in Dakar Senegal in 2012 the wsf returned to Porto Alegre the idea of creating a meeting place for organizations and individuals opposed in the old liberalism was soon replicated elsewhere the first European social forum ESF was held in November 2002 in Florence the slogan was against the war against racism and against neoliberalism it saw the participation of 60,000 delegates and ended with a huge demonstration against the war 1 million people according to the organizers the following ESF's took place in Paris 2003 London 2004 Athens 2006 Malmo 2008 and the latest DSF in Istanbul 2010 in many countries social forums of national and local scope were also held recently there has been some discussion behind the movement about the role of the social forums some see them as a popular university an occasion to make many people aware of the problems of globalization others would prefer that delegates concentrate their efforts on the coordination and organization of the movement and on the planning of new campaigns however it has often been argued that in the dominated countries most of the world the wsf is little more than an NGO fear driven by northern NGOs and donors most of which are hostile to popular movements of the poor top North Korea after the Second World War North Korea followed a policy of anti-globalization however in recent decades have shown a distinctive rise in globalization movements in North Korea under the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Pyongyang 2002 introduced a number of reforms in areas such as technology and trade the reform that had the most significance to North Korea was trade North Korea saw a change in trading partnerships they now not only traded with themselves but also with South Korea and China North Korea introduced these reforms because they were lacking in areas of technology and trade and they realized that they could not maintain themselves as a society without help from other nations but even with these new reforms North Korea still remains the most isolated Society in the world topic criticisms the anti-globalization movement has been criticised by politicians members of conservative think tanks and many mainstream economists topic lack of evidence critics assert that the empirical evidence does not support the views of the anti-globalization movement these critics point to statistical trends which are interpreted to be results of globalization capitalism and the economic growth they encourage there has been an absolute decrease in the percentage of people in developing countries living below $1 per day in East Asia adjusted for inflation and purchasing power sub-saharan Africa as an area that felt the consequences of poor governance and was less responsive to globalization has seen an increase in poverty while all other areas of the world have seen no change in rates the world income per head has increased by more over period 2002 to 2007 than during any other period on the record the increase in universal suffrage from no nations in 1902 62.5 percent of all nations in 2000 there are similar trends for electric power cars radios and telephones per capita as well as the percentage of the population with access to clean water however one point four billion people still live without clean drinking water and 2.6 billion of the world's population lack access to proper sanitation access to clean water has actually decreased in the world's poorest nations often those that have not been as involved in globalization members of the anti-globalization movement argue that positive data from countries which largely ignored neoliberal prescriptions notably China discredits the evidence that pro globalists present for example concerning the parameter of per capita income growth development economist ha-joon Chang writes that considering the record of the last two decades the argument for continuing neoliberal policy prescriptions are simply untenable noting that it depends on the data we use but roughly speaking per capita income in developing countries grew at 3% per year between 1960 and 1980 but has grown only at about 1.5 percent between 1980 and 2000 and even this 1.5 percent will be reduced to 1% if we take out India and China which have not pursued liberal trade and industrial policies recommended by the developed countries economists and political scientist mark Pennington an NYU professor of economics William easterly have individually accused Chang of employing straw man arguments ignoring counter data and failing to employ basic scientific controls to his claims Jagdish Bhagwati argues that reforms that opened up the economies of China and India contributed to their higher growth in 1980s and 1990s from 1980 to 2000 their GDP grew at average rate of 10 and 6 percent respectively this was accompanied by reduction of poverty from 28 percent in 1978 to 9 percent in 1998 in China and from 51 percent in 1978 to 26 percent in 2000 in India likewise Joseph E Stiglitz speaking not only on China but East Asia in general comments the countries that have managed globalization such as those in East Asia have by and large ensured that they reaped huge benefits according to the Heritage Foundation development in China was anticipated by Milton Friedman who predicted that even a small progress towards economic liberalisation would produce dramatic and positive effects China's economy had grown together with its economic freedom critics of corporate LED globalization have expressed concern about the methodology used in arriving at the World Bank statistics and argue that more detailed variables measuring poverty should be studied according to the Center for Economic and Policy Research CepR the period from 1980 to 2005 has seen diminished progress in terms of economic growth life expectancy infant and child mortality and to a lesser extent Education topic disorganization one of the most common criticisms of the movement which does not necessarily come from its opponents is simply that the anti-globalization movement lacks coherent goals and that the views of different protesters are often in opposition to each other many members of the movement are also aware of this and argue that as long as they have a common opponent they should march together even if they don't share exactly the same political vision writers Michael Hart and Antonio Negri have together in their books Empire and multitude expanded on this idea of a dis unified multitude humans coming together for shared causes but lacking the complete sameness of the motion of the people topic lack of effectiveness one argument often made by the opponents of the anti-globalization movement especially by the economists is that one of the major causes of poverty amongst third-world farmers are the trade barriers put up by rich nations and poor nations alike the WTO is an organization set up to work towards removing those trade barriers therefore it is argued people really concerned about the plight of the third world should actually be encouraging free trade rather than attempting to fight it specifically commodities such as sugar are heavily distorted by subsidies on behalf of powerful economies the United States Europe and Japan who have a disproportionate influence in the WTO as a result producers in these countries often receive two to three x the world market price as a Marnie El Obeid and John beggin no the world price might decline by as much as 48 percent by 2011-2012 base lines with these distortions to be removed many supporters of globalization think that policies different from those of today should be pursued although not necessarily those advocated by the anti-globalization movement for example some see the World Bank and the IMF as corrupt bureaucracies which have given repeated loans to dictators who never do any reforms some like Hernando DeSoto argue that much of the poverty in the third-world countries is caused by the lack of Western systems of laws and well-defined and universally recognized property rights de soto argues that because of the legal barriers poor people in those countries cannot utilize their assets to produce more wealth topic lack of widespread third-world support critics have asserted that people from poor the developing countries have been relatively accepting and supportive of globalization while the strongest opposition to globalization has come from wealthy first world activists unions and NGOs Alan Shipman author of the globalization myth accuses the anti-globalization movement of defusing the Western class war by shifting alienation and exploitation to developing countries sweatshops he later goes on to claim that the anti-globalization movement has failed to attract widespread support from poor and working people from the developing nations and that its strongest and most uncomprehending critics had always been the workers whose liberation from employment they were trying to secure these critics assert that people from the third world see the anti-globalization movement as a threat to their jobs wages consuming options and livelihoods and that a cessation or reversal of globalization would result in many people in poor countries being left in greater poverty hey-zeus affray is her oles the former mexican ambassador to the u.s. stated that in a poor country like ours the alternative to low paid jobs isn't well-paid ones it's no jobs at all egypt's ambassador to the UN has also stated the question is why all of a sudden when third-world labor has proved to be competitive why do industrial countries start feeling concerned about our workers when all of a sudden there is a concern about the welfare of our workers it is suspicious on the other hand there have been notable protests against certain globalization policies by workers in developing nations as in the cause of Indian farmers protesting against patenting seeds in the last few years many developing countries especially in Latin America and Caribbean created alter-globalization organizations as economic bloc's Mercosur and UNASUR political community Cala C or Bank of the South which is supporting development of low in countries without involvement from IMF or World Bank topic see also equals equals notes

Vigor, All Season 11 Weapon Changes
hey what's up guys bobo rail here and today i'm going to be going over all the changes made to the gun play and weapon balancing for vigor update 11.0 so without further delay let's jump right into this i'm going to be going in order from lowest rarity to highest by showing off a bit of footage at various ranges in the firing range every gun will be time stamped accordingly and hopefully this should give you a pretty good idea of what has changed and how it will affect their balancing overall so first up we have the silver pigeon this is from the shotgun category of course and as you can see this is much more accurate than it has been the spread is very manageable and predictable and it's now rewarding for you to be hitting your shots instead of the old luck of the draw like it was in 10.0 now i should say you're not gonna be one-tapping people at any crazy distances and in the bit of time that i played against chris with it there seems to be manually added damage fall off just as i suggested in my shotgun overhaul video i'm really excited to see how this ends up affecting the overall weapon frequency of this but this to me feels really well balanced and it's exactly what i was looking for in terms of change next up we have the mosin this overall has gotten a pretty drastic increase in accuracy and as you can see here we're now able to get 100 accurate while crouched now the mosin wasn't even that bad bloom wise before this but now it's like i can hit a head shot at upwards of 100 meters that to me is freaking awesome i'm not gonna lie this just feels like a serious powerhouse now and on top of that i don't know if they've actually sped it up or it's just me feeling like it's smoother but the rechambering animation looks a lot cleaner and i haven't noticed any buggy clipping or anything off with it in the new patch now for the last of the plentiful guns we have a wild surprise that i didn't expect to see changed with this update at all but the changes made to snipers have affected every gun in the rifle category which includes the fully automatic m2 carbine this has had massive adjustments to its recoil and bloom and as you can see it's now a very competent full auto rifle now this is absolutely nuts and honestly this can now comfortably compete with some of the other white and green ars in the game that being said its recoil is still pretty hefty to control while strafing in comparison to the aks for example but still i'd say this is a candidate for the close range meta in the next update now on to the common guns with the izh this was changed in a very similar way to the pigeon but with a little bit more extreme tuning and from when i was using it it definitely felt more reliable in terms of dealing damage at mid-range exactly what i expected and asked for where the pigeon and this feel very similar considering they are both long barrel double barrel shotgun but this one has a bit more range to compensate for its rarity increase and it looks like you'll be getting a lot more consistent two shot kills with it overall feels fantastic and i love it back to the rifle class we have the sks which has also received massive buffs honestly probably the biggest of any gun this patch to list them it's been buffed in its accuracy recoil and fiery not gonna lie this is kind of insane like i've been advocating for this gun to get buffed for a long time now especially in fire rate but based on this i think it's a little too good now of course i'm not dying on that hill by any measure and before i start hacking into it i really need to see how it plays in real encounters against other players but this to me at first glance could probably use a bit more recoil and it'd be pretty good also they seem to have applied the same recoil model of the sa-80s first person onto all the rifles including those with iron sights which is good for consistency and accuracy's sake but it looks a little clunky and maybe flat on these iron sights guns so i would look into adding a little bit of shake or bounce to the iron sights when firing to make them look a bit more realistic on a very similar note we're now moving on to the only green gun that's been changed with the vz52 now this is another reason why i would support some minor nerfs to the sks because right now these two just play so similarly because this also received accuracy buffs while having a pretty stable recoil and fire rate now i'm in favor of this gun's buffs for sure as the crouched accuracy for both of these is going to make mid and long range combat much more competitive for early game players but i feel like the two of them have too much roll overlap for this to be picked over the sks and on top of that the sights are still a bit off to the right which the sks doesn't have so i really don't see myself using this next patch over the sks but it's still incredibly capable if not better than it in third person now up to the blues we'll start with our two dinky shotguns the ks23 and the sawduff both of these are rather deceiving as while their bloom doesn't look to have changed much i'm pretty sure their pellet spread has been decreased pretty significantly now keep in mind i could be way off on this as pellet spread is still pretty random and quite hard to gauge pun intended but just from shooting in the firing range these seem to be a lot more effective than the other two long shotguns in extreme close quarters exclusively making them trade off any potential range with really strong close quarters capabilities they still aren't great as they are both short-barreled shotguns and secondaries but the minor adjustments made feel appropriate considering what the other shotguns got into the rifles we have what i call the ss82 although i've been bullied in the past for calling it that you already know it's everybody's least favorite bolt action it's been changed in a very similar way to the mosin in that crouching now gives you 100 accuracy and strafing is still very little bloom all the existing bolt actions are now going to be a lot more effective but whether or not that will actually equate to higher use frequency is still up in the air overall i doubt this will change much with the gun and i still don't think it justifies a blue rarity but i could be proven wrong and maybe some people will like how it feels now on to the next blue we have the m21 and this is the first gun where i think the sa-80 scope changes are going to have a serious effect on it in first person this is way easier to land follow-up shots at distance now but with that it seems to have come with some changes in third person as well there looks to be a lot less bloom with a good bit more recoil and it feels like there's a lot more pressure to hit those head shots if you're shooting in third this won't change its role in the meta really at all although it might make it a little bit better at hitting those really long distance shots on fel canton whether that be in third or first person aiming cruising through this list we now are onto the purples where we have the vss this was one of the guns i showed off in my update video that had people drooling because while there has been a little change to its recoil the scope adjustments make a massive difference on these pso guns in particular and combining that with its full auto capabilities and the changes to its ammo stack size this has some serious potential to be a pretty balanced meta gun although i should mention it's still pretty heavily bottlenecked by its bullet velocity and mag size either way i think this looks and feels fantastic and has had some of the best buffs of the entire update so i assume we'll be seeing a lot more of these this patch i'm gonna quickly get the zam76 out of the way because hardly anything has changed maybe a little easier to control recoil but the only major difference is that it also has the scope changes so follow-up shots will be a lot easier and sniping with it will be a lot nicer that's pretty much it though and i don't see this getting any change in its use frequency now for the big game contender we have the hbar which is the gun that will probably benefit the most from these adjustments to scopes but with that there's been some serious tweaks to its recoil and it now kicks pretty hard which i think was a necessary counter because with the old prone recoil plus these scope changes you could have easily lasered people at upwards of 150 meters while the recoil now is pretty much heavy enough to counter that i still think it's a top tier gun that's just been balanced to damn near perfection and it serves its purpose as a long range dmr in single fire while making it a little bit more punishing to use in auto really discouraging rushing corners in cqb and encouraging long range slower shot pacing this is exactly what the gun should be used for and i think it's right where it needs to be now i should also take a moment now to say that the aur and the aur para have not yet received scope adjustments not sure if that was a balancing choice by design or if the devs are just waiting to see what happens with this first round of changes to see if the community supports it but i wouldn't be surprised if this comes in 11.1 or season 12. next we have the sg1 which i noticed very little to no change in third person recoil or bloom but it now has the scope changes so the sg has overall just received a net buff i think this is still a very well balanced rifle but man it's going to be an absolute beam if the person behind it knows how to control its recoil i really like it and i think it's another competitor for a really well balanced meta next patch the last purple gun is the lashiev or the spaz 12. this seems like it's received a good bit of the other shotgun buffs but once again has a relatively deceiving bloom as the spread of the pellets is a good bit better than they were last patch but overall it still plays pretty similarly although i'm pretty sure it's had a slight fire rate decrease and while it might be a bit more useful in cqb it feels just like a slightly less accurate version of the remington 870 which i'm fine with and really this does still feel like a buff overall and i wouldn't be surprised if we see a few more people using it finally we're on to the golds and that's just two guns the svd and the svu because i tried the parker hail and it might have had a bit of an accuracy increase but it was already the most accurate gun in the game so it literally made no difference to me the svd has of course benefited from the scope changes but also got an increase in recoil and a slight reduction to fire rate it's a couple very minor changes that will make it play pretty similar to the old one but actually to me it feels like a slight nerf overall which honestly i think it deserved if you use the svd a lot currently then i'm sure you know has literally zero recoil in third right now like none and for 762 by 54 that's kind of just wrong now it still has great ball velocity though and with the scope changes it seems like it'll keep its title as the best long range sniper in the game on to the last and probably most important gun in the game we have the svu which of course also received scope changes but on top of that has had a pretty sizable increase to recoil and a buff to third-person accuracy this is another one where it's hard to say but i think it's recoil is enough to call it an overall nerf to the gun but it just really feels a lot better in terms of balancing in comparison to what it was in 10.0 like i think it's pretty safe to say that the svu was the definitive meta last patch albeit a still pretty balanced one but i was okay with that for the most part now it feels just like a real svu would really punchy 762 recoil but incredibly accurate as a result and by the way i think i messed with its sound design a bit because it sounds a lot nicer now and has a little bit more bass to it i really like where this has landed and it's still probably going to be a meta contender but it's a lot more fair now and i would argue it's much more satisfying to use overall so that's it that's all the changes that have been made to guns in 11.0 this is one of the most revolutionary balancing patches in the game's history and i'm pretty confident in saying that's for the better although i do think they went a little bit overboard on the sks and m2 but the whole game just feels like rifles and shotguns are exactly where they need to be the last little changes i would like to see would be buffs to 45 acp and makarov and then the scope adjustments being applied to the aur and aur para but that's really it for me to be 100 content with the game's balance so no more whiny videos and i'll be able to focus more on the content i actually want to make instead of constantly trying to fix the game's gun play anyways that's all i've got for you guys today this has been boba rail from the christopher bees channel and i'll catch you all in the next one [Music] you

Form Over Function? Rival Kronos Holster Review! 3D Printed Solid Kronos Holster
what's up enthusiasts today we're talking about this this is the 3d printed solid Kronos holster and this thing is probably my favorite piece that this company has come out with to date they've always done some really cool looking stuff a lot of aesthetic mod pieces and dart holders barrel attached and stuff like that and a few holsters here and there this is the first one that really caught my eye I really wanted to check out now this one isn't actually mine this one's actually Thunder krunk's he was nice enough to lend this to me to do this review to test out for a little while and I have to say overall I really really am enjoying this there's a couple little things that I would maybe tweak or change here and there we'll get into those in a little bit right off the batlets let's talk about price this is $45 for one and if you want to for your each leg one for each leg they are $80 u.s. that's not a low price point for a holster granted there is a lot here there's a lot of 3d printing involved in this big big piece to hold the Khronos and then it comes with the drop leg platform itself as well so this goes onto your belt loop of your pants or belt whatever your battle belt whatever piece built you have this will go onto that and then it will strap onto your legs with adjustable velcro straps that buckle in and again as well something that's nice about most drop leg platforms is there is a buckle up here at top this one has a lock as well it looks like so it doesn't fall out yeah there we go almost there we go so you can take it off and not have this hang off if you want to run it a game where you don't want to run this it's just it's those nice little things this one having that extra little lock push lock here is actually kind of nice so it won't accidentally fall off which is a plus I would say now in terms of the retention system itself it's this one little kind of knob here that that pushes in when you put the Chronos in the holster and that retention is what holds it in it holds it in enough when it's upright but I did notice granted I don't think ever going to run this upside down but the retention is light enough that it doesn't stay in if it's upside down and jostling so if for any reason you're ever upside down in the game it may come out but that's not really a situation I don't think many people are going to be encountering so a bit of a non-issue I was just kind of testing how well this data and this will stay in pretty well for most situations it will if you are really really jostling it it will come out which is a bit a bit of a bummer that said I don't know how much you will encounter that at most games most people I know if they're running a drop leg holster at a game that's usually in a game where you're full-on sprinting as fast as you can as hard as you can and jumping and diving around but that may not be the case for everybody there may be fooled that like to run in LARP that may need to do some of that and that may be a factor that is something you can see if this does come in red and black by the way you can either get this in red or in black I would like it if there were more options you know I definitely like my options my color options and whatnot as far as function and use it's pretty good it slides in pretty nice and it has a very satisfying feel it clicks in it holds for most part like we talked about fairly well one thing I did encounter is if you don't put it in directly evenly it can actually slip up like this so if you come in at a slight angle it won't go in and it'll it'll bounce off kind of like that so what I've started to try and do is go in at a bit of a like so if you're coming down go in a bit of an angle so it makes sure it goes in the right way that's kind of how I have started to do this overall aesthetics I really like the way this looks it's big its boxy its bulky but that kind of matches with the Chronos you know look it's not exactly a tiny blaster it's not exactly a streamlined looking smooth it's chunky its boxy its kind of necessary for the rival rounds and everything to function inside of it but this kind of fits right along with it in my opinion and it works it works it does it does what I want it to it does have a hole there at the bottom so you can you know accidentally discharge around if you pull the trigger and that'll come flying out the bottom of your leg which could be a bit awkward but what is kind of cool is you can still access the inside here from the holster which i think is a really nice nice thing so you can pop it open and if you're just running around in a game and you want to reload you can have that open and just kind of boop boop boop and then you're back in and you know obviously you don't want to do that when it's loaded but it's just some nice little function things here and there the drop leg platform is a contour kind of like hard plastic leg piece with the two velcro belt buckle straps to adjust to your size I guess I have a somewhat small leg because I had to wrap all the way around to the opposite side to get it to stick but it's good that there's vocally opposite sides like I could do that for for what it is I like it overall overall I enjoy it I don't know that it's for everyone at the price point it is it is you know it's a little bit expensive for a holster in the nerf Hobby currently but I dig the aesthetic I like the way it feels one more little thing that I want to add actually is the way this this sits in its its it's like screwed in or grommet in or something like attached into this this plastic platform it could actually be nice if in the future they did sort of a modular system for this where this could actually come off the leg panel piece and say you have like a belt piece that you could attach this to kind of like you'll see with some airsoft systems for pistol holders holsters and I feel like that could be kind of a nice touch so you feel like maybe you're getting a little bit more flexibility with it maybe in some limits you don't want to hang off your leg you want on your belt or the back of your vest or something like that you know maybe just give more options but overall I like the product it's not perfect there's a few things that can be tweaked like I talked about a little bit of the retention if you're sprinting a lot and bouncing around a lot at games that could be a small issue for you and then the other major issue was the if you're not coming in at the right angle it can shoot off and not go in those are my two biggest gripes with it but overall I like it I like I said I dig the way it looks I like the way it feels it it it fits it fits the Chronos in my opinion and overall it's probably one of my favourite products from this company if you want to go check one of these out I'll have the link down below in the info again a big thank you to thunder Kronk for letting me borrow this to test out also the Chronos to test out so thank you to him again and like I said link will be down below for this if you want to check it out if you're new to the channel enjoy this video feel free to the subscribe button for more in the future and let me know what you think about this product at holsters in general drop leg platforms in general for nerf products let me know in the comments down below as always thank you so much for watching I'm Jan gehler and I'll see you next time

Wednesday Evening Service - 2021-Dec-08
good evening and welcome it's not the alpha church hour good evening and welcome to faith to victory church online praise the lord for our wednesday night bible study so glad to have you tonight as we continue along the lines of the bible in the light of our redemption a basic bible state of course by e.w kenyon again this this wonderful work this book is on available online uh at amazon.com i believe walmart.com for about around 15 we encourage you to get it and have it in your library again the bible in the light of our redemption by e.w kenyon uh we're less than 14 or 37 um and very easy for you to go back and catch up and answer the questions watch our videos and get the answers to the different questions from each chapter so it's never too late to jump in here and get this book and add it to your library and study it it's a wonderful thing for you to study yourself and to go through praise the lord uh last couple weeks we were talking about the tabernacle and um obviously you know everything that we're talking about is the light of our redemption you know the foreshadowings and etc of the old testament taking us obviously ultimately into the new testament but we're going to pick up there with the with the tabernacle and move down into the priesthood obviously that's tied together uh the tabernacle and its vessels and the priesthood and the various ministries connected there with formed one subject in other words the the tabernacle without the priesthood or the priesthood without the tabernacle weren't complete you needed you needed both aspects of that in order for the foreshadowing and the typology to be realized and for god to be laying down the plan ahead of time praise the lord so um we're just we're dividing it up and contemplating each aspect so the tabernacle would have been useless without his vessels the tabernacle with his vessels would have been of no service but for a living family of priests constantly engaged in the various activities within the holy place about the various holy vessels they acted as mediators hebrews 8 shows us that the priest who offered gifts according to the law served unto the example and shadow of heavenly things in exodus chapter 28 exodus and we welcome all of you they're tuning in now so glad to have you um maybe just all of a sudden uh a woman used to be in our church in greenville years ago sister eagle god love you honey um she was a northern italian a catholic who got born again and filled with the holy ghost and she always told us god love you honey remember her janie um exodus 28 1 says thou shalt take the air and thy brother and his sons with him from among the children of israel that he may minister unto me uh in the priest's office even aaron nadab amar aaron's sons and um so god begins lay out the pattern and uh different things for um the priesthood um moses or his sons had nothing to do with the priesthood under the law and that of which of christ is the head the leadership or kingship we can say of moses as well as the office of mediator were in him kept apart from the priesthood which was confined to aaron and his sons and these dignities were thus lodged in different persons whereas one epistle to the hebrews is to point out that the lord jesus in his resurrection combining himself the various offices in dignities of lord mediator apostle surety captain and shepherd so there were different things that were done but jesus became them all he is the all in all hallelujah praise the lord just a moment the wording of this verse we read there in exodus 28 one take thou into the air and thy brother and his sons with him that he may minister um aaron and his sons formed but one ministry in the priest office and aaron could not exercise his service unless his sons were taken with him is there not in this an intimation of the union and priesthood of christ and his house hallelujah and that one great object of his priesthood is that he may minister to god respecting his house look at hebrews chapter 3. hebrews chapter three we're going from exodus to hebrews i hope you all had a great day hallelujah verse one wherefore holy brethren partakers of the heavenly calling consider the apostle and high priest of our profession christ jesus who was faithful to him that appointed him as moses was faithful in all his house for this man was counted worthy of more glory than moses in as much as he who builded the house hath more honor than the house for every house is builded by some man and he that built all things is god and moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after but christ as the son over his own house whose house are we if we hold fast and confidence in the rejoicing of hope unto the end firm unto the end wherefore as the holy ghost saith today if you will hear his voice hallelujah and so um jesus is the head over our house praise god the hype and so next the high priest under the law had compassion on the ignorant and on them that were out of the way because he was conscious of infirmities in himself the very fact of him of his being himself a sinner was one qualification for that priesthood so remember the high priest being a sinner had great compassion on people because he himself had to be forgiven and covered and uh separated by god and so he would demonstrate compassion and mercy glory to god the lord jesus through his human life was perfect perfected for priesthood he's able to sympathize because the bible says this he had been tempted at all points like we are yet without sin he suffered he was tempted he was therefore able to secure them that are tempted praise the lord in other words he faced in kind everything that humanity faces and yet without sin he overcame he did not fail he did not fall he did not go under he did not succumb to it praise god the dreadful whisperings of the enemy that he was called to endure filled his soul with holy abhorrence and taught him to feel pity for us who are subject to the assaults of satan look at hebrews chapter 4 verse 14. seeing then we have a great high priest that has passed into the heavens jesus the son of god let us hold fast our profession for we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need glory to god hallelujah jesus being tempted overcoming and never sinning is able to minister to us out of compassion compassion is powerful um compassion comes from the greek simple fuel symbol simple theo um we try to a lot of times translate pity but it means to um it kind of carries the to con the the the person expressing sympathy felt the saying that the person who's going through it it was like a joint suffering and jesus bore that for us glory to god hallelujah the priests of the house of levi were made without an oath and in consequence some of them were cut off from the priesthood as in the case of nadab and abihu and eli's line the lord was made perfect was made priests with an oath the lord hath sworn and will not repent psalm 110 verse 4 says the unchangeableness of god's word and oath established the lord jesus as the surety of the better covenant hebrews chapter 7 verses 20 through 25. aaron was made priest after the law of cardinal carnal that cardinal cardinal hallelujah commandments whereas christ became high priest after the power of endless life the glorious eternal power of resurrection life received out of death and making manifest his victory over death con constituted him the great high priest he is our high priest forever hallelujah hallelujah established as the high priest now let's look at the garments of the high priest um exodus 28 4 says these are the garments which shall make a breastplate and an ephod and a robe an embroidered coat and a miter and a miner's a hat that weird looking not really kind of like a chef's hat but you know tall however that you know anyway it's a hat and a girdle without these aaron could not be a high priest typified various powers responsibilities and qualities connected to the office the priestly garments were considered a part of the work of the tabernacle the robes of the high priest expressed the function and quality of the high priest and then the materials are specific gold fine twine linen others were blue purple scarlet or colors in blaza zond emblazoned thank you lord for helping me get that word out emblazoned upon the fine twine linen and everywhere interlaced with gold the mode in which this was done is described exodus 39-3 interesting uh how they did this they did beat the gold and the thin plates and cut it into wires to work it into the blue into the purple and the scarlet and the fine linen with cunning work in other words they they would take gold and beat it into a thin plate and then cut it into wires and then they would weave it like thread into this uh other material the various phases of manhood are typified by the color gold represents his divinity they're inseparably connected yet distinct christ's life was a rare and beautiful union of humanity and divinity yet there was a mysterious distinction between his humanity and divinity with perfect ease he went from the sphere of his human ability to the sphere of the divine he was equally at home equally at home within one or the other at the grave of lazarus lazarus he is seeing a very man and a very god remember he wept and this lazarus come forth glory to god one moment he's weeping next minute he's saying lazarus come forth he makes you think of karma donna lazarus oh lazarus come forth we'll see if y'all wake up i'm not seeing any comments i figured i'd get a hand clap or something after that one the ephod the great priestly robe was inseparably connected with the shoulder pieces and the breastplate the strength of the shoulders and the affections of the heart were devoted to the interest of the people whom he represented it was symbolic okay the omnipotent strength and infinite love of christ our great high priest are ours continually and unquestionably okay that's why god god was so specific and how everything had to be done because he was laying out allegory allegories and typologies all pointing us to his heart manifest in his son to us hallelujah the shoulders the shoulders that sustain the universe upheld the weakest member of his body the priesthood was god's provision to lead israel into his presence and keep them there it was god's provision for spiritually dead israel that they might have an approach to him in exodus 28 15-29 and uh chapter 39 verses 8-21 they tell the breastplate with the names of the 12 tribes engraved upon precious stones the peculiar excellence of a precious stone is that the more intense the light is the more brightly it shines these will maintain a divine presence and undiminished luster and an unalterable beauty that belongs to the position in which the grace of god had set them praise god whenever the failures of israel might be their names glittered before god jehovah and set them where no man could pluck them no man can enter into the holy place to dim their luster hallelujah praise be to god each tribe had its place in its own stone each stone had its own peculiar glory and beauty each different from without rivaling the other and each field is appointed place before god god was able to create variety without involving inferiority that's unlike today we we think you know equity means you take away from somebody's got and give it to the one who don't have so everybody's on the same plane now you're bringing something you're bringing something down to bring something up he was able to bring everybody up hallelujah and it is so with the individuals that compose the body of christ and yet christ is seen in each with a peculiar beauty and glory into which another does not intrude each has its place in the body a responsibility to magnify christ that does not belong to another we being many are one body and members in particular glory to god in the view of the father the body sounds with the brightness the righteousness of christ man cannot see but god can see us in christ his right in his righteousness and beauty the great shepherd of the sheep will not cease to hear bear on his shoulders and heart the weakness of the flock until the last he presents him thoughtless without blame before the father when the resurrection among morning comes every one of the redeemed will be like christ and will be manifest in the same beauty and glory in which he is now represent representatively upheld on the shoulders of the great high priest before god in other words you're not going to have the well-known preacher have a different righteousness than the guy you never heard of who may be considered a weak link we're all presented before the father will be presented heirs of god joiners with christ hallelujah bearing the righteousness of god that's in christ jesus hallelujah praise god we will be on equal terms in the sense that god has made us one with him and he has surrounded all of us with all that he is and everything he has bears us all up hallelujah and lifts us all up now the memorial now uh exodus 28 12 thousand put upon uh put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for the stones of the memorial unto the children of israel and aaron shall bear their names before the lord upon his shoulders before a memorial israel had one feast to which this word memorial was particularly attached the feast of the passover in exodus 12 14 this day shall be unto you a memorial and you shall keep it a feast to the lord throughout your generations they had therefore two constant reasons for remembering jehovah one the deliverance from bondage in egypt by the blood of the paschal lamb and to their acceptance into the brilliancy and glory of precious stones before the lord on the shoulder of the high priest these are two memorials to us who are his children our absolute redemption from the king kingdom of darkness through the blood of the lamb and our standing before god as his children upheld in his presence and all glory and righteousness praise god hallelujah just as aaron could not enter into the holy place without reminding jehovah of the love and perfection in which israel stood accepted before him we have a common constant memorial before him and our great high priest who brings us before him he is our wisdom our righteousness our sanctification and our redemption praise god god's good and you know just try to say to have somebody make this up thousands of years apart and typology and then bring out the typology in christ it would be impossible unless the great author of all things is god who knew all things beginning from the end and end from the beginning and everything in between okay let's look at the urum and the therman um found in exodus 28 30. the breastplate was made of the same materials as the ephod and it was doubled or folded to form a bag into which the earman and thumin were put the herman and the thuman were precious stones bearing significant names and listen to this that no one has that present ever been able to know they don't know what was written on them hallelujah now irman means lights and thuman means perfection these mysterious contents of the breastplate seem to direct our thoughts to the heart of the lord jesus as containing all light and perfection all grace and truth all mercy and righteousness in ephesians 5 13 it says whatsoever doth make manifest is light the high priest with the uman ehrman and his breastplate became the channel by which god may manifest his counsels the lord jesus makes known the counsels and purposes of god he is light and in him is no darkness and through him god's will is made known unto us praise the lord makes you think of the raiders of lost ark you know where the thing comes out of the or it hits the hits the uh breastplate and you know it goes out but that's not how god you know they weren't going to kill everybody it was uh remind god of his covenant and jesus coming to redeem the hollywood you know it was still pretty cool the gold bells of pomegranates around the skirts were placed pomegranates are three colors blue purple and scarlet and altar with each pomegranate was a bell of pure gold the only adornings of this heavenly robe were fruits gathered from the earth the high priest thus proclaimed on his entrance from the holiest that he had come from the world proclaiming his earth walk pomegranates are especially mentioned as fruits of the holy land between each two pomegranates was a golden belt the golden sound was connected with a rich juicy fruit and as the high priest approached the most high place his step sent forth the heavenly melody which he returned again from the immediate presence of the glory into the camp his retiring footsteps rang out the unearthly sound they proclaimed his heavenly walk in the most holy place think about it also the pomegranate and the bell the pomegranate tempered the sound of the bell and some people like this you know fruit love because without the fruit of the spirit uh the power of the spirit is a clanging symbol and tinkling bell we'll just be banging together but tempered by the spiritual fruit of um identification with christ and being brought together hallelujah where the life of god's on the inside of us praise the lord uh tempers the power and makes it a beautiful sound hallelujah as the high priest approached god god must hear the heavenly sound sent forth by his feet by his feet steps bless my heart by his footsteps i don't know if you've got feet steps or not i i think this would be footsteps what do y'all think although he came from the midst of an of a den of worldliness and confusion his walk though surrounded by these sins must be respecting the fruitfulness to god and thus it must not be in regard to earthly ambitions or glory or prosperity again his retirement's footsteps from the immediate presence of god were to speak the same truth he must return into the ordinary occupations of life still making his footsteps known as from heaven how lovely on the mountains of them who bring glad tidings of good things who declare thy god reigneth hallelujah praise god the minor found in exodus 29 39-39-28 um is a is a word that was used for the headdress of the high priest and so i said have that's the headdress it is derived from a verb signifying to roll or to wind around possibly intimating the high priest's miter was round around wound around his head these are tongue twisters tonight hallelujah i think i'm a little bit on the struggle bus hallelujah with some of these uh the minor covering the head of the high priest was a type of his being subject to god and he was always supposed to be standing in the presence of god he was never too close to lose sight of his glorious calling but his life was to be spent in the tabernacle ready to accomplish god's will the white fine linen of which it was made is an emblem of that righteousness and purity that must be manifest in one who stands in the presence of god on the behalf of others and of course jesus was remember the lamb had to be at land without spot the sacrificial lamb amen the golden plate the golden plays described before the mitre the object of the mighty being to enable the high priest to wear this plate of gold before the lord deeply engraved on this gold plate was the writing holiness to the lord without which he could not appear in the presence of the lord in the behalf of israel what a volume of truth this little sentence does contain how expressive of him who alone has a title to bear it the true high priest the forfeit is um especially that portion of the human countenance on which is depicted the purpose will and mine throughout his earthly ministry holiness to jehovah was the ruling purpose in christ's mind aaron could present holiness to jehovah only engraved upon the holy crown on his forehead christ is holiness to jehovah aaron stood on behalf of israel christ not only stands on behalf of his people but they are united with him in his life praise the lord so each one of these aspects of the um the priests garment had symbolism typology for which christ were to come and fulfill and then next week we'll get into the offerings start getting into the offerings let's go ahead and answer our questions from this week um praise the lord why was a priesthood necessary the tabernacle would have been useless without its vessels and the tabernacle with its vessels would have been in their service but for a living living family a priest constantly engaged in various activities within the holy place and about the various holy vessels because they acted as mediators all right this one's going to be big give at least three contrasts or similarities between the high priests of the old covenant and jesus our high priest of the new covenant and i did it one better i got four hallelujah all right contrast the leadership or kingship of moses as well as the office of mediator were in him kept apart from the priesthood which was confined to aaron and his sons and these dignities were thus lodged in different persons whereas one epistle to the hebrews is to point out the lord jesus in his resurrection combining in himself the various offices and dignities the lord mediator apostles surety captain and shepherd second similarity the wording of the first verse is remarkable take that's exodus 28 1 take unto thee aaron and his sons with him that he may minister aaron his sons formed but one ministry in the priest's office and aaron could not exercise his service unless his sons were taken with him is there not in this an intimation of the union and priesthood of christ and his house and that one great object of his priesthood is that he has many that he that is that he may minister to god representing his house and a typo there i had many instead of may um the high priest under the law had compassion upon the ignorant and on them and so then the similarity of the high priest not just of the um priesthood of the high priest uh upon them that were out of the way because he was conscious of infirmities himself the very fact that he was a sinner that was the earthly high priest was on qualification a qualification for that priesthood the lord jesus through his human life was perfected for priesthood he is able to sympathize because he had been tempted in all points like as we yet without sin he suffered being tempted and is therefore able to secure them that are tempted um praise the lord and then another um the priests of the house of levi were made without an oath and in consequences some of them were cut off from the priesthood as in the case of nadab abihu eli's line the lord jesus was made priest with an oath the lord swear and will not repent the unchangeableness of god's word and oath established it the lord jesus is the surety of the better covenant what did the priest's garments typify they typify the various powers responsibilities and qualities associated with that office and explain hebrews 7 11-17 aaron was made a priest after the law with carnal commandments whereas christ became a high priest after the power of endless life the glorious eternal power of resurrection life received out of death and he manifest his victory over death constituted him the great high priest what is the significance of the breastplate with the names of the precious stones because the pressure started to shine more brightly or brighter the light these stones were maintained in divine presence is undamaged undiminished luster and unaltered beauty which belong to the position in which the grace of god accept them whatever the failures of israel might be their names glittered before him jehovah had set them where no man could pluck them no one could enter the holy place to dim their luster the first row a sardis topaz and carbuncle second an emerald a sapphire and a diamond the third a ligure a gate an amethyst the fourth of a barrel and onyx and jasper and what truth to the body of christ is revealed here god was able to create variety without involving inferiority and it was so with the individuals that composed the body of christ and yet christ is seen in each with a particular beauty and glory and to which another does not intrude each has his place in the body a responsibility to magnify christ that does not belong to another in the view of the father the body shines with the brightness and the righteousness of christ and what were the two memorials of israel the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod were the names of the children of israel engraved upon them to be born before the lord on the shoulders of aaron and what two memorials do we have that correspond to them one of them is our absolute redemption from the kingdom of darkness through the blood of the lamb and our standing before god as his children upheld in the presence in his presence in all glory and righteousness explain the ermum and the thuman urban means light through it means perfection these mysterious contents of the breastplate seem to direct our thoughts to the heart of the lord jesus as containing all light and perfection all grace and truth all mercy and righteousness and what did the golden bells and pomegranates signify pomegranate signified fruits gathered from the earth thus the high priest proclaimed on the entrance unto the holiest that he had come from the world proclaiming his earth walk the golden bell sent forth a heavenly melody and when he would return again from the immediate presence of the glory into the camp his retiring footsteps rang out an unearthly sound they proclaim his heavenly walk in the most holy place and last what does the mitre signify on the head of the high priest the minor covering the head of the high priest was a type of being subject to god and he was always supposed to be standing in the presence of god the white fine linen of which it was made is an emblem of the righteousness and purity which must be manifested in one who stands in the presence of god on the behalf of others so even down to the garments address of the high priest we see god pointing to jesus and then pointing to jesus putting to our redemption and reconciliation to himself in perfect harmony with the heart and plan of a father and his family glory be to god i said glory be to god hallelujah praise the lord so um we're glad you could be with us tonight and um trust that you're studying this is just opening your eyes to the glorious truths that our whole the whole bible was written as a blueprint of the plan of redemption for god and fallen humanity to be reconciled through a supernatural plan the father birthed out of his own heart manifested in jesus christ bringing us back into harmonious relationship with himself through the offering of his own son as he fulfills all these allegories and types hallelujah praise be to god amen um it's time to give if you want to give an offering tonight you can do so through cash app uh dollar sign faith victory church and uh paypal uh donations at fvc.org is the paypal connection and that would definitely be a part of what we do here at faith in victory church god's doing wonderful marvelous things in our midst and we'd love to have you be a part of it praise god and father we bless those tonight tithe and give thank you that heaven's winners are open unto them that you empty out on their blessings they don't have room enough to receive in jesus name amen and amen and amen don't forget to join us this sunday at one o'clock at where we're meeting currently at new life family church on 6701 ken coy road in high point um love to have you come out and be with us see what god's doing and be a part of a live service and give us an opportunity to meet you for the spirit of god to minister to you and um just the time in the presence of the lord hallelujah until we meet again i want to remind you of these verses of first john chapter 5 verse 4 that whatsoever is born of god overcometh the world and this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith we love you god bless you see you next time here at faith in victory church be blessed hallelujah good night you

Literacy and Discourse Lecture - ENGL 2089
hello and welcome to the first lecture in our first unit of the course um wherein I will introduce you to um the ideas of literacy and discourse two ideas and terms that would be very important to our work this semester so the purpose of this lecture is to again introduce you to these terms um these are fairly complex terms I'm going to throw a lot of ideas at you um so the idea is just to um digest them and to work through them to better understand them as we progress in the unit so first let's talk about what literacy is a many meaning thing the Oxford English Dictionary defines literacy as the ability to read a specific subject or medium or It also says literacy can mean a competence or knowledge in a certain area to put this into my own words I would say that literacy is generally a fluency in a practice so of course we're used to thinking of literacy as a fluency in the practice of reading or in the practice of writing but as our video showed um the what is literacy in the 21st century video that we looked at um the other day literacy can also mean the ability to read all kinds of different texts um whether that's um knowing how to work with a computer so to read a computer or whether that's understanding um dance um not only uh not only the terms and what they mean um when you're in a dance lesson let's say but the specific muscle groups you're working um knowing the technique behind what you're doing um if you're in medicine knowing how to read a body what different symptoms mean um in terms of reaching a diagnosis so really the idea of reading can be broadened um and we can look at the ways in which we do a number of different things in this world um James Paul G says in fact that um literacy is about ways of being in the world an idea that we'll come back to by the end of the lecture so one of the major ideas I want to get across to you in this lecture is that literacy is a social cultural practice and that means that this that literacy is formed um through social and cultural forces and it looks different and different cultural it looks it looks different in different cultural groups so we're looking at different ethnic groups age groups Sexes socioeconomic classes literacy changes those practices changes um because what we value in those different cultural groups changes and um we interact differently in those groups um because our social interactions um the communities we're in our backgrounds our cultures they're what form our literate practices um and that's an idea we'll talk about a lot this semester um but think about the people in your life um the ways in which you've done thing based on where you were who you were with um what was valued in that situation that all has um those all play factors in the formation of our literacies so to give you an example one surprising example is bedtime stories um and so I'm going to try to quickly give you an idea of um what an article by researcher Shirley Bryce Heath is all about um she looked at literate practices um in three different communities in North Carolina um she looked at what she called Main toown radville and tracton those are all pseudonyms given to three different um communities that were made up of different social classes um socioeconomic classes different racial demographics um main town was a middle class mostly White Community with white collar workers radville was more Blue Collar um still mostly white but um a lot of Mill workers working um at the Mill doing labor um and then trackon was a mostly African-American Community um also doing labor um and was significantly poorer than the other two that she looked at so the basic idea um here is that bedtime stories are something that many of us often take for granted as something that every child grows up with but truly bedtime stories are a so socially and culturally situated practice um it's not something that happened in all three of these communities in the same way or even at all in traon um in tracton they encouraged children to interact in different in other ways um instead of reading them stories they were integrated into adult conversations um they told stories they had other practices that stood in for bedtime stories um and although bedtime stories were being read in radville they were being read in different ways children were being asked different questions about the books they were being read they were interacting with the books in a different way and they were taught to Value the books in a different way um so the different values of these different communities um think of main toown for instance um being middle class and white collar most of the uh parents in main toown had jobs that required um a college degree to get so they really valued education because they saw it as leading to their way of life so that Community valued books and really impressed upon their children how important they were whereas books were still given importance in the other two communities but in a different way um so I'm not sure maybe I'm starting to confuse you at this point um it's a very long article that goes into a lot of nuance but basically I want you to think of the fact that different cultures have different ways of taking as Bryce puts it from meaning from one's environment so we have different ways of reading and interacting within that environment that are shaped by our values and our culture what we're really talking about when we talk about expanding literacy Beyond reading and writing is the idea of multiliteracies and this is a term that came that arose when many scholars and researchers in writing studies education and Linguistics felt that literacy was about more than just the ability to read and write James Paul G says that literacy is about not just the you know the ability to put together words to spell to you know learn grammar it's not just about the language itself but it's the meaning behind what we say that is really integral to an understanding of literacy as well I want you to think about the plural literacies in your lives and hopefully the discussion board activity kind of helped you get at that idea the fact that um you are literate in a number of different practices and sometimes you're literate in the same practice but you go about it in different ways when you're within different discourse communities so discourse Community is a term that we'll be talking about this semester um and one really basic way of understanding it is just a cultural group that has shared values and ways of doing things shared literacies and shared texts um so you may for instance at use be a part of the University of Cincinnati discourse Community um you're also part of um the discourse community of universities but you're also moving through several different discourse communities within the university um perhaps you belong to um a fraternity or sorority or um a club sport or a social group perhaps you are taking biology classes and engineering classes and architecture classes and dance classes and music classes those are all different discourse communities they have different ways of approaching the world they have different ways of reading texts they have different texts they're using um and they have different values so again discourse Community is an idea that we're going to get at in more detail at the end of this towards the end of the semester but I want you to be thinking now about the fact that you involved in several discourse communities and that those discourse communities shape your literacies um you may have also noticed that I've been throwing around the word text a lot in a way that could possibly be possibly be confusing if you're thinking of a text as simply a document with printed words um in writing studies a text can also refer to any kind of artifact that can be studied so um a dance performance um a painting um food you know baked uh put together by a chef um a web page a video These can all all be texts um some kind of object that we can study so that's something to keep in mind as we continue as well so the second part of the lecture then is closely related to literacy um I want us to start thinking about discourse so discourse is the systems of language used by communities and cultural groups and sometimes we call these dialects the textbook definition says that it's language and action um and the second part of the definition on this PowerPoint slide is the one to focus on here so again on the previous slide we said that discourse was a system of language right so um the textbook definition here says a collection of instances that demonstrate equality um so legal discourse is you know mangled and dry and difficult to read um there is something called Legal discourse because we see writing that has certain patterns um and we can say okay this is a system this is some kind of recurring pattern we're going to call this discourse it's not just that 50 different lawyers happen to magically write the same way this is um a pattern this is a system of language and this is an idea we'll talk about when you read um an essay by Amy ton called mother tongue in which she describes her many different englishes um so this kind of points back to the idea of dialects um she has different englishes that are formed by different part parts of her life she speaks a different kind of English with her mother than she speaks with other people who are not Chinese native speakers um and some of you may have um multiple dialects in your backgrounds as well perhaps um you are familiar with African-American vernaculars or Appalachian dialects or um Chicana uh languages um these are all different discourses different um collections of language so that is discourse with a lowercase D that we've been talking about I'm going to further complicate this by talking about the idea of discourse with a capital D and I'll use two men to do this James Paul G our friend from earlier in the PowerPoint who talked about ways of being in the world as literacy all right and that's closely connected to this idea of discourse I'm going to talk about and I'm also going to use an example of baseball with my good friend Chase Utley here um so James G says that discourses with a capital D um and that's important he put a capital D on it CU he's trying to give it a new definition discourses are ways of being in the world they are forms of life which integrate words acts values beliefs attitudes and social identities as well as gestures glances body positions and clothes a discourse is a sort of identity kit which comes complete with the appropriate costume and instructions on how to act talk and often write so as to take on a particular role that others will recognize so let's use baseball as our example let's say that you were completely unfamiliar with baseball but you had decided that you wanted to go out for one of uc's intermural uh club uh baseball teams so in order to um you would find that when you tried out for the team and began attending practices that baseball players have a particular way of being that's kind of foreign to you as an outsider um obviously they're wearing uniforms so there's kind of an appropriate costume but they also think and talk and act in certain ways um a baseball player can kind of read a field in a certain way right um a really good batter knows how to read a pitch based on um what they observe in the pitcher and how he's throwing the ball um they know how to read The Outfield um and the infield to kind of g gauge where to hit the ball um they have different ways of acting they have certain values and attitudes there's definitely um a pattern of language that's happening there that's very particular to baseball as well um if you ever watch a baseball game you'll hear um particular terminology that means something there that doesn't necessarily mean the same thing elsewhere so you hear that um Chase atly for instance likes to crowd the plate when he's at that um that's a very kind of partic you know you can kind of get a sense for that as an outsider but maybe that means something uh if you know baseball you know that that means that that's one reason why he gets hit by so many pitches every year because he likes to stand very close to the plate um and is therefore um pretty easy to hit with a ball when the pitch is trying to hit the strike zone um so there are levels of knowledge created based on these ways of being in the world so understanding them is to better understand that community and their ways so in conclusion the literacies and discourses in our everyday lives um tend to reveal our values backgrounds and really our identities the reason I have the thumb print here um so the social and cultural forces in your lives have tended to shape the ways in which you think and talk and act and that's the basic idea behind this lecture and the basic idea I want you to take moving forward

What's Wrong With Woke
you guys are making editorial work for me right now welcome to another episode of political tricks I'm Calvin Robertson and joining me is Joe Davidson Hamish hunter and a mr. JD how you doing guys hello hello Calvin Hamish what is going on in Politico world this week Meg's it you know it's been a tremendous story I think we were on top of this for a while we saw the seismic impact that make his decision to trash the royal name cash in for myself and Harry he was gonna have so I think that's been fun to watch it was dealt with quite swiftly and I think quite fairly by Her Majesty they're not going to use the H or H titles are they which is an interesting way of saying they're still going to keep them yeah and I think you know yeah I think we've seen that the as I said before the institutions do matter the people want the royal family to be representing them and to be working for them still and to be actually responsive and to fulfill its duties so all these kind of old-fashioned terms duty institution monarchy royal family since we mean something and we've seen a response from that and thank God we still have the Queen at 93 making good decisions and defusing things and de-escalating to use a term I don't think she de-escalated when she went to church with HRH Andrew this morning oh I was I was at de-escalating the situation people are wondering what the [ __ ] we lost Megan and Harry and we left with this old fart well that is a valid knowledge well because both Harry and Andrew and no longer active member the royal family well he's got he sought HRH isn't he he still passed the royal family well says Harry I mean oh yeah I mean he's a he's too I mean he hasn't been sort of abandoned or thrown out of the family he's just not a lot of working world either is neither is Andrew I think it's I think it you know I think it's a not really a decent point I mean what I would say Harry a race of noisy lester honest and what I would say in terms of Harry and Megan is you know they have got what they want seemingly and that they won't have to do any of the boring ribbon cutting and they're sort of free to do their own commercial stuff however obviously it's not going to be funded at all they're gonna have to pay back their money on from more coffee and I think they'll find probably that when they get to Vancouver or wherever they're going before they end up in the LA that she's basically at best analyst actress and he's sorry a nobody and I don't think they're gonna be the worldwide global progressive celebs that they think they are except that what we can we make some good tabloid copy and get Pat quite a bit more aggressively than they have been as members of the royal family but how can you say that this Andrew thing is and isn't important I mean well well if I did say that that would be extraordinary bread and say that it's yeah look I mean Andrews not a nice man there's a lot of there's a lot of things that to be very concerned about but it doesn't change the fact that Megan and Harry have acted pretty disgracefully mmm but though you see that this proportionate way the press covers the royal family when you got on one side you've got someone who's been accused of having intimate relations with a underage person know someone who is a friend of a billionaire pedophile and sex trafficker and then it takes Megan and Harry's desire to do whatever they want to do basically - I'm not sure when Andrews been having that great press to bring but to bring the royal family to its needs you know and this on the president last week you know to have this special meeting with the quote the Queen didn't have that special meeting to discuss this situation with Prince I was dealt with quite swiftly and he was sent into exile straightaway I was yeah probably did just wasn't based in the presser but it mean doesn't does that Megan took this issue to the press whereas of course Cassandra didn't what we did in his interview but in that situation but in that situation megan has bought the tablet invited them in and that's why the Queen's statement was public whereas with Prince Andrew was messy was dealt with swiftly and done and dusted and this thing it's been dealt with has it I mean he's the lawyers of that person in America has been asking for an interview with him the police the American no don't talk about his situation with the royal family his relationship as a working or non working world not talking about the court case that's fair but he's pretty high-profile for him to be attending church with his his mother this morning to go to church with your mother it's it's not really a royal duty is it I wasn't a public engagement allowed to go to church he probably needs no soul but look all of this of course you know we're not dealing with the racism it's all very racist of us because you know we're all white are from the two people who are white and we'll mail this very racist what we see I think maybe that may be the sort of final final observation for me on this health area is the complete disintegration of reality that is some quarters of public debate in this country that it doesn't matter what you're saying the arguments that you before with the evidence by boring the evidence that you put forward but actually who you are what you identify as the color of your skin your sexuality that some people think gives your arguments validity and if anyone sort of queries that or ask for a little bit of information that is that is perceived as being racist it's very boring that's driven by the media though I mean that that whole narrative that you're talking about though where people are stereotyped based on kind of protected characteristics it means the media that latches on to those kind of lines in the same people now who are saying that providing evidence for racism is racist are the same people such as baroness Chakravarty for instance one of my least favorite individuals in politics who would be the kind of person who would say that to provide evidence of these but the coverage of megan is racist is racist but then she's the same person who of course ignored mountains of evidence of anti-semitic racism in the Labor Party and was given a peerage as a result so this woman that sees racism in everything but couldn't find any racism in the in the Labor Party I mean I think we all agree about racism thing though is people are trying to redefine what racism means and it means being discriminatory or prejudice based on someone's race and people are turning into something completely different to meet their own agenda it doesn't work like that you can't just redefine words to make your argument work it just doesn't that it does devalue it devalues real racism that actually happens but also it's just to close down the debate and say well you can't argue against me because there's no way you can win because I am of an ethnic minority or not so you're not allowed to even mention this it's bizarre but you're right Calvin but at the same time you must admit that a lot of people act in unusual ways because other people are from different backgrounds and cultures I mean it's not you know there is there is a great there is a gray area there where people might not be outwardly racist but they allow their kind of prejudices to and it might be ignorant it might be not knowing other cultures or not knowing why or how things happen in other kind of parts of the world they allow them prejudices or lack of knowledge it's the way they act that might be the case but you as the good person should give people the benefit of the doubt and not assume what they're saying that they're saying something because they're racist unless they say something that is racist if you're assuming that what they're saying is wrong because they're racist you are the racist and I think it really comes down to Kennedy won't show anything in terms of the coverage of of mega Marvel that is racist I haven't seen an example of that which it is which is the monkey picture thing what that make actually well look I mean the key opinion former Danny Baker but yeah look I mean nothing that the coverage was it was a name that was a tweet I mean there plenty of tweets that that a dog li but in terms of the press I am T know they passed that test but then again I'm a white guy so obviously I don't know what that is Oh white privilege you know so I can talk about this but anyway look yeah at least we you know we were we were on top of this for that for our viewers we saw this was the huge issue and it's been it's been dealt with racism things as well though it's also sexism and all the isms because we had a comment from someone saying that one of us is potentially sexist or or misogynistic for saying that he is what if they're one of the labor leaders is disgusting I don't know which one of us said that about which labor leadership but Contenta but I will say that I do find Rebecca long Bailey disgusting and that doesn't make me a sexist or a misogynist in thinking that because I think that because of her policies because she's a korbinite and I think everything she stands for is disgusting now it's besting in the Labor Party Doron Butler indeed but for someone to assume that you think that because you're racist is an issue that they have not not your issue he's them advice at all do a butler just and more I mean this is the woman who thought things that 95% of giraffes yeah I mean you're right kind of hypersensitive kind of modes we've switched to like super sensitive and we jump every time someone says something which we disagree with and we kind of have these fancy tag lines by races discrimination and misogyny and x y&z but the but there but the thing is the problem is that it is masking true racism it is masking true misogyny and true anti-semitism because you've got this kind of wide area in the Middle where people are kind of jumping every time someone speaks and then all of the real stuff that's actually happening gets kind of sidelines because now people who have real grievances real problems they can't say anything or they're afraid to say something because now they're afraid to come out with their problems just in case you get the politically correct police or whatever land on them of a pile of breaks well you make a very good point look at what's happening all over the country with these grooming gangs for example they've been going on for decades absolute decades people young girls young women are getting raped and it's getting covered up because people are afraid of a race riots people are afraid of upsetting their own people as I bought this topic up John's face when don't talk about it it was because of the disgust that I feel that this issue I mean it's it's it's yeah it's an absolute national disgrace why is there not being a public inquiry into this this has happened to thousands of times across across the country there's a cultural element to it there's also a duty of care element to it I was a counselor for four years and I was a quote one of the individuals on the council he was a corporate parent for children who were in care and that local authority these children were in care for [ __ ] sake they were actually being paid for by the state in these homes and these men were allowed to come and go as they please and take them away what the [ __ ] was going on yeah absolutely unbelievable that this was happening so first spective there should be a national inquiry into what the [ __ ] was happening I was absolutely absolutely right but don't you think the press kind of takes the story one step too far the way they describe and they had adjectives like I don't know like they say the Muslim grooming gowns I mean it's a bit because this we talk about young women young girls that have been raped and abused and your initial problem is that the press are talking about them being Muslim grooming again the problem is that most of these men were most known under my problem in my initial problem isn't there my initial problem is why are girls being allowed to be put in those situations but the barriers out because people part of the investigation would be why there was this cultural issue in particular but I think it a bigger part would be what the [ __ ] was going on in these care homes and why were it why why would why was the acts I mean all sorts of arrangements what was the supervision of these girls why were they having counselors drug counselors who were telling who advising them on a better way to take heroin out to a fifteen-year-old girl I mean absolutely unbelievable permissiveness must be affronted by the taxpayer for God's sake so that that is a huge issue that has not been dealt with and then you know that yeah the coach was side on the back of it as well it should should be looked at of course it should but there are so many issues there and why there hasn't been a pub there was a public inquiry into what I mean think of some of the ridiculous public inquiries they've been and and we can't have one into this and this is I mean if you look at the look at the allegations of Carl Beach what formerly known as Nick who's I think now serving her master's pleasure who sort of made up these really extraordinary stories about Westminster paedophile gangs and all sorts of you know cabinet ministers and all that doing very odd baby's ugly fantasy a huge amounts of time and money was spent chasing this which you know I think if you know anyone spent half an hour with this guy you see complete fantasy stand his stories and stack up people were hounded dual Britain who you know founded to his grave little Bramall it separately Cliff Richard at to Paul Gambaccini have faced huge issues and sort of wonder what is going on in our our sort of policing and in the prosecution service that's really sort of getting all this very very wrong I think I was higher than is much higher than that the the carers the counselors the police they all knew about this but they were brave enough to stand up against it because they were getting memos and orders from the top from the Home Office we're talking about Jackie Smith we talk about Gordon Brown we're talking about all the way into into number 10 down the street people are saying to brush this under the carpet because they didn't want to race riots because they're so scared of what people would happen if it came out that these were Pakistani Muslims they were grooming young white girls so young white girls have been ditched aside called prostitutes called promiscuous girls for the sake of covering up the comments that now shall the Labour MP made about about this year's she's got a history of making some incredibly julious remarks and you know I think I think a lot of people just need to take a step back and actually think that were the important things here are and what's important is the safety well-being of children and fighting and monitoring crime and every step of the ladder these people had a duty of care like joe said to these young girls and each one of them should be held accountable for their actions in this horrendous and it's not going to go away but yeah horrendous we need to see people prosecuted and locked out I mean in fact the fabric of our society is really at stake with what's going on and these are young children all across the country it's unbelievable no I'm not here to do I'm not defending anyone Kelvin I'm just saying I'm just saying that the media needs to participate in solving problems not creating more problems no they just had a report on the news that's all we need to do yeah so another big big industrial story this week is the potential tax holiday that fly be the airliner has been given they were running in sort of quite niche domestic routes within the United Kingdom Cornwall Belfast and other places and the government has stepped in and suggested that one of the things they might do is give them a bit of a tax holiday as it were postponed some of the passenger duty tax that is due so they can get their finances in order this is caused a bit of an uproar amongst certain sectors of the public and also on the airline industry people at Ryanair and easyJet not very happy about this all they actually think that I'm ok with it and the reason I'm ok with it is because these two folds this rule it's a tax holiday it's not a bailout or some people calling it yeah the tax will get paid if if Flybe continues there actually I think probably when we're talking about routes that are not commercial but are important I think the government probably does have a duty to step in if we talk about nationalizing flight routes no no I'm not - I'm nationalizing no what I'm saying is that in the same way that we build roads and pay for revolution roofs to get up to places like you know remote places or you know when Royal Mail was still nationalized you know they're sending a letter to John O'Groats was the same as sending it to customers London then I think that actually the good that is a role the government can play if we're talking about proper package holidays to Malaga then no I don't think you would be I seems of extremely confused confused policy to me it's it's going in all sorts of different directions it's subsidizing planes which in the current climate seems very dodgy it's saying that's flying regional routes is a public service apparently but then it's ignore investing in in Trenton trains and then the public attacks holiday look I'm an accountant I would love to have a you know have a tax holiday and and essentially what you're saying is it's like a v80 payment so it's essentially saying you don't have to pay over the VA - that you've collected I mean how many businesses across this country would absolutely love that you know it's it's very inconsistent and it seems it seems just very confused for me and it speaks to the fundamental dilemma that will the Conservatives will face over the next five years which is you know how much are they going to be a genuinely liberal liberal economic party or how much are they going to succumb to this pressure to pick winners in the economy which so I mean is maybe there's no marketplace for four new key to London running running an airline it's a free market so there obviously is a market there just people don't want to do it because it doesn't make any money but that doesn't mean that why do we have it because it is someone has taken the view rightly wrong and I don't you know use the service but someone's taking the view that it's it's important in the same way that you the government steps in when it is not economical for businesses and all sorts of things but we think that it is important to date for example the Coast Guard right you could you can make a lot of money I mean that's a little bit different I mean I don't know III struggled to see how we can continue agenda by subsidizing failing Airlines frankly I mean it's not just again if this was Thomas Thomas cook or ba then yeah I wouldn't want to subsidize a failing only airline but this is this is one of those moments where the market is providing something which is a quasi public service but what's the point of subsidizing if if that route is never going to be profitable it's not subsidizing is it you just said it bishop well what well just what is the point overs you know giving it a nice cashflow boost I mean what so if let's just proceeding from the assumption that it is we've decided that we have to have internal flights from sake or wall to London because there is a pressing reason or indeed you know yeah parts of Scotland to Fort William or something yeah let's proceed on the basis that that has to happen either a private company does it all the government does it and I'm sure you wouldn't want the government to have a properly nationalized domestic airline flying these routes but actually it's probably better off for the taxpayer if we give them a little bit of leeway here and there getting them on their feet if it's a vital service a local national exactly it's a vital service I'm gonna have a problem with it being nationalized within the m25 and you've never been to go on like this isn't the bailout like Kimmage said it's a state loan on commercial terms and it hasn't been finalized yet and so it's kind of bizarre that Andrew led some grand chaps of celebrating on Twitter because there is those crucial steps that has to be approved for example the HMRC has to approve this it may not happen and it's just so for me it's just an example of how useless this government is they pretend to be free-market liberal what Evers and basically their labor but in conservative clothing that's effectively what they are they're socialists oh they're public appeases they disappears anyone like anyone anytime someone something happens and they like oh that's going to improve our ratings this can improve our percentages than political definite school yeah every all these decisions now that be made of political Hamish I don't agree with you because the owners of this company are billion I mean why can't billionaires bail themselves out why should the government now step in to bail out a business that's owned by billionaire companies no just ask question would if this if this airline really failed how much worse off would we be as a country genuinely unlike Ryanair and easyJet and those people saying if anticompetitive it should be at their level of field for everyone that's the point maybe they could if there was no tax for people that run that route maybe they could compete they're great because the route isn't profitable so the-- if there's no taxes charged on that route then maybe other firms would open up all that does is it encourages businesses to behave even worse it doesn't hold them to account because they know that at the end of the day they can just do whatever they want and then the government's still going to come and help them out okay so how does not confers that make it better is that I agree it's not conservative is confuse just seems confused and it's setting up a load of precedents which we are happy to monitor on the show and let's see the number of that you know every time there's a new bailout let's bring it on let's have bailout of the weak interested I think it's I think it's very interesting that the three of you are very happy to go around using the London's heavily subsidized public transport system to go to and from work and home and all these places but you know when we're talking about a very small but important little internal route for people in the countryside who you guys literally never met even know where it is on the map you know it's just sort of this kind of like London elitist hey major would you say that launderettes are essential to to to though our society no no so no Flybe is more useful than so so you're saying poor people who live in apartments that don't have washing machines don't need to wash their clothes pretty essential yes yes right I should get a tax break for housing your mayor should get a tax break for providing housing for people that run that's not what I'm saying I'm not saying that everything everywhere every business should get a tax break although I think that you know I'm generally in favor of not taxing business I'm saying in this one instance I can see that it's an instance where the where the private sector and the public sector you sort of meet and I'm not too bothered about you know it's not even a bailout this is just everything a little tax holidays and I know you or when I'll be asking them really yeah I mean I think I mean RBS that west and there's been absolute [ __ ] for ten years frankly I mean I've been a I've been a customer for a long time and I wish I could lick I could leave and frankly I should but usually it doesn't hamish you buying out and make foreign object doesn't actually improve it doesn't actually improve the service I think I think next responded to this this is one you know this is like one slice of cake for the for the person who's breaking their diet now let's let's see what happens you know let's see next week what's what's build-out next you know and then and then phone I did you think it's very very inconsistent but let's monitor it and don't ever call us Metropolitan liberal elites again Hamish I calls it like a C's accounting so thank you very much for watching this has been political drags I've been Calvin Robinson with me as being Joel Hamish and Amir let's see on the next one hi everyone should we say hello to some friends of the show anywhere but everyone doesn't say hello to friends of the show well actually I was canvassing today and in the pub afterwards a couple of Liberal Democrats said we watch your webcast and I enjoyed they enjoyed me they hated you but that's that's not they actually said joel is he's okay he's not too bad are you sure yeah you know I'm delighted to hear that but Lib Dems are pushing for a big council by-election gain in Albertson on Thursday and Brent so that's gonna be a big news let's see what you know let's see what happens there labour counts the Labour candidate has been suspended during the short campaign from the party so you know huge opportunity for a Lib Dem game there and the crucial role to encourage the Lib Dems to keep watching ya know a Lib Dems hey I got I've got I got some feedback for one of our friends of the show Andrew Bush from Rochester why is a mere on the wrong side of every debate hashtag mark or not today okay so Akbar says have a listen to some of the episodes of your podcast and it's really good and I'll tell you why it's honest knowledgeable and witty no [ __ ] no filters [ __ ] you - that's good no filters sorry fur glass and finally just just one from from our favorite favorite academic doctor furlough from East Anglia University on the veganism podcast he said three jokes in this episode suppose that means next time we'll have none to balance it Thanks look there though right that's enough P days where

US stocks positive for 2016 and what’s next this week in markets
this is obviously weekly chart analysis webinar my name is Jasper Laura I've got the risk warning on the screen that we have to go through just for compliance purposes before we kick off our webinar okay there we are so in all honesty a little bit of a quiet day kicking off the week it's obviously a shortened week we've got good friday on friday and that's celebrated not just by us but by us markets as well and so that in combination with almost deliberately slower economic calendar in the lead-up sternum maybe maybe take some of the volatility outs of FX markets are noted on twitter that already volume volatility starts to come out of the FX market you know either easy to track just euro dollar as the main benchmark there and the the true range for the euro dollar was about sixty percent of its with average true range over the last 14 days so you can see that starting to contract a bit and that that's i think even more extreme today we're not saying too much movement the only one notably is the pound which isn't to Japan certainly one of the bigger laggards today after that news valley and duncan smith quick you know quitting the front bench of the Tory party after the budget and so that normally doesn't matter that kind of thing a bit of sort of internal parts of politics but obviously we've got the referendum coming up and you know the government is in favor of staying so in Duncan Smith is one of the the mps you favors exiting so it obviously yeah I would say it slightly damages the remain campaign modestly and so that's where you've seen the pound come off a bit we'll come back and talk about the town in more detail but I think maybe worth just having a little look back on what happened last week in terms of its impact on equity markets the most interesting by far not today so much sleeping like a pretty flat open in US markets but overall now this is our daily chart for the US Ser proxy for the Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled out a little bit maybe more than I would normally do it zoomed out a bit just because of this declining trend line that sets that's the the all-time high and it's connected these two peaks quite well from November excuse me and as you can see how to put in this vertical rally of the februari low and we're just running into this trend line now so just a little I'm not necessarily saying this trend line will cap the advance but I think it's pretty hard to dispute that this this rally is pretty overextended at this point now you can remain above oh you know in overbought territory on the RSI and other indicators for a long period of time when the trend is in place so never would I advocate just selling out of your long position or going short just because we're above 70 on the RSI or anything like that but you know we do have this trendline resistance and then even if we get through the trend line which i think is probably quite probable we have we have some of these Peaks beginning at this this December 28th 29th area and then back up to the the November peaks pretty much about 18,000 mark so interestingly actually probably read in you know online or in the papers but up and around this vicinity not far you know around so 17 500 to 600 mark on the Dow Jones takes the index back into positive Church you for the year and you can kind of pretty much see that according to our charts you know this is we're talking about these peaks from December and then when we look at the to January it you know there's a fourth of January the first opening jade us down here somewhere so yeah we'll see about that at the moment so quite quite the abrupt turn around a really nice classic double bottom pattern the objective of the double bottom was about 17 15 I've made you to come bubbly no 1217 505 so nice nicely reached we got a little pause in that area I think but fairly and we've just popped high for the next day and stalled a little bit today but most because the lower trading volume more than any real attempt to sell off so I don't if you if you've read my what is normally my calls morning report but erm i rated today just referencing the importance of the u.s. dollar so I'll close down the US 34 second but one thing for why it's important for US stocks the rally in stocks began before the dollar started losing value so the two are not completely in sync it does the dollar doesn't completely explain everything but I think it's added a bit of extra strength to the rebound which could have just been a dead cat bounce off a lowes and and sin us would flee drop into the lower lows but I think the reason part of the reason that didn't happen is that the weaker dollar did a couple of thing well did I would say three important things one is that it added support to the bouncing oil prickers obviously also nominated in dollars to it improves the prospect for for us company earnings and you can see that's partly why US stocks are doing so much better than european stocks i mean there's a bit of fundamentally theatre by a higher profits being made by US companies in general but still the multinationals are suffered a bit from the from the stronger dollar because obviously they're foreign earnings they try and repatriate it back to the US and don't as much from it so so now that you know that's that's going to be a boost to the development of the multinationals like Apple who oversee where they've got their product launch that's probably the biggest event for today Kim the lack of economic data that's about 6 p.m. gmt when Apple I think they're going to be launching a smaller cheaper iPhone and we'll have to see how markets react if that is the case but those kinds of companies likely to sue better and then the other big concern at the start of the year was the the Chinese you went and because the dollar has lost some value the Chinese went paint against the dollar there the People's Bank of China haven't had to haven't had to depreciate um against the dollar as much which was a big worry that that was a policy goal destined to boost Chinese exports and so that was confirmed again today by the premiere in China and I think that's part of the reasons why the the german dax was leading game just kind of sagging back a bit now but why we sort of us a big leg higher but this is obviously the dollar index and you can see we've really come down a fair bit from the peak and we just had a bit of a bounce on friday and seeing bit more games today but not not too much like red low volatility now we've looked at us markets you know this is the 5100 or our proxy for at least you can see we're just yeah compared to the US markets are now well above their 200-day moving average and sort of you know you could probably say something equivalent to sort of 6 800 or something if the footsie 100 were to be matching the dow jones it would be way up here but it's not i mean in a sense it is because it's challenging these same time period highs but obviously that bounce was that much shallower off the lows in august in the US markets got a good bounce off the lows in august and then came lower 3,100 is basically been in this range and we had this double fake-out lower which hasn't materialized in any big losses and now we're kind of doing the same on the top side where this was too high we tried to break out but just sort of failed so far that's it it's not triggering the sort of big bounce-back as this is because obviously on the downside you have short covering so people short the position and short the market below this low scramble to get out and anyone sure you know anywhere looking for looking to re-enter the market short on the bounce cover and that adds to the buying so don't get that quite so much on the upside but nonetheless bit of a fake-out higher at the moment we're below the 200-day moving average and higher we get into this range the bigger the risk of the the market rolling over there's not really a define trend and obviously terms of sort of value trading we're near the chopper end of the train the trading range than the bottom and you know start to get to the stage where you know cells are higher probability them then them buyers at this point would not made a higher high in the daily chart for a little while we have a weekly chart that's this but we made a lower loan weekly chart too so not too much defined trend and we're running into this 208 moving average so this is not really looking like a top pattern to me but nonetheless it doesn't necessarily have to adjust in a trading range near dis not really a top pattern either give arguably a sort of triangle ready to break out to the top side but it didn't he knew you could see something similar here where we chopped down and just run out Steven roll over quick look at European markets in comparison that was just looking at it we got quite a sharp bounce early you know just sort of around the time those days Chinese remarks for coming outside the leave and got quite strong bounce but really given a lot of those up now I think with a thin liquidity no one had the confidence of that move was going to get sustained we reached 10,000 100 and just rolled straight back but instead thousand again and so this is a really interesting in the dax because or hear the breakout from Head & Shoulders pattern but that bearish engulfing pattern that we saw on Thursday which from not mistaken was the ECB day his is basically making the making that whole breakout look a bit ominous and today if it finished the same way would be another fake out higher and add scope to the idea this this Head & Shoulders patterns about to break and if it does it's fairly clear that and I certainly won't be the only one with this on my chart with this lena left shoulder ahead right shoulder then yeah for fakes if it drops back below the neckline considerably particularly glowed thursday's low then i think that's quite a strong signal weakness in the market and obviously bear in mind that we are still below the 200-day moving average so a lot of reasons to think the market kids see significant weakness if this pattern gives way so definitely keep your eye on 99 40 ish about where we are at the moment or on the on the germany 30 as a proxy not just for german stocks but for for the footsie and further US stocks as well did mention for anyone new today obviously feel free to chuck through any questions if you had some on maybe a market less likely to be covered by me you know i'm just going to cover the major effects tears and commodities coming up next we've got about 15 minutes left to the webinar so definitely feel free to send those my way if it is something a bit more lengthy always feel free to send me a direct private message as well you know i can talk to you outside the forum of the public webinar so one of the reasons that the european stocks have been underperforming in the last week or so was obviously that kind of failure of the ECB policy to really kick into gear and then the the Fed meeting kind of rubbing salt into the wounds because really even though the ECB have doubled down on you know the quantitative easing program and and cutting interest rates into the negative it's not helped week in the euro because the Fed is looking less likely to raise rates at this point so this euro strength is not really other meant i think i said exact same line the last week's web now it's not because of strength in the euro it's just a relative weakness in the dollar that's pushing the Euro higher here so we're back up at you know these are basically this sort of the the the peak here you know it's kind of odd capping us about this or 1340 I think it's 13 70 75 80 which is the peak from the 11th of Feb this eleventh of Feb is a big date in a lot of markets it pulled a bottom in stocks top in gold top I think our goal has passed at things I think so silver top in top of the euro so a bit of a sort of risk asset swing point so when some of these markets brush through here it could be meaningful the Euro stalled at the moment it's gone inside day from friday so we're set to see that we've going to add weight to the downside but it's pulling back in the inside day I mean that's fairly typical to be honest you shouldn't get too scared from an inside day break out just because it pulls back into the day you don't see that's a lot of intraday movement doesn't necessarily mean it's not heading lower but should they close like this or even higher that'd be a bit of a fake out from inside day and could be a good sign that the mark is going to push back into into that peak so look out for that as a little potential opportunity to leave maybe go and test those those hi it's just been a 41-14 overall though bit like when we're looking at the pound hard to really pick up a massive so I wasn't found or no the foot see this is not really attending market right now the euro so you got to pick your spots again like I said they're the either will reach a word basic a sort of choppy sideways market so in that kind of environment selling near Peaks buying near troughs tends to be a bit more effective down buying breakouts or certainly you know selling breakouts so just if we pop through this high my my thinking is that the there's a greater likelihood that we roll over drop down again then there is that this move can take gets a continuation higher because you know look at the significant layers of resistance that we have not far above you know all those different levels are going to have different sellers looking to sell into the into the strength sleekly with the general fundamental view that you know these TV is obviously going in the opposite direction to the Fed even if the Fed slow down a bit but it we mentioned sterling in terms of today's drivers but otherwise it seems that we put a bit of a boss men I'm not sure it's going to dip back through 140 before the referendum it could do before the referendum but it would ruin really only be a bit of a sort of Scottish referendum style as those where the polls start getting really really Midway and uncertain closer to the day to the referendum that said yeah I think their poses polls are the only things you have to go on before an election but I think there's been a lot of evidence recently to say the polls you know are often very wrong at the moment we've made a higher high we've stalled above that higher now we're dropping below similar to the euro no getting a little fake out lower so we'll have to see whether we can sustain but to me this is a this is a pattern of uncertainty not necessarily bearishness this this sort of spinning top doji type pattern we saw on Friday but it just right after a breakout so you know not really what you want to see here particularly today's accent drop into the low you know you want to see that that moves continue but you know who looks like we've just run out of steam and things an idea we've got lots of layers of resistance above here it's not really an outwardly up trending market were well below the 200-day moving average so difficult to buy breakouts you know if anyone in Long Raymond 144 60 or something above that high to me well the benefit of hindsight but it's it's that riskier than if you were like going for a break down below this low obviously that didn't work out you know most strategies see a good high percentage of Miss trades but the nature of trading bird to me that that would be a higher probability trade looking for the break down there then this one would up here because the nature of the trend that were in as I said you know no coincidence really that that breakouts failed and that breakout sale because it's like I said it any sideways topping markets a breakout trades tend to have a lower probability than just buying off the they undervalued or selling the overvalued nearly engineer support resistance I mean now that chillin I guess that is more generally the case you know we're getting into a kind of trading gun acts in general obviously the breakout trade work less often but when they do where they work really nicely particularly if you Abel's you know if you want a strategy in place we had a hold on to them you know sort of trailing stopped right strategy you know they oversee the many losses are made up for by that big win it's kind of the nature of the beast but I think you get my point look at your Ganges versus sterling I've been laying out this this this range for a while now this point seven seven 2.79 range is fairly clear cut and it's been great for you know selling the top of the range buying the bottom of the range at some point it's got a breakout not really clear which way this still looks more like a continuation patent to me but could develop into a triple top the steno modest Head & Shoulders pattern and you know so we gotta you know gotta look again for the breakouts here it could be another fake breakdown but as we said before you know you get a lot of folks fakes but you got to keep taking them and eventually one get one goes in your favor and then you've got to cling onto it as bestie camp dollar/yen similar situation going on where we've we've basically put in what could be a triple bottom we've had two folds breaks below that 111 mark and I've been able to get any further but you know obviously the trend is very much down so I tend to think there is more likely hear that the drop down to 110 then there is a break of this declining trend line but still you know again when we talk about sideways market the high probability trade is buying these supports selling these resistances rather than looking for the breakout I think what we could maybe get is given that we've had to fake outs i mentioned this in the the chart forum as we've got a bit of them but potential support turned into resistance maybe from these lows around the one sort of twerking in a 112 25 ish so if we do get a little rebound to there maybe that's an area that the t'market can roll over again forward to actually achieve the breakout just have a question about brexit I mean I've got my own opinions on brexit but for the moment for that for the for the moment I I don't think that you know it's weighing on sterling you know I think it's every bit of news around breakfast brexit ism it's typically important for sterling but we're not saying any influence on gilt markets and we're not seeing really any influence on stocks I would argue and probably won't until closer to thee until the actual june's referendum date so yeah obviously got my opinions on whether we're better off in in Europe or not but yeah I'll leave everyone to make their own decision on that one so that some highlighting Brent here but the WTI obviously we were no early on in oil basically in this forty level in WG I is is causing a bigger problems we had a drop on fri there that was the first drop after two nice days of gains anything you can see the markets working quite orderly in oil you know benefit of hindsight obviously and you know you get a few little false breaks and things but nonetheless reasonable stop losses even selling what has been a very strong Levi you're getting some little dips at where you'd expect the dips to come from and so obviously we're a 40 mark here you know a nice trade if it were if you were to have the opportunity I think would be maybe another drop down to this 3750 and then eyeing 40 and 43 again that would be in line with the trend and so have a higher probability that if we try and sell verse 43 so it was 40 level and rebounds but then again 43 again with significant support for a while so get up to there i think that could be some resistance again and just below it we have these two peaks but I you know we haven't got there yet 40 is a big round number and on Friday we saw us Riggs have their first increase this year so yeah that's kind of the pan that we're going to see in market I know in all sorry for a while I think is that you know these US shale producers are very quick to get back online and start pumping oil again and so once we get a bumpy arising your price assembly us supply supply starts increasing again and drives the price back down so until we see other sources of supply normally namely OPEC and other kind of long-term deep water projects coming off line you know we're going to get this short-term effect of higher price higher supply for much from shale lower price lower output from shale back and forth gold is lost a bit of his lust over there are few days I mean largely down to the dollar dollar weakness that we've got a little bit of dollar strength we've been seeing and this channel you know this channel is kind of working we haven't had a chance to go up and test for 3900 mark yet and it looks like to me at this point I mean it's a consolidation so you know there's some pretty large tails though from the top of the downside hard to really tell which way it's going to go with that with the short-term trend favors a break higher below the 200 weeks moving average below 1300 favors a break lower so difficult to difficult to call at the moment you know sort of feel like it's do a big Corrections that that's not to say it can't have another little top first my assumption i would say i'd probably default towards if we do get a move up to 1310 is the higher probability area for for a deeper sell-off just going to quickly touch on copper because we've got an interesting pattern here we know we tried to take out the the previous peak for march fail to do so and put in a shooting star reversal so if we got a close below there especially that's quite a bearish signal especially as we just made it above the 200-day moving average not really confirmed at the moment we have to see how today closes but it plays close is lower or even it's just them today's peak is lower than them Friday's we're going to have a bit of bearish divergence you know higher high and a lower low reversal candlestick pattern a few things to point towards a correction there in silver back perhaps down to 220 again perhaps lower okay that's it for this week's webinar we pretty much got a couple minutes left thank you very much all for attending hope it was helpful good luck with trading this week didn't really cover too many of the major economic announcements to coming up really because there isn't many we do have us durable-goods probably the the biggest one tomorrow is quite big because we've got the eurozone PMI both German major German business and investor confidence surveys out and UK inflation data or out tomorrow and then we have UK retail sales on Thursday that's the same day as the durable goods and then and then just nothing on Friday for the bank holiday so probably not going to be economic data necessarily driving thing sense not a big influence in the webinar today watch out for the direction of the US dollar we do have the fed and ECB speakers trying to influence things or watch out for that thanks again everyone and have a pista just you

The Geopolitics of COVID-19 and Climate Change
we're live welcome everybody to this webinar we have called politics of carbon 19 and trying to change and we are so glad we have so many attendees to this webinar and my name is ava crude Meyer I'm a Swedish science communicator and the moderator and now in front of your eyes I am sort of transformed into a digital version of myself facilitating webinars and online meetings instead of real ones the corona virus changes everything for all of us I've been working with the my strategy politics research program for some years now and we've actually never had so many participants at any event before so you're over 1,000 women and men out there all over the world who have actually registered for this seminar webinar it is sorry I want each of you to feel warmly welcome and we all hope to be able to meet your expectations so you can take the next slide there young the expectations today are around knowledge the situation is serious and full of uncertainties today the 3rd of April 2020 and we are probably just in the beginning of this pandemic people are dying in the world in our research program mystery politics we use the tagline navigating towards a secure and sustainable future what do we make of this under stood a circumstances could this pandemic be the catalyst for society transformation to more sustainability or will efforts to restore business as usual drive a new surge of carbon emissions fears and international distrust we see signs of generosity and protectionism going on at the same time how can we understand this and how does the pandemic affect the climate negotiation processes and the 2030 agenda but also initiatives like the new European Green Deal and the Chinese belton roved initiatives these are all examples of issues that we will discuss today so some house rules on the next picture I think it is yeah there we are so you as an attendee to this webinar or more than welcome to use this Q&A button you see it there on the screen it's a question mark in a little bubble please note your name and country organization because it's nice for us to know who you are be short and clear it's of course good always and we will try to answer also short and clear I will encourage the panelists to do so and I also want to inform you that this webinar is being recorded and you can see it afterwards from our website please use the hashtag mystery politics and covered 19 if you want to do some tweets or whatever ok let's look at the next slide please here we have the agenda for the webinar and I would like now every presentation you see prison presenter you can see we have seven of them so it's quite a tight program here I would like to turn to each one of you and I begin with the bureau linear our program director mr. to politics can you wave and say hello for us hello on the mic that's better hello that's better that you use the microphone that's true unmute and say hello great and then I turned to Dan Smith the director of C Bri can we also have a hello from you I think it lags a little so there you are now we can all see you way down please but you were not doing it you were not like them so then we have Matias Creamery are you with us Matias on the phone yeah good morning everyone good morning I'm so glad because we had some technical challenges just before but now we can great I can join you in yes Marie from the Swedish foreign ministry we are so glad that you're with us Nick maybe me Bay director eg are you with us good morning good morning can we all can we see you there also let's see good wonderful wonderful and

University and I were in your pub in Stockholm yellow hello waving there thank you very much and Viktor galas Stockholm resilience center deputy director good morning everyone good morning can we see you there also the picture lovely last but not least also passion research Directorate sei hello hello there hi lovely to see you then I would like to turn to Robert what a communications director at sei are you with us Rob you are and you will help me with the Q&A session I'm so glad and grateful for that and you're actually on the little island of Ireland aren't you that's right the ever great

so that we should listen to all presenters first and then we will moderate a Q&A session so what you do then once again is that you text your question in the Q&A session there you we can't have you unfortunately in picture all of you but we can see your questions when you post them and we will try of course to ask as many as we can also as many as we can so but now are you all with us so let's start with the first presentation then and Fionnuala linear and you are a professor in environmental change at the Center for climate science and Policy Research at Lynn shipping University in Sweden and you are also actually an associate research fellow at the Institute for science innovation and society at Oxford University you are of course also the program director of the mr. active politics program so I leave the word now to you you know la thank you as an introduction to today's webinar I will shortly % the focus of this research program is tragic politics and why we focus on the concepts of societal transformation and disruptions so could I have the focus on the dynamics of geopolitics and sustainable development in the intersection between national security human security environmental change and global governance next slide please we do this in three areas the geopolitics of decarbonization next slide please the new politics addict immunization food security and sustainable oceans so the carbon 19 virus seems poised to bring about economic and geopolitical disruptions and ultimately society transformation chance that may well define our coming decades in which the politics we focus on three transformative processes next slide base first we had the great acceleration of environmentalists socio-economic changes as illustrated by the graphs with Stephan and colleagues on the left-hand upper corner second to justice and global America challenged changes society transformation to what sustainability is the growing political ambition around the world transforming our world is the headline of the 2030 agenda of the sustainable development goals fundamental transformation our societies are also necessary perceiving greener cleaner healthier and more resilient societies by for example the European Commission's create new king green team that was launched in the autumn and many other countries the cities and companies around the world still how we how sustainable transformations are made sense of it varies significantly across societies something that we might return to in these discussions I saw that from some of the early questions third we see an ongoing technologically driven transformation driven by artificial intelligence machine learning nanotechnologies gene editing and so on all these processes change this to do a new political landscape so President Donald Trump and the Swedish activist group Attilan Bay it sends two radically different answer to these changes that profoundly alters international and transnational politics but also the you political landscape of climate policy next slide please what is then implied by the concept of transformation the butterfly's metamorphosis from poopa to caterpillar to butterfly is a frequently used category for transformations the causes of transition is often used the single change from one state to another such as from an energy system based on carbon to are based on renewables this does not necessarily involve profound changes of society societal transformations in contrast seamless found enduring nonlinear system change of how we organize our societies and live our lives it was social cultural technological political and ecological processes defined this way the carbon 19 reduction in pollution is far from an inspiring transformative events societies are just put on pause the transformative potential of deep enduring systems changed lies rather in the perspective sheets that the crisis can trigger among us individuals and the enormous leverage that they know enormous economic recovery programs can provide the ultimate goal or mystery of politics Eastern has the force that capacity in changing your political landscape so in a major participatory scenario exercise with our stakeholders we explore multiple scenarios of how the world might evolve over the next decades we identified many dislocations for the stakeholders pandemics was identified as a wild card but not presented as a religious restructuring in a summary scenarios it's against this background we want to better understand the role of disruptive events for society transformations next I please our society disruptions it can be defined as occurrences that interrupt the system or process from continuing as usual for a six fixed expected is a Latin root means break apart a disrupter can be a technology a political event an environmental disaster or a virus next slide please some silly destructive events it's essential to enable Society transformations disruptions to trigger transformations typically involve all three squares of transformations the tactical the political and personal others argue that disruptions could be actually working towards against the transformation the revolutionary approach could be make things go too fast today we lack the legitimacy of the trust was to say to sustainability transformations and so on in times of crisis social structures and institutions are put the tests know what my practices and habits are called into question disruptions afferent and alter how we make sense of the world how we behave to business to politics learn and go about our daily lives historically we can also see how disruptions can become defining moments it can lead to frustration polarization and social arrest but it can also probably use perspectives practices cultural expressions or to power relations and our opportunities for production and consumption that's like this historian William Seward has pointed how disruptions produced profound uncertainty how we get on with life he argues that I quote this uncertainty is a necessary condition for the kind of collected creativity that characterizes so many historical events and I'll cook the geopolitics in the aftermath of kuba 19 may well be defining historic moment for climate policy it could be the it could be tipping the scales of the Paris agreement we may see a chance or what's great isolation ISM and a carbon intensive recovery that's quite likely but we could also see an international politics of generosity a golden opportunity to turn recovery programs to green deals that they instigate and navigate transformations towards greener healthier and more just the resilient societies so I very much look forward to today's discussion on Wattpad carbon 19 will set us on thank you thank you so much via NOLA linear and I'm so sorry we can't hear the applause but they are out there thank you very much and here we see also all the partners of the geopolitics mr. de politics program on the slide I will now actually turn directly to our next speaker and we welcome Dan Smith the director of c3 the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute he has a long record of research and publications on a wide range of issues such as conflict and peace and relationship between change and insecurity gender aspects of conflict and peace building and got global conflict trends so we are very very curious to hear your five minutes Dan Smith the floor is yours thank you very much I can see the live symbol beside my picture on the little screen so I hope you can hear me real pleasure to be joining you all today what I really want to do is to I suppose is to question some of what seems to me is a general thinking that actually be oh no that was just expressing now which is the hopeful possibility that we learn from the crisis response to corvid in a way that allows us to deal much more positively with with climate change and they're not going to do that by outlining the alternative nightmare scenarios but let me but I want to look into the issues of knowledge and mindset in the world as it seems to us now to be changing and I think it's probably a quiet shared assessment or a shared impression that there can be gain changes in the current covert situation game changes for international transport game changes for the relationship between state and economy game changes for how we think about our leaders game changes perhaps for some political ideologies that's good and bad and where I want to start is with what is thought to be one of the great slogans of the British stiff upper-lip from the second world war so if you can move to the first of my slides from this one in there you are keep calm and carry on it's one of the most famous slogans the interesting thing was that this poster was not actually disseminated by the British during the Second World War and even more interestingly what it was planned for was for use if there were a German landing if there were a German invasion of Britain then the British people were going to be told to keep calm and carry on I'm not quite sure seemed to me thus when I was thinking about this to be the kind of advice you give when it's a bit too late and I think that too many leaders have shown the wrong kind of car it hasn't been an impressive display of resilience has it in our international political systems to see so many political leaders going into denial and then into certain kinds of disinformation and not only thinking about Donald Trump when I say that so what we have displayed to ourselves is somewhat unrelated Emes t'k and international societies and far from keep calm and carry on if you will show the next slide which is the result of some witty people messing around with well-known slogans and what we've had has been closer to now panic and freak out and I think in some ways I would see these two slogans as trying to generalize approaches as potentially being the opposite sides of the same coin so if you put up if you now hit the animation switch there you go what we're looking for I think is something which is neither the fake calm of keep calm and carry on old chap nor the throwing everything up in the air of now panic and freak out so what in these circumstances should we be looking for in essence of resilience since I started looking at the relationship between climate change and insecurity one of the things that has struck me most strongly is that in many ways resilience is fungible quality but if you are as a community resilient to the impact of say layered conflict in a neighboring area then you are probably relatively speaking resilient to the impact of climate change or of a flood or of a change in the economic conditions or of an influx of refugees and why is this what are the qualities which explained why resilience is fungible I think there - I think that one is the ability to handle information to receive information even if it and welcome to look it straight in the eye to discuss it to process it to disseminate it to draw conclusions and to act upon it and the second thing I think the resilient societies of all kinds show is the capacity for cooperation now if with one eye what we have seen is non resilient approach as far as information is concerned during the covert crisis with the other eye part of what we've seen is the weakness around cooperation we've seen a slamming of doors we've seen the rise of blame the other kind of political sentiments they see we've seen the rise of a kind of nationalism we've seen governments trying to resolve these these situations by themselves and this I think is where the geopolitics comes in because in today's toxic geopolitics we see on the one hand with climate change with cybercrime cyber vulnerabilities are now with Cova a rising need for international cooperation at the same time as we seem unfortunately to see a declining appetite for it and a declining respect for the norms that support and the laws that enable cooperation and then I think it has to be said that that is looking at things at a governmental and political level and what we also see in social movements and indeed in parts of the private sector are far more encouraging signs of both being able to handle information of wanting clarity and of being able to cooperate so I think that somewhere from some source we need to derive a socially based challenge to the geopolitics that seem to be emerging at the moment and then we will have a geopolitics or political relations that are fit for purpose in a climate changing anthracene well thank you very much thank you so much Dan extremely interesting there and I'm sure we will come back to many of the issues you discussed in the Q&A session thank you so much now I turn to tears and Mateus rumery you are with us on the phone I hope we can hear you yeah yes we can you are actually talking to us from the Global Agenda Department at the Swedish ministry ministry for Foreign Affairs and as a climate diplomat it's very interesting for us to listen to your to your perspectives here we've just heard that cop 26 in Glasgow has been postponed please tell us more about the corona crisis and effect on the ongoing negotiations please thanks very much and such a privilege to be on this very distinguished panel I'll just try to make basically three brief points and then we'll be looking forward to joining the discussion I mean I guess anyone who actually doubted the the impact of copy 19 on climate action I mean as you mentioned we we just need to look at the decision to postpone prop 26 taken earlier this week I mean we're we're obviously working on together with the new partners and and our UK partners to set a date for cook 26 during 2021 hopefully that will be set within a month or so but I would assume that many would be also answering questions but of putting questions as to what happens now with the kind of ambition that we wanted to see during 2020 mean as all the narrow 2020 was supposed to be the year of ambition where parties to the Paris agreement were to hand in their new and write nationally determined contributions or NDC's obviously I think it's fair to say that we will be seeing delays in that process just because of this sort of this year massive crisis that many countries are facing right now so how will we be able to mobilize that kind actionable suppor climate in at a time when economies are struggling and people are dying so I mean of course we will be doing everything we can from the from the Swedish side to make sure that we vote from from the Swedish and the yield perspective are doing Arbit and also supporting other countries in there as far as we can sort of to keep momentum going and make sure that we're delivering on the kind of commitments which were done in the Paris agreement so that will be my my first point on sort of keeping ambition alive throughout 2020 and beyond my second point would be sort of also what early presenters have been alluding to also something we both be the similarities and the differences between the two crises were working on so indeed the massive impact of the krona crisis but also between a crisis an ally that what kind of lesson and we learn from from for climate action when it comes to making having lessons from from the how we're dealing with the growing crisis they mean we've been speaking about the urgency of climate action for such a long time and so what can we learn from the massive mobilization we've seen in terms of resources and adjusting so quickly to this the situation that we're in right now ends what kind of lessons can be drawn from that also when it comes to climate action but also when it comes to charting our way out of this crisis and I think we'll hear more about also the sort of how we are setting the recovery of the crisis in the context of implementing the stds and the Paris agreement how do we make sure that we is delivering on those kinds of commitments which are already there in Paris and I think the the UN inspector general pretty very nice and also two to two leaders of the g20 just ahead of their summit last week on T of the importance of making sure that the recovery effort from credit 19 are sort of are building into our implementation of the STDs and and the Paris agreement and I would hope that we as as Sweden and elves also throughout Europe as a whole can build on the good examples that were that we already have in the Green Deal presented by by the European Commission be the the commitment by European Council in December or climate neutrality by 2030 many of you would have read the Financial Times this morning saying that the Green Deal is now put on the backburner I think all of us working would the climate action would be doing our very best to make sure that that would not be the case but rather finding ways to to link the the way out of a crisis to the work on going on on on climate action and my final point would be picking up on one of your questions initially you sort of on on be how how does this crisis that were in how could that serve as a catalyst for maybe new ways of working and I think just looking at the climate negotiations and how we're you know when I started this job awesome 18 months ago something it was really struck me sort of the enormity your plea negotiation process you know with 20 or me maybe even thirty thousand participants that part each strike each court you know in asking questions to colleagues do we we need to be these had these massive event in order to move the climate agenda forward and I guess never before has a people in DB the English saying you know be careful what we wish for has maybe nothing then I'm drilling that in in that sense that we now we were forced obviously to to look into new ways of working but maybe we can also see that as the possibility to seen how can we do things differently we had a call in one of the committee done in actual system we had a call yesterday to bring our work forward within the steering committee for the you see partnership last week and to bring that work forward so I think we're all in seeing how would you there are positive signs there yes I would think so yes I think maybe just to finish off from that to see how we can actually use those new wet and working methods also to bring the climate agenda forward in different ways thank you very much Matthias and and we will come back to those questions and I will now directly turn to our next speaker and that is Nick maybe from the III G think tank III G stands for third-generation environmentalism and you are a founder director of this think tank it's a non-profit European organization dedicated to accelerating the transition to sustainable development and I would like also to tell you that Nick is working very much on European climate and energy policies climate diplomacy foreign policy and he's also actually been working for the UK Prime Minister strategy unit leading work on energy and climate change and also prior to that at the UK for an office environment and policy Department and when you actually helped establishing the UK's I would say world leading environmental diplomacy Network chair Nick so we are so honored and happy that you are one of the presenters here today and I promised you a couple of more minutes than the others just because you're a guest here so please go ahead the world is your snake okay thanks very much next slide please so what I'm going to talk about very complementary to the others which is really how the climate community is starting to respond and firstly I'm going to really apologize to a number of words on the slides you're about to see but that's because they are working documents from our internal and network discussions about what we're actually going to do as opposed to well-honed presentation so take this as a glimpse of thinking in action from the front line of them trying to respond and these are discussions with both governments and non-governmental organizations I'm not going to read all the sides but gonna try and push some of the key messages and some of the ways our thinking is moving next slide so I think really I'm not I had much more the main thing I would point out is that everybody's talking as if the main issue is the response the health response decoded but we're already seeing second round impacts on debt in particular and economic growth particularly in emerging and developing countries and in oil exporting countries which could lead to a financial crisis which people are also responding to do and the potential for third round impacts we're already seeing some countries restricting food exports and if you remember the food price oil price crisis in the late 2000s before the financial crisis again we can see social stability impacts so again it's the time of high uncertainty and this is not going to be the only wave of action going forward as someone said the balance of cooperation versus isolation is still very unclear with US and China doing some rather silly public diplomacy on Twitter and through op eds with each other next slide but what does it mean for climate action pre covered we had very flat and oppositional geopolitics and we were looking for cop 26 and the conventional biodiversity to really create the dekor momentum around cooperation and an action and we completely changed now because kovat has created a huge geopolitical and geo-economic wave which now climate change has to react to harness and engage with so we're moving from an agenda setting approach to fitting into a mainstream agenda it means that cut 26 is less important in terms of driving overall action because the stimulus packages will do that in many ways but it's really vital to show the Paris regime of multilateralism is alive and working to drive cooperation the whole economic response duck Ovid is going to set the context for next five years minimum in terms of this and it will interact with climate impacts so the climate will carry on changing to shake national and international social contracts and of course for the next ten years we'll be living with the debt burden which has been racked up by cold response packages so the economics of action will be influenced hugely and it's really unclear if there's gonna be a big change that or if we'll see a pivot back to austerity politics and the third point is government action and therefore the politics of climate will become relatively more important because kovat is increasing the role and influence as a state in economic decision-making so next slide so that means quite a fundamental change for climate politics and people trying to shift the political climate on climate change firstly we need to move from a momentum based approach based around international events and high-profile people and announcements to really an interest based approach so why should people constructing postcode good recovery packages actually look at climate change issues what's their interest so it's a de different approach to winning the debate we need to look at this geologic for cooperation and understand there's no neutral economic stimulus for the climate this stimulus package is over the next 18 months why they put us back or put us forward and that means climate actors need to get into spaces pass they're less used to getting into in terms of mainstream political economic policy it's a real challenge to us as influencers to move forward and there already is an attack on climate action as a luxury good an inhibitor of growth and recovery and health spending both from ideological opponents and you know it some in the development community and other sectors who have always seen climate as a thing long far far away and not something immediate so we need to look at complementary agendas with other sectors rather than competition that requires us to reach out to a broader set of actors and then there'll be debates over the relative role of state and markets and we're already seeing people weaponizing because injudicious tweets about the humans of the virus and let's look at the wonderful benefits of the crisis some of those tweets are invented by right-wing provocateurs to say this is what greenies always wanted the destruction of the global economy so what it means is climate action and activism needs to move to accelerate mainstreaming into core debates and being strong alliances with health economic development peace building and other sectors so where you needed to do this anyway but we would think it was a five-year process now it's going to be a year-and-a-half process so final slide so we've wrapped that analysis into four kind of key challenges we think both governments and non-governmental actors who are pushing in for climate action will need to face immediately and start organizing around the first one which many have mentioned is the geopolitics of cooperation how do we move beyond the initial narrative stage we're seeing lots of op-eds and movements about cooperation to turn that into practical geopolitics and make 2020 one arc of super year for cooperation across all of the issues and especially because of the UK and Italy running the g7 and g20 and hopefully with the Democratic president there's a real potential there to do that but it needs practical projects to move around it's not just writing good speeches secondly as the UN Secretary General said recovering better how do we make sure the immediate stimulus packages don't invest in the wrong things and there's a lot of oil and gas companies trying to get their hands on public money but also looking at practical medium to long-term recovery we had lots of good speeches in the last crisis about green stimulus but only 15 percent of the money was spent on green and part of that was because we didn't have the mechanisms to actually make things happen so this is not just again needs to go beyond analysis to what's the practical ways of making this happen thirdly we need to build a global resilience alliance which is bringing together health food security development economic peace building communities inside and outside government to say we have built a very fragile and non resilient international and national systems we need to change the way we make immediate decisions and investments but also the longer-term regulation of governance and that's going to be the big battle of ideas next year that's that's the one we have to win collectively if we're gonna make sure we don't set us up for more crises and the last one is a is really gonna roll out a bit beyond that kind of winning the culture wall what's this gonna say about the balance between authoritarian and liberal states in terms of protecting their people what's the cultural impact going to be on behavior what's the second impact in the social contract I think that's going to roll out cut a deep deep change over the next piece and whose and to make sure that that's a pro climate Pro sustainability narrative is going to be vitally important so I'll stop there but these are these are how we're trying to work with others to build and repro for all our work practical workers politics and influencers in light of covert thank you thank you so much and that's see if I can thank you so much Nick thank you for sharing your your work in progress here really wonderful and I turn directly to our next speaker although I would like to ask a lot of questions there but we'll keep keep the pace here so you will have around them it's our second speaker from Lynn shipping University actually although I think you're based in Stockholm at the moment Eva is a senior lecturer and in her research she explores how ideas knowledge claims and best practices are enacted legitimated and used in global and environmental politics and governance of course so today you have chosen the title we cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis tell us more about it ever thank you very much thanks for having me so about the month ago when the coronavirus started to get a great body european continent that was doing research on the fridays for future movement our reading through gather to embrace public speeches that are nicely summarized the penguin book no one is too small to make a difference this one you can also see on the slide I think here if we have the right slide up yes good so throughout their public speeches yet they effectively insist that we cannot so the climate crisis without treating it as a crisis so it's a direct quote from her it's not my words so to secure liveable and safe climates for generations to come we must pull the emergency brake Kings make an effort and stop our excessive burning of fossil fuels so what you see on this slide is an excerpt from a speech that great the health of an extinction rebellion meeting in London two months after she had initiated a school strike outside the Swedish parliament and so here is her quote they keep on saying about climate change is an existential threat and the most important issue or and yet they just carry on like before there are no headlines no emergency meetings no breaking news no one is acting as if we were in a crisis even most green politicians and climate scientists go on flying around the world eating meat and dairy when reading through greater speeches and and doing research all them are on the Fridays for future movement is clear that greatest message of climate agency it's informed by scientific calculations of the global carbon budget which is there not the carbon that we still can admit before global durable mean warming reaches and if given temperature target and in this case they refer to the Paris agreement temperature target of one point five or two degrees warming's and now we know that the estimates of the remaining budded but it still are debated in scientific circles but given the fright is from the future movements have made effective use of this budget metaphor to hold us adults to account for our in actions when measured against the carbon budget of 1.5 degree warming motifs decarbonization policies fall short we already know that and here what perhaps can turn to the next slide so according to the online climate policy assessment climate action tracker Morocco here in green is so dry that only character become a positive pledges that are stranded enough to keep us below 1.5 degree warming a few countries in bright yellow had policies compatible with the two degree warming target but most national pledges major the Paris agreement so if so far highly insufficient so if current politicians are not radically increased as wasn't this year we are heading towards a three degree field were warming by 2100 but severe consequences for ecosystems species societies and people there are risks here it does crisis language and cry for help so why is it that a virus outbreak manages to produce an emergency response that 30 years of plumbing ago she Asians have not so how can we explain that governments now being Democratic support for authoritarian policies the severely restrict human mobility and freedoms but fail to do the same in view of what many climate scientists would RB as a much more profound and long terms planet crisis I will not pretend that I have the full answers to these questions I think we've already heard some suggestions here I think one important explanation of course is the time horizons of these events in excellent parts of the world the threat of the virus may seem much more immediate than the slowed violence of dying glaciers of species extinction of water shortage of degraded ecosystems of agricultural lands I also think that that an immediate and forceful response to the Korat coronavirus holds the promise of a return to business as usual in the near future whereas an effective response to climate change threatens business as usual also in the long run to reckon to keep global warming at the safe levels asked for regular button Bernie and her young climate activists we need to rapidly steer away from fossil fuel infrastructures and energy systems we need to rethink the way our globalized economy works we need to cut down on excessive consumption and travel change the pace of social life and I think perhaps most importantly learn to exercise climate solidarity irresponsibility in care so the time horizon a nature of these responses responses to these two crises are very different nonetheless I still think that the current corona event can offer an opportunity for social reflection and learning and we have already heard suggestions of that sort it certainly invites reflection on our hyper-connected global Connor the current lack of medical equipment in many European hospitals makes visible how critically dependent societies have become on global supply chains and trade flows and the transnational spread of the virus also tells us something about human mobility in the 21st century and the acceleration of social life and connectivity especially in privileged segments of society so these socio-economic interdependencies our signatures of a Liberal Democratic world order that has championed peaceful transnational relations through free trade social mobility strong multilateral institutions and I think it's this order but both the corona crisis in the short term and the climate crisis more long-term call into question so I think these crises invite us to consider how to best organize global life in the future and I look forward to talking more about that with you as we proceed thank you thank you Eva let's see if we can move on it thank you so much thank you for that one and for bringing great day into the discussion also we turn directly to our next speaker and this is Victor galas he is the deputy director and associate professor at Stockton resilience center at Stockholm University and he's also the program director at the bear Institute of ecological economics one of the Institute's institutions of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Victor has been very active on Twitter if you if you follow him those days and when debating corona and climate change one of my favorite quotes from victor goes the corona crisis is a hundred metre race and the climate crisis is a marathon but we need to run both at the same time so welcome Victor thank you yeah I hope you hear me okay we do thanks to mr. geopolitics for inviting me important discussion to have in very troubling times I as some of you know already I find it very difficult to see a silver silver lining and what we experience at the moment but but of course it's our responsibility to help publican and people to unpack what's happening what I want to bring to the discussions I think are four concerns for four trends or early warnings of where this these events might take us into the near future and and in the end try to try to get a little bit more into what can we do proactively to steer away from from some of the worst impacts so my first point is of course something that people have already touched upon in a very good way so Tennessee has a nick is that the climb the the political and economic context for climate negotiations has just totally changed and not for the good to be too pretty very very briefly but you already said that the only thing that I wanted to bring to the table in addition that that also applies to the biodiversity biodiversity issues and the Convention for Biological Diversity and that was moving into a post 2020 framework very important ramping up actions at the international level to address biodiversity and biodiversity loss and habitat loss is much more closely associated with pandemics such as these than climate and the term is emerging infectious diseases or or stenosis so that's a concern so what's happening now is undermining our capacity to address not only the climate challenge but future pandemics the other point for the next next animation please that I wanted to bring out is based on historical examples of financial crises and how they impact on our living planet and the climate instead there tends to be Domino effects and I think Nick already brought that up in terms of massive loans and and forseeable depth that many countries will face specially in the global south historically we know that some of the effects will be an increased attractive extraction of natural resources so it's not just about the climate it's not only that the climate curve will move up again it's also that some countries will be forced to ramp up extraction of natural resources so we saw that for for Malaysia after the Asian crisis in 1997 you saw a rapid expansion of palm oil plantations with climate and biodiversity impacts I'm very concerned of what is likely or could happen in Brazil and the Amazon after this we need to be aware of that there might be needs or or some countries will see the need to boost mineral extraction or seafood activities etc so it's the whole span of activities that are just beyond just the climate it's also our living planet so the third third point in the next animation please something that we've seen before for other endemics emerging infectious disease outbreaks with pandemic potential I'm talking about avian influenza and SARS for example there is something called securitization I'm not going to go into details of that it's a it's a big field but we know from from previous outbreaks what tends to happen is that we get these very very quick responses based on military force once you see pandemics as a security threat and in many regards it makes sense because you need to act quickly and the military and then security framing is what you have in hand but we also know based on from other dynamics that these approaches are very reactive they're very quick very drastic and suddenly you have military marching on the streets you see that very clearly in Latin America whatever that means for democracies democratization processes etc another thing that tends to follow from this securitisation framing is that it builds on a perception that these diseases are something that evolved in the global south from poor conditions that we in the global north need to protect ourselves from at all costs and that that narrows down considerably what kind of policies you apply and I will give more examples of that so what happens in the in this case and we've saw that for avian influenza you see that for SARS is that you see investments in early warning and response infrastructures for one particular disease instead of trying to cope with a multitude of disease risks especially those that that have big impacts on the most vulnerable so while we talk about coronavirus we are not talking about neglect neglected tropical diseases for example there is very little discussion maybe little about black health impacts of black carbon in Asia Africa for example so there's something about securitisation that brings down paths that is very reactive and that narrows down those sort of interventions that we think in the end and then the last point which might seem loosely connected to sustainability but I think is important if I can get that last animation please has to do with with data and monitoring and surveillance so even if you can put that animation on please so we're seeing in many parts of the world now concerns about the fact that the digital surveillance States or the emergence of the digital surveillance state which in some sense is logical with more data around how people are moving around in cities with cell phones etc you can use that data to track movement to make sure that people don't break quarantine rules etc and and that that is happening now in South Korea Taiwan Israel for example there are some news articles about Moscow using facial recognition technologies to track people that shouldn't be out moving etc there you can understand it they can help you track hoe with symptoms etc the question is all these innovations digital innovations are temporary but how do we make sure that they're temporary now do we make sure that they don't violate privacy etc so moving to the next slide in terms of how how we can think about this in a more creative way and try to avoid these sort of outcomes for the first third slide so what at this point we need to avoid a scenario where the climate community has a hammer and every problem is a nail to keep really very bluntly I think there needs to be a very serious and honest discussion about how we bring climate and biodiversity policy into the health domain and I've written one health care because one health is the framework for you will you think about animal and human health and the interactions of that so what are the policies that we need to learn in the next year that would have climate benefits that build on nature based solutions but they're also reduced infectious disease risks in the future and especially the most vulnerable what is that I'm all for an energy transition I think it's great but how do we bring the one health perspective into what we're discussing now in the next cops both the climate and the CBD cop next point more animation please so the other thing is that we know from before that countries tend to boost their extraction of natural resources or natural capital after a national crisis what are the policies that we can put in place in advance to make sure that that doesn't happen in a destructive way how do we make sure that countries don't lose deforestation rates just because they need to pay up debts to cope with this massive pandemic for example well what's the role of the global community to help do that Third Point okay Victor is that you're lost to very shortly moving from pandemic preparedness to healthy life from all so for example when preparing for the next pandemic how do we make sure that the discussion is not just about tracking one disease and fears of having them hit the global North but how do we should secure that those policies take a look at all health challenges that people face especially the most vulnerable and then the last point sorry for dragging over getting too excited yeah in terms of privacy so this is a big discussion already now happening there's a big group of people developing things or ideas around responsible AI of course related to artificial intelligence that needs to be brought into discussions about this new surveillance technologies that we're seeing in the world thank you sorry for taking up too much time Thank You Victor thank you so let's say you find me picture there Thank You Victor and now we have just one more percenter to go so please stay with us because soon we will start the Q&A session but before that AUSA fashion you are the research director at sei and you're the Stockholm environmental Institute that is and I would like to ask you now since you're the last speaker also I'm curious about what you bring with you from what you've heard here today we've been tapping a lot of interesting brains here this morning so how can a CI contribute in in this context and what kind of research do you have and what more do you want to do in order to address those very challenging questions please panel I think I expected we would have lots of good things so I will just try to maybe amplify a few things I heard and a little bit but try to be very brief and as it was maybe share something how we approach it from my CI first of all I would say I mean just to point out that this we're still in extreme uncertainty we're about one month into something that could be an 18-month a flow of events very unpredictable will we go back to business as usual will it be business as better or business as worse so they are thinking about this obviously we have received questions about what does this mean for climate emissions and so on I think this is wholly unsurprising and in fact uninteresting basically the world economy has just pressed pause what will happen to Kerala policy I would agree with Matias there that's it's still looking recently good I think this circumstances were and will indeed in unleashed a lot of innovation and creativity both within the negotiations how to run the meetings but also from the climate movements outside of the negotiations putting pressure I'm quite interested to see how there's a much higher level of public opinion around supporting kind of action now compared with ten years ago when we were heading into the last financial crisis if that will have an effect or if indeed also the sort of priorities and all the public will shift as a result but I think possibly we're in a better place so what we're really concerned with this area is it's like many other speakers have pointed out the survey yeah impending economic crisis how can we ensure a global recovery that is sustainable and just and resilient we have I think it's significant to point out that in the last ten years we have had this long global economic boom in Sweden it's been unprecedented long so and this is where we have made climate progress so this is also an interesting thought experiment if we had not had coverage would we still head into the economic recession and how would that affect our transaction so I think we need to we would have perhaps needed to adopt anyway I'll certain geopolitics play into this global recovery strategy I hope we will end up with the geopolitics of cooperation sort of that Nick was outlining how that could look like but will feature politics of donation or geopolitics of conflict even we have also start thinking about these third order impacts that Nick mentioned how this effect trade flows not just of medical supplies but eventually food and other essential goods how will it affect refugee camps migration flows and also if we sort of expand from our core Eurocentric perspective we have who will step in to support the global South in their recovery ten years ago this was led by the year in US China and Russia have more assertive will this lead to potentially higher carbon locking we don't know so we have started thinking both sustainable just a resilient recovery this is a mouthful and I can understand that if passed a policymaker if you're faced with a ten percent unemployment rate that these principles sound very expensive potentially so fully agree they're also good next that's the key is to sort of make sister mo recovery ingredient recovery sort of interest based and try to mainstream this into stimulus packages one minutes okay so I will then just say a couple of points I do think this pandemic is sort of in a way productive for the agenda 2030 because it forces us to be a bit more focused I think it's a very good example of sustainable development showing that you can't you can't sort of achieve environmental gains through socially and economically unsustainable race and I was quite pleased to see that UN Secretary General has connected agenda 2030 and COBIT response in his recent report this week I think you're interesting links between pandemic response and climate mitigation climate adaptation general economic recovery when we look at the relationship between urban and rural areas but maybe only does cliffhanger for the Q&A session so I will just end up saying that I think this ten percent unemployment rate if that's what we're looking at it will be a game-changer for a fair reduction of course it will compromise the fiscal muscle governments but I'm quite hopeful about this level of innovation the collective creativity that canola and I started talking about at the very start of the webinar and I do think we're in a better place to mainstream in sustainable development in these recovery packages thanks a lot thank you so much thank you thank you all sir thank you for being a little bit of hopeful at the end I would now like to turn to all of you out there it's a always a drop out when you send live but we still have over 600 people watching at us right now which is wonderful so Rob please can you perhaps look at the questions there we have received already and there may be post one or two to the panelists so we can start the Q&A session Rob are you there yes I'm here thanks very much ever and hello to everybody who is joining us on this webinar we've received a lot of questions fantastic questions show up and I think they will stimulate a really interesting debate some of the questions were directed to specific panelists and I will come to those but I want to start off with some sort of quite broad questions that I'd like to pose to all of the panelists and I'd like them to keep their answers extremely short so what I'm looking for is I sort of yes/no and a couple of sentences to justify your so I'm going to start off with a question that's come in I'm afraid I won't be able to say necessary in everybody's name and where you've come from there were almost 50 questions that I've tried to go through but I did see that there's question from Victoria coming who's from Bloomberg and she's asked and I'd like this to go to all the panelists will there be a sustained reduction in greenhouse gas emissions we've seen that there has been a reduction will it be sustained to keep those answers as short as you can with one or two sentences for justification and let's start by going in reverse order so I'm going to start with all SAP please a sustained reduction my answer is no just look at historical data yeah no but I think because the emissions will go up immediately in the next coming years I'm quite sure of that but I think the stimulus packages will make a difference if we can turn them towards a more Green Deal type of Recovery's nuclear I mentioned that 15% that went into green technologies and every in recovery in the last recovery period that the more than 10 years ago and that was of course a very little part and we saw the emissions going up of the other 85% but those 50% made a difference in boosting the renewable energy technologies that we now see are taking off so so there is some hope in that and Nick over to you the reduction won't be sustained but I think we have now achieved peak emissions compared to 2019 and that will be sustained areas of reduction that we've seen like transport and transport to stay down but others there's going to be a sharp boost I don't know how the arithmetic will work out thanks very much down interesting there to begin to break this down into different sectors and industries that might or might not be contributing to an increase there Victor do you want to take over my answer would be no as well essentially what we're not we're not seeing the change in the structures that create emission reductions at the moment so my thought would be no so there it's the the problem lies in the system the structures are not being addressed and therefore they're sort of inbuilt the motor is is built to to drive that forward ever yeah thank you well I I just shared the sentiment of the previous speakers that obviously putting society on hold and reduces emissions but as we start to sort of accelerate again we will see emissions growing but perhaps our transportation patterns may change perhaps our willingness to travel across the globe for the appetite for that will decline for a little while but I agree with others that we need to see more profound societal transformation in order to see their emissions go down sometime mattias if you're still there what's your perspective well I'd share the assessment by by by the other panelists that the current reduction will not be sustained but of course there is this opportunity connected to a new ways of you know structurally within the economy in our society to short away into meeting those or the parents agreement and the STG thanks thanks very much for those initial answers to the questions I think it it opens up a whole series of follow-up questions so I'm going to throw out a few of them here to the I mean I think that one of them would be are there examples of virtuous examples of recovery policies that allow us to stay within planetary boundaries which are the sectors that might be targeted in that case although ways of combining an increase in employment with a sustained just and resilient recovery so I throw that question out to the panel as well here can you get a little bit more digging a little bit more into specific examples we start with with Beulah well yeah I need to think for to find really good examples but we can we see several successful recovery packages in in in your portal restructuring package where we have I'm struggling to remember now I read a report on the on the on the restructuring of some cold base regions in in Europe and like in Spain maybe we can talk about about the the examples from from the UK but well it's clearly as impossible to face out the carbon intensive industries and make the regions at least the state competitive or turn to other productions to store so there are several examples which now are used as inspirations or lessons learned for the for the just transitions policies that the European Commission's now are are embarking on can I come in just a second can I a young thank you can I get just come in with a follow-up question because I saw a Rob we had one from from the audience here also about the urban societies here what is going on there and perhaps you can give us examples of that in your and some sort of international alliances or platforms please someone is asking for here and where are the lacking we are sort of lacking to connect the dots in human nature interaction but where is this and how could we work with with this to find the synergies so that was just a follow-up so please Rob but go ahead yeah I think Nick is waiting to just whew yeah the the poster child of green recovery is South Korea and they seem to be pulling it out again so hopefully they were 75% green last time so let's move that Chinese already talking about investment in new infrastructure they've got a forty trillion yuan recovery going in at the moment that's high speed rail 5g electrical vehicle charging building upgrades heating and cooling efficiency those are the areas you'll see where to put the money sectors and employment we're gonna see some scrappage schemes hopefully moving into EVs when your balls will move forward we may see lots of tree planting that's just short-term stuff but structural there will be a lot of discussion about retrofitting as a shoe social housing with energy efficiency but warning sign the US and Australia did big retrofit programs at last crisis done really badly and really shoddy workmanship and that caused a massive backlash so the critical thing we've got to look at is delivery of high-quality infrastructure is not just chucking money out the door its actual delivery of stuff that works or we will just be picking up the record problems downstream thanks very much Victor your turn thank you I mean I I think we shouldn't underestimate the importance of climate adaptation and resilience in this context it's not just about mitigation and transport systems energy system it's also what what are some clever well-designed cloud adaptation and resilience interventions that would help us prepare for next pandemic break or climate shock I think one of the most clear win-win climate adaptation investments are in the health sector having boosting health systems is a good way to deal with many many of the negative repercussions that we will see from from climate change and that's should be a focus as well thanks Victor Matias please go ahead thanks so much maybe not so good to go so much into specific sectors or sort of or employment but just wanted to come back and highlight the I mean the decision by the European Council in December on green I'm climbing the travesty by 2050 in the EU and also the recent statement by B has a certain government from Burlington last week when they talk to you obtain Commission and come up with a recovery plan which will be looking into both sort of the digital aspects and also they can very clearly the green transition so I mean it might not be that we need to be sort of looking for new kinds of solutions but rather look to e kind of their work which is all which was already long going before we entered into this present crisis so you know building on the Green Deal and just from the Swedish perspective also building on what's already in there for example with in 4th of you sort of free Sweden and expended initiatives we see in various sectors in in business on sort of making the transition to climate neutrality and of course the net merging of that work would be kind of recovery packages to see emerging as well so maybe not so much sources just looking to new solutions but building all but will be already awesome I think you also wanted to come in on this point yes I just wants to make two comments on these virtuous examples or opportunities one is I'm waiting for circular economists their community to come into this debate if we look at the unemployment numbers so far it's mainly in the retail sector restaurants hotels and so on I think there are opportunities there to sort of shift I might make a structural shift going more to a service economy less of goods so that would be really exciting to watch the space the other points and I alluded to before I think there is a really interesting kind of urban rural dimension to dependent and affection and so on I mean we know there's massive urbanization and also I think there's been certain hype around the agency of cities leading the climate transition and so on to the demise of times rural areas have you forgotten about these rural areas many problems economic social in rural areas posted and also in the south and I think it's a sort of surface now as well with a pandemic but in very different ways here in Sweden urban people are advised not to travel to their country houses in the rural areas we heard from our colleagues in my Roby that's I mean they also want to prevent this sort of people traveling from the urban to liberal buffer but of course they do it for very different reasons because they can't no longer secured a likelihoods in the urban areas I also think the urban rural is featuring in the just transition discussions in terms of our rural areas kind of missing out on this the investment in low-carbon solutions and so on and will they take a higher cost the climate transitions with higher fuel taxes for example so maybe there is a kind of win-win opportunity to here to think more about a sort of less highly urbanized society to look at the geographies of our societies post for pandemic preparedness but also to ensure that everyone is part of the crime shishun we have been robbed sorry I can finish there okay you could let me post post the the microphone the metaphorical microphone over to Dan yes thanks my take on this is that there isn't actually a problem about maintaining employment while making either a transition or a transformation because everything that we're talking about is economic activity that will can will and should be involving people and it should be involving employment therefore so I I don't actually see unemployment problem if the economy is rolling if it is moving forward if it is in recession that is a completely different matter now there is going to be a bounce back from the recession why because it always happens and the question however whatever the situation is looking like the question is what is the nature of that bounce back are we at the same time as we increase employment and at the same time let's imagine the the most wonderful possible green percentage of investment going in so we're greening the economies yes but are we also learning in a way that prepares us for future crises because however well we mitigate climate change I mean mitigate greenhouse gas emissions at the moment there is going to be impacts of climate change across the next 10 20 30 40 years and in some cases those impacts are going to be existential and in other cases anyway traumatic and catastrophic with lots of knock-on effects plus that's covered and that is a warning that there could be a future pandemic and so it's a question of doing all of this understanding that resilience is not just a product of the investment which is it's a in the economy it's a product of much else around that in culture in education in knowledge and understanding amongst basically everybody not just in the business center can I come in we have actually an interesting question coming in to both a of olive branch and Nick me Bay here on on this issue also with with behavioral change and what is what we see is actually happening now in society so what can the general public do or continue to do to help sustain and encourage others in society with a newly experienced ecological or social oriented lifestyle practices I would like first to turn to era and then to Nick so please ever okay thank you very much an interesting question for sure and and of course a question that depends on the geography hadith where you your base I mean here we speak from from Europe very much but I think from from from the everyday experience that I I have now in view of this crisis is that we re experiencing some sort of social slowdown I don't know if we the acceleration is a word but suddenly we're slowing down we're experienced lower piece of life and in in view of climate change that might actually be quite an interesting experience and there is suddenly time to to sort of enjoy our family a neighborhood but also I think recognized the importance of community social relations and and also in the in the more aggregate sort of a good welfare system a recognition of the importance of stable democratic institutions I think it's sort of it's an opportunity to reflect upon upon the importance of community and in terms of crisis and I hope will bring that with as we proceed in in our efforts to tackle other crises thank you thank you ever and and over to Nick there yeah I think this is the most kind of profound piece but it's a piece of my thinking still evolving the three things I would say is firstly I think we should all of the behavioral science marketing work the pin so much campaigning and political thinking I think it's completely bust and this is shown it to be bust because it basically the nudge unit has not been helpful in the UK which is you know some friends of mine from government actually but this is kind of the end of marginal marginal behavior adjustment and talking it much more seriously about humans response to big things so this first one that's a real opening because I hated that stuff secondly I think a lot of the behaviors will be sticky I'm Japanese work office workers will commute less there will be a reorganization of cities and in particular commuting habits and that's really good to quit how profound that will be I don't know but that's one of the areas I think is really interesting I think the most profound peace will be with the relationship between the individual and the state I think know somebody dark things there but some really positive pieces of that and about expectations of the state and state competence will rise I'm including in America but the most important statement I think which people missed internationally was Boris Johnson and often say this who said in his one of his broadcast before he was put in isolation that there this crisis are shown there is such a thing as society which was him repudiating the legacy of Margaret Thatcher who kind of said there was no such thing as society just individual families and men and women doing what they want pursuing their interests so that I think marks the end of an era from the 80s which politically which i think is very important Rob please can you can you I think we can have one more question if you can aggregate a few of them and then over to your short summary please Rob so I think I think a really important question is is the perspective of how to make issues to Carberry the kind of house make sure that recovery is inclusive and it addresses inequalities especially in the global south and if we can get as specific as trying to think about how what can be done to help countries especially emerging economies avoid sacrificing the environment for a quick path back to economic growth what are those because we've talked a lot about sort of things that might be more relevant to the global north how is this a matter of inequality and how do we address the specific challenges for the global south so if I can throw that one out perhaps first of all to to Victor well thanks I mean that's that's a difficult question I mean in the same way that we talk about green you deal I think the needs to be a green for the global South considering this and equity and and I really makes you pay solutions at the center and also a combination of redirecting capital to boost resilience and keep keeping momentum but that's really just on the top of my head now thanks Victor yes a big big question Dan can you guide us through this a little well I'm not sure how far I can guide anybody through anything on these issues at the moment I think we're all looking at a fog or you know if we're thinking about ships at stormy waters but a couple of things first of all I think that there is a very close relationship between what we've been talking about in terms of international cooperation and geopolitics with the situation situations that different countries find themselves in in the global South first of all if you look at some of the flash points during 2019 when I think some of those flash points were more serious and come closer to really major major war I'm not saying that they were making major war inevitable but they were coming closer to that point than we had experienced previously during the decade that has just ended what was different what was making things worse was the lack of international cooperation and when you look at the period from 1990 until about 2007 2008 just on the eve of the financial crisis though I'm not saying there's necessarily a connection but you have during that period of the 1990s of the noughties a huge generation of diplomatic political activity the massive numbers of peace agreements being drafted and signed massive the peace process is being set up an expansion of the global zone of peace that looked at from the perspective of the nineteen eighties seemed like it was impossible in 2008 910 the downward trend in numbers of armed conflicts bought and out and by the end of the decade of the teens we're back at the number of armed conflicts that there were in 1990 so there is a connection between international cooperation and peace there is a connection between toxic geopolitics and conflict now what we're talking about is how many issues many of them affecting what we think of in the broader security concept human security how many issues can only really be addressed if they are addressed cooperatively this is by the norms of cooperation and the laws the international laws for example a respect for treaties that support cooperation that's why they're so important thank you can we just have a short comment from Nik after this please first I just want to reiterate what danger sex I think that's incredibly important that's precisely why we need to win the geopolitics of cooperation well beyond the climate world wanna do three seas on this firstly commodities and particularly commodities associated with deforestation this is one of the areas the UK was targeting as an about to cop 26 and will still work on can we agree a set of bilateral or Weber bilateral treaties which help countries get demand for certified commodities that do not die first and that would help this process has got a new piece of governance that the UK wants to run secondly conditionality those of us who lived through the structure adjustment programs we will have conditional debt bailout what are those conditions going to be what let's make not leave the scars we left last time there's concern of the conditions will be ramping down coal power stations hopefully lots will be resilience and that's a real critical mass' issue their debt bailouts and how we do that better this time and the last one China will China play with the world or against the world a lot of the debt is Chinese will it be inside the IMF game or outside at the IMF will be inside the commodities game outside the commodities game that will determine whether this works or not thank you Nick can I have the camera that young and I would just like to okay thank you but I would just like to say that we are running out of time unfortunately and this those three C's from Nick was it was a beautiful summary in a way but I would like to turn very quickly to to rob I don't see the other percentages now if they are waving or not but we have one minute to go wrong so if you can just give us a 30-second sort of rap and then we will turn to be on all that for a thank you for or participating so please rob first yeah thanks very much I think at first I just want to recognize the fact that we've had a very active participation and a huge number of questions that we haven't managed to get to that is by no means because we didn't value them and I think there's very interesting things that have come up to do with values digitization the economic system and we haven't managed to get to those apology for that but I want to recognize the the fantastic participation we had I'm not sure I can do a better job than Nick and Dan and others have done here but certainly things that I think are particularly significant are around how to make sure that the behavioral change that we're seeing is sticky how to make sure that we are redirecting capital in a way that is consistent with 1.5 degrees the Paris agreement but also crucially the 2030 agenda and addressing issues too with inequality and that brings in the point that Nick made about conditionality of any stimulus and bail out I think it was very interesting to hear the idea that the state is now moved into an interventionist things and what does that mean for the longer term in terms of building crucially resilience as Dan said resilience is a currency that are as a value in multiple settings and multiple crises and is something we should invest in and then finally perhaps this point about cooperation being utterly central to both building resilience making sure that we are prepared for future crises but also for taking forward the necessary collaborative agenda around climate action and before I sign off I think that I just want to pressure-cook put a little bit more emphasis on the key point that Nick made around commodities related to deforestation if we don't address that then we really are undermining and making the climate action agenda far more difficult to address so this connects with what Victor was saying around the quick win of some countries wanting to essentially mind their resources in order to get to the recovery so that's a key area deforestation must be part of the recovery policy package thank you ever and over to be on Ola yes just quickly thank you so much it's been very interesting and we could go on and I hope for these conversations will continue there is lots to discuss and think about and and ponder after this thank you so much my fellow panelists and all you who participated by listening but also the many questions that we got this has been overwhelming we're extremely happy for that for the engagement but a particular thank you then to rob Eva and Ian Caldwell at a CI who managed the technologies who actually were able to do this without any major flaws I think that was fantastic thank you and can I just say key words at the end here is the camera please so this webinar has come to an end we are so grateful for all the inputs from all of you over all over the world I I I don't I can't promise too much but we will make some kind of summary we will try to address some of your questions on our website and please stay in tuned with us on mr. J politics dot org and we will see to that some recording from this webinar is out there etc so from from my perspective the most important thing I take with me is that 2020 becomes the super corporation year the super year of cooperation and I would like to thank all of you for participating today thank you all and please present to stay just a minute I would like to follow up with you one thing thank you

The HIGHEST Paying ENGINEERING Degrees!
the highest paying engineering degrees that's we're going to be talking about today but before we jump into that make sure to gently tap the like button in order to defeat the evil YouTube algorithm on this channel we talk about personal finance college degrees careers and opportunities that are going to lead you to success and we also go over some of the common Financial traps that so many people fall for now if you're new here and you haven't done it already and that sounds like something that interests you go ahead and hit the Subscribe button and ring the notification Bell so that you never miss an opportunity now with that out of the way let's jump right into it today we are going to be talking about the highest paying engineering degrees I've already made a few videos about what engineering degrees I think are the best and in those videos I talked about more than just salary we went over the job satisfaction and all kinds of other things like demand however in this video we are going to be focusing on salary there are a lot of engineering related degrees and Engineering related Majors out there that there might not be very many graduates every year but they can still be pretty good opportunities and they have a really good sound salary so with that being said let's jump in right away number 10 on the list is going to be nuclear engineering now this is going to be all about either breaking down or combining different Atomic nuclei and no this is not about creating nuclear bombs or anything like that this is all about energy production and the energy industry now with this degree you can expect to make around 73 000 a year in your first five years after graduating and then after 10 years also known as mid-career pay you're going to be making around 124 000. now of course you could become a nuclear engineer and you'd be making around 113 000 a year according to BLS there's 16 400 jobs available but it is declining at negative 13 meaning in the next 10 years 2100 jobs are going to disappear now the thing about any energy related career degree is that it's not going to be very stable it's highly volatile a war the market dropping regulations laws changing anything like that can disrupt your entire industry now from my research most nuclear engineering jobs are actually relatively chill you're not going to be worked really hard have to do super long hours or anything like that at least not usually and as a nuclear engineer you kind of hope that your job is boring let's be honest because your job generally speaking if you're working on an electrical plant is to make sure that the next Chernobyl doesn't happen now there's a lot of other jobs you could work in for instance you could be a waste management expert and get rid of different nuclear waste you could get a job working with nuclear submarines where you'd be working on Naval propulsion you could also do a lot of research and development there are a lot of job opportunities out there besides working in the energy industry specifically and depending on what career path you go down you might end up going back and getting a masters overall unless you know exactly what you're going for exactly what career you want to get into and exactly how you need to get there I would recommend not going into this one that's because of the negative job outlook and I've been asked about this one several times in the comments section I might make an entire video on it but if you want to speed things up and just watch this video overall I kind of don't recommend it I think a lot of the other engineering degrees are going to be better number nine on the list is going to be computer systems engineering now this one is basically going to be kind of a com combination of computer science engineering skills math skills of course and then a little bit of maybe I.T skills as well so information technology and it's going to be used to figure out how technology fits into the larger scheme of an organization or a business now this one you can expect to make around seventy four thousand dollars a year starting out and mid-career pay is a hundred and twenty four thousand a year there's a ton of different career paths that you could go for with this one because of the fact that you're going to be specializing in skill sets that are going to be in the technology industry there's going to be a lot of different opportunities out there one career path you could definitely go for would be a computer systems analyst they make around ninety thousand dollars a year there's 632 000 jobs available it's growing at seven percent which is faster than average and that means over the next 10 years there's going to be 46 000 new jobs available you could also become a computer hardware engineer where they make around 117 000 a year there's 71 000 jobs available so quite a bit less it's growing at two percent which is slow more than average and that means over the next 10 years there's going to be about 1100 jobs that pop up now I know with these technology degrees it can be very confusing because all of them almost sound like the same thing so I like to compare them so that you can get an idea of what you would be doing with one over the other so if you were to get a computer science degree for instance you'd probably go into more information technology related jobs or software development software engineering related jobs whereas computer systems Engineers are going to be working with maybe some low-level software engineering software development like some low-level programming but for the most part they're going to be working with Hardware so with computer science you might go work at Google or Facebook and become a software engineer whereas with computer information systems you might work at Intel and design the next processor overall this is a relatively rare Majors there's not that many graduates that you can find all over the country on top of that you could probably get into these same exact jobs do the same exact careers by getting a computer engineering degree and you'd have access to a lot of others as well so this can be a really good one to get into if you know exactly what you're going for but overall you'd probably just want to go for computer engineering instead number eight on the list is going to be Marine engineering so this is going to be engineering that's all about anything in the ocean so boats ships oil rigs Etc with this degree you can expect to make around seventy four thousand dollars a year in your first five years and 125 000 in mid-career pay one career you could go into is becoming a Marine engineer or a naval architect they make around ninety two thousand dollars a year there's eleven thousand eight hundred jobs available it is growing pretty slowly at about one percent so there's only going to be about 200 jobs that open up in the next 10 years now at this degree there's basically two different types of marine engineers and there's two different areas that you could go which are going to be completely different so you could be a marine engineer that is actually on the ship itself and you're kind of like almost like the ship's mechanic but you have a little bit more knowledge than your average mechanic so it's going to be a very Hands-On type of career where you know about the ship you know everything about the ship and all the mechanical workings within it but you can also work on it if need be if you're a fan of sci-fi you can think about it like this whenever you're watching a sci-fi movie they always have an engineer on board the ship now this engineer ends up working on the ship in just about every single season that you see even though they're an engineer they're not a mechanic they still end up working on the ship itself this is kind of the same thing you're going to be spending long periods of time away from your family in the middle of the ocean floating on a ship so this might be great if you're single and you don't have to worry about taking care of a family or anything like that however as you're getting older you want to have a family this is going to be a real drain on your work-life balance but it will probably pay you extremely well especially if you're good another type of common Marine engineering is more of a desk job where you're going to be focusing on maintaining and upgrading ships within a fleet this one probably won't pay quite as well but you're going to have better work-life balance overall the big problem with Marine engineering is a very common problem when it comes to different engineering related majors and that is that it's a little bit too specialized so if you get a mechanical engineering degree for instance you could potentially become a Marine engineer but if you become a Marine engineer it's going to be a little bit harder for you to become a mechanical engineer engineering degrees in general are pretty good so you don't have to get that specific in order to find a job so getting too specific with an engineering related degree can actually be a bad thing sometimes number seven on the list is going to be Aeronautical Engineering so this one is actually going to be the degree that my dad got so shout out to Dad if you're watching this and basically Aeronautical Engineering is a subset of aerospace engineering Aerospace is going to be aeronautical as well as astronautical and that's basically aeronautical is going to be things that fly within the confounds of the earth whereas astronautical is going to be things that are flying outside of the earth outside of the atmosphere Now with an Aeronautical Engineering degree you can expect to make around 71 one thousand dollars a year starting out and a hundred and twenty five thousand a year in mid-career pay for all intents and purposes aeronautical and aerospace engineering degrees are pretty much combined at this point so you could become an aerospace engineer and they make around a hundred and sixteen thousand dollars a year there's sixty six thousand jobs available and it's growing at three percent which is as fast as average meaning over the next 10 years they expect around 1900 jobs to pop up so Pros to this one is that if you're somebody who really likes airplanes Jets helicopters spaceships Rockets Etc that's pretty freaking awesome I mean if you like that this is going to be a awesome job for you if you work as a government contractor there's probably going to be a really good job security that'll be one of the most common jobs that you're going to see overall if you love Aviation Aerospace all that sort of thing if you're one of those people who's obsessed with airplanes like my dad this is going to be a great option for you next one on the list is going to be chemical engineering so this one is going to be focused on producing designing extracting all kinds of different materials liquid solids as well as gases in some cases so with this degree you can expect to make around seventy three thousand dollars a year in your first five years and 128 000 in mid-career Pay according to BLS chemical engineers make around a hundred and eight thousand dollars a year there's 32 000 jobs available and it's growing at four percent which is about as fast as average meaning over the next 10 years there's going to be 1400 more jobs popping up now chemical engineering overall is one of the more flexible degrees on this list meaning there's a lot of different Pathways that you can go down for instance you could become a petroleum engineer which is something we'll be talking about very soon there's a lot of money in the natural gas industry you could get into process engineering which is all about making sure that a particular process that is being done on a mass scale is safe itself regulates and all that sort of thing making sure there isn't a bunch of extra reactions going on when you mix two chemical compounds together that you don't want could also go into nanotech which focuses mostly on solar cells batteries and semiconductors you could also go into biology which is basically where you're going to be doing a lot of the same work as somebody with a biology degree but you're going to have more of a focus on solving problems whereas biology degrees have more of a focus on figuring out how things work so it's a little bit more practical a little bit more applicable to the real world and so therefore companies are much more likely to hire you overall this is a pretty good one it's not as flexible as some of the other degrees that I've mentioned in some of my other videos like mechanical engineering for instance however it is relatively flexible it's pretty good overall I would recommend going into this one if you're someone who's really interested in chemistry and you don't want to get like a chemistry degree or a biology degree number five on the list is going to be electrical power engineering now this one is going to be kind of like electrical engineering but it's going to focus much more on electrical systems so this one is a little bit more Hands-On when it comes to electronics whereas an electrical engineering degree would be a little bit more theoretical and on the design side of things now at this degree you would expect to make around seventy three thousand dollars a year starting out and 130 000 in mid-career pay one career path you could go down is becoming an electrical or electronics engineer and they make around a hundred and one thousand a year there's 328 000 jobs available it's growing at three percent which is as fast as average meaning there's going to be about 10 000 jobs that pop up in the next 10 years now again there's a lot of different directions you could go with this but generally speaking a lot of people who graduate with this degree are going to end up kind of becoming very Hands-On they're going to be working in the field so it's almost like they are a technician or a mechanic or kind of a trades person that also has that higher level engineering knowledge so if you're somebody who really likes working with your hands this might be a good one to look into but overall I think you could do the same exact jobs with just an electrical engineering degree so I would probably go with that one just to be safe because it's more flexible number four on the list is going to be systems engineering now systems engineering is basically kind of a combination of engineering skills with some business skills and management as well now that that is a really really good combination you're going to be focusing on designing maintaining and integrating complex systems throughout their life cycle so with a systems engineering degree you would expect to make around 74 000 a year in your first five years after graduating and 132 000 in mid-career Pay there's a ton of different career paths you could go down one that you could end up doing is an Industrial Engineer they make around 88 000 a year there's 295 000 jobs available it's growing at 10 percent which is much faster than average meaning there's going to be 30 000 new jobs in the next 10 years which is excellent so the way to explain this one is imagine you work at Tesla and Elon Musk just gets this wild idea in his head he's going to design a car that can fly over traffic because he's really tired of all the LA traffic so to design this car they're going to have several different teams of Engineers that are working on each individual part so for instance the engine and all that sort of thing is probably going to have a bunch of mechanical engineers the hardware within the car is probably going to have a bunch of computer engineers and electrical engineers and then the software side of things the interface on the screen for instance that you're going to be touching in order to activate helicopter mode is going to be designed by software Engineers as a systems engineer you would basically kind of be overlooking all of these different teams and you would possibly be in a management position where you make sure that all of the different teams work together so you're going to kind of be like a jack of all trades where you have a pretty good idea of what everybody's doing but most importantly you're bringing them all together and making sure they're working together to create the best possible final product number three on the list is going to be chemical engineering mixed with materials science engineering now we already talked about what chemical Engineers do but Material Science is going to be focused on solid products solid materials they're also going to have a little bit more of a science type Focus meaning you know white lab coat in the lab sort of thing whereas chemical Engineers probably wouldn't be as science focused so with this combination you're going to be making around seventy four thousand dollars year starting out and mid-career pay is going to be a hundred and thirty seven thousand materials engineers make around ninety three thousand dollars a year there's twenty seven thousand jobs available and it's growing at two percent which is pretty slow meaning there's only going to be about 400 jobs that pop up in the next 10 years now there's a ton of different directions that you could go with this skill set it is relatively flexible you could go into Metallurgy you could become a process engineer you could become an Industrial Engineer you could even go into becoming a research scientist now one thing that I think is really interesting is quantum Computing and how semiconductors are basically making that possible a really good YouTuber Jake Tran did an entire video on Quantum Computing and I thought it was really awesome and all of that was made possible by semiconductors that were probably created by a chemical engineer or a material science engineer number two on the list is going to be electrical engineering and you guessed it combination with computer science I knew it so electrical engineering is going to be all about any sort of electrical circuit electrical system anything that has to do with electronics computer science is going to be more about the actual study of computers and computation as well as having a focus on math and algorithms now you can see why this would make an incredible combination because you basically have kind of the software side of things with someone who can also work on the hardware side of things the electrical side now this combination you can expect to make around a hundred and one thousand dollars a year starting out and 152 000 in mid-career pay now you'd pretty much have to be a genius in order to get both of these degrees at the same time especially if you did it in four years that would be insane but there's a ton of different career paths you could go down with this the sky is the limit you could basically get just about any job that you want to get in the tech industry and the tech industry is one of the best Industries out there it has the most opportunity one career path you could go down is becoming an Electronics or electrical engineer they make around a hundred and one thousand dollars a year there's 328 000 jobs available and it's growing at three percent which is as fast as average search that means over the next 10 years there's going to be around 10 800 new jobs available now remember what I was talking about earlier with the systems engineer where you kind of have this problem where the hardware people and the software people don't really understand each other and so you have to make sure that they're on the same page well that probably wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem if you had this combination because you truly would understand both sides and so that makes this degree totally invaluable if you're somebody who really gets the hardware side as well as the software side companies are gonna just love you an example of a company that would love you would be apple and you would be someone who would help them to design their overpriced new phones number one on the list is going to be petroleum engineering and you probably guessed it this one is the highest paying engineering degree actually it's the highest paying degree period now with this one you're going to be working in the natural gas industry probably helping to extract and refine oil now at this degree you're going to start off making around ninety two thousand dollars a year and mid-career pay is an insane 182 000 on average petroleum Engineers according to BLS can expect to make around 137 000 a year there's 33 000 jobs available it's growing at three percent which is about average but kind of on the low side of average and that means over the next 10 years there's going to be 1 100 jobs available now with this one you do have to be extremely careful like I mentioned before it is part of the energy industry which is extremely volatile nobody knows for sure what's going to happen with this industry a lot of people think it's going to be disappearing in the next five or ten years I've done a lot of research on this industry and I'm not saying whether it's a good thing or a bad thing I'm not trying to start that conversation all I'm saying is it's probably not going to go away in the next five to ten years in fact it'll probably be here for our entire lifetimes there's a lot of great efforts being made in solar and you know trying to design electrical cars with their batteries and all that sort of thing and that's awesome but we're still a very long way away from getting away from gas powered cars but like I said it's very volatile a war Could Happen policies change presidential elections can change things Senators can change things all kinds of different regulations can happen and these could absolutely destroy the industry in 2014 for instance there was a huge price crash and a bunch of people ended up getting fired or laid off there were petroleum engineers and they worked in the energy industry in general now things did end up recovering after that so that was kind of the good news but it did happen and a lot of people lost their jobs another thing that's affecting this is a lot of the Baby Boomers that have been working in the petroleum industry for decades are going to be retiring soon and that is going to open up quite a few new jobs here nobody really knows what's going to happen though I'm just here to kind of tell you guys what I've read with my research now one thing that I mentioned here about a lot of these degrees is many of them don't have that many graduates every year a few of them that I mentioned have less than 500 graduates for instance which means the survey data which we rely on and order to figure out what these numbers are is probably quite a bit off some of these degrees have less than 500 in some cases even less than 100 graduates every year and so we largely rely on survey and census data for these numbers and that's probably off just because of the fact that you don't have a big enough sample size so take some of these numbers with a grain of salt and realize that if there aren't that many people graduating with a degree every year that is generally speaking not a good sign however I have been working extremely hard on a project over the last few months where I basically rank all of the different degrees and I've collected data from what I believe are the best sources all across the internet to rank these degrees on the most important factors so I created version 1.1 of the college degree Rancor which takes into account what I think are the two most important things which are demand and salary on later versions I will include all kinds of different metrics like flexibility and all that sort of thing but right now I decided to just create an object active ranking of the basically the job growth how much opportunity there is within some kind of job or some kind of degree as well as the salary I actually hired somebody on to help me with this project because it was so much work and I created a patreon down below that you can access I'm also working on some other projects there where I reveal my investment portfolios and all kinds of other stuff that you guys asked me about quite a bit unfortunately there's only so much I can do on YouTube as a platform just because of the fact that YouTube is good for a certain type of content but there's other types of content that it's not so good for now if you haven't done it already go ahead and gently tap the like button hit the Subscribe button ring the notification Bell and comment down below any thoughts comments criticisms Etc that you have on the video and before you leave check out my other videos right here I made them just for you foreign

Trump Making Pot Great again! | Fox News
four states will be deciding on marijuana initiatives later on today actually Michigan North Dakota Missouri and Utah our next guest says president Trump will eventually take this issue from the Democrats Adrienne 7 is with us he's the CEO and founder of canned essence the leading marijuana brand in California all right Adrienne you think president Trump wants to legalize recreational marijuana and he's going to move towards that in the next two years what's your evidence for making that suggestion well I would definitely say that heading into the 2020 election cycle that President Trump will look to make a push for medical marijuana as part of his platform simply the polling if you look at the president who is a shrewd politician irrespective of what you think of his personal politics he is very shrewd and if you look at the polling 90% of Americans are in favor of medical use of marijuana 60% are in favor of adult use and you look at every major swing state whether it's Michigan Ohio Florida Pennsylvania New Mexico the list goes on they already all have some form of marijuana policy what you're talking about here is reclassifying marijuana from a class one drug along with heroin and cocaine and they're getting into a class to drug so that banks could finance the marijuana industry if the president did that it will be very good news for your business wouldn't it yes some form of rescheduling generally speaking would be very positive for the industry but we don't even have to have rescheduling because right now for example there's pending legislation the the safe Banking Act the small business tax ex equity act in the States Act are all somewhere and meandering through Congress and with this election cycle we may well see some of those come through and be voted on prior to 2020 of whether the Democrats or the Republicans take this election now you think that the president will move so this could be a bad thing for crypto and the reason I would say that is that you know banking and dealing with banks has have been a huge issue for the marijuana and some other industries and if it does become legalized where you can go get normal banking options through the banks it might make crypto as a less attractive asset class to store your assets but personally I'm okay with it because I do know that our government is a massive amount of debt and it has to pay it off some way and if they're not gonna cut spending they might as well cut out the black market and tax it and Trump's the smart guys so I think he's gonna take advantage of it even though he did appoint you know the most anti marijuana district attorney the guy that looks like the Keebler Elf Jeff Sessions but let me know what you guys think about this and I will talk to you soon

'Traitor' by The World Over | Guitar Playthrough
Hale spec guitar my name is Ryan from a band called the world over and today I'll be showing you the first song of our second EP called traitor this is one of my most favourite songs to play live it has lots of cool fun riffs and some fancy expensive chords in it I'll do a run-through and then I'll break it down section by section so without further ado let's get started [Music] [Applause] [Music] alright so the verse riff is basically a minor 7 arpeggio to the relative major 7 arpeggio if you're having trouble finding where to come in you can just cheat like we do and you click so anyways we have this minor 7 arpeggio then it goes to the major 7 so while the fingering of this riff isn't too bad the thing that makes it tricky is the rhythm so the first time you land on the 7 it's an eighth note and then the second time mmm it's a dotted eighth note it's a little bit slower the second time around so make sure you're conscious of that when you're playing and just look out for the downbeat so it's just 1 3 the ending is kind of tricky too because it's on all of the it's on all the ease and odds the off 16th notes so what I'd recommend when you're playing it faster maybe try to get them all on the upstroke help you stay in time a little bit better and also I like to hammer on the first note because just makes it a little bit easier so just slap the pinky on there so in time and in full that riff is I I usually like to have to lay on for a 2 1 2 3 4 [Music] yep so the pre-chorus riff which is the main riff throughout the entire song builds on that verse riff and adds distortion going into it live I like to do like chugging build up kind of thing like oh [Music] it's all sixteenth notes and yeah it's just like a build up so that riff has a similar rhythm but it stays consistent to that half of a poppy rhythm that you hear so much the content with a couple extra sixteenth notes so slowly that's [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and the bend is optional let's do when I feel like it again that starts with the hammer on [Music] and then pick the rest of the notes and then same with the fill at the end of it [Music] [Applause] and in time that gives us too [Music] [Applause] [Music] sometimes I like to do different fills on that just a mess around something's very open you have a lot of gives you a lot of freedom to kind of you know experiment and do whatever you want but sometimes they like to come up like an octave higher on the fill it's not on the recording but it's fun so try it so then that cord at the end of the pre-chorus is just [Music] [Applause] and then that brings us right to the chorus the chorus has a few no D chords in it that aren't just power chords they have extensions and whatnot so for the song total wise I like to use less distortion I'll usually have the gain at like maybe 50 to 60% and then it allows the notes to be more clear while still being kind of punchy so first chord is 5th fret with a 9 and 5 on top 2nd chord so it's 8 9 [Music] you kind of have this major 7 with the third chord it just goes to the open court and it's minor 7 with 7 on top and it's important to get that because I comes down to the major six which makes it a little bit more spicy gives us more color then it comes back up here to the relative major this thing about the chords is all the chords are pushed except on the repeats and when it goes back to the main riff so in time we'll have [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so the rip for the second verse is very similar to the main riff for this riff I like to bring down the volume knob so it sounds a little bit tighter and again you have this hybrid of hammer ons and picking every note so it's like pick pull-off pick pick pull-off pick so slowly that will sound like this so just like in the main riff I like to throw and fill sometimes usually stuff that's kind of in the same vein of what the riff is doing originally and so something kind of like or you know just little things like that again make it your own this song gives you a lot of freedom to experiment with different riffs and licks and you know things like that it's pretty open I find so at the end of this riff I like to do with some a similar thing to the ending of the first verse where you you do that sort of chug build-up thing but this time the volume knob is down so the way that I do it live is the volume will still be down and it'll start to build up and as I'm doing the build up I'll bring up the volume and it gives you an even Raj here kind of swell or more dynamics well rather so that sounds something like this [Music] so in time that'll sound something like this [Music] so that just leaves us with the bridge riff it's one of the easier parts and the song is just right up here the seventh which is on the tenth fret going between that and the open string that's the first part of it and then there's a two different endings first one is a sixth chord it comes up the second one is this raunchy chord which I'll get to in a minute so in full we have [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you get the idea so back to this raunchy chord right here it's basically a really difficult way of playing an E flat major seven sharp 11 chord so you have your roots [Music] tritone the shark for right over 11 I guess this gate shirt form I don't know so you have the route the shark or goodbye [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] at the end of that riff live I know it's not in the recording but I usually like to do one of these one of these raunchy sounding harmonics and I'm we get that is I'll bring it over to this camera over here you want to strum I'll make sure you're not muting any strings anyone strum above the nut or past the nut and then you just let her rip and then like for a little tremolo on to give it a little bit more flash and that about does it for this song shouldn't beat you hard to figure out the form it's a typical song structure once again I'm Ryan from the world over thank you so much for watching and thanks to ultimate guitar for giving me the opportunity to show the song to anybody who wants to learn it be sure to catch us playing the son live on tour with otep dates will be in the description and also keep an eye out for our new single thanks again [Music]

TEACHING MY SISTER HOW TO PLAY DRAGONBALL! | Dragonball FighterZ Ranked Matches
hold the button Oh No yeah oh it's rocky how's it going everybody to do a here with a very different video for you all today as most of you know if you've watched this channel I play a lot of this game dragon ball fighters it's a fighting game one of my favorites of all time and I've actually gotten all the way up to this rank which took a really disgusting amount of time and it's actually been so long that I've forgotten what it's like to be a total beginner to this game because of that I thought it'd be a lot of fun if I brought in somebody that's never played the game before that being my sister yeah I really don't think that's gonna go it's gonna be fine relax alright so now that we're loaded in before you can play Dragon Ball you got to know at least a little bit about the lore and the characters so I have this image pulled up on my phone here and we're gonna go ahead and see how many characters you can name all right so so who's that Goku no the same outfit is that I don't know skip who's that is that that wait wait is that the female version of that kind of are they together no that doesn't make any sense all right who's that I almost said mega mine but I know that's from a movie not Megamind skip you watch that saga this one you know that one that's Frieza yes yeah who's that that's Goku I know him is that Goku as well yes okay are they all go ku in that whole line is that also Goku correct okay all right who's this piccolo this I've never seen him before in my life that [ __ ] mute this is that gohan let's go home okay all right final question bonus round worth all the points is that an Android number good well I don't want to say but go ahead and guess his number Android 72 that's for you samasya he's not an Android all right now that we have all that down you can go ahead and pick your Lobby character in the customize menu go ahead choose any character you like any color I go ahead and pick your favorite this controller disgust what is this boss controller well get the controller try all babies what you this is a baby version there chibis I think is this the mega mine baby yeah the captain ginyu I'm gonna play him you didn't choose him he backed he backed out that's the aim but this is not a good sign dammit I saw an episode where he died yeah I'm gonna be him okay alright now that you've chosen your character for the lobby this really doesn't affect all too much it you said hello alright now this is where things get really interesting I fight now no you fight you you fight later alright first we got to choose our controller juice looks like he was trying to fight me already does have his dukes up now that we've made it to local battle you got to make your controller choice before you can actually play the game fighting games have a lot of different controllers you can use the controller we're using right now is called the hoary fighting commander it's almost a mix between our two other choices that being a fight stick that is right here or just a normal ps4 pad which is also right here possibly the ugliest controller I've ever seen in my life okay so I don't think this one's gonna get picked but we still have the choice of a stick or a normal controller which one do you want to use ps4 okay we'll just stick with the normal path it's probably the best choice for you alright so now that we got the controller hooked up let's go to player 1 a player to this is the most influential decision you will ever make in all the fighting games here you have to choose your main team what are you looking at yeah the ps4 controller lights up ok good alright alright here we go every character in the game available to you all of the DLC what I pick first you don't think you have to pick all three all three characters okay you don't think mmm I think this guy looks strong this guy also looks wrong okay you basically just chosen a Wi-Fi bar of buff dudes and the states choice really doesn't matter so I'll just go ahead and pick right here why are you laughing I don't know I don't know it could be gonna be a lot of reasons all right so like I said quick run-through here let's just play to the best of our abilities try to experiment with the controls if you can and I'll just try to play my offense but try to play my game no wait I'm genuinely concerned why did you start laughing before the game even started I to be honest I have no clue all right let's play don't even move are you kidding me right what are you we're doing a run-through this is just basic training how am I supposed to treat you when I can't move have I even touched you you did oh I know I touch you there you just kill me yeah I did yeah we have to watch this cool cuts name though yes you did that was your Cyberman all right well I mean that was a dramatic finish very rare very rare sight to behold alright now we can go ahead and actually teach you how to play was that sarcasm so I don't know if you knew this but captain ginyu is one of the most technical characters in the whole game yeah pretty much that's why it's it thank you alright so let's the other controller here you got your punch button that's good if you just do a lot of these you'll get an auto combo that's just a guaranteed combo gets you one Dragon Ball you don't have to focus on this or a Dragon Ball do you get all seven and you have seven bars you'll summon seven bars or seven balls seven bars and seven balls you'll summon Shenron another thinking you can do that's unique to him is if he clicks the special button he can summon unique members of the ginyu force wait I have several green people no you have one gold oh and then you have one Jace one burdur and one raccoon and it's cycles through that so it goes gold Oh raccoon murder Jace now just because you have all four of those doesn't mean that's all they do you can also to combo that with a quarter-circle forward Gold though that's a different goal though quarter-circle foe of the [ __ ] that's a different hmm quarter circle for Jay okay wait what slow down quarter circle what quarter quarter circle forward quarter-circle forward yes that's that's a fireball Martian okay you're saying it like it's a different language you do that sort of circle birds they're a bit of you do quarter circle for Jase you get his best move in the game well you get good news best move which is the purple comet attack I'm about to kill kill Krillin ya know so one more time that's gold though that's murder and you got your Berta this is the one of the one of his best moves make sure you're doing this one a lot of pressure there boom then you got his purple comet attack best attack of la Siena chase them down start up a combo easy easy so that's got to getting you a lot of technical stuff they're a very interesting choice for you to pick up as your first character Napa is also one of the most technical characters you can pick very hard to use a lot of his great combos involve using his Cybermen planting them and then they'll go out and they'll fight for you okay this seems very confusing I feel like I've only retained one thing you can play up to two Cybermen the Cybermen each have unique attack patterns whether using light medium one of them blows up and then you can use the heavy Cybermen did my Cybermen just suck on your face yeah mini blew up this is a very building block of all fighting games you got to be able to do specials it's a quarter-circle forward light you'll get this little slap try that quarter circle light quarter-circle forward light quarter-circle forward quarter-circle forward quarter circle you go down and around up to the side light well you did it with heavy that time but that was light as this oh there you go do it again there you go boom you got you got COO and that actually takes people a lot of time usually the game's over oh and this is the wind pose this is something you're not gonna see what does that mean this is not the most technical character all right let's show you how to play Broly he looks great he is pretty straightforward Roley punches people where are you running people everybody's training to get better like you are Oh LuAnn I controlling your play your team Freeza and the gang are who you're facing well yeah but after watching you use them all I don't like omitting work easier you want something easier yeah yeah how's that for easy we got you set up with a lot of characters that are at a base level pretty easy to use Vegeta Bardock I'm vegeto all pretty much you just use lights you'll get rewarded Vegeta I set you up with all good assists here and especially vegeto this is gonna be your main bread and butter character just use these lights there you go that's a move so we're talking square triangle square triangle hey that's what you want it to be yeah I bet you throw some quarter circle forwards in there as well nope have a try a super move okay quarter circle far do you remember the two buttons hold on no vertical forward square and triangle together try girl no am I still clicking square triangle yes you're still clicking square triangle I think I'm quitting all four at one times you are you almost got it you were technically doing it just very slow okay there you go I did it yeah am I gonna kill her no you're gonna do a lot of damage though okay good that's step 30 let's go to step one hundred what yeah well let's go to step one trip I feel like that is too big of a jump there we go wait wait where do you come from that's means one of his assists where did Toby come from Wow I'm sorry [Applause] yeah yeah what are you doing are you kidding me you're embarrassing me I'm going to Italy you literally changed the number from 3,200 and now the sudden

How to find the correct journals | How to publish a Research Paper in UGC-CARE List Journals
[Music] hi everyone this video especially for research scholars and nowadays we have thousands of not thousands more than thousand uh graduated journals or cloned generals we are struggling as a research scholars are struggling to get the proper and then the good journals because a lot of people are publishing easily but it is not coming under the ugc cad so this video will help you a lot here i'm going to explain you how to publish a paper without abbreviated or cloned journal okay this is uh this is going to be very very helpful for you so first of all what we have to do it first i am telling what should not be done we should not search ugc catalyst or whatever okay whatever please do not search it from the google don't trust google immediately first the google it simply you know mining free from a lot of websites and then it displaces right that's the thing but actually whether it is really it is coming under the ugcc or not that we have to check it from the official website not from the google search let me clarify that not from the google search it should be from the official ugc cad okay so let us check that first for that what we have to do is there actually we have a website is called ugc care okay ugc cad this one pune web search right i have done it already you can type it here or if you want to go there you can search it here itself ugc ugc care okay just like ugc care and do not open anything else don't go and you even ugc you just go to here ugc cad dot uni pony dot im this is the official website to check with that to ensure that or assure that the utc catalyst of applications publications okay so we have to go to here and we have to register every individual can register some of the cloned websites simply they are registering and they are showing that showing that they can able to log in into the dtc cache so that the particular journal is accepted by the ugc it's not at all okay so now i'm going to clarify that what how actually we can publish a paper without any predator clone journal okay that's most important i'm going to tell you now what to do first we have to come here this website the official website of ugc cad dot uni pune dot ac dot in then if it comes like this it goes to logging even if you can search it you just catalyst you can search with iss number or the publisher you know whenever i am clicking it it comes to to login suppose if you don't have any login user id and password no problem every individual can have a account by registering here okay so every user can have a registering here just click register here so look at here it's very simple form once you submitted the account will be created okay so very simple so i have created already so i'm going to login now so my this is my mail id and my this is my password it's which is saved already with my laptop so i just click that um i'm not a robot then i click login so once you've logged in okay once you're logged in we can you can go for the list of clone journals if you want this is for already published paper whether it is cloned journal or not that you can check it but now i'm going to tell you how to publish a paper okay without any problem so for that what we need to do is there are two lists ugc catalyst 1 and ugc catalyst 2. so ugc catalyst 1 the database is available with the ugc cad itself but the ugc catalyst 2 it is automatically it is globally recognized from like web of science and scopus only especially web of sentence corpus those two publications are clearly coming under the category 2 that is group 2 of group 2 of ugc list group 2. so ugc list group one how we're going to do it for that you can go to here directly with the search or something like that uh i'm gonna click here now ugc catalyst group of one okay so if you click here it comes like this you can go to search here now you can see here uh ug scan list group one journals found qualified through ugc cad protocols so the another group that is list group two general in globally recognized databases those those are the web of science and scopus so that is also i'll tell you how to find a proper journal official journal okay so first i'm going to the search this one the group of one ugc catalyst group one i just click search the ugc cad 2 it's coming look at here the web of science scopus and mla okay so most of us used to focus on the web of science or the scopus please don't search from google so do not go directly to the google you just come to the ugc care then you click the search then the search will be coming like this look at here we have the ugc catalyst one in group one we have for the sciences only 275 and in social science we have 313 and arts and humanities is 371 and multi-disciplinary we have 50 and indian languages we have 305 but still do do not trust every all the journals are up to date in the catalyst so for that you can click this science 275 since my um my branch of study is sciences so i'm clicking the sciences you can see here the list of journals will be displayed look at here there is a slow walk university of agriculture in nitra so index in scopus so this index in scopus then we can go with iss number or the publisher name with the scopus we can ensure that so if you can see here the view and if it is index the scopus index it shows that index in scopus if it is in the ugc catalyst 1 this will be vm if it is not then the remarks will be there that is discontinued from 2020 look at here one year's gone one and a half years has gone out mostly now uh 2020 discontinued from 2020 this one the faculty of graphic arts so like this we have to search and you can see that see look at here adbu journal of engineering and technology or some don bosco university that is okay then what do you have to do here so wherever we got the view here view okay first of all view just click any view button if you got a view only you have to choose it you have to choose it for me suppose if you want to publish adbu journal of engineering and technology then i have to go to view here you have to choose your journals from ugc catalyst this is what my point then here the general title in english language it shows here clearly then you can click it here okay this is a link the proper link if you can click it or you can press right click and open in your open link in new tab okay this is going to be that official website for the particular journal what we got it from the ugc cad because most of the website it looks similar it looks similar if you simply search from the google definitely that might be a predated or cloned journal so instead of searching from google you go to directly ugc catalyst and search um your match which you see look at here this is the official website for adbu journal of engineering technology here you can search it whether it is publications is available whether the person can whether it is available to submit paper whether they are accepting paper all the time so whatever it is you can go through like this like this you have to choose and publish your paper better okay so one more thing suppose i just want to ensure that you can go back if you want to see the list here we have a lot of list then i'm going to the next page and then you match with your word subject if you are doing in that agricultural science then you can go to here see it is an index in scopus and ensure that it is not discontinued from any data any year or any month from the ugc catalyst so the best way of doing in the category one you can go to the view button and get the official official website then you submit your paper a1 i mean or element okay i mean journal of medical sciences and it is the one of the uh medical related research article you can you can do this this is the official website for any journal so this is a way of getting the official website to publish do not search with google okay don't google it whether uh see look here anywhere if you see any ugc uh symbol no there is no ugg symbol but it's an indian indian journal but maybe that uh some of them having that cloned site and they will display the ugc care ugc like that then we will be in in trouble later so ensure that it is there you are going through the right channel okay so just come over here and check it like this and i'm moving to the next page and if it is for the ancient science life chemistry you know there are a lot of journals are available if it is discontinued do not go for with that then i can move forward you know we can search search for the mathematics are there environmental sciences there water science is there and also you can choose your area okay water according to your research area if you look at here the big data in society is there sage publication that's wonderful replication it is in scopus and websites too this is wonderful one that like this even if you want to go these kind of applications you have to ensure with iss number from here okay for example uh they are saying it uh sage publications right so this is an isbn number how to find out the official website for the publishers or the publications okay look at here this is another one uh the index is coppers here also index is corpus and the sage publications are indexed in scopus so these are the scopus index of applications what we have to do it for that we have to go to scopus directly scopus you can search like this and go to that scopus.com this is the official obviously whenever we search please take a look at the website okay the website address clearly okay just click with scopus and the scopus site will be open then what we have to do is click the sources once you got this then you can select if it is a iss number and come over here in the uh in the search details where we have got it okay allah mean is not our limit okay here this one uh the sage publications here i'm just copying this just copy this and go to the scopus and paste over here and find the sources the result is one one result we got it that's the same thing big data and society open access so like this we have to go then what you're supposed to do this is actually the scopus where we can ensure that yes of course the big data society always open access it is in this corpus do not search the same thing again instead do not search the same big data and society from the google no don't do that that's wrong so what we have to do it here we have to click the result over here view the details for this source we have to click on this then we will get the source page from here see that uh even if you don't have then we can go for somewhere else if you don't have the source home page here please do not trust even if it is not here okay then this is look at here source home page whatever you are searching the journals journal searching we should not be done with the google we have to do with the official site that should be from the ugc cad or the scopus or web web sites the same way so you can click the source home page right click and open a new tab so now uh like this if you do definitely you won't get any predicted or cloned journal because we are moving with a proper channel okay the proper way of finding out then you can submit paper at any time because the day the button is available you can submit at any time then you can go for any other things if you can browse or search or anything else you can do this so try to find out the official website for all journals from the true channel okay so the same way as he told you that the same thing which is which which is available see look at here so the one more thing i forgot to say that big data in society this journal is there from 2014 to present you ensure that the scopus link also till it's present because this is already it is in the uga1 we have to ensure that all or whatever the journal is scopus journal okay scopus index journal we have to ensure that whether it is still it isn't present then we have to with uh we have to go for the source home page this is one of the way so another way we can move to directly with the web of signs the web of signs you can you can know that the master journalist right uh web bob signs so how do we check whether it is web of signs or not for that here you don't need to go here this one you can go there also web of signs and you can go also but look at here level of science and overview signs that science like also it's okay here this one level of science master journalist okay mglclarivate.com you can use this this is the official website to search or find out whether the particular journal is indexed with a web of science okay so now uh once again i'm going back to the same uh the same it is also they said that it's also in web of science i'm copying the same iss number i just simply paste the tick and uh you can paste it that m j l which means master generalist gladiate dot com then i just simply paste and search journals and yes of course i'm getting that found one result page you can see here also the view profile page okay like this we have to go so this is how you have to find out your your journal so only thing is we people are simply trusting the google please do not trust google i'm not asking you to search you can search you can get it a lot of journals but actually there is a proper way of reaching the right journal so we people simply searching in the google that will give you some other website as some other cloned predator website that should not be the official level so we have to find it out official journal web page then you submit your paper all the best everyone good luck okay so like this we have to do it so everyone can have uh the station here everyone can register and they can check it out okay good luck thank you all i hope this will help you a lot guys for publishing your paper in the right manner thank you all bye

🎉 NEW DIY GLUE HACK!! 🎉 The BEST detail adhesive for your paper crafting!
hi everyone i just wanted to share with you today a quick tip while i'm crafting and getting ready for some uh really exciting videos coming up over on craftworld today um i needed to glue down a really small detailed die cut this is you know this is quite bold actually but i've got much smaller ones as well that i need to adhere sometimes and sometimes the nozzle on any glue is just too wide and it gets everywhere so i decided to remake a concept that i made quite a few years ago and i used it lots and lots and when i finally used it all up i never remade it and i'm going to do it now so i thought i'd film while i'm doing it just so you can see how i apply glue to small die cuts like this without getting lots of mess so what you need to make sure that this is going to last is an airtight container and you know what the ones that you usually get when you get a takeaway and they send you lots and lots of these clear containers they will work just fine as long as the liquid stays in um a kitchen sponge really inexpensive one as well doesn't have to be expensive now i have uh just dampened this just to make sure it's expanded as much as it's going to when it's wet and pop that into the base there now i'm going to trim this to size just a little bit so that it doesn't pop out and it doesn't have to fill the base it just needs to be secure in there and then your favorite glue so whatever your wet glue is i'm going to use the collage glue you could use a white pva glue if you wanted either way it's entirely up to you so i'm just going to spread lots of the glue i mean i'm going to use most of this bottle because i'm going to be using this lots and lots and lots and i have i have a lot of these bottles in here so a really nice thick covering all over that sponge now the next stage is to take um something like a a spreading tool of some description so i'm going to use um this if this is for sort of texture paste in stencils things like that and i'm just going to press the glue into the sponge and keep pressing down working my way around until the sponge has absorbed lots of the glue there now like i say this will work with many wet glues it doesn't have to be this particular brand at all in fact if you like to use different glues it's worth having a few of these pots laying around and they don't have to be as big as this either can be um quite small so i'm just going to work this in just pressing it into all the pockets of the sponge there so that when i press my die cut on i'm just going to be getting a very small amount of it and as i start using the top layer of glue i can then just start pressing down harder with my die cuts as time goes on to get more and more glue out so now i've got a sponge saturated with glue there it's been pushed into the sponge so i'm going to take this i'm going to clean that up in just a moment but now as you can see i can just press my die cut into there and if you want to use tweezers or something like that something like a pokey tool you can do so you don't get mucky fingers and then i've got a coating of glue all over the reverse there of my die cut and i haven't had to go along with all of those stringy pieces and that will now stick to my project you

Low poly cactus tutorial Blender 2.8
hello and welcome to another tutorial today we will be doing the low-poly cactus in blender so the first thing we're going to do is to our default cube and create a plane and which we will create the cactus so this will be kind of like the terrain so I'm going to scale it up a little bit I'm going to press W to subdivide and I'm going to subdivide this about three or four times and once you add some fractal so it gives that nice look to it let you change the seed to something like that and that looks pretty nice so once we have that Geneva the base of the cactus we will be using meta balls so let's make a capsule let's rotate this on the Y 90 degrees and let's scale is on the x axis and let's move this up so once we have that for once you also add a ball or we just kill this one down and this will act as like promotes the base of the cactus so once we have those two metal balls where would you go to object convert to mesh from curve meta surfer text and this as and once we have this we want to go to object again and we want to shade flat and we want to add a decimate modifier and maybe let's add de triangulate and let's apply and let's move some of these vertices down cuz it kinda looks a bit ugly okay that looks better and now what we're going to do is we're going to duplicate some of these let's actually make this a bit smaller just put that in the ground and let's select some of these vertices and then select the smooth option with O and do some variations also I have some next to debase and we want to do more in order to summate because this is smaller so it looks about right and we want to do a decimate here as well let's actually do it this image - this - because there's a lot of polygons maybe rotate them and once we have that we're going to add these bikes so to do that we're going to create a plane and we're going to subdivide just once let's make sure the fractal is set to zero I'm going to want to grab this vertice and move this up so this will serve as these spikes so let's add a few with patience we could also do a particle system to do this but we have more become more control if we do it manually let's also have some to the other cactus and just a few more okay that doesn't look very good there we go let's just add a few more to this last one let's add these a little bit so they stick out a little bit more maybe put one on the side and we can also add some flowers if we wanted to so let's add a cube actually let's delete this let's make it an object let's add a cube scale it rotate this on to Z and we can add a different material to this so let's create our base material it's going to Rogers view let's at the base material chew every cactus and we want to lower the roughness so it doesn't reflect so it gives that nice little poly look and let's edit this and make a darker version let's add that to or spikes and we can finally create fun alas material I'll actually let's make this let's make the roughness of this it's actually on zero okay and finally we'll create one last material and make it a nice orange e color and that will be it so thanks for watching and in the next one I hope you enjoyed it bye

a great man is hard on himself a small man is hard on others co-live your life in such a way that you neither hide nor have a wish to display your life to peoples a wise man becomes free when he is ready to die at any moment be more concerned with your character than with your reputation because your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are man is a genius when he is dreaming you aren't nervous about the performance you're nervous about the results good men are not those who now and then do a good act but men who join one good act to another know you not that a good man does nothing for appearance sake but for the sake of having done right keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you too can become great

All Souls (C)
[Music] hello everyone there are some people who depart this life not so bad as to be deemed unworthy of mercy but not so good as to be admitted to the immediate happiness of heaven who said that actually to a st. Augustine way back in the early centuries of the church eternal life is deferred until one is undergone a prior period of purification and penance we should use this present world as an outpost of purgatory purgatory pain is far more intense than anything to be experienced here on earth or so some of the saints tell us who were also told were taken to purgatory and they saw what went off there the pain is a temporary loss of God these souls are much more aware than we are of the distance between the goodness and beauty of God for whom they suffer an ardent longing and their own imperfect state they see now that there is a God and they realize more clearly how much they have hurt him how many times they have disregarded him and are many opportunities they have wasted scripture tells us and nothing defiled can enter Heaven closer our time now in one of the Second Vatican Council documents it reads we accept with great devotion the venerable faith of our ancestors regarding this vital fellowship with our heaven with our brethren who are in heavenly glory or who having died are still being purified the catechism which was came was put together in 1983 under st. john paul ii and now the Catechism states that all who died in God's grace and friendship but still imperfectly purified are indeed assured of their eternal salvation but after that they undergo purification so as to G achieved the holiness necessary to enter the joys of heaven the church gives the name purgatory to the final purification of the elect which is entirely different from the punishment of the Damned the church formulated our doctrine of faith in purgatory especially at the councils of Florence and Trent Pope st. Gregory the Great teaches as for certain lesser faults we must believe that before the final judgment there is a purifying fire he who is truth says and this is also in Scripture that whoever utters blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will be pardoned neither in this age nor in the age to come from this sentence we understand that certain offenses can be forgiven even in the age to come now I know our Protestant friends don't believe in purgatory they say it's not in Scripture but it certainly is in Scripture and I've just shown where it is this teaching is also based on the practice of prayer for the dead already mentioned in Sacred Scripture in the book of Maccabees where it reads it is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins the Holy Souls they're not unholy Souls they're holy souls they are crying out for our prayers and the mass is the most effective suffrage we can offer for them st. John Chrysostom says that the mass is the best way of bringing relief to the dead the Catechism already referred to teachers from the beginning the church has honored the memory of the dead and offer prayers and suffrage for them above all the Eucharistic sacrifice of the mass so that was purified they may attain the beatific vision of God which is heaven the church also commands arms giving indulgences and works of penance undertaken on behalf of the dead purgatory is particularly relevant for those people who while on earth have not taken responsibility for their day-to-day sins and failings we're not talking here about mortal sins of course but venial sins even though forgiveness is readily available by the merits of Christ's death and resurrection those in purgatory have chosen to ignore this in purgatory we willingly endure its pains in order to make up for our sins the Holy Souls as they're commonly called purify themselves willingly and lovingly st. Francis I don't know whether the st. Francis of Assisi or Saint Francis Xavier he says that the bitterest anguish experienced by the Holy Souls is shot through with a profound peace may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace amen thank you very much for listening and god bless you all [Music] you

How your sufferings are the seeds of your success
we all want to be happy in our life we don't want any problems any suffering any pain in our life therefore when we face trouble in our life we start asking questions like why we have been victimized why it is me why I have to suffer friends let us understand that suffering is part of life and suffering is the greatest teacher in this one the famous Indian poet Rahim das has beautifully said Rahim intifada who believed Joe for aid in Hawaii hit anahit ya jabbar the name John part of the self so the meaning is that it is good that we have to suffer or short back because when we suffer during that time we know who are our well wishers and who are not our college friends in this world most of the people are with us when it is our good time then we are succeeding they are successful we are powerful they are wealthy everybody want to become our friend but when we suffer in our life then the same people maintain distance and therefore if there is a suffering you can understand who your true friends are who your true well-wishers are and who are not so this is a very very valuable lesson because they are after you can mold your life accordingly at the same time let us also understand that suffering is the greatest teacher because when we are successful when we are enjoying our life we never look inside us and find out as to why we are succeeding because we give all credit over stuff but when we fail and suffer immensely in that situation we look inside and try to find out as to why we have failed what is the mistake we have completely what is my weakness and thereby again we'll learn a lot about us because if we learn the right lessons will not commit those mistakes again and we will not so first let us understand that suffering is part of every person's life instead of running away from suffering and pain we should rather welcome it when it comes and learned the right lessons formed it they are after we can use those lessons and avoid the future sufferings from overnight so let us learn to thank the suffering pain and the troubles which comes into our life because they are the greatest teachers of us what they can teach in nobody else can teach and if we use those teachings we can make our life great [Music] you

[Music] get a bite get a bite get a bite get a bike get a bite get a bike get a bike get a bike get a bike get a bite [Music] um another little singing trap look at this little guy Sandy the sandies are hidden and everything the specs won't hit on anything [Music] all right there goes one oh oh that's a nice one oh oh that's a nice trout oh oh come on oh he found her that's why it's a speckled

it's about time [Music] what you thinking hmm what you thinking you see that speckled trout he don't want to you don't want to cooperate that's a nice one he don't want to cooperate does he surely they see the light too on the fishing pole on the fish yeah that's why I said I said I think we're fishing yeah I think we're fishing with with too thick of line I think we're fishing with too thick a line oh that's a nice Splish Splash do you see that what was that what was that there we go oh ah he got off little guy little little sand Trail Cassandra on our smartest speckle trout they'll bite almost anything there he goes that one's a little bigger but he's still small oh oh come on that's a speckled trout yeah that's a keeper he might be short he has that one in that one oh yeah he's

that's the one we've been wanting today this evening oh that's a nice drought you know that hovershad's doing it today you know he's doing a good job I thought I uh thought I was going to lose him it all twist it up a little bit let me get him off here we go 18 incher beautiful fish nice big guy let him go that's what I'm talking about 18 incher baby let him go he's gone well you know it's been uh it's been tough tonight we're just cast any casting you know that's all I can do is just cast a lot you know I can see the uh I can see the specs coming up and and banging around uh just hovershad let me fix a little bit this hovershad from uh H2O Express I've had it for a couple of years and I really never really use them that what ah they got me I really never use them that much but um they're coming in clutch tonight look at that they got me they're coming to clutch tonight um you know just they're slow falling and the bite is slow the beta are active they're kind of just hitting on you know the little bugs and stuff on on top and they're hitting on little small shad and a little small shrimp here and there but they haven't really been consistently biting the specs of them because Cecily biting anything now the sand trout have pretty much bit whatever I wanted them to whatever I put in their face but uh the specs are being a little difficult a little funky um I need a lighter leader line I think will help a lot I'll go a long way trying to get them to bite I probably need like something like around 10 or 12 pounds I I can't go lighter than that but I think about 10 or 12 pounds would do it I don't have it so I I left my lighter line at home so I'm kind of fishing with 20 . this is 15 pound fluorocarbon so I think it's 16 pound actually so this is the lightest line I have so that could be the reason why they're hitting the Shad because it's on the lighter line but this shad hovershad almost like a Corky if you will they uh caught a few fish out here on the corkies before but it is what it is you know slow bite new moon no other light in the sky except the light right here that we're producing and we're bringing in some some bait a very little bait but the trouter here the specs are here most of them look smaller but I just pulled out a couple couple Keepers one undersized so we'll just keep fishing keep casting so we can come up with [Music] [Applause] thank you [Music] [Applause] thank you well you know that didn't quite produce what I was hoping for you know but I still had a really good time I I really did you know I I wanted to come out and beat the heat a little bit and fish you know fish a little bit of the nighttime beat the heat it's just so hot outside even right now it's like super super humid and it's it's probably a little after two in the morning and uh you know I was hoping that the trout would be there and they were there they just want to cooperate and this has happened to me before uh at the same location where I just can't figure out what they want and uh if you have any suggestions on how you would have fished the trout maybe what you would have thrown or even uh the technique you would have used you know just a little bit of a you know give me kind of kind of hints or feedback or something that that's worked for you in the past not just for me but anybody else that is watching uh the trout were there they seemed more interested in each other than they were me they were feeding on a lot of small shad and even that small little like class minnow also peanuts a small shrimp and I try to change it up and get some smaller profile stuff for them to to look at and feed I just don't think I had the right uh later on I think they were just like blind shy tonight and like I said they were more interested in themselves and there were me surprised they didn't get into any Reds um you know just didn't hook into any at all through Rattle Trap kind of quite quite a lot too tonight and typically that's that's that will really draw and bring in some rents but uh yeah didn't happen didn't happen for me tonight but I still had a great time beat the heat got on the water got the line wet that felt the tug although I only landed a couple of slot specs uh there was still plenty more out there and uh I'm gonna go back to the drawing board I know I will be out at the same docks and I'll be out here again uh pretty soon to figure out what the fish want hopefully I can figure it out go back to the drawing board like I said leave me a comment what would you have done different than I would have done or the night then I what would you have done different than I did and uh hopefully together we can uh we can figure out this bike but thanks a lot guys don't forget you haven't subscribed yet to the Channel please go and do so like the video leave a comment all that stuff really helps the channel extremely thanks thank you [Music]

This Week in Gambling: Delaware First State to Legalize Online Casinos
come on in here come on come on this is uh this is this is jay todd coming to you from fremont street in las vegas and i'm in the middle of an alfred hitchcock movie this is what's happening this week in gambling stay away from me this week in gambling has been made possible by sbr forum sports betting discussions and handicapping on all major sports leagues visit them at sbrforum.com hello my friends and welcome once again to this week in gambling i'm your host jay todd and i know this because it says so right down there see says right it's gone all right you know it's you know it's an exciting time to work in the gambling industry it's probably probably it's probably exciting for you players simple line can't get it right you know it's an exciting time to be working in the gambling industry it's probably exciting for you gaming enthusiasts as well last week i told you about nevada issuing the first ever online poker licenses now this week delaware becomes the first state to legalize and regulate full-blown online casino-style gambling yeah although players probably won't see any action until next year this of course brings up an interesting question will states like delaware who are relatively small have the player base to support things like online poker it won't matter with things like roulette or slots or craps where you can play against the house but with poker you need butts in seats there's already been speculation that even nevada might have to partner with other states in order to have a large enough player base and delaware is less than one-third the size of nevada so even though things are moving in a positive direction what happens when states try to pool their players together and start crossing state lines i'll tell you what happens a cluster screw a monumental proportions as the feds step in put down their own regulations and then try to take their cut with more taxes makes your head hurt all right changing directions did you guys hear that the founder of full tilt poker turned himself in to authorities in new york this week it's true we'll be talking about that story plus this weekend's big ufc fight right after the break subscribe to our feed for curated gambling posts and videos visit friendfeed.com slash this week in gambling what's up smart being smart yep just booked my tenth night on hotels.com so i get a night free you me get away really where anywhere you want not bed and breakfast bed and breakfast check a place by the beach a place by awesome oh you are smart accumulate 10 nights and get a night free welcome rewards from hotels.com smart so smart like gang sign birds full tilt poker's founder ray batar turned himself in to authorities in new york on monday he is accused of defrauding players out of millions and millions and millions of dollars now don't get me wrong i'm happy that this jerk turned himself in well he's probably out on bond by now jackass but but don't you just know how this is going to go down he'll say he's sorry he'll refund some of the player's money he'll pay a nice fine to the u.s government then he'll sit in some federal day camp style prison for six months to a year ooh it's like if i walked out of a bank with five million dollars in cash and they caught me down the block and i said oh gosh i'm really sorry um here's half of it back you know there's always more news going on that i could possibly talk about in this 10 minute program once a week stories like these you can visit our news section which also has headlines feature stories poker sports betting plus video and vegas content by getting over to this week in gambling dot com once you're there you just click on that little link right up top where it says news and information you just click it just click it and it takes you right into the section yeah now for a sports betting update here's the man that puts the izzle in my fazizzle peter loshach from sbr forums man you know me so well j todd so well anyway let's talk about what's coming up this week uh in gambling events of course wimbledon is continuing and it winds down this week the last rounds run through this coming monday and the canadian football league started up this past weekend but no one really cares about that i did though address it in my weekly sports betting chat with the headlines manager at bet dsi and he told me that the cfl is lightly bet but that most of the action is sharp so he told me that it's tough to book because of that and that they do offer cfl at dsi because they have to but they don't like to do it because you know it's very risky for them and then major league baseball is continuing this is the last week before the all-star break and as the first half winds down the pittsburgh pirates have been the most profitable team to bet on so far while the philadelphia phillies have been the most unprofitable team in the first half and for starting pitchers of course r.a dickey is having his unbelievable season and he's been the most profitable starting pitcher to bet on in the first half while amazingly the bottom three starting pitchers in all of baseball in terms of losing money betting their starts are all marquee names cliff lee dan harren and tim linscombe normally thought of as three of the absolute best starting pitchers in the game are literally the three most unprofitable starting pitchers to have bet on in the first half in all of baseball at the moment and then also coming up this weekend is ufc 148 and anderson silva is the featured fighter there silva of course is considered to be the best pound-for-pound mma fighter at the moment and he's having his rematch with chael sonnen and chelsea fought silva very tough in their first match and looked like he was going to even get a win until silva pulled out a submission in the fifth round but despite how competitive that first fight was the markets right now are giving silva about a 71 chance to win again and i've already done an interview with a professional mma oddsmaker at sbr about this fight where he said that he thinks silva should be an even bigger favorite even though he liked sonnen in the first fight so it's interesting we'll be covering and discussing that fight all week long at sbr and then of course the world series of poker has started and the main event starts on july 7th and there are a number of props on the world series of poker that sports books are offering a lot of them give you a pool of poker pros where you can bet on which one will last the longest and they also offer props on the age and nationality of the eventual winner as well right now pinnacle is offering odds that there's a 56 and a half percent chance that the winner of the main event will be someone who was born in the united states and about a 40 chance that the winner will be someone who was born in 1986 or later so that's what's on tap for the upcoming week in the world of sports betting j todd back to you i just wanted to say first of all thank you to everyone out there for watching this week in gambling and secondly it's not often you see a block of cheese and a tomato walking down the street together dudes wait were they supposed to be intimidating oh wait a minute oh hold on a minute you're not a block of cheese in a tomato you're more like something i had to have lanced on my butt once and you uh i i don't know you're what are you block of cheese a block of cheese and you are angry bird motherflower an angry bird only in vegas baby see you next week is that you chester

Being Truthful Is The First Step to Creating Your Desired Reality and Here's How | Jordan Peterson
after when you were starting to talk in your relationship in a more truthful manner what did that mean that you had to admit I mean you just said that part of it was a disconnect between who you were trying to be and who you really were so that's a Persona issue right so you think maybe and everyone has this proclivity to some degree as they're deeply um self-conscious and uncertain and so instead of allowing the person they're with to connect with that underlying uncertainty and inadequacy they act out a Persona and then the problem is is that well perhaps the person falls in love with that persona but there's no real connection there it's it's an artifice and you know having said that one of the things that Carl Jung the great psychotherapist said about a Persona is don't be thinking that you're better off if you never formed one so for Jung it was a voyage from say undifferentiated self and infancy and so forth through Persona to authenticity because you have to act out your ideals to some degree right and and and you also have to formulate a avatar of yourself in some sense that's a mediator between you and other people in casual social encounters like you don't want to walk into the bank and have the teller tell you about his or her day when you say how are you doing right I mean now and then that can happen but generally it's too much intimacy too quickly and so you need this this functional shell but the problem arises when that functional shell is all that there is and then the real person underneath is just desperate and and unhappy because nothing of what's being acted out reflects a true underlying reality I'm trying to get a hold of the Disney people at the moment because I want to do a lecture series on Pinocchio because I think Pinocchio is brilliant work of art and if you're a puppet and an actor and Pinocchio is both at times in that movie both a puppet and an actor so why an actor like why is there why is there something wrong with being an actor well the first question is well who sets your role and then the second question is who's pulling your strings so you've put on this front that is there to make you popular and sexy and desirable and to mask from yourself your own inadequacies but that's a role well who wrote it and for what purpose and so Jung said for example that we all acted out a myth and whether we knew it or not and you know maybe you're acting out a tragedy maybe maybe you're acting out Narcissus you don't know because you've put that you've put that on yourself in an attempt in some ways to deliver to people what they want or more accurately to look as though you're delivering to people what they want and it's not nothing to do that right because at least you're attempting in some sense to adapt to the social World someone who's really infantile and dependent someone who's never left home part of their problem is that they haven't crafted a persona so you don't want to denigrate it entirely but it's no substitute for the real thing and it turns out that not only is what we want from each other the real thing but that's also the adventure of your life and so if you aren't truthful and that means unfortunately especially at the beginning when you start to be truthful it means deeply coming to terms with your inadequacies in humility so it's very painful without that you don't have the adventure of your life you have the role that has been that you've acquiesced to and that'll take all the meaning out of your life for example let's say you're at a dead end in your job okay so I don't find my work meaningful all right so that's a problem State it's like well why not I find the work I do repetitive and boring and without spirit I have a bad relationship or a neutral relationship with my boss who doesn't know who I am I have problems with co-workers all of that needs to be differentiated right and analyzed in detail so we might say for example let's say you believe that you're undervalued at work and maybe you are what you need to do is you have something to say and we would have to figure out what it is that you have to say but it would be some variant of I'm bringing more value to the table than I'm being compensated for and that's demoralizing me and it's also not good for you you being my boss because if I'm actually more valuable than is being recognized then the fact that you're not valuing me properly means that I will become demoralized I won't work properly and you won't get the best out of me so it's bad for both of us and if your boss is in principle not amenable to such a discussion then what you should seriously consider doing is finding another job okay so let's say we're going to set you up for this okay this isn't like next week's Enterprise man this is your life so the first thing I would ask is well do you have your resume or CV in order well I haven't typed it up for three years well what do you think about bringing it up well I'm pretty nervous about that because there's some holes in it and you know I didn't do so well in college and I'm kind of embarrassed about my resume it's like okay bring it in let's go through it let's let's let's at least update it let's look where the holes are let's look at where the inadequacies are as far as you're concerned right this isn't my judgment it's your judgment let's walk through those judgments and see if they're warranted because maybe you're just too guilty and ashamed and self-conscious and anxious and you're not you're looking at your resume more critically than someone else would and maybe there's some holes that you need to rectify you know you're you're at you're you were two courses away from your ba and you dropped out or something like that well maybe we need six months to address that and at least even if you can't be fully educated you could be taking some courses online and so when you went to a new job interview and they said what about this whole you'd say well I I came to terms with that six months ago and in an effort to rectify it I'm taking the following courses and here's my plan for completion that's a really good answer and anyone with any sense who's interviewing will accept that as an indication that although you're not perfect and who is that you have a good plan and that you've thought it through like that's the kind of answer that in all likelihood will cement your candidacy for the position okay so now you're gonna go to your boss well you have to have your CV and your resume in order and you have to be able to stand on it solidly and which at least means that you're prepared to address the inadequacies in a credible realistic believable and truthful manner all right now what you do is apply for like 10 jobs you don't have to take them but maybe you have to go to an interview or two or three or four and maybe there's a bunch of opportunities out there for you that you didn't even know about and maybe someone offers you a job and so now now you can go to your boss and say here's the situation I'm in here at work um here's my evaluation of the problems in relationship to me here's what I could do for you if you gave me a 40 raise and the opportunity to progress but I'd like to see a plan for that and um I've been looking for other opportunities before conducting this discussion and I have some well then if your boss treats you with contempt at that point and doesn't listen then perhaps he or she is a little more narcissistic than might be optimal and it's time to find a new job but this isn't something you do trivially and so when you're doubtful say you're trapped you ask yourself well why am I trapped that's a hard question right because some of it's your own inadequacy a lot of it and all of the part of it that you can deal with is your own inadequacy so even if it's unfair you know even if you're hemmed in for any number of reasons inappropriate like ethnically predicated oppression let's say or maybe you live it you're in a workplace that really is sexist in some fundamental sense well that's not good it's not just it's not fair it's it's not meritorious all of those things men maybe you shouldn't be there but what you can do to begin with is every bloody thing you possibly can do to put yourself in the most virtuous and Powerful negotiating position possible and you have to think like a snake in some sense to do that you got to get the details right you have to be prepared to bite and and you have to have your eyes on the prize so to speak and people aren't taught this sort of thing ever really they're not taught how to negotiate they're not taught how to goal set they're not taught how to conceptualize appropriate success in some broad sense in some sense that's what the humanities are supposed to teach people how someone is to build their self-awareness it's almost like the unknown unknown if you don't have how do you build the thing I know a good exercise for that It's Like a Prayer in some sense in fact I would say it's proper prayer if you want to know something about yourself sit on your bed one night and say to yourself you gotta mean this like you got to be desperate this is no game this it's like my life is not everything I want it to be and perhaps it's not everything that I need it to be and by need I mean my life is so unbearable that the suffering that's attended upon that is make me nihilistic cynical bitter resentful homicidal genocidal unable to have a good relationship Pro prone to punish people for their virtues because of my jealousy uh driving the proclivity to see evil everywhere except within my own Heart Like These are problems man and you ask yourself you sit on the bed and say okay man I'm ready to learn something like what what's one thing I'm doing wrong that I know I'm doing wrong that I could fix that I would fix it's like you meditate on that you'll get an answer and it won't be one you want but it'll be the necessary one you know and it's often something that will point you to small things so Carl Jung said people in the modern world don't see God because they don't look low enough and so imagine you're in your messy bedroom you know and you're sitting on the edge of the bed trying to have an honest dialogue with yourself and the little voice says you know what's pretty disgusting in here and you think well I'm way above Such trivial niceties as organizing my room well that's Pride that's arrogance if you're above organizing what's actually yours how in the world are you ever going to organize anything else and so you get on your knees and you think well it's time to you know take a brush to the toilet and maybe that's where you start and so and that works like that works you start making those micro improvements like real micro improvements real on the ground actual micro improvements to things you know that are wrong you'll improve unbelievably rapidly

The Sandford Rowberrow Hike To Cheddar,Part I,' Arrival & Start' by Sheila, April16th 2021
right then it's the 16th of april 2021. it's been quite a morning i'm out at uh sanford got off the 126. um there's only two of us on the whole double decker it had been steamed and cleaned and up there is the quarry i'm not doing the quarry today because what happened i'm an hour late because what happened was they're doing road works and new bus stops in western super mario town center marine parade and it's messed up all the buses so basically the bus what didn't stop on the sea front like it always does um and i haven't been on a bus for five months since november the fifth or fourth i didn't realize that you had to pick it up at the railway station so anyway i got up early nice and relaxed breakfast nice gentle walk along the seafront took some pictures of some swans thinking oh yeah you've got 10 minutes yet and what happened was the bus didn't wasn't going to pick me up on the seafront by the time i realized i had arrived at the bus stop and i was just looking at these yellow signs i hadn't been there for let's say five six months so and i looked i said oh god it's not stopping here some buses were still stopping but not the one two six and i it was five to nine the bus was going to leave in five minutes with railway station it took me 10 minutes nearly 15 minutes to get there it had gone i'd missed it i was i was a bit disturbed because i got up i had i was taking my time i wasn't rushing anyway the speed march across town did actually wake me up a bit it wasn't as bad it was sunny and warm it wasn't raining i went in the railway station to use the ladies they let me come in with my mask on i explained i've missed my bus and i didn't realize the venue it's changed and i had half an hour to wait anyway fortunately they let me use a low then i another lady was at the stop she was early as well and uh soon went the time but cause some you know with chatting and stuff but what happened was i was an hour behind so although i normally quite often i go in the quarry i've actually cut it out today that bit because that would have been the first hour so i'll do another walk another time just watch some blue bells over there see them longwood will be getting like this now and there wouldn't even be time for longwood today now i'm an hour behind i'll make that a separate trip another time in a couple of weeks when they well garlic he made so many i got here in the end and i was going along and one of my children phoned me he pretended they were bt asked me if i had any problems in my line oh they're so funny really anyway i'm i'm out now and so i can hear the birds singing um i'm i've got off at sanford i'm going to walk across this walk i usually do like i said i've got to miss the quarry out today unfortunately gotta miss the quarry out um it doesn't matter i wouldn't want to rush it anyway um the quarry where the peregrine falcons nest because i've noticed already my bag with an extra bottle of water how much heavier it is already and i've already taken my scarf hat and gloves off i've worn a lighter coat thank goodness and i have put leggings in windproof leggings in case it's cold on the way back i don't want to get on that bus like i did in november my legs froze it was awful because we had to have the windows open you know covered rules and everything anyway so i'm going up this lovely little track i've seen a few people out not many no one's behind me at the moment it doesn't take long for people to catch me up i would have liked to have done the quarry which is just over there but um i'm happy to leave it for another time but the blue bells are looking gorgeous all the way through there that gorgeous blue bells spring is definitely here once you see them i've been so looking forward to this walk i'm not worried if i don't always do the quarry so i'm not going to be too worried by that but i hate losing an hour but i did check with the driver the last bus first of all he said it was um an hour earlier than what i knew it would be he checked three times in the end he said no it will be leaving wells 20 to six a last bus which means i'll get to in theory get to cheddar by about eight minutes past or 10 minutes past six so i don't have to rush i was i usually like to get the five o'clock one then i know there is another one coming but of course one year they cut out a couple of buses you can only get a bus every two to three hours but it seems ridiculous with the restrictions lifted and the summer coming to have cut the service now i suspect the drivers have quite a good easy time of it um without having to have any passengers i says need two of us on the double decker one up and one down i opened the windows upstairs actually because they weren't open i'm going to turn off just take a few pictures now so i'm on my way up so familiar ground i'm heading for a row barrow hill fort although i'm not going to be doing the hill fort today i'm going to go up through the wood dolby warren i'm going to weave in out the trees which i've missed i haven't done this particular walk for probably two years or a good year doing the weaving but all right every now and take some pictures some lovely scenes here see it's pretty isn't it lovely life lovely hoofing out back on again carrying on the walk i wanted to get this walk done today the weather is nice it could have been all right for a cycle but i decided i wanted to do a walk um basically tomorrow it's i'm going to be tied up watching telly a lot we've got the zukavan number funeral tomorrow so that will be on the telly all day even though the procession and all that is sort of i'll pass two-ish to three there'll be the minute silence and the ceremony it is some of it has been televised but i don't think they're gonna televise the lowering of the coffin down into the vault though but um yeah we don't have to watch everything it's like we don't always watch people being put in the ground you know on telly you see the ceremony and you can see the gravesite afterwards i think these are birch trees or beets or birch i can never remember which anyway so the last time i came over here i did do the quarry route but um i don't mind missing it today there are there is another way up that you seem to be able to go up takes you on this side of the quarry so there's a part of the robert warren i want to do so that's taking priority with my decision-making ah it was nice to hear from one of my kids to phone me up i haven't seen her for could be a year even harder now um now we didn't see each other at christmas easter keeping the distance she's going to have um what's she going to have here she's doing her self-testing everyone can get these free covet tests now you can pick them up from chemists and centers to put up your nose type thing um nice to hear from her though i do worry about my children i love my son foamy not long ago offering me his car another daughter phone to just tell remind me she loved me of course i've got one that lives in the same building as me in the different flats so i we see each other we're in a bubble um yeah i really needed to to get out today um i do a lot of walking i go over to sam bay and i do the woods uphill that sort of thing um it's still a bit too windy for my liking and cold for the bike i don't like breathing in cold air so um i was gonna it could this probably could have been us one of those sort of days where i could have risked it but actually i can now see some cows in here i've got to enter cow territory this hasn't happened before all right i'm just gonna climb over the gate but there's cows look hopefully they're friendly let's climb over the gate everyone you could go into a different field i could go into a different field because there's a load of cows in there i think i'll go in this field and come out lower down just in case i'll go in this way i can walk through this field i think i just don't really i don't see going in the field of cows i don't know if i can get through here i'm not sure if there's a way out over there that's right i don't mind exploring normally i'm walking on that path but there's some bullocks in there they're all walking down that way there's a big group of them you've got to be careful why didn't mine walk in here if they tell me oh fast so well i don't want to get killed by a cow and i know there's a gate down the bottom so i'm not bothered i'll just say that i'm nervous of cows hope you don't mind this is like an outdoor pursuit camping site i've seen a lot of people last year um with their camper vans in their tents they'd just been a terrible storm and some of them had only just sort of held on all night it's a lovely tree that one there it's holding on because it's a high up it's more exposed that one so basically it's holding on to its buds you can feel the nippiness more over there that hill over there that's real bro hill fort but i'm not climbing up it today so i've missed the quarry i'm not doing the hill for it i'm going down through the valley where the stream is and then i'm going to weave in and out row barrow warren um i'm going to weave in that row barrel warren till i get to the era of outstanding natural beauty and it would be amazing if the blue bells are out up there see i wouldn't normally come in here because it's normally lots of people but there are some good views here some different views over and out will i take some pictures carrying on the walk robo hill fort right in front of me here's the outdoor pursuit camping area probably not open yet maybe it's still a bit too nippy toilet block there lovely tree there all these trees are hanging on they know not to uh come out yet so another time when i come here this is probably filled with campers and young people doing their map and compass they do lots of different things here you see them carrying great big rucksacks full of their tent and everything as they go off into the hills on missions they do abseiling from the quarry and it's all well organized yeah so i've picked another good time to sometimes little events like the cows they allow you to divert and then you get more images you see you get more images now i'm glad i've got my uh a sort of winter jumper and i put my not my thick black trousers on um these are sort of what you can wear in the winter and the summer but for later if i feel i'm nippy when i get to have to go on the bus later i will put on my windshield trousers they're very thin and light and slightly waterproof but they will keep the cold off my legs um wait and see what happens when the time comes yes you can hear the birds chirping yeah there is a walk through that wood i've not done yet you can pick it up further down here there's some a couple of pubs not yet but um this is like this comes under the umbrella of churchill you've got sanford and churchill and winscum and uh i've got a feeling there's walks within this particular wood as well that you can pick up down here and i think it will take you back to the road um for picking up other buses oh yeah i've been thinking about this walk i'm glad i deviated a bit and came off so you can even get water there there's a tap it's just handy to know these little things if you were on a walk say i was coming back and i'd been on a big hike i know that there's a water tap there and the gates open so there's no problem i don't normally come in here this is uh it's quiet at the moment so i'm going to turn off again take some more photos folks over and out you

we are the reporters for queer news tonight and this evening we begin with the queer headlines the lgbtq plus community in south florida and across america is diverse our community across the world is vast and here are the bullet points of the queer news for today thursday december 16th so let's begin by queering up entertainment rolling loud fans show they still don't forgive the baby's homophobia as a general rule of thumb it's usually best to wait more than half a half more than four and a half months after a homophobic scandal to try to mount a career come back but apparently the baby didn't get that memo on sunday the 29 year old rapper took to the stage for day three of a rolling loud california where he was met with a hostile audience that clearly wasn't very thrilled to see him radar said in a report quote numerous fuming fans at rolling loud festival in california this past weekend were not hyped for the controversial wrapper set as video footage of his performance at los angeles national orange show event center on sunday night showed at least 10 objects from various directions in the jam-packed crowd being hurled at him mid-performance the objects included open beverages it's not exactly clear what else was thrown but for the record throwing things at people is not okay in fact it could be considered assault but we understand why people were upset in august the baby came under fire for making offensive remarks about lgbtq people those living with hiv aids and women at the rolling loud festival here in miami florida what do you guys think people throw shade not objects um and don't waste your drink on him no i i i don't understand why um not only why did the baby thought this was good timing but also why uh they decided to bring him back uh the you know at rolling loud why they determined that that was a good idea right well i mean after what he did here in miami it's like you know then he went i thought he was going to get a little easier softer he gave some money to some organizations right well he said he was going he said he was going there's no confirmation that he actually did it so there's still no confirmation on that oh i know that there was going to be further that he was supposed to do or said he was going to do it and then none of it and every time he tries to apologize he does it in a way where you get more mad at him you know what i mean it's very like my team told me to apologize but i don't i fully stand by what i still don't like you people but you know i have to say sorry so sorry yeah yeah well the baby listen that's right there that's a good person to cancel i think to your to your question i think he was probably booked uh since they're both rolling a lot of festival he was probably booked well before this happened and they were like well this is august this is mid-december and people just won't notice and then it'll blown over by then yeah clearly it has not thankfully ignorance ignorance always finds a mic always there you go unfortunately john and i we move on we clear up politics linda carter my favorite wonder woman still love you though gull would not approve new marjory taylor green tribute misses the point of wonder woman entirely watch this [Music] me [Music] wonder woman [Music] now the world's ready [Music] [Applause] get us out from under halloween [Music] me [Music] [Laughter] take a breath i know where do we begin oh well i guess well i'll fill us in first but oh i can't wait to comment while public advocate usa is one of the most vicious anti-lgbtq hate groups in the nation their sense of camp is spot on the group stages ridiculous protests like the one we just saw that appear to be planned and executed by high school students and it doesn't look like it was whilst the spokesperson drones on and on about the dastardly people who want civil rights but this time they may have their take they may have taken their stick to brand new heights they've made that video complete with singing dancing and my favorite whirling umbrellas that spell out lmnop which stands for lifestyle mainstream normal ordinary people that celebrates representative marjorie taylor green from georgia as a modern day wonder woman apparently missing the point the wonder woman is accepting of different sexual and gender identities and was an icon of feminism and equality the faux wonder woman does battle with a woman draped in a pride flag and wearing boxing gloves to make it even more intense her foes gloves have on a rainbow stripe on one and a black lives matter sticker on the other the video is part of a campaign to announce that they sent green a petition signed by 120 000 people just to tell her how great she is and they praised her quote national leadership for pro-family values and singular opposition to the biden administration and the evil homosexual lobby policies and outright attacks on most christian families end quote wow oh my god do you think oh my god when you think of wonderful women first and foremost first and foremost i think you guys are not giving high school protesters enough credit they are at least uh much less sonically challenged they can carry a tune for sure absolutely right oh my god oh my god the birth john say something no just the the burning of it into my eyes i haven't had that kind of burning since the last time i had gonorrhea and if you close your eyes really you'll hear it it's really it's really giving like west whisper about the stretch energy as well which is like what is with homophobes and like like having absolutely no like but you can tell that you can tell that they have no gay friends right because like get your gay family would be like okay girl don't wear that you shouldn't be singing that part and you you know we'll get it all together i mean it's so bad it's so bad that you almost forget how freaking rude it is that that wonder woman is fighting somebody else that has brought boxing gloves on and one glove says blm and the other one has our flag on it like so disrespectful right while we're laughing at it what it really is is a truly hateful message oh yeah and it's a tarot it's i think in a way it's sort of like a trap you are sort of laughing at it but you can't miss what they're saying well are you sure are you laughing at it no i'm not laughing at it and and while i completely agree with all of you i i i wonder and this is something we have talked about before also how does hate fix hit we are sitting here we are judging them yes right we are doing exactly the same thing they do to us because not exactly but think about how is the healing we're going into the holiday season that's one thing hopefully still left which brings people together how does by doing this how are we i mean you feel sad for them really that this is your level of understanding of other human beings and what is normal honey there's a problem but we are not going to stoop to your level and discuss about we're not going to give you that acknowledgement that you are that bad because we love you we love you that's your suggestion no so i'll use you will pray for them i will continue to make fun of you i don't know if pray for them that might be pushing agora but no but seriously i mean you even the story you guys talked about earlier i'm thinking here sitting there bash has we bash them they bash us people are bashing flight attendants everybody's bashing everybody when is this going to stop if it ever will and and that truly really coming from india moved here to a wonderful country really really saddens my heart that's all that's it all right ayush i think we're done with that story after anyway on that note no but i'm gonna think about let's talk about black and brown butts underwear and underwear everybody clear up gay culture leading lgb adult okay let's everybody listen up leading lgbtq plus adult entertainment brand is giving back this holiday season i love

from india i'm getting warmed up back here honey let's go max next let's queue up religion vatican apologizes after lgbtq plus resource removed from their official website vatican's general secretariat and the senate of bishops apologized to leading catholic lgbtq advocacy group new ways ministry for having yanked a reference to it on the vatican's official website the new ways ministry resource link was taken down earlier this month without explanation however suspicion quickly fell on the u.s bishops conference which is headed by conservatives who have launched a never-ending anti-lgbtq campaign in the usa and their continued pressure campaign on the new ways ministry to alienate them from the church as much as possible the apology and restoration of the lgbtq resource drew immediate praise monday from new wave ministry as a historic move by the vatican to repair the painful rift the catholic hierarchies doctrine and the gay community have experienced for years wait a gosh darn minute the vatican apologized for something hell has definitely frozen over that's big yeah well i mean they did you know it's that's something that should that they should have had access to for all that time and they didn't um mistakes happen but that's a very big mistake no but they were pressured by the u.s bishops and that shocks me zero percent at all we have taken our homophobia that we haven't been able to legally put through and we've used religion as a conduit to stomp on gay rights and when it doesn't happen here we export it to the world you see it happening in eastern europe you see it happening in west africa and you even see it now in vatican city fortunately vatican city where there's a pope that wants to do the right thing even if he doesn't have the rights or the support of his underlings at least they've put the link back but the fact that the u.s bishops are the ones driving this should surprise no one and lets you know what the us catholic church is really about mic drop and now we clear up the usa texas restaurant throw shade at karen customer when you go to dakota's steakhouse of hereford texas you're going to get served by most reports the staff is friendly and the owner is supportive and when one homophobic customer decided to make insulting remarks about one of the staff members that's exactly what she got served debbie eaton left a review on the restaurant's facebook page declaring that she quote will not be back if boys look like women with nails painted and are servant people end quote to ensure that the owners took her complaint seriously she closed with quote seriously end quote when one customer seemed to agree with her eaton returned to expand on her grievance saying quote ugg nails longer than mine eyebrows painted on and makeup what wtf scott came unglued so gross oh and a sparkly choker choker necklace end quote the restaurant owner josh murray was quick to respond on the restaurant's account saying quote at dakota's steakhouse we support our staff 100 no matter their religion race criminal history or sexuality i don't judge i choose to provide an opportunity of employment for everyone if this offends you please stay at home after all if you could cook debbie then maybe scott wouldn't be looking at his server all night end quote sir scott was probably tired of the possum stew that she kept making every night you know and the shake and bake you know that when you make that voice it doesn't sound too different than yours right yes so what do you guys think i love this owner all about this owner he you know well first of all let me just say that he's very smart with the labor shortage that's going on right now he's making sure to keep his employees happy all right and he's like whatever okay i'm gonna go to bat for anything and anyone because i'm not losing a good employee over someone over some stupidity like this you know i feel this debbie has uh she's just projecting her own judgment what she's probably faced i feel like there's something bigger going on you know whenever i hear i've heard so much growing up you're fat you're this you're that what i've realized many times people are actually talking about themselves and their issues i i really don't know how much you're you're obviously upset at all i mean are you really that upset about the nails or what is truly going on especially when the owner talked about his her husband scott yeah honey yeah i mean really hot and the owner knew his name is right now somewhere i mean i'm tired of volunteering boys she just got upset when he ordered the bone-in rib-eye yeah debbie we send you a big hug from the uh the the show tonight and whatever you're going through just know we love you and even if you don't love us it doesn't matter because we love you honey and get get with that scott girl yeah um wishing you a wonderful year i don't love you are you stars yeah let's go to church i want to talk to scott next we report on our partnership with sunshine in sunshine cathedral the world's largest queer church here in fort lauderdale we are broadcasting from our permanent set here at sunshine and supporting that partnership happening out television network broadcast the largest lgbtq plus religious live broadcast in the world as more than 30 000 watch every sunday at 10 30 a.m eastern watch this [Music] i'm auntie mame south florida's black bearded drag mama and sunshine cathedral is my queer church i love those glasses we finished tonight's queer news headlines with what we call lgbtq plus flash news lgbtq plus flash news governor christie gnome gives trans girls the gift of discrimination for christmas south dakota governor christie gnome has announced her intention to propose an anti-transport bill that would prohibit trans women and girls from playing on women's sports teams in public schools gnome has long opposed allowing transgender students to participate in school sports as their gender but she vetoed a transgender school sports band that had passed the legislature in march because she feared backlash from the ncaa and thought that the wording of the bill left it vulnerable to being overturned in court despite deciding to veto it she then implemented executive orders to prevent trans women at public schools and universities from participating in women's sports now it seems she hopes to enshrine these rules into law in a statement she said quote common sense tells us that males have an unfair physical advantage over females in athletic competition end quote while governor gnome and many proponents of these bills claim that they protect girls and women in sports but they don't they do anything to it they don't do anything to address the actual barriers that girls face in school sports according to women's sports foundation 23 percent more boys than girls participated in school sports in 2018 and 87 percent of ncaa colleges and universities offered disproportionated more athletic opportunities to men more than women the barriers cited by the women's sports foundation include bullying that girls are mocked for playing sports unsupported families abusive coaching little training for school staff on gender equality and a lack of access to mental and physical health care access transgender girls participating in sports was not mentioned in the organization's report as a reason girls don't want to do sports this woman's bill claims to protect girls and women in sports it does completely the opposite it puts these girls in such danger i let everybody play yeah the the thing is is that she is not only being unoriginal and following all her republican colleagues doing it it's the timing she is using this to distract from her own scandal that broke this week she is now accused of last year helping her daughter intervening to get her hope her daughter get her realtor's license who apparently couldn't pass the test and to sell property so yeah her scandal breaks this week and now she does this it just doubles the insult don't let her get away with it she is a terrible person a horrible politician and an even worse person well it also sounds like governor noma's bucking to be trump's running mate in 2024 i i'm really tired and we saw this we saw this in florida and you know in our own state of florida with the fairness of women's sports act i am so sick and tired of transphobia being disguised as feminism and being disguised as women's rights feminism and women's equality means equality for all women and trans women are women and this fails fails a whole a whole sector of that of that demographic lgbtq plus flash news uber can't seem to figure out trans drivers uber is under fire from five transgender employees who say that despite the company's assurances it would help them to update necessary documents for their service their accounts were shut off they claimed uber blocked them from working and told them that the documents they were trying to get updated were quote fraudulent an investigation by the la times turned up multiple instances of trans people who have been adversely affected by the company's botched policy one driver had worked for the service for more than a year when she submitted a form through the company's website titled i am transgender and need account help uber deactivated her account not the most helpful and said she had submitted a fake picture uber says it was it recognizes quote for transgender and non-binary drivers and delivery people the name and photo on their id does not always reflect their true identity and that it is working to quote better serve all users and clearly they're doing something now because well people are paying attention or saying you have to fix this but at least uber's set not saying no we're not going to do it so they're making an effort and we'll check back here in the middle of next month and see and see how they're doing you can also show your support by using a different ride sharing service one that respects right i think um they are they are a tech company this is like at the end of the day um they they are a tech company and so this should not be uh and necessarily a difficulty for them support services and and this is quite literally um something that they've needed to you know reviewing their drivers something they've needed to do from the get-go and so this shouldn't be a difficult problem for them to fix they're just not really investing in it uber if you can give me a mojo donut and a bottle of baby oil at three in the morning you can figure this out yeah anyhow i'm calling you at three this morning it's what is it 2021 yes for a little while and it's this this kind of stuff is just exhausting come on you've enough money figure it out don't use it as a security thing please i mean come on everybody's trying to make a living be nice anyway really i mean everybody's just trying to make a living absolutely and there's no reason to you know make you know i i like all of us have trans friends and it's really hard enough and then to have to deal with this seriously make an effort come and put on the money you got enough money you've got you make millions yeah you do you do and you want tea ups too anyhow um i hope that the tips go to their drivers right now for sure i always give them cash but that's just me do you you're going to give me cash what bollywood style bollywood yeah okay naked anyhow um this is a very very beautiful story coming up a legacy to be discussed and rice's impact on the gay community remembered famed novelist anne rice passed away saturday at the age of 80. rest in peace while she will be first and foremost be remembered as an iconic writer of gothic horror most notably to her vampire chronicles series her advocacy for lgbtq press rights and steadfast support of her enthusiastic gay base gay fanbase would become an essential part of her legacy way to go her son christopher rice who is gay and himself an accomplished writer shared the news of his mother's passing on her facebook page sending her hug christopher through the screen rice wrote the first and f first and most famous book in the vampire chronicles series interview with the vampires in 1976 at the time she was mourning the loss of her five-year-old daughter michelle one of her two children with poet stan rice and and that even makes it more powerful that you you can come up with something where you're going through that the domestic plot line and erotic dialogue made the noble ripe for queer readings it's getting spicy everybody let's get tune up everybody which rice would confirm over the years in a 2012 interview she called louis and lestat the first vampire same-sex parents and i just got excited and she later said that claudia was likely unconsciously inspired by her daughter while she and stan were the inspirations for the vampire fathers so creative in a 2017 interview she said regarding the many queer characters in her books i think i have a gay sensibility and i feel like i'm gay because i'm always transcended i've always translated gender and i've always seen love as transcending transcending gender in my books i've also created bonds of love i'm sorry the reason i'm struggling reading as you can see that i usually know how to read english isn't it amazing when you talk about transcending everything is i mean for a moment you think about we know we do have the power to transcend no matter what we are feeling no matter who we are dealing with and and people have been doing this and we just have to keep reminding everybody let's transcend through love anyway the story so back to the story so what do you think about the story i think it's very powerful and i think it shows that you can super creatively in your through your own life through your own experiences create work which creates legacy and that shows that everybody has an opportunity to do that i mean i love anne rice from her grief came brilliance and she understood us and she wrote to us yeah amazing the queen is dead long live the queen yes no i mean i i i think that someone who has dedicated so much um to allyship and so much to um providing um that home in literature um you know for our community i think that's so so impactful and so well anna rice thank you for giving me my first boy on boy dream you know tom cruise and brad pitt that was it now and rice can you do us a favor and haunt jk rowling yes how do you come up with this anyway i was just having a moment literally a trier was about to come back boom it went right back up anyhow uh okay uh lgbtq plus flash news new biden appointee is out gay atlanta official late last month the joe

being a man of your work [Laughter] finally tonight we queer up gay culture queer news tonight celebrates a year of lgbtq plus milestones the year is almost at its end so here at queerness tonight we want to look back at some of the lgbtq plus milestones from 2021 from a record number of lgbtq athletes competing in the olympics to jojo siwa's historic run on abc's dancing with the stars here are a dozen queer milestones we're thankful for this year first we want to celebrate jojo siwa on dancing with the stars reality star and youtube sensation jojo siwa 18 made history on abc's dancing with the stars as the first competitor in the show's 30 seasons to dance with the same-sex partner siwa and her dance partner jenna johnson finished in second place after their groundbreaking run next we want to celebrate the record number of lgbtq plus olympians this year's tokyo summer games was dubbed by some as the rainbow olympics for its record number of lgbtq competitors at least 186 out athletes from around the world were present at this year's competition more than triple the number at the 2016 real summer games perhaps even more impressive is that these queer olympians earned 32 individual and team medals in tokyo some of our milestones are more about acceptance within our own community like the popularity of the adorable funny old gays tick tock stars robert reeves mick peterson bill lyons and jesse martin known collectively as olga's achieved fame this year for their viral video showing everything from the hilarious reactions to cardi b's walk music video to sharing their coming out journeys to look back on the loves of their lives i do have a personal milestone i want to share so i i'm so appreciative for this platform for me personally you talk about acceptance and love we struggle with that often i have struggled with that and i was really struggling to come back and do anything in media or just showing up and i did and i'm so grateful for that so thank you thank you for all the support all of you thank you and i'm having a great time this first time we've been i'm having a great time we also want to celebrate the many celebrities and athletes who came out this year actor and singer demi lovato came out as non-binary in may and said they would be changing their pronouns to they them other celebrities include public figures to come out this year that include nfl player carl nassaf the first nfl player to come out while still playing brothers osborne singer guitarist tj osborne and actor cassandra peterson better known to all of us as elvira love

say what and i'll come out that is inspiring what else happened there's so many different things happened this week this month this year this year one of the things i want to get back and i know this is a positive list but i want to get back to um carl nasim coming out um his coach was publicly supportive but had just weeks later it was revealed to have a long history of misogynistic homophobic um and eat racist uh tweets and emails not tweets emails and he was fired so not only did they accept a gay player they also at least publicly are rejecting homophobia in the nfl and that is as much of a step forward as the other yes it definitely is absolutely was there anything on this that wasn't on this list that you guys think that should have been on here i was thinking about elliot page like

EmacsConf 2022: Results of the 2022 Emacs Survey - Timothy (he/him)
Hello everyone and thanks for tuning in. I'm Timothy, and in this talk, we'll be going over the 2022 Emacs User Survey. Since this is the first time we're discussing this, we'll be going over the survey itself a bit, how it's being put together and run, and then we'll have a little taste of the results with more analysis to be published in the future. To start with though, a bit of background. So in 2020, we had an Emacs User Survey run by Adrien Brochard. Now this is, to the best of my knowledge, the first time that a large-scale Emacs User Survey has actually been run. About 7,000 people responded to the survey, so in many respects, it was quite successful. And what's significant about this is that with this being the first time that a large-scale survey has been run, it actually provided some insight into questions about how the community is using Emacs that allow for much better guesses than just speculation based on the small number of people who respond on the mailing list usually. So, why are we doing another survey? Well, to start with, in order to get the most value out of an Emacs User Survey, it's quite helpful if the information in it is recent. Furthermore, we can actually get some more value if we can examine trends, shifts in the way that people are using Emacs, where the pain points lie, what people are enjoying the most, etc. So in both of these respects, it's to our benefit if the survey is actually a regular event, instead of just something that's run once. Now, with this in mind, we ran the 2022 Emacs User Survey with the plan that this will actually become an annual event. In the design of the survey, there are a few goals here. The main one is of the user community. Now, user community is a rather nebulous phrase. In this case, what's meant in particular is value in questions, for example, things like pain points with Emacs, which versions people are using, which capabilities people are making the most use of, which could potentially be helpful to both emacs-devel but also our collection of Emacs package maintainers and the whole community. Actually, I think going beyond just the packages, we've also got the people who develop tutorials, guides, and all of that sort of surrounding activity, which can benefit from a clear understanding of how Emacs users use Emacs. Separately to that, I think as an Emacs user myself, that it's rather interesting to see how other people are using Emacs and what their experience is. So yes, basically, you've got utility and interest as the two separate driving factors as we try to pick questions, which actually can give us all of this without taking up too much of the respondents time. Now, last time in 2020, the Emacs survey that Adrien ran used, I think Google Forms, if I recall correctly, with an option to send in responses manually. This worked, but it's not great, particularly given that this is for a survey being run in an ardently FOSS community. Ideally, we actually want to find a survey framework that respects the priorities of users, is open source, ideally free and open source, and is a relatively pleasant experience. Unfortunately, looking at available options, it seems that one always has to compromise on at least one, if not all of those criteria, which is quite far from ideal. So what's the obvious solution? Okay, we should just write a new survey framework. Obviously, this is easier said than done. But around a year ago, I actually started doing exactly this. I've used the programming language Julia quite a bit on a day to day basis. And there just so happens to be a web framework for that called Genie. So I thought I'd give it a shot. And well, here we are today. I ended up putting something together, which could take a set of questions written in Julia and using a survey library, actually pass that into this helpful structure and then construct HTML forms based on that, and ingest results from the HTML forms, and just sort of handle that altogether. Now, all of this ends up being fed into an SQLite DB. So everything's there, even part responses. One of the goals with the actual design of this has been to just minimize what's actually done on the client side. So that means JavaScript, cookies, the whole lot. Basically, as far as this could reasonably be taken, we've just got static HTML being shoved to the user, or respondent rather. And then we just take an HTTP post request back and update the results that way. Now by doing things like actually paging the survey, we can allow for incremental saving of results and a few other niceties while essentially preserving an experience that doesn't really require any data of any particular capabilities, which is sort of a nice, clean, minimal experience as far as I'm concerned. So how does this actually look like in practice? Well, one of the nice things about this is because the question itself is written in Julia, we can get some nice features like custom validators and other fancy behavior and directly specify how we actually want questions to be registered in the database. So here we have, for example, two questions we had from this email survey. One is a multi-select. Another one is just putting in the number of years people have used Emacs for. I think this gives a brief overview of the capabilities. One of the things I'd like to draw particular attention to here is in the multi-select, you'll see an array of options, the first one of which actually maps for different value to be stored for convenience. And then the final one is a special one, :other, and you can see that's a bit different to the rest where it's got that colon function, it's a symbol, not a string. And this is quite a nice one because the way that this framework's been designed, when we have an :other value like that, instead of it just being a sort of tick box "Other", it actually provides the option to write your own different response to all of the above. Okay, so at the very end, we've now got a completely FOSS survey framework, rather nice. So the set of what were these... Decent array of input types. It would be nice to expand, but at the moment I think we could just about describe it as a rich set. Zero JavaScript required, but a little bit useful for progressive enhancement. As demonstrated, we can get some fancy validation going on. And then because we've got the results tied into this quite nicely, we can actually have them available live and in quite a number of formats. I'm not sure how much you saw in the architecture diagram, but we've got all sorts of things here. CSV, TSV, plain text, JSON, just grab a copy of the SQLite database, but only the relevant bits. Or something called JLD2, which preserves a lot of type information and a few other nice things. Now, what are we going to do going forward from here? Well, there are a few minor issues here. For example, there's a memory leak issue which is going on, resulting in the service being restarted, I think every day or two, while the survey was running. I actually have the suspicion that that's largely responsible for about 1% of respondents, which is about 75 people, who described the survey experience as not great. Overall though, the feedback has been quite positive. There's been some detailed written feedback, but just from the quick great/okay/not great options, we had about two-thirds of people saying that the user experience was great, which is really nice to hear the first time being run. A few other things would be nice to add, for example, in future control flow. By this, I mean the option to present different questions based on previous answers would be quite nice to streamline the experience. For example, having a set of questions for first-time respondents or people who are involved in the packaging side of things without actually cluttering the experience for everybody else. That'd be quite nice. Further to this, all of this, I think on top of the standard web interface, it'd be quite nice to actually write a server API. And the particular reason why I mentioned this is because this could potentially allow for basically an Emacs survey package. I mean, we already use Emacs for so many things, might as well fill the survey out from within it as well. Okay, so this is how the survey has been conducted. Now, what are the responses look like? Now, at this stage, I was actually hoping to get into some somewhat sophisticated analysis because there's quite a bit that you can dig out of the data responses that we've received. However, unfortunately, I've been much more limited on time than I'd hoped for, so that's going to have to come later. For now, we're just going to take a bit of a peek at some of the really basic answers. Well, it's not even really analysis. Expect to see lots of pie charts, basically. But there's still a bit of interest there, so we'll go through a bit of that and just give a bit of a tease as to what might come in the future. So to sum up for starters, we've had about 6,500 responses. It is worth noting that a thousand of those are partials, so people who gave up on the survey partway through. Given that the 2020 survey had about 7000 responses, I'll tell you we're basically on par here. This ran over a month and interestingly, about half of these respondents did not participate in the 2020 survey. I think at this point, it's not really clear what to make of that. There's been a two-year gap between the surveys. It's been done, well, it's been done quite differently, and yes, there's not enough, really, to say. What could be interesting though is actually, once this starts running regularly, we can see whether there's regular churn in the survey respondents, or if we have a consistent core with people who respond each year, and then just people who come by every now and then and go, "Oh, why not respond to this year's survey?" But we're going to have to wait a bit to actually see how people treat the survey. Now these responses came from quite a wide range of places we've got 115 nations represented here. Collectively, these ones have spent about a thousand hours giving us information. So I think, if nothing else, just from the effort that people have put into actually giving us useful data to work with, it's worth giving at least a good effort to actually trying to extract some value out of these responses. Now, overall we found a lot of responses came from America, no surprises there, but as mentioned, we've got a good mix around the globe. The usual suspects for the rest of the responses, a whole bunch in Europe, a whole bunch around Asia, a bit in Australasia as well and yes, there's nothing particularly surprising here, there's a lot of inline expectations. What I find a bit more interesting, though, is if we actually normalise the number of responses from each nation by the population of said nations, essentially giving a popularity of Emacs or at least of Emacs early respondents for each nation, we end up finding that Europe, particularly Scandinavia, becomes a bit of a hotspot. So I'm not sure what's going on in Sweden, Finland and Norway, but it seems to be particularly popular around there. It's also worth noting that we now find that the proportion of respondents in countries like America, Canada, Australia and most of Europe actually becomes quite comparable with each other, which yes, once again, sort of lines up with these responses, expectations from the last slide. Okay, getting into some of the other demographic information. The demographic information was new to this survey. In the 2020 survey, people were asked what they think of being asked about some demographic information in a future survey, and the overwhelming response is, "Sure, I don't really mind." And so that's what we've done here. One of the ones of somewhat interest is the age gender breakdown. So we expect Emacs to be used predominantly among people in software and programming and within the industry, I think it's quite widely documented to have about a sort of 75-25%, roughly, split between male and female. Interestingly, in Emacs, it's a much more aggressively-biased result. So we had about 96% of respondents are male with just 4% for the rest. Interestingly, though, if we look at the young respondents, say for example, under 25, we go from 96% male to 88%. So it's fair to say that the young respondents are in this respect, a somewhat more diverse group. Hopefully, as future surveys go on, we'll see this continue not die off to the sort of well, at this point, it's more like 99% if you look at the older ages. But we'll see. Occupations was an interesting slide as well. Interesting question as well. We've got the usual suspects here. I mean, it's a text editor, well, Lisp machine masquerading as a text editor, mainly used for programming, and so we expect lots of software development and that sort of thing. But that's only about just over half of the responses. We've got a huge chunk from academia, and then really just an odd bag of all sorts of other things, including things which you wouldn't really associate with programming and software at all. Things like creative writing, publishing, legal, yes. And then you've got this chunk of Other, which is I think here is the fourth most popular option here. And what we have here is about 500 different responses from a huge range of activities. It's really quite interesting to read things like I think, things like "naval officer", and just... All sorts of surprising occupations for Emacs. And I think this is a particular area because I imagine compared to other code editors, sort of your VS Code, remember like that Emacs may have a particularly diverse set of industry occupations represented in its users. Now, if you look at where the response actually came from, we've got the usual suspects up top, Hacker News and r/emacs. But then we actually get a much more graduated breakdown than in the 2020 survey. We do think familiar results here like IRC, Telegram, Emacs China, and Twitter. But now you've got a few new entries, things like the Fediverse, Discourse, Matrix, which didn't pop up previously. So I think this is yes, quite a nice sign in terms of actually hitting a wide range of pockets of Emacs users across different platforms, which bodes well for the potential representiveness of this survey. Unsurprisingly, if we're talking about Emacs and particularly people who are quite engaged in it, which are the respondents to this survey, we find that we also get quite a high degree of care for free and open source software. So if you have a look here, only about a quarter of users didn't express a strong preference towards FOSS software. In fact, we had over a quarter saying that they would accept significant or even any compromise to use a FOSS user software over a proprietary alternative, which given the nature of Emacs, not terribly surprising, but a strong showing nonetheless. Now, let's start getting to things which are actually useful for potential Emacs development and packaging. If you're thinking about supporting Emacs versions, it looks like you can do fantastically well in terms of hitting most users if you support Emacs 27+. That hits about 96% of respondents. Interestingly though, you can actually make an argument for being even more aggressive. I mean, if you have a look at Emacs 28+, that's still over three quarters of respondents. We've got, at this point, a quarter using the unreleased HEAD version, even though it's getting close to release. Obviously here, as stated, we're hitting a sort of more engaged with the community subset of Emacs users, but still, I think it's interesting to see that with Emacs's increasingly frequent update schedule, that users are actually picking up those updates quite promptly as they roll out. Continuing on with how people actually use Emacs: languages. We've got the usual suspects here: lots of Python, quite a bit of JavaScript and C, lots of shell. What I find quite interesting though is if we actually bring in the 2020 Stack Overflow language usage survey data, and that maps quite well to the array of language options we provided here. They had a general Lisp option, which I've folded into Common Lisp since they listed Clojure separately. I think that seems like a fairly safe bet. But other than that, the only languages that we missed are Scheme and Elisp. What we can do is we can look at the relative popularity of different languages from our Emacs user survey compared to Stack Overflows. What do we find? Well, Clojure and Common Lisp far above the rest, I imagine in no small part due to the fantastic SLIME and Cider packages. Following that, we see Haskell being particularly prominent, and then a collection of other languages, your Erlang, Elixir, Julia, Perl and the rest. And then lastly, if we have a look at the ones which have significantly diminished popularity compared to Stack Overflow, we end up with, I think, what I could probably cast as more enterprising languages. Things like C#, Java, Typescript and the like. So, that's interesting. Now, earlier when we were looking at the split of Emacs users, we found that we actually had a fair few in more creative areas, like writing and publishing. So if looking at prose, we'd expect a decent chunk to be using Emacs for prose, but it's actually more than just a little bit, it's a little slice. We've got a whopping about a third of users saying they frequently use Emacs for writing prose. I'd imagine that the availability of things like Org mode and AUCTeX probably help like this. Moving on to other packages, or more packages, we've actually got a very similar split here to the 2020 survey. Org has seen a bit of a growth in popularity. We've got some new arrivals here as well. For example, Vertico has popped onto the scene and overtaken Ivy here, along with a few other new packages like Consult. Other than that, quite comparable. What's rather interesting, though, I find here is that when you have people who listed a small number of packages, they actually predominantly listed packages other than the most common set. So if we have a lot of people who only listed one package, basically two-thirds of that, or actually three-quarters of those responses were saying other packages, despite the fact that overall packages other than the highlighted selection here only constitute a quarter of responses. So there might be something a bit more to look at there. Now when people are using packages, we also asked what types of documentation people would like to see more of on package READMEs. Basically we've got a big mix here. It seems like generally people are interested in seeing more in various forms, whether it be tutorials, overviews, screenshots, comparisons, or clips and videos. So full READMEs with a lot of context seem to be quite desirable from this. Now moving forward, what are we going to do? So 800 people gave some detailed feedback on the survey. That's quite nice. I'm going to be taking a good read of all of those responses and use that to improve the process and also the set of questions. Now all of you can also give some feedback on the questions, both that you found most useful in this survey, ones that you think might not add much value, and/or new questions that you think might be a good addition. Once I've done a bit more analysis, particularly the more sophisticated analysis which I'm planning, which will probably come out actually maybe in the first quarter of next year, we can see which questions there seem to have provided the most interesting or surprising results and those are probably worth keeping. Lastly, once we actually have an API and potentially even an Emacs package, we could automate a large number of the questions, things like Emacs version, set of packages used, and that could just streamline the experience of actually filling out the survey, make it a bit more frictionless. Now talking of the question of questions, a quick survey is a good survey. If we're asking people to dedicate their time to fill out this, it's good to try to get as much value without asking them to donate much of their time. How has the survey done in this respect? I'm actually very happy with how it's done. We get a few comments from the feedback saying that it was a bit of a long side, but the median time was about 12 minutes, which doesn't seem too bad, and most commonly we saw people completing it in about 8 minutes. For a once-per-year survey, I think this seems fairly reasonable. Getting closer to a 5-10 minute range would be nice, but this isn't far off. Lastly, we're also going to be considering how long the survey is open for. So from the initial opening date, what we have here is a plot of the page which people ended up on and when they started the survey. So what we can see is a huge spike in the first few days. I've just realised that this plot is actually labelled incorrectly. Please disregard the minutes to complete the survey. This should be days after survey opening that a response is actually submitted. And what we have here is a big spike in popularity in the first week basically, and then it trickles down to a fairly consistent level after that. I'm about to publish a last call for survey responses, so I'll see if any final bump happens, but this indicates that we can probably just have the survey open for a week or two and that should be sufficient. Alright, so what's the general plan going forwards? Well, as stated earlier, the idea is to run this annually and then consistently improve the questions, the experience, and the analysis that's done. This year has been the hardest by far because a lot had to be set up from scratch. The hope is that moving on from here, a lot of it can be reused. For example, with my comments about more sophisticated analysis being down the line, once that's all worked out, as long as nothing changes too drastically, we should be able to reuse a lot of that work quite easily in future years. Alright, that's it for now. Hopefully, you've found this an interesting peek into how the survey is operated and some of the initial results, and hopefully, I'll see you around next year for the 2023 survey. Thanks for listening.

Let's Play Crusader Kings III - Mansa Musa - House Keita - Part 45 - Wondering Aimlessly
hello we are back and the first thing we're going to do is we're going to try to get sanyo come on youssef youssef actually said yes okay i'll take that and get whatever hook i mean our our contracts with the freaking clan people like he has a hook but i have no feudal obligations because it's a clan thing so i guess if i actually do get a dastardly liberty war do i really care because the only thing the liberty war would give them is it would reset the authority which i don't care about because like what do i really even get with the authority right like if i go here the contribution plus 10 percent like that's cool but like you know i guess i would i would like the authority but getting the usually the contract stuff because they get the they would get a hook on me i don't want them to get a hook on me but under these circumstances do i really care i don't think i do especially with the fact that the freaking abbasids are never ending never ending getting stronger and stronger by day absolutely despicable can't believe it if i was to go try to clear war on them yeah there they are there they are jesus i don't have that many men game tells me i do but i don't i don't okay it's all a lie it's all a freaking giant debate how's my son doing diplomacy he has he is a literal genius he's a mega brain you get chad i got strong blood which is funny i actually got that um what was i gonna do at the point oh i was definitely gonna probably go for that oh yes yes am i crazy or can i not no longer see the points associated with this oh did they change it they 100 changed it so i cannot you can't farm the bottom ones anymore i guess that's fine doesn't really bother me um i guess that makes sense look at that increases by 500 each time okay cool sounds cool my dudes so um oh yeah remember what i was gonna do i'm attack you kaneem is there any better province for us to try to go for in kane yes oink oink kane [Music] definitely putting in all the work for this guys oh yeah okay they're definitely fabulous but since i'm going here i have so much prestige permanently that i can just have the abbasids do everything for me and i don't have to take any of the risk with upsetting any of my vassals it's fine with me right the only thing we have to deal with is a stupid loud song thing i think i'm like let me give it a little like one or two more episodes and i think after that i'm gonna have to seriously contemplating bringing back my nice african music that i miss because i hate our government type okay and i love the music that we had so i am not i'm no longer enjoying anything here and the abbasids are coming right you guys are coming right yeah there they are okay i could sick the abbasad sids on anything that needs to die so this is that um what else can i do oh is there another castle over here i can upgrade what's that that's fine okay cool look at that guys and we got another thingamabob boom and we're gonna get exalted among men then we can go attack some pranks what a time to be alive got a friend that's cool kaneem is small is shrinking by the second nothing i can really do about the abbasids themselves they're just they're just gonna perpetually be super strong yeah that's just how it is i guess the franks are weakening crazy well the frank's are part of britain oh my god look at britania oh they got they got taken over their catholic norse catholic norse oh my god are these freaking sons of is that really what the england looks like oh look at that lost part of it to scotland wow okay oh oh i got lovers pox awesome also they removed the horn our horn is gone can't believe it and why on earth did i get this what's going on with this boys oh so wait what crazy are these okay so i'm at war with some random dude within kaneem cool i actually have to fight this what if i just wait until they they throw in the towel you guys aren't gonna attack me right cause i'm not gonna attack you but if you don't attack me you know we could just wipe peace out of this guys we don't need to fight each other until the end okay don't you worry i'm i'm just trying to live my my most peaceful life while i wait for the abbasids to destroy themselves is at the moment that's really the only oh my god bastards ah ready the armadas ready the armadas boys we gotta go do it yeah do it ourselves okay there we go you know this is just that's what we have to do there we go whoo i beat you in that fight okay now your white piece there we go guys okay nope don't want that now i want last thing i want to deal with is the cancer on society that is stress i don't want stress i want stress so little that i will even grant you whatever title it was that i just got over here wait um grant title okay i gotta remember what it what it was was it born new there you go boom be happy uh oh we got another theme of bob it means we're getting even closer to our almighty exalted among men i can raise even more men by the month really nice guys really happy oh i can construct more stuff oh i can oh we can upgrade the mines whoa whoa yo and i'm soon gonna have the oh crap i cooked on an ad oops oops okay eight months wait so we may spike in power oh yo i want that okay boom no i'll we'll go destroy the peasant rabble wow what a no one what an absolute force to be reckoned with 900 guys 900 men who can actually to be fair they're sieging that faster than i could which is crazy i'm really just really half of the series left is just me waiting for tech i gotta just wait for tex 16 years at a time but we will get it eventually uh hmm what are you guys doing you're not doing too well you died and freaking seemingly bounced back no problem okay [Music] um freaking house burbon or ball carlings can't believe there's still carlings in this world you think you would just destroy them what kept isn't that how did the irish get over here that is weird like the irish are over here in east frankia and we got a chechen a chech ruler a treach chech frankish emperor honestly amazing just truly amazing in every sense i think though the k the war i may i may go for is is england because why not honestly boink yes get that boar is mine you scumbag you're not my direct vassal anymore okay give me boor or is mine okay retract vassal it's mine i'll take two two two unhappy points from you i'm there we go oink boink yes nobody will dislike me and boink we got this back uh whoa whoa what's going on here oh it'll re-enable next month okay i want this back buddy yes um and i want the other castle back too yes so i'm hoping by the time that i die i should be able to increase our succession to [Music] primogeniture no that's late medieval but high partition i think is what i care i yeah high partition [Music] direct vassal [Music] hmm i think direct bashful what monster i mean i guess that's fine really i i'm fine with just completely revoking your from whoever gets it it's not like there's really anything anyone can do about it give that away i gotta remember what this i gotta give this away here we go okay and we're good and we're good we're back to making tons of money some money no i'm not i'm not breaking up any fights i'm just trying to make money here boys could i get the abbasids to fight another war for me what work is there any other oh my god do we do we dare do i dare just try and get them to fight oh my god we just unleash our hitmen what would be a good oh my god the byzantines just expand i don't want that um no it's not much syria thessalonika could be good that would be nice that would be so juicy to get from them i could almost do the hmm how's that religion looking they're actually surprisingly big hmm we're still waiting for this to convert i guess they're they're going along as fast as they can the freaking franks aren't going who do i declare my my crusade against i have a jihad open i i 100 i have no confidence that i could beat these guys myself to be honest what if i was to go over here no i have to go against the indians i think honestly like if i was to go crusade jihad these guys for this other aries i feel like that would be nice um trying to jihad's maybe something down here could be interesting okay we gotta keep speeding ahead we gotta keep speeding ahead oh buddy never mind liberty war okay this could be the fight i've been looking for okay let's see if i can speed forward and try to wait for them to kind of cut each other down and then maybe i will try to crusade them the franks myself i'll stand up thanos style with the rest of my my boys i feel like i should be much stronger than i am this is very unfortunate how things are going but i should be able to upgrade that there we go maybe what what i'm missing is i just gotta upgrade on my domain really fast is that it possibly let's think here um i actually know i need a fast forward for money we're getting we're working on that we're working on that i need to swap from this to this okay you guys are super strong there is a christian crusade for jerusalem i feel like they're going to win that because they're going to have everyone defending them so if you guys are stuck in your pointless crusade do i almost just go for england then again these guys are also juicy like they're they're both attacking each other you might know reject reject like these guys they're both going to be weakened right yeah look at that they're they're both losing men i need to um i need to stop constructing for a moment and save up some money more importantly i need some vassals okay so if i go to you and i go to like my daughter to you boom boom okay that's an alliance okay half brother with this your daughter actually just click on you you're not even married to anyone never mind uh yeah betrothed my daughter to you wait that's the wrong person wait did we get an alliance for that no we did that was just a waste of my time okay why marry my half sister to you is that an alliance that is okay okay trying to build up my army manpower because i'm i'm locked here at not being able to unlock everything or maybe i actually it is increasing monthly it's just my people are literally perpetually a war with each other so maybe that's what's i think stopping it from going up we almost got royal prerogative in 12 years i think it's we're gonna do we we have to eventually i guess we're just gonna have to force a war on the freaking god dang abbasids oh i almost want to wait for that to end so i don't have to fight them wait they are so weak they are so weak oh my goodness look at that found a holy order no thank you uh okay well i'm an episode there we have all the options available to us and we just have to decide who we are going to take down the brits or the franks and if you liked the video you can leave a like if you want to see more you can subscribe and until next time take care

3 Ingredient Biscuits - Sensational Sour Cream Biscuits - Old Fashioned Cooking
all right I have greased my biscuit pan I use a brownie size pan to make a two cup biscuit recipe it works great okay so I greased it with some Crisco or vegetable shortening and this is sour cream biscuits we're going to be using white lily self-rising flour we're going to use two cups there's one self-rising flour already has the bakon powder and the salt in it now this a sour cream biscuit so I have got an 8 oz container of sour cream which is equivalent to a cup so if you have a larger container just measure a cup and then we're going to be using a half stick of butter this is going to have a lot of butter and cream in it so I'm anxious to see how these turn out uh because I've not made this recipe before so we're going to be using a stick of butter and it should be room temperature and I'm going to take a blending fork and I'm going to blend it in to my flour until it's about P size so it only takes a minute to blend in shorten in or butter when you are using a blending Fork they are less than I believe $10 on our website if you want to get you one there's nothing like it they're wonderful it goes right through there and um I know sometimes people grate butter and I have done it even in the past and even have a recipe uh to grate butter but I would rather use the blending Fork than have it to grate it so once they look there's no real big pieces left it's ready and now we're going to add the sour cream to it we're going to see what consistency this turns out to be all right so you can tell that's not going to be enough sour cream to incorporate all of our flour so I'm actually going I think it should be about 8 oz per cup of flour so we're going to add another 8 oun because they got to be a consistency that you can actually Pat them out and make a biscuit with them this is going to work perfect so it's eight I think it's so I think it's 8 oz per cup of flour so if you wanted to make a smaller recipe you could use one cup of flour half a stick of butter and one sour cream packet but this is a two cup re recipe I'm going to go ahead and use my hand y'all that's the perfect consistency for a batter for a biscuit so let me get my sifter we're going to Pat these out and make some biscuits out of them I'm curious to see how they turn out so they got a lot of fat in them they got all that sour cream and they got uh bubble the butter that a two cup biscuit normally has we're going to put some self rising flour in the sifter move our mess out of the way and get some flour out on the [Music] counter be generous because this is pretty sticky going to get our biscuit dough out on the counter very curious on this biscuit recipe very curious okay it's a fluffy dough so I'm going to need it a few times so I needed about 10 or 12 times and then we're going to Pat it out all right so now we're going to cut them out and I'm going to use kind of a a larger biscuit today now these are really sticky in the [Music] inside cuz they got a lot of fat in them so I'm not sure how they're going to rise or anything but we're going to see I think they're going to be good though I think they'll taste good and I cut these pretty tall let me show you about how tall they are they're about 3/4 of an inch so this makes more dough than a regular two cup biscuit recipe cuz a regular one only has a/4 cup of shortening all right we're going to get these in the oven and I'll do a video so y'all can watch them rise up okay here they go I'm going to bake them at 450° see how our white lily biscuits turned up sour cream biscuits they sure do look pretty they're big and fat now I made these bigger than I normally make biscuits and I typically flip my biscuits upside down after they come out of the oven so we're going to flip them upside down right quick and I do it cuz Granny did it that's what granny did then she put them back in the pan I pull these apart let you see how they look and these look good don't they very soft they'd be good with uh gravy all right we're going to pull one apart it's hot y'all but it's not crumbly or anything it looks looks really good can't wait to try it I will put a little butter on it and try it well I guess I should taste it without butter first wow y' these just might be my favorite biscuits so far they ought to be with sour cream in them and butter man that would be amazing with gravy they're super soft like the mayonnaise biscuits are they're really easy to make so you're going to use oz of sour cream and a half stick of butter per cup of self rising flour that's all there's to it man these are good and pretty they're beautiful biscuits let me taste one okay all right let's see if you've tried the um the two ingredient biscuits and stuff like that they don't taste like this this tastes more like a buttermilk biscuit it's not quite as strong as a buttermilk biscuit but it's better than the two ingredient to me if you like Buttermilk Biscuits you'll like these yes they're delicious I would say they're really good I'm ready to eat one but now I would make sure that after I mix them up that I do put some flour in them and knead them 10 or 12 times before you cut them out because they're really sticky and pasty and you're going to want to incorporate a little bit of extra flour into them before you cut them out um these are absolutely beautiful biscuits nice and fluffy and soft and I really think they're probably I'm not kidding my favorite biscuit out of all the biscuits I make I will definitely be making more of these I can't wait to make them for the kids when they come so if you need a good biscuit recipe I'm going to tell you this one can't be beat and you don't have to measure anything um you don't have to measure out milk so that makes it simple too and it's already got the butter in it a lot of people can't even get buttermilk that's true so if you can't get buttermilk you can get sour cream yes so this is the biscuit for you if you can't get buttermilk um this is the perfect biscuit for you and it really is to me more like homemade buttermilk biscuits than the two ingredient with the whipping cream so give this one a try and um I think you're really going to enjoy them we thank you so much for watching collored Valley Cooks where we could like our Mas did bye y'all you'all have a great day love you time it's over now Tammy she just showed you how to cook it up like Mama used to do so go on out and have some fun now you're getting dinner done with Valley Cooks you're number one Cooks

Respirators: Your TB Defense
at a major medical center a registered nurse cares for an undiagnosed TB patient as a result of this exposure she develops multi-drug resistant tuberculosis the nurse is forced to give up her job for 2 years and undergos 3 years of treatment which includes the removal of half a lung five medical personnel are present during a 3-hour autopsy afterward they convert from negative to positive TB skin tests two of these infected workers develop active TB 8 weeks after testing positive in both of these real life cases TB was transmitted through the air from patient to worker proper use of certified respirators could have prevented these potentially life-threatening infections [Music] the National Institute for occupational safety and health presents respirators your TB [Music] defense for much of the 20th Century tuberculosis was a major public health concern TB sanatoriums could be found in all major cities and a generation of researchers work to eradicate this highly contagious highly debilitating and potentially fatal disease their efforts paid off effective drug interventions were developed and the medical community gained valuable insight into the mechanics of TB infection and transmission the number of TB cases in in the US began to decline at a rapid Pace with good reason many believed that the war against tuberculosis was over one at last but more recently the incidence of TB actually showed an increase reversing this decades long Trend the number of reported TB cases Rose considerably from 1985 to 1992 this despite the rigorous infection control standards of today's Health Care Facilities there have been documented outbreaks of tuberculosis in modern hospitals many workers have developed the disease during the course of such outbreaks and a small number have even died although drugs used to treat TB are usually safe and effective they may cause side effects in some people some TB bacteria have become resistant to the very antibiotics that were once so effective at halting the disease TB caused by these bacteria is known as multi-drug resistant tuberculosis or MDR TB as with many infectious diseases the key to reducing the spread of tuberculosis in healthc care settings is prevention tuberculosis is a serious disease that primarily affects the lungs although it can affect other parts of the body as well it is usually transmitted by drops in the air tuberculosis bacteria can be released into the air whenever a person with active TB coughs speaks sneezes or merely breathes infection can be detected by a TB skin test the infection itself May remain dormant for an indefinite period of time often not causing disease however infection can lead to active disease symptoms of active TB include cough fever chills and weight loss the first line of defense against the spread of TB in a health care facility is to identify isolate and properly treat contagious patients nearly all TB patients will become non-contagious given appropriate treatment special ventilation that removes bacteria from the air and bacteria killing ultraviolet lights can also help stop the spread in addition to these primary control measures special protection is necessary when you are in close contact with a contagious TB patient for these situations a very specific form of protection is needed the respirator a respirator is a device that protects the wearer from harmful Airborne agents depending on design respirators either purify or Supply the air breathed by the user a respirator can be a half mask full face piece hood or helmet when working in an environment where the air is contaminated with TB bacteria wearing a respirator can reduce your chances of becoming infected with TB there are a lot of different strains out there just the most important thing is be careful and realize that this is an Airborne serious disease your organization's infection control committee or respirator program administrator will determine when respirator should be worn and which employees are required to wear them furthermore OSHA the occupational safety and health administration currently requires the use of respirators whenever specific hazardous respiratory exposures can occur OSHA further mandates that only certified respirators should be used respirators are certified by naos the National Institute for occupational safety and health all certified respirators are given a Certification Number found on the approval label the label also contains other important information about the features and limitations of the respirator make sure that you are familiar with these specifications before using the respirator approval information can be found on the filter container or instruction sheet respirators that protect against TB have several different designs some designs are better suited to certain work environments than others a respirator that is appropriate and effective for a given situation may not be the best choice under different conditions although your program administrator will ultimately decide what kind of respirator should be used in a given environment you should always be familiar with the types of respirators used for TB protection respirators that protect against TB fall into one of two main main categories air purifying and atmosphere supplying there are two types of air purifying respirators the first type of air purifying respirator is called non-powered particulate particulate respirators remove small particles such as the bacteria that cause TB from the air you breathe this type of respirator is also known as a disposable filtering face piece these respirators should be promptly discarded when they begin to wear or become [Music] soiled some models achieve this through the use of replaceable filters as seen here particulate respirators offer protection in TB isolation rooms as well as other areas that may require respiratory protection whether their filters are replaceable or disposable non unpowered particulate respirators tend to be lightweight and do not restrict Mobility they are also the lowest cost type of respirator available however if a parate respirator contains an exhalation valve it should not be used in a sterile field such as an operating room an exhalation valve allows droplets in particles exhaled by the worker to escape which can potentially contaminate the surgical field therefore if conditions warrant respiratory protection during an operation make sure your respirator is not equipped with such a valve another kind of air purifying respirator is known as a p or powered air purifying respirator these respirators use a motorized blower to pass contaminated air through a highly efficient filter the blower is powered by a battery pack attached to the wearer usually at the waste the filter removes Airborne contaminants and supplies purified air to a face piece hood or helmet pprs offer an advanced level of respiratory protection and should be used when disposable or replaceable half masks do not provide adequate protection your employer should perform a risk assessment at your facility to determine when the use of pprs may be necessary like other respirators a half mask PPR can be worn in conjunction with a face shield for protection against body fluids as with some non-powered particulate respirators powered air purifying respirators should not be used during sterile procedures because they exhaust air contaminated by the user and those are the air purifying respirators that protect against TB when it comes to Atmosphere supplying respirators there is one main type you need to know about the positive pressure supplied air respirator should be used when greatest protection is needed supplied air respirators use compressed air from a stationary Source this air is delivered through a pressurized hose to a half mask or full face piece again your employer will determine when this advanced form of respiratory protection is necessary whichever respirator you must wear on the job always make sure that it is Nash certified you should also be aware that a surgical mask is not a respirator research has shown that such masks do not effectively filter out TB bacteria and have poor fit qualities most respirators come in three sizes and you will undergo a formal fit test to determine which respirator fits you best a fit check is something you do yourself every time you put on a respirator this is done to ensure that you have put it on correctly manufacturer's recommendations for fit checking are usually found in the packaging be aware that any type of facial hair from stubble to beards compromises the fit of a respirator if you have facial hair you should use a respirator that does not rely on a tight face seal such as a hooded PPR for individuals with latex allergy or sensitivity the latex seals found on many disposable respirators can cause reactions such as rash if you experience an allergic reaction talk to your employer about using a latex free respirator or one without a face seal your respirator will require routine cleaning inspection and other maintenance always follow the manufacturer's instructions when when performing any such tasks the manufacturer's recommendations should also be followed when it comes to disinfecting your respirator of course disposable respirators cannot be disinfected and should only be assigned to one person they should Simply Be discarded and replaced once they show signs of wear or soiling while they are in use all respirators should be stored in an area where they are protected from damage and contaminants such as individual BS if you have specific questions about respiratory protection you should consult your facilities program administrator OSHA requires that a formal respirator program be in place at every facility where respiratory protection is necessary your employer must provide a qualified administrator to run all aspects of the program If you experience any problems with your respirator like to Comfort or difficulty communicating with co-workers consult your program administrator for possible solutions or Alternatives never take it upon yourself to discontinue respirator use for any reason here at the hospital we train all of our workers here uh in orientation they go through the orientation program and we tell them all about tuberculosis um the fact that it is Airborne and that they're going to need to wear uh specific type of respirators we feel that we need to be vigilant at all times and they need to know how to wear their respirator and when to wear it all respirator programs are required to provide standard operating procedures in writing in the following areas permissible practices for respirator use respirator program Administration respirator selection inspection of respirators cleaning and and maintenance of respirators storage of respirators training in respiratory protection fit testing of respirators respirator program evaluation medical surveillance of respirator users most respiratory issues that you encounter on the job will be addressed by these policies should you require any additional information contact Nash at 1835 Nash proper respirator usage not only protects your health but also ensures your ability to care for those who need it the most more than just your own life may depend on it respiratory protection is not merely a sidebar or an add-on to your daily duties it's just as valid and necessary as all the other safety precautions that you take every day without the slightest doubt of their importance respiratory protection is no different learn the respirator defense understand why it is so critical and practice it without fail so that you can be counted among the Health Care Professionals who fought tuberculosis and [Music] won [Music]

President Reagan's Remarks at the US Military Academy in West Point, New York on October 28, 1987
President Ronald Reagan thank you thank you all very much thank you please thank you all very much general thank you and secretary Weinberger congressman Gilson Gilman general pounder General Gordon members of the staff and faculty ladies and gentlemen of the United States Military Academy I want to thank you for all your hospitality especially since I'm an old army man myself it was back in the 30s that I joined the Army Reserves as a member of the 14th regiment of the get ready now horse cavalry it's not true that I was at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1778 George Washington erected a fort high upon a granite point overlooking the Hudson to guard the region of New York in the event of a British attack and now for more than 180 years the United States Military Academy here at West Point has in effect extended and carried on that first mission for here we train the men and women whose duty it is to defend the Republic the men and women whose profession is watchfulness whose skill is vigilance whose calling is to guard the peace but if need be to fight and win more than a hundred and eighty years West Point in this time is established and added a luster to a proud story a story of courage and wisdom story of heroism of sacrifice and yes very often the ultimate sacrifice it is the story of men like Ulysses Grant the son of a humble tanner in Ohio who went on from West Point to save the American Union it's the story of Dwight David Eisenhower a Kansas farm boy who learned the skills at West Point that enabled him to command the mightiest invasion force in history and of Douglas MacArthur an acknowledged genius in war who showed himself during the occupation of Japan to be a genius in peace as well and if I may it's the story of men like General Fred Gordon the only black cadet in his class today General Gordon has come back to West Point as commandant setting an example for you and indeed for all young Americans of what hard work and devotion to Duty can achieve these last two names I mentioned General Gordon and General MacArthur called a mind a special moment in the history of this Academy for it was 25 years ago the general of the Army Douglas MacArthur stood in this spot and addressed the cadets of West Point and General Gordon at the time cadet Gordon was sitting where you are today it was a moment cadet Gordon would never forget just days from graduation he looked around this mess hall and saw war hardened officers moved to tears by the power of MacArthur's words the long grey line has never failed us he said were you to do so a million ghosts would rise from their white crosses thundering those magic words duty honor country and then he added this does not mean that you're war mongers on the contrary the soldier above all other people prays for peace for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war general Palmer ladies and gentlemen of West Point it is because you above all other people pray for peace but must bear the burden should that peace fail but I've come here today for I want to speak about relations between the American Republic and democracy's main competitor the Soviet Union relations that are likely to shape the whole course of your careers as professional soldiers I want in particular to discuss our present efforts for arms reduction efforts that may soon be yielding historic results but first some essential background from the beginning our administration has insisted that this country base its relations with the Soviet Union upon realism not illusion now this may sound obvious but when we took office the historical record needed restatement so restated we did we told the truth about the massive Soviet builder we told the truth about Afghanistan and Poland we told the truth about economic growth and standards of living that it is not the democracies that have backward economies that is not the Western world in which life expectancy is actually on the decline we told the truth about the moral distinction between their system and ours when our administration took office we found America's military forces in a state of disrepair today the situation is very different pay and training for our armed forces are up the Navy has been expanded weapons systems of all kinds have been modernized making full use of the technological revolution as a result of our efforts you in the Army will see the fielding of more than 400 new systems and we've begun work upon a dramatic new departure both in military strategy and technology our strategic defense initiative which offers the hope of rendering ballistic missiles obsolete and of ensuring deterrence by protecting lives not threatening them in brief we have replaced weakness with strength to turn now from background to specific substance the agenda of our relations with the Soviet Union is focused upon four critical areas first human rights because freedom is what we stand for as Americans ii negotiated settlements to regional conflicts third expanded exchanges between our peoples and fourth arms reduction in some areas of this four-part agenda we have seen progress cultural scientific and other bilateral exchanges have shown a dramatic increase since by 1985 meeting with mr. Gorbachev in Geneva in human rights - we've seen some positive developments some political prisoners have been released emigration figures are up somewhat and of course there's talk of reform in the soviet union of some liberalizing changes in soviet laws and of economic reforms that could give greater scope to individual initiative we harbor no illusions while changes have taken place in the Soviet system the one-party system unchecked by democratic institutions remains unchanged and yet we welcome such changes as have taken place and we call upon them to make still more it is in regional conflicts where a Soviet performance has been most disturbing anyone searching for evidence that the Soviets remain expansionist indeed imperialist need look no further than Nicaragua or Afghanistan our policies in these regional conflicts is straightforward we will continue to engage the Soviets seeking to find political solutions to regional conflicts solutions that eliminate foreign troops and return the fate of nations to their own people in Nicaragua we support the peace plan agreed upon by the Central American presidents last August insisting upon the establishment of full and genuine democracy in Nicaragua moreover Soviet bloc and Cuban forces must believe that nation this is essential to protect our own security as for the Democratic resistance in Nicaragua year upon year for seven years now they have fought and sacrificed and in it is the resistance the brave members of the resistance many of them no more than teenagers who have kept the Communists Sandinistas from consolidating their power and forced them into the current peace plan it is the resistance in short that is given Nicaragua at least a chance for true freedom and my friends I know you agree we must not abandon these courageous men and women these soldiers so let me promise Nicaragua will have its freedom and we will help the resistance carry on its brave fight until freedom is secured [Applause] [Music] and this this brings me to the final area on our agenda for u.s. Soviet relations arms reduction for here our realism and commitment are close to producing historic results it was in 1977 that the Soviet Union first deployed the SS xx the SS xx was as you know a qualitatively new and unprovoked threat against our friends and allies a triple warhead nuclear missile capable of striking anywhere in Western Europe and much of Asia mere minutes after being launched you must remember that NATO had no comparable weapon in its arsenal with which to counter this new force by 1979 the Soviets have deployed some 130 INF missiles with 390 warheads general secretary Brezhnev declared that a balance now exists in March 1982 they declared a moratorium on the deployment of new INF missiles in Europe but this was only a cover by August of 1982 the number of Soviet INF missiles had climbed to over 300 with more than 900 warheads how did the West respond in 1977 chairman or Chancellor Helmut Schmidt of West Germany led the call for the deployment of NATO's own INF missiles to counter this new Soviet threat and in December 1979 NATO made a two-track decision first the United States would negotiate with the Soviets attempting to persuade them to withdraw the SS 20s and second as long as the Soviets refused to do so the United States would indeed deploy a limited number of its own INF missiles Pershing to and ground-launched cruise missiles in Europe it's important to stress that the aim of this decision was not in itself the deployment of American missiles that was only to be the means to an end in the words of Valery Giscard d'Estaing president of France at the the 1979 NATO decision he said the deployment of Pershing tubes in Europe was a tactical exercise whose preferred goal was to compel the Soviet Union to eliminate the SS 20s well no doubt the Soviets wanted to test NATO resolve and indeed the deployment of our INF missiles had to be carried out in the face of sharp political protests and even mass demonstrations I remember speaking in Bonn in 1982 thousands of demonstrators chanted and marched and I couldn't help thinking what irony for it was to secure the peace they sought and the freedom they were exercising that we were deploying the missiles that they protested yet NATO held firm and yes it was when we showed strength that if need be we would ensure the credibility of our deterrent posture by meeting force with force that the Soviets after first walking out of the negotiations eventually returned and began to talk seriously about the possibility of withdrawing their own INF missiles I'm pleased to say that the agreement we're nearing is based upon the proposal that the United States in consultation with our allies first put forward in 1981 the zero option the zero option calls very simply for the elimination of this entire class of US and Soviet INF missiles according to this agreement the Soviets will be required to remove four times as many nuclear warheads as will the United States moreover the Soviets will be required to destroy not only their entire force of ss 20s and SS fours but also their shorter range ballistic missiles the SS 12s and SS 20 threes as I said all these missiles will be eliminated how will we know that the Soviets have actually destroyed their missiles as you know the Soviets have an extensive record of violating past arms control agreements so frankly we're not going to take their word for it any treaty that I agreed to must provide for effective verification including on-site inspection of facilities before enduring reductions and short notice inspections afterward all in all the verification regime we've put forward is the most stringent in the history of arms control negotiations and I will not settle for anything less at the same time that we've been moving forward on INF missiles we've attached the highest priority to achieving deep reductions in US and Soviet strategic arms even mr. Gorbachev has described strategic weapons as the root problem in arms control and we agree to that end we've expedited the strategic arms negotiations in Geneva much progress has been made in reaching a court on our proposal of cutting strategic Arsenal's in half the Soviets must however stop holding strategic offensive reductions hostage to measures that would our SDI particularly since the Soviets are already spending billions of dollars on a Strategic Defense program of their own and this happens or brings me to what happened last week in Moscow a secretary Shultz has reported he had lively sometimes heated discussions with foreign minister 7rz and general secretary Gorbachev well that was no surprise the whole range of issues on our agenda was covered there was important positive movement toward an INF agreement and there was progress in other areas as well not only in arms reductions as I announced earlier today foreign Minster Sheva Nancy will come to Washington Friday to meet with me and secretary Shultz to continue these discussions and let me repeat what I've said before summits can be useful for leaders and for nations occasions for frank talk and a bridge to better relations it would be good for mr. Gorbachev to see this country for myself I'm ready to continue and intensify our negotiations but a summit is not a precondition for progress on the agenda at hand when the general secretary is ready to visit the United States I and the American people will welcome him let us remember that we've reached this point only as a solid alliance an alliance made up of NATO Congress and the American people if we're to continue to see real results and to convinced the Soviets to bargain seriously this cohesion must continue now some of argue that when the INF missiles have been removed our commitment to Europe would have been weakened yet this is simply untrue we maintain our firm commitment to the NATO strategy of flexible response ensuring that the Alliance is capable of blocking aggression at any level in Europe itself we will return a large force of many types including ground-based systems and aircraft and submarines capable of delivering nuclear weapons and in consultation with our NATO allies we've agreed that further nuclear reductions can take place only in the context of a substantial improvement in the balance of chemical and conventional forces during the years of these negotiations new realities have come into play new realities that present new opportunities in particular in recent years we've seen the emergence among some of our European allies of a willingness even an eagerness to seek a larger more closely coordinated role for Western Europe in providing its own defense we Americans welcome this for these four decades NATO has in effect represented an alliance between a number of partners and one very senior partner yet today our European allies have risen from the ruins of war to vitality prosperity and growing unity as a continent and so I would submit that now the Alliance should become more and more among equals indeed an alliance between continents in the words of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger the time has come for our country quote to welcome a European identity and defense which in the end is bound to spur Atlantic cooperation this then is the accounting that I've come here to give you there ladies and gentlemen of West Point I believe that from time to time we who are your civilian leaders oh that that an accounting to you who bear the burden of our decisions but I've come not only to inform you I've come to enlist your help if we do reach an INF agreement with the Soviets when its provisions have been fulfilled in the INF missiles destroyed you will be assuming your posts as platoon leaders and troop commanders and even then when I and the members of my administration will already have been some years out of office your careers will only be beginning so I ask you to guard the future of the Republic use the courage and steadiness that this Academy is teaching you in dealing with our adversaries employ all your skill as soldiers and goodwill as Americans in preserving and strengthening the emerging relationship with our friends and allies and always always remain true to the values for which this Academy in our country stand duty honor country as commander-in-chief these seven years I've been struck again and again by the professionalism of our military officers and by the dedication of the soldiers that I have met in the field but one who impressed me most deeply is a member of the United States Army I never met his name was Sean Luke Tina he was 23 years old he didn't have the privilege of attending this Academy he was a sergeant a soldier like those you will command in this month of October four years ago Sean latina fought in the invasion of Grenada he was wounded badly wounded he was evacuated to a hospital in Puerto Rico where his father a retired Army officer joined him he slipped in and out of the coma and during a moment when he was conscious his father asked him Sean was it worth it yes dad he answered and then his father asked son would you do it again sergeant Luke Keenan looked into his father's eyes and said simply held yes dead duty honor country Sean Luke teen had died for the cause that the army of this Republic has always served from the hunger and bloody snow of Valley Forge to the heavy demands of vigilance upon the borders of Germany and Korea it is the cause of life as God meant life to be lived it's the cause of human freedom and so the proud words sound again today as they did 25 years ago and as they will at this Academy 25 years hence duty honor and country permit me to say as well that I feel something today of what General MacArthur must have felt your youth your optimism they give me strength and as I look out upon your young faces I feel as one who will depart the stage almost before you've made your first entrance I feel in my heart a great confidence in the future of our country for I know that you will defend that future and it's true the long gray line has never failed us thank you god bless you all [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] mr. president on behalf of the Corps of Cadets I have the honor of presenting you with this cadet full dress hat hold at our bucket this is for your illustrious leadership which exemplifies the Academy's motto of duty honor country thank you very much [Music] [Applause] [Music] mr. president on behalf of United States corporates I have the privilege to give you this parka so not only will it keep you warm but also remind you which side to be rooting for [Applause] [Music]

Entrepreneurship Responsibility 🍞...BREAD CRUMBS Episode 69
Entrepreneurship is on the pedestal and everybody thinks it's easy. It's on you. There's no blaming anybody. I don't think people truly grasp this idea of, you know, You can post the word entrepreneur on your Instagram profile and all of a sudden you are one. But I don't think people really grasp the responsibility and the difficulty and; just as the the title lonely at the top the the real real real side of it and I say that for coming from a place that I don't understand it. How to even process all those things but that's the cool thing about having myself and Joseph on this podcast is that he does because he's in it every single day and I have a tremendous amount of respect for that. And I don't know if it's something that I could handle quite frankly. I don't think everyone's born and equipped to be able to do that.

that reading so you guys can find all of that information in the description box below all right I'm excited to get into this video all right this is going to be an encouraging message impactful message from your higher self we have three different cards you can choose from card number one card number two in card number three all right let's jump into the reading all right if you guys were drawn to card number one this is your reading from your higher self for exactly what you need to hear for where you are right now channeled message from your higher self if you guys are looking for a more in-depth channeled introduction you guys can find that down below at the tarotchess.com if you are looking for more of an introduction to your higher self if you guys are drawn to card number one Dark Knight of the Soul you may have heard about this and many many spiritual teachings we believe that this is also called an ego death so let's just see what the overall energy is for card number one and why you guys were sent here and what you're currently experiencing all right last card number one higher self all right and at the bottom of the deck we have the Knights of Swords let's get a actual message directly from your higher self a text message as if your future self wanted to text you and and communicate with you a message that you really really need to hear right now what would that be thank you we have you need no reason to be worthy of abundance help is nearby I got your back all right so there could be something that is on pause here on delay and this is for a reason that's because there's going to be divine intervention and almost like a a tag team partnership here with you in the universe so it's almost like the universe is saying to tag me like tag me in we're we're in this together so there is a lot of recognition of your spiritual self and your connection to God the universe that you've never experienced before we also have 333 on the phone so that could be very very significant to you this I believe 1414 could be our 15 15 could be three through three as well or 444 I'm not sure so you could be a tourist you don't have to be because we have the higher font you are going through a spiritual enlightening moment in your life all right this moment that you're going through these experiences that are happening they're actually happening for you believe it or not all right so you're going through a lot of changes here we have the five These Are Spiritual changes that maybe you do not see in the physical happening but you can feel them they are also manifesting in the sense of aligning and showing you the truth okay so the truth is being revealed to you right now about people in your life about maybe some truths that you thought were true that were not that have been creating some of these realities in your life there's a new perspective on life being forged and that's the Dark Night of the soul that you are experiencing this is an ego death you are not who you once were you are letting go of the past version of you and this past version of you has attachments to it many many attachments is what I'm hearing and it is all about releasing these attachments but there's free will Here There Is Love unconditional love that's coming in and support from the universe and I'm hearing that it is time for you to meet your higher self which is probably why I told you guys about the tarot chest reading because it's very rare that I talk about those and through this experience it's like the darker it is the brighter the light is going to be for you because for some reason you haven't been seeing this light in your life so many many things are being turned down in the sense of maybe looking dark so you can see the exact pathway you know I always say it's kind of like that little light on the TV like the little power light it's like super dark in the room but that one bright light it's like where's that coming from and it's just a little beam that's what you're kind of looking for right now so that's what the Dark Knight of everything seems dark but it is almost like so it can illuminate your light more so we have help is nearby I got your back so once again this is also happening so that you can see this connection that you have so whatever it is in your life that just was not aligned with who you truly are is just up for questioning okay if it's not making you feel good you're shedding many many things many beliefs about yourself many doubts about yourself discovering who you are and there's a you're gonna look at life a completely new way you're being renewed restored so that you can see life completely differently all right so what is happening for card number one right now we have collaborations we have disturbance yeah for sure whoa that flew out and we have Readiness preparation Arrangement propped okay so you're getting ready to collaborate there's a disturbance once again this disturbance is to bring Justice in your life this Justice is coming from the higher font there's a spiritual connection that maybe you could have been avoiding it goes deeper it goes deeper there there is no there is no deep when it comes to spirituality it's just depth upon depth you go deeper and deeper and deeper so there are benefits to actually connecting with your spiritual self like there are life benefits that you're going to receive from this so this isn't just about like spirituality this is also about you recognizing Who You Are who are you truly without your descriptions card number one who are you without your descriptions who are you when no one's looking who are you when you're by yourself okay there's there's a lot here that I feel like you are going to be seeing yourself in a completely new light okay you are not like everyone else why is the higher font here for card one page of cups there is a path that I'm hearing that you're going to align with that you are to align with that could seem very childish look at this even the clown I've never seen a full card that looked like this this is the first time I'm using this deck and I don't even remember what it's called but that's what I was getting with the childish card your life is meant to be explored from a childlike perspective of excitement of fun of emotional fulfillment and for some reason this is in the reverse there's balance being brought into your life from your spiritual observations as well so it's going to benefit you because you're going to align with your dreams and that's where you truly desire to be okay there's a lot of things you thought you liked there's a lot of things you thought you wanted and it's just once again it's attached to the older version of you that's where the disturbance is coming in it's a supernatural disturbance so we also have the seven of Pentacles in Reverse we have the king of cups we have the five of Wands okay so there's a leap of faith that you're getting ready to take that you're being guided to take that's the it's in the cards it's divine all right there's something that you could have been waiting for we have the five of Wands here as well we have conflict all right and then we're gonna get one more card here for card one what do you want them to know they're here for a reason thank you all right Eight of Cups really having the bravery and the courage to walk away from what no longer is bringing you excitement what is no longer what you're in love with who you're in love with this Dark Night of the soul the light is the truth so the truth the light is being shed on a lot of things in your life right now and the truth is being revealed but you have to trust yourself to know that okay this is not in alignment with feeling good I'm not excited I'm not in love with this or this person any longer and I must be true to myself and follow that truth welcome to spirituality with the higher font more is being asked of you more honesty more authenticity okay that's why it feels like you're so vulnerable so bare so open okay right now in this moment and where you will be it's to open up your heart to connect with your heart we have a lot of emotions here all right we also have the king of cups and then we have the page of swords in reverse all right so there's a newfound perspective that you have not been seeing for some time now in your life I'm seeing that there's going to be an Open Door and the light is going to be shed on that so that you see that there is an open path for you there's a lot of self-love that is coming in because you're getting to know yourself more on a deeper level more of what you truly love okay this is these are you're reaching the depths of your heart the depths of your soul not everyone is brave enough to do this future self look at this you're stronger than any Giant can't make it up not everyone is brave enough to do this so your heart is a compass your heart is a goal your higher self wants you to know that on the other path of this leap of faith let's see what you can expect okay you're asking me to go to this deck okay you can expect stability Harmony and acceptance so that's what you can expect on this leap of faith you can expect to be okay not to worry about not having a place to go not having a place to stay some of you I'm hearing there's there's a lot of different changes and though it's the ones who follow their soul follow their heart that is going to align with their greatest version of themselves and what they're here to do your heart is leading you with the king of Cups here so what is it that you're walking away from card number one we have trap you're walking away from what makes you feel trapped if it makes you feel trapped you shouldn't be there in the first place you are freeing yourself you are detaching yourself so you can be free to explore free to love free to wonder free to believe okay you're going to you're going away from these people drama conflict low vibration low frequency and you're moving towards acceptance instability okay so we have walking away from turning her back on with the Eight of Cups this whatever makes you feel like a victim like it's a trick or a trap or like you're stuck or you have to be there and you're moving towards stability Harmony and acceptance so that's what's happening in your life right now and so spirit is really saying questioning is this bringing you Joy are you in love with this or them in love not love okay there's a difference between I love you and I'm in love with you you desire to be in love forever that is your true desire in your heart in love forever so we automatically as humans assume okay that means this one person forever no that means that you'll be in love forever with how many people is up to you but it doesn't matter if you're in love that is a higher perspective you are being you are being raised to a higher level of a standard because you're what you're seeking and Desiring is of a higher level of standard true love your true destiny what you're truly here to do with to collaborate with people who really resonate with you on a soul level that you feel safe with that you could be open with all right so dark night of the Soul who you thought you were who are you without your descriptions all right let's just see any other messages coming in for card one all right we have at the bottom create a vision board to manifest all your desires have faith in your dreams so your higher self wants you to have faith in your dreams right now and understand that you're you're not walking away from as much as you are walking towards what you truly desire and you must believe that you can actually obtain these things so creating a vision board is not just about putting things on a board whatever you're excited about you're gonna be led to search and then out of the thousands of pictures there will be a few pictures that you resonate with how do you know it resonates because it feels really good it feels exciting you see it and it's like yes that is your higher self communicating with you right then and there so everything on that board if you take a step back it is the life that you're actually here to live like for real the life it's the clues like Blues Clues literally like hey these are your desires and we as humans automatically think that we have to go and get them have faith in your dreams is just simply knowing that it is true and that it is going to happen and you just accept it and you move towards it and in order to do that now you have to align with that and move away from everything that wasn't that that you just got into because maybe it was comfortable maybe it just kind of fulfilled those lack beliefs in that moment that's what the Dark Knight of the soul is it's like you're going through the fire and the fire is Purity and Purity is just the truth and the truth will set you free even if it pisses your ego off it will set you free and that's what it is all about is lining up with that so as the higher font you're here to live a different life a life of your dreams so that requires letting go of what's not in alignment with your dreams most of you just didn't think you could attain them but in this life I see that you will you need nothing being yourself will inspire others so you going through this transformation is actually going to inspire a lot of people around you you don't have to explain to people why you're doing something they don't even understand they don't even follow their own truth they don't even follow them their own selves it is very rare for a soul to follow their true being this is enlightenment you asked for more and now you're going to get more but it's gonna cost you what you didn't want in the first place anyways because if you did you wouldn't be Desiring more a little tip for your spiritual journey is our spirits are being very contained in these bodies okay our spirit is very big it is like the ocean is the universe and God and we are just a cup of that ocean and that water just represents us spiritually and even that being contained in this body is a lot in con being contained in these small houses is a lot in these small positions in these small small small small small is what I keep hearing you keep making yourself so small but you are not meant to be small and that means that you're constantly going to want to evolve and desire more and that's okay but we cannot stay in situations just because they are comfortable because guess what you cannot prevent this deep desire for more in your life more love more peace more abundance more freedom okay it's it's like you cannot go against yourself for too long and going against yourself is saying I'm gonna stay in this situation because I feel bad or because I don't want you know it's an emotional something and so you're being called to follow your truth and to have faith and understanding that what you truly want is what you're being led to and you have to you have to know God the universe to know that this is that God is on your side literally to the point where you're like okay God you're leading me down this dark alley I don't even know what's down there but I'm gonna trust you and then people like myself very intuitive go down that dark alley and then it comes to find that maybe we find like a a crazy situation maybe a car seat or maybe something we needed to see or a baby and we're like oh my gosh if I wouldn't trust my instinct I never would have walked down there and found this and and it's like we don't know why we're being led down certain places but if you trust and know that what you're being led by is unconditional love and giving you the highest experience of Love here on Earth then it could be very hard to trust this guidance it's time to really get to know this and that's what I'm hearing for you car number one so this is your higher self is really really reaching out to you in the sense of wanting to communicate is communicating with you right now through your heart okay so you're going through a Dark Night of the Soul that's what's going on here and basically it's shaking up your life and aligning it to your truth and guess what the more you align with your truth the more your life becomes a dream that is the truth and that's why I even have that tattooed on my neck follow the truth because if I ever were to reincarnate in this lifetime and seeing myself I would want to see that like that's getting out of the Matrix following the rabbit when I say follow the truth like there's only three words that I would ever tell myself in another lifetime follow the truth literally like that's what this is all about because the truth is all that's real literally nothing else is real but the truth and when people ask what does the voice of your higher self sound like what does the voice of God in the universe sound like and I say finally I can explain that it sounds like the truth which is why when I say okay you might be a Taurus you might have a sibling you might be excited for this next Journey or if I say something you're like yeah that resonates that's because it's the truth and that's all that's real that's all that's real and so that's why you have to follow it because anything else is a false illusion that will eventually have to come crashing down and then we're like why did this happen well we weren't following Our Truth in the in the first place so this is all in your favor and you have to understand that everything is in your favor card one this is not happening to you or this is except you're Desiring more and we have to the universe now has to shift your life like a Rubik's Cube because you got entangled into all these things out of fear and lack and comfortability and not having this or not having that so you just settled in certain situations because it was easier manipulating certain situations so that you can it's like you don't have to do all of that like manipulating finding strategies trying to figure this out that's

body there's communication being presented to you do not avoid it okay so that's something that I'm hearing as well because it is likely that you could be over stimulating yourself because a lot is changing in your life very quickly so I'm hearing resting drinking water all right so there's a lot going on there I want to pull the current energy and just see where you are card number two higher self has brought you here for a reason you've connected with me I know I'm a high vibrational being on this planet so for you to connect with me in any way whoever you are I don't know you whoever you are card number two it is for a reason and that reason is because if you're connected to me I know what I'm connected to whether you do or not that's the universe this is the most intelligent Infinite Energy in this world there's so much more for you to know card number two is what I'm getting all right there's so many galaxies we are literally just a very small portion of this so there's going to be a lot more to open yourself up to when it comes to this spiritual life of yours all right so we have the Five of Cups the Six of Pentacles the devil and the magician I want to clarify the devil we have Capricorn energy here okay we have Justice lots of clearing of karma is what I'm hearing specifically for you if you were chosen to deck or card number two all right um I'm hearing for you your higher self wants you to really start trusting yourself and understanding which is the voice of of you okay the voice of you and that's very important because I feel like there are some things that maybe have happened that in the past that could be affecting how you feel about receiving in the future or the present you have a balance coming in in your life of receiving more but there are some things that you really have to detach yourself from is what I'm hearing okay we also have the high priestess yeah you're being asked to follow your instincts your intuition in this moment of your life right now because there's more alignment in the manifestation energy that you do have it's more than just saying I claim it in the comments this is really aligning with who you are as the magician this is real and don't lose sight of that is what I'm hearing let's get a text message directly from your higher self card to the person watching what do you want them to know higher self each day you should feel the exhilaration of being alive if you don't feel the exhilaration of being alive or feeling good it just simply means you're not in alignment with your higher self your higher self is just simply your spiritual self it is the self that is most aligned with your truest life's purpose your truest life's purpose it sounds like you have a lot of questions card too and that's really beautiful because I feel like those questions are what's actually leading you down the spiritual journey this is what's making you more spiritual more spiritual just means aligned to who you are aligned to Freedom aligned to true love spiritual is everything we truly desire but we don't know how to communicate it verbally we think it's a relationship and it's not it's love it's the feeling that it gives us the feeling of the home our Dream Home the feeling of driving that car the feeling of living a life that you're so exhilarated to live it feels like Christmas every day not to say there won't be a balance of having your down days which are just your days that you're just simply not aligned and you're gonna realize card two you'll have less and less amount of bad days the more aligned you are with who you truly are and what you're truly here to experience so there is more for you to experience in this life and I'm sensing being open to receiving that so if you're doing something and it doesn't feel like this that tells you right there where the work is we all say we're working on ourselves we're healing but what does that really mean what does that really mean cartoon okay so that just simply means a line with what would make you feel that and you have to literally connect with your dream what life can you imagine for yourself because even our imagination is puny it doesn't matter if you're like a billion dollars it's still very puny everything it's just there's so much more is what I'm hearing okay so with that being said I just want to see what are the changes what's happening right now for card two that is prompting all of this energy detachments once again from the devil okay so we have Aid Mercy charity and kindness all right so if you're experiencing a lot of this for some reason you think that you're alone each day should feel like Christmas that's what you're here for you're here to experience your highest level we have self-love at the bottom we're going to pull that because we don't have anything back here all right there is so much Beauty happening that you might not be seeing right away things are being aligned in your life and all you really have to do the changes are happening all around you there's so many changes happening and that's because your higher self is saying each day you should feel alive you're I don't know if you're a parent you might not be but a parent naturally wants their child to what have the best right don't you want your child to feel that way it's the same thing that the Universe God whatever you choose to call it desires for you literally it is conspiring to give it to you but then has to tear things down move things out the way just to get it to you to Aid it to you you're you know we have regret here with the Five of Cups we have crying you know she's crying but Spirits like hello I'm here there is a beautiful love that you've never in your life experienced that's coming from God the universe literally I wouldn't say working but has aligned this life perfectly for you to live your dream it is when we resist it that we get so much conflict so much feeling of defeat self-love also we have self-concerns self-healing and Independence can you feel whole on your own there's a power of feeling this without having to need someone you're such a lover you don't want to have to need someone to feel this feeling imagine if you can feel this feeling generated within you without needing anyone or anything any accomplishment any validation that makes you powerful this is what that makes you so self-love self consists of body mind soul yourself belongs to you it is not you and this is a very profound thing that I've heard the universe even share in my journey yourself is your body mind and soul yourself your it belongs to you it is not you so you have to love this you this you is your body mind and soul you know when you talk in third person that's that's yourself you have to love that self so much that you're in love with it literally in love with yourself and this is not just like I love you this is a I love me this is I'm in love with me it's a different feeling okay it's deeper it's like imagine that love you've had and cultivated for another person that you love so much whether it's a family member whether it's a nephew a niece a cousin a loved one an intimate one and had that same love for you it is a different feeling that you are meant to experience in this life so a lot of what you've been going through is to align you to get you to feel this feeling so you don't feel like you need anything or anyone because you don't you are love okay we have offense Madness unpleasantness I hope that you know that I come in peace we have calm all right we also have inner peace Simplicity and meditation so I see for you you are truly we have Team Network friendship let's get one more thank you stubbornness like I said card number two I come in peace I come in peace this is all love and this is how your the universe talks to you too it is just simply truth so I'm definitely sensing being open to help it says selfness mutis attitude and arrogance so this is yourself you can you can literally find yourself having a conversation with yourself like oh my gosh you are so stubborn like that is a healthy relationship with yourself because we have someone who's aware which is you of yourself's stubbornness understand The Duality here okay there's Alchemy happening Alchemy okay your self is stubborn your self is afraid to take the leap yourself gets upset at certain things right so it's like you have to talk yourself you have to be aware of yourself so that you can align so that you can be in more Authority and Harmony I don't even want to say control you don't have to control anything it's all love okay when you love yourself you don't have to do that think about something you love you just don't have to do those things so this is actually helping you manifest more meaningful relationships in your life and even if you don't want to hear some of this okay because yourself is a little bit can be a little bit stubborn ourselves are you know the more open to understanding that we're on the same team is what your higher self is saying the more pleasant this experience will be and it's not out of like having to surrender we think surrendering is bad like oh I have to surrender and do this and do it in my higher self it's like surrender should feel like you just made it to the shores after swimming in the ocean for so long let me let go and just lay on the beach and be carried by the universe surrender is a beautiful opportunity it's it's it's yes exactly it's an opportunity for you to let go and give it to something other than yourself it's an opportunity to let literally surrender because where you are right now is where you've gotten yourself but there is more for you to experience let's see what that is obviously feeling alive every day and and here's the thing this is what I'm gonna say I want to pull some more tarot to get some more information on this we have to be honest with ourselves it's crazy ourselves because ourselves will sometimes trick our own selves we have to be honest with ourselves and say do I feel exhilarated to be doing this yes or no and you have to be honest because you have to align with truth the truth is the light and the truth is that you desire more and in order to get there you have to be honest with why you're where you are now and that there is there is a truth that is guiding you that is on your side it's on your side it's not punishment it's not to teach you a lesson the lessons are created by your stubbornness your theory of resisting the tidal waves of the ocean okay your dreams and your desires are the keys to your fulfillment so what will bring you fulfillment and feel this void that we all look for in life you're living your dream living your dream obtaining your desires your desires are placed in you for a reason your wants you can obtain I want this I'm gonna go get it I want this I'm gonna get it your desires man you need the universe for that and that's because it is literally so aligned that every it's like everyone will be in your favor every opportunity will be in your favor when you take these this path because the universe has already aligned it so you have to trust this person it's like you have a teammate that's guiding you but you don't trust them you know what I mean so it's like I'm telling you your teammate this higher self is literally your best friend it is you guiding you to where you want to be even if you don't know what that is let's see what else you have for car two as we close out on what they're going to experience next thank you The Hermit Virgo some introspection some time to just seek take the time that maybe you didn't take previously to align with you to get to know yourself doesn't matter how old you are you guys I have people who are literally 68 70. still trying to discover themselves what they like that's like having a child for 86 years and not knowing what they like yourself is the closest to you how do you not know these things and then you get into relationship and then they don't even know and then you're not be if there's so many things that could be avoided with self-love and that's what you're learning so you don't have to go through any of this ever again even in the in the reverse Wounded Warrior you're not built for this [ __ ] is what I'm hearing like dead serious you're not because it's not you okay you don't want to be fragile and have your necktie or be stressed or worried about things or worried about money or stability here with the four of Pentacles that's because it's not in alignment now let's get any last messages okay from your higher self is just simply saying hey you're going through changes right now be patient with yourself and understand yourself get to know yourself take some time understand you have help nearby okay you could have been drawn to card number one for sure okay um but definitely you have help nearby anything you want them to know before we go card two just release say I love it and there you have it just release it just release it release what release what anything that feels heavy and not exhilarating if you're not in love with it okay if you're not in love with it if you're not getting that feeling okay so and look at it it's like I get it I get it I feel you I get it but you have to trust that something even sent me to you to tell you this when you look at the magic of this your phone works your phone could be broke right now my phone could have been broke my camera could have been broke this message could have been delayed to you like so many things had to be in alignment for this message to get to you and you're still here if you're still here shout out to you okay put down in the comments I'm still here because yes that's good that means you did not go against your stubbornness that means you're open so there that's that's really healing it's just being aware of hey you're not there anymore things too many beautiful things here um for you card number two and so when you understand all the things that had to happen for this to get to you it would have seemed impossible if I would have known beforehand like wait I gotta do this upload and that person has to be there you probably have to click the video I don't know where you are right now and you're listening to it you're spending time listening to it it's everything is divine so when you understand that everything's aligned and the universe sent me to deliver to you that you are loved unconditionally hey I'm on your team we're to In This Together and it may not seem that way but Justice is being served and it's just simply not resisting the current tide by releasing it holding on to it is resistance and so we think it's the universe's fault like ah you make me because I see a reality reality where you're happier so just let it go you know like that's where you have to really really trust and have this friendship with the universe is what I'm sensing so if you guys are looking to meet your higher self there's 333 of those videos that I just released of channeling messages directly from your higher self in the sense of meeting them how they guide you how they direct you what it feels like how your higher self talks specifically to you there's personalized decks it's on the tarotchess.com you guys can find that in the meantime I'm moving on to card number three if you guys were drawn to car number three this is your reading directly from your higher self card number three if you were drawn to this then you are definitely definitely connected to me in tribe you are certainly an Earth Angel and you are definitely a light worker if you don't know what that means it's just simply you are connected to the world so whatever happens in the world you're actually pretty affected by so with the Earth healing this is way more than you could imagine this isn't just like your personal life that you're connected to you're connected to a kingdom of light is what I'm hearing card three you've been here before and you are basically making a contribution to the planet through your spiritual journey so this is basically all about your beliefs and your generosity okay is the word that I'm hearing and what you are doing actually does matter even if it's just a couple of people around you you are literally touching them every time people around you they may feel like they've been Touched by an Angel that's really what I like to say after I leave someone because when you carry this light of Purity and you just stayed true to who you are even if the world has seemingly been harsh or there's a lot of hurt or maybe it seems like there's a lot of suffering in the world you are actually here to bring the light of the truth of healing and now this isn't a job okay I don't want you to think you have to heal people I'm hearing this very clearly for you that doesn't mean you have to set people free that doesn't mean you have to free people that doesn't mean you have to heal people that sounds like a lot of work think about that feel that energy all you're doing is being healed being free and this is naturally going to inspire and reflect in the people around you you will not have to talk about any of this it is just simply being an example of it so what you're doing actually matters and I'm hearing that you're being recognized by your angels you're being recognized by your guides that you're on the right track that you are being connected to something much higher than yourself the world may not believe in this energy but this is the energy that raises the frequency and the vibration of this Earth without these Earth Angels such as yourself very rare very very very very very rare people have lots of money people have lots of materials people have lots of friends people have lots of family members people do not have lots of light truth Enlightenment this is something very very very rare I want you to understand just how rare this light is that you carry card three it is transformational it is healing to the people that you are around unknowingly you don't see your energy being exchanged with people so you don't see the currency of it your energy this is man not me about to get preachy okay guys you're a light worker I don't know if you guys have attended a level 11 mentorship class that I have if you haven't please look in the description box or email me if you guys are interested in this you are an Earth Angel and you hold the keys to the doors of Heaven and I know that's a heavy statement to make and that's why I want you to know how serious this is card three this key that you hold your light is going to give you access into places that not many people have access into so your light isn't just about being a saint or being an angel and being perfect and all of that no this is about being true to who you are following your heart no matter what following the truth no matter what that is the light okay if you guys are coming from another card and this is your second card that you're choosing this is where you're headed this is what's next for you if this is your first card this is where you are this is confirmation your light is going to give you access to so many things do you know how many discounts I get just because of my energy my light people just say I you know I like your light I'm going to give this to you for free I'm like okay cool yeah I like you're like I'm gonna discount this for you I like your like I'm gonna invite you to this it's rare privilege and the people you have to see this light in the value of this light that you have okay now there is also a lot of assisting that's happening on your journey from higher self that is guiding you you here and you're not to lose sight of understanding that this is not your home okay this is just a temporary visit all right and so you're not of this world you are just exploring it and experiencing it is what I'm hearing let's get the current energy for card three we're mainly looking for major arcanas because of course this is a very spiritual person I'm connected to even if you don't know this for yourself just yet spiritual just means intuitive connected to senses outside of tasting touching smelling hearing you know those five senses all right we have the ace of cups in Reverse let's see what's going on with card three we have the world card we have the Ace of Pentacles all right so huge shifts in uh changes are happening in your life in order to align them with the opportunities that you desire and the Fulfillment that you desire okay so there is a completely renewed start that is coming to you card number three so now we also have temper and Sagittarius energy also on the board all right let's clarify why are these all in Reverse what's going on here two of swords we have some fears around this there's more to understanding who you are that's why when I say these things if you get excited when I say you know you're here to live Heaven on Earth you're here to Live Your Dream and by you doing that by you healing healing simply being aware of yourself that you're able to live a life that not many people are and that is actually what's going to be inspiring those around you now there is a Reconciliation that is still meant to happen tell me why the temperance card is here Spirit one car there's some fears here of this being that you are okay this being that you are and we have paranoia depression phobia all of this is simply coming from not being an alignment with what you truly desire not being in alignment with what feels good staying in situations until the depression kicks in usually if we're depressed that's when it when it gets to that point of view okay let's just see what else is here we have death endless endless harm inevitable okay so we have some fears here and also some people that you are attracting so we have gift let's see what this is about car three why are they here higher self you have a message directly for them thank you okay I'm hearing you're meant to be free from Time free from time okay understand and believe there's more than enough time in the day okay you have the power to shift your reality and make that true to the point that every time you look at your clock you're like whoa it's only been three minutes all right we're we are tapping into different realities if you guys are here so I'm seeing that you're meant to live Beyond Time Beyond a schedule Beyond The Matrix there's Freedom Beyond it so there's a definitely and I feel like you could have came from card one you don't have to but there is some type of ego depth that was necessary that you could be going through right now for you to get here your purpose is simply to exist okay you're already living your purpose by just simply existing I always say the first and foremost is to exist right that's why you were created to just exist and now you're here and you desire to experience but there's something within you that desires more in the sense of making the world a better place um maybe the people around you doing the best for yourself living in your full potential feeling there's more for you to explore and experience in this life more places to see more people to meet there's more your heart feels connected to so much more and that's why you actually are coming up at with the Earth healing so being connected but there is more for you to learn about yourself the temperance card is here there's a little bit of fear around this this person that you truly are this authentic person so you have a gift coming in here I feel like people are going to want to give to you because of your healing and we also have apology guilt confession and forgiveness what is this all about my friends don't overlook what you have to offer for it is valuable let me see what's going on here with this apology okay I feel like you could have transcended a lot of pain came from a lot of places did a lot for people maybe you haven't felt that reciprocation just yet I see more coming in the more you see the world as Heaven the more that you will see the world as Heaven everything will start shifting in your reality in your frequency by just understanding this we have a lot of low frequency energy I'm hearing taking care of yourself is very important we have confinement and we have bully captivity tolerance unfreedom embarrassment gossip unwillingness so really we have a few things here I want to get some clarity on these people pay attention to there you go you heard me say I want to get some clarity around these people right wow wow card three I'm just hearing you're not meant for everyone okay you're not meant for everyone and any of these feelings that you're receiving this could be past experiences this could be your own self that you've overcome a lot of self-sabotaging beliefs a lot of Shame you're getting to a place of not caring about what other people think of you but we have pay attention to how you feel around others this is communication you are naturally A Healer so you will attract people who don't know why they're attracted to you but that's because every time they're in your presence you're healing them whether you're talking or not it's your presence that is the energy it is your presence it's your aura so you have a lot to offer and it's very valuable all of the truth that you uncover in your life everything that you go through is a testimony to many people that will help many people it is a blueprint that will help many people so you didn't go through it for just any reason you went through everything you went through to activate your gifts but now it's there's more awareness of the ability that you do have and now it is really time to choose yourself to balance this you're walking away from low frequency energy it doesn't feel good to feel frightened depressed or bullied it doesn't feel good to feel embarrassed it doesn't feel good to feel trapped or confined feel the vibrations of these words when I say them it doesn't feel good to be harmed so what is it that you're moving towards three and this is also in your mind also is what I'm getting for for those of you who are really really enlightened here loneliness dullness disappointment and isolation so I just see that you have went through a lot you are an Earth Angel and this is sometimes the path of an Earth Angel you might find yourself wanting to be alone you're never alone but by yourself wanting to be by yourself and wanting to align with the energy that you're giving out which is going to be other Earth Angels and so that's why it's so amazing that you're connected to this video and the people in this video and the people in the comments who said I chose deck number three because that means that's your tribe they are you you all came from different parts of the world different devices different internet services things like all these things and you're connected It's gotta be you and another person so that's a really really big thing here so you're moving away from all of this energy you're naturally A Healer you're naturally going to want to bring the light to people but now I see you moving towards a new beginning where you are now receiving you have a natural desire to give but now it is about receiving because when you receive you're going to feel an optimal amount of Joy This Joy is going to feel very contagious thank you good news encouragement miracle and surprise thank you so I'm feeling the energy is Shifting here so walking away from energy that is no longer in alignment with who you are as an Earth Angel this is something you might find yourself dealing with very often because it is very rare so that should tell you your value if you haven't met someone like you that should tell you your value what you are going through is only temporary okay so you guys have good news coming in there is more to discovering who you are my friend even us as enlightened Earth Angels we even myself at the bottom we have them preparing your life partner so we'll get into that because I've seen it so if you see it it's for a reason right and this is how the universe communicates with you it doesn't have to be through cards it could be through all different signs and miracles there's more to discovering you because there's a lot of depth we're talking about discovering God discovering source so this is a lifetimes and lifetimes of information collectively to even discover and say I know who and what I am so never stop searching never stop discovering and the next level for you could simply be to start sharing your light with other people okay to start sharing this blessing yeah something's getting ready to shift in your life it's been tough okay you could have lost people um could have just dealt with being a by yourself because not many people are on this journey or on this path so I'm seeing a whole cycle coming in complete circle so I believe that you were brought here by your higher self to let you know good news is coming in and this is all about fulfillment your well-being and Enlightenment this is also Lord Ganesh and most people believe the god of abundance having a lot of material success it is your heart it is your light you are meant to be seen what else is here for card three from Future Self You Are Meant to Be Free okay so you are meant to be free this is the life that is going to bring you the most Joy the life that brings you the most Freedom so anything that made you feel confined you will have to walk away from in any aspect because it's not alignment with who you are if it makes you feel confined in the sense of being small in your mind you're letting go of it a lot of this is self-sabotage you're becoming one with yourself knowing and trusting that you are your best friend and I've said this in a live recently you are your best friend nobody on Earth will ever be your best friend like you period let me save you years of Spiritual Awakening to find that once you're in harmony with yourself it is it is a it's a different life because now your reality is reflecting a Harmony a harmonious life you no longer bully yourself instead you encourage yourself instead you feel like you're the best ever you know when you think of Mayweather and you think of these people who are just undefeated doing things that are impossible breaking records they believe in themselves listen to how they talk about themselves what's to come for car three higher self they're here four of Wands marriage Harmony can't make it up if you look up four of Wands right now the description is harmony Unity harmony with self loving self harmony with giving and receiving because when you're passionate about receiving and you're in Joy you're going to heal more people around you the healing comes through many different ways healing is sometimes just being seeing a possibility in another person oh I just healed what does that mean I let go of this disbelief that was attached to things that have happened in the past I needed to heal I needed to what be aware that's just it just be aware that's it and you have a gift of awareness especially if you're connected to three so you're connected to a lot of the things that around you people around you environments affect you so all of this energy is you're coming out of this and you're going to into this bright energy gifts good news blessings so yeah you did have to isolate yourself when you're by yourself is when you're going to hear from your higher self the most when you're going to hear from the universe the most so you have Harmony marriage Unity a life partner coming in so this confirms for those of you I'm just going to say this if you are single higher self wants you to know you're here to put ashore rest assured that your life partner is being prepared because you're being prepared once you go through this shift whatever you're going through right now in this timely manner now you're going to attract that version of you the version of you right now is not wanting and Desiring to meet a person in the same energy that you're in right now for some reason they're still being prepared which says you're being prepared so when you feel ready they're going to show up they're very close to you 2024 4 could be a big number for you if you're already in a relationship okay your person that you're with could be preparing for a deeper Union and that Union could be happening in 2024. I'm hearing your relationship is not meant to feel overloaded excessive or obligated or overwhelmed if you feel this way your life partner outside of this person is being prepared because your soul in your heart cannot lie it'll it simply desires true love and if you're not in love you will feel it and you will desire more so you will start to manifest a life partner so only you know where your relationship stands all right let's look at card number three last message for why they are here there's something that they really needed to hear and then we'll clarify it okay expect a financial breakthrough soon okay we have a lot of messages from your higher self communicating that tells me that you communicate pretty good with your higher self so that's really really good to hear all right and then we also have you are wealthier than you think you are brave for being you tell me what these last cards are about so you have a financial breakthrough coming in all right so eight of Wands may have felt delayed I do see that that is going to be coming in here very soon some Financial breakthrough that's going to make you feel a lot more wealthier so spirit is saying you're wealthier than you think so whatever you think is not true now how do you know how much wealth that you actually it's like spirit is saying you have a wealth of something a wealth of hugs a wealth of knowledge a wealth of smiles a wealth of expertise a wealth of peace I mean you have something and a lot that many people desire many people have on their board you as a manifestation whether that's because of your expertise your light they are manifesting you and you are looking to manifest them so with that being said you have a lot of wealth of something therefore you are going to attract a lot of wealth because you have a wealth of something so because of what your wealth is you have to you have to discover that is it your expertise is your knowledge and the people around you will tell you you are wealthier than you think so whatever you think about how much wealth you have spirit is saying times 10. all right so King of Swords last card here for what this is all about for the wealth and financial messages okay ten of cups in Reverse your financial wealth and success is connected to your emotional fulfillment how you feel okay whatever makes you feel good imagine going to a place where you feel good all the time you're going to have your best creations so there is a need to walk towards something more fulfilling here we go with the four of cups in Reverse like I just said fulfillment four of ten I always say the four out of the four of cups is like rating an experience a four out of a ten that doesn't sound very delightful so you are meant to go towards what brings you fulfillment so you have good news coming in you have a financial breakthrough coming in spirit wants you to know there's a relief here okay so if you guys made it here you are an Earth angel you are light Angel if you guys are attracted to this reading you can find more in-depth rings at the tarotchess.com or even just simply connecting with the community or the telegram group you guys can find that down below also so it was a privilege and an honor for me to read for you today I am definitely one of your Spirit guides along your journey and it's it's an honor and it is truly a privilege for me to be able to be myself connect with this beautiful energy and just simply deliver the light and for you to be open and that means the world to me because that means you and I are one of the same so I'm sending you so much love and light if you guys are here check me out in the next video I'm out love at night

spells fun for these kittens more than a good mental challenge 13. scottish fold cat the scottish fold is the happiest one next to their human owners they're so keen to participate in all the

to sit up on their back legs add to this their affectionate nature which they don't hesitate to show to everyone in the family each cat has a distinct personality you can use breed traits to hone in on those cats that are most likely to love cuddling with you but it's important to remember that every kitty is unique in his own way so not all cats from a particular breed will be exactly the same

Unlocking The Gold Maddox in COD Mobile
so let's just start a grind like officially officially let's do our our hip fires and camo what do we need how many more of these we need uh 13 hip fires and then no attachments I think we only need with no attachment ones 80 no let's get those 13 hit fires real quick no only got one hip fire you have a robot on our team one one three [Music] four four we got four I think that guy's robots five six seven eight nine nine we got nine oh Jesus let me check it after on which Instagram ah gosh dang I lost count wait how many kills do I have 14 I have 14 kills that should be enough right get two more just in case how many kills I need total I think like 60. well I get the 60 this game am I not can we just out here pull rushing please I need these kills no come back oh my God no stop knifing them give me kill ah pain don't win yet you don't win yet advancing away I need all these kills I got the nuke but I don't care I got the headshot come back here I need the headshot there too okay no I need to kill ah dang it we got the no attachments and the hip fire for sure all right so yeah we still need um actually we're getting quite a bit of headshots Actually All Things Considered we're getting a lot of the head shots and then tiger is the full attachment we'll get that so and this is long range the long shots are annoying where's the I don't know where the enemy is coming this way it's a lot easier to get a long time with this inside it's ready the first few shots have no recoil targets inside looking at me Bots all right we got a lot of long shots this game I love it let me put this down here as well oh man the enemy contact where contact for the enemy nice yes yes I got a new do I really care for the nuke I gotta get head shots and kills so yeah we just need headshots so 19 headshots and a million kills shots got a headshot there I love it get that headshot headshot got that guy there I got a headshot there what's happening I don't know if the echo ones feels good I hope I got no pet shots here headshot that's a headshot I love it I got killed by a dog lockdown these guys are pissing me off got a headshot that was heck of fast what the heck oh the heck about the obj nice headshot there are another headshot there I'm trying to get these kills here oh bruh all right we got all the headshots so now we just need about 50 more kills where the heck foreign where's this guy here no please foreign oh I nuke these guys all right let me nuke these guys well they didn't know I nuked them good job yay let's go we got gold I think this is the right build that I liked put the gold on this bad boy oh that's cool the Barrel's gold that's actually nice that's some fast reload oh that's cool it's like a different you can't you can't even see it like you can barely see it because of how how big of a gun it is there you go these guys are spawning let me uh geez Louise these guys are getting obliterated what the heck destroy oh Lord have mercy I hear this guy where'd he go I hear the footsteps contact Advanced UAV is ready oh no man's UAV is online yeah okay what oh rotate next point we're already here okay all righty oh my God I'm actually demon people here do these guys all have freaking cold-blooded it feels like it foreign oh my God I almost died again oh my God oh that's a teammate I thought it was enemy for sure makes no sense for it to be it oh my god well we're popping off okay and we got here ah I didn't know there was one more guy let's try again coming well we just need that one second we are bopping though

QCCA-Secure Generic Key Encapsulation Mechanism with Tighter Security in the Quantum Random Ora...
hello welcome to my talk this talk is about qcce secure generic key encapsulation mechanism with tighter security in the quantum random oco model first let's record some background okm so fujisaki akamoto transformation is a well-known and widely used generic key m it can turn a cpa secure pke into a cce secure km and the reduction proof is tightly in the random oracle model or rom however facing with the threat of quantum computer we need to analyze it in the quantum random orca model or qrm in 2017 orphans and others decompose the fo into two transformations named unt they analyze the term and their variants into rom and qrom several works are devoted to improve the reduction tightness in the qrom but they all suffer from the square root advantage loss until last year good start and the answers gave a improved runway to hiding lima name the measure we win one measure one way to hide it using it the loss is reduced to about d square here d in the query depth to the random outcomes on the other hand seido ando introduced a new security the ds for public key encryption scheme in 2018 they gave a transformation named sxy that can turn a ds secure ppe into a cca secure key app handy this transformation is similar to a variant show you except that there is a re-encryption check in the decryption algorithm they also give to transformations named kc and t-punk that can turn runway or cpa secure pke into dn secure pte however they all suffer from the square root advantage loss besides they require to underline pke to be perfectly correct next year they should send the transformation sx y even can turn dn security to qcc security tightly qcca is a stronger security notion than cce it will allow the anniversary to make quantum queries to the decap solution occur in our work we reduce the security loss of kc to abort d using the measure we want measure one way to hide it once more we remove the requirement of perfectly correctness and we prove the combined transformation sxy kc and t can turn any cpa secure pke into qcca secure kem with loss about d square the combined transformation x x y and t c can turn any one way cpa secure deterministic e into q since a secure key m with loss about d the following is a comparison of key m from cp security we achieve advantages of previous works at the same time and our proof doesn't need other requirements now let's focus on the transformation kc we analyze it in two cases of underlying deterministic deterministic pke the first case is that the underlying dpke is derived from t the second case instead is general that correct dpk recall that the transformation t tends to randomize the pe into a deterministic pe by assigning a hash function to the encryption randomness the hash function is modeled as a random output in the proof but the correctness nationally used is in the standard model there should not be random oracles related to it so these two cases are destroyed to deal with the correctness arrow we use a modified ds notion which will be described later and we use an event to separate some bad cases in the proof in the first case we define a stat for a randomly chosen message there is since another message such as the map to sim cipher text in the second case we define it that there are some messages that can cause decryption arrow these two events can be proved that they only happen with a small probability note that the probability is taken over the generation of key pair in both cases here we show the definition of ds we say a pke scheme is ds secure if there exists a simulator s given the probability k as input satisfying the following two requirements the first is statistical distraughtness roughly seen that the simulator almost always outputs a wrong cipher text the second is cipher text indistinguishability roughly seeing that for any efficient algorithm a given the probability and the ciphertext produced from normal encryption algorithm of the simulator it's hard to distinguish which in the case in our proof to cooperate with the bad event we defined before we modify the first requirement to destroy needs specifically we remove the maximum and consider it into average case then we can prove that if the bad event doesn't happen the probability of this draw is very small and the destroyedness can be proved before we prove the cyber tax in distinguishability we first record the measure we want measure one way to hiding lemma let g and h b two random functions with domain x z is a random value as in the subset of x g and h are equal except for the points in this set s then for any algorithm a with alkal access to g o h there exists a algorithm d with alcohol access to g and h such that the distinguished advantage oa can be bounded by the probability that the output sum elements in s now we try to prove the cipher text in distinguishability in the encryption algorithm or key c a hash or message is added to the cipher text but the simulator s shows a random value and the d part to prove the d and synchronity we may want to define a function h prime to be h except for the point m star so that we can invoke the measure we want manual runway to hide to construct when one winnie's attacker against the underlying pke but m star is not given to the adversary h prime cannot be simulated directly however we can replace m star with the set in which are messages that can be encrypted to the challenge ciphertext with this definition each prime can be simulated by test2 whether the query message is in these sets or not so cypher text in distinguishability can be proved next we will consider the transformation as x y corresponding to the proof of key c we also analyze it in two cases the first case is that the underlying dpke is derived from key c and t the second case is that is a general direct correct dpk case 2 has been improved by kusagawa and the yeah mankawa we know that their proof also works with the modified ds notion and keys 1 can be proved based on their proof specifically to deal with the correctness arrow we insert two intermediate games into their game beast proof in the first game we replace the hash function g from t with g prime that only outputs good randomness in the second game we change g prime back to g this method is used in many words and the distinguished probability can be bounded by a lemon named generic distinguished problem with bounded probabilities in the games between about two games the decryption is always correct then the proof of case 2 can be reused finally we can combine of all results getting that the combined transformation as x y k c and t can turn any cpa secure direct correct pke into a qcca secure kem with loss about d square the combined transformation as x y and kc can turn any runway cpa secure direct correct gpk into a qcca secure kem with loss upon d thank you for listening you

I FAKED Being Friends With Post Malone (This Is What Happened)
everybody wants to be famous the year 2020 imagine that is bearing down on us in chasing clout is officially America's new pastime take a seat baseball some people work their face off for it while others possess raw unbridled talent that leads Fame to them even when they're not looking for it hell these days you can become famous just by existing as an insufferable troglodyte with a smartphone there is a million paths to stardom but one that is proven most effective is to just hang out with already famous people you need proof I thought you'd never ask Kim Kardashian who the hell is that you see in 2003 that was a valid question but then she hung out with already famous og influencer Paris Hilton a few times popped up in some paparazzi photos and now 15 years and one pixelated sex tape later you can't eat a blueberry scone without hearing about her dysfunctional billionaire family on the internet radio and television set not convinced okay Cody Co and Noel Miller both were working long hours at a traveling circus concession stand for minimum wage when they randomly ran into post Malone at a LARPing festival in 2017 next thing you know they're signed in major label record deals and hanging out with the inventor of kombucha what was that you still need proof Ethan Klein bedridden from obesity most of his adult life he spent his days binge eating pizza rolls and being sponge bathed by his caretaker and sister Hilah until make-a-wish finally made it possible for him to meet post Malone at a One Direction concert bingo bango fast forward a few years and him and his sister scooped up a 9 million dollar mansion in Bel Air where's my mansion when where's Nigel's record deal I like butta son of a our path forward is clear post Malone is the common denominator of the youtubers future success so it is my duty nay it is my responsibility to become friends with post Malone and ensure a future prosperous for my family hello everyone and welcome back to a coffin full of lewd pictures of your seventh-grade science teacher my name is Leon lush and I'm genuinely thankful that you decided to join me for a bit here today so the intro was jokes quite clearly but let's imagine for a second that it wasn't I would be Sol because I'm basically a stay-at-home dad that lives on the dead-ass opposite side of the country from Hollywood so a chance encounter with post Malone --is is off the table but what I lack in geographical proximity I make up for in big-ass mother in brains which is why I did what any normal highly functioning adult would do and paid a bunch of freelancers on fiverr.com to Photoshop me into some pictures would post Malone to see if my social media audience would believe it or not I don't know I guess I got a lot of time on my hands so first I scoured the internet for pictures that could potentially be believable nothing popular nothing high-quality preferably canons of post out partying or with fans or something turns out Google kind of sucked at that but with the help of Instagram fan accounts I was able to find for deeper cuts that I think are less recognizable to the layperson I studied the pictures and snapped a few green screen photos of myself and poses that would hopefully look natural when I was edited in the Chosin photos I knew ahead of time that a can of Bud Light would be absolutely crucial for this step because post seemingly has one glued to his hand at all times once I organized the photos I reached out to a bunch of editors on Fiverr with clear instructions of what I was looking for in a Google Drive linked to the files they would need I ended up hiring for editors at four different price tags cuz I wanted to see if price point equaled believability when the photos were finished and with 16 photos to choose from I felt pretty confident we'd be able to find at least one or two that maybe believable enough to post online [Applause] all right so I set up a quadrant for each of the four editors gave him a fake name that I thought was funny and then put up the price that they charged me per picture from ten dollars all the way up to fifty dollars per picture what a gouge he better come through for me at that price let's take a look here's the original of the first one and boom all right they all looked decent at first glance it looks like herb was the only one to really nail my height I didn't really communicate that well to everybody one thing that's bothering me is like the lighting of my hand down there I think just the way I took the photo it's like it just looks out of place and yeah it looks like cheeks actually noticed it got rid of the hand but what's going on what's going on up here with the Shelf back here it's like these metal bars are just fading into nothing same thing down here just what is that it's it's a mess back there even with $50 a pick and dear God look at this green color cast all over my body from the green screen you're gonna charge me the most expensive 150 bucks a pick and you don't have the decency to get rid of the green color cast that is some that is it is amateur hour right now I'm thinking cheeks is gonna take this one I like the shadows she got rid of the hand not pumped about what's going on behind my head here but maybe I can clean that up myself hold on that my pass was like an Instagram post or something picture number two original and okay not bad I told you the Bud Light is crucial man you got to have it looks like for ten bucks I have hypothermia or I'm about to die I don't know what's going on my lips skin tone there if not looking all that bad just something looks a little unnatural about this whole situation the glasses the softbox light reflection I don't think people would pick up on that oh my god and herb herb again dude look at this look at this look at this green color cast I look like Shrek you charged me 50 bucks a pic you don't even know how to properly green-screen your subject are you kidding me herb herb look at the green beard herb no one's gonna believe that herb Jesus fifty dollars a pic I got swindled I could just desaturate it myself but i just don't even feel like it at this point let's look at cheeks coming through again second cheapest price looking pretty good cheeks not gonna lie to you from like zooming out a little bit I might believe that one again the softbox and the sunglasses but dude I'm going I'm going cheeks again 16:25 a pic with her second dumped so pick three I knew is gonna be a little difficult first of all the gentleman on the placing is just under five feet tall it looks like and I asked them specifically to put post head on my shoulder instead of on the top of my head cuz it wouldn't make sense otherwise alright first glance baby at $10 that just looks a little too awkward that's ruled out cliff kind of looks good I don't know why it's so yellow but the head on the shoulder thing with the hair looks decent let's check in with her but $50 a pic Oh what do you know look at oh my god the green color cast the green color I look I look like Shrek oh I should've just whipped out $200 on fire if I'm being honest good Lord Almighty the how the audacity to beat to charge $50 a picture and not know how to get rid of the green collar cast from a gun sorry my worst part is I think otherwise this one looks the best like you got the height right and the head looks pretty good I might just I might just desaturate this one myself cheeks looks good too it just looks too awkward there and I think I don't know man you know what I said I think cliff I think cliff coming in with his first dub congratulations cliff at 1875 you nailed it right final picture just a couple of bros checking out a fishtank man you love to see it first glance I'm pretty happy with most of these cheeks right off the bat looks the most natural with the lighting and the shadows herb at $50 huge surprise pants are way too bright let me guess can I find some green folks can I get some green hey there it is green everywhere phenomenal and thank you herb fantastic waste of money you were maybe a 10 bucks not bad a little bright I think around the hand and the beer cane area cliff not bad with the shadows and the skin tones however posts beer can just kind of disappears there and his hands are looking a little I think cheeks I think cheeks we have as our as our fourth picture winter cheeks ultimately coming through with 2/3 area I guess two out of the four two out of the four herb absolutely let down at 50 bucks a pick baby valiant I give her you know honorable mention she gets like a you know a medal but we didn't select any of her picks at ten dollars a pick but I would have taken hers over herbs and $50 goddamn should have just the title of his five everything should have been like I'll charge you $50 to make you look like Shrek in any picture you want perfect would have gotten my money's worth cheeks is the overall winner of this transaction and now we just got to figure out where we're posting these [Applause] I'll never forget the time I eat an edible and talked with Austin for an hour about how to properly clean a fish tank I don't know I guess fire it up I feel like the absurdity of talking about how to clean a fish tank for an hour should hopefully distract people from the fact that the photos actually fake so alright we're going to Instagram for this one who brought the Bud Light guy to a champagne party it's stupid feel like this is definitely the most believable one I don't even know if I can I don't even know if I should post the other two they're just like borderline too obvious so I guess now we just wait to see if her plan works and I sit back and I let the universe manifest to my fame and my riches I can already taste it nine million dollar mansions record deals for myself and for Nigel it's all coming together now of course until I upload this video and everyone realizes I'm just a fat pathetic middle-aged man uploading photoshopped pictures from my from my office chair but you know what sometimes sometimes you you just have to you know all righty well it is well over 24 hours later in fact it is the following night 2:00 a.m. I just finished watching the Logan Paul and ksi fight pretty entertaining I'm not gonna lie didn't really care who won but congrats to KS I was interesting in the youtube world that has nothing to do with this video though big in the YouTube land I've been reading some of the responses to the to the tweet to the Instagram post hahaha I feel like such a slimeball I'm just gonna be honest here but I think it works pretty well I think the photo shops for the most part anyway since it's been going so well I've been dying to tell you but I wanted to keep it a secret until this video came out Nigel and I just closed on a brand new seaport mansion and Island Records caught wind of my new music video chill coming out and just just under a month I just was [Music] inside 9 July apff or three year for album deal so I'm just saying big galbi use baby joking aside that music video is dropping in a couple of weeks followed a few weeks later by a five-song EP in the second music video been working on this stuff for the past couple months it's been delayed a little bit but the dream I'm living it baby I think it's great how posters makes friends with all sorts of youtubers and content creators like it's NBD I think it's great too unfortunately it's not me but it's still it's great I wish I could have learned from you just like posting on how to properly clean a fish tank listen fake fixtures aside I'm happy to teach you how to clean a fish take and any time we can even take edibles too if you want what the what is the context oh I guess I guess this video is the context really Adobe Photoshop JK that's dope bro should have stuck with your god on that one man I can't tell if this is [ __ ] or not but I sure hope not lettuce mayonnaise and onions sorry you look like some pretentious fish expert with those glasses law when I wear my glasses which is infrequently but what I do that is exactly the look that I'm going for I think I was correct yesterday in assuming that the caption was really gonna help sell it because it worked marvelously and honestly you know sad enough to lie about meeting post Malone but I'm more disappointed that I had to lie about eating edibles and talking about cleaning a fish tank for an hour that sounds just like a good time you know so the Instagram picture went over pretty well too was definitely met with a little more skepticism way more comments as well I was getting a bunch of text messages from people that knew me right after I posted like no way and I was like yeah correct actually there is there is no way it's Photoshop so I had to let him down that I wasn't as cool as they thought but listen dude so many influencers so many girls and travel bloggers and all these people making money posting photoshopped pictures to Instagram why can't you boy do it why can't I post photoshopped pictures to Instagram to seem cooler than I am to make some money to get more likes than I normally do that's literally what everybody does on Instagram I'm just so happened to be adding myself into post Malone pictures instead of slimming my waist and making my ass bigger same concept just implemented differently you know I gotta tell you it's been pretty neat feeling cool amongst my Instagram friends for the past 36 hours and now this videos up so I'm going right back to being that weird lonely guy that has a relationship with a monkey doll lighting is different on Leon what are you a detective shut up there's something strange about this picture I don't know what you mean bro you did not meet post Malone that is correct I can't tell if this is Photoshop or not I think my eyes are failing me having Curtis says well I think it is Photoshop interesting to note Evan Curtis then goes on to reply to a bunch of other people in the comments making sure that they know that it is Photoshop really crusading to make sure that people aren't duped by this fake picture I respect the hustle Evan looking out for the light and the truth and I appreciate that literally everyone I asked has mixed answers I didn't think a Photoshop until I read this comment now I'm confused it def is photoshopped that's what I think but every time I look at the picture I just get confused lettuce mayonnaise and onions boy guys he definitely photoshopped himself in there laughing to him crying emoji flippin hater I don't know why but you look like Ice Cube what in the post go on I did find it funny that one of my great friends that I grew up with called me out because of the height saying what post is five ten I know for a fact you're 6-3 and you got me there well now that this video is live and the jig is up I just want to say sorry to any of those I might have let down all I can say is that I've made a severe in continuous laps in my judgment and I don't expect to be forgiven I'm simply here to apologize I think if there's anything positive to be taken away from this experience it's that my new merch is finally dropping at the end of this month so keep your eyes peeled for that launch date tomato mafia com of some more details as the date gets closer if you're new here make sure you subscribe so you don't miss out on my next Photoshop video where I'll be inserting myself into every picture of Trisha Paytas crying on our kitchen floor thanks so much for watching as always I appreciate you will see in the next one peace [Music]

NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA has many facilities around the United States and the people working at them have a variety of jobs to do some work in aeronautics others concentrate on improving aircraft engines and some are involved with a space shuttle and space flight at all the centers many specialized skills are necessary the dren flight research facility is NASA's primary installation for flight research it's located 80 M north of Los Angeles on the western edge of the Mojave Desert over the desert the sky is clear enough to fly almost every day of the year and NASA has access to over 20,000 Square mil of airspace for research flying we use the same dry lake bed and runways that the Air Force uses and these are the exact same runways in dry lake bed that the space shuttle uses when it lands at Edwards Airbase test flight programs began at Dryden in the late 1940s some of these aircraft look silly to us now but the risk taken then have shaped airplane flight as we know it today the X Series or experimental aircraft showed that man could fly faster than the speed of sound tests on the X15 and the late 1950s helped the United States develop a man spacecraft this funny looking bird is the xb7 during its flights over Dryden NASA learned some things that made supersonic flight with large airplanes more practical quite a few wingless Vehicles were pulled through the air air or flew from dren during the 1960s and70s NASA was looking for a way to prove that it was possible to fly in space and safely returned to Earth these tests eventually led to what we know as the space shuttle before the all electric flight control system and flyby wire technology was put into today's airplanes they were much heavier and slower that's because rods and connections to steer the planes and keep the in the air were made of heavier Metals now computers could relay the Pilot's instructions to the various parts of the airplane the super critical Wing concept was also tested by NASA it's a thinner Wing flatter on top and more rounded on the bottom it cuts through the air better which helps a plane cruise at higher speeds with less fuel test today at dren include high angle of attack research with the F-18 the x29 SR71 F-15 digital systems research and laminer flow studies with the F-16 XLS the people who work at Dryden need to know many different things things like math science and computer skills also the people need to be able to speak clearly to one another and to understand their fellow workers let's take a look at some of the people who work in the shops and Laboratories at the flight research facility this is the high temperature and loads calibration lab where people test many different aircraft Parts researchers would much rather see what effects heat and stress have on these parts on the ground instead of in flight there are shops at dren where finely tooled aircraft parts are made in another section people repair build and install electronics and other aircraft Parts which keep the planes in the air aircraft communication and navigation equipment is maintained at dren technicians in the Environmental Testing Lab run the equipment through simulated flight conditions to make sure it works okay before it goes on an aircraft this is the water tunnel at dren here model airplanes are used die vents are installed on them so Engineers can see the flows coming off the model the same as if it was an air flow across the real airplane adjustments made to the model can also apply to the actual airplane and help improve flight and it's less expensive than taking the life-size airplane through wind tunnel testing computer skills are needed for the people who work in the data analysis facilities at Nasa this is where flight research data is processed and information is shared with other NASA centers and test sites around the country people work working in dren simulator Labs need a wide variety of high-tech and computer skills this is where aircraft flight simulators and computers create situations helpful in predicting how the aircraft will actually perform our specially equipped control rooms are Man by experts to monitor the various research Gathering missions on the ground the life support team keeps flight suits parachutes oxygen supplies and other equipment ready for our pilots and flight Engineers who carry out the research flights as you can see NASA has helped shape aviation history in many ways we've sent men and machines into space to the moon and other planets we have satellites that circle the Earth which help people forecast the weather an information gathered from computer simulation that has even been used to make valves for an artificial heart the Dron flight research facility is a very important part of NASA what is being flown at Dron today will have a direct impact on the airplanes of Tomorrow how they'll look how they'll fly and how safe they'll be for you and me

Raqīb The Ethical Compass
[Music] history speaks for itself throughout history we've had many moments of milestone changes like women's suffrage civil rights movement the end of the apartheid these are moments of extreme change that improve people's quality of life [Music] it's very common for people to confuse religion and culture with spirituality and culture being a Muslim being a black and being a woman three minorities it kind of gives you that sense of understanding okay so growing up I went to a private school and it was pretty much the same type of people with similar ethnic backgrounds and religions however once I reached university I realized that I have made a much more diverse group of friends my experiences and not comparable with anybody else's it's about finding a common ground understanding each other and giving the support they need to happen and to the best there's a lot of people within my inner circle and outer circle who inspire me friends families people that I generally talk to but down this particular person I've always looked up to him because he sounds he's brought out the best in me someone that inspires me I'd probably say my mom I know that sounds really cliche and all but like my mom is my biggest inspiration because she just embodies everything that I want to become monkeys are initially was my father and then when I was about Sophie left home yeah this is more my father has mainly impacted my perception of people um so yeah definitely take guidance from you know surrounding myself with the right people my bredrin mateus is you know a great example of that just sharing views even if we don't agree just reasoning reasoning on it openly and honestly you know that song yeah I think that's something that's very important create a conversation that created a friendship and growing up in seeing this I knew that I shouldn't fear the other I should be accepting and speak to people and welcome them with open arms and it's only proven to be positive and it's really gotten me fired my life today and I can't thank him enough for that so I think an example of that would be like the fact that they had such diverse friends and I would meet them they were tell me this and make sure you respect their differences and embrace where they are as people and I feel like that's shaped Who I am today I did resent my father for a long time also resented my mother my mother when she remarried she kicked us out on the street almost what's it to annoy and like I did resent both of them I didn't learn from their mistakes so my mentor he's amazing he does a lot of fun charity work but he also has a big humanitarian factor involved in his everyday life and I think that is what has inspired me because I think we do all have religion but I think humanity comes first ignorance is at its peak and offering that little act of kindness whether it's on a big scale or a small scale can really make a change also Mercedes when I was on helping people I mean helping the other people that grew up we we went through will go for the same issues all gone free when I was a lot younger you know my yeah so I don't really throw myself in an environment will kind of get to sucked in or drawn into it because every day I do feel like as I am an optimistic person I do feel like hate in this world will persist forever and ever so there's not always going to be every single human being the world is going to like me or Who I am or what I represent like I said growing up in banks down seeing a white person they assume straight away what your culture is you know what I mean but obviously my heritage was not something that you would presume from looking at millionaire sir I learned from a young age to let go of physical identities and find something deeper and more meaningful more relevant look for a long time because I'm obviously what others like featuring indium others Lebanese norms Hindu Christian mothers Muslims I was always the person on the gauss-seidel males never feel I was part of any group and for a long time I resented that um I believe the people have really helped me with the idea of tolerance is my sister's I think that's because my sisters have showed me tolerance not through words but rather through actions people arguing and confronting each other when there's an issue they can take a moment to step back understand why that person feels that way and then reconnect and hold a conversation in a respectful boundaries with more kindness I say that the world can become more of a cohesive community full of understanding full of open-mindedness and that's just things that we need especially at this time in the world right now with more acceptance that most certainly would lead to change I can see the world becoming a more socially inclusive society where people's quality of life improved and that's the main thing that we need right now with more respect and tolerance I can see the world changing I can see the divide you know not becoming bigger and I think that's what we need to achieve in our lives we need to rise above the political agendas there the religious changes and I think that is what I feel that yes the world needs that very much at the moment the way it is with more compassion our world will be a better place and regardless of culture with also traditions Ravello stuff the color we can coexist and we can care for one another with more tolerance I think the world can become a much more unified place that being said people from different backgrounds all walks of life will must feel much more comfortable in their surroundings I guess will help remove that stigma associated us a lot of things and just really pave the way to a more open minded community Rome is not building a day these things took time so whether it's now or in 20 years time if we can work together in the strong society improve our lives and create change be more accepting and tolerant I can't even imagine what happen and it's only greatness

Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting 06/28/22
-Good morning. I will now call to order the regular meeting of the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors. It is 9:00 a.m., June 28, 2022. Clerk, will you please call the roll? -Supervisor Friend?` -Here. -Coonerty? -Here. Caput? -Here. -McPherson? -Here. -And Koenig? -Here. -Thank you, Chair. You have a quorum. -Thank you. We'll now proceed with a moment of silence and Pledge of Allegiance. Is there any member of the board that wish to dedicate this moment to anyone? [silence] -Seeing none, then, um, we'll just have a moment of silence then. [silence] -Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. -I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. -CAO Palacios, are there any additions or deletions to the agenda today? -Yes, there are some, uh, corrections to the agenda. Um, on the regular agenda item number nine, there's additional materials attachment 3B insert after packet page 53. And then, on the consent agenda, there's item 38, the staff requests this item be deleted. This is packet pages 706 to 718. On item 75, recommended action number three should read, "Advertise a notice of request for qualifications for a 10-day period beginning on July 2nd, 2022." And then, on item 75, there's additional materials, attachment C, insert after packet page 1479. That concludes the revisions to today's agenda. -Thank you. Proceed to item 4. Is there any, uh, board member that wishes to remove an item from consent to the regular agenda? [silence] -Seeing none, we'll proceed with public comment. -Okay, um, all right. One moment. Any person may now address the board during public comment periods. Speaker-- speakers must not exceed two minutes in length. And individuals may speak only once during public comment. All public comments must be directed to an item listed on today's consent agenda, a closed session agenda and yet to be heard on the regular agenda or topic, not on the agenda, which is within the jurisdiction of the board. Board members will not take action or respond immediately to any public communication presented regarding topics not on the agenda but may choose to follow up later, either individually or in subsequent Board of Supervisors Meeting. Also, just to clarify, uh, for those of you, um the, uh, Item 38 was the item addressing the Downtown Library and that has been deleted from today's agenda. We'll not be hearing that today. Um, and we are going to try to get to the core item as quickly as possible here. It is scheduled as the third item on our regular agenda, Item 9. So, I ask if you are here to speak about that to hold comment, uh, until we hear the item. Thank you. Please proceed. -Good morning. My name is James Ewing Whitman. I'm glad that the core item is on there. I guess I missed that when I was reading it. I'm glad it's on there. Over 1,700 pages today. There were 13 items on the consent agenda that I noted to look at further. Um, 1,700 pages is quite a bit. Uh, the number 66 which has to do, I believe, well, I'm going to look into it, but I was just really questioning that. So, you know, courage is not the absence of fear. Courage means you move forward in the face of fear. I was here last week, and I listened to a lot of commentaries. It was great. I learned a great deal. I wish that I had shared some other information. But I was here. Um, there are just a lot of things that aren't being discussed and maybe now's not the time. Um, I was graced last week to get on speakerphone with a friend and asked to, uh, talk on a syndicated radio station in LA. These three people have been doing this for thirty years. My friend spoke for like the firsthand. And I just kind of asked him what was on their mind and stuff. I was able to be recorded for 95-- 92% of the conversation for an hour and 15 minutes. I am sure looking forward to listening to that because I was probably able to cite at least 35 different people where I got my information from. So nice to see you, guys. Good conversation with you, Mr. McPherson. That's it today. -Thank you, Mr. Whitman. -I just want to ask a question before I step up. Am I allowed to speak to items that are not on the agenda today? -You are. Um, we are-- we do have a very packed agenda, so I do ask that you keep it brief. -Okay. Thank you. Uh, my name is Elise Cosby. I'm a resident of Santa Cruz. Uh, I wanted to speak today on the library issue the, um, what was known as Measure S in the City of Santa Cruz, um, to fund the libraries. And so, I just want to say that I've been watching City Council in Santa Cruz up until about two years ago very, very closely. I went to probably over 70% of the meetings, maybe at least over 60. And I watched our, uh, city government proceedings very closely. So, I want to say something and I'm going to try not to sound holier than thou, which is my new program to be a kind of activist whistleblower who isn't so maybe righteous. But I do need to say the dealings at Santa Cruz City Council have been downright dirty. I haven't seen such dirty politics since I was growing up in the Philadelphia area. And Frank Rizzo is Mayor of the City of Philadelphia. I saw fliers up on campus at UCSC that I have in my possession accusing Kris Krohn and Drew Glover of being sexual molesters and harassers. Uh, and I believe those flyers said that they had been convicted of this. I saw the Sentinel lie, and I've seen really shady dealings around this entire library issue. So, I'm going to ask that the movers and shakers in the county and the city drop the issue of trying to force the library garage, to which they added housing, to sweeten the deal since it was extremely unpopular. Mr. Coonerty needs to stop his dirty politics uh, telling things that are false to the Democratic clubs up on campus. And we need a new era of less corruption and honesty in the government in Santa Cruz County. Thank you very much. -Thank you, Elise. -Hello, my name is Helga Nibble and I live in Felton, California. I've been helping the homeless people for over thirty years. And I know them all and I don't know what to tell you. I just know if they don't-- if they-- you take their showers away from them, that you're taking away part of their human dignity. They are looking forward, it's like a triage. They live in the forest. They live on the debris with like an animal. They're looking forward to cleaning, to get a warm shower at least twice, three times a week. I don't know exactly. I think usually three times a week. And so, I, I beg you to consider that as a human dignity aspect because they already have so much such a hard time. They have no warm food. They live on food stamps. They live in the forest. And all they have, you know, is still lasting. You know, I talked to some homeless person last night, and he asked me to come here and speak for them. They are looking so much forward to cleaning themselves off from living in the dirt. Please consider that as a human dignity officer, not nothing else. Thank you very much. -Thank you, Helga. -Okay. Thank you. -Supervisors McPherson, Friends, Koenig, Coonerty, and Caput. Um, my name is Sarah Leonard. I'm from MHCAN. And I'm asking again that you fund MHCAN through CORE. My understanding is that you made some changes, but MHCAN is not included in those changes. Um, as, um throughout our whole lives, often people such as I, I'm diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar, autism, PTSD, and a few more things. Um, um, oftentimes, our whole lives we are, um, overlooked. And I asked you not to overlook us today. Thank you. -Thank you. -My name is TJ and I just want to ask for the opportunity to fund MHCAN. -Thank you, TJ. -Hi, my name is Serenity and I'm here, um, on behalf of MHCAN today. I've been going to MHCAN for 8 years. Um, MHCAN is a lifeline for a lot of people in this community. It is the oldest run peer support in California, maybe in the nation. It's grassroots. We don't have funding like the managed mental health system like Encompass and the other things that were funded through CORE. And we've been funded, and now you're taking that funding away. And it's literally a dignity issue for the people in the community who have mental health challenges. And a lot of them are homeless, and you're kicking them out of the Benchlands. You're kicking them out of Asiana. You're kicking out of the Armory. And they come to MHCAN for-- for coffee, for showers to, to groups, to, to fuel their mental wellness. That's what MHCAN is. It's not a clubhouse for people that are homeless and mentally ill, and we all just hang out and smoke cigarettes all day. There's a real purpose for MHCAN. It's a blessing for the community. And if you take that away and you give it to the managed healthcare systems, which you've already done behind closed doors, there'll be nothing left. Santa Cruz is a very special place. Please remember us because we do matter. And mental health is a hot button right now in this country because of COVID. Please, take it seriously. God bless you all. -Thank you, Serenity. -Hello, my name is Shelley Sewald and I am a resident of Santa Cruz. In my lifetime, I have experienced homelessness. And, um, with, while I was homeless, I, I walked into MHCAN and I was able to get support. And during that time, I got encouragement to get a job, which I did. And during that time when I started that job, I still continue to use MHCAN services for showers, to do my work clothes laundry, to eat, rides, and I now have stable housing. I also am now been at this restaurant for a year and a half and I'm a manager. And all of this has been possible with the help of MHCAN. So, I am an example of what is possible with the services provided by MHCAN. It's possible to get off the streets, and it's possible to have a life of stability financially and be housed again. And I would just like to please beg that they do not because there are many more of me out there. Thank you very much for your time. -Thank you, Shelley. -Hello, my name is Joanna and I'm here to represent MHCAN. I would like for you to continue to support us because I'm also one of the people that have, um, benefited from all their services. So, we ask that you do not overlook us and please consider that when you are making your decisions. Thank you very much. -Thank you, Joanna. -I'm Chris. I'm here to speak for MHCAN. Start? Okay. So, MHCAN personally is a miracle working place. And if there was more of them, you know, it could do wonders. I was at the bottom of the depths of homelessness and just on death's door, and by the grace of God and MHCAN is part of my story. Um, it restored my life, you know. It's-- it's a good investment for the community, not just for the homeless or for the, uh, people with mental health, because we all have mental health, like at the end of the day. It's just some people have symptoms and problems. But for the entire Santa Cruz and the entire, like, community, it would be a great investment for everybody's mental health. You know, it serves everybody and, um, it saves lives, and it creates community, and it gives people a place to be. Because I don't know if you've ever experienced not having a place to be and not feeling safe and feeling all these things and emotions. But if you ever felt that you'll know, like, you, you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy, you know. So, if you could fund it, it'd be appreciated, you know, doing God's work. So, thank you. -Thank you, Chris. -My name is, uh, Richard Lewis. I just couldn't understand is this just some like showers and mental health or anything that isn't on the agenda. -You, you can speak to any item on the agenda or... -Well, I'm happy to be here. There's legislation, and I'd like to make it known. It's called California Youth Empowerment Commission. And instead of being focused on high school, it's focused on the age of twenty-five. I've asked in the past to create a hub for youth and youth development. If you've done that, I, I would sure like to research and learn what that hub for our county is. And if it's not there, I would ask you to do research with staff on what would Youth Empowerment look like in the cities. Know that at high school in Santa Cruz and Watsonville at the time our CEO here, they had a Youth City Council. Now that's different if we raise it to 25 and have a youth mayor and a new city council in places like Scotts Valley or Aptos or anywhere. So, I see I've got 39 seconds, but hope that you will do your research and then bring up what you find with the hub being Cabrillo because we're in the shadow of UC Santa Cruz. And to those who don't know me, I'm full-time and I'll be 85 years young. My prayer is to live one more day. And I'll put these upstairs because the homies are coming as a club as we move forward like in-- across the hill, the Latinos for a new America. I asked you to help move forward youth empowerment in this county. -Thank you, sir. -Good morning. My name is Joanna Devers. I'm the Director of Institutional Engagement at the Peninsula Open Space Trust also known as POST. Over a decade ago, POST joined forces with the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County, Sempervirens Fund, and Save the Redwoods League to prevent-- to protect a property we now call the San Vicente Redwoods property. It's over 8,500 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains. And I'm just here today to express, uh, gratitude to the Board of Supervisors and to county staff for your support in helping direct some really important state funding to this project. It's item 54 on your consent agenda today. Um, Supervisor... I'm sorry. Assembly Member Mark Stone championed this project at the state level because it provides some really important, um, public benefits to the Santa Cruz Mountains region. We're going to be able to provide year-round emergency access for vehicles into remote parts of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and we're going to do some important shaded fuel break work with this funding. The County of Santa Cruz played a really important role in helping direct this funding to our organization, so thank you very much. -Thank you, Ms. Devers. -Hello, my name is Hernan Torres and I just want you guys to help fund our MHCAN. Um, thank you. -Thank you, sir. -Good morning. My name is Becky Steinbruner, I'm a resident of rural Aptos in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I want to, um, highlight your correspondence. Here it is AA on your printed. On the online agenda, it was AF. This is a letter from Matthew Kaufman conveying to you his concerns that he was dismissed as a county fire volunteer simply because he, um, questioned some of the tactics that Cal Fire and County Fire did during the CZU Lightning Complex fire. There has never been an after-action analysis on this fire by Cal Fire, and they have refused to do so. I have asked your board a number of times to do an operational after-action review and interview investigation with your county fire volunteers and it has not happened. This is very disturbing to me. Cal Fire is essentially reducing our volunteer force at a time when we need more. This is unacceptable, and I asked you to look into it. I want to highlight also that there will be this $3 million 400 feet shaded fuel break on Warren Road and Dewey Road improvements. That is excellent. I want to see what the road improvements will look like. And I urge your board to also impress upon state parks the importance of reopening the emergency evacuation for the Last Chance community. A man died. A man died because he was trying to use that evacuation route that state parks cut off. This is unacceptable. Please work with state parks and get that open again. Finally, I want to bring to your attention items 23 and 24 on the Consent Agenda moving the county emergency communications radio system completely changing coverage within our South County area, moving the equipment from the fire station to in Watsonville up to Mount Madonna. This will have big changes for communication... -Thank you, Ms Steinbruner. -... and I'm concerned. Thank you. -Does that work? Okay. Um, my name is Blair. I, I go to MHCAN and I'm very glad that you are funding some other organizations that offer services to the community as well. However, I did notice that MHCAN was not being funded and I am a little bit concerned about that. Frankly, I'm-- I think that, um, cutting that funding will still devastate a lot of the community. I think it's good that you guys are funding other places, but I would really like it if you considered funding us as well, as would many members of the community. Thank you. -Thank you, Blair. -Good morning. My name is Suzanne Shulk. I work at Community Bridges, Mountain Community Resources. I work directly with our unhoused folks who will be severely impacted by the proposed cuts to CORE funding. They come in for a hot shower and laundry service. They tell me daily how grateful they are for this. We are the only center in San Lorenzo Valley that offers these types of services. And now they will end because of the proposed cuts to funding. Where do I tell them to go now? This is only one of the many services we offer to our community that are at risk. And I asked you to please reconsider and fund Community Bridges Resource Centers. Thank you. -Thank you, Ms. Shulk. -Good morning. My name is John Rhodo. I go to MHCAN, uh, frequently as-- as bathing, things like that for hygiene. I do feel it has been a serious influence on the community, something that gives hope positive instead of just referral of what they would be. Maybe somebody would go off the deep end that there was nobody there and anything. It offers like music. Uh, definitely counseling, AA meeting, stuff like that. And I feel it would really be something missing in everything if it didn't have something of involvement that was-- it could be, you know, gives hope. It's a positive influence. And myself personally, it's been something that carries me over that personal crisis of status many times. And I turned to somebody, and it's just, you know, just a smile or something that has usually been that gives hope, you know. But there's always more to life than-- that people can provide, that they care about, and really cared for. And I always feel that maybe some kind of influence, maybe bulletin or something, even more involvement wouldn't be a bad thing. and funding, it really wouldn't be, it would need something that would guide it in the direction. And I just, well, I don't know, I feel like I use something seriously wherever I go. I don't have a family. There's a lot of people out there like that, that it just been- it's not like they just fell out of the sky. You know, a lot of personal stories that not many people can say. And I just know it really is something, whatever the decisions would be about financing. And, and it should be known that it has been seriously something that's been a positive influence, carried away from any crisis of suicide and other just pointless, endless acts of what it could be. And, you know, I like to thank the Council for considering an approach. That's all I'd say. Thank you. -Thank you, Sean. -Hi, my name is Lily. Um, I spoke to you guys last week. Um, MHCAN picks up where society leaves off. So we have people who are trying to find a job but they can't get a shower. And if they can't get a shower, they can't get a job. If they can't wash their clothes, they can't show up to that job. If they're not mentally stable, then they can't show up to that job day in and day out. And that was my story. I had to leave the workforce because of my mental health and, you know, things got really bad after that. Um, we provide the facilities and the infrastructure to let people reintegrate and rejoin society after they've had a crisis that may have removed them from it. Um, I get emails about people who are struggling with hoarding or anxiety, and they're just asking for help. And they're asking for us to help them and asking for a place that they can go to talk about their anxiety and get tools in a community that's not going to judge them and is going to accept them exactly where they are and meet them where they're at. We have been the liaisons between other nonprofits in town helping people get housing, um, and really doing really vital work. And I really hope that the funding is, um, restored. Um, someone said a while ago that you might not notice whatsoever here, but you'll definitely notice us when we're gone. So, thank you, guys. -Thank you, Lily. -I won't be able to stay when the item comes up and for CORE funding, so my comment will be on the CORE funding. I'm Myla Melendrez, Program Director for the Family Resource Collective of Community Bridges. While we appreciate the efforts to recommend bridge funding, it's simply not enough. It would be ideal for county staff making recommendations to meet with us and hear impacts to make better and informed decisions. We are here to voice our concerns. We want to continue partnerships and find ways that will better serve the community. Thank you to those that made the time to listen to us. And to those that ignored our request to meet, I hope you're able to find the time. I still have lingering questions, but the most pressing one is, where will we send our participants who no longer will have access to programs being defunded? Specifically, where will our houseless participants from the SLV area go for services when the transportation costs are at their highest? And for them to go to Santa Cruz regularly, it's not feasible. We are the only agency that maintained its doors open during the pandemic, providing direct essential services. All the other agencies closed their doors, including county agencies. We are past that now. However, it really demonstrates who was at the forefront during the most time in need. We are committed to serving our community. Thank you. -Thank you. All right. Seeing no one else here in the chambers, we'll go to Zoom. So, anyone on Zoom, we'll start for public comment. -Caller ending in 1401, your microphone is now available. -Uh this is Marilyn Garret. Thank you to the previous speakers. And I know that there's plenty of financial allocation for harming the community. And I speak of the telecom industry. Uh, despite their assurance that no safe amount of exposure to radiofrequency microwave radiation exists. As Dr. Sharon Goldberg has stated, wireless radiation has biological effects, period. Three major epidemics are related. Mental health issues, diabetes, and heart problems, to name a few. Currently, Santa Cruz County is guaranteeing even more biological radiation damage than now it says from hundreds of radiation meetings, Verizon 4G sites. Why do I say this? At the February 24, 2021 meetings, Zoom meeting, the planning commission county code amendments were proposed. And since adopted by you with the state and the overall goal, and I quote, "for a rapid build-out of wireless infrastructure and to upgrade existing facilities for 5G networks, particularly in rural areas." Significantly admitted from that document was the fact that no resident and/or child has authorized 24/7 voluntary, mandatory bodily microwave harmful radiation trespass. We do not-- -Thank you, Ms. Garret. -Debbie Hanky, your microphone is now available. -Thank you. Um, I'm a resident of Santa Cruz County for 47 years. Now as a CSA 48, um, taxpayer, being taxed twice. I'm flabbergasted that the Board of Supervisors do not hold the largest entity of our money accountable. Cal Fire is allowed to dismiss volunteers when they should be training them. See letter AA. Cal Fire has not been held accountable for the failures of the CZU fire by not having to deliver an after-action review. You need to require this for the future safety of our volunteers and firefighters. Cal Fire is allowed to do what they want when they want but at our expense. There does not seem to be any accountability for the CSA 48 taxes, and I do not support the automatic cost-of-living increase in collecting these taxes since you failed to show that they are necessary and appropriate. I do not even know if they have been allowed to hire or if they have gone and hired the third person that they were supposed to on the basis of the CSA second assessment. Also, I asked that you move the 31, um, agenda to a public hearing. This resolution has no basis to support, for you to support the Downtown Library when there's so much opposition to this project by the people of Santa Cruz. It's a waste of money. If you want affordable housing, build it yourselves instead of approving high-end giveaway projects like the Aptos Village. Do not just support for retiring supervisor who has no future investment in the people of Santa Cruz by trying to complete a monstrosity of a parking garage, library, and housing, changing the culture of Santa Cruz. Thank you for your time. -Thank you, Ms. Hinky. -Serge, your microphone is now available. -Good morning, Board of Supervisors. My name is Serge Kagno. I'm the co-chair of the Mental Health Advisory Board. These comments are mine personally, they do not represent the Mental Health Advisory Board. I'm speaking in support of Consent Item number 59. As you know, filling an open position is a challenge across the county. Specifically, the health service agency and Behavioral Health Department have been struggling to fill grant-funded positions due to their being limited-term positions. Please support number 59 to turn these needed positions into permanent positions within the H-- HSA budget as recommended by staff and to make them more, um, more likely to get applicants, needed applicants. Thank you. Separately, please support consent item, agenda item number 48 to be in compliance with AB 1869 for agency pay for inmate electronic monitoring equipment due to the disproportionate low-income population, which has previously been challenged with these costs. This program allows for lessening in the strain on our jail daily numbers for those appropriate for this program. Thank you. -Thank you, Serge. -Carrie, your microphone is now available. -Good morning. Thank you for having me. I'm Carrie Thompson. I'm with the Land Trust of Santa Cruz, I would like to, uh, express thank you to you for considering the funding for the Warrenella Road shaded fuel break. This is a very important piece of fire protection in our community and will protect the communities of San Lorenzo Valley and Bonnie Doone from the heavily forested areas on the Western part of the of the Warrenella Road. Thank you very much. -Thank you, Ms. Thompson. -Clay, your microphone is now available. -Thanks, board. Clay Kempf, Executive Director of the Seniors Council. And I want to thank, uh, and encourage the board to uh, take the recommendation under item 65 community program funding. Uh, it partially gets us to where we need to go in terms of, uh, correcting some of the flaws we have and the allocations being made. I, I think one of the overarching issues, however, is that it's nice that there was an 11% increase to the total pool. But since we last went out for bid for these services, there's actually been 18% increase in the cost of doing business. So, we're losing ground and that's just going to automatically create some challenges. Uh, a couple of other things that I want to bring up is I, I would encourage the board in future discussions to return to having a designated staff person evaluate and monitor all the programs that are funded. And come back annually with a report to the board about how well or poorly those programs are doing. I think that's probably the best approach to making sure your dollars are well spent. And also in telling the, uh, positive story that most of these programs will provide. Um, lastly, I want to bring up just the issue of how this funding is being distributed, not so much the process, but just by the question of what we're trying to do here. Historically, the county and city funds have been used as supporting and existing safety net. And the current direction seems to be going towards making more of a foundational approach where we evaluate any given grant without looking at the bigger picture of what our long-term goals and achievements are. So, I think that's a lengthy discussion that needs to take place. Hopefully, it will occur because I think that drives what process we end up with and what kind of decisions we ultimately make. And I think all of us have the same goal. We're trying to create a better community. So, I encourage you to, uh, take all those actions. Thanks. -Thank you, Mr. Kempf. -Charl, Your microphone is now available. [silence] Charl, your microphone is now available. -Hi, sorry. I don't-- I didn't mean to, uh... I'm sorry. I think I must hit something. I didn't mean to speak. Thank you. Sorry. -Okay. Thank you. Melissa, your microphone is now available. [silence] Melissa, go ahead and accept the unmute. -Thank you so much. Hello, everyone. My name is Melissa. I am a resident of Santa Cruz County and I'm here today to ask the board to reconsider the allocation for the diversity center of Santa Cruz and increase that funding. Um, specifically the funding to mental health support services that would support LGBTQ+ youth. Um, I think as a queer person, myself, um, supporting queer youth is incredibly important and vital to our Santa Cruz community. And I just ask the board to reconsider that funding. Thank you. -Thank you, Melissa. Clerk, how many, uh, more folks do we have on Zoom at the moment? -At this time, we have two speakers. -Okay. We'll take them. -Karen, your microphone is now available. -Morning, board of supervisors. Um, this is, I'm Karen Delaney and I'm calling, um, 'cause I can't stay for the court is, issue either. But I do want to say, um, that upon reflection, I would like us to focus a little bit on the larger perspective. This community used to, for two decades, invest about 1% of its general fund in sustaining the safety net through different iterations of the Community Grant program. If this community was valuing this function, the safety net, the same as it had for two decades, you would be investing a little bit over $6,000,000 in CORE. Not fighting over what, uh, not fighting over process, not fighting over, uh, intentions, but really looking at why is it? And this is the question I'd like us to engage in. 'Cause I don't recall a debate about this. Why is it that this function investing in the people who needs services the most has been basically cut in half as a percentage of the general fund in the last 10 years? If that's not a decision that you knew you were making, that's great. You can change it today by reinvesting. If that is, then that's a decision we all have to have. Why do you value this less than your predecessors? And what can we do to convince you that this is a smart investment? I'm grateful for the work, but I feel like we need to ask and answer the right questions. -Thank you, Ms. Delaney. -Raymond, your microphone is now available. -Uh, thank you, board of supervisors. This is Ray Cancino from Community Bridges. Again, um, unfortunately, I'm unable to stay and unable to join you today cause of the lack of childcare. Um, as you know, uh, we've been advocating and speaking to you all about the impacts that CORE will have on our community. I think it's incredibly, uh, a difficult time. And I understand that, um, for many people in our community, and to hear that a lot of their services and programs across the community, not just Community Bridges, but programs like [inaudible] and CASA, um, have all been, uh, selected to be-- to be defunded. I understand that there is a critical need to, um, maintain, um, a process which, which is CORE, and we're not here to debate or argue about, um, points and percentages and differences, uh, in that process. I think the process is what it is. But I do think that it's important for you to debate and understand the human impacts of the individuals that cuts, uh, will occur and will happen. As you've heard of today in many other people, uh, we have serious programs that are going to be, uh, defunded and-- and shut and shut down or reduced in service. I think that, um, by the result of that, uh, you know, our community is less, uh, thriving and less safe, uh, and less open to supporting its residents. I commend the board for finding a half a million dollars to help support, uh, programs that are not funded for the next three months. But that's going to do little to really impact the long-term investments and the long-term impacts of those program closures. Um, I know that, um, there's very, a varied amount of information that is lacking in terms of making that decision. And every time you do not have that question in those conversations, it's a zero-sum game and you're really just playing with every three years and not knowing what services you're going to be able to provide to your community. I think with the large, uh, reserve that you are building, um, the rainy-day reserve, it's the wrong time to be looking at that when you have so many people still suffering from COVID. And I ask you to urge, uh, for further investment. So, thank you for your time. -Thank you, Mr. Cancino. -We have no further speakers, Chair. -All right. Thank you. Uh, then we'll bring public comment to a close and I'll bring it back to the board for comment, uh, or action on the consent agenda. -Mr. Chair, if I-- if it's okay. I'll, I'll-- -Yeah. Supervisor Friend, please. -Thank you. I recognize we have a lot of items and so I'm just going to speak to one item, but I, I do have questions of staff regarding Item 73. Is somebody present? This is on the vacation rental item. -Uh, Ms. Hanson is approaching the podium. -Thank you. -Good morning, Chair Koenig, supervisors. Stephanie Hanson, Assistant Director with the New Community Development and Infrastructure Department. Happy to answer any questions that come up on this item. -Thank you, Ms. Hanson. Thank you for taking the time. I appreciate this item, um, this item actually raised a lot of red flags for me and produced a lot of concerning data. The board, as you know, had spent a significant amount of time, uh, working with your department. Updating the ordinance in order to make, um, the provisions around renewal or revocation, or even initial application, uh, much more stringent as well as the enforcement side of it. So, I had some questions of it because this-- this report showcases that there are, uh, well, depending upon how you count it somewhere over a hundred potentially multiple hundreds of unpermitted units. And so, my first question is just, uh, what we're doing in regards to enforcement regarding these unpermitted units? There was nothing that was, uh, specified as to what's being done in regards to that. -Uh, right. The report, um, uh does state that we will send out, and begin the enforcement process by sending out letters to the, um, properties that are shown not to have permits. So that would begin the co-compliance process for those properties. -And how long does that process take? I, I ask because I just want to ensure that there, that we, as a county are actually providing an incentive for people to get permits. So, I mean, it seems like right now, there really isn't an incentive with there's that many people that are unpermitted that are-- that are advertising. So what are, what kind of enforcement timeline are we talking about? -Um, you know, code compliance is a process, right? So they'll begin with a letter, um, that, uh, states what the, uh, problem is and the violation they need-- and how they need to fix it. Typically, um, we're trying to get folks to come in for a permit so that we can legalize their, uh, situation. They're given a certain amount of time to respond. Um, and when we, um, have communication with them, we will, um, do a round of, uh, education as it were to try to help them understand what the process is and the permitting, um, that's necessary, what the rules are for operating a vacation rental. Um, for those that are not responsive, we would, we would begin, um, uh, on with notices of violations and citations for those properties. -Okay. I, I mean, maybe, and maybe other board members would have a different opinion on this, but when we updated the ordinance, as-- as I'm sure you are even more familiar than I am. Under 694 subsection L, we specifically called out the fact that if people were operating unpermitted, if had any violation, uh, that a violation of the requirements to obtain a vacation permit may be grounds for denial of a new vacation rental permit application. I mean, I-- I didn't think we were necessarily in, in the process of rewarding people for coming into compliance. Again, for me, that's an incentive to, to operate outside of the system because you get to operate outside of the system for an extended period of time. And then the county tries to welcome you into a process that we created a process in order to make it harder for people that are operating outside of the system. This is the bad actor theory that we had presented previously during these discussions of how do we get people-- how do we revoke bad actors? How do we deny new applications? And, and it doesn't sound like that that is necessarily the process. And so I want to express concern over, over that because I think that, that we aren't doing enough on the compliance side. So, I'll just flag that, I think that this is going to be a comeback kind of item. Um, but I, I wanted to, to flag that concern. Also, in regards to the number of complaints that you had received. Um, what is the-- the number was pretty low considering the number of emails that I'm, imagine, uh, Supervisor Koenig and I receive about this of people complaining about permitted vacation rentals, or maybe unpermitted. So how do you interface with the Sheriff's office then for people that are operating outside of contacting you? -Um, typically, uh, co-compliance will, um, reach out to the property owners. And before new, uh, permits or renewals are issued, we'll double check the Sheriff's records, um, to make sure those violations, um, are not raising any red flags and look further into 'em if they are, um-- the Sheriff's office, uh, has, you know, citations that are kind of property specific. So, they don't really characterize things. As far as I know, as vacation rentals or not vacation rentals but we can work with them further to see if there's a way to indicate, um, that particular land use. So that we know better what's happening out there. And we can also reach out to the Sheriff's office as we begin this process of-- of co-compliance in this round. -So, I guess what I'm hearing then, there isn't an address-by-address sort of list of when, if somebody were to call the Sheriff's office, that information isn't-- kind of, isn't shared over to you. It sounds like, and, and neither is it specifically saw it, I think from a structural standpoint uh 'cause in the middle of the night, if somebody's having a noise disturbance, they're going to call the SO, right? And I think that we need to then have a way that that information either through coding or by-- by a, a permitted or unpermitted address known list is shared with code compliance. Right now, it doesn't sound like that's the case, is that true? -Yeah. Typically, it's more of an active look on our part to see what the citations are, that are gathered on any particular property in the Sheriff's office. But, um, we can, uh, work further with them to see if there's a more proactive way to get those complaints to us. Besides us looking up there, um, on their system, what, uh, parcel by parcel. -Okay. All right. Then, I think that'll be part of, I guess, maybe some additional direction that we can-- we can work to create. What I think we need to do is, I think that as part of this report, Ms. Hanson, I think we need to have an annual compliance report that's built into this. That actually shows this information, the number of complaints that went under the Sheriff's office, the length of time that it took for compliance, uh, back from code enforcement, the number of revocations, the number of revocation hearings, the number of people ever denied new applications as a result of that. And all that is, was really the intent of the modifications of-- of the ordinance that we did that are, that's lacking in this. This just shows me that there are a lot of unpermitted people and, and it doesn't show that there's necessarily, uh, an outcome. So, to that also, I think then, then the complaint process itself, I think that we need to look into ways to improve that for the end user on our website or wherever it may be. Um, I don't know if you had any thoughts or suggestions on ways that we can improve that, but we need to make it easy. We need to make it trackable. And we need an internal communication system between your office, the auditor, controller, and the Sheriff's office to make this a, a unified sort of presence to make this, um, make compliance improve moving forward. Do you have any thoughts on, on ways to improve the complaint process for the community? -The, um, co-compliance maintains a portal online in which anybody who has a complaint can, um, register their, um, their issue. Um, I think what would we really need to do is sit down with the other two departments and figure out how we can communicate better on what they're seeing versus what we're seeing. So getting that, uh, data with, uh, from Granicus was kind of, uh, step one, um, in this process. Um, I will say that code compliance continues to be complaint-based, um, there's as you know because you just funded or helping us to fund a new, uh, unfunded position, which we really appreciate. Um, there's, uh, a backlog, each co-compliance case can-- can get complicated if it involves unpermitted structures or, um, otherwise unallowed, uh, land uses. Um, and it's, uh, you know, it's a long-- it's a long process and some of them will go all the way to court. Um, so that can take up a tremendous amount of-- of staff time. So, it's a matter of, you know, how we continue to use our resources and balance our-- our resources. Um, there are other communities that have act-- very active programs and we understand that but they're also staffed for that particular, uh, co-compliance problem. -Okay. I understand that. I mean, we just, we did approve-- the voters, I should say, just approved a new TOT that included an increase specific on these vacation rentals. I think that as part of the mid-year budget conversation, that should be included as far as how compliance. There's an expect-- written right into the ballot language was mentioning an improvement in compliance. And so, I think that we, we may need to look into that. Then I guess I'll just close on what I assume I know the answers. So, I assume there haven't been any revocations then since the new ordinance, there haven't been any hearings or hasn't been any, uh, denials of new applications. Is that correct? -There have not been any revocations. And I don't-- I, I can't speak to the denials. I'm not sure about that, but I don't believe so. -Okay. I complete-- I, so, great, uh, significant gratitude for you and your team being able to answer these questions and coming forward today. I would like to when it comes a time, Mr. Chair, to make a motion to add additional direction on this item because I think that we do need, uh, to establish a process moving forward for the board's previous intent. Thank you, Ms. Hanson. -Thank you. -I, I've no other, uh, comments on any other item here, Mr. Chair. -Thank you, Supervisor Friend. -Mr. Chair? -Yeah, Supervisor Coonerty. -Yeah. So, uh, first let me just say, I agree with Supervisor Friend's concerns around item number 73, and we need, uh, just more oversight and, uh, and action to bring these folks into compliance and to collect the TOT and to do the various things that we promised, uh, neighborhoods, uh, and the community going forward. So, I'll support, whatever action he outlines. Um, just a couple of comments in one additional direction. So, uh, first as was mentioned, I appreciate on number 54, this Warrenella fire break, uh, as we come upon the two-year anniversary, the CZU fire, I think it's, um, incredibly important, obviously, that we take, uh, engage in efforts to reduce, uh, the risk of fire through suppression. And this is an important effort. I want to thank the land trust and post and all the partners we have, uh, who are, uh, engaging in this project. Uh, on, um, item number 68, which is the Veteran's Home key, um, funding. Um, I really appreciate this effort to house, uh, veterans who are experiencing homelessness in our community, and, uh, look forward to further state investment in order to serve, uh, other populations. This is a small project, but I think it's, um, a great example of how we can, um, build tangible project, projects that get, uh, shelter over people's heads and create a sense of community to help people, um, recover and re-establish their lives. Um, on item number 73, uh, Supervisor McPherson and I would, um, like to, uh, recommend that we, uh, continue this item to, uh, the second meeting in August. Um, unfortunately, this, this report was not responsive to the previous board direction. Um, in the meantime, uh, he and I will meet with the HSA director to go over specific concerns. Um, when the-- when the item returns in August, we'd likely to just say, to identify, uh, 8 additional disposal kiosks, uh, to be installed and managed by the county. Um, and also, uh, that, uh, the August report should contain per previous board direction, um, the number of needles collected by the down-- in the kiosks, downtown street streams, Save Our Shores, the city of Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation. All of them keep this data. And we'd asked that they be in these reports going forward. And so we'd like to see it, uh, in the report when it comes back in August. And that's all my comments for today. -Thank you, Supervisor Coonerty. And just to clarify, I think you said about that was an additional sort of direction you're suggesting for item 58. Is that right? -Correct. -Okay. Thank you. -Um, thank you. Um, Chair, um-- -Supervisor McPherson. -Um, on item number 68, uh, project home team, uh, Vets' Village in Ben Lomond. I want to congratulate the Veterans' Village, uh, project team, including our county staff and community members for getting this project off the ground. Uh, Chair Koenig and I attended an event at the Veteran's Village in Ben Lomond on, uh, June 17th with Turota's, uh, Laredo's uh, Castro Ramirez, uh, Governor Newsom's secretary of business, consumer services, and housing to announce the various, uh, projects, home key projects in our county. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these happen, uh, as they develop. And I'm grateful that we have these projects in the works and that, uh, it'll help us, uh, address the affordable housing goals that we have in Santa Cruz County. On item number 91, uh, the Felton Library and the PSPS events. Um, and we've had some real serious outages up in San Lorenzo Valley, uh, recently. And I hope that, uh, PGD I've gotten just many, many emails. I want people to know that, uh, but, um, I hope that they can get to this as quickly as possible. I know that they're trying to do so. We sure, surely have given him that direction. Um, but I was very pleased to introduce the library director, uh, our new library director, Yoland, uh, Wilburn to our OR three staff to discuss the use of the Felton Library during a PSPS, uh, event. And kudos and thanks, uh, to the OR three and library executive team for, uh, successfully negotiating an agreement uh with PGD. We know that, uh, events are triggered by a combination of high heat and, uh, winds and systemic, um, drought conditions that we're experiencing. And in the San Lorenzo Valley, we have many isolated seniors and others who are at high risk under those conditions. And it's really critical that, uh, we have access to water and a safe, uh, cool facility during a PSPS event. And, um, they can use the internet and charge their devices. So I, I thank, um, them for, um, making this happen and, uh, in San Lorenzo Valley at the Felton library and I look forward to an expansion of this in the future. Thank you. -Thank you, Supervisor McPherson. -Good. You know... -Supervisor. -Consent agenda. Right? -Correct. Yes. -Yeah. -Okay. Just so I comment on, uh, number 69. It's good to see, uh, Human Services Department uh... -Turn on your mic. -Uh. -Supervisor Caput, is your microphone on? -What, what's that? -We just double check your microphone is on or your-- your microphone. -Yes, maybe I'm not speaking into it. It's okay. -That's better. Very good. -Anyway, the Human Services Department, uh, uh, working with the Veterans' Village Project Homekey application, uh, it'll be, um, uh, purchase an upgrade of a 20 rental unit permanent supportive, uh, housing project for veterans at risk of, uh, homelessness. And, uh, it's-- it's in Ben Lomond. Uh, not too far from the Ben Lomond Market on Highway Nine. So, I think it's a wonderful project. And, uh, looking forward to seeing that fixed up and opened up for veterans. Thank you. -Thank you, Supervisor Caput. -Let's add a few comments on item 35. I want to thank Paula Woods for volunteering for the County Arts Commission. Uh, all-- all our commissioners really provide, um, you know, a significant amount of expertise and, uh, time to provide recommendations on, uh, many county functions. And, uh, we, we couldn't do the work we do without them. I do think we need to refocus, uh, on the resources we provide commissioners so that they're well prepared as they, uh, provide that, that review and those recommendations. Um, and, uh, I always, it's always a challenge in keeping them engaged. So on item 39, directing the chair to write a letter to the city of Santa Cruz in response to Mayor Brunner's letter regarding the need for additional transitional and bridge housing. I have drafted a response that makes, uh, offers to make county property available to the city for transitional housing. If we're able to agree on some, uh, terms about management, and it's important that the city and county continue to collaborate in addressing our homelessness crisis. And I hope my colleagues agree that we should, uh, ultimately make more resources available for our joint efforts. On item 68, I just also, uh, want to add my, uh, congratulations for the Veteran's Village Homekey project. I know staff work incredibly diligently on that project to help get it across the finish line. And, uh, as the Veteran's Village project team as well, a lot of hard work, and it's great to see this coming to fruition. I, I know that it's not over by any means. There's a lot of, uh, hard work yet to be done. Um, and so I hope-- I know they have volunteer days, uh, on, I boost the first Saturdays of the month and encourage everyone to get involved. Uh, on item 73, read the report on short-term rental, uh, permit code compliance. Uh, thank you, Supervisor Friend, for your comments, and look forward to your additional direction there. It is something that, uh, my office here is about consistently, especially in the summer months. And I think, uh, as was mentioned, the fact that we're, um, you know, our county does collect an amount of transit-- transient occupancy tax, um, to support general services, it's, uh, it's important that we do our part as well, uh, and ensure that those vacation rentals are good community members. And that's all my comments. Supervisor Friend. -Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will move, uh, the consent agenda with the additional direction that Supervisor Coonerty provided on item, at just point on the item. I apologize. 58? Is that correct? -58. -Yeah. Thank you, Supervisor Coonerty. And then, for the additional direction on, uh, the short-term rental item, which is item, uh, 73. I think that we just need to make the report that we received. I think we need to make an annual report on compliance, and it needs to be more robust. And so, I would, I would like to, A, make that an annual report; B, though, I'd like to have, um, staff comes back in, um, I guess November, just give a few months for this data collection, uh, to provide some better compliance information around the number of complaints that we've received. The method of how it came in such as was it a phone call to the Sheriff's office or internal, uh, the status of those complaints, any denied renewals, and also, a process to make it easier for the community to file complaints and just better internal coordination with both the Sheriff's office and the auditor, controller, treasurer, tax collector. I think that these are all doable things. And this was all the expectation that the community had, and the board had when we, uh, first approved these changes to-- to really address, not just bad actors, but those that are operating outside the system to not make it easy for them to get a permit, but to make it difficult. But also, to have the community when they file a complaint, feel like that if it actually, assuming that it's bonafide actually feel like that they've got, uh, uh, a voice and support of the county on the back end to do it. The last part is that given that we've just approved this TOT, the community approved the TOT measure. As part of this, uh, report back also look at whether there's an additional, uh, compliance need within code compliance to address this issue. Thank you, Mr. Chair. -Thank you, Supervisor Friend. We have a motion. Is there a second? -Second, um... -Second by Sup- -I am fully supportive of, uh, Supervisor, uh, Supervisor, uh, Coonerty's, uh, suggestion for having that come back in August on item number 58. -All right. Thank you. So, motion by Supervisor Friend, second by Supervisor McPherson to adopt the consent agenda with additional direction on items 58 and 73. Any further discussion? Seeing none. Clerk, roll call vote, please. -Supervisor Friend. -Aye. -Coonerty? -Aye. -Caput? -Aye. -McPherson? -Aye. -And Koenig. -Aye. -Consent agenda passes unanimously as amended. -Thank you. And we'll proceed with our regular agenda and item 7, to consider a presentation on the 2022 California fire season by Fire Chief Nate Armstrong as outlined in a memorandum of the Director of General Services. And I'd like to welcome Chief Armstrong to give his presentation. -All right, uh, good morning, Chair Koenig, uh, supervisors, Mr. Palacios, thank you very much, uh, for the opportunity to be here this morning to, uh, present to you. I know that you have a very full agenda, so I'll try to be, uh, as brief as possible this morning. But I did want to take the opportunity just to update you all on where, um, the County Fire Department stands today and where CAL FIRE is kind of looking at the fire season, um, moving forward. So, just a real quickie, uh, review on the County Fire Department as a whole, uh, contracts been in place, uh, going back, uh, to 1948. It's a pretty long partnership between, um, CAL FIRE and the county and the County Fire services, the, uh, areas of the county that, um, the unincorporated portions of the county that aren't serviced by another, um, fire protection agency. And I'm sorry, but if we can get the slide to advance? There we go. Beautiful. Um, so, what that looks like, uh, year round as far as full-time staffing, we do have, um, two fire marshal staff as well as two training staff that are, um, work year-round, um, to train the volunteers and so forth, uh, take care of permitting for buildings within the County Fire area, also provide dispatch services year-round for, um, the County Fire Department, as well as the year-round management of the five volunteer companies and those exist in the communities of Lo-, uh, areas of Las Cumbres, Bonny Doon, Corralitos, uh, Davenport, and Loma Prieta. You see on the presentation, I put the wintertime staffing, uh, in quotes because the winter seems to have kind of disappeared for us. Uh, it continues to get shorter and shorter. What we used to see a, um, 5-to-6-month fire season in the north end of the state. Uh, we're now seeing a 9-to-10-month fire season. So, that's why we've kind of coined the term now, "fire year," and we just kind of have a peak fire season. So, what that, um, Amador staffing looks like is in those winter months where, uh, CAL FIRE's seasonal staff would otherwise be, uh, laid off, um, the county of Santa Cruz picks up the, um, the bill essentially for keeping 5 fire engine staff to provide service throughout that County Fire area. And if we can move on, please. And a note on that staffing, continuing that staffing was made possible by the passing of the, uh, benefit assessment a couple of years ago. That did bring that third person staffing back to the fire engines during that Amador, uh, staffing period. As far as our volunteers go, we've had a long-term goal of maintaining a hundred volunteers within the County Fire Department. Unfortunately, we just seem to hover at about that, uh, number of about 70. Um so, you see in your presentation there currently have about 60 of the fire-trained, um, volunteers. And then we have, uh, an additional 9, what we call Emergency Medical Responders or EMRs. And those folks are trained, uh, just to the medical level to be able to respond to, uh, medical aids within their community, as that is the highest volume of calls that, um, our emergency services see. Um, you can see there, we added 13 new members in, in 2022, and that just, um, kind of, uh, replaces 13 folks that we otherwise lost. A lot of folks will seem to fall off after their initial training. They realize it's a fairly significant commitment. And so, unfortunately, like I say, we kind of replace the same number that we-- we tend to lose through attrition. Uh, some of our challenges with, uh, maintaining that volunteer force is the-- the training and just the time commitment. It is significant. We realize people's lives are busy. Uh, but we can't drop below a certain level or, um, just due to their safety and the community's safety. Uh, we are exploring some other options as far as recruitment goes to bolster those numbers. Um, those look like, uh, more of a full-time recruitment, um, effort rather than just doing in the fall as we've traditionally done, it's just, uh, a matter of, um, time constraints on our staff. Uh, as well as, uh, trying to explore some sort of auxiliary positions that aren't exactly, um, emergency response but may, uh, add some value to the County Fire, um, Department mission. And then, uh, finally, I have a note there, um, as far as not instituting, um, single function programs. And what I mean by that is we've had several proposals come forward. Um, and some of them might come, uh, to, to you guys as supervisors looking for kind of a single or minimal training in one particular facet of emergency response. And then just allowing those volunteers to do that one thing and never really have any ongoing training. And it, just as a safety standpoint, I, I have yet to have one that we feel comfortable with safely, um, come forward in terms of, um, there seems to be a perception that wildland firefighting is not as dangerous as structural firefighting. And I can tell you, that's definitely not the case. So, I think, we, we have more of our full-time folks injured in the wildland firefighting environment than structure fires. Um, so, we just haven't really gotten to that point of finding, uh, a happy balance of, of bringing a program like that on. Um, moving on to our mobile equipment replacement, um, so, moving into a couple of years ago, you-- you know, the County Fire Department was, uh, in kind of a deficit spending. And so, we had the, uh, the benefit, the last benefit assessment in 2019 passed. And that's allowed us to move forward with replacing that kind of a hodgepodge of some of the equipment that we had throughout the county and making it more standardized. I do want to talk specifically to some of the types and kinds of fire apparatus that we have, um, because they are aimed at an all-risk, uh, mission. We are just focused on any one thing as far as structure fires or vegetation fires, rescue, whatever, whatever you might have. Um, and different apparatus suit different needs. So, uh, the first thing you see on there is the Type 1 fire engine. Um, I think a lot of people perceive a Type 1 fire engine as just a city fire engine. But we customize these engines, um, for a true rural response in mind. Um, you can't tell by the pictures on there because they're kind of a little bit stretched out. That bottom left photo is one of the two, um, brand new Type 1 fire engines that will be going to Corralitos and Davenport. Uh, that fire engine actually has a shorter wheelbase than our wildland firefighting engines. Uh, we, we build those things, um, so that they can handle our roads. Uh, they do look bigger, uh, and they're definitely boxier, but they aren't that much larger than, um, our Type 3 wildland firefighting engines. The important thing to note on those Type 1 fire engines is you need those fire engines for, um, our ISO rating or insurance services organization that rates, uh, communities and what everybody's homeowners' insurance is, is based off of those rates. Um, a large portion of that ISO rating has to do with the ability to move water and a lot of water. And those Type 1 fire engines have a 1,500 gallon per minute pump versus the wildland firefighting engines that only have to have a 250 gallon per minute pump. They also carry quite a bit more water, uh, 100 to 200 gallons more than our Type 3 fire engines. Uh, moving on to the Type 3 fire engines that we have, uh, that we've been continuing to, uh, be able to replace. Um, those are traditionally built with wildland response in mind. However, what we tend to do in the fire service is we try to make everything similar for whatever reasons. So, we've really built those Type 3 fire engines to also be able to handle structure fires. Our whole, um, our whole intent is to make sure that whatever piece of apparatus is responding, they will be able to handle, um, pretty much anything that, uh, is thrown at them. Uh, and then the other two portions of the fleet is, uh, the water tenders, which is just a giant tank of water on wheels, and, um, and our rescue vehicles which don't require a special license to drive. And that's kind of the first thing that our volunteers, um, move into as far as being able to drive an apparatus is that smaller vehicle that responds to medical aids, rescues, like, over the side kind of things. And our intent throughout the County Fire is to make sure that each of the companies has one, uh, Type 1, one Type 3, one water tender, and one rescue vehicle. And we should be to that standardized point within the next couple of years. That was again made possible by the passing of the last, um, benefit assessment. So, real quick on the couple of apparatus that we currently have on order. Um, we have two brand new, uh, Type 1 fire engines. If we can go to the next slide, please. Uh, two of those, uh, Type 1 fire engines will be going Corralitos and Davenport. Our folks were actually back in Wisconsin doing the final inspection on those last week and we should see them in California here, uh, in the coming weeks. Uh, we have two new Type 3 fire engines that were on order since last year. Those should have been here by now but due to supply chain shortages, we won't see them till the beginning of 2023. Those are going to go to the communities of Bonny Doon and Davenport. We have two new rescue vehicles that are currently being outfitted. Uh, those are going to go to the communities of Corralitos and Davenport. And then, moving into this next fiscal year, we actually moved up on our vehicle replacement a little bit, um, due to the length of time it's taking. It's now taking two years to get a fire engine built. Um, so, we had, um, a fire, um, our fifth, um, Type 3 fire engine added to this upcoming, uh, fiscal year's budget rather than waiting until 2024. Uh, moving on to, uh, just the last kind of final updates for County Fire, uh, in this last year, we did update our, uh, County Fire handbook. Uh, it was a needed update, our last revision was in 2015. And this was just, um, just an overhaul kind of, um, updating some things like forms and procedures, um, and some of the changes that we've made in our training standards to try to move, um, volunteers through the ranks a little bit faster. Uh, on the County Fire master plan, also a little outdated, this, um, this master plan is the primary, uh, role of the Fire Department Advisory Commission, the FDAC, that, um, all you supervisors have a commissioner that sits on that. Um, we are working actively on the revision of that and we're exploring some possibilities to seek input from, uh, the public. Um, as far as, uh, internal and external stakeholders, as far as what we want to see, um, is that driving force for the County Fire Department moving forward. And I'm sorry if we can advance the slide again. Um, I just put a note here of some kind of current advancements based on the previous master plan, uh, that we're still working under. And that's embracing technology. So, the County Fire website, unfortunately, is outdated. It's been a little, um, difficult to maintain. And so, we've, um, we're working on, uh, migrating that to a new environment right now and making it a little bit more, um, present with the times trying to add the ability for volunteer candidates to be able to apply through that, um, portal and just generally be a little more current. Uh, we've instituted, um, with the other fire agencies in the county, a tablet command software, which is, um, an incident management platform. And we're also working on ins-- instituting a new, um, statistics and, um, kind of fire prevention software that will help us catalog some of our efforts a little better. Uh, moving on to some fire prevention measures on the CAL FIRE side. So, in that photo there, sorry, it's small but you can see that little machine out in front of the gentleman in the-- in the woods there. That is the County Fire purchased, um, masticator, uh, that was purchased this last year. Uh, it's purchased by the county. We're operating it in the County Fire area with CAL FIRE, uh, firefighters during the fuel reduction season. And what that's given us the ability to do is it, it clears about a quarter of an acre an hour with a decent operator, I guess. Um, uh, we did put about 100 hours on that, on that piece of equipment since January. Uh, and it worked on three separate projects in the County Fire or, sorry, four separate projects so far, three in the Bonny Doon area and then one on West Ridge near Loch Lomond. Um, the interesting thing about it is that we, um, as County, as CAL FIRE builds out vegetation management pro-- projects, we had to do it a couple of years in advance due to the amount of time it takes to go through the secret process for Cal-- for California Environmental Quality Act. Not a lot of our current projects were built for mechanical disturbance. So, all of our future projects, knowing that we have this piece of equipment now, will be, um, written with that, um, with that in mind so that we can utilize this on more projects throughout the county. Also looking at, um, kind of getting a more robust, uh, uh, pool of operators to include some of our volunteers so that we can continue this fuel reduction efforts, uh, year-round. Uh, just a couple of pictures. So, you can see these, uh, these firefighters out in, in some brush. That's kind of typical, um, vegetation understory that we see through a lot of the county. If you go to the next slide, that is the same piece, or it's taken from a different perspective. But that's the same piece after a couple of hours of work. And you can see it's a nice little park-like setting. So, it's, uh, it's a really great tool and we hope to continue to be able to use it more. Uh, moving forward into some curtain burners. So, these are a really interesting, um, tool that we've been able to recently acquire. Uh, CAL FIRE as a whole on the, on the state's, on the statewide, um, owns 10 of these curtain burners. And what it is, you can see it kind of looks like, uh, like a roll-off dumpster. It's got, it introduces a curtain of air that provides a more, um, more complete combustion. It also keeps, um, those embers and smoke and everything inside of that, uh, vessel while it burns. And so, we, we see very little emission. We see very little embers flying out. And what that does for us is it gives us the ability to consume a lot of dead and down fuel. Um, and it allows us to-- we burn later into the summer, uh, grant we still, we keep people monitoring these things. We have a fire engine there or some source of water. Uh, but it does allow us to burn when otherwise, uh, burning season is suspended. Uh, like it's like I have here one curtain burner can burn up to about 20 tons of material per day. Um, again, that, it has to do with orientation and a good operator, I'm sure. Um, but the one thing that we see is efficiency. So, if we can move to the next slide, uh, like I said, CAL FIRE owns 10 of these. Um, our staff was able to acquire three of those 10. And this is the last time I'm ever gonna talk about it publicly because I don't want the other units to catch on on what we're doing here. Um, so, having those three, um, having those three curtain burners is a lot more efficient. We can be burning in one while we're unloading one and loading another one. Uh, and if you'd seen it in the previous photo, you don't need to go back. But what comes out of that is basically a small pile of ash and char. And we're working with some, um, outside folks right now that might have a use for that char. So, it might be a very sustainable thing. And we do have, um, projects throughout the county that we're looking at using these on. Um, we're working really closely with the fire safe councils and some other land, uh, managers with the use of these. And I never miss an opportunity to plug our fire-safe councils. They're an absolutely tremendous group of folks. They're doing really great work through the county. So, thank, uh, your board for the support of those folks as well. Uh, one more kind of note on fire prevention, CAL FIRE was able to purchase in place, um, five new, um, 10,000-gallon tanks. We do place three of those in Santa Cruz County. Um, they're metal tanks. They're a lot more resilient than some of those plastic or composite ones. Uh, they're placed in several remote areas of the county. And there, they've either all been filled or are currently in the process of being filled now and those are for fire protection purposes only. So, finally moving forward into the five-year outlook, um, it looks grim as always. I'm sure you guys have gotten used to that. Um, looking at this past rainy season that we had is interesting. It's, um, you know, I'm sure many of you remember and are probably maybe monitoring as much as I am. Started out with a good bang in November and early December. Seemed like we were gonna, it's like the optimist in me wanted to say, hey, the-- the drought might be over. Then came January through March. Uh, and what we experienced, um, the one, uh, stat that I saw was it was the driest first quarter in the Bay Area in 107 years. Uh, and many of you guys might remember, uh, that period, we didn't, we didn't get much of anything, had some 80- and 90-degree days, as a matter of fact, I think in February. So, um, then we came back in the late spring and did get a little bit more rain. So, depending on where you sit in the county, um, you may have seen close to an average rainfall year, um, due to the number of microclimates and geography that we have, it just, it varies greatly throughout the county. Uh, where I live in the San Lorenzo Valley, we did get 50 inches of rain, which is great. That's right at that average, but not the whole county saw that. The other thing being while we did get, um, those brief spouts of heavy rain, it's not enough to crush the long-term drought. And we're seeing that in our fuels, uh, right now, as we continue to, um, take fuel moisture samples, uh, throughout the county. Uh, we see those continuously being, uh, either at or, uh, very near, uh, historic lows. And when we look at those, um, those live fuel moistures for is basically their resilience to fire spread. The other component of that is the dead fuel. And we're seeing a drastic, uh, increase in just dead fuels, which, as you can imagine, the fuel moisture of those is relatively zero. Um, so, there's a lot of dead fuel, a lot of very receptive fuel in the county that, um, may provide for fire spread. Uh, looking at some of the predictive services kind of outlooks for the year, they've been spot on so far. Um, they talked about monsoonal moisture, which is, um, which is what you get the lightning out of. Monsoonal moisture sounds good, but sometimes it's wet, sometimes it's dry. And that's, uh, what we saw in this last about ten-day period, um, maybe not locally here but throughout the state is right in line with predictions that there was gonna be flows that move, move from the south to the north. Um, and had a lot of, uh, lightning strikes throughout the other portions of the state. We've avoided them so far and some of the, uh, local, um, more local for us, uh, outlook has said, um, that we should see, um, fewer extended heat waves, which if you look back at 2020 when we had the catastrophic fire season here locally, that was spurred by one of the things, uh, was we had like a week-long, terrible heatwave right before that dry lightning came through, um, really prepping a lot of the fuels. And we should see a lot fewer of those this year, according to models. Uh, should also see a little more prevalent, um, coastal influence moisture. So, hopefully, um, hopefully we continue to see that. We have, um, what the current outlook says is that July into August will be above normal, uh, fire potential throughout the region. And that, um, oh, that's it, actually, that I had on that. And so, um, as you see right now, all the grasses throughout the county are already cured. Um, and it's a little early or they hit that point a little earlier in the year. Um, so, we'll just, we will see, we're, we're obviously already seeing those, those initial attack vegetation fires already starting. Um, looking at kind of some current trends, if we can go to the next slide. Um, these figures are as of a week ago today, I'll probably get another update today. Those numbers will obviously all be higher. But we're seeing the trends stay consistent that, uh, we're seeing fewer fires statewide and for fewer acres than the same timeframe last year, which is, uh, favorable for us. And I'm sure kind of a result of those late season rains that have-- that have hit kind of throughout the state. Uh, and that same goes that statewide. And then in the northern region, which we fall in Santa Cruz County, we see the same thing. We're seeing fewer fires for fewer acres in the same time period last year. So, that's encouraging. Uh, I think I just have one or two more slides here on, uh, outlook as far as resources, everybody's always asking what, what do we have more this year than we did last year and unfortunately, not much. Um, so, what's happening on the aircraft side of things, we're seeing more of those, uh, have S-70i there. That's what everybody knows as the Blackhawks or the Firehawks. Uh, we're seeing more of those placed in the service statewide. Uh, the one that's closest to us, that's, uh, right by Lexington Reservoir, um, is still one of those current, old Vietnam-era Hueys. Um, that will be replaced by the Firehawk later this year. And it will, unfortunately, be moving to Moffett Field then, uh, just due to its size. But it does fly a lot faster, and it carries four times the amount of water. So, we think that trade-off is probably gonna be good. Um, what we've seen as far as staffing, we don't have extra bodies, uh, any more bodies than we have in the last couple of years. Uh, we hope to see some more come through, uh, the governor's budget. But what we have done, um, this last couple of years, uh, last year and this year was, uh, being able to bring back our seasonal staffing earlier through an augmentation, uh, piece through the Department of Finance. And so, whereas normally we wouldn't be bringing back our peak firefighters until like, right now, we're able to bring them back in April. And I'm sure that with the recent fire activity, you can appreciate that that was, uh, a good move being able to bring those folks back early. And like I said, we're just waiting on, uh, the final governor's budget to see if we get any, um, uh, base-level staffing increases. And, um, hand crews continue to be, uh, an issue. Uh, you know, we have 200 and some, a little over 200 funded, uh, hand crews statewide between the relationship with CDCR, relationship with, um, with CCC's and then our own, um, seasonal firefighter hand crews that we've been at, begun to utilize last couple of years. Of those 200 funded crews, statewide we're currently looking at anywhere between like, 60 or 70 or staffing a given time just due to the shortage of, of personnel to put on them. And just for, for context, 60 to 70 crews, we used to put that on one fire. And that's what we have in the entire state right now. So-- so, we're hurting in the, in the crew world for sure. Um, we are projected to, uh, begin acquisition of some more helicopters, bulldozers, fire engines, everything at the statewide level to be able, um, for that surge capacity in the peak fire season. Just a couple of hindrances on that, one, I just told you about the lead time, it's taking two years to build a fire engine. So, it'll be a couple of years before we see those. And also, they don't come with the personnel form. So, we're constantly pushing to get personnel added for all that extra equipment. Uh, and finally, in summary, it wouldn't be a five-year outlook without a look at the, uh, Sierra snowpack. There it is, it's, uh, nonexistent as of today. Uh, so, uh, thank you very much for your time and I'm happy to answer any questions that the board might have. -Thank you very much, Chief Armstrong. Any questions or comments from members of the board? -Um, yeah, Mr. Chair. -Supervisor McPherson. -Yeah, my, my thanks to you, Chief Armstrong, and Michael Beaton, the County Director of General Services. I have several questions and you've maybe sort of answered them. Uh, and I think I'll just ask them one by one. And so, maybe you can get through the direct. Um, on the, uh, the thirteen new volunteers are part of the total of 71 or is it 71 plus 13? -They are part of the total 71. -Okay. And regarding the LAFCO fi, um, the fire feasibility study, do you have a timeframe for the study and what will be the process, uh, to work with Fire Department Advisory Commission or FDAC, um, and the fire districts to discuss the study? Do you have a timeframe? -I believe, I don't wanna speak out of turn on that one. I don't know if Director Beaton might have a better answer as we're kind of working on [crosstalk] on actual, um, proposals for him and when that might be awarded. -What and what's, what's the pro-- in addition to that is what's, what's the process to renegotiate the CAL FIRE and County Fire contract to? -We're going in. -Uh, um, thank you, Supervisor. I'm Michael Beaton, Director of General Services for the County of Santa Cruz. Uh, so, we talked about the, uh, CAL FIRE agreement. Uh, it is currently under the, uh, just finishing its second year of a three-year contract. Uh, we'll begin negotiations regarding, uh, renewal of that agreement for another potential three-year term, uh, probably starting in about, uh, three months or so, uh, with CAL FIRE. Uh, related to the LAFCO study, uh, it is an item that has been brought to the Fire Department Advisory Commission for review, as well as we are still working with LAFCO to do, uh, a potential special fire study, uh, to look at county-wide services, uh, not just those provided through the CSA-48 and CSA-4 but all County Fire, uh, districts throughout the county. Uh, that is currently underway. Uh, we are working with LAFCO right now to develop what that scope of work might be, uh, to potentially be issued through our, uh, local, uh, through LAFCO. -Okay, and, um, FDAC is gonna be involved in the process, or will their, um, input be taken into consideration as part of the process then? -Yes, um, the Fire Department Advisory Commission, their scope and role is specifically related to the CSA-48 area and the CSA-4, uh, area. Um, we have reviewed, uh, some of the annexations, um, uh, areas that were recommended in the LAFCO report. Uh, they have not applied as far as whether support or no support, uh, for the different areas, but they are aware of it. And it's something that we continue to have on our agenda with the Fire Department Advisory Commission. Uh, but they will have significant input into the process as we move forward. -We do hope then that the county master plan would be completed or renewed and updated, um, when do you put your best projections? -And, great question. Uh, so the fire, uh, the fire department master plan, we were actually hoping to have it done before the, uh, uh, so we have better input from the community as far as what they expect and what they wanna see in their fire department services as. Um, timing-wise, I, I believe that, uh, we're going to run in concert with what the special fire study is gonna have. So, I do believe that we will have the, at least a draft for your board to consider for the fire department advise, uh, master plan, uh, around the same time that LAFCO, uh, will be, I, I believe concluding or almost concluding their special fire study for fire department services countywide. -Yeah, okay. And then maybe Chief Armstrong, I think just around sixty minutes, it might have been a rerun about that big, that, the whole 3,000 gallons or something. Is that the one that's gonna go to Moffett Field? Uh, uh, I would say- -Are you- -You're talking concerned about how they were allocated and there were a lot of fires going on at the same time, the CGU fire was going on. But, um, is that where that would be headquartered then in Moffett Field? -So, that's a slightly different deal. But it also dovetails into, uh, a new effort by CAL FIRE. Um, so, that came about in about 2020. And those helicopters were primarily out of, um, Southern California. They were, um, operated in LA and Orange County from what I remember. And they were actually funded by, um, by electrical utilities. Um, so, those are the big Chinook, uh, helicopters. Um, those are still in place in Southern California, something that, um, CAL FIRE did this year. And I think the number is 14. We have exclusive use, um, contracts with 14 of similar large Chinook or Black hotelico-- Blackhawk helicopters that are able to drop a significant amount more water. Those are committed purely to CAL just like they'd be a CAL FIRE aircraft. And we saw this last week in, um, we had a 20-acre fire in San Mateo County threatening a lot of homes, uh, right off 280. I think we had four of those large helicopters on that fire. So, they are, they are available to us locally. -And they... -We hope to not see them is the thing. -They, they really operate very well and then at night, at night too. Is that correct? -Uh, it all depends on conditions. So, as far as night flying aircraft goes, um, where they would or would be most effective is stopping a rapidly expanding vegetation fire and maybe keeping it from going to that major incident. Where we saw some comments about the use of those on major fires is their-- their effectiveness at night on something that's already 100,000-plus acres is still kind of in debate. But they are, they may be available for that purpose. -Okay, thank you for the up-- upgrade, and, um, yeah, everybody's on pins and needles. Um, thank you. -Absolutely. Thank you, sir. -Thank you, Supervisor McPherson. Supervisor Friend. -Thank you, I'll, I'll briefly just answer one of Supervisor McPherson's questions is that the item, the feasibility study comes to LAFCO for approval of the contract on August 3rd at that meeting, just so you can get a sense of the timing of this, kind of the kickoff of that process. And Chief, a great appreciation to you and your team. Um, I feel like congratulating you again on your current role. And let me just say, um, that-- that I, I do have a lot of concerns with what the state may do in the renegotiation of the contract. I have concerns over the long-term viability with Amador. And I, uh, I would encourage, and I know you will, but active participation in these countywide feasibility studies as LAFCO, as agencies look for consolidation and mergers, you need to have a seat at the table, as I know you will. But also, we need to be looking at the long-term viability of fire protection within this county. And, and it's, and to me, it's unclear with some of the state investments a lot in equipment less than people. Uh, and in an attempt to maybe renegotiate some of these agreements in some of these communities that, that the long-term viability of our current, uh, funding mechanism is really present. And so, I'm concerned, uh, uh, meaning that I, that I think that we need to look more toward, uh, some of these mergers and consolidations that are on the table in order to ensure that, that some of these rural communities, um, continue to have that level of fire protection. So, um, I recognize that you represent various roles in your current capacity. But, um, as we work on these renegotiations, um, to the degree that you could look into a crystal ball and see the long-term financial commitment from the state or not. That, that, it really is going to dovetail in with the need for, for these consolidations so, uh, that's just my, my pitch to ensure that you have an active role in this discussion at LAFCO and with these agencies that are coming forward in CSA 48 to look at current mergers. So that we can have a soft landing, should there be, uh, a pull back from the State on some of these agreements. -Thank you, sir. -Thank you, Supervisor Friend. Supervisor Coonerty? -Uh, thank you. Thank you, Chief. Um, for the presentation, the good news about the new equipment and hopefully, the weather forecast, uh, hold, uh, as you mentioned. Two questions, uh, for you. One is, uh, what are we doing to create a pipeline in, uh, firefighters? Uh, in order to make sure, you know, whereas every industry in Santa Cruz County is facing this challenge for it's an expensive place to live and so, um, it's difficult to rec-- recruit and retain firefighters. So, the first question is, what are, what are we doing to ensure we have an adequate supply of firefighters who can, uh, live and work in this County? -Yeah, and as part of the, um, FDAC, they do have a volunteer recruitment subcommittee, uh, have them done a couple of surveys of, uh, items that of current and former volunteers, um, to find items that they feel might, uh, bring in that pull. A couple of those things are things that are, I already mentioned kind of having that year-end recruitment. Um, adjusting the training portion a little bit to be able to get people in sooner. Um, we realized in looking at the past that, um, some folks' interest falls off, um, in from the time that they sign up and they say they want to do it and then the time that we get actually are able to get them through their initial training. So, we're trying to speed up, kind of, lower that bar eventually so that they sign up and right away they're-- they're in the pool. They're getting some, sort of, training before they get the big formal training. Uh, that's, kind of, the most current one as it says we move forward, um, uh, with the County Fire website and some other marketing tools that we had digital marking that we hope to, um, that we hope to put in place. We're hoping that we're able to pull people in right now, to, to be quite frank, the application process is a little bit cumbersome on folks. So, we're really looking to streamline that process and really capture people, um, that may have interest that we're currently missing. It's basically trying to, uh, really retain the whole pool that may have interest, uh, as well as like I say, going after some folks that may not know it's there through some digital marketing that we've never done before. -And this is, I, my question was primarily around the paid firefighters. -Oh. -So, do you have any trouble recruiting or retaining. -Gosh, I, uh, it's, it's difficult right now. Um, I was just having a chat outside in the hall here before we started and the, um, the workforce seems to have dried up a little bit. Um, and that's not unique to CAL FIRE, it's not unique to the County Fire Department. That's unique to a lot of public service agencies right now, we were seeing, um, we're seeing fire departments and police departments offering signing bonuses which I-- I can't believe we're, you know, a lot of us when we started 20 or plus years ago had to apply with 10,000 other people for two jobs. Um, and we're seeing the opposite of that now, so... I, I wish I had any answer for you, Supervisor Coonerty. It's, it's a statewide problem that, that we're all looking at right now. -Yeah, appreciate that. Yeah, I mean, I, I don't know if there's worth partnering with various school districts or the County Office of Education. Try to create a pipeline and let people know where or relay that there's an opportunity here to, to serve the community and, and, and make a good living, um, assisted by the State and the Community in serving CAL FIRE. Uh, that my second question was, uh, I think I appreciate the efforts that you're, you're engaging in to reduce fuel, uh, and we also are working with, uh, property owners through Firewise and other, uh, efforts to reduce fuel. Do we have a sense of like what the number of acres is and how many acres we've addressed? Like it's-- are we, are we working based on data or are we just doing, sort of, project by project where there's funding and opportunity? Um, like have-- do we know how big the problem is and how-- how much of an effort we've made in re, reducing some of that fuel? -Sure, I, man, I wish I had, uh, uh, squared a number for you and I'd be happy to get it to you. Um, the one major, uh, so we, we have several varieties of projects that, um, CAL FIRE itself does. Um, those usually being, you know, fuel reduction, the shaded fuel brakes you see like the photos in-- in, um, in the presentation. Um, through, um, prescribed burning, which was minimal this, um, spring here locally. Um, but the one major thing that we're seeing, it's kind of the easiest to track acreage on is the grants. Um, so like I said that-- that "winter period" keeps getting shorter and shorter for us. That's been the time that the CAL FIRE folks have been able to commit a hundred percent to fuel reduction, uh, and that period is only two or three months now, so. I want to say that locally our-- our folks weren't able to treat more than about a hundred or 200 acres this fire, this winter season, but what we're really seeing is the management of grants locally. Uh, my staff is managing a little over $28 million worth of grants. Uh, they have to do a fire prevention, fuel reduction, forest health resilience and the vast majority of those were here within Santa Cruz County through, um, the RCD, the local fire safe councils, and those are actually measurable and we could bring some of the numbers back to the board as far as how many acres are treated and so forth. -Great, and I think it's, uh, probably, uh, uh, a good thing for the County Operational Plan to have that as a goal. Have the number, number of acres and the number, uh, that they were able to address through these programs and then be able to-- to chip away at it a little bit, uh, every year in order to, to reduce the overall fuel capacity and danger. So, thank you very much. -Thank you, Supervisor Coonerty. -Me. -Supervisor Caput. -Thanks for all the work you do out there. It's a, uh, it's been really difficult the last few years and, uh, I guess the, on the burned-out area, where the fires were about two years ago, uh, that, that area should be fairly safe and, uh, um, as far as another fire is starting in that area, right? I mean there's, when it's burned out, it doesn't have a lot of fuel. About how many years does that actually last, though? Do we have any idea? -Um, I wish I could say it was totally safe but unfortunately, what if, firefighters are terrible, we're always dealing with gloom, right? Um, what we have in that area is a lot of dead fuel that is ripe to burn, and we also have a lot of new growth of brush and you put the-- so, basically, that entire landscape is changed and we're seeing some fuel types in there that weren't as present before. Um, so we do have that combination of new types of brush as well as a lot of dead fuel. So, I wouldn't say that it's completely safe, I'd say that, um, through the areas that, um, had a little more complete combustion or burn in them that those might be slightly, uh, reduced. Um, kind of fire problem in there but for a large portion of the perimeter of the fire, like right on the fringes of it, was really what we call a kind-- a kind of a dirty burn. It didn't burn real complete, um, it's real patchwork mosaic, and so you do have a lot of dry fuel left immediately around that fire area from two years ago. It's still just as dangerous today as it was then, if not a little more so. -Right. Okay. Then I guess, uh, it must be, uh, difficult to recruit the actual helicopter pilots. Are they full-time firefighters or are they on call? -Yeah, so, um, the, the pilots for the CAL FIRE helicopters are actual CAL FIRE employees and, um, we see a lot of veterans. And so, that's part, it's not the reason that we went to Blackhawks, um, but it's also a benefit that we went to those Blackhawks because we have a lot of exiting veterans from the military right now. -Sure. -They have a lot of experience flying those aircraft and we capitalize on that by recruiting those folks and getting them into the system. So, they are full-time, they work year-round, um, and they're trained specifically for fire and rescue missions. -So, if they're not flying a helicopter, they are regular fire, uh, fighter. -No, they're-- they're just they're there to fly the helicopter. They're fire trained but they're the pilot and pilot only. -Okay. Okay. And then I saw something on the screen there kind of, um, I-- I, missed it. Something about mon-- monsoon rains. What, what was that about? -Yes. Yeah, that was something that, that we're seeing as far as the-- the long-term models that show monsoonal moisture. Which is where you get your thunder and, thunderstorms and lighting out of monsoonal moisture. So, they can't be specific enough in these long-term outlooks to tell us where they're gonna land. We can't, so we don't know if we'll get the brawn of it, or we'll get kind of an edge. We don't know if it will be wet or if it will be dry, but just know that there is that possibility of some sort of monsoonal activity coming through. They're saying continue it through the end of July and that's statewide, that's not specific to Santa Cruz County, so. The target is in California, you just don't know exactly where at, in California. -Okay, and, uh, the last question. What was it couple days ago in Watsonville there was ash in the air, was that a lighting fire type thing, uh, somewhere? -Yeah, there was, uh. Gosh, it was right near the Slough, I believe there was about a two-acre grass fire the other day. Um, that was, uh, i-it wasn't immediately threatening or anything, they were able to stop it relatively quick, but we probably have a little bit of an onshore flow which creates a, put that ash out in the area and raining down on folks. -And I, I guess, uh, in the over by Madera and all that they had a lot of lightning, uh. -Quite, uh, quite a bit more. -Yeah, but a quite a few fires are minimal. -Lower CN so far, statewide. Quite a few fires but they've all stayed small. Um, which is great for this time of year and, and again is kind of, uh, probably testament to some of that late season, late spring season moisture that we had coming through, keeping those fields damp in a little bit right now. Had we got that lightning surge two months from now, we'd probably be looking at another scenario like we had statewide in 2020. -Well, we, uh, uh, thank you very much and God bless you and all the men and women there in the Fire Department. Thank you. -Thank you, sir. -Thank you, Supervisor Caput. One question for you, Chief Armstrong, um, and we hear a lot about concerns for evacuation routes, um, from constituents. What is the best way, uh, to get a new evacuation route established? -Mmm, man. That's a big partnership and I know, um, uh, I don't want to speak for OR3 but OR3 was just working on a project for exactly that. Uh, unfortunately, funding sources have changed so it's really, um, incumbent upon all of the agencies involved between OR3, ourselves, um, um, public works, to really be nimble and able to spring on, on, as we plan this projects be enable to pivot to new funding sources or kind of other options for creative involvement from the community do allowed us. Another issue that we see is some folks just don't wanna grant, um, passage through their property, um, which is unfortunate, um. But we'll continue to try to work through those scenarios to try and enhance, uh. I'd hate to ever see an issue like what happened in Inyo County in 2018, where you have, uh, huge community with only one way out. And we do have several bills unfortunately in this, uh, in the County. -Right. So, our officers' funds and current resilience applying for grants. Obviously, your team applying for grants, um, as far as season, seasons themselves which they can involve the Fire Safe Council and Firewise to help identify those projects and elevate them then, um, to your team. -A hundred percent, yeah and we work very closely with the RCDM at Fire Safe Councils on anything that comes forward in trying to support their efforts, financially or however we can support it operationally. -Alright. Thank you. -Thank you, Sir. -Alright, do we have any public comment on this item? -Yeah. Please approach the podium. -Thank you, um, Chief Armstrong. My name is Becky Steinbruner and I live in rural Aptos in the mountains, and I noticed that none of you asked him about the problems that are ongoing with volunteers, that they have been dismissed or harassed to the point that they resigned. Now, I talked with you earlier about Mr. Coffman's letter and none of you asked him about it so I'm gonna ask the question. Chief Armstrong, as the Chief of County Fire, why are, uh, why has County Fire lost six well-trained volunteers? Some of them resigned because of, uh, harassment or the way they were treated during and after CZU fire. One, Mr. Matthew Coffman recently was dismissed, not put on suspension but dismissed, because he simply questioned CAL FIRE and what happened in CZU fire. I want you to explain that to the board and to the public this morning. It is reducing the well-trained volunteers that we depend on, who stayed behind in the CZU fire when CAL FIRE was not there. And they saved their communities working with volunteers who were their neighbors. I want an answer this morning. I also have questions about access and thank you, Supervisor Koenig, for bringing up the access. What is going on with state park's Big Basin? I'm sorry, I'm asking you, uh, Chief Armstrong. Uh, what is going on with the access to Big Basin for the last chance route? Part of what is happening with our volunteer recruitment is the, it's the poor treatment that they are given. I have personally witnessed Mr. Beaton, who is part of County Fire Volunteer, left in the station of Corralitos with a couple of other well-trained volunteers and the CAL FIRE staff went out on a county fire engine and left that well-trained volunteers sitting in the station. [silence] -Is there anyone in the Zoom that wish to come on this item? -Uh, let's just take, finish public comment and-- -We do have speakers on Zoom. LS, your microphone is now available. -Thank you. I'm a resident of Felton. Our house was half a mile from the CZU fire at the time when it was contained and we owe that existence of our house, um, to CAL FIRE, um, and certainly without local volunteers And as controversial as it is, and I don't have a strong opinion to locals who stayed in dangerous areas to slow down the fire. I don't, I don't know that CAL FIRE could've saved us alone. My comment is that I know a young lady with experience with wildfire in another state. She moved to Santa Cruz with a dream of fighting wildfire but the cost of housing she's spending herself working two jobs, trying to find a third, I know she's not the only person. She's stuck with limited career opportunities without financial support or education. Um, and so she can't volunteer for years to work her way into a paid position. I'd love to see some community fundraising to try to get Felton some stipend so that you can have volunteers for longer. The turnover can't be cost-effective, and you lose skilled volunteers. I would also lead-- love to see volunteers get some support at the County level or from CAL FIRE to encourage employers to hold their jobs and accommodate their volunteer work by giving them make-up hours to keep a steady income. Uh, with the workforce shortage, you might have some leverage to get a list of employers who made a vow to support the volunteers. I know a lot of employers, even large companies that have the finances don't want to give overtime hours, um, and if this is already being done, I apologize for my ignorance. Thank you so much. -Thank you. -Calling User 1. Your microphone is now available. -Erelyn Garred, answer Becky Steinbruner's pertinent questions. Stop treating members of the public, who are well-informed, like we don't exist. Those are tea questions. I would like to add some, um, uh, it's pretty outrageous and the way you treat women asking questions, right? So, that was an informative presentation that raises a lot of questions and I'd like to give you some references that seriously need to be investigated. We need to remove some known but rarely publicized concepts of the [inaudible] fires. One reference is GeoengineeringWatch.org, and the weather manipulation that is taking place with patents destroying the ozone, causing drought. Geoengineeringwatch.org with Dane Wigington. Another known cause is PGNE's defective powerlines and policies that they, they continue. Another source of fires, is the so-called smart meters, buyer's electric explosions. The Televisa and these smart meters around utility poles where all of these 4Gs soon to be 5G antennas are. I'm quoting from the stopsmartmeters.org. "Fatalities and serious injuries have been caused by smart meter fires and explosions. Following fire incidents, hundreds of thousands of smart meters were recalled and..." -Thank you, Ms. Garred. -William, your microphone is now available. -Uh, oh, excuse me. Uh, can you hear me? -Yes. -This is not William Mulholland, this is Douglas Deitch. I am a long-term resident, uh, Hudson Lane Deitch Drive at the back of, uh, the boundary of Cabrillo College. Uh, the Chief Armstrong, uh, could you please listen to this, I have a question. First of all, I'd like to generally commend law enforcement and our fire department for doing an excellent job. It's a tough job and particularly now. And so, generally, I'm very pleased with what's going on. In my specific case, where I lived for 50 years, uh, what we have is a problem dealing with existing county laws which are not being enforced. Specifically, uh, flammable access from public and private access roads, uh, 10 feet, uh, horizontal, 15 feet vertical. Uh, I've spoken with the last two, uh, fire department. The chiefs in Central Fire, uh, they basically refused to follow their oath of office and law to follow these laws. A County Fire Code. Uh, so what I'd like to know is, is it in this, their jurisdiction to be following these laws and as a board of supervisors, I've tried to contact their, they contact you, uh, to convey this, uh, to you, 'cause this-- it's a threatening, you know, uh, unsafe access ingress and egress as a, uh, Chair Koenig was talking about is exactly what I'm talking about. Uh, I have developed a property up there, probably $30 million worth of homes which has a, or maybe $300,000 potential tax revenue to the County. Private road, privately, uh, maintained, and all we'd like to do is have our laws maintained and the owners at the bottom of Hudson Lane we're not in our road group to, uh, decided for their violations of that, so, they will change it and if we have to go to court, we will have documented the violations that were there. Thank you very much. -Thank you, Mr. Deitch. -We have no further speakers for this item, Chair. -Alright, thank you. Then, I'll return to the board for action did that... Chief, do you want an opportunity to respond to that? -We norm-- we normally don't engage in a dialogue or communications, I'm sure the Chief will be happy to answer questions outside the meeting. -Great. -Alright, thank you. Then, I'll-I'll return to the board up for... -I move the recommended action. I don't know if, I don't know if... -Yeah, I believe it's just to-- accept. Do we need to acc-accept this item? -No, there's no action necessary. -Okay, very well. Thank you, Chief Armstrong, for your report. I will proceed to Item 8. Public hearing to consider County Service Area 48 and County Service Area 4 Fire Protection Special Benefit Assessment charge report for fiscal year 22-23 and adopt resolutions confirming said reports for CSA 48 2020, CSA 48 and CSA 4 as outlined in memorandum with the Director of General Services. Director Beaton will be providing, uh, overview. -Uh, thank you, Board. Uh, Michael Beaton, Director of General Services, just available for staff, uh, as support to this item. If there's any questions from the Board or the public? -Thank you, are there any questions from members of the board? [silence] -Seeing none, any member of the public who wishes to come out on this item? -Thank you. Becky Steinbruner, I'm a resident of rural Aptos. On a, uh, tax item, CSA 48. Um, first of all, you need to open public hearing. And, second of all, the only reason I found out about this is because I happen to look in the legal notices of the Santa Cruz Sentinel on, um, June 18 and saw that this was going to happen. There is absolutely no notice on County Fire website about this, about the budget, the proposed budget, nothing. And I understand that websites take maintenance, but the County Fire did put, uh, a press release on the homepage of the County Fire website about, um, the close of burn season on April 6. So, it is possible. Public has had no notice about this hearing at all. I'm opposed to these increases, um. I, uh, it, and it isn't that I don't support fire protection. It's the way that the money is being managed, mismanaged and really, um, for all the talk about FDAC, they really are not given the information in a timely manner to be able to make recommendations to your board. There's no notice on the, um, this is the first today I've heard of the draft masterplan being open for public comment. There's nothing on the website. How are you expecting the public to be mea-- to give meaningful input when no one even knows it's happening? I'm opposed to their increases, the special benefit assessment was put through, in my opinion, illegally. It was an assessment district. It was tacked on to visibly on the ballot. A County Service Area, which is a completely different funding mechanism. Special dis-- special benefit assessments are illegal under Government Code 5078.2b, that clearly states, you cannot levy special benefit assessment for fire suppression on state responsibility lands that are-- -Thank you, Ms. Steinbruner. -Declare that we'll officially open to public hearing and, uh, please note, uh, make sure that Ms. Steinbruner's comment of opposition is added to the record. Seeing no one else here in chambers wishes to address us on this item, is there anyone on Zoom? -We do have one speaker on Zoom. Calling User 1, your microphone is now available. -Erelyn Garred, I'm also opposed to these increases. And, I would like to see Becky Steinbruner, who is very knowledgeable and has been a volunteer firefighter, uh, do a presentation on this topic of fires. The point she just made that special benefit assessment, the way you are doing it, are illegal. And will anyone on the Board of Supervisors address these serious issues? I am, I just, over and over, feel like the public is not being well represented. The well-being of the public is being harmed through many many aspects and what are causing all these fires, this is not natural weather we're experiencing. It is not wise to let PGNE cause fires. I'm opposed to this and answer Becky Steinbruner's question, it is not appropriate that you would say, "Oh, they could be answered in the call." The public needs to hear. You are supposed to represent the public, not special interest. Those are my comments. -Thank you, Ms. Garred. -We have no further speakers for this item, Chair. -All right. Then, I'll return to the Board for action. -Uh, Mr. Chair. I, if I could, um, as one who worked on, um, CSA 48 in the update, um, we went through all the legal processes. Looked at them all and I think that they were fully met, and I guess it's to re-ask the County Council and one, one word to answer or not. Uh, did we follow the legal procedures that were necessary for-- to, uh, upgrade and establish CSA 48? -Yeah, thank you, Supervisor. We've been litigating this case, um, with petitioner for almost two years now, and, and petitioner's has not been able to move it forward. I've seen no indication of any illegality or any impropriety as-- associated with the electro proceedings or with the implementation of the electro decision and frankly, we just look forward to getting in the court to, uh, continue to defend the case at some point. -Move to action. -Thank you, Supervisor McPherson and we have, um, a motion. -Second. -Second by Supervisor Coonerty, any further discussion? Seeing none. Clerk, roll call vote, please. -Supervisor Friend? -Aye. -Coonerty? -Aye. -Caput? -Aye. -McPherson? -Aye. -And Koenig? -Aye. -This item passes unanimously. Thank you [clears throat] very much Director Beaton. We'll now proceed with Item 9 to consider the approval of final recommended awards from the collective of results and evidenced-based investments request for proposals, process. Consider approval of three months of transition funding for fiscal year 21-22 core program is not recommended for funding in fiscal year 22-23. Direct the Human Services Department to return to the Board on or before December 13, 2022, with an update, particularly the actions as outlined in the memorandum of the Director of Human Services. Welcome, Director Morris. Take it away. -Uh, good morning, thank you. And good morning, Chair Koenig, I'm Randy Morris, Human Services Director. I'm joined by Kimberly Peterson, the Deputy Director. Though today's presentation is much shorter than the one that brought us in front of you on June 7. So, I will be the one presenting today but, uh, Kimberly is here with a lot of materials in case there is, uh, question and answer so we can be responsive. Um, on June 7, just to briefly catch us all up, uh, your Board approved our recommended actions of moving the slate of recommended awards forward. But you also gave us one additional direction, and that was to remove one particular grant and to come back today with a recommendation to how to repurpose those funds within the core allocation. And you also gave us, um, one last additional direction which is to return today and speak to how the contracting oversight would look which we, um, speak to. I do want to make sure to remind your Board and the public listening that this is a, um, dual jurisdiction funding um, relationship with the City of Santa Cruz. So, I do want to make sure everyone is aware that that afternoon, Kimberly, and I, pro-- co-presented to the Santa Cruz City Council, and the City Council also approved the recommended actions. And they gave very specific direction to the City Manager's Office to return at their budget hearings on June 14 to look for a new funding source to try to help support funding for the community-based organizations that were not funded. So, they had a different but very specific direction. At the City Council June 14th budget hearings, the City Council adopted their $1,080,000 of appropriations to the core allocation and they deferred the request until this afternoon where Kimberly and I will be to look for new funding, uh, to try to help support those agencies that were not funded. I'm sharing that background because bundled this afternoon on consent is our, uh, CORE funding allocations in the City as approved by the Council. And this afternoon we'll be in front of the Council, uh, to close up this discussion and to also have a discussion which is part of our recommended actions to find some new funding to help support some of the agencies. Um, I, um, so this brings us to today. A short presentation. The first is we have modified the recommended actions that we brought to you on June 7th. And we essentially have two, uh, new ones. One is an adjustment, and those who are being recommended for awards, which I'll speak to in a minute. And the second is we did identify a $500,000 one-time funding source, which I'll speak to what that source is for some, um, a second action in front of you. Uh, the second agenda item is a very quick update on what happened in the appeals process. Um, and I want to bring the community's attention and mind your board that in the materials is a letter from the General Services Department Director, Michael Beaton, his team managed the appeal, and he is here and available to answer any questions about the appeal process, if necessary. And then finally, just sort of walk through what the next steps are depending on the direction of your board and the final direction this afternoon from the council. Okay. So that brings us to, um, the first of the Modified Recommended Actions in front of your board today. I want to underline that this recommended action is all within the parameters of the RFP that your board and the city council approved. We have taken the direction to eliminate one grant that we were given on June 7th and come back to recommend how to repurpose that money. And secondarily, we have taken the board-approved RFP parameter of staff discretion to recommend up to a 10% reduction in the grant awards to all applicants. And we have come back to recommend moving to what was a 3% reduction to a full 10% reduction. So, by putting those two funding, uh, streams together, it allowed us the opportunity to follow the rank order of those who applied in the medium and large tier, where the biggest competition was and fund one extra-large grant. And that is the senior network services aging and community program. That is a program that in their application stated that if funded by local general fund core money, they would be able to leverage state and federal area agency on aging money, an issue that was brought up as an area of concern for not getting funding before. So, this recommended action allows us to fund this organization. There was not enough funds to look at a second large application. So, we then turned to the medium tier where there was quite a bit of competition. And because those grant applications are much smaller, we were able to fund in this recommended action, the next four highest ranks programs. Um, this list is not in rank order, but, uh, just wanted to say the first in the medium is the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, which is a mentoring program. The second is Family Services Agency, who is the regional 988 provider soon to go live under federal action to provide suicide prevention hotline to the community. A third is Community Ventures: Guaranteed Income Program, which proposed to serve 30 LatinX families. It's in the communities that are low income to help them with, um, financial literacy, guaranteed income, and to help support them, um, become a a community that is not gonna be dependent on these funds. And then also the Diversity Center, LGB2Q uh, TQ mental health services. So, these 5, um, new recommended awards are modified from what we brought forward to you in, um, June 7th. And I want to take a moment to recognize that the overall package in front of you is an 11% increase in what the current CORE, um, allocation is that, uh, total $545,000 more dollars. Uh, I also want to make sure your board is aware. Um, if people have not done the math, that of the agencies being recommended for award, two-thirds of them are current CORE providers in terms of the dollars. And one-third are new. So that's just so you know how the math lands. And I also want to remind the board, though this is a shift in some agencies who are providing certain services, as we presented on June-- uh, on June 7th, there is an equitable distribution by geography by age, by race and core condition of wellbeing. So, the funding, uh, in front of you does spread services around the community that we do recognize some of the agencies who are not receiving funding as a change for them. The second, um, uh, slide here, uh, covers the rest of the recommended actions. I want to take a minute to talk about item two, because this is new. And I want to share with your board that this is outside, above, beyond in addition to the actual RFP frame, we have identified a one source, one time source of funding, and I want to take a minute to explain what it is 'cause some questions have came forward. In county human services budgeting, um, as we shared at our budget presentation last week, 88.5% of our budget is state and federal dollars. And the 11.5% that is in our budget is general fund that your board approves every year, and will hopefully approve this afternoon. When we have unexpected increases in the state revenue that we receive. Which we only know as we get towards the end of a fiscal year. That relieves the pressure on the amount of general fund that we need to sort of balance our budget. So given the state economy continues to be very strong. They con-continues to be a lot of vehicles being pur-purchased, vehicle license fees. Um, a lot of, um, people who are spending a lot of money in the economy, still our state revenues in the last two months have come in stronger than anticipated. So, in collaboration with our county administrator, who would otherwise pull that general fund back, not needed as approved in our budget. We together are bringing forward this one-time $500,000. I want to underline its one time and that's because it's only a byproduct of what I just said. And next fiscal year, we don't know what it'll be, and the economist predict will be in a recession. So, we felt it better to use this one time, uh, money to bring forward a new recommendation. Which as listed in the materials is a recognition of what we heard from a lot of the community-based organizations that it was going to be very difficult given we agreed to delay the applications 'cause of the Omicron Variant. It pushed these recommended awards to the very end of the fiscal year. And there are a number of agencies who've had this funding for a long time who, uh, did not submit competitive applications are not being recommended awards. So, put together, we recommend a three-month bridge to help fund all agencies who are currently providing CORE services and not recommended forward to help them with their transition. I want to recognize, we submitted additional materials which were in the, in the package as 3a because there was a question to which the answer was very reasonable because this $500,000 we identified is not tied to the RFP parameters, um, we as staff, um, though we have put forward this recommendation, we do not feel we need to be tying it to any particular parameters that were listed in the RFP. And this is money that your board can look at and consider other options. So, we put forward an additional document that outlined how that $500,000 could be purpose should your board want to? So, we wanted to have a full, transparent, open discussion about that. I would say if your board, as you hear public comment and you begin deliberations, see these as because they are two separate budget actions, you might want to consider having separate motions and vote on the first recommended action, separate. And then this is a separate action. If that is, um, agreeable to your board and helpful to, to make the decisions in front of you. The third and fourth recommended actions are just sort of process that we need your approval to have both our department and the auditor controller to execute these actions quickly. And before we come back to your board, that way we don't have to come back to your board to get approval, to release money, to start new contracts, or if you approve the second action to get money, um, bridge money to the current providers, um, we can do that right away. And then the fourth one as, Chair Koenig, you said in the materials, we are recommending that we return in December for a comprehensive report on everything, including any direction we get today. This last asterisk I want to share is, um, I had shared in our department budget presentation last week that your board had passed in consent, a deferral of the actual CORE budget from last week to today so that the policy discussions in the budget could be, um, discussed in one day. Um, a technical issue, the actual CORE budget itself is in consent this afternoon. So, I just want to share that as a matter of full transparency. And the second is it is actually the budget for the county, and it includes the city budget because the city passed their budget on consent. And we have an MOU at your board and the city council approved on June 7th. So just a technical issue that the full budget of city and county are on consent this afternoon. This is a very brief update on the appeals. I had said, uh, with Kimberly on June 7th, that, that was step one of three. And that the, our recommendation as staff was to encourage people who were disappointed in the, um, recommended awards in front of you on June 7th, was to proceed with an appeal. Um, there is a letter from, uh, General Service Director Michael Beaton who outlines this. But the quick summary is 19 of the agencies that were not recommended for award did file an appeal. They were allowed to appeal on as many specific items as they wanted. And so those 19 agency appeals had 73 specific items in them. 30 of those items were deemed what's a technical issue called a protestor a statement they weren't within the parameters of what is appealable things like, "My agency provides critical services and there will be issues and concerns amongst the people I serve." That is a statement. It's not a question about whether that statement is just a righteous. It's just not an appealable item. 43 of the items were deemed appealable within the RFP parameters. 42 of them were denied. And the one that was partially substantiated is there was a recognition in general service department's review that one of the agencies was scored in the medium range on one particular budget item though, the panelist comments in the comment sections were positive about the budget. So general service turned that to us, we raised that score to the top score, but it did not result in an aggregate score that put them that particular agency, uh, and to change any of the awards that were, um, brought to you on June 7th. So, I'm going to close the presentation with sort of talking, about what is next, 'cause I really want to create more space for your board to deliberate and the public to make comment and we're here for any questions. Immediately pending your board's, um, decisions in front of you today. If you approve, um, both items, we will immediately execute the new contracts that will include 3 months of up, upfront payment to the new providers and their new contracts while we work on the contract scope of work. And we will also, pending your board's approval of the recommended actions, be able to immediately execute the three-month bridge payments. And when I mean immediate, that means in county time, we turn it around and we don't have to come back to your board, but we'll start working on it as soon as possible. The second is Fall of 2022. There is a tremendous amount of energy surrounding this program historically when it was community programs, every year's budget hearings. Um, when CORE moved from community programs to CORE, um, this has been a program that brings a lot of energy and a lot of attention. And we want to immediately harness and capture all the lessons learned, all the concerns, all the things that people support, and be able to come back to a public meeting in December and talk about some of the lessons learned. And, and take this as far as we need to so that when we, um, have in 3 years from now are confronted with another opportunity to do another RFP, we can harness all the lessons learned, apply what worked well and then make edits as needed, adjustments going forward though, this says Fall of 2022, that's when we'll start the public process, but we're going to begin work immediately on building up a system and a process to engage all elected officials and all community providers and other stakeholders. And then, finally, um, as is in the materials today, we are recommending you to direct us to return in 2022 for a very comprehensive report on a number of items that includes-- this is almost forgotten. The mix of everything being discussed. We have not come back and given you a full report on the five years of CORE contracts and the outcomes that just played out, we'll include that in the report. We'll give an update on the lessons learned. My, my prediction is that we will, uh, continue, we'll give an update and we'll have more time to go through other, um, lessons learned discussions, uh, in early '23. We'll provide an update on, uh, the status of contracts and if you support the bridge funding. And then, finally, to the additional direction we were given, um, on June 7th, we will also be able to give a full report on our efforts to establish contracts that, um, are agreeable to your board under that direction to make sure we have accountability measures and outcomes. I do want to share as just one final comment. We did sense that June 7th directive confirm that the contract templates that we have due, uh, address accountability. I do also want to comment that when your board approved our budget last week and there were some public comments earlier today that included some extra staffing in our contracts unit. Which will give us more resources to track accountability and outcomes in the CORE programs and all of our contracts. So that sort of ties together well. Um, and we will be able to, um, report on sort of where we are with execution. So, I'm going to close out by again, repeating this is, of course, your decision to make, but as I've been tracking the conversation, I just want to highlight that the core budget and the recommended action. One, to approve the five recommended additional awards is one budget item. And you might want to consider taking that as one motion and the $500,000 is a different item, a different one-time source. And if that is easier for you to sort of process the two, um, that could be a separate item if that's agreeable to you. So, Kimberly and I are here for any questions and, Chair Koenig, I turn it back to you. - Thank you, Director Morris, and Deputy Director Peterson. Are there any questions or comments from members of the board? - Yes. I have a brief one, if that's, that's fair, Mr. Chair, um. - Please. - Thank you, Director Morrison, Ms. Peterson is always-- um, on the $500,000, I just want to express that I appreciate the idea of the bridge funding. I, I'm not actually supportive of the 3-month. I think that some of the other policy options that were presented will be better, and I would appreciate after getting public input, and hearing my board members-- uh, my colleagues' thoughts such as, uh, the ability to fund for a year, some of these programs at 50%, for example. I think because it just would be a more targeted and more useful amount of money for programs. And, and the other thing is that I, I think that the board should take the opportunity, uh, recognizing that this process was, was followed, but also recognizing that we are seeing, uh, some of the challenges that the process created to actually provide some direction and some guidance on, on some of the things to be reviewed in that process. I know it's going to be a comprehensive look, but it's also useful to have the board make some specific suggestions. I believe coming back as to what could be looked at. Um, I do have some thoughts that I can, I can share on that. I think that, that the board, uh, probably ultimately would just like some greater flexibility ultimately in the, in the funding decision at the end, but I have some, I did notice some, some concerns, um, in regards to the process that I think that I'd like to include Director Morris coming back that, that also get reviewed. Um, but that, that's it, Mr. Chair, just some brief comments as introductory, but I look forward to hearing the, the public, comments then when it comes back for a greater discussion for a motion. - Thank you, Supervisor Friend. Any other comments or questions at this time? - I just have one quick question which is from the $500,000 in funding, why do we focus on their requested amount versus what they were actually funded at over the past 5 years? -So, uh, I'll start. And Kimberly has all the materials with her to, to clarify. Um, for the staff recommended action in front of you of 3-month bridge funding, I'm confirming that is at their current. Yeah. So, Supervisor Coonerty, for those staff recommendation of three months of bridge funding, it is at their current contract amount, not what they requested. We acknowledged that when we added the additional materials, we looked at, um, what people applied for and the possibility of bringing forward some ideas. Which was real, really following the issue of trying to spread money more around and one time giving some of these agencies an opportunity with what they requested, but there is a, a difference between those two. But Kimberly, do you want to add anything to clarify? Or Supervisor Coonerty, if that answered your, or did not answer your question, please follow up with another. - It answers my question, but I guess I was confused 'cause the language says, uh, it's bolded, uh, of requested fund that, um. - So, for, for the additional item, the material 3-- 3a. -3a. It falls in option one. It, the bolded line says requested. And so, I'm just trying to make sure we're all clear on what, what we're talking about. - Right. So that, um, that particular policy option that's, uh, different from the recommended option. So, in the recommendation, it, it's the 3-month, um, bridge funding is based on current levels and, and the, the organizations that we had identified. Um, and if you chose to take that, um, you know, that dollar amount, those organizations, and spread that out over more than a quarter at a, at a lower amount, um, we could do that. But to provide a different type of option, a different way of looking at it, um, these are examples of how much of what they were requested, what percentage of what they requested could be provided in different increments. So, it's just a different, a different type of option. - Different cut. Okay. Thank you. - Thanks, Supervisor Coonerty. Supervisor Caput? - So, uh, Randy and, uh, Kimberly, thanks a lot. It's a lot of work to go through all this. And, uh, I, I guess, uh, if my count is, you know, right, uh, we, we were over, we only have so much money and, uh, there's a lot of, they're all great causes and people are asking for more or less, or whatever.` I believe if you count all the umbrella agencies that are under one bigger one, there was, uh, count, uh, close to over 70, uh, applications. Uh, is that correct? - One, uh, Kimberly will probably give you the exact numbers. I, I, I think one of the numbers we've been being very clear on, and staff reports have been, there was about 3 times the amount of money requested from the core contracts than the actual money appropriated. So, it was triple the need, um, in the community. And we only had one-third that amount, but Kimberly, if you have the exact number in front of you. -127 proposals were received. -Right. Okay. Yeah. And, uh, it's, uh, it's tough because all of them are doing great work out there and, uh, whenever you're allocating money, uh, um, you can only do so much. So, uh, what I'm getting at is you were put in a very difficult position and, uh, you handled it very well and, uh, re, uh, respect the work that you've put into this. Uh, it's not perfect, but nothing is perfect. So, uh, um, and the one thing that I've noticed, uh, we haven't, uh, uh, talked down on some that were not, uh, funding as much or not at all. And, uh, it's kind of like, we're not saying one program is better than another. What we're saying is, um, we're seeing a community, uh, community need in certain areas. And I think overall, when we look at it, we're going to see that, uh, that we are, uh, providing that community, um, need that is out there. And the other, I, I like the, uh, the idea of the transition, three months transition money, uh, that, uh, $500,000 came from where? -Yeah. So, I tried to explain that it's a technical and complicated issue. So, our budget, the human services budget that your board approved last year included a certain amount of county general fund, which we need to draw state and federal money to, to run our programs. -Right. -The state revenues that come in, we track every month in the last 2 months, and we don't actually know the finals for this month were much higher than expected. And so every year, usually it goes the other way, they're lower than expected, but they were, were on, on point, they were higher than expected. So that offset some of the general fund in the budget that goes back to the CAO. So in communication with our CAO's office and ultimately Carlos, as our CAO, we agreed that given this one time moment, it would be a good opportunity to help address some of the community, uh, concerns about this transition and agencies losing funding. -Yeah. And the other thing that I do like is that, uh, in December, it's kind of, is not going to be kind of like a report card, uh, for all the groups and, uh, the money. -Uh, depending on what you mean by report card, we have a lot of process updates to share where we are. -Yeah. Whether the money's being spent wisely and, uh, well, not, not every, you know, dollar. But, uh, are the programs that they're promising still functioning or the new ones up and running? -So let me answer that in two ways. In December, it will be a report on the 5 years of the CORE contracts that are just coming to an end now. So, in that respect, if I understand your statement report card, it would be an update on sort of what money was used, how the services were delivered, and a comprehensive report on the last 5 years of service. Looking forward, depending on whatever your board approves today, we would be giving an update on establishing the new contracts, the process in place, the accountability measures in them, but it would be too early to actually have a, you know, "report card" just a few months into the contract cycle. That would probably be after that, where we would talk about the future contracts and what services are being provided. - All right. Thank you. -Thanks, Supervisor Caput. If there's no other comments or questions-- -Uh, uh, hold on -Oh, sorry, Supervisor McPherson. -Yeah, I, um, I was going to wait to hear public comment, but I just want to thank again, the human services departments and all the participants in the rating panels, uh, very difficult situation that you had. Uh, thank you to all the organizations who supplied for CORE funding, uh, 127 proposals. That's just a fraction of the nonprofit or community organizations we have in the county. It's in the hundreds, probably certainly more than 500, and closer to a thousand. So, um, it's, it's a tough thing that we have at the department has the, uh, rating panel had, uh, to address. Uh, simply put, there's not enough, uh, money to support everything we want or that it was requested. I think there was about $16 million worth of requests and we have just sort of $6 million to, uh, allocate. So, I, I think that, um, that our staff intends to work previously funded program or organizations to see if there are non-CORE dollars available. And I'm glad that we went to that extent. Um, and there's been a lot of work that has gone into laying the groundwork for this shift of funding that we have seen. And, uh, my sense is that we're going to continue to see and, uh, and, um, what could be done and learn from it and be responsive to the feedback. Um, my, the biggest concern I've heard about in my office is the fact that no services were directly allocated to the San Lorenzo Valley in the 5th District. Um, but it's also my understanding that the number of organizations recommended for funding have identified their applications, that they would serve the valley as a percentage of their client base, for instance, the United Way, um, its application for cradle, uh, to career. One third of that allocation is going to the San Lorenzo Valley. So, it's, um, you, you've got to look into it deeply to find out where the money is being allocated, where it's going and how it's served. Um I, I like our staff to give more specifics about how we can assure through our contracting pro-process that organizations will be successful. And I think you're going to do that in December. Uh, but overall, I, I appreciate, um, um, Mr., uh, or Supervisor Friend's, uh, recommendation, but, uh, it's getting late in the game and, uh, that's not to the fault of his. We didn't know what was going to come up with this extra hundred, uh, or $500,000, but I, I can support both of the options as they're presented today, um, at either separately. And I think it should be separate, um, or to, uh, realign on the original funding to include the capacity for bringing additional or on additional, uh, organizations that were mentioned, uh, and adding the new funding to support the 3-month bridge. Um, you're right. It's not going to go on forever, but we really have to be careful, um, with, uh, recession looming, if it's not upon us already, um, what we are going to be able to do next year with the funds that we have, and it's going to be coming in from the state. So, I, um, I would, I think it's, um, really late to try to refocus how we're going to allocate that $500,000 that was mentioned. And I think the proposal by the human services department is, um, on target and I would be willing to support either. I think we should support them in separate motions. That's my thoughts. -Thanks, Supervisor McPherson. I want to open it for public comment now. I know you've all been waiting patiently. So, if you have a comment to make, please approach the podium. -Good morning, Chair, supervisors, and staff, I'm Helen Yoon Story. I'm the acting Executive Director of the Community Action Board. As you know, CAB is the county's designated ommunity action agency charged with eliminating poverty and creating social change through advocacy and essential services. We serve over 10,000 low-income people annually, including through our youth and adult employment services and our Davenport resource service center on the county's isolated north coast. I'm also here today with my colleagues from CAB's immigration project and homelessness prevention and intervention services. We'll speak in a little bit. We're here today to thank you and let you know that we support the adjusted recommendations for CAB's core proposals, which will support thousands of low-income people, including at risk, at promise youth, young adults, day workers, and farm workers to access needed services and supports to more fully thrive in our community. We also appreciate that this is a challenging year for the county as we continue to recover from the pandemic, from the fire, um, as well as the current economic, uh, situation we're in. And we know that we're facing our recession as well. However, I just want to say, we know that this is also when safety net services are needed the most when the community is hurting. So, I really do want to respectfully, uh, encourage you to continue to look for additional funding to support safety net services for children, seniors, you know, mental and physical health, many of our colleagues in the community that, that provide very valuable services. Um, in order to keep our community strong as we weather these difficult times. CAB thanks you and we continue, uh, to look forward to our continued partnership to equitably serve our community. Thank you. -Thank you, Ms. Story. -Good morning, Chair, supervisors. My name is Pastavia. I'm the, um, the, um, Housing Prevention and Intervention Service Director for Community Action Board. We serve hundreds of income-- low income and diverse homeless, um, households per year, providing vital services just as such as rental assistance to avoid eviction, homeless intervention and stability support for vulnerable youth and young adults. We appreciate it and we support the CORE recommendation for CAB's housing prevention and intervention service. We understand this is a difficult year in our community and are thankful for the recommendations so that we may continue providing rental assistance to avoid eviction, to, um, and prevent homelessness for our low-income families, seniors, and disabled households throughout the county. Including south county with our partners, California Rural Legal Assistance, Families In Transitions, PVUSD, Healthy Start, and PV Shelter. Again, thank you so much for your support, your partnership, your commitment to equity in our community. -Thank you. -Good morning, Chair, and supervisors. My name is Kate Hollencamp. I'm Operations Manager for the Community Action Board Immigration Project. And we serve at the immigration project over 6,000 immigrants and family members from diverse, low-income households. We provide community education and immigration legal services county for people from all over the county. And we're grateful to the HSD for the CORE recommendation to fund CAB's immigration project. We know this is a difficult year as we've just heard that there's some, some difficult decisions in front of you. And we support the recommendation of funds to our immigration project at CAB. This would allow us to launch the very first, uh, nonprofit immigration services office in the City of Santa Cruz. And it will also allow us to expand DACA and citizenship services countywide to take advantage of $600,000 that we've been awarded by the state to, uh, for scholarships for DACA and citizenship. So, this would really help your funds to go further to help folks immigrant families in the community. Um, at the same time, we strongly encourage you to look for additional funding to support other needed services for a strong, effective safety net. Our programs are interconnected. We've been working for decades with partners like community bridges that helps us extend our reach. So, immigration right now, we subcontract with community bridges for referrals to our program. And the, if program agencies like community bridges and others are not funded. All of our work is, is truncated. We can accomplish less. So, we, we encourage you to, to continue to look for options. And we just want to thank you once more for your support, your partnership and your commitment to equity and our community. Thank you. - Thank you, Ms. Hollencamp. -Good morning, Board of Supervisors. This is a pleasure joining you all today. My name is Maria Cadenas. I'm the Executive Director of Ventures. We are very honored to be recommended for funding for Semillitas, which is the college savings account program throughout the county that supports kids by creating a college savings account and additional contributions until they turn five. I'm also excited to say that as part of that program, we are aligning with the state program that's to launch this summer. So, hopefully our kids could, a thousand dollars by the time they enter kinder for the future education. This is a huge growth, and it's, it will leverage the county's investment. In addition, as a new recommended program is including our gained income pilot which we call Alas which we launch with the hope of trying to prove ways to enhance and support a safety net programs so that people can move out of poverty and have economic mobility. The program itself, I just got an email right now that the, the IRB process has been approved by UC Santa Cruz. So, we'll be partnering with UC Santa Cruz. We'll pay for the evaluation of the program. And hopefully, we'll give this county tools to look at in how we best leverage and work together to get people out of poverty in an equitable sustainable way. Again, I'm thankful for the support. Thankful for the efforts that's been made to continue to support safety nets. I'm here to answer any questions that you may have. -Thank you, Ms. Cadenas. -Good morning, supervisors Before I start is it possible and appropriate to provide just some letters from some community members in a district map. -Sure. You're welcome. -On the record please. -Thank you, sir. -You can hand those to the clerk. -Good morning, Chairman Koenig, uh, Supervisors, Director Morris, Nicole. I'm sorry. Um, yes. The Nicoles are on my mind today. I wonder why. Uh, thank you so much. My name is Stephen Mazie. I'm the, uh, Santa Cruz County Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program Coordinator operating under ADVOCACY, INC. Uh, which had not been recommended for funding, uh, which was very disheartening considering the uniqueness of our program and the only provider of ombudsman services to the1800 beds and skilled nursing in residence care facilities in the community. However, I'm here to say thank you. Thank you to Director Morris. Um, and to county staff for finding some money, uh, to, uh, recommend some Bridge Transition money to our program, uh, that was certainly be helpful. Um, I do want to remind everybody that we are still in a current pandemic and if we learned anything over the last two and a half years is that our older adults living in long-term care have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic and continue to suffer through lockdowns, up and down lockdowns, low staffing at facilities. It's a historic staffing levels have been reduced because of pandemic. And as so, staff members and facilities are leaving, our ombudsman including myself are going in dawning N-95s face shields when necessary. Gloves in full PPE to protect ourselves and to protect our community members and those residents living in long-term care. So, again, I, this is just a reminder to everyone here today. That those folks often get overlooked because the doors are closed in those facilities. Please do not forget about them. I will be honored to come back on a regular basis to speak to you more about our program and offer an invitation to each of you to join me on a drive-by into a facility, in your district to meet the residents that are your constituents. Thank you so much for the funding recommendation for the Bridge Transition. We do certainly appreciate that. -Well, I want to personally thank you also. Uh, unfortunately, uh, you got left out and, uh, uh, that really hurt and, uh, uh, I, I guess what I'm saying is you're one of my favorite, uh, um, uh, programs that are out there helping the community. And, uh, going through the whole COVID thing must have been very difficult because not only were the, uh, people of the rest homes, uh, you know, they, they were, they couldn't even have visitors, uh, and, uh, it, it must have been very, very difficult. And I want to thank you for, uh, in the past, uh, helping out south county [clears throat] the one out there with Wayne Norton and he's doing good with retirement, I guess. And, uh, uh, we, we had some big battles down there with, uh, a couple of rest homes. So, without an ombudsman, we wouldn't be able to, uh, fix this. -Supervisor Caput, thank you so much for your support of our program and for all of the board members that are here today and we're still fighting the good fight. We'll still do that regardless of where the funding is coming from. Thank you. -I'll, I'll give you a call sometime. Maybe we'll get coffee. Okay? -I'd love that. Thank you. -All right. -Good morning. My name is Cheryl Fraenzl. I am the Executive Director at The Diversity Center. And we're here just, um, with a great privilege and honor, and saying thank you for looking for ways to, um, fund more organizations. We are being considered for funding in the new recommendations and we wanted to personally show up and say thank you so much. I can't imagine the job that you've had to do, and it's been, it's been something to watch. And so, we really, um, heartfully thank you because what we're gonna be able to do is work with the crisis in the LGBTQ Community around mental health. And we're also gonna be able to be a strong and important partner. Um, with all of the organizations who meet on a monthly basis to try to address the mental health crisis within the youth. And so now, we get to, um, utilize these funds to support not only ourselves but other organizations struggling with the same issue. And so, we're here with some of our community just to say thank you. Thank you very much and please approve the new recommendations. -Thank you, Miss Fraenzl. -Good morning. My name is Larry Freedman. I've been a resident of the county for 50 years, and, uh, I've lived in the unincorporated areas as well as in the city and I've been a taxpayer for over 40 years. I'm a member of The Diversity Center Community. I'm a longtime volunteer. I was one of the people that started the first Gay Pride in Santa Cruz, 1975. I've been here fighting the good fight. And I wanna thank you all for, uh, considering The Diversity Center for some funding in this next round here. There's so much need. I've been a volunteer at the front desk at the Diversity Center for years and between old, uh, seniors who are coming in or who are isolated and don't have support, and youth, and trans kids who are needing mental health support. It's really a godsend to have you supporting us. And I was a social worker at Watsonville Hospital for 13 years. Social worker at Dominican Hospital for about 20 years and the need for mental health services has never been greater throughout. So, I know it's been a hard job. Thank you very much. -Thank you, Mr. Freedman. -Hello. My name is Barb Jordan I'm a resident of District One and I'm also a donor to The Diversity Center and I brought Ruth here today. It's still heartening. Um, I wanna commend to any staff for really working creatively to try to adjust the recommendations in response to community input and also to find additional money. I think that's really incredible work. Um, there's so many worthy entities here and I appreciate hearing appreciation from you about the work that all of these non-profits are doing. But, uh, I finally wanna urge the board of supervisors to act today to improve the funding for the program- program, including The Diversity Center and also the additional $500,000. Thank you. -Thank you, Miss Jordan. -Hello. My name is Andrea Damon. I, uh, ran parent groups of Trans Families of Santa Cruz County and we have not applied for funding for you but I'm here today to speak to the importance of The Diversity Center Programs for our youth, and I'm so heartened to see that you've, um, decided to include them in your grant program this year. As you know, the pandemic has taken an incredible toll in the mental health of all youth. But trans and LGBTQ youth in particular. And as a group facilitator, talking to parents every day, I've been a first-person witness to the mental health struggles of these young people and also can attest to the really life-saving programs that they have been offered at The Diversity Center. Having the youth groups has been a lifeline for LGBTQ youth in our community and I'm so glad that their work is being recognized and I want just to stand here and help you understand how valuable, um, and critical it is. So, thank you so much for including them in your revised, um, proposals. Thank you. -Thank you, Miss Damon. -I just wanted to, uh, express gratitude for the, um, Milton Resource Centre and what it's done for me. I was illegally evicted during COVID. In other words, I paid taxes for law enforcement to come out and break their own laws. And, uh, so, not everybody who goes homeless is, uh, with the stereotype deserving at or have brought it on themselves. We mentioned veterans earlier, people mention people with mental health problems and that sort of thing. And, uh, so, I feel like the- it's necessary and helpful. And, uh, I just wanted to say that I was thankful for what they've done for me, and I hope that they're able to continue. - Thanks. - My name is Cory. I'm a advocate at Mountain Community Resources and I'm- I've worked with Jim and, uh, he actually was, again, still is working at Safeway and, um, using our hot, uh, showers and laundry. And, um, and has transferred back and forth from different locations. Still able to use our services, still needing assistance to try to find, um, housing in the Watsonville area now. Um, still using more than one of our centers. Um, I have a question for Bruce. Um, for the Cradle to Career program, uh, does that include, um, any help for the homeless? Um, and, and that's a huge question because we built these showers, you know, from housing matters, moneys, um, years ago right during the CGU fires. So, we have the showers and laundry that are gonna go empty. Um, I would support a 50 percent, one year, um, rather than the Bridge Funding so that we could at least try to find a way to continue that service and not have wasted services. Thanks. - Thank you, Cory. - [foreign] There's no translator today? Tell me. [foreign] My name is Sandra Rodelo. I just wanted to share, uh, some of the art that my, uh, that my clients had, uh, bring. Uh, through these years and it is heartwarming. My clients have grown, uh, with my parenting classes through-- through the years I have been there. And they came with a lot of issues, like, any other agency, uh, I do thank you for, um, finding additional funding but I do hope that you keep, continue looking because of, you see, uh, I just not serve, um, not one, a child or a member of the community. I serve the whole family and they do appreciate and with words, with actions, uh, they leave those for me to remember them. And when I see them in the community, they say, "Thank you for transforming my life." Again, thank you. -Thank you. -Um, hello. My name is Myra. I'm here in representation of Community Bridges Family Resource Centers. I work as an advocate and I just wanna support additional funding to be reallocated to the centers. Since we do have more centers across the co-county that are serving a wide range of individuals of different ages, backgrounds, and different services. And I think it's highly important that we kind of looked that these are evidence-based founding-funding recommendations so we have to look at the prospective statistics that will come up when these serv- when these centers are closed and reduced hours are being, um, are being created. They are currently long lines, uh, or want to build a center which serves a lot of vulnerable- a lot of vulnerable families specifically those that work in the fields and it is highly important that we kinda of provide a lot of funding for these families since we-we have the coun- the Human Services Agency right across the street yet we still see a wide range of individuals come and look for assistance for their disability, for the, um, unemployment. And for the Cal Fresh, and it's really critical to look at the statistics of, like, or wide range of impact and or outcomes because then that kind of shows you that there is a reason why a lot of individuals are seeking our services. And we do not discriminate, and we do not-and we provide a whole range, um, something as simple as, you know, providing a charging station, making a phone call. And we really have to, you know, look outside of our neighborhoods and outside of our perspectives and see that, just because it' not a need that we need or that we see around our community, it does not mean that other people in the outskirts of our towns are not needing these services. So, any additional funds would be great because it provides a little bit of a safety net while these people help, um, try to find something else in the meanwhile. Thank you. -Thank you, Myra. All right. Seeing no one else here in chambers just to address us on these items, is there anyone on Zoom? -Yes, Chair. We do have speakers on Zoom. Calling User 1, your microphone is now available. -[inaudible] and Santa Cruz County is not alone in this, uh, misery and war on the poor. A book that puts us in the framework it is titled "The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma," and the global war on democracy and public health. This is part of a global war on democracy and public health. And listening to people who are doing vital work for the community who are being made more poorer by these cuts shows the county's misdirection in priorities while millions of dollars literally go to wireless microwave, 4G, 5G technology. People are going hungry and being harmed at the same time. This title here collective of results and evidence-based CORE investments. What are the results? And looking more deeply into where the money is misappropriated in this county like for Verizon or Cruzio, o-or all that? It's all backwards and as a retired teacher of 30 years, I think of that bumper sticker - It will be a great day when the schools have all the money they need, and we could add social services and the Air Force have to have a big sale to buy a bomber. This is all backwards. We're fighting over crumbs left after approximately half our tax dollars- -Thank you, Ms. Garrett. -LS, your microphone is now available. -Thanks. Leah Samuels Executive Director of the Human Care Alliance. Thank you for the amended recommendations. Having a response to these public comments in the form of action really helps move forward to collaborate and meet our shared goal of an equitable Santa Cruz. Some non-profits now have time to get their bearings as we go to the next phase of this work. Despite the release of additional information and I thank you, Randy, for that, um, there's still a feeling we need more information to start what happened, there's some trust that needs to be rebuilt and even some funded organizations have reached out with concerns. HDA proposes that you officially authorize HDA to partner with Randy Morris and his work leading up to December. Mr. Morris has been generous with his time and I can't speak for him but my impression as our conversations had been mutually beneficial. This also include in direction to staff that consider non-profits that have not previously been funded. For instance, in considering ways non-profits can get specific contracts outside of CORE. Those previously, um, not funded, mostly smaller should have the same opportunity in details. HDA accepts all non-profits and educate or provide services in Santa Cruz. We make membership accessible regardless of the sides of agency. Current membership represents a meaningful number of large non-profits and a fairly balance cross-section and provider categories. I hope you allow me to use that access that I have not only to members but beyond to be an official part of the process. More can be done but we can't get into the details now. As a working mom, even as I speak, I got two young children at home. So, the hit to childcare, um, is particularly painful and a disruption to my career opportunities. Uh, both non-profits and government have work to do. Personally, I feel I failed my members in a way not being involved throughout this process more. It was largely due to us not having funding for more work, uh, and more help. It's hard for me to see this play out and not wonder if I could do more. I hope you'll seriously consider our offer. Thank you. - Thank you, Miss Samuels. - David, your microphone is now available. - Okay. [inaudible] um, Executive Director for Family Service Agency. Good morning to the members of the board. I appreciate the additional funding, uh, for those that are not scheduled, uh, to receive funding but ha-had been funded. I think I do believe based in my 35 years of doing this process that this particular version had some serious flaws but with everybody involved had the best intentions. I used to be, um, for many years, a county staff. We take the time to visit and audit our programs in the-- in order to know and understand them. Um, that doesn't create bias. It's just a foundation for any good relationship. Um, I am, uh, obviously disappointed that five of our programs that were contained in one application, uh, will go unfunded. Those programs are the result of four smaller agencies merging with us which is a long-held community goal to provide services in the most sufficient and cost-effective way possible. Um, I don't believe that we fail this test. I think the test failed us and the community. And I don't think our panel is able to process our proposal with multiple mental health programs and services that shared common objectives and outcomes. I also don't think that disenfranchising the over 400 clients including family, children, and seniors in counseling and women with cancer, survivors of child sexual abuse, uh, and care facility residents advances the stated cause of equity that this probably says, um, represented. So, I hope you will take, um, the time to look for additional resources. Uh, and support us in whatever way you can as we try to figure out the future, uh, on how to serve the needs of these clients that had been served for decades, um, with county and city support. Thank you for your time. -Thank you, David. -Serge, your microphone is now available. -Thank you. Uh, good morning again, Board of Supervisors. My name is Serge Kagno. I'm the Executive Director of the Recovery Cafe Santa Cruz. We were one of the new agencies to make our first application and appeal for CORE funding. We were not selected for funding, but we appreciate the integrity and sincerity of county staff in the creation and management of this process. For future iterations, we look forward to collaboration to use lessons learned to improve this process. For where to go from here, we would like to state our appreciation for Mr. Morris' fourth recommendation. Each of the non-profits works hard to diversify their revenue streams as Mr. Morris' ref-referring, there are other funds which county departments have access to. Departments make contracts with non-profits for needed services, departments cosign grant application with non-profits, departments see grants which they do not apply but would-could suggest that [clears throat] could suggest non-profits apply. We simply ask that the board of supervisors include in its direction to staff to include those non-profits not recommended for funding who have not previously been funded by CORE. Mr. Morris' recommendation is a momentous step towards officially collaborating between the county and local non-profits to find- to finding opportunities, to meet the goals of our county departments as well as supporting our local non-profits. All I ask is-is for a modification of recommendation number four to both include the Human Care Alliance in exploring other funding sources and to include all agencies who did not receive CORE 22, 23 funding regardless of whether or not they previously received CORE funding. We also ask that if the $500,000 is not used for three-month Bridge Funding as mentioned in Supervisor Friend's comments that the Recovery Cafe Santa Cruz is considered for some funding so that we can provide the needed service to support the healing of both house and unhoused partner- participants dealing with mental health, substance use, domestic violence, justice involvement, previously foster youth and the LGBTQ community. Thank you for your time. -Thank you. -Allison, your microphone is now available. -Thank you. Um, and good afternoon, supervisors and fellow community members. My name is Allison Guevara. I'm the director of Cradle to Career Santa Cruz County. I'm a social impact consultant and mom of three children. And I just wanna thank you again for your recommendation to invest in Cradle to Career's expansion. Um, we're really excited to be growing into several additional communities outside of Live Oak. Um, a, you know, I feel that we heard from several folks today just talking about the needs specifically for example, in are-underserved areas like in San Lorenzo Valley. Um, and leading up to our application, we did talk to Superintendent Chris Schiermeyer, um, about the needs that he sees showing up at their schools every day. Um, there are a hundred families that are still, um, living in trailers, um, or housing insecure as a result of the CZU fires. Um, and that has, uh, implications for how the children show up at school and impact learning for everybody within that school community. And Cradle to Career is going to be able to strengthen the relationships, uh, with those families. Identify their needs and link them- link them to vital services, um, in a much stronger way. Um, but of course, we don't do that in vacuum and I really appreciate the deep thinking, um, and the- the deep care that I'm hearing from everybody today to really look holistically at our community's needs and services. And Cradle to Career is really committed to helping, to be a part of addressing the root causes of adversity. Um, and working together to- to deliver a more sustainable robust solutions, um, so that every child and every family can thrive. So, again, I wanna really thank you for your investment. For your, uh, your hard thinking and planning around this Um, I'm really excited for- to see all that we are gonna accomplish together over the next three years. Thank you. -Thank you, Miss Guevara. -We have no additional speakers for this item, Chair. -All right. Thank you. Then I'll return it to the board for deliberation and action. -Uh, thank you, Mr. Chair. -Supervisor McPherson. -I, uh, I appreciate that, uh, comment from, uh, united ways, Cradle to Career, I think it's open to everyone. Uh, and I-I just wanted to, uh, assure everyone here that the- the Human Services Department and our Health Services Agency are searching for funds all the time. Uh, we're very open to it and we're a very aggressive board of supervisors to see and what is available to have, to direct them to see what's available and to go after it. Which we have done successfully in this situation. So, I-I just wanna assure everyone. We're not giving up this money that we're talking about is our general, uh, fund money for the county, uh, which we increase by a million dollars, what, three years ago or so. So, um, we would like to give more, um, and I hope that we can in the future but I just wanna assure everyone that we are searching, our departments, the two major departments, uh, Human Services and Health Services Agencies are continually seeking funding for these types of Human Service Programs. Um, with that, I-I would-as I said, uh, I appreciated, uh, Supervisor Friend's suggestion but I'm not sure how that would, you know, we- we'e got to put this, if we're gonna have this bridge, we've got to let them know if they're gonna have it or not there. We're gonna have to make a decision or would have to I think today on some other programs. But I, I, so, I, uh, I, as I said, I support the options that have been presented. I think they're very, uh well thought out and as fair as can be expected under the circumstances. And so, I would be, um, I think that we should, uh, have this in two separate motion. Uh, first to realign the original funding to include, uh, the capacity to bring on additional organizations. And maybe I should just make that one, uh, motion and, uh, then go to the second one for, uh, the funding of the three-month bridge for the others. So, I would make the motion to, uh, to, uh, uh, follow the recommendation of the Human Services Agency to realign, realign the funding for the- include the capacity for bringing on the additional organizations. -So, this is recommended action 1? -Correct. -Uh, Mr. Chair, there is a point of clarification. We have multiple recommendation number one. So, under the, the board agenda packet, there's four-a set of four recommended actions and one of them is listed as number one. And then sub to that is what Supervisor McPherson is referring to which are additional recommended actions number one. And so, I just think that we need that-- get a point of clarification of what the board is actually being asked to do right now because I think there's some-just kind of clerical recommendations of it instead of the original four that maybe, can be folded into this. The, the ultimate discussion here is on the 500,000 funding as well as additional direction on the, um the report back. That's where I think that there needs to be a greater debate not on the thing that, uh, Supervisor McPherson is referring to. But I don't think-- I actually don't think he's moving the correct recommendation, so I just wanna make sure we're, we're totally clear on where we are in this. -Well, to clarify, I mean, and maybe I should, uh, and Mr. Morris will-- will, to, uh, reduce the allocations for those who were funded, uh, from the three percent reduction to 10 percent to allow for the new agencies that are listed here in the large, Chair, me-- interior, to get the, uh, the funding that is requested under this, uh, recommendation one. That's my motion is- and I, I think I'm making it correctly and, uh, so it covers those that were in the original, uh, allocation reduced by 10 percent but adding these other, uh, five that have been recommended for funding. -So, I will share with you what I believe is under discussion and certainly welcome counsel to help if there's a technical issue. I'm not tracking here. Um, to Supervisor Friend's point, the published material is the actual memo itself. Recommended action number one is the modified awards that we brought forward, the five additional within the confines of the RFP and, and looking at the recommended actions, number three actually bundles with it. Because if you approve the recommended awards within the RFP process, the additional five, recommended action three also then authorizes the other controller and HSD to immediately execute that package of contracts. So, that could be one action. I would recommend keeping two and four separate because four, if you give the additional direction to us, what you want to make sure we look into, there's some public comment asking us to look into things. I think you could leave two and four separate based on where your deliberations go and make sure in number four, we do whatever you direct us to do, and the lessons learned and then report back in December. So, that's the way I'm tracking. One and three first. Two and four second. Counsel, I don't know if you have any other thoughts but that's the way I read this. Supervisor Friend, yes, there's additional materials, they have ones and twos on them but those will get covered under the final recommended action number two. -And I'm supportive of that, Supervisor McPherson. If it's item one and three in the recommended actions, then-- then I'll second that motion. -[coughs] -Great. Thank you. -Okay. Then we have a motion by Supervisor McPherson and a second by Supervisor Friend, uh, to adopt recommended actions one and three on each of the memo. Any further discussion? -Yes. -First, we're gonna have another one probably. -Right. -I'm sure. -Right. Right. It is in regards to the $500,000 Bridge Funding. -Yeah? One, four? -Uh, um... -Uh, we... -I'm happy to, I'm happy to read it for you, Supervisor Caput. Correct. So, the, uh... the first motion here is to prove recommended actions one and three from our agenda packet recommended action one is to approve Fiscal Year 22-23 collective of results and evidence-based investments request for proposals final recommended awards in attachment one which included just proposed adjustments to those outlined to the board on June 7, 2022, and delegate authority to the human services department to execute the agreements of all final recommended award prior to September 30, 2022. And then the other, -[inaudible] -Uh, no, no. I'm, uh, I am reading it from the agenda here. All right, any further discussion? Seeing none, Clerk, roll call vote, please. -Supervisor Friend? -Aye. -Coonerty? -Aye. -Caput? -Aye. -McPherson? -Aye. -And Koenig? -Aye. -Recommended actions 1 and 3 passed unanimously. -Alright, thank you then we'll continue discussion on items 2 and 4, Supervisor Friend. -Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair and thank you, Supervisor McPherson for that. So my, I just wanted to make sure that we're on the same page of what I was actually proposing. What I'm proposing is an option that's before us it's not, uh, I'm not, um, trying to do something that hasn't been transparently presented under the attachments, the-- one of the options is policy option two, which is to fund addition proposals by the RFK the RFP rankings that's to take $500,000 and break it up, uh, uh, over various ways. The way that I'd recommend is what's being proposed right in front of us. Which is over one year to take the $500,000 into funded, uh, at 50% funding for the next rank eight medium and one small. Which would be just to read it, uh, would be the Hospice of Santa Cruz County, New Life for the Gemma House, the Parents Center of the Senior Citizens Organizations of the San Lorenzo Valley, the Mentors Program, PVPSA, Elderday from Community Bridges, and then, uh, Faith Community Shelter Program with the Association of Faith Communities. And then the small tier would be the Senior Council, uh, Project Scout Program. So, that was my-- what I was recommending as opposed to just doing a three-month transition funding doing something more meaningful which is under our options that are being presented to provide an entire, uh, half, uh, funding for these programs that were in order of their rankings. Now there are other options that are presented under those policies but that's, that what I was recommending doing. I just wanted to make sure you had made a statement of that this in essence that wasn't a policy option that was before us. I want to be clear that there's something that's being presented as an option, I'm just choosing a different option than just a three-month bridge funding. We're running a more meaningful twelve-month of those programs. -Alright, is that a motion? -Uh, um, I'm okay with continuing to have a dialogue before a motion is confirmed, um, thank you, Mr. Chair, but I wanted to hear Supervisor McPherson's thoughts. I think it's really important the boar be united on, on this issue I mean, I'm not opposed to three month transition funding I just think this is a more meaningful investment. If the board majority feels that, uh, the three-month transition funding is more, uh, is a better way to do it, I'm not opposed to that I'm just making a policy decision that I think, um-- uh, that I think the 50% for that number is better. -Thank you, Supervisor Friend. -Thank you. -Supervisor McPherson? -Yeah. I like the idea. I'd like, I appreciate your, your recommendation, um, and I think I could get behind it. I'm just trying to get a sense of what it really means and how much to whom, I guess. Um, I mean, obviously, Supervisor Friend has those targeted he has certainly not talked to me about those that he has brought up today and that's proper maybe he has with one other board member. But, um, I just would like to get a sense of who is it again involved again. Uh, Supervisor Friend did mention it. Uh, I think there's some, um, legitimate reason for following that. I mean, it's just it, it reestablishes or continues to establish those I think they're six agencies that he mentioned. But, um, I, um, I know that the others for continuing for three months that some that who were not getting the funding they wanted. They said okay, we can at least go with the three-month extension so, um, that's one of those decisions we just gonna have to make. Um, can you just reiterate of what, what those agencies were and how much is involved? -It's for a... -I mean, we're... -Supervisor McPherson, this is Attachment 3b, I'm not-- I'm not picking and and choosing organization. -Oh, I see, okay. -This is outline by, uh, the human services department as the next highly ranked sets of agencies. So under the medium tier if you fund it for 50%... -No -...one year that would be the first eight agencies and for the small tier that would be the first agency. That's just that's how those agencies... -No. -came about so that is attachment 3b -Okay. Did you-- and Mr. Morris, could you just comment? Well, you've been in this discussion with everybody, uh, and so I just wanna get your sense of what-- where will we be going with this? -Yeah. Let me offer some full disclosure about the sequence of events. Um, when we're really late as were finishing publishing the materials, we, literally the last day or two came up with this $500,000 for the reasons I described. So, the first action was to respond to what we would be hearing from community providers about this transition is really rushed and some form of transition funding would help so that was what was published. I just want to make sure for those who don't track this level of technical detail. We then submitted additional materials, so that what came up as 3/8. The reason we did that is literally we got the materials done at the very end and added that $500,000 reference. We immediately realized that because that $500,000 is not part of the RFP parameters, it's going to raise questions about, well, what else? So, our staff recommendation remains - three-months of bridge funding. It was directly in response to community pride or feedback about their concern about not having a bridge. But this is $500,000 that could be used differently. So then we submitted attachment 3a which gave a few policy options, so they are very different policy options and as is the whole core discussion is not in enough. We wish we had enough to all, um. So, we just have different options in front of you, one is the bridge funding that's our recommendation. Then to your question, Supervisor McPherson, we broke down a few ways sort of slicing and dicing and taking that $500,000 to do some different things. What Supervisor Friend is then referring to is what's attachment 3b and I think due to the timing it didn't actually get published in the materials but is in the public record so all board members have is then the ranking list that you have in front of you of who was the next in rank? If that's the policy choice you choose you would be saying, let's not give everybody three-months of funding, let's instead go with those next ranked in the op document 3b. I'm gonna use that frame to turn it over to Kimberly and she can repeat. If, Supervisor Friend, you can clarify the exact option in front of you then Kimberly can read the name of those organizations from the 3b document for the public to hear. -Yes. If you, please and when you go next rank order just down the line 'cause I, I've got 3b. -So, for. -Go ahead for, uh, Ms. Peterson, go ahead, I apologize. -Oh, no, it's okay. So for the option that would be 50% funding for one year that would, um, cover access, um, for, um, Hospice of Santa Cruz County access, um, to end of life care for all New Life Community Services, Gemma House, the parent center, their parent center program, Senior citizens organizations of San Lorenzo, um, their senior citizens program. Um, mentors driving for change, two generations service to strengthen relationships, power valley preventions treatment assistance, Community Bridges Elderday, um, and, uh, Association of Faith Communities, um, of Santa Cruz and Project Scout, which is with the senior's council. -So, I just want to say I appreciate that you took the first action because that sort of closes that budget. This is a different one-time budget, one time only the money we have, and the two choices in front of you are very different. Taking that 500,000 for a three-month bridge or taking that 500,000 for one year of partial funding to the providers that Kimberly listed. Two very different policy choices. -Right. So, yeah. I can be acceptable to that. Um, the, um, but were true knowledge that it may not be there next year. -Uh, well, I, I think it, I-- I have to say as a human service department director with every economist prediction of a recession coming, and in our budget so depending on federal and state funding, um, I think the community deserves transparency that this is for sure one-time funding because the state economy is strong. And if the state economy turns the way it's supposed to, that particular funding stream is very likely not gonna be here. We would have to what you said earlier Supervisor McPherson, to look for other grants, other opportunities. I don't think general fund is likely to be there I just don't wanna mislead the community think that this would go beyond one year. -Supervisor Coonerty, did you want to weigh in? -Sure, uh, so let me just say man, I think I agree with, I agree with Supervisor Friend. That it's important that, that we move forward collectively, uh, on this and it's, you know, as everyone said there's- there's too much need and too many organizations doing good work and too little fund. And we're gonna continue to work to find that funding. As Director Morris mentioned, there's really sort of two different policy objectives here, right? There's the policy objective of the recommended action which basically gives people a little bit of a softer landing, uh, during this transition for those who got no funding. And then there's what, uh, Supervisor, uh, Friend is recommending which is, uh, the other policy option which basically says look we just let's give half a year funding to this organizations that rank the highest. Some of them are new some of them are ones who lost funding, um, and let's have a bigger impact rather than sort of spreading the peanut butter, uh, extra thin. I, um, I'd humbly propose as what I think is a middle ground here but I wanna see what folks thinks which is, um, that we fund those who got those who were funded for the last five years but who did not get funding but we fund agencies, um, who received grants over $25,000, uh, last year. Because I think sending folks, um, a check for $1,200 or $1,500, um, in the large scheme of things, what doesn't, won't make a substantive difference, um, sympathetic to what Supervisor Friend is driving at here which is I'd rather make a more substantive investment and help people move forward. So, the idea being that let's provide a cushion, uh, for folks who had funding in the past and who are not getting it but that let's have that floor so that we have more dollars to spend among organizations that are basically seeing a bigger cut in their budget. Um, I'm not gonna make a motion because I do, I wanna hear my colleagues and I'm open to whatever direction folks wanna head but, uh, but that was my just-- just sort of hopefully meld a little bit of the two goals, policy goals that people are talking about in this case. -So, to be clear, Supervisor Coonerty, you're suggesting, uh, funding organizations that previously received funding or, sorry, over $25,000 what was the? -It's a recommended action from a human service department but setting a floor of, uh, we only, uh, provide bridge funding to organizations that receive more than $25,000 last year. -And with the idea being that would allow us to provide more fund more bridge funding to those that are above that level? -Yeah, and who are taking bigger hits, you know, taking a $60,000 hit is a lot bigger than taking a $12,000 hit. -Mm-hmm. Um, Director Morris do you want to comment at all on how that--? -I have a, well, I have a point of clarification for Supervisor Coonerty, um, this is very complicated. So, bear with me as I make sure I'm very, very clear so that we can execute if this ends up being part of the direction. There's actually two adjustments to what I'm hearing. Supervisor Coonerty, I want to confirm I hear this. So, one is to sort of create a only above X amount of dollars because it's too small amount and that gives a little more to spread around. But I wanna confirm the second, in the item, um, 3a which is not the bridge funding, it includes everybody who applied for funding not just those who are current recipients of funding. So I just wanna confirm if you're also recommending to remove any applicant for funding whose not currently a CORE recipient? Because if so, that would end up actually pulling more money to spread. And my final comment is wherever you go today, I hope we can take some time at the end to get very clear policy direction. We will not have the numbers today. We will not have the exact name today but we can absolutely execute the policy direction. I just want to be realistic what there's some things are in front of you we know what it is if you choose to go this route we can execute the direction but we won't be able to tell you what exactly that lands because we have to go do that math. Supervisor Coonerty, is what-- did I hear you correctly? -Just to be clear. Yeah, my idea for this $500,000 is that we've had agencies who have been funded for five years and in many cases longer. They weren't recommended for funding, uh, under this new CORE process. I think as a matter of public policy we wanna give people cushion and time to adjust and change their or partner or do whatever find other sources of funding too, whatever they need to do to [clears throat] to adjust this in reality. And so, it would be funding programs that were funded, uh, last year over $25,000 that applied for funding and, uh, that we would provide a bridge cushion based on their funding from last year of whatever-- for and however long we possibly could base on the amount of money that's left and the number of agencies. -Okay, that's clear. Thank you. -Yeah. I, so, I don't know that shifts the calculus all that much. I can't imagine there's a whole lot of programs under $25,000. And, you know, given the size of the other ones, I mean, well, maybe we're talking about another past months for-- -I think if I'm following, um, Supervisor Friends' proposal of going with the option listed in attachment 3a and then 3b list the agencies at 50% for one year. If you add Supervisor Coonerty's comment, I think you would pull a little extra money on two fronts. One, you would not be funding agencies below-- I forget the number 20 or 25,000, Supervisor Coonerty. But number two, if I'm hearing Supervisor Coonerty, you're then pulling funding to agencies that are new applicants. If I have that both then we could do that math and it would mean instead of 50% funding it would go up a certain amount of percentage point. So, all the current providers that were next ranked would get one year of something more than 50%. That's what I'm tracking. And I think Kimberly wants to clarify or add or give some details? -I think they're talking about, uh, I think as I am understanding is this conversation about actually our recommendation but modifying our recommendation? -That's correct, Ms. Peterson. These are two very distinct things, Director Morris. Supervisor Coonerty is proposing accepting a staff recommendation but just modifying it to not include organizations that received less than 25,000 in funding. So, it's three-month bridged funding or potentially longer for the remaining organizations. And then my proposal is, um, policy option 2, uh. I'm not opposed to, um, Supervisor Coonerty's proposal I mean, I think that I hear what he's trying to get at. My main-- my main argument here is that is whether the three-months was substantive whether it really provided meaningful input versus the more legitimate investment, which is why most of that money is going toward medium tier eight of the 9 organizations that are being funded which would be over 50,000. Um, so. But again, I think it's important that the board, um, be really unified in this one And so, if that's, that's the direction of the board wants to go, I'd be supportive of that as well. Um, Mr. Chair, I know you haven't weighed in on it yet, but I could go either way on this just as I heard Supervisor McPherson could, um. I don't think that there's a perfect answer to any of this. Um, I just think that what I'm trying to come up with is is the best answer in an unideal situation for these organizations. -And with that clarification, and Supervisor Coonerty, I can answer your question more clearly. Thank you, Kimberly. I was conflating the two. Then we would do an analysis and it might go up to three and a half months or maybe four, depending on how that math lands. But if I heard that correct, we wouldn't be able to do the math now, unless our staff text Kimberly with an answer because there's people listening. But we would do the math and apply the direction and then we could give a report back on where it landed later. -Do, do you have an idea I mean, uh, we're gonna be off in July. Would you be able to do it by the first week in August to tell us what we're doing? -Um, I think depending on your direction, um, what would be realistic would be, um, a consent item somewhere just kind of listing what happened if that would be agreeable to make sure this circles back. Because I understand December is is a far way out versus-- because we spend a lot of time and energy getting reports together. But if that would be agreeable, I think just giving like a written materials back to you at some time with kind of where with depending what direction you give us kind of where we're going and then we could give a more detailed regular report at the December, would be-- would be practical for us. -Thank you. -And to be clear, Supervisor McPherson, neither these actions delays funding to these organizations. I mean, it's either bridge funding we're providing the authority to the human services department to do this now. I mean, they would be either be providing a bridge funding for those over 25,000 or we would be funding these eight medium and one small now for 50% for a year. So, the only thing that they'd be coming back with is just a list of the organizations. -Thank you, and you know, I'll weigh on this is well. I mean, I don't have a strong preference one way or another. I think that there are marriage to both of these proposals. I mean, on the one hand, um, we're able to make more substantive difference for the nine programs - eight medium, one small, that are next in line to receive funding that honors the process and is-- makes a larger impact for the organizations that are funded. Uh, and on the other, I mean, it's June 28th and, um you know, we could be talking about these organizations losing their funding within the next few days. Um, that's pretty extreme and I think as much as possible we should be letting people down easy and, um, you know recognizing it many-- five years that they've had funding all that good work that they've contributed, um, and trying to make the transition as smooth as possible. And I believed that recommendation actually came in part from the non-profit community, um, as a as a way to facilitate the transition. So, I mean, I guess I'm do leaning a little bit towards, um, the latter, given that it just helps, it just helps with this transition process. And ultimately, I think, um, yeah. Well, it would be a soft landing for what has been a difficult you know, difficult decision-making process for, uh, this entire funding package. -Mr. Chair, then I'd, I'd be prepared then to make a motion which would be to, uh, move Supervisor Coonerty's recommendation which is bridge funding for organizations that received greater than 25,000 in funding for the 500,000 and delegating all necessary responsibility to the human services department to effectuate that, um, that bridge funding. And then, on option four, um, which was recommended option for in regards to the report back and just bringing up the the item language real quick so I can add some additional direction. Um, to direct the human services department to return on or before December 13th with an update on the transition funding, uh, and the newly established contracts and performance tracking mechanisms and efforts to explore other funding mechanisms um, for agencies not being recommended for award and progress on the lessons learned. As part of the lesson learned, uh, I would just like some, uh, review on whether we should continue, uh, funding, um, school districts whether we have, uh, an out-of-town funding situations whether we should continue to fund out of town. Whether we should continue to allow self-attestation of the non-profit which may have miscategorized some of them which made it harder for some of them to compete for funding to take a greater look at those that use leverage funding and how that's ranked. And then lastly, I'd like to create a flexibility option which is I think that a lot of this would have been obviated if say 75% of the core funding was allocated directly associated to the ranking process. But another 25% were set a side where the board would have flexibility, uh, to review those that had applied but not receive funding or those that received funding, but it wasn't full funding to make a decision at that time with the 25% held back for greater flexibility. So, it's just providing direction. This is not-- this is just to come back in December with these additional things to be part of the analysis of lessons learned. I think that some of these were some of the flaws that we saw within the process. -I second that. -Can I just-- -Motion by Supervisor Friend, second by Supervisor Coonerty, uh, Supervisor McPherson? -I just want to make it just to clarify this we're just talking about the $500,000. That's clear, because we had the other motion, right? -Um, there is I'm hearing only the 500,000, right. Which is two and then Supervisor Friend just added some specificity to item four which is to make sure when we do the lessons learned we include everything he listed which we can do in the lessons learned process. -Yeah, that's correct. -And to be clear, um, item two is modified as recommended by Supervisor Coonerty, uh, to only be for organizations that received $25,000 or more in 21, 22. -Good luck. -Any further discussion? -I don't know. Um... -Supervisor Caput? -Uh, Randy and Kimberly, the motion is what by Supervisor Friend seconded by Coonerty? -Correct. Yes. -Okay. And are we unraveling anything? -No. Your acceptance of what I admit was my recommendation to do items one and three together, that is where unraveling could have happened if you went against the recommended rankings in the RFP within the RFP, um, budget So that's been passed now unanimously so what we are talking about now is just a policy decision of your board, A, how to spend the 500,000, we have clear direction and the motion makes sense. B, to make sure when we do the lessons learned process and report back that we include everything Supervisor Friend listed which we will interview board members and will talk to community partners. There's a public comment about working with CBOs of course we will do that, get their feedback on parameters. So, all of that makes sense and we can execute on on the motion that's on the table. -And, and we have the money? -Yes. -The money on [inaudible] Okay, thank you. -Alright. Well, if there is no further discussion, then, Clerk, roll call vote, please. -Supervisor Friend? -Aye. -Coonerty? -Aye. -Caput? -Aye. -McPherson? -Aye. -And Koenig? -Aye. -Recommended actions 2 and 4 pass unanimously as amended. -Thank you very much. -Thank you. -All right. We do have a number of other items on our regular agenda but we haven't gone for about three and a half hours so what I'd recommend is that we take a lunch break now until about one o'clock come back,uh, try to finish the remaining items on our regular agenda and then right into budget hearings at 1:30. If that's amendable to everyone then we'll, uh, the board will recess now. Thank you. -All right. We will resume the regular meeting at the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors, and I will begin with a roll call, please. -Supervisor Friend? -Here. -Coonerty? -Here. -Caput? -McPherson? -Here. -And Koenig? -Here. -Thank you. Chair, you have a quorum. -Thank you and for the record, it is 1:01 PM. We will proceed with Item 10 a public hearing to consider the approval of revenue notes by the Santa Cruz County Capital Financing Authority in order to provide interim financing for the Pajaro Valley Healthcare District, purchase of certain assets of the Watsonville Community Hospital. Adopt resolution providing for the issuance and sale of a 22-23 grant application-- anticipation note in amount not exceeding 30 million dollars. Improving a fiscal agent agreement, local obligation note purchase agreement and placement agent agreement and authorizing certain other matters related thereto, articulated actions outlined in the memorandum of the auditor-controller, treasurer, tax collector. For a report on this item, we have our Auditor-Controller, Treasurer, Tax Collector, Ms. Edith Driscoll. -Good afternoon, uh, Chair and members of the board. The item before you today outlines the proposed funding and attached document required for the issuance of a revenue note in order to provide interim financing for the Pajaro Valley Healthcare District. Their purchase of certain assets of the Watsonville Hospital Community Hospital. Watsonville Community Hospital. Approval of the interim financing in the form of revenue notes requires adoption of resolution by the board of supervisors and by the authority board after the board of supervisors conducts a public hearing. As background, the County and other community stakeholders have been instrumental in the formation of the Pajaro Valley Healthcare District. The County has been working diligently with members of the state legislature to obtain grant funding from the state for a portion of the purchase of certain assets of the Watsonville Community Hospital. The documents here reflects the words up to 30 million although, uh, it appears as of now we'll be looking in getting 25 million from the state. After acquisition of the assets, the hospital will be operated by the Pajaro Valley Healthcare District Hospital Corporation. I'm here today along with Suzanne Harrell, the municipal advisor who will explain the funding structure in a moment, uh, and giving you more details. These items are on your agenda today as time is of the essence for funding the purchase of the hospital the deadline for purchase has been set by the bankruptcy court as August 31, 2022. And although we as very appreciative of the state funding, it is not anticipated to be received in time to meet the court-mandated deadline of August 31st. The County has proposed to provide interim financing, interim funding to Pajaro Valley Hospital by August 31, 2122, to be reimbursed when the grant is actually received from the state. I will now ask Suzanne Harrell to provide more detail on this financing item and she'll do so via Zoom. -Good afternoon, members of the board, um, I know you have a lot on your agenda today, so we'll quickly move through, uh, the presentation. Um, as Ms. Driscoll mentioned, um, the Pajaro Valley Healthcare District has raised about 25 million dollars to purchase the hospital out of the bankruptcy. And the state, uh, in their recent budget, uh, bill has provided 25 million in grant funding to assist for the hospital purchase. And, um, the state budget includes actually two-line items for this brand, um, expected to be signed by the governor by June 30th. Next slide. As Ms. Driscoll mentioned, the bankruptcy court has set August 31 as the deadline and, unfortunately, the grant funding will probably not be received until October by the time they process, uh all the paper works at the state level. And so the- this county grant anticipation that will provide the interim funding between the acquisition date sometime in August and the receipt of the grant sometime in October. Next slide. Uh, the notes structure is for the financing, the County's Financing Authority to issue a revenue note which will be sold to an investor. The financing authority will take the funding that it receives and purchase the county's grant anticipation note and the County grant anticipation note proceeds will be held until the hospital escrow closing. Um, as in other financing the county has participated in, the county's financing authority was formed to assist in county financing such as this. And then once the, uh, grant funding is received, the county note and the financing authority note will be redeemed or prepaid, you know, at the earliest possible date. So, the recommendation, um, by the Board of Supervisors is to conduct the public hearing and receive testimony, um, adopt the resolution approving issuance of the county note in form of documents and authorize the payment of costs and interest on the note and for the financing authority board of directors to adopt the resolution approving the issuance of the revenue note and the form of various documents. That concludes my presentation and I'm happy to answer any questions. -Thank you both of you. Are there any questions for members of the board? -Mr. Chair, I don't have any questions I just have a comment. First, great appreciation to our state legislative delegation for the securing of the funding. Um, also, to Ms. Harrell and also our wonderful Auditor-Controller Treasurer Tax Collector for all of your work on this process. This is an essential thing. We have to do this in order to ensure that this- that the hospital stood up and, uh, we have repeatedly said as a board that this is an equity issue, uh, that we are gonna lead on. And, uh, this is, uh, I mean, realistically, this is a very, very, very minimal risk, uh, deal for the county, considering the fact that we've got the state funding coming to backend, it is just really a timing issue. So, I just wanna appreciate how much the- what's being presented here goes by quickly, but there was a massive amount of work done by the county team in order to make this possible. So, just an appreciation, uh, to everybody involved. -Thanks, Supervisor Friend. Supervisor Caput? -You bet. Uh, thank you. And, uh, [clears throat] I don't like to, uh, tempt fate, but, uh, we're getting close. Uh, we're-we're not over the- the complete threshold yet, right? -That I'm gonna actually, um, defer to... -Uh, yes, we're getting, we're getting closer and, um, this is a, a big step in getting us to the final goal. Uh, we were, uh, $16 million short, right where we needed to be, this is $5 million more dollars than we anticipated. Still leaves us with $11 million to get closer. That's after, you know, we've needed $61 million. So now we're down to $11 million short, but we, uh, and we are confident we're gonna make that up in the next month. We have a lot of good leads, but we still have a little bit of work ahead of us. -Okay. Yeah. I know it's been a big project and, uh, close is only good in the horseshoe, right? So, yeah, it's all or nothing. Uh, if, uh, worst case scenario, if we fall short, let's say we fall short by 3 million, 4 million, uh, with the August 31st. I, I don't, they wouldn't say no, right? I mean-- -I will defer those questions to council and the CAO. -I don't know what to say. I, I don't know how to phrase the question any better. -Yeah. And we in, we intend to close the-the sale of, and the purchase of the hospital by the deadline of August 31st. And we're confident we'll be able to do that. -And, uh, they're okay waiting until October, uh, for the state money, right? -No. We're, well, we're, we're gonna be, uh, yeah, that's what we're doing today. We're gonna be taking out this grant anticipation note, so we're gonna get, get the money, borrow it, give it to the hospital for the purchase, and then we will get reimbursed by the State of California, whenever the grant comes in. -Okay. Okay. -Yeah. -You could think of this as a bridge funding. We're bridging that gap. -Yeah. -Time gap. -Pay it and get it back. -Correct. -Okay, great. -Thank you, Supervisor Caput. -Mr. Chair. -Supervisor McPherson? -Yeah, thanks. I just-- I want to [clears throat] just really thank our legislative delegation and also our CAO, Carlos Palacios and our former health services agency director, Mimi Hall, who've been very active in making this happen and I should mention some others, I know. But, uh, those are 2 that I can think of right away. I think this is, we just had a full morning of health and human service discussion, uh, this morning. This is the most important thing for this county to succeed in of any of those health and human services agencies that we've talked about. The long-term impact of this, of providing, um, hospital services to the South County. Especially where we have, uh, an equity concern, uh, as well. Uh, this is the biggest health and human services agency criteria or, uh, accomplishment, excuse me, that we can, we can make. And I wanna thank each and every one of you who've participated in this and made it happen. Thank you. -Thank you, Supervisor McPherson. Any further questions or comments? Seeing none, I'll officially-- -Maybe one, just one more. -Sorry, go ahead. -I, with the Pajaro River flood, uh, acquisi- of the money we got, I thought that was the biggest project, uh, in years, uh, for South County. Uh, now when we have the hospital before us, it's-it's as big a project and, uh, and, uh, and the importance to everybody in the county is, is equal to that. I mean, we got to keep this hospital open. Otherwise, uh, Dominican would be, uh, you know, overrun, I think. And then what about, uh, Sutter hospital? Any indication we might get a million or something from them. -So again, I'm gonna focus on this bridge funding and I'll let Mr. Carlos, Mr. Palacios answer that. -We have, uh, requests to a number of our healthcare partners. Um, and we're hopeful that we're gonna get more funding from them as well as other, uh, state and federal donors as well. So, we're-, we have a lot of asset out and we're hopeful that we're gonna get more help. -Good. Okay. I'll leave it at that. Okay. But we'll celebrate and I'll go in, uh, uh, September 1st. -That's the plan. -Hopefully. -Thank you, Supervisor Caput. If there's no other comments or questions from board members I will officially open the public hearing to any member of the public who wish to address us on this item. Seeing none here in the chambers, is there anyone on Zoom? -We have no speakers on Zoom, Chair. -Alright. Then I will close the public hearing and return it to the board for action. -I'll move the recommended actions. -I'll second. -Motion by Supervisor Friend, second by Supervisor Caput to adopt the recommended actions. Any further discussion? Seeing none. Clerk, roll call votes, please. -To clarify, this is for Item 10. Um, the public hearing for the revenue notes by the Santa Cruz County Capital financing authority. Supervisor Friend? -Aye. -Coonerty? -Aye. -Caput? -I just wanna say thank you again. Edith and Carlos and everybody. Aye. -McPherson? -Aye. -And Koenig? -Aye. -Item 10 passes unanimously. -Thank you. That, uh, resolution being adopted, we'll now proceed to Item 11, which is as the Board of Directors of the Santa Cruz County Capital financing authority to also adopt a resolution, authorizing the issuance, sale, and delivery of a 22-23 revenue note in an amount not exceeding $30 million. Proving a fiscal agent agreement, a local obligation note purchase agreement and placement agent agreement and authorizing certain other matters relating thereto. Particularly, the actions outlined in the memorandum by the executive director. [clears throat] -Thank you. Um, the presentation for this item is very similar to the first one, so I will just let the recommended action stand as they are. -Alright. Any comments or questions from members of the board? [silence] Seeing none, uh, is there anyone in the public that wishes to address us on this item? Seeing no one here in chambers, is there anyone on Zoom? -We have no speakers on Zoom, Chair. -Alright. I'll return to the board for action. -I'll move the recommended actions. -Second. -Motion by Supervisor Friend. Second by Supervisor Caput to, uh, adopt the recommended actions. Any further discussion? Seeing none, Clerk, roll call vote, please. -Supervisor Friend? -Aye. -Coonerty? -Aye. -Caput? -Aye. -McPherson? -Aye. -And Koenig? -Aye. -This item passes unanimously. -Thank you very much. Thank you, Ms. Driscoll, Ms. Harrel. Thank you very, very much. Uh, we'll move on to Item 12 to consider adoption of resolution pursuant to government code 7522.56 exempting the hire of an extra help retired annuitant from the 180-day waiting period as interim staffing support for the Pajaro Valley healthcare district is outlined in a memorandum of the County Administrative Officer. For a report on this item, Assistant CAO, Lisa Benson. -Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you. We will make this very quick. This is an item required under CalPERS rules. It has to be on a regular agenda. Uh, a res-, we're asking you to adopt a resolution that would allow us to hire, uh, Beatrice Flores as a senior departmental, uh, administrative analyst to join our interim staffing team that is supporting the district and the the hospital corporation board. In our pursuit of, uh, buying the, uh, hospital out of bankruptcy and, uh, returning it to, uh, public ownership. As you just learned by the end of August, it's a very tight deadline. We have a lot of things going on and we felt incredibly fortunate- fortunate to have Ms. Flores available and willing to come, provide her expertise in- in supporting these boards and, and helping us along the way. -Mm-hmm. -So again, typically this is not the kind of thing we would have on a regular agenda, but that is something that is required by CalPERS. I'm happy to answer any questions. -Thank you, Ms. Benson. Any questions or comments from board members? Seeing none, any member of the public that wishes to address us on this item? We have none here in chambers. Is there anyone on Zoom? -We have no speakers on Zoom, Chair. -Alright. And I'll return it to the board for action. -I'll move the recommended actions. -Second. -Motion by Supervisor Friend. Second by Supervisor Caput. Any further discussion? -I think it was Coonerty. -Oh, sorry. Second by Supervisor Coonerty. Uh, seeing no further, uh, discussion, Clerk, roll call vote, please. -Supervisor, Friend? -Aye. -Coonerty? -Aye. -Caput? -Aye. -McPherson? -Aye. -And Koenig? -Aye. -Item passes unanimously. -Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Benson. We'll proceed with Item 13. To consider approval of the Measure D, D 5-year plan for 2022-23 Fiscal Year. And take away that actions as outlined in the memorandum with the Deputy CAO Director of Community Development and Infrastructure. And for a report on this item, we have our Assistant Director of the CDID, uh, this Steve. -CDI. -CD-CDI department. -Yeah. Right. -Steve Weisner. -Thank you pretty much. Let's see. I guess I'm on here. Yeah. -You are on. -Okay. Alright. Great. Um, appreciate being here this afternoon. We'll try to be very brief. Um, hello, Chair Koenig and board members and CAO, members of the public. Uh, my name is Steve Weisner. Um, as you said, I'm the assistant director of community development infrastructure. The public works division and here with me today is Casey Carlson. He's our senior civil engineer in charge of the county's pavement management program and [inaudible], our directors and the board chambers as well. Uh, Mr. Carlson and I are here today to present your board with a brief Measure D 5-year plan update. In our presentation, we'll cover a brief history of Measure D, our past year's projects, this year's project, and then the Measure D 5- year plan update that you have before you today. Alright. So with that, there's just a few bullet items here. Just to remind everybody that Measure D was a countywide half cent sales tax measure that was passed by our voters in November 2016. It provides, um, some critical funding. Um, it's a 30-year funding source for transportation projects, countywide. Um, county road revenue this year is estimated to be approximately 3.6 million. This is in the next upcoming fiscal year and, uh, per the annual, uh, requirements, um, of the ordinance that the regional transportation commission has, um, we're required to come back every year to update our 5 year plan in, in a public hearing. So that's why we're here today. [clears throat] um, after Measure D was passed in 2016, we actually went out and polled, uh, many of the communities in the incorporated areas of our county and the top priorities we found that our folks wanted, um, was maintenance and repair of county roadways. Um, specifically in our neighborhoods and with a focus on safety. Next slide, please. Thank you. So just very quickly. Um, so this is the 5th year of implementation for Measure D, um, it's been a great program for us every year. Um, since 2018, when we started building a bank for these projects, we've been able to put out a pavement management project. Um, so I'm just gonna briefly go over the first 4 years. Next slide, please. And I think-- Great. So, in district one, um, back in 2018, we did a little bit of work up in the summit area on Miller Hill and Miller cutoff. 2019, we're able to hit some neighborhoods down in the Live Oak area. 2020, we hit some of the area, um, some of the roads down in the Thurber Area. And in '21, um, we focused in, in some of this Soquel neighborhood streets. In District 2. Um, we started out in the La Selva area of, of that, of that district. Um, the next year on 2019, we moved into the Rio Del Mar area and in 2020, we were able to hit some roads in the Seacliff neighborhood. And then this last year, we did a couple roads down in Corralitos. In District 3, which has, um, actually not as many of the roads, um, as some of the other districts in our county. Um, we to do a meaningful project, we actually have to bank for a couple years. And so we banked '18 and '19, and we were able to complete, um, all the entire length of Martin Road. And, um, the last couple years we've been banking towards a much larger project out on Swanton Road. In District 4, the first year of money. And, um, you recall Supervisor Caput, we were able to replace the Casserly Bridge, which was kind of an emergency at that time. Um, and then in 2019, uh, '19 and '20, um, you know, we'd saved up enough money to do the entirety of Lakeview Drive over those 2 fiscal years. Um, we were presently banking money towards Paulsen Road, which we plan to deliver next year. And in District 5, um, it's been great. We've been able to hit like the downtown core areas of, um, the San Lorenzo Valley area We started off in 2018 in Boulder Creek. Moved to Ben Lomond in 2019. And in, um, 2020, we were able to hit downtown Felton. And now we're back up in Boulder Creek and starting to work our way out towards the downtown core area. Okay. So, with that, I'm just gonna have Casey briefly go over the project that we have going on this year. Oh, if you click the button, there you go. -Hear me now? -Yeah. - Alright. Uh, thank you. So, uh, for this year's project in District 1. We've got work on Thurber and Fairway, as well as Portola and 7th. On Portola, we're gonna be doing some green bike lane striping in addition to the resurfacing. Next slide, please. Gotcha. District 2, uh, Rio Del Mar. Uh, we're gonna do Cliff and Martin as well as Venetia and Marina, uh, some other streets and the flats there. And as well as some work we're doing in conjunction with so-called Creek Water District in the, uh, Cabrillo College area for some, uh, water main work that had been down there. Next slide, please. Uh, District 3 as Steve said we are still reserving funds for Swanton Road. We are hoping to have a project out there on about 2025. Next slide, please. And District 4, we've been reserving funds for Paulsen Road. We hope to bring that um, next summer in 2023. And District 5, um, we're working in Ben Lomond now and, um, proceeding, proceeding, well, everything's going well in the project so far and back to Steve. -Yeah, I would agree. Yeah. So um, and so what you have before you today is the 2022 Measure D 5 year plan update, um, with your approval, we'll be forwarding that onto the RTC, uh, for their records. Um, the one thing to note in this year's plan is that, um, we've recommended a set aside a $400,000 set aside just right off the top. And that's gonna provide some critical match funds for a grant that we won to rebuild the multi-use path along green valley drive down in the Southern portion of our county. Um, other than that, the plan looks pretty much the same as it has in the last couple of years. Um, and, and we've been working our way through that initial 5-year list and, and we're doing very well. So with that, um, really appreciate your support on this program. The recommended actions for today are to adopt the attached five, uh, Measure D 5-year plan update for this next fiscal year for the 2022-23 fiscal year. And authorize public works to submit a copy of the approved board package to the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission. -You vote? -Alright. I think that was under 5 minutes. -Alright. -And with that, we're happy to take any questions that you might have. -Thank you, Assistant Director Weisner and Mr. Carlson. Are there questions or comments from members of the board? Yes, Supervisor McPherson. -Yeah. I, I like to take every opportunity I can to look forward to, uh, presenting that this is presented to thank the voters for passing Measure D in, uh, 2016. Uh, when we became a self-help county, meaning that the state recognized us as a community. A county that said, okay, we wanna put something in for our roads. The state said, okay, we'll help you with that and match it. So, it, it was a twofer in that respect. And we positioned ourselves to leverage measure D, um, the dollars to qualify for millions of dollars from the state and federal transportation grants as well. Um, so it was, um, it was just a great success story and one that the voters two-thirds of the voters county wide saw and the 5th and the 5th district, which is mine. Uh, I think their third, uh, 13 projects this year, um, uh, uh, for the Measure D funded projects. And when you mentioned the 3.6 million, that was for just the countywide roads the cities, when it gets to that, it's probably 5 or 6 million total, isn't it? When they have their road improvements, uh, money, too? -That's right. Well, so the there's a bunch of different buckets for the Measure D sales tax measure. And the local neighborhood projects are about is 30% of the overall annual take of which the county gets about half of that. -Okay. -Yeah. So, if we're getting 3.6, then yeah, it's seven, seven and a half to 8 million is what? Yeah. -Well, congratulations, again. And thank you, Mr. Weisner, you, uh, and, and the whole public works department, um, you've been very, very responsive to people and if they wanna know what's in it for me, uh, where would they go to see it on the website? Would they-- -Yeah, so we do, um, we do have a link to the Measure D 5, 5-year update, um, on the public works website. Um, and I think the RTC also has houses that link as well. -Okay. Thank you again. -Yeah. -Thank you, Supervisor McPherson. Any other comments or questions from board members? -Chair Koenig. -Supervisor, Caput? - Okay. Is that alright? Okay. Yeah. I want to thank you guys for, uh, all the work you've been doing. I'll miss you next year. [laughs] And I won't be bothering you. So, uh, everything looks good. Uh, Paulsen Road, is that towards the, uh, uh, the flooded area? uh, -- -Yeah. -It's, it is from Green Valley. Yeah. Down to where Whiting starts. -Yeah. Are we gonna be able to do anything to keep it from flooding as bad as it was, uh -You know, with this project doesn't entail any type of drainage work. No. -You'd have to build the bridge. Right? -There's some pretty big drainage improvements will be required. Yeah. -It'll make it better, uh, at least. And, uh, uh, who came up with a great idea, uh, the Casserly Bridge, uh, that we replaced over by Smith Road. -Yeah, that was actually, uh, it was an internal design Um, our road design section, that's headed up by Tim Bailey. They came up with that idea. -Yeah. You want to take credit for that, or-- -I'm not gonna take credit. I'm passing that credit along. Yeah. We have some good engineers who work for public works, and they came up with that idea and we were able to get it done. -It was genius. -Yeah. -Uh what, it was gonna cost four times as much as we spent, and we only had so much money. [clears throat] And if we did it the, uh, uh, paperwork way where everything had to be done a certain way, it would've delayed the project probably 2 years and cost 4 times what we spent. And out of your office, you came up with a plan that, uh, satisfied fishing game, satisfied, uh, uh, everything. And, uh, we were able to get it done in like 3 months. -Yeah. -I thouhgt it was remarkable. -Thank you. I'll pass that praise around. -Yeah. So, give my, thanks to, uh, who who came up with the design? -W-well, his name is Tim Bailey and he's our senior design engineer in the road section. -He did a great job. -Yeah Yeah. Then the other, um um we're, we're spending some of that money on Paulsen Road. Uh, but maybe in about 2 years we might be able to, how about next year, we'll be able to at least patch potholes on Murphy Road? -Well, for sure, our pothole patching program continues annually. Um, but after we build Paulsen, we'll start building a bank again for Murphy's crossing. We know that's the next priority in your district. We think it's about a 2, about 2 to 3 years to save up enough money to do that. -Okay. -Yeah. -Yeah. -And, uh, it's, uh uh, it'll be a little embarrassing for a year because, uh, Monterey is probably gonna start, uh, next year. -We understand their project is going. Yeah. -Yeah. And then, uh, when it gets to the Santa Cruz side, but, uh, within a couple of years, uh, we'll catch up. Okay. It was either, uh, Paulsen or Murphy with some of that money. Right? -That's right. -Okay. And then, uh, let's go Murphy, Paulsen, you know, that's pretty much it, uh, I, uh, oh, uh, Houlihan and Highway 152, uh, we're gonna start pretty soon. -Um, we are actually, that's not funded through Measure D, um, but that project is actually on track to hopefully be put out this fall. -Okay. They- they got to start it before the rainy season, though. Right? -Um, we'll get into construction and then if you know, rain delays us, then, you know, be delayed, but yeah, our plan is to just go, go forward with it. -So, we're thinking around September, October? -Yes, that's right. -Okay. Hey, thanks again. -Thank you. -Thank you. -Thanks, Supervisor Caput. Well, I, it's hard not to get excited about road projects. It's, uh, ask the voters and it's just consistently at the top of, uh, things they'd like to see more of. Um, so we're grateful that we do have Measure D, um, I mean, of course, there's a lot of, uh, you know, un-unmet need throughout our road system, but, um Measure D does allow us to make some essential, uh, repairs. I'm, I'm really excited about the repairs we'll be making in the first district. Um, you know, with that limited amount of money, we are focusing on some major collectors and arterials where I know, uh, a lot of people are gonna be able to appreciate those improvements. Uh, and I'm also grateful for the fact that we're looking at ways to improve bike and, uh, pedestrian infrastructure at the same time as we undertake those projects to really get as much bang for our buck as possible. Supervisor Friend? -Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, obviously I share the appreciation. I, I have, uh, just a, a brief question and then a comment. The comment is just as we, if the board ends up moving forward on the, uh, the combined department's, uh, analysts that handle communications. I think to the degree that we can improve some of the Measure D and storm-related damage, uh, the website and sort of the outreach would be preferred. It is sometimes kind of tough, I think for constituents to really know what's coming up next, what the timelines are of things, um, I'm intimately familiar with, with the page that you have for SB1 and Measure D but there still requires some deconstruction So, I think that just to the degree that, that, that information's easily accessible, the community would make it better. I did have a follow, uh, my question just deals with, um, once mobilized some of the adjacency advantages for, for roads, is it possible as we go into at least next fiscal? And we-we go to bid, when I look at some of these roads, I sometimes see that there are some, this is what happened in Corralitos. As you may recollect last year, we were doing a number of roads. There was kind of a- a stranded small road that ended up being about 25 or 30,000 additional dollars in order to, to complete, uh, your team was very generous, um, of being able to do it. I mean, it came out of my, uh, the second district's allocation for this coming year for Measure D funds, but all the same, there was an adjacency component. Is there a way to just moving forward on these roads to- to- to structure an RFP as such to kind of see whether there's, whether we can grab an extra road or two in each of these districts, or make a determination as a board, even regarding general fund allocation for additional backfill on Measure D funding? I feel as though sometimes when we have this mobilized, it's actually a pretty de minimis cost for this additional road that may be adjacent, but we're not really given an option because we don't see, uh, that as a price point sort of as a menu price point. - Well, that's a good point. And also, a great question. Um, we- we do look at adjacency, adjacency to the- to the projects that we have out there. Um, if our, if our bids we've only been using Measure D funds for, for this program. So, if our bids come in a little lower than what we had anticipated, um, then there might be an opportunity for their, for the-- for us to add a road. Um, let's say mid-project through a change order or something like that. Um, it's hard for us to know exactly how the bids are gonna come in. So we can't 100% anticipate that, and we don't necessarily want to telegraph that. Um, that said, uh, we're definitely always looking for opportunities to get more done when we're in an area. And so, yeah, to your point, we would always be looking for that. -But to the degree I- I hear what you're saying about how to structure the RFP. And I recognize telegraphing to the degree though, that, um, that information that- -that could be found out even expo facto once mobilized would be useful for the board to then make a determination. This all falls during budget time anyway, um, Director Wiesner. So, I mean, to me, I feel like meaning that when we make these, the- the projects are done during the summer or the budget. The board is making it, these determinations around the same time, the Measure D 5-year plan comes at the same time. So that- that would be a time for for a last day discussion potentially of maybe it's- it's not an additional significant amount of money and you get to add a road per district. I-I don't actually know what it would be, but I just want, I'm talking about for- for future boards, especially to be able to have that kind of flexibility for adjacency might make sense is built into your communications program as part of the budget time. -We're certainly willing to have that conversation. -Thank you. -Thank you, Supervisor Friend. Alright. Seeing no other comments or questions from board members, I'll open it to the public, any member of the public who wishes to address us on the 5-year Measure D plan? Seeing none here in the chambers, is there anyone on Zoom? -We have no speakers on Zoom, Chair. -Alright, then I'll return to the board for action. -[inaudible] -I'll move. -So, we have a motion by Supervisor McPherson. Is that a second by Supervisor Caput? Alright, any further discussion? Seeing none, Clerk, roll call vote, please. -Supervisor Friend? -Aye. -Coonerty? -Aye. -Caput? -Aye. -McPherson? -Aye. -And Koenig? -Aye. -This item passes unanimously. -Thank you both. -Thank you. -All right, we'll now proceed. We are, for those of us joining in the public audience today, we are still on the regular agenda. Uh, and we just have a couple more items and anticipate beginning the, uh, or continuing the budget hearings shortly. So, we are on Item 14 from this morning's regular agenda. And as the board of directors of the freedom county sanitation district, uh, we'll have a public hearing to consider 22-23 Freedom County Sanitation District Sewer Service Charge Report, and adopt resolution confirming the 22-23 sewer service charge report as outline in the memorandum of the district engineer. For a report on this item, we have Ashleigh Trujillo. -Hi, good afternoon. On May 10, 2022, the board approved in concept the fiscal year, 2022-23 sewer service charges for the Freedom County Sanitation District. And set today is the date of the public hearing for the sewer service charge report. The sewer service charges are increasing by an overall amount of 7.4%.

Stellaris | How to play as a Pacifist & Fanatic Pacifist
hi guys how's it going so today I wanted to talk about pacifism because this is something that I've avoided using in the past but actually there's some really interesting combinations that you can do with pacifist I'm gonna go over basically what pacifism does so you've got two different forms of it we'd sure obviously regular pacifism and a fanatical pacifism normal fascism stops you being able to declare war for aggressive reasons basically what you infinite stead do is you can actually declare war to impose your ideology on your enemy so the idea is for you go to war and if you win war venue or for my enemy can become an ally so you know this is a really good way of actually building up you almost like I'm a sort of Federation of Planets you know like this kind of reminds me of Star Trek in a sense like you can kind of convert people to your way of thinking and fell be friends with you and then basically if you want to sort of dominate them and then later integrate from into your economy pacifist is actually quite good one of the other things is if you take like half the enemy Empire right then with pacifism if you use the pacifist war doctrine basically p.m. Empire will be split in half between the former Empire and a new empire which will be friendly to you basically with the same ethics and everything so this is actually a very powerful mechanic which you can kind of use to kind of reshape the galaxy to kind of be your friend and you'd like us so you can form like really good Federation's and stuff away too and of course the gives you V lovey +5 stability and +10 administrative cap which gives you a big advantage or maybe a small advantage is science in the early game fanatical pacifist is a completely different kind of animal instead of well you can still kind of Eclair war way if you're a regular pacifist but if you're a fanatical pacifist you cannot declare war pretty much for any reason so it does completely change the game mechanics I mean obviously you can still find offensive walls and things but again one of the things that you can do here is okay so you've got a plus 20 admin administrative capacity right that'll give you a boost to science so if you um take very quickly then you can actually kind of out pick out compete the enemy economically so you can do some interesting things with still spoilers okay invest spoilers here one of one of the ways that you can actually win with fanatical pacifist and I don't know if I think this is true with regular pacifist too is you can actually build a super weapon right which may be surprising and then when you go to war with an enemy what you actually do is you can encapsulate the whole planet in a force field and this is instead of like mass destruction basically so but it has the same kind of effect in the game so yeah you encapsulate an enemy planet that planet is basically taken out of the game overpopulation are basically traps on the planet or they can't leave right so it's kind of a pacifist way of destroying your enemy even though all the population is kind of in theory still alive even though they've been taken out of the game so that's a very interesting mechanic I kind of found again I played a whole game as fanatical pacifist and I didn't do too badly actually I um think I formed like a few Federation's and things one thing you may want to try is if you choose pacifist and authoritarian xenophobe okay xenophobe will kind of unlock things like slavery options so you can enslave aliens or for Terran I think unlocks nihilistic acquisition right which is an ascension purge which basically allows you when you declare war you can send ships into an enemy area and you can abduct like nearly all of their population of the planet so even even as a pacifist you can basically make slaves that are very entire population and obviously here you can kind of keep the slaves on on a permanent basis or you can kind of from work from to death basically whatever you prefer but some yeah this is actually a really good method for um you know building up sort of you know mega planets that produce huge amounts of goods and services and things there's also an auction I think it's called domestic servitude right where the enemies will actually work as servants basically and they will increase the amenities on our planet by 20% it only goes up to 20% but vacuums you about 20% happiness bonus on the planet so that can be really quite effective and I think even the same spinner fit from 20% bonus yeah there's some really interesting choices but you can kind of think about but um yeah hope that gives you a bit of hue on pacifism okay guys so I'm it's an example of a pacifist Empire that I built earlier so as you can see it's some pretty massive I think I started off as fanatical pacifist but I kind of found it way too restrictive basically so I ended up moving more towards for the fan fanatic Xena fall basically so calorie orientated the Empire so I'm just mildly pacifist okay and war so the fanatic Xena fall so okay you might want to know what time a shrouded planet does which is perfectly reasonable to ask so let's have a look here so um here's what i shredded earlier as you can see you actually get 10 society research points which is kind of cool so I mean I kind of gather everyone still alive on our planet so now we do it's just research from so you can also shroud these stations right but what you need to do okay this is a good tip a instead of clicking on the actual structure itself click on the name tag right so you would click on a name tag right click and select shroud or whatever and that would actually shroud it whereas if you just click on the structure itself it won't do anything I think that's one of the things that's broken in the game so population wise in this particular game I've got huge quantities of population from everywhere some of these guys were brought as slaves I think a lot were kind of gained through conquest which might be surprising considering you you think I'm a pacifist but yeah you can still manage you can still do quite a lot of um you know have different kinds of guys warn hey guys just wanted to give you a massive thank you for watching if you liked the video please subscribe give this a thumbs up if you didn't like it give a thumbs down it's up to you entirely but yeah please let me know in the comments what you thought and thank you very much for watching

Generational Hoarding and its Impact on our Youth with Guest Ricky Twiggs
generational hoarding and its impact ah what a tough subject but I'm really glad that we're going to have this conversation today I'm joining you today with the uh clutter Corner audience and then also the ask a house cleaner audience because we have some really serious things we got to talk about today and I'm hoping that as you join me I want to say hi to everybody here joining me I want to hope that as you join me I just did that my screen went weird and whacka dooodle on me um Isn't that cool and so weird um I want to ask that you um let me see if I can fix that because it's going to be super distracting um hang on me and my technology who knew something weird like this would happen uh see if I can make this be a green screen there we go green screen okay green is better than Wiggly blue so hi and welcome um this is a tough subject that we're talking about about today and I'm going to ask that you do jump in and ask your questions um Sandra says hi hi how you doing um V vdra says Hi everyone Chatterbox says Hi um Lisa says hello from Witchita Kansas I'm so glad you guys have joined us one of the conversations that we've been having as professional house cleaners over the last several weeks and months is how do we approach situations where house cleaners are going inside homes and they're dealing with kids and teenagers that are in hoarding or terribly cluttered situations and are suffering results from it and it's academic results it's social results that they're suffering with there are uh social issues there are self Haring issues there are self-esteem issues and we see house cleaners that are going inside these homes and they come out brokenhearted and they're asking questions like how do we help and what do we do and it's a real concern and it started several Generations ago and so we want to go back to the Great Depression which was triggered by the crash of the stock market back in 1929 so we're at almost a hundred years ago and depending on how you classify a generation whether it's 20 or 25 years we're talking about four or five generations deep and so right now we've run into a really weird icky sticky situation where we have residual effects that have kind of powered down generation after generation now before we talk about kids and the effects that it's having on them I want to go back to a time when I was a child I grew up in a home where we had very limited space and there were 19 of us kids and so we were told whatever you can keep you can keep inside a milk case so we were limited on our personal belongings but the family had their own share of stuff and this came from my grandfather who had ho Tendencies now my grandfather grew up in the Great Depression and so they were very resourceful about the things that they saved because getting new things was not as easy as it once was so for example one of the things that was really important to them is that they didn't waste anything and so if anything was given to them even if they didn't want it they'd say yes we'll take it thank you very much and we'll figure out a way to make it work for us and so they became very resourceful I too grew up in a very resourceful home with 19 kids we didn't have a lot of things but we would take what we had and we'd be very resourceful with it and we would recraft it we would repaint it we would take a wheel off of this and put it on something over here which meant the thing that we took it off of now was missing a wheel right so we were saving weird stuff and so there's this weird kind of trap that some of us fall into and I know that my grandfather as a kid I was perplexed by this but my grandfather would be out walking and as he would walk with us and he would find a Little Nail on the pavement he would pick up the nail even if it was bent and he would take it home and he had a little coffee can and he would collect these little nails and bolts and whatever he could find in these coffee cans what was interesting about that is if it was bent or broken he would take a hammer and he would hammer it out and now you and me would sit here go that's not a very good use of your time right it wasn't but that's the era he grew up in we don't waste and his motto was waste not want not and so that was a motto he shared with my dad when he was raising my dad and then my dad raised me with the same philosophy now let's flip the switch a second and I'll tell you about my mother my mother is the second oldest of 16 kids her parents also grew up during the Great Depression so what happened was my mother from the same era of oh let's save everything and let's be resourceful also growing up in a large family had to make ends meet if you will and so the the generation after generation of saving and storing and being resourceful with things comes from actually a really good place if the world had saved and restored and repurposed everything it had our landfills wouldn't be so full and we wouldn't be as wasteful as we are today okay so there are great things that came from that generation so I don't want to knock it and smack it upside the head and say oh that's all bad I want to say wow how amazing that we came from an era where we were taught to reuse things instead of waste them all right but now let's Flash Forward we do live in an era today where everything is on discount and things are readily available to us and we can buy things for very inexpensively and so there's a whole generation of stuff it's like I don't have the time I don't want to be resourceful I don't care this is old let me throw it away and let me get something new and there's a big sandwiched group in the mdle that are like whoa whoa don't throw that away I might be able to use that for something else here's a perfect example inside my house right now I have two irons now my my husband does most of the ironing because he's ironing his own shirts and he's resourceful and responsible that way but what's interesting is one of those irons does not work it does not work and it does not work which is why we replaced it and why we have a second iron but he won't let me throw that first Iron away in case the old one breaks okay well if the old or if the new one breaks for example you're not going to go back and use the old one because it already broke it's already broke it's not going to work again it was so broke we replaced it we bought a new one right I know the logic is twisted and it's a little bit um doesn't make so much sense but here's the rule I will let him keep two irons because one gives him Security in the event that the new one breaks okay well well if the new one breaks we'll probably buy another one right but the catch is this lots of people have lots of things just in case all right so how does this affect the younger generation and this is where it gets really confusing there are a lot of kids that grow up with a lot of stuff and they don't have an appreciation for the stuff and they don't take care of the stuff and they have way too much stuff and then parents now that get divorced they try to buy the kids love with buying them stuff so now the have more stuff and then if I Feel My Love from my parent comes from them giving me stuff then the only way and this is a trap so beware parents if you're buying your kids love with stuff this is a trap if the kid wants to feel loved what did they do they ask for more stuff what they're asking for is I want more love I want more attention I want I want to feel noticed and and appreciated it doesn't mean give me more stuff because a lot of the stuff kids have just is just confusing and overwhelming and there's not a place for all this stuff stuff gets old it gets neglected it gets not taken care of and then it gets abused and unappreciated then we expect kids to go out in the real world and make a way for themselves and they're like oh why would I work everything's been given to me right so it's this weird trap that we find kids in in the summer of 2015 we had a troubled teenager come to live with us and she was an amazing person but she came from a home where her mother had passed away when she was young and so as a I think a residual effect I don't know all the nuances of what was actually triggering her but she had a real tendency to be a hoarder and for a teenager to be a hoarder is kind of a unique thing because a lot of the items that she had did not even belong to her she stole items from other people so that she could hoard them and so even though it was a requirement in our home that her room was neat and tidy every day she would UNP everything in her room make these huge piles of clothing and items and stuff and then literally you would have to go in and help her sort through those items and you'd find 20 or 30 cell phones and these cell phones did not belong to her she did not have the cell phones she'd stolen them from other kids or traded them or who knows where she got them but uh they did not belong to her so there was a constant process of trying to go in and clear out the room and have conversations and go to therapy and try to resolve these issues but what was happening is I think she was trying to sandwich her own emotions like I'm feeling all this sadness and I feel like if I'm smothered in stuff I will feel better and so her Comfort at an odd place was being surrounded and sandwiched and smothered by stuff it didn't even have to be her own stuff just stuff and the rest of our house was not a hoarding house but that was one of her behaviors to try to work through all right so while she was feeling these moments of sadness and despair and there were probably a lot of other issues but again when the home was so untidy she was always embarrassed to invite friends over like hey invite your friends over we have a good house here that you can invite your friends it's a a limited environment we know what's happening here your friends are welcome we'll make you guys snacks or food you guys can watch movies but because of her own little bubble of I got to be surrounded in my stuff she'd get really discouraged and depressed and embarrassed and then she didn't want to invite friends over how sad is that and so it was this ongoing tug of war of how do we make her comfortable and make her feel like she's important and she's needed and she's appreciated and also provide her with the social skills to then make new friendships and try to work through this scenario okay so there are a lot of issues that are going on there I want to say uh hi to all of our friends here this is so exciting you guys I'm so glad that you joined me um I have uh Kaylee here she says make space for the children that's true yes please do um she says love the positive lessons your grandparents passed down thank you I love my grandparents they were so cool and Miss MOA says I'm a Sentimental hoarder items that belong to relatives that bring back memories that people in my family crafted Etc I was an only child and an only grandchild on one side so lots of stuff um and I I love this acknowledgement because there are a lot of kids that are from homes where they were an only child and as a result of that everybody tried to spoil that child everybody tried to give the kids stuff and then as a result of that the kids grow up thinking I'm important if I have stuff right when in reality we come into the world without stuff and we leave the world without stuff we don't take it with us when we go and so it's interesting when you start looking at this stuff we amass over the course of our lives and how does it affect our families around us um so the first thing that I want to uh mention when we're talking about kids and teenagers is if they come from a home that is super cluttered or is okay with hoarding a lot of times there are situations in the home that are less than desirable and I say that in a sense from a hygiene perspective it's really hard to go in and clean the shower for example and make it nice and sparkly and shiny if you're tripping over stuff to get inside the bathroom right just finding the floor to get in there is the the big deal and so when you take a shower then instead of you hopping into a place with nice hot water and it's a clean sanitary shower and you're having this moment of solitude and like hey I'm doing something nice for myself and I I love the hot steam that's coming from the shower and the hot water and I just feel refreshed and clean what happens is you're dodging the pink slime on the bottom of the the shower and maybe mold and maybe there's some soap scum on the sides of the shower walls and so that becomes the new normal and that becomes okay and so even though our kids and and grandkids are taking showers what happens then is that environment is that's their new norm and they get used to that okay well it's grimy but it's my Grime right and so they say that's that's how we live here and that becomes okay and then what happens is then when they go out to become adults in their own world they have a tendency to repeat those behaviors just like when kids grow up in a hoarding environment they tend to repeat those behaviors and so when I watched my dad have little coffee cans of nails and bolts suddenly I saw him repeating what he saw his dad do now my dad was n as uh Studio as to hammer out you know smashed nails or what have you but incredibly resourceful and so to this day he has like every different size of nail you would think he has like a a storage that's like a a Home Depot unit you need some bolts you need some uh you know nails or whatever dad's got them in all different sizes and my dad is super organized he has them all labeled and they're all in like matching crates and it kind of looks like a Pinterest garage and it's amazing but it's got all the stuff and you really need all the stuff and the answer is no for example I'm sitting on a chair right now that I put together I bought it and it came in a box and then it has one of these um star bottoms to it and then it has casters on it and so it has five Caster but they sent me seven why did they send me seven it only has room for five did it think that I was going to break two of them or did it think that I was going to lose two of them I don't want to be ugly or anything but once the chair is on the ground around chances are that it's going to get up and run away and like lose some of its casters they kind of slim the chair is going to like move in like two or three feet of where it started it's not going very far why do I need the extra two casters so if this was my dad my dad would save those two casters and he would get excited and say look they sent me two extra casters how cool is this I might be able to use these for something and then In fairness to my daddy super creative he probably would figure out a place to put those two extra casters and like hey I got two free extra casters you know bonus me but the reality is we end up saving and storing stuff like that because that's what we knew from our parents so my question is what message are we passing down to our kids and their kids and their kids because right now we're four or five generations deep since the Great Depression and what's happening now is there's an era and it's kind of scary because I'm seeing it everywhere I go right now and it really became prevalent during the pandemic when people were staying at home and then they were like whoa check it out I'm at home I guess I should like go in that room that room well we all know what that room is right it's the room that we kind of put stuff in and we were decorating the house and we had an extra painting and couldn't figure out where to put it so we put it in that room and it's a new painting still has a price tag on it but we've had it too long we can't return it to the store and don't want to get rid of it and we got a whole room full of weird odds and ends and they're good like they're good stuff and should we ever redecorate or should we ever go into the real estate business and we become like home stagers we've got all the goods what are we doing with them what are we doing with them and it's confusing when we have stuff we don't need don't want don't use and then our family members think to themselves that stuff must be important to us because we took such good care of it this is not something we stored in a storage unit never to be seen or heard of again this is stuff that we kept in our homes or worse than that stuff that was on display we have home after home that we've gone into to clean and there are China cabinets that are full of silver that hasn't been used in 60 years and when we ask the homeowner what are you doing with all the silver they're like I don't know my mother had it did she use it no but she got it from her mother okay well that's great but if you're not using it and your mother is no longer with us and her mother is no longer with us and you're not using it either why do we have this huge china cabinet in the house that we have to clean and maintain and like move around every time we walk into the room because nobody is using it and it's it's great if it's a display but lots of the stuff in our homes nobody's using and nobody will ever use it again again and so can we get rid of some of that stuff because here's what's going to happen the next generation is going to come in and say oh wow this was my mom's she had it on display in her living room I tripped over that China hutch for my entire life growing up it must have meant something to my mom and when we talk about sentimental foring what does that mean does that mean we're holding on to a piece of our mother because she was holding on to a piece of her mother and her mother and her mother no the thing is this we come to Earth and stuff comes into our lives for whatever reason I know a bunch of stuff has come into my life some of it I bought but a lot of it people gave me and I ask myself right now when stuff comes into my life am I going to use this right now no no I'm not am I ever going to use it probably not do I need to keep it probably not is it going to hurt somebody's feelings if I give it away probably not okay okay so then what happens is I tag it right there I tag it with a Post-It note and I tag it with who I got it from so let's say that I got this from Michelle and so I say a gift from Michelle on this such and such a date and then I make a little note how I know Michelle I know her from the church group okay cool if I'm gonna regift this I'm not gonna regift it to anyone from the church group because Michelle might find out right but if it's brand new it's still in its box and I've decided immediately that it's just the wrong item for me and it doesn't have any sentimental value I love Michelle but I don't need this thing that she gave me and so what I can do is I can regift it for the next Christmas or the next birthday or the next white elephant gift party that we have let me tell you a minute for about white elephant parties and I encourage you if you haven't done this to do this because the holidays are coming up and this is one of the funnest things we've ever done during the holidays it gets really expensive for a lot of people people get together with office parties family parties and they all feel really obligated to buy each other check it out more stuff and it's really um frustrating because you got to go fight the stores and you got to buy something for someone and if it's clothing you don't know what size they wear and you want to buy them a small because it would be insulting to buy them a large but you don't really know and you can't ask because that would be rude so you just buy them something it doesn't fit so then they get it and they're like they kind of thought that you know I was this size and I'm not and so then they have to take it back to the store and they have to get a refund and it's a whole bunch of hassle right so there're a bunch of things that we buy for people that really they don't want don't need can't use and so what we started doing is we started doing white elephant holiday parties this was so fun we did this last year with everyone in our team what we did was this we told everybody to declutter your home and pick out all the stuff that you want that's good that you're never going to use again and wrap it up really nicely so that it looks like a fancy gift that somebody would want to have because we're going to pick the gifts based on the wrapping everybody has extra wrapping paper in their house we didn't want anybody to buy any wrapping paper but we had lots of extras wrap it up we're gonna have a great big party and then we're going to uh give gifts and they're going to be white elephant donation gifts that you guys don't want anymore and then you can either keep your gift or you can swap it with another gift in the room and so there were people I kid you not there were people brought a whole bunch of stuff it wasn't just like I'm getting rid of one thing they brought a whole bunch of stuff we had a lot of gifts so everybody went around the room several times and they were picking their gifts and this is a really fun holiday party this went on for a couple hours people are picking gifts they would open it up and they're like oh that is such a cool gift and someone else is like I want that and someone is like I'm never gonna use that I hope someone takes this gift from me so it became this joke people wanted to get rid of some of the stuff some people wanted the thing and they were just weird odds and ends like there was this little uh llama that was one of those little chia pets and my husband I don't know why but he loves llamas he thinks they're like the coolest animal ever so even though that was a weird gift that we would never have purchased in a million years he wanted that really badly and so he swapped like five or six times and people keep swapping for the little Chia llama right um and then also at the front door on your way out we had a great big donation box so if there was anything that you ended up with that you really didn't want put it in the Box on the out the door and the next day it was going to go to the Goodwill and so it was a really great way to celebrate the holiday for everybody to get together for everybody's families to have gifts and have a really fun time without spending any money okay and because we were getting rid of stuff it was okay to continue getting rid of it so I ended up with a few things that I'm like I didn't really want this and I got stuck with it and it went right in the box after everybody left and it went to the Goodwill the next day okay okay so it's okay but what we did was we took things that were important to us for whatever reason we've been hanging on to them we don't want them can't use them but would love to give them away now this year we already told people like start start decluttering again go through your stuff and find more things for a white elephant party because it was a really fun thing to do we've continued that through the course of the year in our business savvy cleaner where we train house cleaners and Maid we got a whole team of people and we meet every Monday morning for our meetings and we have what's called a lousy prize Monday so every Monday somebody brings it it's it doesn't have to be a piece of junk it's usually a piece of junk but uh something that they don't want and it's something that somebody gave them or whatever like one was a little tiny bag it was like a little tote bag but it was only like this big like if you were going to take it to the grocery to put your groceries in it it would fit all of a tomato or maybe two apples or something and pretty much useless and it had somebody's logo or something on it right there a lousy priz and so then we draw names like we we draw numbers like you pick from one to 500 and the closest person that picks that number wins the lousy prize the next week they're responsible to bring a lousy prize and so just the lousy prizes that have shuffled through our office it's this huge game and it's so much fun but you can do things like that that will help get rid of stuff okay and I don't recommend you give them to people in your family because we want to get them out of your home H but there are things you can do like that okay so how it affects our families is a direct correlation on how they're going to treat their families and their families and their families on through the generations okay and I'm I'm putting a halt to it I'm saying you know what my grandfather his grandfather my dad my mom they all had these um Great Depression backgrounds where we save save save save save and don't get rid of anything for dear life we hang on to it for dear life and so my generation I'm like no we're not going to save that the things that are in my life I want to be things that made us better people not things because things perish I don't I don't want to be remembered by perishable things I don't and so for me it's a conscious effort really asking myself do I need this and the real kicker is this if you'll go through your house and you'll pick out your stuff I know that in the Clutter Corner group group we get together every Saturday and we take our donations to the Goodwill or the Salvation Army or other donation centers homeless shelters and places like that that that can use recyclable items and one of the the key elements is we're getting rid of stuff on a regular basis so as stuff comes into our house we're making immediate decisions about it and getting rid of it and when the family starts to see that this is the new Norm it gives them them permission to say hey wait a second I might have some things that I'm not using anymore that I wasn't okay giving away six weeks ago but now that I see other members of the house starting to kind of pair down their items and getting rid of things and like I'm watching them from a distance and nothing bad is happening to them for having getting rid of these things maybe I can get rid of some of my things as well and I remember one day I was packing the car and my husband came running out he's like wait wait a second is this the box that goes to the Goodwill and I said yes he said I have some old shoes and I said I will wait and he goes and he grabs his shoes and they're shoes that he was never going to wear again he replaced them with new shoes but kept the old shoes and the one in one out philosophy is a great one because if you get something new you got to get rid of the old and the other day he bought a pack of 10 t-shirts like the white undershirts that you wear under a dress shirt and I hung on to him he goes hey give me those those are M and I said they are but I'll make you a deal if I give you this pack of undershirts that you just bought this means 10 new undershirts in your closet can I have 10 back in return whoa wait a second I don't have 10 I want to give you and I said really think about it you just replaced 10 undershirts can you give me the old ones or the ones that are stained or the ones that have like underarm stains or they might be ripped or they might be so threadbear because they've gone through the laundry so many times can you help me get rid of 10 if you introduced 10 new ones into your wardrobe and it's a conscious effort but we are we are consciously trying because we don't want to be like our parents where we saved everything right and I I am a firm believer and being resourceful if I can reuse something 10 or 15 different ways I just feel like I've achieved something like Yay right but what that means is I can't go out and buy all the supplies to make the new things if what I'm doing is the resourceful thing and then I have to finish the projects that I start I want to stop for just a second and I want to say hi to everybody here because you guys have just uh loaded me with so many notes Here I just I just love these always great videos Angela I'm working through both my parents things after their death four years later and still sorting Diana I want to say I'm so sorry for your loss that is a a tremendous effort to try to go through things especially when a parent is involved uh my husband lost his father two days ago and so right now my husband just for the last 48 hours has been around the clock remembering and reminiscing the memories and the things and you know my dad liked this and he liked that and just just the attachments he's had and it's only been two days but that's going to be a long process and the grieving process is different for everyone and so whether it's two days or four years or for 40 years there's a grace period where we have to give ourselves Grace and so I'm going to ask as you go through that grieving process that you allow yourself to grieve it's easy to put off the feelings because I'm really busy this week and I've seen this a lot especially in the homes of people that we've worked with over the years as a house cleaner they're they're Executives and they're like wait a second I've got a meeting on Friday I can't grieve right now although I I had this tragedy in my family I can't grieve I got to get through this meeting on Friday oh it's not a good time right now to grieve I have something else going on oh my wife just got sick I can't grieve that right now I'm you know I can't I got to deal with this and so they keep pushing back their emotions because life gets in the way and as life gets in the way it's easy to hang on to things like when I start grieving I'll go through all my stuff and it's it's huge because it just kind of Builds on top of each other and it becomes the things that Define us and so I want for us to take the time to grieve it's okay to grieve it's okay to feel the pain and one of the things that we have a hard time with is we live in a culture that doesn't allow pain we're told from a very young age don't don't feel anything don't be you know be a man don't cry don't be sad like smile be happy repeat affirmations and always be positive and I believe in all of those things but at the same time there's an EB and a flow that oftentimes we don't talk about until we start dealing with mental health issues and I say mental health issues because we have a physical health and we have a mental health and we we say mental health and a lot of people like stop right there I don't have a problem well it's not that there's a problem what it comes down to is we want to take care of all of our health because it's connected our mental health is connected to our physical health and it's connected to our social health and our financial health and our Rel relationship Health which is our families and our wellness it's connected to how we think and are able to reason and respond and and learn it's it's connected to our educational health so there are all different types of healths that are associated with us being well and so there's a process and so many times we say well I'm busy raising the kids I don't have time right now to take care of me I'll take care of me when the kids grow up and then when the kids grow up we're now taking care of their kids and we don't have time to still take care of me right so I really want us to focus on there's a grieving process and I am so sad when somebody loses a family member because it is heartbreaking but there's also a process that has to happen in order to recover and I'm not saying it doesn't mean forget them it doesn't mean let go of their memories it doesn't mean that they're less important in your life what it means is they are such an important part of me I want to honor that part of Me by celebrating my own life and becoming the best version of myself through the things that they taught me through the things that they shared with me through the person that I became as a result of them being in my life and we honor those moments I am doing an interesting study right now and I know that one day one of the most influential people in my life was my dad and I would love to have all of his little cans of nuts and bolts not really I'm not going to use them ever I'm not going to make anything with them but how can I how can I honor my dad and thank goodness he's still alive how can I honor him while he's alive so what I did was I said is there any chance we could get together for one hour a week and we could do a podcast and I could ask you questions and you could share with me your insights and he said yes and and I was like cool and then he said I'll make it even better than that and he said I will create a book of my insights and wisdom and I don't know if I have the the banner here I would love to show you if I do uh hang on one second here this is the book that my dad wrote It's called The insights and wisdom of omoon and he goes by omoon because he doesn't want the world to hunt him down and harass him and his his family as they do harass people that have YouTube channels so um in all fairness he's actually much wiser than many of us give him credit for but he wrote this book called The insights and wisdom of omon and then every Saturday we get together for one hour and I interview my dad and I ask him questions and he shares with me his insights and his wisdom now what's really cool about that is this when my dad leaves this Earth I'm not going to take take any of his stuff I don't want any of his physical belongings but I will cherish forever the podcast that we're creating every Saturday morning over on the livewith impact Channel and if you want to check it out it's youtube.com and then the app sign live with impact and that is where you'll find omoon every week doing the the podcast where he breaks down check it out the insights and wisdom are characteristics of a leader and so you were going to be the best version of yourself the best parent the best leader the best business owner what would you do and he talks about things like character and integrity and honesty and compassion and accountability and it's brilliant absolutely brilliant and so the reason I bring this up is that's the impact that he's had on me and then what can I leave behind and so when we talk about the generational impact of Hoarders yeah we do I do have hoarding tendencies and I probably always will it's probably like being an addict where you have something in your blood that you're drawn to or you're attached to I mean I don't know why but I can go into a store and see something on sale and there's a little part of dopamine that gets me really excited like I need that thing it could be a pair of shoes and then it might be a comfortable pair of house shoes and I say oh look how cool is are those shoes they're on sale for $3 or something and then not only are they on sale for $3 but have one in every color and I start thinking oh wow every outfit it would match you know everything that I have I could just get this inexpensive pair of shoes but do I need 10 pairs of shoes and the answer is no I don't and so that's a part of me that will probably always be because I love deals and discounts and I think that's the era we live in right now we've been trained as a society to love deals and discounts and so when we go through I'm going to just say a drive-thru for example they have like a little meal that's very expensive and they have a big meal for just a few cents more and we think whoa I should get the big meal that's a few cents more right because more food for just a little bit more money not thinking about the calories and what that's going to do to our you know make us have lethargy or go into a food coma or add you know two pounds to our waistline or whatever it is it's just a deal therefore it must be good right so there are all these different little effects that kind of like Compound on top of each other and then that becomes who we are and when we look at kids we there's a whole generation right now where kids have just in meshed themselves in electronics and I remember when I was young and I bought my first computer it was almost $2,000 for my first computer and I saved and saved and saved for it because I could see the value of the time time it was going to save me from the tasks that I could automate way back in the day when nothing was automated there were no apps there were no software I mean you had to hardcode everything it was I mean times were tough and those computers were expensive but I saved because I knew that it was going to revolutionize the way that I did my business and I thought man this is awesome I need one of these and we have kids today that just a $1,200 iPhone is just like nah you know it's two years old I need a new one uh no you do not you can still take some mighty fine photos with the iPhone 12 and you can still you know talk on the phone and you can still text everybody and all the GPS still works and they update the software so the software is the most updated software it's just that it's not the latest color or whatever it is right very small minute changes and Kinder ey the Y one doesn't work anymore I need the new one that's an era that we have right now kids are collecting a lot of stuff I've seen little tiny babies that have more toys than my entire family all 19 of us had combined one kid one kid what is with this right and as parents as grandparents as the favorite aunt or the favorite uncle we're empowering kids to have more stuff now I've gone inside people's homes to clean their homes and as I've gone inside I had to have contests with siblings like who has the cleanest room when I arrive this week because the person with the cleanest room gets their floor vacuumed and the other floors you can't even see the floors they're so cluttered with clothes and toys and shoes and stuff right I had to host contest I brought blue ribbons with me and I would give out a blue ribbon to the kid that had the cleanest room and the kids are like oh my goodness I got to clean my room and I get a blue ribbon and they would hang them proudly on their mirrors inside their bedrooms like hey check check it out I had the cleanest room this week and what I what I realized was if I bring one and you can buy packs of like 10 for 10 bucks online if I brought one $1 Blue Ribbon all the kids in the house would scramble knowing that the house cleaner was coming and they would try to clean their room so they could receive the Blue Ribbon of the week because that meant they had achieved something isn't that sad and there they were every week like hurrying and cleaning and making making a a big to-do about it and they would proudly hang those just a whole row of these blue ribbons and it became a game but you know what it was an investment in those kids let me show those kids how to clean because here's what happens we're all part of a community when kids can participate in the cleanup around the house and they can put their dishes away after every meal and they can put their garbage inside the trash can and they can pick up the paper items paper plates and paper cups and bags and things from door Dash or whatever they can throw those in the trash when they're done what we're doing is we are empowering kids to be part of the family community and then when they go out into the real world guess what they're like hey I know what to do with the trash I know how to take out the trash and put it out on the curb at the end of the week before trash day and now they have a set of skills they can use in their next situation so are we training our kids to be quarters and to collect clutter and to buy their affection and their love with stuff or are we teaching them how to interact with stuff by processing it and getting rid of it every week when you take a donation down to the Goodwill or the Salvation Army are you teaching kids that even though we have stuff coming into our house when we receive something as a gift if we don't need or want it instead of hanging on to it just because it was a gift the gift doesn't mean love but we can immediately regift that to someone else we have an entire shelf in in our house and this is a really cool shelf it has all brand new stuff that people have given us that we can't use don't want don't need or it's a duplicate of something that we do need or want and it's all brand new stuff every single time there's a birthday or a holiday or whatever we go shopping on the Shelf there's a whole shelf of stuff that we already have yay and we just go in we go oh this would be a perfect gift for so and so and then we reg we we regift it and I I hate to say this but I've received a lot of gifts and they're all still new with tags they're new in the package they're new in the box and I mean I'm even Savvy enough now to save the wrapping because a lot of people spend a lot of money on rapping they got these special gift bags with bows and all the stuff and I just leave it inside the packing and then just change the name tag and give it to someone else it's already done for me yay hey that saved me a whole bunch of time right I want us to start looking differently at our lives because lots of people feel trapped by their stuff they feel trapped I don't want you to feel trapped I want the stuff in your life to bless you and to make your life easier not harder I don't want you to wake up and say oh I have to sort through all this stuff okay we'll sort through a little bit of it today start with a little area that you're in right now and sort through a few items in that area and then tomorrow start in a different area and don't bring more stuff in it's not a matter of organizing stuff it's a matter of removing some of the stuff that we have we don't need all the stuff we have we really don't and so if you give yourself permission like hey what bad thing happens to me if I get rid of all this stuff nothing and with the belief that more stuff is going to keep coming into our lives if you did nothing to amass new stuff new stuff would still arrive into your life I don't know why but it seems to come from nowhere right and I got a whole bunch more comments here so I want to say hi to you guys hi for those of you that are just joining us uh Tony says OU are meant to speak to me today my mom passed in August she hoarded in her apartment for over 15 years I'm still cleaning out my mom's apartment and I'm stuck and I'm so overwhelmed um Tara I am so sorry for your loss I am so sorry 15 years of sorting through someone else's belongings is and can be overwhelming and the question we have to ask when dealing with your mom is who was your mom what was your mother's message that she left on the world and is there something that really embellishes and honors and um how would you say exemplifies that message is there something that was really memorable to her I know when I was young there was a woman she was not related to me in any way she was a neighbor lady who lived about six blocks from us and I was this little hyperactive kid with ADHD and I was bouncing off the walls all the time and I was homeschooled and I don't know why or how it happened but my mother took me and my two older sisters so there were three of us girls every Wednesday we went to this little lady's house and she would teach us how to knit and tat and embroider and crochet and all these little hand nitting hand things and she was like a grandma to me if you will again not related in any way and from the time that I was young I had all these things that I had created Handbags and hats and scarves and pillowcases and like we created a whole bunch of things and it was kind of a way for us to spend time with her while she was teaching us these lost arts and when she passed away it was one of the saddest days in my life because I'd become really close to her having spent four or five hours with her every Wednesday for years and when she passed my first inclination was to hang on to all the things we had created together because I wanted to honor her and I said in the world that she she lived in she was always creating something new hanging on to the old wasn't her passion she would always give away the pillowcases and the hats and the scarves and the fun things she had created and so giving them away was her gift and so what could I keep that would honor her and it ended up being a tatting shuttle which was really small and it fit inside a little tiny shoe box of memories and so I tried for my entire life when I was getting rid of important objects from people who meant a lot to me what can I keep that will really shine a light on the essence of who this person was and make it something really tiny and something small that I could then keep because I didn't want to just get rid of everything there's a part of me that has sentimental attachments and so as I wanted to hang on to some things what one or two small items will mean the world to me if I hang on to these and then let the rest of it Go and so as we work through those things they're tough choices these are really really tough choices we have to make and I want for each of us to give ourselves permission to grieve and then to find those one or two items that really speak the emotions that we feel every time we see that thing and think of the person that meant so much to us uh jeie says right now while listening I'm going through my clothes and I'm donating because of your video thank you um thank you so much I love I love hearing stuff like this because we're all in the same situation we're all in this together we're all in the process of going through some of our things that we have to work through right so I love the fact that we're able to work through through this together um Amanda says that's an awesome idea uh in quiz says I worry about setting up a living trust as a homeowner in savings when not having any other person in my life at this point 66 years in my life is worrisome oh um that I understand I understand because there are a lot of people that don't have anyone to leave anything to and they don't know who's going to take care of them as they age but this I want to suggest I want to suggest that you start partnering with people around you and this I want to share with you um I just joined a gym a couple of weeks ago um I decided I'm going to get back in shape and menopause has not been kind to the extra weight that I've packed on so I decided to go to a gym and within two weeks time I've made a whole bunch of new friends at the gym now here's the caveat I don't have time for a social life but I do have to get dressed every morning so if I'm getting dressed every morning at the gym in the locker room with other women that are putting on their makeup we can chitty chat while we're putting our makeup on and we're getting dressed at the same time every morning so we all go do our separate workouts and then in the locker room there's this little social half hour where everyone is Chitty chatting and catching up on all the all the details of each other's lives lives and what's really interesting on the way out of the gym the other day there's a woman I just met we've only known each other for two weeks and she said who do you have in your life and I said what do you mean and she said if something happens to you who do you call and I said um you know well my husband and what happens if something happens to him and I said um well relatives or whatever she said I'm going to give you my number if you ever need anything call me and I said Jenny who do you call and she said I'm going to call you and I said okay let's swap numbers so we did and here's the important thing there are people in our lives that are not on our payroll and this is a a catch because I got a lot of people on my payroll and they're probably the First Responders because they would be the first to to find me if something happened but we need close friends we need friends and it can be friends from our community and if we're not part of a community it's okay we can still be part of a community we can we still have time right uh communities come from church groups communities come from neighborhoods like the neighborhood association um I'm not really big on socialization I work a lot but one of the things I noticed is that one of my neighbors came to me and said I'd really like to be a friend and you're a really hard person to be a friend too because you don't come to any of our neighborhood activities I said I don't have time and you all just get together and drink wine and I don't drink alcohol so it's kind of weird for me and she said what I'd like to do is meet you at the at the Country Club every Saturday morning at 7: a.m. and let's go walking together I'd like to get to know you better my first thought is like what are you selling she's like I'm not selling anything I just want to be your friend I'm like okay cool it's 7 o'clock in the morning we'll go walking and it's really cool because we'll walk in any kind of weather and I've got to know all about her family and all about her kids and we chitchat together and it's it's really great socialization so for those of you that are in the same situation and you are between friends or if you don't have anybody to leave your resources to or if you need resources it's not too late to connect to somebody or something and there are lots of groups out there and if you want to get started my suggestion is that you first check in your own neighborhood what's happening in your neighborhood is there a neighborhood Facebook page do you belong to a church there are also organizations like uh I believe it's 211.org where they can put you in touch with organizations and associations where they can help you either set up a volunteer opportunity um I know that at the YMCA where I I just joined a YMCA they've got a lot of volunteer opportunities and the volunteer opportunities are not just with that one YMCA but there are branches all over and so they'll get together and they'll have like Saturday garage sales and Saturday bake sales and they'll donate to different like coat drives and you know different things like that that everybody gets to protect participate they also have jobs and so I know that at the why that I'm I'm I joined right now they're looking for more help and so there are a lot of seniors that have picked up jobs where they're like oh my goodness this is a great place for me I was going to come to the the the why anyway and work out and this is an opportunity where it's an environment they were going to be in they get a discounted or free membership and then they also get paid for the time that they're either they're sitting there welcoming people to the the thing or hanging banners or cleaning up or how whatever they need right so there are a lot of different opportunities um Amanda says that's a huge blessing to have in life and I'm thinking that comes from another one someone says I tried to give her item some dignity by giving many of her things away to people that live here that are needy I feel like I can sell her good things but it will take me forever um it it is possible it will take forever but they also have aate sales where on one Saturday you can get an organization together and it could be a group of friends or it could be neighbors or even family and they come in and they bring all of your stuff and put it outside and you put prices on it and you can have three or four of your neighbor friends help you with a an estate sale and you can sell all the things that you're ready to let go of at one time and then you can do it every year as you are ready to let go of more and more things and I love the fact that you are willing to give it to some needy people that were in the you know in the area that could use that Holly says you can be sentimental but also not a hoarder that's true that's true there are a lot of people that are not hoarders there are people that are Immaculate in the way that they live but have hoarding tendencies and so there's a really big difference between somebody who just has a lot of stuff and then people who have a lot of stuff that they're connected to that necessarily does not take up a lot of space right now we live in an era and this is a whole new wave of hoarding but there's electronic clutter there are a whole bunch of people that have thousands thousands of photos that they've never been able to sort through and they have hundreds of files and a kabillion emails and as technology upgrades itself we're updating and updating and updating and updating and people say oh I have a laptop that kind of the the hard drive on it went out and they're saving it and they're going to get it fixed because maybe the keyboard still works or whatever and we've run into this whole new era of they've got 12 laptops now stacked up we have people that have old I kid you not zip drives from way back when when they had those those not the floppy discs but like the little hard discs where it would save like 35 megabytes of storage space and then people that have gobs I'm guilty of this I still probably have I don't know spindles of CDs and DVDs with content on them that need to be transferred to hard Diss and then we have the little hard drives which were the little five terabyte hard drives that were so cool because they hold 5 terabytes instead of 32 gigabytes or whatever the CDs have right there are people that have a lot of electronic stuff so there's a whole new generation that is hoarding a whole different series of things and so what I'm talking about foring it's not just junk in a house okay it's a lot of different things it's one family having seven generations of dishes seven generations of dishes because it was they were all that child remembers eating with all these different places you know dishes and stuff for holidays through the course of their lives and though they only may use that set of dishes once for one meal a year they're still hanging on to that there's a lot of stuff and lots of people I I live in a neighborhood where lots of people have a place for all their stuff there's a lady that lives in a neighborhood we cleaned and she bless her heart she bought the house next door to her as a storage unit for the house she had that had overloaded with stuff and then she moved all of and the houses were Immaculate they were organized there was a place for everything but oh my goodness she just had so much stuff so now she had two houses right next to each other and she would just kind of toggle between the two houses depending on what she needed we live in an era right now where people not have one busy house the houses are organized the houses are tidy but they've got their house they've got the parents house that they in inherited and I do like this meaning husband's house her her husband or her her parents house both parents houses they got those houses they got their own house they got a storage unit they've got a shed they've got a garage they've got an attic we're we're seeing stuff we've never seen before and so however organized we are is still an issue ah why why does it have to be an issue a Rashi says I just bought a new car that hardly has any storage areas and I have to declutter and downside what was in my previous car I love the fact that you are aware of that that's awesome um and Maran says my mother said the depression didn't really hit the Netherlands but then the war there was a uh but then the war there was a hoarder it was neat and tidy but she didn't have an overabundance of anything an overabundance and everything was put away um it it's interesting when we see how many people have put all their stuff away and they've tidied everything up and we live in an era where everybody's like focused on organization and Pinterest looking bins with labels on them and storing all the stuff we just have way way way too much of it um I don't you guys why not use it I also had a grandmother had special dishes that were only used on special occasions and I I love special occasion dishes but if we're going to sit down as a family let's make every meal a special occasion let's use all the dishes let's use the dishes that we've been saving for years and never did why did we not use them how sad would it be for family members to come in after we're gone and say I ate one meal on this set of dishes no please let's let's use them now that's what life is all about is making those moments now I've heard that hoarding is a mental health issue um it yes hoarding is a mental health issue but so is everything that we do in life if it's connected to your mental your mental health and your mental well-being it's a mental health issue U getting up in the morning and not sleeping in late is a mental health issue going to bed on time is a mental health issue making sure that you have social interaction with other people is a mental health issue and I want to really be aware of the fact that our mental health is connected to our physical health and all the health around us I don't want to isolate it like it's a disease it can be a disease and there are certainly people that have exacerbated it to the point where it needs extra special attention but every decision we make goes back to our mental health and so do we deserve to be mentally healthy the answer is yes we do we deserve to be physically healthy we deserve to live in a good clean house house and so that's my message for you here today um we Holly says my dad is a severe hoarder and his mom also hoarded and I'm constantly pleading with him to go through his stuff it's very selfish behavior not to care about the burden I'll face when he dies thank you for bringing that up because so many kids feel that way so many kids feel that way and they don't want their parents stuff they don't uh Lisa says I'm wanting to create new relationships but I'm embarrassed by my clutter so I can't invite people over um Lisa I want to give you one suggestion until you can invite people over please make some friends and go out go out please meet people at restaurants meet them at a coffee shop coffee is is less expensive than a meal meet them at a park if you don't know anybody please go to a park you'll find people walking their dogs go out and talk to people about their dogs make conversation and make some friends because the first thing that will help us in getting rid of our clutter and inviting people over is number one giving ourselves permission to say hey I'm okay and I deserve friends everybody deserves friends just like they deserve to live in a clean healthy happy life right you deserve friends so even if your home is not friend ready yet you are enough and you matter and so I want you to get to a place where you can have friends over but until that moment please go out and meet friends wherever those friends are okay it will relieve a burden from you but it will immediately let you get connected with people who care about you because you do matter all right I have man we are running out of time we're gonna have to continue this conversation you guys um uh Holly says I was too ashamed to invite friends over to my parents house when I was a teenager because of the Clutter the house has only gotten worse and it makes it very difficult to clean yes it does make it difficult to clean if there's clutter and again we inherit some of these behaviors from our parents but we do have a choice and I love the fact that you guys have joined me here today because joining me lets us know that we have a choice and joining me here today lets you know that you're not alone you're not alone in experiencing this everybody right now is experiencing this we are four five six Generations deep in stuff this is not new this is not an isolated issue this is something we're all going through together and I want to pay attention to the younger Generations because the kids of today are growing up in an ERA with all the electronics and they focused on what's in front of them and what's in front of them is the tendency to buy more it's the tendency to be cooler and get cool points by having stuff either they don't need don't want can't use and can't afford only to amass all this stuff and it does not bring true happiness love compassion kindness friendship any of those things so they're amassing wide arrays of things that do not bring them happiness and it's showing up in other ways that are sad from isolation and sadness and self harm and a bunch of other things that then trigger a whole bunch of other series of issues okay so it is time for us to give ourselves permission to get in control of our stuff because like I said this is an epidemic and it's something that needs to be addressed so I really appreciate all of you guys joining me today I love you guys I just I really I really appreciate these times that we're able to spend together and the conversations that we're able to have I am going to let you guys go today because I do respect your time please leave your notes in the comments below and then when I get a few free minutes I'm going to jump back in and answer as many of these questions as I can please know you are not alone and please remember that you are enough all right you guys take it easy and I will see you again same time same place next week take care

[Music] last will definitely scared me to be the first one in my family to go to a four-year college and just knowing that I'm a year away from graduating I feel like that's a great accomplishment for me basketball state means for the right direction get me away from the negativity it was a good motivation start seeding now like I feel like I've accomplished a lot from what I've been through I remember a high school freshman year I was five nine I didn't take basketball so serious and then I started up to sixteen my sophomore year and my coach always told me like you're gonna be a d1 basketball player and I never believed them so my junior knocks right up 65 and I just see the differences on the court I knew academics is a strong part of why Holocaust wanted me here so I went to the Holy Cross basketball camp my first Division one camp and after a couple days here I got my first offer and then two weeks later I committed because I thought it was the right place I got the job in Jihad ahead signed already and so I went down to Sayreville New Jersey and Washington practice just to see what what we had he was pretty shy kid and you know a big guy could run and jump couldn't shoot a lick but he you know he was excited about Holy Cross coming there it's just been great to see the way he's grown you know getting involved in a lot of different things on campus he's noticeable because of his size on campus but also because his involvement in different activities adding things here and there to get away from basketball it helps cuz like that's what isn't everything so you have to like find a way to get more involved in campus last summer I worked on campus and the multicultural education office I was like a student assistant there so I think that was a good experience to put on my resume I've now I'm a part of the mocha program which is the men of color athletes on campus and them I see the men involvement coalition so I was just been more involved in campus just to help my experience here at Holy Cross last year I think maybe he played about 11 minutes a game so we got a taste of it if we weren't lost it didn't depend on him and now it does and he's recognized that even in the beginning of this year he was just a little hesitant to tell his teammates you know come on you got to do this and we got to work harder but now he's you know had some success and people are starting to look up to him and you know it's a two-way street you start to feel better about yourself and then the players your teammates start to say well there's a guy I can sort of latch on to and it's been really great to see you know him just come along after my freshman has seen what it takes to win the championship we have the experience for our juniors so we know what it takes to win so we we try to shed light on that to our freshmen like we've been there we've done that so like I definitely if you followed our footsteps I was the first person from cerebral to make it to the SES they dedicated a August 8th to me as to have a ploy day and ever since then I've been celebrating August 8th that's my day [Music] you [Music]

UQx DENIAL101x 5.2.4.1 Methane clathrate feedback
First, what are clathrates, anyway? Methane clathrates or hydrates are ice-like substances that trap methane gas in a cage of water molecules. They form where there is a combination of high pressures and low temperatures. We find clathrates at or just below the seabed, usually in ocean depths of greater than 500 metres. When they are dredged up from the deep, they fizz out methane and can be set alight. The picture on the left shows white streaks of clathrate in a lump of dredged-up mud that’s about a foot across. The photo on the right shows methane gas burning as it is released out of the hydrate cage. Clathrates are also found in the Arctic, in places where there are thick sections of permafrost. In these conditions, clathrates can form at depths as shallow as 200 metres below the surface--either on land or under a shallow ocean shelf. These diagrams show the conditions where clathrates are stable. Typical conditions for permafrost clathrates are shown on the left and for deep sea clathrates on the right. Clathrates become unstable as soon as the temperature goes up or the pressure goes down. **So, why should we care about Arctic clathrates? We care because -Firstly, there is more carbon stored in clathrates than there is in the entire atmosphere. The great majority are found beneath the deep seabed, with about one percent in areas of continuous permafrost, according to the latest estimates. -Secondly, it would take the release of only a fraction of one percent of the world’s hydrates to double the concentration of methane currently in the atmosphere. That would make for a big addition to man-made global warming. -Finally, the clathrates found in the Arctic are the most vulnerable to climate change, because this area is the most rapidly warming place on Earth. On the other hand, here’s why we don’t need to worry too much-yet The good news is that the clathrates are quite well protected from man-made global warming. It will take a lot of time for the recent man-made global warming to reach them— probably thousands of years or more for the majority of clathrates that occur in deep oceans or that are buried under hundreds of metres of frozen rock. More good news--for the atmosphere at least--is that when deep sea clathrates become destabilized, most of the methane gets consumed in the sediments on the sea bed. Some methane may still make it into the water, but, even then, the methane in the bubbles is absorbed before it gets to the surface. The released methane will locally deplete the oxygen in the sea water and also worsen ocean acidification. Some of it will eventually be released to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. There are clathrates located on continental margins at the upper limits of their stability range that are emitting methane into the seawater today. However, this is a process that has been going on for many thousands of years and--because the water is so deep there--the methane does not reach the atmosphere. Nevertheless many people—a few scientists and many lay people—are concerned that methane hydrates might be destabilized on a large scale by recent global warming and that they pose a serious and imminent threat to the Earth’s climate. For example, a recent article in the journal Nature estimated the economic impact of warming provoked by a sudden release of 50 billion tonnes of methane from the shallow seas of the East Siberian Arctic Shelf. The paper was criticized by many scientists for failing to make clear that it was looking at the consequences of a **very unlikely** occurrence. Studies in this remote part of Siberia are in their infancy, because it is difficult and expensive to operate in the harsh conditions there. Nevertheless, recent research has shown that there is methane bubbling up from the frozen seabed in that area. The Siberian shelf is quite shallow, averaging around 50 metres, and some of the methane released makes it to the atmosphere, especially when storms stir up the water. One thing that we don’t know yet is if the methane emissions in this area have increased recently as a result of global warming, or if they are just part of a slow release that has been going on for many thousands of years. We also don’t know if the methane is coming from normal biological processes at the seabed--or from destabilizing clathrates. Some of the gas may be sourced from organic matter buried much deeper in the sediment column--gas that has found its way up through holes in the permafrost. Our knowledge of where clathrates naturally form makes it look unlikely that there should be any present near the seabed on this shallow shelf. There have been no actual samples or geophysical indications of clathrates there yet. Another argument against large-scale, present-day clathrate destabilization is that in geologically recent periods—in the early Holocene (8000 years ago) and at the time before the last ice age (120,000 years ago)—when temperatures were a little warmer than today. There is no record of a massive and sustained methane release from destabilized hydrates. Nor is there evidence of any sudden global climate catastrophe at those times. It is a myth, therefore, that catastrophic clathrate destabilization is already upon us. Although the theoretical potential exists for this to become a problem after a long period of human-caused warming, we are not there yet. It would be **jumping to conclusions**to suggest that we are at risk of an imminent climate catastrophe from large quantities of clathrates suddenly becoming unstable. But if we continue to fail to limit emitting carbon dioxide from fossil fuels, we will certainly bring forward the day when clathrates do become a problem. However, there is still plenty to worry about in the Arctic As this picture shows, there are plenty of potential sources of greenhouse gases in the Arctic apart from clathrates. Some of these sources of carbon dioxide and methane are already active today and many of them will grow in importance over the next several decades as the region quickly warms and the permafrost thaws and glaciers and ice sheets retreat. These human-accelerated natural emissions may add a fraction of a degree to the average global temperature by the end of the century. Of all the stores of Arctic carbon, in the short term, clathrates are probably the best insulated from man-made warming, because they are only present far below the surface. Nevertheless, clathrate destabilization remains a concern for the climate over the centuries and millennia to come. Luckily, it’s not happening just yet and, in the estimation of the IPCC, is **very unlikely**to be a big problem during the rest of this century

WP 16-2_DampedFreeVibes1 - AD
in this problem we have a mass sitting on a frictionless surface attached to both a spring and a damper we're given a spring constant and we're asked to find the damping constant c that will make the system critically damped just as a reminder critical damping means that the system will return to equilibrium as quickly as possible without oscillating so its position will look something like this we know that the definition of critically damped for a system like this is c squared equals 4 m k so 4 times 15 kilos times 300 newtons per meter and that gives us 18 000 newtons kilograms per meter newton's kilograms per meter doesn't look like the units for c squared the units for c as a reminder are newtons times seconds per meter but newtons is actually kilograms meters per second squared times kilograms over meters the meters cancel out and we get kilograms squared per second squared and so when we take the square root of this we get 134.2 kilograms per second that still doesn't look like our units but we can actually remind ourselves that if newtons equals kilograms meters per second squared then kilograms equals newtons times seconds squared per meter so we'll write our kilograms per second as newtons times seconds squared per meter all over seconds those cancel and we end up with our units of newtons times seconds per meter so c equals 134.2 newtons times seconds per meter thanks for watching this video find more videos and material at mechanicsmap

so it looks like he has sumner's pack and some people tighten in hand he'd like to be able to cast the sage and the titan here yeah i don't think he can i think he's one minute short but what he can do is summoner's pack for wreck sage attack do a bunch of damage and i think he has a second summoner's pack for skirt tri-builder which can get a mountain which will deal a giant amount of damage saw ross doing some math in real time there he's lining up the lands he's going to find with the permeable titan and the card he's going to find with the summoner's pack oh no is he looking for a card not in his deck so it looks like he set aside as if he's grabbing reclamation sage but now he's checking his sideboard it might be over there oh that face sells it

Endless Pattern Around a 12oz Latter Mug Using Mesh Warp and Images from Midjourney
[Music] so let me show you how to put a repeating or an endless pattern around a 12 ounce latte mug for a start now this will apply to any tapered mug but this one will use probably that image there you can see the flower on that side as part of the flower on that side so these are tiled now I'm using mid journey to create these and you can see the The Prompt there so once you get into mid journey and using it you can create your prompts there's the four that I've got there those there's one two three and four now what I've got to do is go down here we can use any of these I'll use them oh there's four more I generated but they're not repeating patterns they're just nice patterns to go around the mug okay let's look at this one just bring it up save image now that saves the image to somewhere okay there we go we'll just save it to downloads it'll be a good a place as any if you're using this on the iOS that saves it to Apple photos I could probably do the same here but for this point I I won't bother messing around with that now that we've got that image and that's saved in downloads I'll just check that I've kind of easily findable let me get over here where I can see it downloads and there it is there Affinity inspiration a possum which planting flowers it's a watercolor etc etc that's the one we want now then let's just hide that for the moment because I'll come back and save all those images in a moment now there's our Affinity photo version 2 and you can see I've got a couple of other ones already there in this in this option there's some cherries I made that more different types of cherries and there's that one there now that one isn't um there it is you can see it's another layer you've got to um you've got to turn on the warp let me just get those out the way for the moment and I want to put it there on top of those other ones this is why I had those turned off and that's where I'm going to put the image right there and I'm going to warp the image so let's go up here this is the template I made now that's exactly the right size template for a 12 ounce tapered latte mug and I've got I've got a number of videos on YouTube that show you how to make those if I remember if I get around to it I'll put these up on the downloader but they might already be on the website as downloadables okay so let's place this one place we'll go find it downloads there it is there that's the one we'll open that find the center line there it is there and place it there now that's not too bad I need a slightly bigger image but it doesn't really matter because what I'm going to do is pull that out to the corners pull that out to that corner that's down there it's there snapping is on so you can see the lines now I've got that there and we've got to put a mesh warp on that because that's not really suitable is it so down to the bottom right hand side and we want mesh warp these are live filters right mesh Warp that's why it puts that funny little thing on the side now bring that down to there bring the left hand one across to the bottom don't worry about the fact that it's all off square at the moment we'll straighten that up in a moment bring that down to there bring that across to there now I'll straighten the side ones up that's how it's in line with that bring that one across so it's in line with that that's pretty close go to the bottom bring that one out so it's in line with that bring that handle back across so it's in line with that now remember if you want to get hold of those handles again once you've moved off them you click in the corner there and there now we've got to get the center line which is about there I probably could have put some guidelines in there because you can't see the guides and you can't print them now I've just grabbed that and I'm bringing that up to the top this one down here has got the handles on it already now I'm just grabbing that one bringing that up to there then I'll use the handles bring that up there use the handles on that one too you can drag them sideways as well as see that's brought it down drag it sideways so you can just adjust that drag that one sideways adjust that a little bit now there's our image see how you've got the flower image on that side and the flower image on that side when you wrap that right around your 12 ounce latte mug those flowers will join up there's a flower tip there there should be the flower tip just there the edge of that flower there is the edge of that flower there and so on so it's pretty close now you can fiddle around with this and get it exact if you're able to produce an image that you want to wrap around that's a repeating pattern that's exactly that size which is [Music] 3035.2 pixels by one three seven one pixels then you'll get it without any errors at all but that's I mean that's as good as you're going to get who's going to see how fine that is because those flowers there will match up around the other side and that's all there is to it it's quite that simple and you go to export I am like cancel at a moment if you really want to do this then there's your transparent background okay so you try export this you've got export now on a PDF let's go from PNG there's your PNG I'll export that put that in downloads go over to finder and there's our downloads there and there it is now how nice is that a nice wrap around complete from end to end um mug pattern now if you're unhappy with the patterns then you go to Mid Journey which of course as you know is used on on see there's the flower there and there's the flower there if I use that one that flower there matches that flower there there's the end of that on the end of that flower there and that flower there very nice okay now if you want other ones there's some ones there now you'll notice I didn't put in the word tile so they're not tiled which makes the repeating pattern the word tile makes a repeating pattern and there we go that's all there is to it

Game Curious - Eldritch
all right here we go time for another game curious from horriblenight.com checking out the game for the very first time with very little background i'm justin lacey and tonight's game is eldritch um a roguelike action game first person uh developed by a couple guys that uh used to work at work on bioshock 2 and borderlands that's their claim to fame and right now they're at minor key games and uh this game first got my attention just from its kind of lovecraftian ties its art style uh the fact that it's kind of first person roguelike that's been something i've been pretty interested in checking out that genre lately and i did a recent playthrough of delver but i think eldritch may have a little bit more going on so that's kind of where i'm at mentally heading in this game let's see where eldritch goes one of our options here your basics is actually for an indie game response pretty well to alt tabbing on pc that's a big thing for me when i'm streaming so all right so as you can see it's like a mix of pixelated graphics and kind of uh some stylized shading more so than just rough bits but you can punch chairs so i'm playing this with mouse and keyboard don't really know what i'm getting into all right read okay i don't like libraries in real life so hey we've got interactive elements okay that's one way to handle a character creator okay who are we a lady this is how we how do we if we don't change if i'm a lady maybe i have to be a lady that is not a lady okay we'll go with that it's like lara croft with a beard okay i'm in awkward uh library scenes go on forever larry croft ladies and gentlemen labyrinth okay oh would you have a run that's where it came from i'm already turned around what the hell lots of things to read should we read them oh here we go space to jump it's at least encourage me to use the gamepad but press and hold okay cool we got jumping see if we can't hold it getting up nice and artifact extraterrestrial stone carvings purchase goods with them pick that currency up sir this way i probably gotta probably gotta crouch right see to crouch i need books to tell me how to crouch plus we got here shift sprint see crouch and oh we got liens we've got leaning what's over here why thank you library fourth wall library magical things bank chests deposit artifacts and bank chests for safekeeping artifacts you deposit here can be withdrawn later at this or any other chest when you die your possessions will be lost but the artifacts stored in the bank will remain good to know i got what is this let me think whatever this book is written in language you do not recognize as appeared in the strange glyphs they seem to lift off the page and take on a bizarre earthly forms words that circle you shaking you try to close the book but you find yourself transported to the alien world describing this pages huh game on here's where i will one piece of gear of each category okay map comes key unfortunately let's see a snake white snake and not the band what is that that's gotta be the compass right okay so we gotta in the top right um let me make an adjustment here remove my camera because there's [ __ ] going on top right all right so we got the map in the top right see where i'm at try to figure out what this green person thing is you don't see know back on track now kind of the snake i don't think i have any no no weapons going through the number keys i'm not going near anything looks like an enemy yet spike traps ham i want to eat it can i hold on to it damn it that was a waste got keys excuse me spike trap more ham ham everywhere ham everywhere this i don't know if this has missed six quite yet weapons and projectiles see to drop the object in your hand you can carry two weapons or objects sometimes press x to swap between them don't know what i meant to do loading up i could double i cannot do double rocks should we go down now we'll stay up here let's see oh we got a rock or gun what do you think okay exit swap got it so i can carry two total that's the swapping i thought i would put in the left hand or something creepy atmosphere it's kind of unexpected really wants to give me all this meat meat simulator meat eating simulator was that creepy dude the weird part is play these at the beginning you don't know like how aggressive you should be do i have ammo i have three bullets oh god are you i don't think you're friendly even though you hop hilariously thanks frog man thanks for your blue orb it's really helpful bottle rocker bottle we're going bottle dynamite like we're taking dynamite over bottle of rock oh here we are it is that fifth is it stl we're going to st louis what's that door oh we got the shop shop yeah if you cannot afford the price you can try to steal them but you'll make the shop keep angry double edged combat knife longer range and deadlier than your fists so that's our money i think we should buy a knife i don't really want to give up the revolver for it but revolver back up all right locksmith kit jump boots it is kind of like spelunky's shop damn shopkeep well [ __ ] with him later but now jump boots all right let's just let's keep going i don't really know what is going on enough to start adding random items in the mix just trying to get to all the rooms what is that what's the water i got a key i could have see daggers are everywhere i need bullets though this gun is gonna be pretty useless here pretty soon that does not seem to be an effective stabbing motion yeah we got a bank right i don't know player five bank zero what okay is it just for money how do i drop items in there ah crap look at all that money's we've chosen poorly opening the door on the way to the chest i hope you can super stab i'm feeling very confident in my defensive abilities quite yet knives and rocks everywhere i like the look of this game though even for its styles everything's going together well not quite as rough as some of the other ones i've played okay let's go down and see what this symbol on the map is oh crap is that just oh no yes i've gone there yet i'm not done with this floor oh maybe i'm done with this floor because it seems to be done with me a bunch of the spikes what are these fish guys up to oh we got a wizard of sorts she's the whoa spikes those are shorts stop humming what is this where are you drink that down coughing from a fountain you wish to also leave your health extend your maximum health nice all right so we hmm it's more exploration than i expected like it's not action first which yeah that's cool as long as you know that what is i want in there i won't see what the scenarios are doing that is locked and we have not demonstrated good key management quite yet how many oh how deep is this thing gonna go oh you got excited to see me creeper over the spikes took them out i guess i want those things to chase me endlessly they're hilarious oh hi wizards of peace i'll say that hopefully there are so many ways to go down most explorer must explore oh [ __ ] oh fireballs oh snake oh what are we doing in the tree real quick oh you hit each other tell me you're hitting each other you did you killed each other you ass yeah turning the wizards against one another and then dominating them that's how you do it what's up creepy worm oh my god don't scream at me ever again all right his stabbing motion while unorthodox has proven to be effective but why can't i cut the trees down up what what finding keys what i can't not make fun of that noise oh man this the verticality is throwing me off what we're back at the beginning no [ __ ] oh sh that's not what i meant to do god read this i'm not done exploring this place it's all tied to the library good to know didn't regenerate the whole level all right let's let's clear off this and there's a gun that close so what happens when i does it come with yeah it comes with ammo oh [ __ ] i should have been picking up the guns all along damn it because then we can just light these dudes up fish man slaughtered i'll eat that meat eat that meat he got hit bullets on him all right worm not too worried about you yet almost explored this whole top level wait yeah i gotta keep doing those because it gives me more maximum health so fruit probably about what i should have expected from fruit the apple core sound oh yeah wormy terrible he

not so excited about it i got some good cash but damn all right let's go to the treasure room scream right back at ya oh no what it literally looks like a bank full moneys damn it wait wait you've got guns in here right those bullets all right all right going down the map's making a lot of sense now oh oh oh oh oh oh oh he's so excited to die all right level two let's go find your statue because cloaking is not going to be my what the hell is this thing oh it's behind freaking locked door dammit i don't mind me wizard assassin over here hey i think we got to go down i don't think we can explore further i want to go oh wait me money and meat meat your money is this right am i on the right floor i feel like that i can't tell if it's going down two or if it's a half step down and a half step down it's terrifying holy that looks really far down compared to the other ones whatever let's just go i'm going that way look let's see if he takes fall damage nope huh just so bad for you guys they're just coming in to give me a hug i'm having none of it money oh oh oh what's this what are you exit we found the exit oh it's terrible poor bastard what what i definitely have not explored this floor yet so we're not done oh yeah keep me up keep them keys coming hey guy oh oh i want to get killed too oh please me please what is this what was this little turtle thing poor little guy is it kind of cute keys i don't know i don't know why i expected this like to be action first but kind of glad it isn't okay what's in here stealthy jerk okay we can leave should we leave so oh man let's see what else more else is going on hmm oh remember when i felt sorry for those guys they i didn't know what it was so i had to kill it before i realized that it was cute and i shouldn't kill it hey

i thought the green q is a different symbol but they're all green i thought he was a friendly creed like friendly turtle creature it turns out to be an insect which is obviously evil oh hey here we go step stab okay just about fully explored here i might use my key in there we got three keys let's use one come on actually it's too late now what the sh are you just what okay good i made a wise choice eat that meat cool um let's go up a level because i want to check out that other statue since i have keys to get to it so you gotta be faster than that there was a friend guys are popping back up right quickly though how do i get up there maybe i don't damn it oh my god okay to the statue and then we'll get out of here oh please i found look i'm getting a little too cocky it's not very quick on that fireball trigger what we got springy statue we get to jump a lot hurl yourself upward this thing only costs one i like that a lot better than cloaking i got 86 monies though so all right confused as to why nope let's get out of here oh they're joining together see ya got it oh just more okay that was gonna take me back to libraries this must be level two difficulty oh we got what we got in store for us here i hear new sounds what the eyeballs i've got eyeballs i see eyeballs i see dead eyeballs and flying eyeballs whoa fruits another statue already unstable pray to the unstable statue teleport throw a beacon and [ __ ] portal gun interesting so through the beacon there we go does it work through doors no up kind of feel bad shooting them you really aren't worth wasting bullets on let's be honest threat level is quite low these enemies so far except for that i don't trust that eyeball especially when i tend to oh perhaps i should use a projectile weapon perhaps i shouldn't make fun of his friends trying to melee a flying eyeball that don't advise that somebody open the door i almost fell down a hole got a little excited we got what we got what's the dynamite do blow holes through i think she probably said the diamond does that blows holes through oh whoops that was a long fall well love l'oreal by the exit now good work this game will all be into a false sense of i'm awesome we all know better all right drop the gun pick up the dynamite what does this do oh destructible environments hoe what the what's this we go i want to go through this to the stars come on i need to heal up i need some meat some fruit toxic fruit eat seems like a great idea got one key left but here comes oh hey you killed my fish friend hey i'm attracting quite a bit of attention i think oh [ __ ] those run i got excited just to see the meat further we're getting down here the shittier the food's getting hmm yeah the verdict i think the verticality is what makes this a little bit more interesting than the other first person dungeon crawler roguelikes have been playing and the screaming enemies are all built but i need right now i need something like exciting i need some some big hook here um the exploration is fine but and i'm entertained by their dumb voices rotten meat damn it i need something else though goodly i could keep going i've got a key and i've got we've got three keys and i'm close to the treasure room though that's what i want i want me some treasure hi look look yeah it doesn't look like it's possible we gotta go down oh flying eyeballs get your gun out oh that's so sad sorry eyeball but you had to die you understand it's still creepy to sit there all right we're on the exit floor give me some good i need some goodies let's start using this portal a little bit more uh not when there's a ladder right there though okay i hear something if it was beer i would take it but it's just a bottle maybe your character is supposed to get more and more drunk as you dive in [ __ ] i have one health left that is just crap oh what the [ __ ] it took me all the way back damn it that's oh wow did not mean to do that i placed my little portal up here on the first level and teleported all the way back to the fruit it was all part of the plan not really but what what it doesn't get old doesn't get old for me well apparently we didn't explore this area anyway so your bugs locked door i've got three of them let's keep oh we gotta find the other shop lucky charm keys we could buy keys how much for keys dude for five hell yeah dynamite don't need those jump boots stealth boots i think we're going to buy the jump boots how much are you jumping boots yeah yeah river booth springs this is pretty straightforward cool let's do business with you sir what that seems like a new noise oh balls oh god oh geez am i dead holy crap he came out of nowhere movie resurrection library positions will be lost but they dang tweet about it why would i tweet about it my tweet says i was shot by a flying eyeball in a murky dagonite ruin social media those look like they're the same button okay so we start back over do i have any money nope starting completely over all right i think we got to uh yeah i need to put some of those next time just helping you all out so we've got pink we got the blue purple book green book red book let's go to red this place is not a place of honor only opened by the soul of dagon so probably have to beat the first yep beat the first boss to open the other ones let's see anything else this library has to tell me no story stuff good enough so let's see how random this actually is i took my time though not the compass that's important all right well cool you can see you get deeper and deeper and three main sections of the game boss battles new enemies as you get further i'm sure kind of cool i like it um definitely have to be in the mood for it as far as like i said not very action oriented all about exploration and it's still it might be there but it still needs some sort of loot hook or some sort of some sort of upgrade that that makes it exciting to have some i needed another a thing to strive for other than right now it's just exploration and atmosphere but the atmosphere is great um i'm entertained by these dumb enemies at least they're dumb sounds um and uh pretty inviting difficulty to get started who knows where it ramps up but uh that's eldritch um out now on pc you can buy it directly from the developers or it's also on steam um for this episode of game curious i'm justin lacey we'll see you again on horriblenight.com you get the powers from the statues which seem to be pretty random kind of can be cool and that your secondary fire launches those you've got two primary weapons you can switch between as you get can i actually step on these so you can you can step on them you just can't fall on them or not or i died i know what i'm talking about and punching bugs holy crap i have no health whatsoever the hell is that all about all of a sudden i suck oh let's if in case you guys missed our character here this is larry croft seriously where i mean do the boobs go away there we go we got there are boobless characters let's see throw some dynamite somewhere throw dynamite at these hard edges is what we really need to do it says i can't get through there boosh whoa look through the ceiling as well i think i can break blocks by shooting him guessing oh my the really the gun ricochet hurt me cast knock aim in a locked door to unlock it that's awesome only seven all right we gotta see what happens right got him give me all your stuffs those jump boots give me that destruction amulet attacks more dangerous damaging there we go more loot oh so i can only carry one of those like we're carrying the destruction one we're gonna shoot [ __ ] okay so we found the exit all right let's see what happens i'll show your way to hell i won't let me so that's just its texture for end of the world damn it i really should do this all that is not where i wanted to go let's try it we've now entered the room between rooms what have we done don't look at me that way dusty book what happened what the [ __ ] new knife out there don't like where this is going it's a little weird a little hazy you've reached the money room my my room song what the hell no thanks sorry i got that i don't pick that up i like whatever symbol i've got has no apparent utility then keep the destruction amulet dumbaru that's the shop i just threw my gun at him no i deserve that oh trying to pick off all the shopkeepers i'm only good for one
